Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical technology, and in particular to a stirring device used in the production of 2-isopropyl-2,3-dimethylbutyronitrile. Background Technology
[0002] 2-Isopropyl-2,3-dimethylbutyronitrile (2-isopropyl-2,3-dimethylbutyronitrile) is a crucial chemical intermediate with wide applications in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and many other fields. Sodium amide, as a key raw material, is typically found in flake form during its production. To accelerate the reaction, the flake sodium amide needs to be broken into smaller particles by stirring; therefore, the stirring device plays a vital role in the entire production process.
[0003] However, existing stirring devices have many problems that urgently need to be solved. In terms of stirring efficiency, most traditional stirring devices use simple impeller designs. This impeller design cannot effectively break up flaky sodium amide, resulting in insufficient dispersion of sodium amide in the reaction system, which in turn leads to a slow reaction rate and seriously affects the production efficiency of 2-isopropyl-2,3-dimethylbutyronitrile.
[0004] Regarding the crushing effect, the blades of existing stirring devices have relatively blunt edges, lacking the ability to efficiently cut flaky raw materials. This makes it difficult to fully crush flaky sodium amide into small particles, resulting in uneven particle size distribution in the reaction system, which in turn affects the uniformity of the reaction and ultimately has an adverse impact on product quality.
[0005] Energy consumption is also a major drawback of existing mixing devices. Due to low mixing efficiency, traditional devices require longer mixing times to achieve a certain mixing and crushing effect, and also require higher energy consumption to maintain the mixing process. This undoubtedly increases production costs and reduces the economic benefits for enterprises.
[0006] In terms of temperature control, some existing stirring devices also have significant shortcomings. For example, in a method for preparing 2,2-diisopropylpropionitrile disclosed in existing patent CN103242194A, the stirring device relies on an external temperature control device in the reaction vessel for temperature regulation. However, this design easily leads to uneven temperature distribution, causing temperature differences in different parts of the reaction system, thereby reducing reaction efficiency.
[0007] Another example is the temperature-controlled stirrer proposed in patent CN202020636328. Although it has a certain temperature control capability, its stirring blades are designed in a traditional flat shape, resulting in limited crushing effect. Moreover, the temperature control unit of this stirrer is separate from the stirring mechanism, making it impossible to achieve precise control of the material temperature, which also affects the reaction process and product quality.
[0008] In summary, existing mixing devices generally suffer from problems such as limited blade shape, insufficient crushing capacity, lack of efficient cutting design for flaky materials, and imprecise temperature control. These issues collectively lead to low reaction efficiency. Therefore, developing a mixing device that can effectively improve mixing efficiency, enhance crushing effect, reduce energy consumption, and achieve precise temperature control is of significant practical importance.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] 1. High-efficiency mixing and crushing: The mixing blades adopt a crescent shape with a sharp sickle-shaped surface. Combined with its specific arc, blade angle, length, width, thickness and other dimensions, as well as its symmetrical distribution and installation angle, and the hardened blades with a high-hardness coating, it can effectively cut and crush flaky sodium amide.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0035] Example 1
[0036] Reference Figure 1-8 A stirring device for the production of 2-isopropyl-2,3-dimethylbutyronitrile includes a stirring tank 1, a lifting platform 2 at the top of the stirring tank 1, a stirring shaft 3 rotatably mounted on the lifting platform 2, and a stirrer 4 detachably mounted at the bottom end of the stirring shaft 3 into the interior of the stirring tank 1.
[0037] The stirrer 4 is equipped with four stirring blades 401. The stirring blades 401 are crescent-shaped and have sharp sickle surfaces. The stirring blades 401 are made of hard alloy substrate. The cross section of the stirring blades 401 is arc-shaped with an arc of 120-150°. The bending direction is consistent with the rotation direction of the stirring shaft 3.
[0038] The sickle-shaped cutting edge angle is 20-30°, and the sickle-shaped design of the stirring blade 401 can effectively cut and crush flaky sodium amino acid.
[0039] The length of the stirring blade 401 is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the inner diameter of the mixing tank 1, the width is 1 / 4 to 1 / 3 of the length, the root thickness is 5-8 mm, and the tip thickness is 2-3 mm, so as to ensure the structural strength and crushing effect of the stirring blade 401 when rotating at high speed.
[0040] The four stirring blades 401 are symmetrically distributed, making the stirring process more uniform;
[0041] The included angle between adjacent stirring blades 401 is 90°. The installation angle between each stirring blade 401 and the stirring shaft 3 is 15-30°.
[0042] Each stirring blade 401 has a single-sided sharpened sickle-shaped edge, with the cutting edge located at the front end of the stirring blade 401 and facing the rotation direction of the stirring shaft 3. The cutting edge of the sickle-shaped edge has been hardened to a hardness of HRC55-60.
[0043] The surface of the stirring blade 401 is covered with a laser-clad tungsten carbide coating with a thickness of 50-100μm and a hardness ≥HRC60.
[0044] The stirring blade 401 has a hot and cold medium flow channel inside, and the stirring shaft 3 has a hot and cold medium flow channel inside. The top end of the stirring shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the rotary joint 5, and the rotary joint 5 is fixed to the top end of the lifting platform 2. The rotary joint 5 has a hot and cold medium inlet and outlet 501. The hot and cold medium is introduced into the stirring shaft 3 through the hot and cold medium inlet and outlet 501, then flows through each stirring blade 401 in sequence, then flows back to the stirring shaft 3, and then flows out from the hot and cold medium inlet and outlet 501.
[0045] Hydraulic cylinder 201 is fixed at the top of mixing tank 1. The output shaft of hydraulic cylinder 201 is fixed to the bottom of lifting platform 2. Guide rod 203 is fixed at the bottom of lifting platform 2. Guide sleeve 202 is fixed at the top of mixing tank 1. The bottom of guide rod 203 extends into guide sleeve 202.
[0046] The lifting platform 2 can be moved up and down by the hydraulic cylinder 201, which in turn can adjust the height of the stirring shaft 3, so that the stirrer 4 can move up and down during the stirring process, increasing the stirring range, reducing the number of dead zones, and improving the stirring efficiency.
[0047] The top of the lifting platform 2 is fixed with a rotary motor 204, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 204 is fixed with a first pulley 205. The outside of the stirring shaft 3 is fixed with a second pulley 301. A synchronous belt is provided between the outer sides of the first pulley 205 and the second pulley 301. The rotary motor 204 can drive the first pulley 205 to rotate, and then drive the second pulley 301 to rotate through the transmission of the synchronous belt, thereby driving the stirring shaft 3 to rotate. Since the rotary motor 204 is fixed on the lifting platform 2, it can follow the lifting and moving, thereby driving the stirring shaft 3 to rotate while lifting and moving. During the stirring process, the height of the stirrer 4 is continuously adjusted, which can effectively improve the stirring and crushing effect.
[0048] The stirrer 4 is inserted into the bottom end of the stirring shaft 3. A first positioning ring 305 is fixed at the bottom end of the stirring shaft 3, and multiple positioning pins 403 are fixed at the top end of the stirrer 4. Positioning holes are opened on the first positioning ring 305 at positions corresponding to the positioning pins 403. When the stirrer 4 is inserted into the bottom end of the stirring shaft 3, the positioning pins 403 are inserted into the positioning holes, which can improve the stability of the fit between the stirrer 4 and the stirring shaft 3, so that the two will not rotate.
[0049] A sealing shell 304 is fixed to the outside of the stirring shaft 3 near its bottom end. A limiting ring 302 is rotatably mounted on the stirring shaft 3 inside the sealing shell 304. The limiting ring 302 has a groove 3021 corresponding to the positioning pin 403, and the positioning pin 403 has a limiting groove 4031 on the side near the limiting ring 302. A gear ring 303 is fixed to the top of the limiting ring 302. An adjusting shaft 3041 is rotatably mounted on the sealing shell 304. A gear 3042 is fixed to the bottom of the adjusting shaft 3041, and the gear 3042 meshes with the gear ring 303. A knob 3043 is fixed to the top of the adjusting shaft 3041 extending to the outside of the sealing shell 304. A spring 3031 connects the gear ring 303 and the inner wall of the sealing shell 304. When the spring 3031 is in a relaxed state, the groove 3021 and the positioning pin 403 are engaged. The positioning pins 403 are precisely staggered. When installing the stirrer 4, first turn the knob 3043 with a tool to drive the gear ring 303 to rotate. Since the gear rings 303 mesh with each other, they can drive the limiting ring 302 to rotate, so that the grooves 3021 on the limiting ring 302 correspond one-to-one with the positioning pins 403. At this time, insert the stirrer 4 to ensure that the positioning pins 403 pass through the grooves 3021 and the limiting ring 302. Then, release the knob 3043. Due to the restoring force of the spring 3031, the limiting ring 302 can be pulled back to its initial state. At this time, the limiting ring 302 is stuck in the limiting groove 4031, which can ensure that the stirring shaft 3 and the stirrer 4 will not move axially and separate, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly installing the stirrer 4. The same principle applies to disassembly, which can easily replace the stirrer 4 and improve the convenience of maintenance and repair of the device.
[0050] The bottom end of the first positioning ring 305 is provided with multiple positioning grooves, and the top end of the stirrer 4 is fixed with multiple positioning protrusions 402. The positioning protrusions 402 are stuck in the positioning grooves, which can further improve the stability of the connection between the stirrer 4 and the stirring shaft 3 and improve the strength against torsion during the stirring process.
