Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of montmorillonite production, and in particular to a suspension conveying device for montmorillonite production. Background Technology
[0002] Montmorillonite suspension is a commonly used antidiarrheal medication. Its main component is montmorillonite powder (a natural mineral belonging to aluminosilicates), which has the functions of adsorbing, protecting and repairing the digestive tract mucosa.
[0003] In the production of montmorillonite, it is often necessary to transport the montmorillonite suspension. During the transportation process, precipitation is prone to occur in the montmorillonite suspension, especially during long-distance transportation. Precipitation of montmorillonite not only affects the efficacy of the drug, but also easily causes pipeline blockage, increases the frequency of pipeline maintenance, reduces production efficiency, and increases production costs.
[0004] Therefore, a technical solution is needed to address the problem that montmorillonite suspension is prone to precipitation during transportation, which not only affects drug efficacy but also easily causes pipeline blockage. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the technical problem that precipitation easily occurs during the transportation of montmorillonite suspension, which not only affects the efficacy of the drug but also easily causes pipeline blockage. This invention provides a suspension transportation device for montmorillonite production.
[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a suspension conveying device for montmorillonite production, comprising a conveying pipe, wherein a plurality of processing units are provided on the conveying pipe, and each processing unit includes a booster pump and a stirring mechanism, wherein the booster pump and the stirring mechanism are connected in series through the conveying pipe.
[0007] This utility model discloses a suspension conveying device for montmorillonite production. In use, the montmorillonite suspension is transported through a conveying pipe. Since several processing units are set on the conveying pipe, the suspension is stirred by a stirring mechanism in each processing unit, and a booster pump provides power to the montmorillonite suspension to compensate for the power loss of the suspension during stirring, ensuring the conveying speed of the suspension, making the montmorillonite suspension less prone to precipitation, ensuring the efficacy of the montmorillonite suspension, and reducing the occurrence of pipeline blockage.
[0008] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a cylinder, with an inlet pipe at the bottom and an outlet pipe at the top, and a stirring shaft inside the cylinder with a plurality of stirring paddles on the stirring shaft.
[0009] The motor at the top of the cylinder drives the stirring shaft to rotate, thereby driving the stirring paddle to stir the suspension entering the cylinder, making the montmorillonite more evenly mixed and reducing the precipitation during transportation. In addition, the liquid inlet pipe is located at the bottom of the cylinder, and the suspension moves from bottom to top, making it easier for the montmorillonite to be stirred evenly.
[0010] Preferably, a first cross line is provided between the booster pump and the stirring mechanism, and a first heat exchanger is provided on the first cross line. The first heat exchanger can be circulated with cold water for cooling the montmorillonite suspension.
[0011] If the temperature is too high during the transport of the suspension, it will lead to faster water evaporation and changes in composition. Therefore, a first heat exchanger is added to the transport pipe. When the temperature of the suspension is too high (above 30°C) due to environmental and process conditions, the first heat exchanger will cool the suspension, thereby reducing water evaporation and changes in the composition of the suspension during transport.
[0012] Preferably, a second cross line is provided between the booster pump and the stirring mechanism, and a second heat exchanger is provided on the second cross line. The second heat exchanger can be circulated with hot water for heating the montmorillonite suspension.
[0013] If the temperature is too low during the transport of the suspension, it is easy to damage the suspension structure and make redispersion difficult. Therefore, a second heat exchanger is added to the transport pipe. When the temperature of the suspension is too low (below 5°C) due to environmental and process conditions, the second heat exchanger will raise the temperature of the suspension to reduce the damage of low temperature to the suspension structure.
[0014] Preferably, a four-way valve is provided between the booster pump and the stirring mechanism, and the first cross line and the second cross line are respectively connected to the four-way valve.
[0015] By adding a four-way valve to the delivery pipe, the flow direction of the suspension can be controlled according to the temperature of the suspension. If the temperature is too high (above 30°C), the four-way valve is controlled to guide the suspension to the first cross-line. If the temperature is too low (below 5°C), the four-way valve is controlled to guide the suspension to the second cross-line. If the temperature is normal, the suspension is directly introduced into the stirring mechanism through the delivery pipe.
[0016] Preferably, the processing unit further includes a temperature sensor and a controller, the temperature sensor being disposed between the booster pump and the four-way valve, and the four-way valve and the temperature sensor being electrically connected to the controller.
[0017] The temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the suspension in real time. When the temperature of the suspension exceeds 30°C or falls below 5°C, the temperature sensor transmits a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the four-way valve to open the first or second cross-line, thereby achieving automatic temperature control during the suspension transport process.
[0018] Preferably, several processing units are evenly arranged along the length of the conveying pipe.
[0019] This ensures that the suspension is effectively stirred throughout the entire transportation process, preventing excessive sedimentation in localized areas of the delivery pipe.
[0020] Preferably, the distance between two adjacent processing units is d, where 20m ≤ d ≤ 30m.
[0021] Setting the spacing between processing units to more than 20m can not only avoid excessive stirring of the suspension, but also reduce the investment in processing unit equipment and control production costs. Setting the spacing between processing units to less than 30m can reduce the formation of sediment during the transport of the suspension.

For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to common connection methods in the art, such as welding, riveting, bolting, and threaded connections.

Example 1
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a suspension conveying device for montmorillonite production includes a conveying pipe 1, on which a plurality of processing units 2 are provided. Each processing unit 2 includes a booster pump 21 and a stirring mechanism 22, which are connected in series through the conveying pipe 1.
[0036] In use, the montmorillonite suspension is transported through the delivery pipe 1. Since several processing units 2 are set on the delivery pipe 1, the suspension is stirred by the stirring mechanism 22 in each processing unit 2, and the booster pump 21 provides power to the montmorillonite suspension to compensate for the power lost by the suspension during the stirring process, ensuring the delivery speed of the suspension, making it less likely for the montmorillonite suspension to precipitate, ensuring the efficacy of the montmorillonite suspension, and reducing the occurrence of pipeline blockage.
[0037] Processing Unit 2: Several processing units 2 are evenly arranged along the length of the conveying pipe 1. The distance between two adjacent processing units 2 is d. Setting the distance between processing units 2 to more than 20m can not only avoid excessive stirring of the suspension, but also reduce the investment in processing unit 2 equipment and control production costs. Setting the distance between processing units 2 to less than 30m can reduce the precipitation during the transport of the suspension.
[0038] The stirring mechanism 22 includes a cylinder 221, with an inlet pipe 2211 at the bottom and an outlet pipe 2212 at the top. A stirring shaft 222 is located inside the cylinder 221, and several stirring paddles 223 are mounted on the stirring shaft 222. A motor 224 at the top of the cylinder 221 drives the stirring shaft 222 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring paddles 223 to stir the suspension entering the cylinder 221, making the montmorillonite more uniformly mixed and reducing sedimentation during transport. Furthermore, the inlet pipe 2211 is located at the bottom of the cylinder 221, allowing the suspension to move from bottom to top, making it easier to stir the montmorillonite evenly. Example 2
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the difference from embodiment 1 is that a first cross line 23 is provided between the booster pump 21 and the stirring mechanism 22, and a first heat exchanger 231 is provided on the first cross line 23. The first heat exchanger 231 can be circulated with cold water for cooling the montmorillonite suspension.
[0040] If the temperature is too high during the transport of the suspension, it will lead to faster evaporation of water and changes in composition. In this embodiment, a first heat exchanger 231 is added to the transport pipe 1. When the temperature of the suspension is too high (above 30°C) due to environmental and process conditions, the first heat exchanger 231 will cool the suspension, thereby reducing the evaporation of water and changes in the composition of the suspension during transport.
[0041] Furthermore, a second cross line 24 is provided between the booster pump 21 and the stirring mechanism 22. A second heat exchanger 241 is provided on the second cross line 24. The second heat exchanger 241 can be circulated with hot water to raise the temperature of the montmorillonite suspension. If the temperature of the suspension is too low during the transport process, it is easy to damage the suspension structure, resulting in difficulty in redispersing. Therefore, a second heat exchanger 241 is added to the transport pipe 1. When the temperature of the suspension is too low (below 5°C) under the influence of the environment and process, the second heat exchanger 241 is used to raise the temperature of the suspension to reduce the damage of low temperature to the suspension structure.
[0042] Furthermore, a four-way valve 25 is provided between the booster pump 21 and the stirring mechanism 22. The first cross line 23 and the second cross line 24 are respectively connected to the four-way valve 25, which facilitates the control of the flow direction of the suspension according to the temperature of the suspension. If the temperature is too high (above 30°C), the four-way valve 25 is controlled to guide the suspension to the first cross line 23. If the temperature is too low (below 5°C), the four-way valve 25 is controlled to guide the suspension to the second cross line 24. If the temperature is normal, the suspension is directly introduced into the stirring mechanism 22 through the delivery pipe 1. Example 3
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the difference from embodiment 2 is that the processing unit 2 further includes a temperature sensor 26 and a controller 27 (model S7-1200). The temperature sensor 26 is disposed between the booster pump 21 and the four-way valve 25, and the four-way valve 25 and the temperature sensor 26 are electrically connected to the controller 27 respectively.
[0044] In this embodiment, the temperature of the suspension can be monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 26. When the temperature of the suspension exceeds 30°C or is lower than 5°C, the temperature sensor 26 transmits a signal to the controller 27. The controller 27 controls the four-way valve 25 to open the first cross line 23 or the second cross line 24, thereby realizing automatic temperature control during the suspension transportation process.
[0045] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
