Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of reaction vessel equipment, and specifically relates to a hydroxybutyl vinyl ether reaction vessel. Background Technology

[0002] The acetylene process for producing 4-hydroxybutylvinyl ether generally includes the following steps: 1,4-butanediol is added to a reactor, the temperature is raised to 60–200°C, potassium hydroxide is added, the mixture is stirred, a vacuum is maintained, and the dehydration reaction temperature is controlled at 60–200°C. After the dehydration reaction is complete, potassium 1,4-butanediol is obtained. The potassium 1,4-butanediol and 1,4-butanediol are mixed, acetylene is introduced, and the reaction temperature is controlled at 80–150°C and the acetylene gas pressure at 0.1–2 MPa. After the reaction is complete, the mixture is transferred to a distillation column for rectification to obtain 4-hydroxybutylvinyl ether. In the aforementioned dehydration and mixing processes, all are carried out inside a reactor. A heat exchange jacket is installed outside the reactor, through which a heat exchange medium is circulated to heat or cool the materials inside the reactor. However, existing reactors often have many dead zones, leading to insufficient mixing during stirring. Material in these dead zones is continuously heated and tends to stick to the reactor's inner wall, hindering the reaction and production. Therefore, a new hydroxybutyl vinyl ether reactor is urgently needed to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a hydroxybutyl vinyl ether reactor, including a reactor that is spherical and has a heat exchange jacket outside the reactor, with a medium inlet and a medium outlet on the heat exchange jacket;

[0004] The reactor is equipped with a stirring assembly and a scraping assembly. The stirring assembly includes a first rotating shaft connected to a first stepper motor and a stirring rod on the first rotating shaft. The scraping assembly includes a second rotating shaft connected to a second stepper motor and a scraping rod on the second rotating shaft. The scraping rod is arc-shaped and fits against the inner wall of the reactor.

[0005] It should be noted that the spherical shape of the reactor reduces dead corners inside the vessel, and the stirring rod and scraper rod allow for more thorough mixing, reducing material residue on the inner wall of the reactor.

[0006] Preferably, the upper end of the second rotating shaft passes through the reactor and is connected to a bevel gear, which meshes with the second bevel gear. The second bevel gear is connected to a stepper motor, which is fixed to the outer wall of the reactor. The second rotating shaft has a vertical receiving cavity inside. A support plate is fixed to the top of the second rotating shaft, and the first stepper motor is fixed to the support plate. The first stepper motor is connected to an external power supply through a conductive slip ring, so that the first stepper motor does not affect its own operation when rotating with the second rotating shaft. The lower end of the first rotating shaft extends into the receiving cavity and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the receiving cavity through a bearing. The upper end of the first rotating shaft extends from the top of the receiving cavity, passes through the support plate, and is connected to the first stepper motor. The first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the support plate through a bearing.

[0007] The central part of the receiving cavity is provided with a transmission cavity. A bevel gear three is fixed on a rotating shaft one in the transmission cavity. The stirring rod includes a horizontal rod and stirring blades. Multiple stirring blades are fixed on the horizontal rod. One end of the horizontal rod extends into the transmission cavity and is connected to a bevel gear four. The bevel gear four meshes with the bevel gear three. The horizontal rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the transmission cavity through a bearing three.

[0008] It should be noted that when stepper motor 2 rotates, bevel gear 2 drives bevel gear 1 to rotate, which in turn drives shaft 2 to rotate. Shaft 2 drives the scraper rod and stirring rod to rotate around the central axis of shaft 2 (achieving horizontal stirring). At this time, stepper motor 1 rotates with shaft 2. When stepper motor 1 is working, it drives shaft 1 to rotate, bevel gear 3 to rotate, which in turn drives bevel gear 4 to rotate. The stirring rod rotates on its own, and the horizontal rod drives the stirring blades to rotate (achieving vertical stirring), further improving the stirring effect.

[0009] Preferably, at least two stirring rods are provided, and each stirring rod is evenly distributed around the circumference of the bevel gear three.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission cavity is spherical. This reduces the accumulation of material on the outer wall of the transmission cavity.

[0011] Preferably, the reactor is equipped with inlet and outlet pipes, a temperature sensor, and a pressure sensor. The temperature and pressure sensors can monitor the temperature and pressure inside the reactor, allowing for pressure adjustment by opening the inlet and outlet pipes as needed, and control of the circulation rate of the heat exchange medium in the heat exchange jacket to alter the heating effect. This makes the conditions inside the reactor more suitable for the reaction of the materials.

[0012] Preferably, the upper part of the reactor is provided with an openable feed inlet, and the bottom of the reactor is provided with a discharge pipe, which is equipped with a switch valve.

[0013] This invention also includes other components that enable the normal operation of a hydroxybutyl vinyl ether reactor, such as control components for controlling the circulation of the heat exchange medium in the heating jacket (e.g., a circulation pump), control components for stepper motor one, control components for stepper motor two, control components for switching valves, control components for temperature sensors, control components for pressure sensors, and control components for the inlet valve, all of which are conventional technologies in the field. Furthermore, devices or components not specified in this invention, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, switching valves, and circulation pumps, all employ conventional technologies and equipment in the field.

[0014] Working principle: Materials enter the reactor through the feed inlet. A heat exchange medium is introduced into the heat exchange jacket to heat the materials inside the reactor. At this time, stepper motor 2 rotates, and bevel gear 2 drives bevel gear 1 to rotate, which in turn drives shaft 2 to rotate. Shaft 2 drives the scraper and stirring rod to rotate around the central axis of shaft 2 (achieving horizontal stirring). Stepper motor 1 rotates with shaft 2. When stepper motor 1 is working, it drives shaft 1 to rotate, bevel gear 3 to rotate, which in turn drives bevel gear 4 to rotate. The stirring rod rotates on its own, and the horizontal rod drives the stirring blades to rotate (achieving vertical stirring), further improving the stirring effect, making the heating more uniform, and the reaction more thorough and efficient.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages: the spherical shape of the reactor reduces dead corners, and the stirring component can perform efficient and thorough stirring of the materials in the reactor, making the materials in the reactor heat more evenly and react more fully. The scraper rod prevents the materials from sticking to the inner wall of the reactor, improving the fullness and efficiency of the reaction, which is beneficial to production.

[0024] The middle part of the receiving cavity 8 is provided with a transmission cavity. A bevel gear 10 is fixed on the rotating shaft 9 in the transmission cavity. The stirring rod includes a horizontal rod 12 and stirring blades 13. Multiple stirring blades 13 are fixed on the horizontal rod 12.

The horizontal rod 12 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the transmission cavity through a bearing 3. Stepper motor 16 rotates, bevel gear 15 drives bevel gear 14 to rotate, which in turn drives shaft 7 to rotate. Shaft 7 drives scraper rod 19 and stirring rod to rotate around the central axis of shaft 7 (achieving horizontal stirring). At this time, stepper motor 18 rotates with shaft 1. When stepper motor 18 is working, it drives shaft 9 to rotate, bevel gear 10 to rotate, which in turn drives bevel gear 11 to rotate. The stirring rod rotates, and horizontal rod 12 drives stirring blade 13 to rotate (achieving vertical stirring), further improving the stirring effect.

[0028] Materials enter the reactor through the feed inlet.
