Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical production equipment technology, specifically to an impurity separation device for the production of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, common impurities include unreacted cellulose, excess sodium monochloroacetate, salt, unreacted alkali (NaOH), by-product alcohols, and other organic matter. These impurities can seriously affect the purity, viscosity, and quality of the product.

[0003] First, without multi-stage filtration, impurities directly enter the ultrafiltration membrane, easily causing membrane fouling, clogging, or even rupture, thus requiring frequent cleaning / replacement of the membrane module, significantly increasing maintenance costs.

[0004] Secondly, if the primary filter has a complex structure and is not disassembled, cleaning will take a long time and may cause residual cross-contamination, affecting product purity.

[0005] Finally, without heating and stirring functions, the solution is prone to sedimentation, gelling, and pipe blockage during filtration or transportation. Stagnant areas will create dead material zones, leading to quality fluctuations. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5An impurity separation device for the production of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose includes a main body 1, a primary filtration mechanism, a disassembly mechanism, and an auxiliary mechanism. The primary filtration mechanism includes a feed box 2 and a primary filter element 3. The feed box 2 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1. The primary filter element 3 is installed on the main body 1 and is connected to the feed box 2. A locking block 4 and a first spring 5 are installed on the main body 1. The locking block 4 is slidably connected to the main body 1. The other end of the first spring 5 is fixedly connected to the main body 1. The disassembly mechanism includes a fine filter element 6 and a fixing element 7. The fine filter element 6 is installed at the bottom of the feed box 2. The fixing element 7 is installed on the fine filter element 6 and is connected to the feed box 2. A positioning frame 8 is installed on the fixing element 7. A second spring 9 is provided on the positioning frame 8. The positioning frame 8 slides on the fixing element 7. The second spring 9 is fixedly connected to the fixing element 7.

[0031] In this embodiment, the primary filtration mechanism includes a feed box 2 and a primary filter element 3. When the primary filter element 3 needs to be cleaned during use, the locking block 4 is pulled directly, allowing the locking block 4 to slide on the main body 1 and compress the first spring 5. Subsequently, the primary filter element 3 is no longer restrained, and the compressed third spring 17 directly pushes the reset plate 16 to apply power to the primary filter element 3, allowing the primary filter element 3 to detach from the feed box 2. When the primary filter element 3 detaches from the feed box 2, the sealing gasket 18 is disconnected from the feed box 2, and the primary filter screen 19 is removed, then cleaned, and reinstalled on the feed box 2 in reverse order according to the above operation.

[0032] In this embodiment, the disassembly mechanism includes a fine filter element 6 and a fixing element 7. During use, the fine filter element 6 does not need to be cleaned as frequently as the primary filter element 3. However, when cleaning is required, the hose 24 on the water pump 10 can be disconnected from the connecting pipe 22 first. Then, the positioning element on the fixing element 7 can be pulled so that the positioning element can stretch the second spring 9 and disengage from the positioning hole 20 at the bottom of the feed box 2. At this time, the fixing element 7 can be rotated so that the threaded hole 21 on the fixing element 7 can be engaged with the external thread 23 on the connecting pipe 22, thereby removing the fixing element 7 from the connecting pipe 22. Then, the fine filter element 6 can be taken out of the feed box 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the auxiliary mechanism includes a water pump 10 and a heating tank 11. After the initial filter element 3 and the fine filter element 6 are cleaned and installed, the water pump 10 starts and directly transfers the solution in the feed tank 2 to the heating tank 11 through the first transmission pipe 25. Then, the heating plate 14 at the bottom of the heating tank 11 drives the solution inside the heating tank 11 to heat it directly. At the same time, the motor 12 drives the stirring shaft 13 to start rotating, stirring and disturbing the solution in the heating tank 11 to prevent caking. When the solution inside the heating tank 11 reaches the required temperature, the control valve 27 installed on the second transmission pipe 26 at the bottom of the heating tank 11 opens, allowing the solution to be transferred through the second transmission pipe 26 to the ultrafilter 15 with a filter pump for filtration.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] In summary, when cleaning the primary filter element 3 during use, simply pull the locking block 4, allowing it to slide on the main body 1 and compress the first spring 5. The primary filter element 3 will then be freed from restraint, and the compressed third spring 17 will directly push the reset plate 16 to apply force to the primary filter element 3, allowing it to detach from the feed box 2. When the primary filter element 3 detaches from the feed box 2, the sealing gasket 18 disconnects from the feed box 2, and the primary filter screen 19 is removed. After cleaning, it is reinstalled onto the feed box 2 in reverse order. Although the fine filter element 6 requires less frequent cleaning than the primary filter element 3, when cleaning is needed, the hose 24 on the water pump 10 can be disconnected from the connecting pipe 22. Then, the positioning piece on the fixing piece 7 can be pulled, causing the positioning piece to stretch the second spring 9 and disengage from the positioning hole 20 at the bottom of the feed box 2. At this point, the fixing piece 7 can be rotated... Fixing part 7 is installed so that the threaded hole 21 on fixing part 7 is engaged with the external thread 23 on connecting pipe 22, thereby removing fixing part 7 from connecting pipe 22. Then, fine filter element 6 is taken out of feed box 2 for cleaning. After the initial filter element 3 and fine filter element 6 are cleaned and installed, water pump 10 starts and directly transfers the solution in feed box 2 to heating box 11 through first transmission pipe 25. Then, heating plate 14 at the bottom of heating box 11 is driven to directly heat the solution inside heating box 11. At the same time, motor 12 drives stirring shaft 13 to start rotating, stirring and agitating the solution in heating box 11 to prevent caking. When the solution inside heating box 11 reaches the temperature, control valve 27 installed on second transmission pipe 26 at the bottom of heating box 11 is opened, so that the solution can be transferred in second transmission pipe 26 to ultrafilter 15 with filter pump for filtration.

[0036] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
