Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber processing, and in particular to a two-way split-flow 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 certain pollution and high costs. Steam flocculation can control costs and achieve green production goals. However, existing latex flocculation devices are generally complex in structure, with high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Moreover, it is difficult to control the temperature and latex flow rate at the feed end during the flocculation process, resulting in poor flocculation effects in subsequent flocculation processes. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned existing problems, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is a two-way split-flow steam flocculation device that can effectively control the temperature and latex flow rate at the beginning of the flocculation process according to actual needs.

[0004] This utility model provides a two-way split-flow steam flocculation device, including a U-shaped receiving shell for introducing latex. The receiving shell has guide plates connected to both sides, a bottom plate fixedly connected to the bottom of each guide plate, and side plates on both sides. The side plates, bottom plate, guide plates, and the receiving shell form a sealed receiving cavity. The top of the receiving shell has a height adjustment mechanism. The device also includes an outer shell located on the outer periphery of the guide plates. The wall surface of the outer shell opposite the guide plates is inclined. A cooling shell is provided outside the outer shell and fixedly connected to its outer wall. A sealed cavity exists between the cooling shell and the outer shell. The bottom of the outer shell is open, and a pipe connected to the bottom of the outer shell for introducing steam is provided.

[0005] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes several L-shaped connectors, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the receiving shell, and the top of which is provided with a first threaded hole. A screw threadedly connected to the first threaded hole is provided therein, and the bottom of the screw abuts against the top of the cooling shell.

[0006] Furthermore, the top of the outer casing is provided with a fixing plate that is fixedly connected thereto. The fixing plate is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes, and the screw passes through the first threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole.

[0007] Furthermore, the top of the receiving shell is provided with a first connecting pipe and a fourth connecting pipe. The first connecting pipe passes through the receiving shell and is used to introduce a cooling medium into the receiving cavity. The fourth connecting pipe is used to discharge the cooling medium.

[0008] Furthermore, the cooling housing is provided with a second connecting pipe and a third connecting pipe. The second connecting pipe is used to introduce a cooling medium into the sealed cavity, and the third connecting pipe is used to discharge the cooling medium from the sealed cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, an input pipe and an output pipe are fixedly connected to the first pipe. Both the input pipe and the output pipe have several through holes on their surfaces. The input pipe is used to introduce steam into the first pipe, and the output pipe is used to discharge steam to the outside.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This utility model discloses a two-way split-flow steam flocculation device. The raw material to be flocculated is introduced into the receiving shell, gradually filling it until it slowly overflows. The raw material to be flocculated slides down the guide plate. Due to the high temperature and upward diffusion characteristics of steam, the temperature at the inlet is often heated to a high level, causing the raw material to flocculate and adhere to the surface of the guide plate before flocculation is required. This results in blockage at the inlet of the device, affecting its normal operation. Therefore, the device is designed to address this issue through the side plate, bottom plate, guide plate, and receiving shell. The shells form a sealed receiving cavity. Cooling medium is introduced into the receiving cavity and simultaneously into the sealed cavity, so that both sides of the guide plate have a cooling function, thereby making the temperature of the feed inlet controllable and avoiding areas where the temperature is prone to runaway. At the same time, by adjusting the height adjustment mechanism, the side plate, bottom plate, guide plate and receiving shell can all rise synchronously, thereby increasing the gap between the guide plate and the outer shell. This allows the raw material flow rate to be controlled by controlling the opening, and thus the flocculation efficiency can be controlled according to actual needs. 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 6This utility model provides a two-way split-flow steam flocculation device, including a U-shaped receiving shell 1 for introducing latex. The receiving shell 1 has guide plates 2 connected to both sides, a bottom plate 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide plates 2, and side plates 4 on both sides of the guide plates 2. A sealed receiving cavity 5 is formed between the side plates 4, the bottom plate 3, the guide plates 2, and the receiving shell 1. A height adjustment mechanism is provided at the top of the receiving shell 1. The device also includes an outer shell 6, which is located at the bottom of the guide plates 1. The outer periphery of the flow plate 2, opposite to the flow guide plate 2, has an inclined wall surface of the outer shell 6. A cooling shell 7 is provided on the outside of the outer shell 6, and the cooling shell 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer shell 6. A sealed cavity 8 exists between the cooling shell 7 and the outer shell 6. The bottom of the outer shell 6 is open, and a pipe 9 connected to it for introducing steam is provided at the bottom of the outer shell 6. The raw material to be flocculated is introduced into the receiving shell 1, gradually filling it until it slowly overflows. The raw material to be flocculated flows along the flow guide plate. 2. As the steam gradually slides down, due to its high temperature and upward diffusion, the temperature of the feed inlet is often heated to a high level. This causes the raw material to flocculate and adhere to the surface of the guide plate 2 before flocculation is required, thus causing blockage at the feed inlet and affecting the normal operation of the device. Therefore, by forming a sealed receiving cavity 5 between the side plate 4, bottom plate 3, guide plate 2 and receiving shell 1, a cooling medium is introduced into the receiving cavity 5 and simultaneously into the sealed cavity 8. This ensures that both sides of the guide plate 2 have a cooling function, thereby making the temperature of the feed inlet controllable and avoiding areas where the temperature is prone to runaway. When the feed inlet temperature is controlled at 35-55°C, the height adjustment mechanism allows the side plate 4, bottom plate 3, guide plate 2 and receiving shell 1 to rise synchronously, thereby increasing the gap between the guide plate 2 and the outer shell 6. This allows the raw material flow rate to be controlled by adjusting the opening, and the flocculation efficiency to be controlled according to actual needs.

[0022] Specifically, the height adjustment mechanism includes several L-shaped connectors 10. The bottom of each connector 10 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the top of each connector 10 is provided with a first threaded hole 11. A screw 12 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 11. The bottom of the screw 12 abuts against the top of the cooling housing 7. Through the cooperation between the connector 10, the first threaded hole 11, and the screw 12, when the screw 12 is turned, the connector 10 moves up and down under the cooperation between the first threaded hole 11 and the screw 12. This allows for the synchronous rise or fall of the side plate 4, the bottom plate 3, the guide plate 2, and the housing 1, thereby controlling the opening and adjusting the raw material flow rate. This allows for the control of flocculation efficiency according to actual needs. Moreover, the structure of the height adjustment mechanism is very simple, and it is also relatively convenient to adjust.

[0023] Specifically, the top of the outer casing 6 is provided with a fixing plate 13 fixedly connected thereto. The fixing plate 13 is provided with a plurality of second threaded holes 14. The screw 12 passes through the first threaded hole 11 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 14. Through the cooperation of the fixing plate 13 and the second threaded hole 14, the horizontal movement of the screw 12 can be controlled by the second threaded hole 14 on the fixing plate 13. Since the outer casing 6 can always remain stable during operation, the screw 12 will not cause the side plate 4, bottom plate 3, guide plate 2 and housing 1 to shake in the horizontal direction. Therefore, it can be ensured that the gaps between different guide plates 2 and the outer casing 6 can be kept consistent, and there will be no blockage of one of them, thus ensuring the reliability of the device during use.

[0024] Specifically, the top of the housing 1 is provided with a first connecting pipe 15 and a fourth connecting pipe 21. The first connecting pipe 15 passes through the housing 1 and is used to introduce a cooling medium into the housing cavity 5. The fourth connecting pipe 21 is used to discharge the cooling medium. Through the function of the first connecting pipe 15, a cooling medium can be introduced into the housing cavity 5, thereby cooling the inlet of the raw material. When it is not needed, the cooling medium can be discharged through the fourth connecting pipe 21.

[0025] Specifically, the cooling housing 7 is provided with a second connecting pipe 16 and a third connecting pipe 17. The second connecting pipe 16 is used to introduce a cooling medium into the sealed cavity 8, and the third connecting pipe 17 is used to discharge the cooling medium in the sealed cavity 8. Through the function of the second connecting pipe 16 and the third connecting pipe 17, the cooling medium can be introduced according to actual needs, thereby cooling the inlet of the raw material. When it is not needed, the cooling medium can be discharged.

[0026] Specifically, an input pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the first pipe 9, and an output pipe 19 is fixedly connected to the first pipe 9. Both the input pipe 18 and the output pipe 19 have several through holes 20 on their surfaces. The input pipe 18 is used to introduce steam into the first pipe 9, and the output pipe 19 is used to discharge steam to the outside. Steam at a temperature of 80 to 100°C can be continuously introduced into the first pipe 9, thereby enabling the flocculation of raw materials. At the same time, steam can be discharged through the output pipe 19.

[0027] 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.
