Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber processing, and in particular to a multi-directional diversion steam flocculation device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional latex flocculation methods involve adding acids or other chemical reagents to the latex to break down and flocculate it, which has problems such as pollution and high cost. Steam flocculation can control costs and achieve green production goals. However, existing flocculation devices often use stirring to help the flocculation process to be more complete. In actual use, a large amount of latex often solidifies on the stirring device, which is difficult to remove. Moreover, most flocculation devices cannot achieve uniform contact between latex and steam, nor can they adjust the amount of latex required for flocculation as needed, resulting in poor flocculation effect. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a multi-directional diversion steam flocculation device that can simultaneously achieve full and complete flocculation of raw materials while adjusting the required raw material flow rate for flocculation as needed.
[0004] This utility model provides a multi-directional diversion steam flocculation device, including a support plate and an input pipe for inputting raw materials to be flocculated. The support plate has a through hole through which a pipe for inputting steam passes. A blocking part is provided on the outer periphery of the through hole and is fixedly connected to the support plate. Several adjacent toothed blocks are on the outer periphery of the support plate. A ring-shaped support platform is fitted on the outer periphery of the support plate. A guide pipe is provided at the bottom of the support platform and is located outside the pipe. The device also includes a fixing mechanism for adjusting the height of the support plate and fixing the support platform and the support plate together.
[0005] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes several L-shaped connectors. One end of each connector is connected to a first screw. The surface of the blocking part is provided with a first screw hole. The first screw is threadedly connected to the first screw hole. The connector is provided with a nut that is fixedly connected to it. The nut is provided with a second screw that is threadedly connected to it. The other end of the connector is provided with a second screw hole. The second screw hole is provided with a third screw that is threadedly connected to it. The third screw is used to clamp the outer wall of the guide tube.
[0006] Furthermore, the cross-section of the tooth block is rectangular.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the pipe is sealed, and the side of the pipe is provided with several evenly arranged air outlets.
[0008] Furthermore, the cross-section of the guide tube is funnel-shaped.
[0009] Furthermore, an output pipe is provided below the guide pipe and is detachably connected thereto, and a branch pipe is provided at the bottom of the output pipe and is connected thereto.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a support frame, on which a fixed rod is provided, and on the fixed rod are several connecting rods fixedly connected thereto. The ends of the connecting rods are provided with clamps, which are used to clamp the pipe. The bottom of the support platform abuts against the top of the support frame.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This utility model discloses a multi-directional diversion steam flocculation device. The raw material to be flocculated is introduced into the input pipe, which then feeds it into the support plate. During the downward flow of the raw material, the impact force generated by its free fall prevents it from overflowing from the top of the blocking section and flowing into the gap between the pipe and the through hole. Furthermore, the gaps between the toothed blocks allow the raw material to overflow slowly and evenly, preventing excessive overflow in any single area. The gap between the guide pipe and the support plate allows for more uniform flow into the guide pipe, resulting in more comprehensive and even contact between the steam inside the pipe and the raw material entering the guide pipe. This leads to better flocculation of the raw material and eliminates the need for external power sources to stir the raw material, significantly reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the absence of chemical reagents for flocculation makes it more environmentally friendly. When the flow rate of the raw material needs to be adjusted, the fixing mechanism is adjusted to raise the support plate, increasing the gap between the support plate and the guide pipe. This, in turn, increases the flow rate of the raw material entering the guide pipe, thereby improving flocculation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are provided below, and the utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0021] See Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a multi-directional diversion steam flocculation device, including a support plate 1 and an input pipe 2 for inputting raw materials to be flocculated. The support plate 1 has a through hole 3, through which a pipe 4 for inputting steam passes. A blocking part 5 is provided on the outer periphery of the through hole 3, and the blocking part 5 is fixedly connected to the support plate 1. Several adjacent toothed blocks 6 are on the outer periphery of the support plate 1. A ring-shaped support platform 7 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the support plate 1. A guide pipe 8 is provided at the bottom of the support platform 7, and the guide pipe 8 is located outside the pipe 4. The device also includes a fixing mechanism for adjusting the height of the support plate 1 and fixing the support platform 7 and the support plate 1 together. The raw materials to be flocculated are introduced into the input pipe 2, and the input pipe 2 inputs the raw materials to be flocculated into the support plate 1. The raw materials to be flocculated can be epoxidized natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or natural rubber. During the downward flow of the raw materials to be flocculated, the impact force generated by the free fall of the raw materials is then absorbed by the blocking part 5. This design prevents raw materials from overflowing from the top of the blocking part 5 and flowing into the gap between the pipe 4 and the through hole 3. The gaps between the toothed blocks 6 allow the raw materials to slowly overflow from these gaps, resulting in a more uniform overflow rate and preventing excessive overflow in any single area. Therefore, the raw materials can flow more evenly into the guide pipe 8 through the gap between the guide pipe 8 and the supporting plate 1, ensuring more comprehensive and uniform contact between the steam inside the pipe 4 and the raw materials entering the guide pipe 8. This leads to better flocculation and eliminates the need for external power sources to agitate the raw materials, significantly reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the absence of chemical reagents for flocculation makes it more environmentally friendly. When adjusting the flow rate, the fixing mechanism raises the supporting plate 1, increasing the gap between the supporting plate 1 and the guide pipe 8, thereby increasing the flow rate of the raw materials into the guide pipe 8 and improving flocculation efficiency.
[0022] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes several L-shaped connectors 9. One end of each connector 9 passes through a first screw 10. The surface of the blocking part 5 is provided with a first screw hole 11, and the first screw 10 is threadedly connected to the first screw hole 11. A nut 12 is fixedly connected to the connector 9, and a second screw 13 is threadedly connected to the nut 12. The other end of the connector 9 is provided with a second screw hole 22, and a third screw 15 is threadedly connected to the second screw hole 22. The third screw 15 is used to clamp the outer wall of the guide tube 8. Through the cooperation of the connectors 9, the first screw 10, the first screw hole 11, the nut 12, the second screw 13, the second screw hole 22, and the third screw 15, the bearing plate 1 can be fixed. The device is placed on the support platform 7. By screwing the second screw 13, the second screw 13 rotates relative to the nut 12, thereby allowing the second screw 13 to move up and down relative to the nut 12 and adjust the height of the support plate 1. This allows the gap between the support plate 1 and the guide pipe 8 to be adjusted, thus regulating the flow rate of the raw material entering the guide pipe 8. Through the cooperation of the third screw 15 and the second screw hole 22 on the connector 9, after screwing the third screw 15, the third screw 15 can abut against the guide pipe 8, thereby fixing the support plate 1 to the guide pipe 8. Moreover, the fixing mechanism is simple, easy to operate, and has low production and maintenance costs.
[0023] Specifically, the cross-section of the toothed block 6 is rectangular, which makes the gaps between different toothed blocks 6 more uniform and the material flow more stable.
[0024] Specifically, the bottom of the pipe 4 is sealed, and several evenly arranged air outlets 16 are provided on the side of the pipe 4. After the bottom of the pipe 4 is sealed and the air outlets 16 are provided, the steam can be discharged more evenly, thereby effectively flocculating the raw materials and achieving good flocculation effect. During the flocculation process, when the temperature at the outlet of the input pipe 2 is controlled at 35-55°C, the raw materials are introduced into the bearing plate 1 and diverted through the gaps between the toothed blocks 6, and flow down along the inner wall of the guide pipe 8. During the descent, the raw materials absorb the temperature of the inner wall of the guide pipe 8 and the steam temperature of its inner cavity to 80-100°C, thereby achieving heating, demulsification, and flocculation into gel blocks.
[0025] Specifically, the cross-section of the guide tube 8 is trumpet-shaped. In addition, the inner wall of the guide tube 8 can be polished to prevent the raw material from sticking to the inner wall of the guide tube 8. The shape of the guide tube 8 facilitates the slow sliding of the raw material along the inner wall of the guide tube 8, which is beneficial to the flocculation process.
[0026] Specifically, an output pipe 17 is provided below the guide pipe 8 and is detachably connected to it. A branch pipe 14 is provided at the bottom of the output pipe 17 and is connected to it. The flocculated raw material is discharged through the output pipe 17, and the branch pipe 14 can also release some steam. The other end of the branch pipe 14 can discharge the flocculated processed product.
[0027] Specifically, it also includes a support frame 18, on which a fixing rod 19 is provided. The fixing rod 19 is provided with several connecting rods 20 fixedly connected to it. The end of the connecting rod 20 is provided with a clamp 21, which is used to clamp the pipe 4. The bottom of the support platform 7 abuts against the top of the support frame 18. Through the cooperation of the support frame 18, the fixing rod 19, the connecting rods 20 and the clamp 21, the pipe 4 can be fixed, thereby facilitating the flocculation of this device.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
