Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cyclone separator technology, specifically a cyclone separator feeding device for cellulose ethers. Background Technology
[0002] Cellulose ethers, as important chemical materials, are widely used in industries such as construction, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and food, playing a particularly important role in the construction industry as thickeners and rheology modifiers. The production of cellulose ethers requires separation from the reaction solution and subsequent processing such as drying and pulverization to obtain the final product. However, cyclone separators, as traditional separation equipment, suffer from a series of problems in this process, especially in the feeding stage, leading to reduced production efficiency and increased difficulty in equipment maintenance.
[0003] The working principle of a cyclone separator: A cyclone separator uses airflow to rotate materials, generating centrifugal force to separate heavier particulate matter. It is typically used to separate fine powders and granular materials from an airflow, and can then feed the material into a storage silo or into a device for further processing. However, cyclone separators have the following main drawbacks:
[0004] The discharge port of a cyclone separator is often clogged due to the stickiness or moisture of the cellulose ether powder, especially when the material flow rate is low or the temperature is high. The material tends to adhere to the pipe wall or discharge port, resulting in poor or stagnant discharge.
[0005] Existing cyclone separators typically use gravity for material feeding, but when processing cellulose ether powder with strong viscosity, the material does not flow freely and cannot achieve continuous and rapid feeding, thus affecting overall production efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a cyclone separator feeding device for cellulose ethers. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cyclone separator feeding device for cellulose ethers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A technical solution for a cyclone separator feeding device for cellulose ethers includes a separator shell, wherein the separator shell is provided with an airflow port on the side, a separation port on the top, and a material discharge valve on the bottom;
[0010] The bottom of the separator housing is connected to an anti-clogging discharge shell. A motor is installed on the outside of the anti-clogging discharge shell. The motor is connected to a drive rod through a belt drive assembly. The drive rod passes through the side wall of the anti-clogging discharge shell and extends into its interior. At least one material distribution connecting rod is fixed on the drive rod. An arc-shaped material distribution component is connected to the end of the material distribution connecting rod. The surface of the arc-shaped material distribution component is provided with multiple material distribution protrusions.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the arc-shaped material distribution component is located inside the anti-clogging material discharge shell and is vertically distributed with the material discharge valve to disperse the material accumulated at the bottom and avoid blockage.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the material distribution protrusions are distributed at equal intervals along the surface of the arc-shaped material distribution component.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the material discharge valve is a pneumatically or electrically controlled rotary discharge valve.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the anti-clogging discharge shell is a cylindrical structure, and its top and bottom diameters are adapted to the separator shell and the material discharge valve, respectively.
[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the material distribution protrusion has a cylindrical structure.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This invention relates to a cyclone separator feeding device for cellulose ethers. The anti-clogging feeding shell and arc-shaped distributing component effectively solve the problem of clogging during the feeding process of cellulose ether powder. A motor-driven drive rod rotates the arc-shaped distributing component, and the distributing protrusions evenly disperse the accumulated material, preventing material buildup inside the anti-clogging feeding shell and ensuring continuous and smooth feeding. Simultaneously, the material discharge valve is a pneumatically or electrically controlled rotary discharge valve, further improving the controllability and stability of the feeding process.

[0023] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a cyclone separator feeding device for cellulose ethers: it includes a separator shell 1, with an airflow port 11 on the side, a separation port 12 on the top, and a material discharge valve 13 at the bottom. An anti-clogging feeding shell 2 is connected to the bottom of the separator shell 1, and a motor 21 is installed on the outside of the anti-clogging feeding shell 2. The motor 21 is connected to a drive rod 23 via a belt drive assembly 22. The drive rod 23 penetrates the side wall of the anti-clogging feeding shell 2 and extends into it. At least one material distribution connecting rod 24 is fixed on the drive rod 23. An arc-shaped material distribution component 25 is connected to the end of the material distribution connecting rod 24, and the surface of the arc-shaped material distribution component 25 is provided with multiple material distribution protrusions 26.
[0025] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped material distribution component 25 is located inside the anti-clogging discharge shell 2 and is perpendicular to the material discharge valve 13. It is used to disperse the material accumulated at the bottom and prevent blockage. The material distribution protrusions 26 are evenly distributed along the surface of the arc-shaped material distribution component 25 to ensure that the material is evenly dispersed inside the anti-clogging discharge shell 2.
[0026] The material discharge valve 13 is a pneumatically or electrically controlled rotary discharge valve, which can achieve precise control of the material discharge process and improve the controllability and stability of the material discharge.
[0027] The anti-clogging discharge shell 2 is a cylindrical structure, and its top and bottom diameters are adapted to the separator shell 1 and the material discharge valve 13, respectively, ensuring the compact structure of the device and the smooth flow of materials.
[0028] The material distribution protrusion 26 has a cylindrical structure, which is designed to effectively disperse the accumulated material during rotation.
[0029] In practical applications, after cellulose ether powder is separated by a cyclone separator during production, it enters the bottom of the separator shell 1. Due to the viscosity or moisture content of the cellulose ether powder, it is prone to clogging at the outlet. This invention's cyclone separator feeding device for cellulose ether effectively solves this problem by incorporating an anti-clogging feeding shell 2 and an arc-shaped distribution component 25. The motor 21 drives the drive rod 23 to rotate the arc-shaped distribution component 25, and the distribution protrusions 26 evenly disperse the accumulated material, preventing material accumulation inside the anti-clogging feeding shell 2 and ensuring continuous and smooth feeding.
[0030] In summary, the cyclone separator feeding device for cellulose ethers of this invention, through its unique design, effectively improves feeding efficiency, reduces maintenance difficulty, and thus enhances overall production efficiency.
