Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of raw material distribution technology, and more specifically, to a raw material ratio optimization mechanism for an MTBE device. Background Technology

[0002] Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12O. It is a colorless and transparent liquid, insoluble in water but readily soluble in ethanol and ether. It is an excellent high-octane gasoline additive and antiknock agent.

[0003] In the MTBE production process, precise control of raw material ratios plays a decisive role in product quality and production efficiency. Traditional MTBE plant raw material ratio optimization mechanisms have many drawbacks. Common flow meters, during measurement, are prone to fluctuations and vibrations due to unstable liquid flow within the pipeline. This causes the measuring element to be impacted and move irregularly, resulting in frequent fluctuations in the measurement signal. This makes it difficult to accurately measure the raw material flow, thus hindering precise raw material ratio control and severely impacting the stability of MTBE product quality. Furthermore, in harsh industrial production environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, and strong electromagnetic interference, the equipment exhibits poor stability, a high failure rate, and significant maintenance and repair difficulties, severely affecting production continuity.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a feedstock ratio optimization mechanism for MTBE units to improve the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a raw material ratio optimization mechanism for an MTBE device. This mechanism utilizes three flow meter plates that drive a rotating shaft under liquid impact. A deflector plate is slidably connected to a damping ring, which increases the rotational resistance of the flow meter plates. This effectively suppresses irregular movement of the flow meter plates caused by liquid fluctuations and vibrations, resulting in a more stable measurement signal and significantly improving the accuracy of flow measurement. This addresses the problems mentioned in the background art, namely:

[0006] During the measurement process, common flow meters are prone to fluctuations and vibrations due to the unstable flow of liquid in the pipeline. This causes the measuring element to be impacted and move irregularly, resulting in frequent fluctuations in the measurement signal and making it difficult to accurately measure the flow of raw materials.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a raw material ratio optimization mechanism for an MTBE device, comprising a housing, the housing including a frame, a flow metering component rotatably connected inside the frame, the flow metering component including a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the lower surface of the frame, three flow metering plates fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, a lever fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of each flow metering plate, the lever being made of highly resilient stainless steel, and a damping ring fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame to increase the rotational resistance of the flow metering plates and reduce the fluctuations and vibrations that may occur in the liquid flowing in the pipeline, the lever being slidably connected to the damping ring;

[0008] A top cover is bolted to the upper surface of the frame, and a brake assembly is bolted to the lower surface of the top cover. When the flow metering assembly detects that the flow rate has reached the specified flow rate, the brake assembly is used to stop the rotating shaft.

[0009] In the above technical solution, the raw material flows into the frame and impacts the flow metering plate of the flow metering component. Since the flow metering plate is fixed to the rotating shaft, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate. At the same time, the pawl on the flow metering plate rotates with the rotating shaft and slides in connection with the damping ring. The damping ring increases the rotational resistance of the flow metering plate, reduces the influence of liquid fluctuation and vibration, and ensures the accuracy of flow metering. The rotation of the rotating shaft is used to detect the flow rate. When the flow metering component detects that the flow rate reaches the specified value, the brake component under the upper cover is activated to stop the rotating shaft, thereby accurately controlling the raw material flow rate and achieving precise raw material proportioning.

[0010] Based on this, a fixed seat is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover, and a support rod is inserted into the fixed seat. The support rod is hollow inside, and a mechanical counter for setting the flow rate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support rod. The rotating rod of the mechanical counter for counting passes through the support rod and is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the cover.

[0011] When the shaft rotates, it drives a connected mechanical counter to count. The mechanical counter converts the number of rotations or angles of the shaft into corresponding flow rate values, thereby enabling real-time detection and recording of the raw material flow rate.

[0012] In another technical solution, when the flow rate recorded by the mechanical counter reaches a preset value, the control system sends a signal to activate the hydraulic push rod. The hydraulic push rod is fixed to the base and connected to the lower surface of the upper cover via a mounting bracket, ensuring its operational stability. A friction plate is fixedly connected to the movable end of the hydraulic push rod. When the hydraulic push rod receives a signal, its movable end extends, pushing the friction plate into contact with the rotating shaft. The friction between the friction plate and the rotating shaft causes the shaft to stop rotating, thereby stopping the flow metering assembly and preventing the raw material from continuing to flow into the frame from the feed pipe, achieving precise flow control.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] The raw material proportioning optimization mechanism of this MTBE unit features a flow metering component with three flow plates that rotate the shaft under liquid impact. A slidable plate and a damping ring increase the rotational resistance of the flow plates, effectively suppressing irregular movement caused by liquid fluctuations and vibrations. This results in a more stable measurement signal and significantly improved flow measurement accuracy. Combined with a mechanical counter, the flow rate can be precisely set, enabling accurate metering of MTBE raw materials. This ensures accurate raw material proportioning and improves the stability of MTBE product quality. The primarily mechanical structure is simpler than traditional complex electronic equipment. The mechanical counter, flow metering component, and braking component work together to maintain high stability and reliability even in harsh industrial production environments, reducing the probability of equipment failure, lowering maintenance costs, and ensuring the continuity of the MTBE production process.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] For commonly used flow meters, the unstable flow of liquid within the pipeline during measurement can easily cause fluctuations and vibrations. This leads to irregular movement of the measuring element due to impacts, resulting in frequent fluctuations in the measurement signal and making it difficult to accurately measure the raw material flow. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a raw material ratio optimization mechanism for an MTBE device, including a housing 1, the housing 1 including a frame 100, a flow metering component 2 rotatably connected inside the frame 100, the flow metering component 2 including a rotating shaft 200, the rotating shaft 200 being rotatably connected to the lower surface of the frame 100, three flow metering plates 201 being fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 200, a lever 202 being fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the flow metering plate 201, the lever 202 being made of stainless steel with sufficient toughness, a damping ring 203 being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 100 for increasing the rotational resistance of the flow metering plate 201 and reducing the fluctuations and vibrations that may be generated by the liquid flowing in the pipeline, the lever 202 being slidably connected to the damping ring 203;

[0025] The upper surface of the frame 100 is bolted to the upper cover 101, and the lower surface of the upper cover 101 is bolted to the brake assembly 3. When the flow metering assembly 2 detects that the specified flow rate has been reached, the brake assembly 3 is used to stop the rotating shaft 200.

[0026] During implementation, the raw material flows into the frame 100 and impacts the flow meter plate 201 of the flow metering component 2. Since the flow meter plate 201 is fixed to the rotating shaft 200, it drives the rotating shaft 200 to rotate. At the same time, the paddle 202 on the flow meter plate 201 rotates with the rotating shaft 200 and slides in connection with the damping ring 203. The damping ring 203 increases the rotational resistance of the flow meter plate 201, reduces the influence of liquid fluctuations and vibrations, and ensures the accuracy of flow metering. The rotation of the rotating shaft 200 is used to detect the flow rate. When the flow metering component 2 detects that the flow rate has reached the specified value, the brake component 3 under the upper cover 101 is activated to stop the rotating shaft 200, thereby accurately controlling the raw material flow rate and achieving precise raw material proportioning. After completing one flow control cycle, if it is necessary to continue the supply and proportioning control of raw materials, the mechanism can release the brake component 3 to restore the flow metering component 2 to its initial state, waiting for the next round of raw material inflow and flow control process. This cycle repeats continuously, providing precisely proportioned raw materials to the MTBE unit.

[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a feed pipe 102 and a discharge pipe 103 are fixedly connected to the side of the frame 100. Both the feed pipe 102 and the discharge pipe 103 are connected to the interior of the frame 100. The raw material flows into the frame 100 from the feed pipe 102. After the flow measurement and control process is completed inside the frame 100, the processed raw material flows out through the discharge pipe 103 and enters the MTBE unit for subsequent reaction and production.

[0028] See Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical counter 205 uses a rotating rod for counting, which passes through the support rod 204 and is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating shaft 200. The rotating shaft 200 is rotatably connected to the upper cover 101. When the rotating shaft 200 of the flow metering assembly 2 rotates, it drives the rotating rod of the mechanical counter 205 to rotate synchronously. The mechanical counter 205 records the flow rate based on the number of rotations of the rotating rod. The operator can preset the required flow rate value on the mechanical counter 205. As raw materials continuously flow in, the mechanical counter 205 continuously counts, reflecting the current flow rate in real time.

[0029] See Figure 3 As shown, a hydraulic push rod 301 is fixedly connected to one end of the base 300. A fixing bracket 302 is fixedly connected to the surface of the hydraulic push rod 301. The other end of the fixing bracket 302 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper cover 101. A friction plate 303 for braking the rotating shaft 200 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the hydraulic push rod 301. When the hydraulic push rod 301 receives a signal, its movable end extends, pushing the friction plate 303 into contact with the rotating shaft 200. Due to the friction between the friction plate 303 and the rotating shaft 200, the rotating shaft 200 stops rotating, thereby braking the flow metering component 2 and preventing the raw material from continuing to flow into the frame 100 from the feed pipe 102, thus achieving precise control of the flow rate.

[0030] In this embodiment, the raw material proportioning optimization mechanism of an MTBE device, during specific use, firstly, the raw material enters the frame 100 through the feed pipe 102, and the flowing liquid impacts the flow meter plate 201. Since the flow meter plate 201 is fixed on the rotating shaft 200, and the rotating shaft 200 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the frame 100 and the upper cover 101, the flow meter plate 201 drives the rotating shaft 200 to rotate under the action of the liquid impact force. Simultaneously, the lever 202 at one end of the upper surface of the flow meter plate 201 also rotates, and the lever 202 is slidably connected to the damping ring 203 on the upper surface of the frame 100. The damping ring 203 increases the resistance to the rotation of the flow meter plate 201 and effectively reduces the impact of fluctuations and vibrations generated by the liquid flow in the pipeline on the rotation of the flow meter plate 201, making the rotation of the flow meter plate 201 more stable and accurate, thus providing a reliable basis for flow measurement.

[0031] When the shaft 200 of the flow metering component 2 rotates, it drives the rotating rod of the mechanical counter 205 to rotate synchronously. The mechanical counter 205 records the flow rate based on the number of rotations of the rotating rod, and the operator can preset the required flow rate value on the mechanical counter 205. As raw materials continuously flow in, the mechanical counter 205 continuously counts, reflecting the current flow rate in real time. When the flow rate recorded by the mechanical counter 205 reaches the preset value, the control system sends a signal to activate the hydraulic push rod 301. The hydraulic push rod 301 is fixed on the base 300 and is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper cover 101 through the fixing bracket 302, ensuring its operational stability. The movable end of the hydraulic push rod 301 is fixedly connected to the friction plate 303. When the hydraulic push rod 301 receives a signal, its movable end extends, pushing the friction plate 303 into contact with the shaft 200. Because of the friction between the friction plate 303 and the rotating shaft 200, the rotating shaft 200 stops rotating, thereby stopping the flow metering component 2 and preventing the raw material from continuing to flow into the frame 100 from the feed pipe 102, thus achieving precise control of the flow rate.
