Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of separation device technology, specifically to a sorbitol separation tank. Background Technology

[0002] Sorbitol was originally extracted from the fruit of the sorbitol tree, hence its name. Sorbitol is common in some parts of Europe and Asia, and its fruit contains a certain amount of sorbitol. With the development of the chemical industry, people gradually explored industrial production methods for sorbitol. In the early days, glucose was mainly used as a raw material to produce sorbitol through catalytic hydrogenation. This method was widely used in the early 20th century, which greatly increased the yield of sorbitol, thus meeting the needs of more fields. Sorbitol is mainly used in the food and pharmaceutical fields. In the food industry, it is used as a sweetener, humectant, and stabilizer, and it has gradually been involved in multiple industries such as cosmetics, tobacco, and plastics.

[0003] In the existing technology, catalysts are usually used in the chemical synthesis of sorbitol. After the reaction is completed, the catalyst needs to be separated from the reaction products. Separation tanks can use the principles of filtration and sedimentation to separate catalyst particles from the sorbitol reaction solution so that the catalyst can be recycled and reused. At the same time, it is possible to avoid catalyst impurities affecting the quality of sorbitol. During use, after the sorbitol separation tank is completed, a large amount of sorbitol residue and impurities will be attached to the inside, which will reduce the life of the separation tank. Moreover, the filter structure inside the separation tank is usually troublesome to disassemble and clean, which can easily put a burden on the filter device over a long period of time.

[0004] Therefore, a sorbitol separator was proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sorbitol separator that solves the technical problems of a large amount of sorbitol residue and impurities adhering to the inside of the separator after separation, which reduces the life of the separator and makes the internal filter structure of the separator difficult to disassemble and clean, and which can easily cause a burden on the filter device over a long period of time. This invention achieves the purpose of mixing, cleaning and separation disassembly.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a sorbitol separator, comprising a separator, a transparent window provided on the outer wall of the separator, a discharge pipe connected to the bottom of the separator, a mixing and cleaning assembly provided inside the separator, and a separation and disassembly assembly provided at the bottom of the discharge pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the mixing and cleaning assembly specifically includes: a side plate, circumferentially and equidistantly fixedly installed on the outer wall of the separator; a bracket, fixedly installed on the bottom of the side plate; a feed pipe, connected and installed on the top of the separator; a motor, fixedly installed on the top of the separator; a concave plate, fixedly installed on the outer wall of the discharge pipe; a discharge plate, disposed between the inner walls of the discharge pipe; an electric telescopic rod, fixedly installed on the top of the separator; and a water bucket, fixedly installed on the top of the separator.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor, and the other end of the rotating shaft extends through the top of the separation tank and into the interior of the separation tank. A rotating rod is fixedly installed at the other end of the rotating shaft, and mixing plates are fixedly installed at equal intervals around the outer circumference of the rotating rod.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the rotating rod is circumferentially fixedly connected with connecting rods, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected with a scraper. The surface of the scraper is in contact with the inner wall of the separation tank, and a motor is fixedly installed on the other side of the concave plate.

[0010] Preferably, the output end of the second motor is fixedly mounted with a second rotating shaft, and the other end of the second rotating shaft movably passes through the other side of the concave plate and the outer wall of the discharge pipe and extends into the interior of the discharge pipe and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge plate. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod movably passes through the top of the separation tank and extends into the interior of the separation tank.

[0011] Preferably, a water-collecting ring is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod. The inner and outer walls of the water-collecting ring have spray nozzles. A corrugated pipe is connected to the top of the water tank. The other end of the corrugated pipe connects to the top of the separation tank and extends into the tank, connecting with the top of the water-collecting ring. A transparent window is provided on the outer wall of the separation tank, allowing operators to observe the sorbitol solution inside the tank in real time. The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the rotating rod and mixing plate to rotate, thus stirring and mixing the sorbitol solution inside the tank. This helps to distribute the components in the solution more evenly, preventing local concentrations from being too high or too low, and improving the separation effect. The rotating rod drives the connecting rod and scraper to rotate. The motor contacts the inner wall of the separator, promptly cleaning any sorbitol solution or impurities adhering to the tank wall to prevent accumulation and maintain separation efficiency. The second motor drives the discharge plate to rotate, controlling the opening and closing of the discharge pipe to precisely control the discharge volume of sorbitol solution. An electric telescopic rod moves the water storage ring up and down within the separator. The water storage ring has spray nozzles, and a water tank is connected to it via a corrugated pipe. When cleaning the inside of the separator is required, water can be sprayed into the tank through the water storage ring to rinse the tank wall, mixing plate, and scraper components, effectively removing adhering impurities and residual sorbitol solution, maintaining internal cleanliness, extending equipment lifespan, and achieving a mixing and cleaning effect.

[0012] Preferably, the separation and disassembly assembly specifically includes: a separation box, which is connected and installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe; a cabinet door, which is movably installed on the front of the separation box; grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the separation box, and sliders are slidably connected to the inner walls of the grooves; a collection box is fixedly installed between the inner sides of the sliders; T-shaped grooves are provided evenly at equal intervals on both sides of the inner wall of the separation box; sliding rods are fixedly installed evenly at equal intervals on the inner wall surface of the separation box; and locking blocks are slidably connected to the inner walls of the T-shaped grooves.

[0013] Preferably, a filter inclined plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod. One side of the filter inclined plate is in contact with one side of the inner wall of the separation box, and the other side of the filter inclined plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the locking block. Baffles are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the filter inclined plate, which is connected to the bottom of the discharge pipe through the separation box. The cabinet door is movably installed on the front of the separation box, which is convenient for operators to open the separation box for maintenance, cleaning and removal of the collected sorbitol solution. The collection box can be used to collect the sorbitol solution that precipitates during the separation process. The locking block in the T-shaped groove is connected to the filter inclined plate. The filter inclined plate can slide on the slide rod. The filter inclined plate can further filter the solution discharged from the discharge pipe, separate impurities of different particle sizes and improve the purity of sorbitol. The baffles can prevent the solution from overflowing from both sides of the filter inclined plate, ensuring that the solution can only be filtered through the filter inclined plate, improving the filtration effect, thereby achieving the effect of separation and disassembly.

[0014] This invention provides a sorbitol separation tank. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) This utility model can perform mixing and cleaning by setting up a mixing and cleaning component. Sorbitol solution and catalyst enter from the feed pipe. Start motor one drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the mixing plate slowly stirs to disperse impurities in the solution evenly and improve separation efficiency. Start motor two drives the discharge plate to rotate, which can make the material drop. When cleaning, start the pump in the water tank, and water enters the water storage ring through the corrugated pipe and is sprayed for cleaning through the spray nozzle. Start the electric telescopic rod to drive the water storage ring to rise and fall for rinsing, keep the inside of the equipment clean, extend the service life of the equipment, and improve the separation effect, thereby achieving the effect of mixing and cleaning.

[0016] (2) This utility model can separate sorbitol solution and impurities by setting a separation and disassembly component. The sorbitol solution and impurities are separated by five layers of filter inclined plates. From top to bottom, the pore size of each layer of filter inclined plates gradually decreases, which can perform multiple graded separation according to the particle size of different components. The separated sorbitol solution enters the collection box for collection, which improves the separation effect and facilitates the cleaning of the filter inclined plates, thereby achieving the separation effect.

Example 1

[0025] Based on the existing sorbitol separators, after separation, a large amount of sorbitol residue and impurities adhere to the interior, reducing the separator's lifespan. Furthermore, the internal filter structure is typically difficult to disassemble and clean, which can easily overload the filter over time. Therefore, this invention provides a preferred embodiment of a sorbitol separator, for example... Figure 1-5As shown: A sorbitol separation tank includes a separation tank 1, a transparent window 2 provided on the outer wall of the separation tank 1, a discharge pipe 3 connected to the bottom of the separation tank 1, a mixing and cleaning component 4 provided inside the separation tank 1, and a separation and disassembly component 5 provided at the bottom of the discharge pipe 3.

The surface of the scraper 418 is in contact with the inner wall of the separation tank 1. A motor 4111 is fixedly installed on the other side of the concave plate 419.

[0029] The output end of motor 4111 is fixedly installed with a rotating shaft 2. The other end of the rotating shaft 2 passes through the other side of the concave plate 419 and the outer wall of the discharge pipe 3 and extends into the interior of the discharge pipe 3 and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge plate 4112. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 4113 passes through the top of the separation tank 1 and extends into the interior of the separation tank 1.

[0031] In this example, mixing and cleaning can be performed by setting up a mixing and cleaning component 4. Sorbitol solution and catalyst enter from feed pipe 413. Start motor 1 414 drives rotating rod 415 to rotate, and mixing plate 416 slowly stirs to evenly disperse impurities in the solution and improve separation efficiency. Start motor 2 4111 drives unloading plate 4112 to rotate, which can lower the material. During cleaning, the pump in water tank 4115 is started, and water enters water storage ring 4114 through corrugated pipe 4116 and is sprayed for cleaning through spray nozzle. Start electric telescopic rod 4113 to drive water storage ring 4114 to rise and fall for rinsing, thereby achieving the effect of mixing and cleaning. Example 2

[0032] Based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the sorbitol separator provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown: The separation and disassembly assembly 5 specifically includes: a separation box 511, which is connected to the bottom of the discharge pipe 3; a cabinet door 512, which is movably installed on the front of the separation box 511; grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the separation box 511, and sliders 513 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the grooves. A collection box 514 is fixedly installed between the inner sides of the sliders 513. T-shaped grooves 515 are provided evenly at equal intervals on both sides of the inner wall of the separation box 511. Sliding rods 516 are fixedly installed evenly at equal intervals on the inner wall surface of the separation box 511. A locking block 517 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped groove 515.

[0033] A filter inclined plate 518 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 516. One side of the filter inclined plate 518 is in contact with one side of the inner wall of the separation box 511, and the other side of the filter inclined plate 518 is fixedly connected to the surface of the locking block 517. Baffles 519 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the filter inclined plate 518.

[0034] In this example, the sorbitol solution and impurities can be separated by setting up the separation and disassembly component 5. The sorbitol solution and impurities are separated by five layers of filter inclined plates 518. From top to bottom, the pore size of each layer of filter inclined plates 518 gradually decreases, which can perform multiple graded separation according to the particle size of different components. The separated sorbitol solution enters the collection box 514 for collection, thereby achieving the separation effect.

[0035] Working Principle: First, the transparent window 2 allows observation of the mixing state. When mixing the sorbitol solution and catalyst is required, it can improve the subsequent separation efficiency. The sorbitol solution and catalyst enter through the feed pipe 413. The motor 414 is started, driving the rotating rod 415 to rotate. The mixing plate 416 slowly stirs the mixture, making the impurities in the solution evenly dispersed and improving the separation efficiency. At the same time, the connecting rod 417 and scraper 418 are driven to scrape and clean the inner wall of the separation tank 1 to prevent material adhesion. Then, the motor 4111 is started, driving the discharge plate 4112 to rotate, which allows the material to descend. The material enters the separation box 511 through the discharge pipe 3. The sorbitol solution and impurities are separated through five layers of filter inclined plates 518. From top to bottom, the pore size of each layer of filter inclined plates 518 gradually decreases, which can perform multiple classification separations according to the particle size of different components. The uppermost filter has a larger pore size to intercept large particles of impurities, and the lowermost filter has the smallest pore size to remove small particles and colloids. The filter plate 518 separates the catalyst particles from the sorbitol reaction solution. The separated sorbitol solution enters the collection box 514 for collection. The baffle 519 protects both sides of the filter plate 518. Opening the cabinet door 512 allows the collection box 514 and the slider 513 to slide out of the separation box 511. When cleaning the filter plate 518 is required, slide the filter plate 518 outwards, and the locking block 517 slides out of the T-shaped groove 515. 518 slides out from the slide bar 516 and then cleans the filter inclined plate 518. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the separation tank 1, the pump in the water tank 4115 is started, and water enters the water storage ring 4114 through the corrugated pipe 4116 and is sprayed for cleaning through the spray nozzle. The electric telescopic rod 4113 can drive the water storage ring 4114 to rise and fall for rinsing. The wastewater falls into the separation box 511 through the discharge pipe 3 and is then collected, thereby achieving the functions of mixing, cleaning and separation.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
