Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of acid separator protection devices, and in particular to an acid separator anti-splash device. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production processes such as chemical and acid production, acid distributors are key equipment for achieving uniform distribution of acid solution. Their performance directly affects process efficiency and equipment safety. When a tubular acid distributor is working, the acid solution needs to be evenly distributed to the packing layer through the branch pipe to achieve the acid distribution effect. However, traditional tubular acid distributors still have certain shortcomings in actual use.
[0003] Traditional tubular acid separators often experience high acid flow rates during operation, leading to acid splashing at high speeds from the separation point. This splashing, caused by impact or gas disturbance, results in uneven acid distribution and reduced absorption efficiency. Traditionally, baffles are installed at the separation point to block splashing, but this does not fundamentally solve the problem. In actual use, acid still splashes, affecting the quality of acid separation.
[0004] Therefore, an anti-splash device for acid separators is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an acid separator anti-splash device, including a main pipe 1. Multiple branch pipes 2 are installed at both ends of the main pipe 1. The acid in the main pipe 1 is separated through the multiple branch pipes 2. A feed pipe 3 for acid entry is fixedly connected through and to the upper surface of the main pipe 1. The main pipe 1, multiple branch pipes 2, and feed pipe 3 together form a tubular acid separator. A connecting flange 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the feed pipe 3 to facilitate connection between the device and external pipelines. A flow control mechanism is installed inside the feed pipe 3 to adjust the flow path of the acid, thereby changing the flow rate and preventing splashing caused by excessive flow. The flow can be adjusted according to the type of acid. A flow slowing component is installed inside the branch pipes 2 to slow down the flow rate of the acid and prevent splashing caused by the high flow rate when the acid is discharged from the through hole 73.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3The flow control mechanism includes a flow guiding assembly, which includes a rotating ring 51. The rotating ring 51 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the feed pipe 3. The centers of the rotating ring 51 and the feed pipe 3 are located on the same axis. A guide block 52, which provides guidance for the connecting rod 56, is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the rotating ring 51. A rotating shaft 54 is rotatably connected through the inner surface of the feed pipe 3. A flow guide plate 53 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the rotating shaft 54. The rear end of the rotating shaft 54 is fixed at the center position of the front end of the flow guide plate 53. The two rotate around the center of the rotating shaft 54. One end of a connecting plate 55 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the flow guide plate 53. 5 is elongated. The end of the front surface of the connecting plate 55 away from the flow guide plate 53 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 56. The flow control mechanism also includes a positioning component, which includes a handwheel 61 that is easy to grip. The rear surface of the handwheel 61 is fixedly connected to a screw 62. The screw 62 is existing technology and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. Since it is existing technology, it will not be described in detail in this case. The screw 62 passes through and is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the rotating ring 51. The front surface of the feed pipe 3 is provided with an insertion hole 63. The rear end of the screw 62 fits into the insertion hole 63. Multiple sets of insertion holes 63 are provided, and the spacing is the same.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 The guide block 52 has a through slot in the middle and a cylindrical protrusion at the bottom. The cylindrical protrusion rotates on the upper surface of the rotating ring 51. The connecting rod 56 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide block 52. When the guide block 52 moves with the rotation of the rotating ring 51, it will squeeze the connecting rod 56, thereby driving the connecting plate 55, the diverting plate 53 and the rotating shaft 54 to rotate around the center of the rotating shaft 54. The diverting plate 53 will tilt, thereby changing the size of the flow path. The diverting plate 53 is fan-shaped. The rear end edge of the screw 62 has a chamfer. The rear end of the screw 62 is inserted into the inner wall of the insertion hole 63. The chamfer facilitates the insertion of the screw 62 and the insertion hole 63, thereby limiting the rotation ring 51 and the diverting plate 53.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 The flow-slowing component includes a first guide plate 71, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the branch pipe 2. A second guide plate 72 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top end of the branch pipe 2. Both the first guide plate 71 and the second guide plate 72 can block the acid and slow down the flow rate. A through hole 73 is opened through the right surface of the branch pipe 2. The acid will eventually be discharged from the through hole 73 to achieve the acid separation effect. The diameter of the right end of the branch pipe 2 is larger than the diameter of the left end of the branch pipe 2. The diameter of the left end can be reduced (flow restriction) to avoid the flow rate being too fast. The large diameter of the right end can achieve the flow storage effect, which can further slow down the flow rate and avoid splashing. The first guide plate 71 is set in an inclined shape with the left side lower and the right side higher, and the second guide plate 72 is set in an inclined shape with the left side higher and the right side lower.
[0036] Working principle: First, rotating the rotating ring 51 drives the guide block 52 to move. The moving guide block 52 will squeeze the connecting rod 56, which in turn drives the connecting plate 55, the rotating shaft 54, and the diversion plate 53 to rotate around the center of the rotating shaft 54. When the diversion plate 53 is adjusted to a suitable angle, the rear end of the screw 62 will also align with the corresponding insertion hole 63. Then, rotating the handwheel 61 drives the screw 62 to rotate. Gradually, the screw 62 will move backward and insert into the insertion hole 63, limiting the rotating ring 51 and the diversion plate 53 to ensure that the flow path remains stable. If adjustments are needed later according to different types of acid, rotate the handwheel 61 in the opposite direction to move the screw 62 forward and disengage it from the insertion hole 63 to release the limitation, and then make the adjustment.
[0037] Then, the acid is added to the main pipe 1 from the feed pipe 3 and flows into the branch pipe 2. When the acid flows in the branch pipe 2, it will be blocked and deflected twice by the first guide plate 71 and the second guide plate 72. After the kinetic energy is consumed, the flow rate decreases. Since the branch pipe 2 is set to be smaller on the left and larger on the right, the flow rate can be further slowed down to avoid splashing caused by the high speed of the acid flowing out from the feed pipe 3 later.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
