Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of purified terephthalic acid filtration technology, and more specifically, to a purified terephthalic acid filtration device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern chemical industry, purified terephthalic acid (PTA) is a key raw material for the production of polyester fibers and plastics, and its purification process has a decisive impact on product quality. However, the mainstream PTA filtration devices currently on the market face a severe technical challenge in actual production applications—the pressure stability of the filtration system. Specifically, traditional filtration devices must rely on a certain feed pressure to propel the material through the filter medium during operation to ensure sufficient filtration rate and production efficiency. However, this pressure-driven filtration mechanism has an inherent flaw: the filter bag, as a key filtration element, has material properties and structural design that determine that it can only maintain its full functionality within a specific pressure range. In actual production environments, due to factors such as fluctuations in the operating status of upstream equipment, inaccurate pressure regulation of the pumping system, and mismatched valve opening and closing speeds, unpredictable fluctuations in feed pressure often occur, especially during equipment startup, shutdown, or process parameter adjustments, where instantaneous pressure spikes may occur. When this pressure impact exceeds the pressure limit of the filter bag, the filter bag will deform, tear or even be completely damaged. This not only causes the filtration effect to fail immediately, but more seriously, it will cause unfiltered materials to mix into the filtered products, resulting in product contamination and quality accidents.
[0003] A deeper analysis of the technical impact and economic losses reveals that the damage to filter bags has multifaceted and far-reaching effects on production. Firstly, regarding production continuity, a damaged filter bag typically requires immediate shutdown for replacement. Such unplanned downtime can last from hours to days, resulting in significant capacity and economic losses on large-scale chemical production lines. Secondly, from a product quality perspective, contamination caused by damaged filter bags can lead to substandard downstream products. This is particularly true in the production of high-end polyester materials, where even minute amounts of impurities can cause fiber breakage, reduced strength, or color variations, potentially leading to downgraded sales or scrapping of the final product.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a purified terephthalic acid filtration device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This innovative purified terephthalic acid filtration device effectively solves the technical problem of filter bag damage due to pressure fluctuations in traditional equipment through a meticulously designed intelligent pressure regulating system, achieving safe and stable operation of the production process. Its core technological advantage lies in the introduction of an automated pressure regulation mechanism that can respond to fluctuations in feed pressure in real time and automatically activate pressure relief protection when the pressure exceeds a safe threshold, promptly releasing excess pressure to a dedicated collection area, thereby protecting the filter elements from damage. When a sudden pressure increase occurs in the production system, this precise pressure regulating device senses the pressure change and automatically opens the pressure relief channel through a sealing assembly controlled by an elastic element, rapidly diverting the liquid exceeding the set threshold to ensure that the pressure flowing through the filter bag remains within a safe range. Compared to traditional passive protection designs, this active pressure management solution has significant advantages in terms of fast response speed and high adjustment accuracy, completing the pressure relief response within milliseconds, effectively preventing impact damage to the filtration system caused by instantaneous high pressure.
[0018] Even more commendable is the integration of intelligent material recovery functionality, achieving highly efficient resource utilization. Through a cleverly designed floating sealing structure, the system can automatically adjust the opening and closing of the return channel according to the operating status. During normal filtration, the floating component rises under the influence of the liquid surface and activates the sealing mechanism, ensuring the airtightness of the pressure relief system. When production stops and the liquid level drops, the floating component moves downward, automatically opening the return channel, allowing the raw materials temporarily stored in the collection area to automatically return to the filtration system, awaiting the next filtration, achieving zero material waste.

The inlet pipe 2 and outlet pipe 5 are respectively installed on both sides of the housing 1. The partition plate 3 is installed inside the housing 1. The inlet pipe 2 connects to the upper layer of the partition plate 3, and the outlet pipe 5 connects to the lower layer of the partition plate 3. An overflow pipe 6 is connected to the inlet pipe 2. A transverse pipe 7 is connected to the side wall of the overflow pipe 6, and a collection box 8 is connected to the transverse pipe 7. The collection box 8 is installed on the side wall of the housing 1. A threaded pipe 9 is threaded at the upper end of the overflow pipe 6, and a pusher 10 is provided at the lower end of the threaded pipe 9. The pusher 10 is slidably and sealingly connected to the inner wall of the overflow pipe 6. A receiving plate 11 is coaxially provided inside the overflow pipe 6. A sealing groove 12 is provided on the receiving plate 11, and a sealing plate 13 is attached to the receiving plate 11 and pressed on the sealing groove 12. A middle rod 14 is provided on the sealing plate 13 and is slidably connected to the push plate 10. A spring 21 is sleeved on the middle rod 14, with one end of the spring 21 abutting against the sealing plate 13 and the other end of the spring 21 abutting against the push plate 10. A floating sleeve 15 is slidably provided at the lower end of the overflow pipe 6. Multiple sealing rods 16 are provided at equal intervals on the floating sleeve 15.

[0029] In this embodiment, when filtering purified terephthalic acid, the raw material is first introduced into the upper part of the partition plate 3 through the water inlet pipe 2, and then filtered through the filter bag 4 at the upper part. After filtration, the raw material enters the filter bag 4 and is discharged through the water outlet pipe 5, thus completing the filtration process. When there is pressure fluctuation, if the pressure exceeds the elastic force of the spring 21, the seal between the sealing plate 13 and the sealing groove 12 will be released, and the pressure fluctuation part will flow into the collection box 8 through the horizontal pipe 7, thereby avoiding pressure fluctuation.
[0030] More specifically, when the water inlet pipe 2 is under pressure, the float sleeve 15 floats inside the raw material, so the sealing rod 16 is inserted into the through hole 17, thus sealing during operation. When operation stops, the raw material supply stops, the float sleeve 15 descends, and the sealing rod 16 disconnects from the through hole 17. At this time, the raw material in the collection box 8 flows back into the outer shell 1, thus avoiding the accumulation of raw material.
[0031] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment: when filtering purified terephthalic acid, the raw material is first introduced into the upper part of the partition plate 3 through the inlet pipe 2, and then filtered through the filter bag 4 at the upper end. After filtration, the raw material enters the filter bag 4 and is discharged through the outlet pipe 5, thus completing the filtration process. When there is pressure fluctuation, if the pressure exceeds the elastic force of the spring 21, the seal between the sealing plate 13 and the sealing groove 12 will be released, and the pressure fluctuation will flow into the collection box 8 through the horizontal pipe 7, thereby avoiding pressure fluctuation.
[0032] When the inlet pipe 2 is under pressure, the float sleeve 15 floats inside the raw material, so the sealing rod 16 is inserted into the through hole 17, thus sealing during operation. When operation stops, the raw material supply stops, the float sleeve 15 descends, and the sealing rod 16 disconnects from the through hole 17. At this time, the raw material in the collection box 8 flows back into the outer shell 1, thus avoiding the accumulation of raw material.
