Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tubular separator technology, specifically a tubular separator. Background Technology

[0002] A tubular centrifuge is a high-speed centrifugal separator with a tubular drum. Its drum has a small diameter, a large length, and a high rotational speed. It is used to process components in low-concentration suspensions and emulsions that are difficult to separate. The drum of the tubular centrifuge is suspended and supported by a slender shaft, driven from the top. A vibration damping device is located at the bottom of the drum to reduce vibration during start-up and shutdown. During operation, the emulsion is added from the bottom of the drum and rotates at the same speed as the drum, driven by longitudinal ribs within the drum. Under centrifugal force, the emulsion separates into two layers: a heavier layer near the drum wall and a lighter layer near the center of the drum. The heavy and light liquids flow along the length of the drum and are discharged separately from the overflow port at the top of the drum. Tubular centrifuges are commonly used for the separation of oil and water, bacteria, and proteins, as well as the clarification of essential oils.

[0003] After prolonged use, existing tubular separators require cleaning of their internal drums. However, the drums of typical tubular separators are not easy to disassemble, making drum cleaning inconvenient. Therefore, we have proposed a new type of tubular separator. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tubular separator to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that after long-term use, the internal drum of the existing tubular separator needs to be cleaned, but the drum of the general tubular separator is not easy to disassemble and assemble, making the cleaning of the drum inconvenient.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tubular separator, comprising a base and a separation cylinder, wherein the separation cylinder is located on the top right side of the base, a support column is fixedly connected to the top left side of the base, a top plate is fixedly connected to the top end of the support column, a main shaft is rotatably connected to the top right side of the inner cavity of the top plate, a first pulley is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer side wall of the main shaft, the end of the main shaft passes through the top plate and extends to the bottom right side of the top plate, and a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the end of the main shaft, a positioning block is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve, and a locking bolt is screwed onto the outer side wall of the connecting sleeve.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] A drive motor is fixedly connected to the upper side of the left side wall of the support column. The end of the power output shaft of the drive motor passes through the top plate and extends into the inner cavity of the top plate. A second pulley is fixedly connected to the end of the power output shaft of the drive motor. The second pulley is rotatably connected to the first pulley through a belt.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] A rotating drum is rotatably connected to the top center of the inner cavity of the separating cylinder. The top of the rotating drum penetrates the separating cylinder and extends into the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve. A positioning groove is provided at the top of the rotating drum.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The inner cavity of the drum has heavy liquid discharge grooves on the left and right sides of the top, and light liquid discharge grooves in the middle of the top of the inner cavity of the drum.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] An installation plate is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the drum, and three blades are rotatably connected to the bottom of the installation plate.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A heavy liquid collector is fixedly connected to the top of the separation cylinder. A heavy liquid outlet is provided on the right side of the outer wall of the heavy liquid collector. A light liquid collector is fixedly connected to the top of the heavy liquid collector. A light liquid outlet is provided on the right side of the outer wall of the light liquid collector.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] An electric actuator is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the separation cylinder. An arc-shaped clamp is fixedly connected to the end of the electric actuator. Ball bearings are embedded in the inner wall of the arc-shaped clamp and are evenly distributed. An inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the separation cylinder.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This tubular separator, by retracting the electric actuator, causes the arc-shaped clamping plate to move to both sides, thereby loosening the lower end of the drum. Then, by unscrewing the locking bolt from the connecting sleeve, the upper end of the drum is unlocked, and the drum can be pulled down to remove it. Conversely, when installing the drum, the top of the drum is inserted into the connecting sleeve, and the positioning groove is aligned with the positioning block to complete the positioning of the drum. Then, by tightening the locking bolt, the drum is locked, and the installation of the drum is initially completed. Then, by extending the electric actuator, the electric actuator causes the arc-shaped clamping plate to close in the middle, so that the arc-shaped clamping plate clamps the lower end of the drum, thus completely completing the installation of the drum. This makes the drum of the device easy to disassemble and assemble, and improves the convenience of cleaning the drum.

[0020] 2. This tubular separator uses an electric actuator to move an arc-shaped clamping plate, which clamps the lower end of the drum. This allows the arc-shaped clamping plate to limit the drum's rotation at high speed, preventing the lower end from swaying. Additionally, the inclusion of ball bearings reduces friction between the arc-shaped clamping plate and the drum, thus preventing the clamping plate from affecting the drum's rotation speed. This results in more stable drum rotation and improved separation efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0030] This utility model provides a tubular separator that facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the drum, improves the ease of cleaning the drum, and makes the drum rotation more stable, thereby improving the separation effect. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1-5 It includes a base 100 and a separation cylinder 200;

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5A support column 110 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the base 100. A top plate 120 is fixedly connected to the top of the support column 110. A main shaft 130 is rotatably connected to the top right side of the inner cavity of the top plate 120. A first pulley 140 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the main shaft 130. The end of the main shaft 130 passes through the top plate 120 and extends to the bottom right side of the top plate 120. A connecting sleeve 150 is fixedly connected to the end of the main shaft 130. A positioning block 160 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 150. A locking bolt 170 is screwed onto the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 150. A drive motor 180 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the left side wall of the support column 110. The end of the power output shaft of the drive motor 180 passes through the top plate 120 and extends into the inner cavity of the top plate 120. A second pulley 190 is fixedly connected to the end of the power output shaft of the drive motor 180. The second pulley 190 is connected to the first pulley 140 via a belt. By rotating the connection and retracting the electric actuator 270, the electric actuator 270 moves the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 to both sides, thereby loosening the lower end of the drum 210. Then, by unscrewing the locking bolt 170 from the connecting sleeve 150, the upper end of the drum 210 is unlocked. Finally, the drum 210 is pulled downwards to remove it. Conversely, when installing the drum 210, the top end of the drum 210 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 150. Align the positioning groove 220 with the positioning block 160 to complete the positioning of the drum 210. Then, tighten the locking bolt 170 to lock the drum 210, thus completing the initial installation of the drum 210. Then, extend the electric push rod 270 to drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 to close in the middle, so that the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 clamps the lower end of the drum 210, thus completely completing the installation of the drum 210.

[0032] In summary, this makes the drum 210 of the device easy to disassemble and assemble, and improves the ease of cleaning the drum 210.

[0033] Please refer to it again. Figure 1-5The separator 200 is located on the top right side of the base 100. Specifically, the separator 200 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the support column 110. A drum 210 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top of the inner cavity of the separator 200. The top of the drum 210 passes through the separator 200 and extends into the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 150. A positioning groove 220 is provided at the top of the drum 210. Heavy liquid discharge grooves 211 are provided on the left and right sides of the top of the inner cavity of the drum 210. A light liquid discharge groove 212 is provided at the middle of the top of the inner cavity of the drum 210. An installation plate 230 is fixedly connected to the lower side between the inner side walls of the drum 210. Three paddle blades 240 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the installation plate 230. A heavy liquid collector 250 is fixedly connected to the top of the separator 200. A heavy liquid outlet 251 is provided on the right side of the outer side wall of the heavy liquid collector 250. A light liquid collector is fixedly connected to the top of the heavy liquid collector 250. The light liquid collector 260 has a light liquid outlet 261 on the right side of its outer wall. An electric push rod 270 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the separation cylinder 200. An arc-shaped clamping plate 280 is fixedly connected to the end of the electric push rod 270. The inner wall of the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 is inlaid with ball bearings 281, which are evenly distributed. An inlet pipe 290 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the separation cylinder 200. The electric push rod 270 drives the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 to move, so that the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 clamps the lower end of the drum 210. When the drum 210 rotates at high speed, the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 limits the rotation of the drum 210, preventing the lower end of the drum 210 from swinging when rotating at high speed. At the same time, the ball bearings 281 reduce the friction between the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 and the drum 210, thereby preventing the arc-shaped clamping plate 280 from affecting the rotation speed of the drum 210.

[0034] In summary, this makes the rotation of the drum 210 of the device more stable and improves the separation effect of the drum 210.

[0035] In practical use, those skilled in the art first start the drive motor 180, causing the second pulley 190 to drive the first pulley 140 to rotate via the belt. This, in turn, causes the main shaft 130 to drive the drum 210 to rotate. Then, the liquid to be separated is input into the drum 210 through the inlet pipe 290. At this time, the liquid to be separated rotates and rises at the same speed as the drum 210 under the action of the three blades 240. Subsequently, the separated heavy liquid enters the heavy liquid collector 250 through the heavy liquid discharge tank 211, while the light liquid enters the light liquid collector 260 through the light liquid discharge tank 212. Afterward, the light and heavy liquids are discharged from the light liquid outlet 261 and the heavy liquid outlet 251, respectively. Finally, when the drum 210 needs to be removed for cleaning, the electric actuator 270 is retracted, causing the electric actuator 270 to drive... The arc-shaped clamp 280 moves to both sides, thereby loosening the lower end of the drum 210. Then, by unscrewing the locking bolt 170 from the connecting sleeve 150, the upper end of the drum 210 is unlocked. Then, the drum 210 is pulled down to remove it. Conversely, when installing the drum 210, the top of the drum 210 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 150, and the positioning groove 220 is aligned with the positioning block 160 to complete the positioning of the drum 210. Then, by tightening the locking bolt 170, the upper end of the drum 210 is locked. Then, by extending the electric push rod 270, the electric push rod 270 drives the arc-shaped clamp 280 to close in the middle, so that the arc-shaped clamp 280 clamps the lower end of the drum 210, thus completely completing the installation of the drum 210.
