Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production technology in the chemical polyvinyl chloride industry, and in particular to a small-scale initiator addition device for polyvinyl chloride polymerization reactor that prevents clogging. Background Technology
[0002] In the chemical industry, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a widely used synthetic resin. With its excellent mechanical properties, outstanding chemical corrosion resistance, good electrical insulation, and excellent processing performance, it occupies an important position in many industries. PVC resin is generated through a polymerization reaction, and the initiator, as an indispensable key auxiliary agent in this polymerization reaction, has a decisive influence on the core properties such as the polymerization rate and molecular weight of PVC resin, and thus directly affects the quality and application performance of PVC products.
[0003] When the initiator addition device for vinyl chloride polymerization reactor is in use, the precise addition of the initiator is the core link to ensure the stable operation of the polymerization reaction. Traditional initiator addition devices usually adopt a single straight pipe conveying structure. After the material is metered by an automatic control valve, it is directly injected into the polymerization reactor along a vertical or horizontal pipe. Although this design can meet the basic requirements for low viscosity and non-crystalline materials, it has significant defects in the addition of high viscosity and easily crystallizing initiators, such as diethylhexyl peroxide dicarbonate. The fluid in the straight pipe section is in a laminar flow state, and the boundary layer thickens, leading to the accumulation of deposits on the pipe wall. Under low temperature conditions, the risk of material crystallization is further aggravated, eventually causing pipe blockage. Especially in continuous production processes, blockage will directly lead to interruption of the polymerization reactor feed and an increased risk of thermal runaway of the reaction, requiring frequent shutdowns to clear the blockage, which seriously restricts production efficiency and equipment utilization.
[0004] Therefore, to address the aforementioned problem of inconvenience in preventing self-polymerization blockage in the initiator addition pipe, a small-scale anti-blockage initiator addition device for vinyl chloride polymerization reactors can be designed. When the initiator addition device is in use, the material in the initiator storage tank is precisely metered by an automatic control valve and then sequentially passes through a segmented inclined pipeline system consisting of an upper and lower initiation pipe. During the transportation process, the valves open in concert to form a bidirectional flow path. The initiator flows downward along the inclined angle of the lower initiation pipe, using gravity to reduce adhesion to the pipe wall. The spiral guide vanes installed on the inner wall of the pipe transform the straight flow into a spiral flow field. Combined with the elastic oscillation system formed by the annular scraper under the action of the connecting spring, periodic pulsating impacts are generated when the fluid passes through, which can both scrape off potential crystals on the pipe wall and destroy the fluid boundary layer to prevent deposition. When a low temperature risk is detected, the electric heating belt is activated to form a closed-loop temperature control system to ensure that the initiator maintains the optimal flow state. Finally, the initiator is injected into the tank through the dual-pass pipe. This technical solution provides a reliable anti-blockage solution for continuous chemical production through the organic combination of fluid dynamics optimization and temperature control, and is particularly suitable for the precise addition of high-viscosity and easily crystallizing materials. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that traditional initiator addition devices for vinyl chloride polymerization reactors typically use a single straight pipe conveying structure, in scenarios involving the addition of high-viscosity, easily crystallizing initiators, the fluid in the straight pipe section is in a laminar flow state, the boundary layer thickens, leading to the accumulation of deposits on the pipe wall, and the risk of material crystallization is further aggravated in low-temperature environments, ultimately causing self-polymerization blockage in the initiator addition pipe.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment: a small anti-clogging initiator addition device for a vinyl chloride polymerization reactor, comprising a polymerization reactor tank 1, an initiator storage tank 2, an upper inlet pipe 3, a lower inlet pipe 4, a double-pass pipe 5, an installation cylinder 6, an electric heating belt 7, a spiral guide vane 8, a fixing ring 9, a connecting spring 10, an annular scraper 11, and a control assembly.

An annular scraper 11 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the connecting spring 10. A control component is provided on the side wall of the upper inlet pipe 3.
[0023] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lower right end of the double-pass pipe 5 is connected to the left end of the lower inlet pipe 4. The electric heating belt 7 is wound around the side wall of the lower inlet pipe 4. When a low temperature risk is detected, the electric heating belt 7 is activated to form a closed-loop temperature control system to ensure that the initiator maintains the best flow state. The control components include an initiator centrifugal pump 12, a control check valve 13, and an open / close check valve 14. The initiator centrifugal pump 12 is installed in the middle section of the upper inlet pipe 3. The control check valve 13 is installed on the side wall of the upper inlet pipe 3. The open / close check valve 14 is installed on the side wall of the double-pass pipe 5. During the delivery process, the control check valve 13 and the open / close check valve 14 work together to open to form a bidirectional flow path.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A stirring motor 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the polymerization reactor tank 1. A stirring shaft 17 is installed at the output end of the stirring motor 16. A stirring support 18 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the stirring shaft 17. When the stirring motor 16 is started, it drives the stirring shaft 17 to drive the stirring support 18 to rotate at high speed inside the polymerization reactor, forming a three-dimensional turbulent mixing field. The stirring support 18 is located inside the polymerization reactor tank 1. A bearing seat 19 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the polymerization reactor tank 1. The lower end of the stirring shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bearing seat 19. When the stirring motor 16 is started, it drives the stirring shaft 17 to drive the stirring support 18 to rotate at high speed inside the polymerization reactor, forming a three-dimensional turbulent mixing field.

[0026] During the transport process, the control check valve 13 and the opening and closing check valve 14 work together to form a bidirectional flow path. The initiator flows downward along the inclined angle of the lower section of the inlet pipe 4, using gravity to reduce adhesion to the pipe wall.

Finally, the initiator is injected into the tank through the double-pass pipe 5.
[0027] In summary, this device, through segmented inclined pipes and a spiral flow guiding structure, generates a spiral propulsion force for the fluid, eliminating the fluid stagnation zone found in traditional straight pipe sections. Simultaneously, the elastically connected annular scraper system 11 utilizes fluid kinetic energy for self-driven cleaning, improving cleaning efficiency without additional energy consumption. Furthermore, electric heating effectively suppresses low-temperature crystallization. This technical solution, through the organic combination of fluid dynamics optimization and temperature control, provides a reliable anti-clogging solution for continuous chemical production, and is particularly suitable for the precise addition of high-viscosity, easily crystallizing materials.
