Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of chemical equipment and heating devices, specifically a modular heating shell for a glass-lined reaction vessel. Background Technology

[0002] In the use of glass-lined reaction vessels, heating efficiency and uniformity are crucial factors affecting the stability of the reaction process and product quality. Currently, most heating devices on the market adopt an integrated design or a simple external heating method. While these can meet heating requirements to some extent, their structural designs often lack flexibility and are difficult to adapt to reaction vessels of different sizes and shapes. Furthermore, these heating devices typically require significant time and labor costs for installation, maintenance, and replacement.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent (application number: 202110254321.X) discloses a "heating device for a reaction vessel," which, in its specification, includes a heating outer shell. An electric heating tube is installed inside the heating outer shell and connected to the inner wall of the outer shell via a fixed bracket. An insulation layer is provided on the outer side of the outer shell, and a protective cover is also provided outside the insulation layer. The protective cover is fixedly connected to the outer shell by bolts, and a support foot is provided at the bottom of the outer shell, which is connected to the outer shell by welding. This application improves heating efficiency and extends the service life of the equipment by optimizing the design of the insulation layer and the protective cover; the aforementioned patent can demonstrate the limitations of the prior art.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing a modular heating shell for a glass-lined reaction vessel. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of the lack of flexibility in the structural design of existing glass-lined reaction vessel heating devices, their difficulty in adapting to reaction vessels of various specifications and shapes, and the complexity of installation and maintenance.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives and address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a modular heating shell for a glass-lined reaction vessel, comprising a heating module assembly and a fixing and adjusting assembly. The heating module assembly consists of multiple independent heating units, each connected to the fixing and adjusting assembly via a connector. The fixing and adjusting assembly includes a support frame and an adjusting mechanism. The support frame supports the heating module assembly, and the adjusting mechanism, located inside the support frame, adjusts the position and angle of the heating module assembly to accommodate reaction vessels of different specifications.

[0007] The heating module assembly includes several heating units, each consisting of a heat-conducting plate, an embedded heating element, and a heat insulation layer. The heat-conducting plate is a rectangular metal plate with grooves on its inner surface. The embedded heating element is fitted into these grooves and fixed to the heat-conducting plate with screws. The heat insulation layer covers the outer surface of the heat-conducting plate and is bonded to it with an adhesive. The heating units are interconnected via snap-fit ​​connectors, each including a protrusion and a recess. The protrusions and recesses of adjacent heating units engage to form a tight connection.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the support frame in the fixed adjustment assembly includes a base and side plates. The base is a rectangular frame structure with mounting holes at its four corners for fixing the support frame to the workbench with bolts. The side plates are vertically welded to both sides of the base, and the inner surface of the side plates is provided with slide rails for cooperating with the adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a slider and an adjustment rod. The slider is slidably connected inside the slide rail, and the top of the slider has a threaded hole. The adjustment rod passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the slider. By rotating the adjustment rod, the slider can be moved along the slide rail, thereby adjusting the position of the heating module assembly.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the heating module assembly is connected to the slider in the fixed adjustment assembly via a connector, the connector including a connecting arm and a locking bolt. One end of the connecting arm is connected to the heat-conducting plate of the heating unit via a hinge, and the other end is fixed to the slider via the locking bolt; the hinge design allows the heating unit to rotate within a certain range to adapt to the curved shape of the reaction vessel.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the base of the support frame is provided with an elastic buffer pad, which is fixed to the bottom surface of the base by adhesive, in order to absorb the vibration generated during the heating process and reduce the impact on the worktable.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, baffles are provided at both ends of the slide rail. The baffles are fixed to the side plate by screws to limit the movement range of the slider and prevent the slider from falling off the slide rail.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the end of the adjusting rod is provided with a handwheel, which is fixed to the adjusting rod by a key connection, so as to facilitate manual operation of the adjusting rod for position adjustment.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the outer surface of the heat-conducting plate is provided with a temperature sensor mounting hole, which is located in the edge area of ​​the heat insulation layer and is used to install a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature change during the heating process in real time.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] Through the design of the heating module assembly and the fixing and adjusting assembly, multiple independent heating units are assembled into a complete heating module assembly via snap-fit ​​connectors. The heating area can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the reaction vessel. Simultaneously, the sliding rails and adjusting rods in the fixing and adjusting assembly work together to precisely adjust the position and angle of the heating module assembly, ensuring a tight fit between the heating unit and the reaction vessel surface, thereby improving heating efficiency and uniformity. Furthermore, the hinge design in the connectors allows the heating unit to rotate within a certain range, further enhancing its adaptability to curved reaction vessels. This structural design significantly reduces the difficulty of installation and maintenance, solving the problem of existing heating device designs lacking flexibility and being unable to adapt to reaction vessels of various sizes and shapes.

[0022] This utility model relates to a modular heating shell for a glass-lined reaction vessel, as detailed below. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The accompanying drawings and reference numerals will provide a detailed description of the specific embodiments of this utility model. For example... Figure 1As shown, the overall structure includes a heating module assembly 1 and a fixing and adjusting assembly 2, which are connected to each other by connectors 15 to form a complete device. The heating module assembly 1 consists of multiple independent heating units 3, each of which is connected to an adjacent heating unit 3 by a snap-fit ​​connector 7. The fixing and adjusting assembly 2 includes a support frame 8 and an adjusting mechanism 9, which are used to support and adjust the position and angle of the heating module assembly 1.

[0023] The heating unit 3 in heating module assembly 1 is the core component, and its structure is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Each heating unit 3 includes a heat-conducting plate 4, an embedded heating element 5, and a heat insulation layer 6. The heat-conducting plate 4 is a rectangular metal plate with grooves on its inner surface. The embedded heating element 5 is embedded in the grooves and fixed to the heat-conducting plate 4 with screws. The heat insulation layer 6 covers the outer surface of the heat-conducting plate 4 and is bonded to the heat-conducting plate 4 with adhesive. Multiple heating units 3 are connected by snap-fit ​​connectors 7, which include protrusions and recesses. The protrusions and recesses of two adjacent heating units 3 cooperate with each other to form a tight connection. This connection method allows the heating module assembly 1 to be flexibly assembled or disassembled according to actual needs to adapt to reaction vessels of different sizes and shapes.

[0024] The structure of the fixed adjustment component 2 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the support frame 8 includes a base 10 and side plates 11. The base 10 is a rectangular frame structure with mounting holes at its four corners for fixing the support frame 8 to the workbench with bolts. The side plates 11 are vertically welded to both sides of the base 10. A slide rail 12 is provided on the inner surface of the side plates 11, which engages with the slider 13 in the adjustment mechanism 9. The slider 13 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 12. A threaded hole is provided at the top of the slider 13, through which an adjusting rod 14 passes and is threadedly connected to the slider 13. By rotating the adjusting rod 14, the slider 13 moves along the slide rail 12, thereby adjusting the position of the heating module assembly 1. Baffles 20 are provided at both ends of the slide rail 12, and the baffles 20 are fixed to the side plates 11 with screws to limit the range of movement of the slider 13 and prevent the slider 13 from disengaging from the slide rail 12.

[0025] The heating module assembly 1 is connected to the slider 13 in the fixed adjustment assembly 2 via a connector 15, which includes a connecting arm 16 and a locking bolt 17. Figure 4As shown, one end of the connecting arm 16 is connected to the heat-conducting plate 4 of the heating unit 3 via a hinge 18, and the other end is fixed to the slider 13 via a locking bolt 17. The hinge 18 is designed to allow the heating unit 3 to rotate within a certain range to adapt to the curved shape of the reaction vessel. This design allows the heating unit 3 to fit tightly against the surface of the reaction vessel, ensuring uniform heating. In addition, a handwheel 21 is provided at the end of the adjusting rod 14. The handwheel 21 is fixed to the adjusting rod 14 via a key connection, facilitating manual operation of the adjusting rod 14 for position adjustment.

[0026] To improve the stability and lifespan of the equipment, an elastic buffer pad 19 is provided inside the base 10 of the support frame 8. The elastic buffer pad 19 is fixed to the bottom surface of the base 10 by adhesive, which is used to absorb the vibration generated during heating and reduce the impact on the worktable. Meanwhile, a temperature sensor mounting hole 22 is provided on the outer surface of the heat-conducting plate 4, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the temperature sensor mounting hole 22 is located at the edge of the insulation layer 6 and is used to mount a temperature sensor to monitor temperature changes during the heating process in real time. This design helps to precisely control the heating temperature and avoid affecting the performance of the reaction vessel due to excessively high or low temperatures.

[0027] In practical applications, the support frame 8 is first fixed to the workbench via the mounting holes on the base 10. Then, an appropriate number of heating units 3 are selected according to the size and shape of the reaction vessel, and assembled into a complete heating module assembly 1 using snap-fit ​​connectors 7. Next, the heating module assembly 1 is connected to the slider 13 via connectors 15, ensuring that the heat-conducting plate 4 of each heating unit 3 can be adjusted in angle via hinges 18. Subsequently, rotating the handwheel 21 drives the adjusting rod 14 to rotate, causing the slider 13 to move along the slide rail 12, thereby adjusting the position of the heating module assembly 1 to ensure it fits tightly against the surface of the reaction vessel. Finally, a temperature sensor is installed in the temperature sensor mounting hole 22, and the embedded heating element 5 is activated to begin heating.

[0028] During the heating process, the embedded heating element 5 transfers heat to the heat-conducting plate 4, which then conducts the heat to the surface of the reaction vessel. The insulation layer 6 reduces heat loss and improves heating efficiency. Since the heating units 3 are connected by snap-fit ​​connectors 7, the number of heating units 3 can be increased or decreased as needed to accommodate reaction vessels of different sizes. Simultaneously, the position and angle of the heating module assembly 1 can be precisely adjusted using the slider 13 and adjusting rod 14 in the adjusting mechanism 9, ensuring that the heating unit 3 remains in close contact with the surface of the reaction vessel.

[0029] The elastic buffer pad 19 acts as a shock absorber during heating, preventing poor contact between the heating unit 3 and the reaction vessel due to equipment vibration. The baffle 20 effectively limits the movement range of the slider 13, preventing it from disengaging from the slide rail 12 and further improving the stability of the equipment. The temperature sensor monitors the heating temperature in real time through the temperature sensor mounting hole 22 and feeds the data back to the control system for timely adjustment of the heating power, ensuring the safety and reliability of the heating process.

[0030] As can be seen from the above embodiments, this utility model realizes the flexible assembly and disassembly of the heating module component 1 through modular design, and at the same time realizes the position and angle adjustment of the heating module component 1 by using the fixed adjustment component 2, thus solving the problems of poor adaptability and complex installation and maintenance of heating devices in the prior art.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the following supplementary explanation of the specific implementation principle of this utility model is provided in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

[0032] In actual operation, the support frame 8 is first fixed to the workbench through the mounting holes on the base 10 to ensure the stability of the entire device. The elastic buffer pad 19 inside the base 10 can effectively absorb the vibration generated during heating, reducing the impact on the workbench and thus improving the smoothness of equipment operation. Subsequently, an appropriate number of heating units 3 are selected according to the size and shape of the reaction vessel, and they are assembled into a complete heating module assembly 1 using snap-fit ​​connectors 7. The protrusions and recesses of the snap-fit ​​connectors 7 cooperate with each other to form a tight connection, which not only simplifies the assembly process but also ensures the heat conduction efficiency between the heating units 3.

[0033] Next, the assembled heating module assembly 1 is connected to the slider 13 via connector 15. The connecting arm 16 in connector 15 is connected to the heat-conducting plate 4 via hinge 18. The hinge 18 is designed to allow the heating unit 3 to rotate within a certain range to adapt to the curved shape of the reaction vessel. This design allows the heat-conducting plate 4 to fit tightly against the surface of the reaction vessel, thereby improving the uniformity of heating. At the same time, locking bolts 17 are used to fix the connecting arm 16 and the slider 13, ensuring that the heating module assembly 1 remains stable when its position is adjusted.

[0034] Subsequently, by manually rotating the handwheel 21, the adjusting rod 14 is rotated. The adjusting rod 14, through a threaded connection, pushes the slider 13 to move along the slide rail 12, thereby adjusting the position of the heating module assembly 1. The baffles 20 at both ends of the slide rail 12 limit the range of movement of the slider 13, preventing it from disengaging from the slide rail 12, further improving the safety and reliability of the equipment. In this way, the position and angle of the heating module assembly 1 can be precisely adjusted, ensuring a tight fit with the surface of the reaction vessel and guaranteeing optimal heating performance.

[0035] After the position adjustment is completed, a temperature sensor is installed in the temperature sensor mounting hole 22 on the outer surface of the heat-conducting plate 4. The temperature sensor mounting hole 22 is located in the edge area of ​​the insulation layer 6, which facilitates real-time monitoring of temperature changes during the heating process. The embedded heating element 5 transfers heat to the heat-conducting plate 4, and the heat-conducting plate 4 then conducts the heat to the surface of the reaction vessel. The function of the insulation layer 6 is to reduce heat loss and improve heating efficiency. The temperature sensor feeds back the monitored temperature data to the control system, which adjusts the power of the embedded heating element 5 in a timely manner according to the set temperature range, thereby achieving precise control of the heating process.

[0036] During the heating process, if it is necessary to adapt to reaction vessels of different specifications or shapes, the heating area can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of heating units 3. Since the heating units 3 are connected by snap-fit ​​connectors 7, the disassembly and assembly process is simple and quick, significantly reducing maintenance costs and time consumption. In addition, the hinge 18 design in the connector 15 allows the heating unit 3 to rotate within a certain range, further enhancing its adaptability to curved reaction vessels.

[0037] As can be seen from the above steps, this utility model utilizes a modular design to achieve flexible assembly and disassembly of the heating module assembly 1. Simultaneously, through the coordinated action of the slide rail 12, slider 13, and adjusting rod 14 in the fixing and adjusting assembly 2, the position and angle of the heating module assembly 1 can be precisely adjusted, ensuring that the heating unit 3 remains in close contact with the surface of the reaction vessel. This design not only improves heating efficiency and uniformity but also significantly reduces the difficulty of equipment installation and maintenance, solving the problems of poor adaptability and complex installation and maintenance of heating devices in the prior art.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
