Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical production equipment, and relates to a stirring device and a reaction device with a stirring device and a filtration mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Agitators are a widely used type of mechanical equipment, mainly used to agitate materials. To ensure thorough mixing, patent CN213557030U installs multiple sets of agitator blades on the agitator inside the reactor, promoting full and uniform fusion of materials, accelerating the reaction rate, and increasing production speed.
[0003] Patent CN211706062U discloses a catalyst filter for the hydrogenation refining process of caprolactam. This invention uses a barrel-shaped filter screen for separation, with the catalyst accumulating in the screen and able to be poured out through the round holes for easy collection and recovery. The drawback of this device is that it collects the catalyst in the filter barrel for disassembly and reuse, rather than retaining the catalyst within the reaction vessel for direct reuse, making the operation relatively cumbersome. Furthermore, the filter screen needs to be cleaned by rotating a brush during the reaction process.
[0004] Patent CN216727218U describes a stirring device with a filtration mechanism for the preparation of sodium gluconate. By incorporating a rotatable filtration channel, it filters particulate matter from the material or solution during stirring. The particulate matter is trapped in the filtration channel, while the material is ejected into a container, preventing particulate impurities from affecting the stirring quality. While this device can separate impurities from the material through its filtration pipes, and filtration and stirring occur simultaneously, the presence of impurities in the filtration pipes necessitates disassembly and cleaning, making the process cumbersome.
[0005] Existing stirring devices can thoroughly stir and mix reactants, but inventions of devices that combine stirring and filtration functions are relatively rare. How to efficiently separate the catalyst and reaction liquid within the reaction vessel, allowing the catalyst to be retained and recycled within the vessel, remains an urgent problem to be solved.

A cylindrical filter screen filters catalyst particles, trapping the catalyst in the container. The product passes through the filter screen and then exits through the through-holes on the stirring rod into the hollow channel, resulting in high separation efficiency. Furthermore, during operation, the stirring device of this invention utilizes the force of the impeller blades to cause the liquid to make tangential contact with the surface of the filtration mechanism during rotation. This continuously washes away solid particles deposited on the surface, achieving a self-cleaning function and eliminating the need for an additional backflushing system. The reaction can run continuously for extended periods, maintaining high and constant filtration efficiency. The filter screen remains unclogged even after prolonged operation, requiring no cleaning.
