Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material handling technology, and in particular to a rotating cone distillation column and its residue treatment equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary conical distillation columns are highly efficient liquid-gas contact devices widely used in the extraction of volatile substances from products such as tea, dried flowers, red wine, fruits, and coffee. During distillation, the product flows from top to bottom through the rotating conical distillation column, while the steam exchanges heat with the material from bottom to top, causing the volatile substances in the product to evaporate and be collected from the top. The processed product slurry is then discharged from the bottom of the column.

[0003] In existing technologies, the product slurry discharged from the bottom of a distillation column typically contains a large amount of solid residue and liquid components, requiring solid-liquid separation. Traditional residue treatment methods have the following problems:

[0004] The existing residue collection device has a fixed structure and cannot be flexibly moved to different working positions according to production needs, which makes material transfer difficult and increases the complexity of operation and labor intensity.

[0005] In traditional filtration equipment, the filter media is difficult to replace and clean quickly. When the filter bag or filter screen is clogged, the machine needs to be stopped for complicated disassembly and installation, which seriously affects production efficiency.

[0006] The existing drainage system is poorly designed, and the filtered liquid cannot be completely drained, which easily accumulates at the bottom of the equipment. This not only affects the next use, but may also cause liquid deterioration and equipment corrosion.

[0007] The collection and transfer of solid residues lack convenient operating methods, requiring workers to directly handle the residues for manual transfer, which is not only unhygienic and increases labor intensity, but also poses safety hazards.

[0008] These technical problems result in the inefficiency and inconvenience of existing residue treatment methods, which cannot meet the requirements of modern production for equipment flexibility, ease of operation and processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rotating cone distillation column and its residue treatment equipment, which aims to solve the problems of collecting, filtering and transferring slurry containing solid residues generated during distillation and other processes.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rotating cone distillation column and its residue treatment equipment, comprising:

[0011] Carrier frame;

[0012] A filter assembly is disposed on the carrier frame, the filter assembly including a perforated support plate and a filter bag disposed above the support plate;

[0013] A drainage assembly, located below the support plate, is used to drain the liquid filtered through the support plate.

[0014] Optionally, the carrier frame is provided with a hook for suspending the first handle of the filter bag.

[0015] Optionally, the support plate includes two separate plates, each with a second handle at both ends.

[0016] Optionally, both ends of the support plate are bent downwards.

[0017] Optionally, the support plate is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0018] Optionally, the carrier frame includes a load-bearing beam, and the support plate is mounted on the load-bearing beam.

[0019] Optionally, the drainage assembly includes a valve disposed below the support plate, the valve being used to control the discharge of filtered liquid.

[0020] Optionally, the drainage assembly further includes an inclined guide plate that guides the filtered liquid to the lowest point, and the valve is located at the lowest point.

[0021] Optionally, the carrier frame is a movable structure, with casters at the bottom and handrails on the carrier frame.

[0022] This utility model also provides a rotary cone distillation column, including the residue treatment equipment described above.

[0023] This invention discloses a rotating conical distillation column and its residue treatment equipment. Through the organic combination of a carrier frame, a filtration assembly, and a drainage assembly, it achieves integrated treatment of slurry containing solid residue. The carrier frame provides a stable support platform for the entire device. The perforated support plate in the filtration assembly works with the filter bag to achieve solid-liquid separation. The drainage assembly ensures that the filtered liquid can be effectively discharged. With its simple structure and complete functions, it significantly improves the efficiency and convenience of residue treatment, solving the problems of cumbersome operation and low efficiency in traditional treatment methods.

[0024] The filter bags are hung by hooks, ensuring they are fully opened and stably secured. The split support plate design facilitates installation and disassembly, and the second handle makes operation convenient. The downward-bent plate ends and reinforcing ribs improve load-bearing capacity. The inclined design of the guide plate and the valve's placement at the lowest point ensure complete liquid discharge. The movable structure, combined with casters and handrails, allows the entire equipment to be flexibly moved to different workstations, greatly improving its practicality and ease of operation.

[0034] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the invention described herein while still achieving its advantageous effects. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0035] The present invention will be described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This utility model embodiment provides a residue treatment device; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 It includes a carrier frame 1, a filter assembly 2, and a drainage assembly.

[0038] The carrier frame 1 is the basic structure supporting the entire device. In this embodiment, the carrier frame 1 is constructed of welded square steel, which has good load-bearing capacity and structural stability.

[0039] For further details, please refer to... Figure 2 - Figure 4 The carrier frame 1 is a movable structure with casters at the bottom. The casters include directional casters 13 and swivel casters 14. The directional casters 13 are used for stability during linear movement, and the swivel casters 14 are used for flexible steering. The two are used together to enable flexible movement of the equipment in the workplace.

[0040] Furthermore, the upper end of the carrier frame 1 is provided with a handrail 11, which facilitates the operator to push and pull the mobile equipment, improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0041] The carrier frame 1 also includes a support beam 12, which is arranged laterally inside the carrier frame 1 to provide a stable support foundation for the filter assembly 2.

[0042] Furthermore, the load-bearing crossbeam 12 is made of square steel, which has sufficient load-bearing strength to withstand the weight of the loaded materials.

[0043] Furthermore, the filter assembly 2 is sleeved in the carrier frame 1, and the filter assembly 2 includes a perforated support plate 22 and a filter bag 21 disposed above the support plate 22.

[0044] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3 The support plate 22 is mounted on the load-bearing beam 12, and the support plate 22 can stably bear the weight of the material through the support of the load-bearing beam 12.

[0045] For further details, please refer to... Figure 5 - Figure 7The support plate 22 is made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, and is suitable for processing various chemical materials. The support plate 22 has uniformly distributed filter holes 221. The diameter of the filter holes 221 is determined according to the particle size of the material to be filtered, generally 2–10 mm, which can effectively achieve solid-liquid separation.

[0046] In another specific example, the filter holes 221 of the support plate 22 can be arranged in different ways. In one specific example, the filter holes 221 can be arranged in a hexagonal pattern, which has a higher porosity than the traditional square arrangement, thus improving filtration efficiency. The filter holes 221 can also adopt a conical hole design; the conical structure, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, can prevent particle clogging and improve self-cleaning ability.

[0047] The support plate 22 comprises two separate plates, each with a second handle 222 at both ends. The core advantage of this separate design is its ease of installation and disassembly, solving the technical problem of removing the integral support plate 22 from the carrier frame 1. When cleaning or replacing the support plate 22, operators can easily remove individual plates using the second handles 222, greatly improving maintenance efficiency.

[0048] To enhance load-bearing capacity, the support plate 22 is provided with reinforcing ribs 223, which are arranged along the width of the plate to prevent the support plate 22 from bending and deforming when bearing heavy objects. At the same time, both ends of the support plate 22 are bent downward to form bent edges. These bent edges not only enhance the structural strength of the plate but also help guide the flow of materials and prevent materials from accumulating at the edges of the plate.

[0049] In another specific example, the reinforcing ribs 223 can be arranged in a cross pattern to form a grid-like reinforcing structure, further improving the load-bearing capacity and deformation resistance of the support plate 22.

[0050] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 The filter bag 21 is disposed above the support plate 22 and is used to collect solid residue.

[0051] In one specific example, the filter bag 21 is made of corrosion-resistant polypropylene or polyester fiber material, which has good filtration performance and chemical stability.

[0052] In another specific example, the filter bag 21 can adopt a multi-layer composite structure, with an inner fine filtration layer and an outer support layer. This structure can improve the service life of the filter bag 21 while ensuring filtration accuracy.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 8The filter bag 21 is equipped with a first handle 211 for easy removal and replacement. The carrier frame 1 is provided with a hook 15 for suspending the first handle 211 of the filter bag 21, ensuring that the filter bag 21 remains open during use and improving filtration efficiency. The hook 15 solves the technical problem of the filter bag 21 easily collapsing and affecting the filtration effect.

[0054] The drainage assembly is located below the support plate 22 and is used to drain the liquid filtered by the support plate 22.

[0055] In one specific example, the drainage assembly includes a valve 31 disposed below the support plate 22, the valve 31 being used to control the discharge of filtered liquid. In this embodiment, the valve 31 is a ball valve, which features rapid opening and closing and good sealing performance.

[0056] The drainage assembly also includes an inclined guide plate 32, which guides the filtered liquid to the lowest point, where the valve 31 is located. The inclination angle of the guide plate 32 is 3-15 degrees, ensuring that the liquid flows completely to the valve 31 while avoiding excessive angle that could affect equipment stability. This design ensures that the filtered liquid is completely discharged, preventing residual liquid from affecting subsequent operations or causing contamination.

[0057] In one specific example, the valve 31 can be connected to a pipe or hose to guide the filtered liquid to a designated location for collection or discharge. The connection method of the pipe or hose adopts a standard threaded connection, which is a common practice for those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] In another specific example, the drainage assembly may further include a liquid level sensor, which automatically opens valve 31 to drain the liquid when the liquid level reaches a preset height, thereby achieving automated operation. The installation and control system of the liquid level sensor is a common practice among those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0059] In another specific example, the carrier frame 1 can be made of aluminum alloy, which has the advantages of being lighter and more corrosion-resistant than square steel. The casters can be made of polyurethane, which has better shock absorption and ground adaptability.

[0060] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: the movable design of the carrier frame 1 enables flexible deployment of the equipment; the split support plate 22 design solves the problem of difficult maintenance; the hook 15 design ensures the effective opening of the filter bag 21; the inclined guide plate 32 and the lowest point valve 31 design ensure the complete discharge of liquid, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of residue treatment as a whole.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] This embodiment provides a rotary cone distillation column, including a column body and a residue treatment device disposed at the bottom of the column body.

[0063] The rotary cone distillation column is a unique and highly efficient liquid-gas contact column that can capture volatile substances in products such as tea, dried flowers, red wine, fruit, and coffee. The rotary cone distillation column can process both liquid and solid products, in which case the feed is a slurry of solid and liquid.

[0064] The rotating conical distillation column contains both a fixed cone and a rotating cone. As the rotating cone rotates, the slurry forms a thin film on its surface; under gravity, a thin film forms on the fixed cone. The product flows downwards through the rotating conical distillation column, while steam flows upwards. Heat exchange occurs between the steam and the slurry, causing volatile substances in the product to evaporate and be collected at the top. The product slurry is discharged from the bottom of the column.

[0065] The residue treatment equipment includes a carrier frame 1, a filter assembly 2, and a drainage assembly, used to treat the product slurry discharged from the bottom of the tower. The residue treatment equipment can be the residue treatment equipment described in Embodiment 1 above.

[0066] During operation, the product slurry discharged from the bottom of the rotating cone distillation column directly enters the filter bag 21 of the residue treatment equipment, where solid-liquid separation is achieved through the filter holes 221 of the support plate 22. The solid residue is collected by the filter bag 21, and the filtered liquid is discharged through the drain assembly. This configuration achieves a seamless connection between the distillation process and residue treatment, greatly improving the automation level and processing efficiency of the overall process.

[0067] The mobility of the residue processing equipment allows it to be flexibly adjusted according to the layout of the rotary conical distillation column, adapting to different process requirements. After a batch is processed, the equipment filled with residue can be quickly moved away and replaced with new equipment, enabling continuous operation.

[0068] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows: the integrated design of the rotary cone distillation column and the residue treatment equipment realizes a complete process flow; the convenience of the residue treatment equipment significantly improves the overall process operation efficiency; and the mobile design makes the equipment layout more flexible, meeting the needs of different scales of production.

[0069] In summary, this utility model discloses a rotary cone distillation column and its residue treatment equipment. Through the organic combination of a carrier frame, a filter assembly, and a drainage assembly, a complete rotary cone distillation column residue treatment system is constructed. Its mobility allows the equipment to flexibly adapt to the needs of different workstations, improving the flexibility of the production line; the split design reduces maintenance time from several hours to tens of minutes, significantly reducing downtime costs; the complete drainage design avoids secondary pollution and material waste caused by liquid residue; and the hook suspension mechanism ensures effective opening of the filter bags, improving solid-liquid separation efficiency. This utility model provides an efficient and convenient residue treatment solution for the industrial application of rotary cone distillation columns and has practical value.

[0070] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
