Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of microcapsule technology, specifically relating to a microcapsule powder modification device. Background Technology

[0002] In practical applications, microcapsules often face compatibility issues with various systems, such as textile finishing auxiliaries, fiber spinning solutions, daily chemical detergents, and electronic heat dissipation materials. Depending on the properties of these systems, we aim to enhance the surface activity of microcapsules while preserving their original characteristics, thereby achieving better application results. Microcapsule surface modification technologies include wet modification techniques, such as grafting surface groups into slurry systems; and dry modification techniques, which are performed directly on the microcapsule powder without involving a dispersion medium, making them more efficient, convenient, and environmentally friendly. Low-temperature plasma modification technology is a type of dry technique. The plasma gas it generates is almost at room temperature, making it easy to apply to the surface of materials with minimal impact on the original properties of the raw materials. Its application in the field of microcapsule technology is a relatively novel approach. Low-temperature plasma modification technology ionizes reactive gases through glow discharge, corona discharge, dielectric barrier discharge, radio frequency discharge, and microwave discharge. The resulting low-temperature plasma has high energy and impacts the surface of polymer materials, causing surface etching, cross-linking, and polymerization, thus modifying the materials. Among these methods, dielectric barrier discharge, by placing an insulator in the discharge space, forms a large number of fine fast-pulse discharge channels, making the discharge very uniform, diffuse, and stable. This facilitates full contact of reactant molecules during the reaction, resulting in more thorough modification. Furthermore, it does not require vacuuming and can maintain the reaction at atmospheric or high pressure, making the modification more efficient.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a microcapsule powder modification device, which has the characteristics of simple structure, efficient and thorough modification and easy control. Utility Model Content

[0015] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described and explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0016] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a microcapsule powder modification device, including a vessel body 1 and a powder circulating fan 2; the vessel body 1 includes a top 3, a straight section 4, and a conical section 5; the vessel body is provided with a cavity 6, which is filled with a blocking medium 7; the top 3 of the vessel body is provided with a feed inlet 8, which is funnel-shaped and equipped with a valve; the top 3 of the vessel body is provided with an exhaust port 9, which is equipped with a valve; the top 3 of the vessel body is also provided with a circulating gas outlet 10, which is equipped with a valve and connected to the powder circulating fan inlet 11; a copper mesh electrode 12 is provided on the outer surface of the straight section 4 of the vessel body and grounded; a manhole 13 is provided on the front of the straight section 4 of the vessel body; the straight section of the vessel body... A conduit 14 is installed at one end of the side, and the conduit 14 and the high-voltage cable inside it extend into the inside of the reactor body and are connected to the vertically installed copper electrode 15. A sleeve 16 is installed around the copper electrode 15, and the sleeve 16 is filled with a blocking medium 7. The conical section 5 of the reactor body is provided with several circulating gas inlets 17. Each circulating gas inlet 17 is equipped with a valve and is connected to the outlet 18 of the powder circulating fan. A tailpipe 19 is provided at the bottom of the conical section 5 of the reactor body. The tailpipe 19 is provided with a reaction gas inlet 20, a main circulating gas inlet 21, and a discharge port 22. Each of the reaction gas inlet 20, the main circulating gas inlet 21, and the discharge port 22 is equipped with a valve. The main circulating gas inlet 21 is connected to the outlet 23 of the powder circulating fan.

[0017] The circulating fan is a specially insulated and sealed fan for powder conveying.

[0018] Furthermore, the vessel body is made of quartz.

[0019] Furthermore, the blocking medium is quartz wool.

[0020] The working principle of this invention is as follows: reactive gas is quantitatively introduced into the reactor from the reactive gas inlet at the bottom of the reactor body, and microcapsule powder is added into the reactor body from the feed inlet at the top of the reactor body. The valves at the reactive gas inlet, feed outlet, exhaust port, and feed inlet are closed, while all other valves are opened. The circulating fan is turned on, and the circulating gas flows through the circulating gas outlet at the top of the reactor body, passes through the fan outlet, and is distributed into several circulating gas inlets in the cone section of the reactor body. It then enters the reactor body and is fully mixed with the powder to form a tumbling fluidized bed. A high-voltage power supply is applied to the copper electrode, and through the quartz wool barrier, a barrier discharge is formed between the copper mesh electrode to generate low-temperature plasma that acts on the surface of the microcapsules, achieving the desired modification effect on the surface of the microcapsules.

[0021] Furthermore, this invention allows for the quantitative replenishment of reactive gas into the reactor via the reaction gas inlet midway through the reaction process, and also allows for control of the cyclic reaction time until the microcapsule powder meets the requirements of practical applications.
