[0002] Polyurethane is widely used in industrial fields, with applications including adhesives and surface coatings for various items. However, the use of polyurethane requires large amounts of organic solvents, causing serious environmental pollution. Based on environmental protection considerations, water-based polyurethane processing has become a development trend.

[0003] Currently, waterborne polyurethane production often employs a single stirring structure, namely a single or two sets of dispersion discs, along with baffles added inside the reactor to increase shearing during the emulsification process and thus increase emulsification efficiency. However, for some products with high viscosity or slow phase transition, traditional stirring and shearing methods are often ineffective, resulting in large batch-to-batch variations, manifested in large differences in dispersion particle size and finished resin viscosity.

The serrated disc body is sleeved on the second drive shaft. The upper and lower clamping plates are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the serrated disc body and fixed by bolts. The jacket includes an outer jacket embedded in the upper clamping plate and an inner jacket slidably disposed inside the outer jacket. The contact surfaces of the outer and inner jackets are inclined and adjusted by bolts.

[0007] In a further improvement, a circulation mechanism is provided on the side of the reactor. The circulation mechanism includes a circulation pipe connected to the pipes at the upper and lower ends of the reactor and a circulation pump installed on the circulation pipe.

[0008] As a further improvement, the reactor is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge pipe at the lower end.

[0010] In a further improvement, the frame mixer is provided in two sets, with the included angle between the two sets of frame mixers being a right angle and the cross-section being a square.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: In actual use, various raw materials required for the production of waterborne polyurethane are first added to the reactor. Then, the drive motor is started, which drives drive shaft one to rotate. Drive gear one on drive shaft one meshes with drive gear two, driving drive shaft two to rotate synchronously, thereby enabling the frame agitator and the dispersion agitator to work simultaneously.

[0019] The following describes the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-4 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] A stirring device for emulsification in the production of waterborne polyurethane includes: a reaction vessel 1 and a stirring mechanism 2. The stirring mechanism 2 includes a drive module 21 disposed on the reaction vessel 1 and a stirring module 22 disposed inside the reaction vessel 1. The drive module 21 includes a drive shaft 211 rotatably disposed at the center of the reaction vessel 1 and drive shafts 212 disposed on both sides of the drive shaft 211. The drive shaft 211 is provided with drive teeth 2111 and a drive motor 2112 is disposed at its upper end. The drive shaft 212 is provided with drive teeth 2121 and meshes with the adjacent drive teeth 2121. The stirring module 22 includes a frame stirrer 221 disposed on the drive shaft 211 and a dispersing stirrer 222 disposed on the drive shaft 212.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in actual use, the various raw materials required for the production of waterborne polyurethane are first added to the reactor 1. Then, the drive motor 2112 is started, which drives the drive shaft 211 to rotate. The drive gear 2111 on the drive shaft 211 meshes with the drive gear 2121, causing the drive shaft 212 to rotate synchronously. This causes the frame agitator 221 and the dispersing agitator 222 to work simultaneously. The frame agitator 221 agitates and mixes the raw materials over a wide range, while the dispersing agitator 222 finely disperses the materials. The two work together to ensure that the waterborne polyurethane raw materials are fully mixed and emulsified in the reactor 1, ultimately resulting in a uniform and stable waterborne polyurethane emulsion.

[0023] As a further preferred embodiment, the dispersing agitator 222 includes a serrated disc body 2221, a lower clamping disc 2222, a clamping sleeve 2223, and an upper clamping disc 2224. The serrated disc body 2221 is sleeved on the drive shaft 212. The upper clamping disc 2224 and the lower clamping disc 2222 are respectively disposed on the upper and lower sides of the serrated disc body 2221 and fixed by bolts. The clamping sleeve 2223 includes an outer clamping sleeve 22231 embedded in the upper clamping disc 2224 and an inner clamping sleeve 22232 slidably disposed inside the outer clamping sleeve 22231. The contact surfaces of the outer clamping sleeve 22231 and the inner clamping sleeve 22232 are inclined and adjusted by bolts.

[0024] Specifically, the dispersing agitator 222 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 212 by means of a jacket, which facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance. At the same time, the installation position of the dispersing agitator 222 can be adjusted according to the actual process parameters, so as to achieve the best effect of the dispersing agitator 222.

[0025] Alternatively, each set of drive shaft 212 is equipped with two sets of dispersing agitators 222. The diameter of the serrated disc 2221 is 0.3 times the inner diameter of the reactor. The outer side of the upper disc is provided with long teeth at an inclination angle of 45°, and the outer side of the lower disc is provided with short teeth at an inclination angle of 90°. The combination of long and short teeth with different inclination angles further improves the stirring effect.

[0026] As a further preferred embodiment, a circulation mechanism 3 is provided on the side of the reactor 1. The circulation mechanism 3 includes a circulation pipe 31 connected to the pipes at the upper and lower ends of the reactor 1 and a circulation pump 32 provided on the circulation pipe 31.

[0027] Specifically, through the setting of the circulation mechanism 3, the material forms a circulating flow in the reactor 1, which further improves the uniformity and efficiency of stirring. The circulation pump 32 drives the material to flow in the circulation pipe 31, so that the material is constantly renewed during the stirring process, avoiding the problem of local concentration being too high or too low, and ensuring the stability of the emulsification process and the consistency of product quality.

[0028] As a further preferred embodiment, the reactor 1 is provided with a feed inlet 11 and a discharge pipe 12 at its lower end. A support base 13 is provided inside the reactor 1. A filter screen is provided on the side of the support base 13 and its lower end is connected to the discharge pipe 12. The lower end of the drive shaft 211 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the support base 13.

[0029] Specifically, a filter screen is provided on the side of the support base 13 to filter the material, remove impurities, and ensure product quality. The lower end of the support base 13 is connected to the discharge pipe 12 so that the filtered material can be discharged smoothly. The lower end of the drive shaft 211 is rotatably set on the upper end of the support base 13 to ensure the stability of the stirring mechanism 2 during operation.

[0030] As a further preferred embodiment, the frame stirrer 221 is provided in two sets, with the included angle between the two sets of frame stirrers 221 being a right angle and the cross-section being a square, thereby further improving the stirring and mixing efficiency.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
