Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polymerization reaction apparatus technology, and discloses a novel polymerization reaction apparatus for laboratory synthesis of PVC. Background Technology

[0002] Polyvinyl chloride (hereinafter referred to as PVC) is a granular organic compound polymerized from vinyl chloride monomer (hereinafter referred to as VCM) under specific temperature, pressure, and additive catalysis. In actual production, liquid VCM and additives such as initiators and dispersants are sequentially pumped into the reactor from their respective storage tanks. The reactor is maintained at a certain temperature and pressure and stirred for a period of time. Finally, a terminator is added to terminate the reaction, resulting in solid powdered PVC particles with a certain degree of polymerization.

[0003] Laboratory-grade small-scale polymerization reactors are miniaturized versions of large-scale industrial production equipment. They are designed to explore and master optimal process control parameters, simulate industrial production environments for performance comparison tests of various additives, and conduct other quantitative and qualitative research, thereby reducing material losses and economic losses caused by large-scale production trials.

[0004] Existing patent CN 209549465 U discloses an experimental apparatus for the polymerization reaction of vinyl chloride, including a vertical cylindrical polymerization vessel. The polymerization vessel is equipped with a temperature control tube, which is circulatedly connected to a heating circulation mechanism and a cooling circulation mechanism on the outside of the polymerization vessel. The top of the polymerization vessel is equipped with a cover, which is provided with a temperature control tube inlet, a temperature control tube outlet, a material inlet, a temperature measuring port, a nitrogen replacement interface, a pressure measuring port, a condenser interface, a stirring mechanism interface, and a vacuum interface. The bottom of the polymerization vessel is equipped with a discharge port.

[0005] The existing technology has defects, such as: (1) The functional dimensions of the device lack the convenience and safety of experiments. For example, the movable storage tank used to store VCM is not firmly fixed. Once the storage tank falls and collides, it is easy to cause toxic, harmful, flammable and explosive vinyl chloride gas to escape, which increases the safety risk of the experimental process; (2) Due to the limitation of the lifting platform, the space for manually tightening bolts in the reactor is small and difficult to operate, which does not conform to the ergonomic design; (3) There are too many tiny impurities in the raw materials, the pipe diameter is narrow and there is no matching filter. Due to the limitations of the equipment, it is impossible to clean the impurities, which can easily cause the plunger pump to be blocked and the product quality to decline. Utility Model Content

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "left", "right", "front", "back", "lateral", "longitudinal", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0038] Example

[0039] Combination Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a novel polymerization reaction device for laboratory synthesis of PVC, including a storage tank 1, a storage tank support 4, a storage tank operating platform 5, a sample injection pump 10, a micro-channel filter 3, a vessel operating platform 14, a reaction vessel 12, and a vessel lifting device 13.

[0040] The storage tank support 4 is a tripod support used to support storage tank 1, which is a vinyl chloride (VCM) storage tank, a container specifically used for storing vinyl chloride.

[0041] The tank support 4 is made entirely of stainless steel.

[0042] The tank support 4 has a hollow cylindrical interior. The bottom of the tank support 4 is welded and fixed to the tank operating platform 5. A circular hole base is provided in the upper part of the interior of the tank support 4. The surface of the circular hole base is covered with a rubber cushioning pad. The size of the circular hole base is adapted to the vertically inserted tank 1, and the circular hole base provides three-dimensional support for the tank 1.

[0043] The rear side of the storage tank operating platform 5 has a back plate 9.

[0044] A fixing strap 2 is attached to the front end of the storage tank 1. The two ends of the fixing strap 2 are connected to the columns 8 installed on the left and right sides of the storage tank support 4, respectively. The columns 8 are fixed to the back plate 9. The storage tank support 4 and the fixing strap 2 together ensure the safe use of the storage tank 1.

[0045] A microchannel filter 3 is connected in series on the discharge pipe 18 between the discharge port of storage tank 1 and the sampling pump 10. The discharge pipe 18 is a microchannel.

[0046] The microchannel filter 3 is a mesh filter, which, compared to filter cotton, filter rods, filter cloth, and filter membranes, can effectively reduce the clogging caused by the self-polymerization of liquid vinyl chloride (VCM) and the pressure drop in the microchannels. The filter screen 31 of the mesh filter can be made of corrosion-resistant materials such as polypropylene, polyester, and stainless steel.

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the filter screen 31 of the microchannel filter 3 is nested within the outer shell 32 of the microchannel filter 3, and a 60-80 mesh flat-top conical wire mesh is used to accommodate the particle size of the impurities. Considering the short-distance transport performance of the experimental microchannels, the microchannel filter 3 is designed as a direct filter.

[0048] The outer shell 32 of the microchannel filter 3 is a cylindrical shell with a flange sealing surface. The outer shell 32 is divided into upper and lower parts and is fixed by flange bolts. The two ends of the outer shell 32 are equipped with threaded sleeves for connecting microchannels. After the threaded sleeves at both ends of the outer shell 32 are connected to the microchannels, the microchannel filter 3 is connected in series between the storage tank 1 and the injection pump 10 to facilitate the stable delivery of liquid vinyl chloride VCM.

[0049] The outer shell 32 of the micro-channel filter 3 can be made of pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials such as polypropylene, polyester, and stainless steel.

[0050] This invention introduces a novel micro-pipeline filter that, through targeted design of size and materials, effectively filters out minute impurities in raw materials, purifying them. This reduces problems such as feed pump clogging and product quality degradation.

[0051] The inlet of the reactor 12 is connected to the outlet of the sample pump 10 via a micro-channel.

[0052] The vessel lifting device 13 is installed on the right side of the reactor 12. The vessel lifting device 13 includes a rack 131, a gear 132, a load-bearing rod 133, an electrical control cabinet 135, a load-bearing bracket 15, and an electric hoist 17.

[0053] The reactor body 121 and the lid 122 of the reactor 12 are detachably connected, and the reactor body 121 can be removed from the lid 122. A load-bearing lug 123 is welded to the front and rear sides of the reactor body 121 at staggered heights. Rollers 124 are provided at the bottom of the load-bearing lug 123.

[0054] Two load-bearing rods 133 are provided, and a groove 134 is opened on the top of the load-bearing rods 133; each load-bearing lug 123 is slidably connected to the groove 134 of one load-bearing rod 133. This allows the vessel body 121 to move laterally along the groove 134 of the load-bearing rods 133.

[0055] When the vessel body 121 is subjected to forward and backward thrust, the load-bearing lug 123 moves forward and backward along the slide groove 134 of the load-bearing rod 133, thereby driving the entire vessel body 121 to move laterally within a small range.

[0056] The system comprises two racks 131 and two gears 132. Each rack 131 is horizontally fixed to the bottom of a supporting rod 133, and the racks 131 and supporting rods 133 can be connected by welding. The ends of the two racks 131 furthest from the vessel body 121 are each connected to a gear 132. Each gear 132 is fixed inside a housing 19 via a shaft passing through its center. The housing 19 is integrally connected to the supporting bracket 15. The supporting rod 133 and racks 131 pass through the supporting bracket 15 and the housing 19. The shaft passing through the center of each gear 132 is fixed to the housing 19.

[0057] One of the gears 132 is connected to the output shaft of the motor inside the housing 19 via a coupling, and the shafts of the two gears 132 are connected by a conveyor belt.

[0058] When the drive gear 132 rotates, the gear 132 drives the rack 131, which in turn drives the entire load-bearing rod 133 to move laterally, causing the vessel body 121 to move laterally over a wide range.

[0059] The electrical control cabinet 135 has an electric hoist 17 built in. The lifting point of the electric hoist 17 is connected to the load-bearing bracket 15. When the electric hoist 17 is started, the load-bearing bracket 15 and the box 19 move up and down together, which in turn drives the load-bearing rod 133 to drive the vessel 121 to move up and down in a short distance.

[0060] The control cabinet 135 of the vessel lifting device 13 is equipped with control and emergency stop buttons on its operating interface, which can realize the automated operation of the above process.

[0061] Both the vessel lifting device 13 and the vessel body 121 are stainless steel metal products.

[0062] The lid 122 of the reactor 12 is on the same plane as the reactor body operating platform 14 and is fixed as a whole. A fixing rod 11 is provided on the reactor body operating platform 14, and a stirring motor 16 is fixed between the fixing rods 11. A corresponding controller is connected to the stirring motor 16 to control the operation of the stirring motor 16 and perform stirring operation.

[0063] The original cooling water circuit, electrical circuit, gas circuit and raw material pipeline of the reactor 12 and stirring motor 16 are not affected by the improvement. Only the design of the platform lid 122 leaves enough space for loading and unloading the reactor body 121, which facilitates the operation of disassembling and assembling the lid 122.

[0064] The above technical features constitute the preferred embodiment of this utility model, which has strong adaptability and optimal implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
