Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sodium methoxide production technology, and in particular relates to a reaction vessel for sodium methoxide production. Background Technology
[0002] Sodium methoxide production refers to the process of reacting methanol with sodium to produce sodium methoxide (sodium methoxide) through a chemical process. This process is typically carried out in a closed reactor, where the reaction temperature, pressure, and reaction time are controlled to ensure complete reaction between methanol and sodium, producing a high-purity sodium methoxide product. Sodium methoxide is widely used in organic synthesis, catalyst preparation, and pharmaceuticals. Its production process requires strict control of operating conditions to ensure product quality and reaction safety.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a search revealed a patent with publication number CN218741840U that discloses a high-efficiency reaction vessel for sodium methoxide production. The patent describes a system comprising: a main body, supporting legs, a discharge pipe, a sealing mechanism, a liquid inlet pipe, a feed inlet, connecting parts, fixing parts, a motor, a stirring shaft, a stirring component, a conveying assembly, and a control assembly. The main body has three supporting legs at its bottom. The main body communicates with the top of the discharge pipe, and the bottom of the discharge pipe has a sealing mechanism. The main body also communicates with the bottom of the liquid inlet pipe. A feed inlet is located at the top right end of the main body. By incorporating the conveying assembly, after the reaction of the raw materials in the reaction vessel is complete, the drive motor rotates the conveying blades to transport the material from the reaction vessel through the conveying shell to the discharge inlet for collection. This eliminates the need to rely on the fluidity of the liquid within the reaction vessel for self-transportation, making the conveying process more convenient, improving efficiency, and reducing working time.
[0004] However, in the above scheme, when maintenance of the upper tank is required, the disassembly of the upper stirring component of the device is cumbersome, and the disassembly device of the bottom conveying component is also cumbersome. This makes it inconvenient to clean and maintain the entire device, increases downtime, reduces production efficiency, and increases maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0027] This utility model embodiment provides a reaction vessel for sodium methoxide production, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, the reaction vessel for sodium methoxide production includes: a tank body 1; a base frame 2 connected to the bottom of the tank body 1; a stirring assembly 3 assembled inside the tank body 1, which is used for uniform stirring of the material; a mounting assembly 4 assembled between the tank body 1 and the base frame 2, which is used for a stable connection between the tank body 1 and the base frame 2; and an output assembly 5 assembled on the lower side of the base frame 2, which is used for uniformly conveying the stirred material.
[0028] In this embodiment, the material is added into the tank 1 through the feed pipe 302. The first motor 307 drives the first rotating rod 306 to rotate, which drives the stirring blade 308 and the scraper 309 to uniformly stir the material. The scraper 309 scrapes the inner wall of the tank 1. After stirring, the material enters the conveying pipe 502 through the one-way control valve 501 of the base frame 2. The second motor 507 drives the second rotating rod 505 to rotate, which drives the spiral blade 506 to uniformly convey the material to the discharge pipe 504 for output. At the same time, the tank 1 and the base frame 2 are firmly connected by bolts 401 and threaded grooves 402 to achieve structural stability.
[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stirring assembly 3 includes: a top cover 301 threadedly connected to the top of the tank 1, with a feed pipe 302 threadedly connected to one side of the surface of the top cover 301; a slot 303 formed in the inner wall of the tank 1, the inner wall of the slot 303 fitting into the extension end of the mounting bracket 304, a mounting groove 305 formed on one side of the top of the mounting bracket 304, a first rotating rod 306 fitted inside the mounting groove 305, the top of the first rotating rod 306 fitting into the output end of the first motor 307, and a stirring blade 308 and a scraper 309 respectively mounted on one side of the surface of the first rotating rod 306.
[0030] In this embodiment, the material is first added into the tank 1 through the feed pipe 302. The first motor 307 installed inside the tank 1 drives the first rotating rod 306 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring blade 308 and scraper 309 on it to rotate synchronously, so as to achieve full stirring and scraping of the material, ensuring uniform mixing of the material and preventing the material from sticking to the wall. Finally, when the tank 1 needs to be maintained, the top cover 301 is first unscrewed through the threaded connection. When the top cover 301 is removed, the locking end of the slot 303 and the top surface of the mounting bracket 304 will lose the limiting force. By pulling the top of the mounting bracket 304, the stirring parts can be removed and maintenance can begin.
[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top end of the mounting bracket 304 is located in the central area of the top cover 301 and extends through the top cover 301, and the main body of the first motor 307 is located at the top end of the mounting bracket 304.
[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 304 is used to fix the first motor 307 and the first rotating rod 306 to ensure the stable operation of the stirring assembly 3. By engaging with the slot 303, it achieves a stable installation in the tank 1. Finally, with the threaded top cover 301, the stirring assembly 3 can be quickly disassembled.
[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the other side of the scraper 309 is in contact with the inner wall of the tank 1, and the stirring blade 308 is disposed on the inner side of the scraper 309. The stirring blade 308 and the scraper 309 rotate synchronously with the first rotating rod 306.
[0034] In this embodiment, the scraper 309 is attached to the inner wall of the tank 1 to scrape off the attached material, and the stirring blade 308 rotates in coordination to achieve uniform mixing of the material. Both rotate synchronously with the first rotating rod 306 to improve the stirring efficiency.
[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mounting component 4 includes: a bolt 401 threadedly connected to the outer edge of the bottom end of the tank body 1; and a threaded groove 402 formed on the outer edge of the top end of the base frame 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, the mounting component 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 402 by bolts 401, thereby achieving a stable connection between the tank body 1 and the base frame 2, ensuring the stability and reliability of the overall structure during the mixing and conveying process.
[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom end of the bolt 401 is threaded into the threaded groove 402, and six sets of bolts 401 are provided and are distributed at an angle along the tank body 1.
[0038] In this embodiment, bolts 401 are used to securely connect the tank body 1 to the base frame 2. They are embedded in the threaded groove 402 by means of threads to ensure that the structure of the device does not loosen during operation and to improve the overall stability.
[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output component 5 includes: a one-way control valve 501 installed at the discharge end of the base frame 2, a conveying pipe 502 fixedly connected to the lower discharge end of the one-way control valve 501, a rotating groove 503 opened at the other end of the conveying pipe 502, a discharge pipe 504 connected to the end of the side wall of the conveying pipe 502, a second rotating rod 505 installed inside the rotating groove 503, a spiral blade 506 connected to the surface of the second rotating rod 505, and the fitting end of the second rotating rod 505 connected to the output end of the second motor 507.
[0040] In this embodiment, after the mixing is completed, the flow of material is controlled by controlling the one-way control valve 501. The material flows into the conveying pipe 502 from the one-way control valve 501 on the base frame 2. At this time, the second motor 507 installed at the end of the pipe drives the second rotating rod 505 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blade 506 to rotate. The material is pushed forward along the conveying pipe 502 by the spiral blade 506 and finally output evenly from the discharge pipe 504.
[0041] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main body of the second motor 507 is installed at the end of the conveying pipe 502, and the second rotating rod 505 forms a mutually rotating structure with the rotating groove 503 through the second motor 507.
[0042] In this embodiment, the second motor 507 drives the second rotating rod 505 to rotate, which in turn drives the spiral blade 506 to push the material along the conveying pipe 502, thereby achieving uniform output and efficient conveying of the material.
[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, one side of the surface of the spiral blade 506 is in contact with the inner wall of the conveying pipe 502, and the spiral blade 506 and the second rotating rod 505 rotate synchronously.
[0044] In this embodiment, the spiral blade 506 adheres to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 502 and rotates synchronously with the second rotating rod 505, pushing the material along the conveying pipe 502 to achieve uniform and continuous material conveying.
[0045] In summary, the device introduces materials into the tank 1 through the feed pipe 302 of the top cover 301. The first motor 307 drives the stirring assembly 3 to achieve uniform stirring. The mounting assembly 4 securely connects the tank 1 and the base frame 2. The output assembly 5 under the base frame 2 uses the second motor 507 to drive the spiral blade 506 to uniformly transport the stirred materials, achieving efficient and stable material processing and transportation. Finally, the disassembly of each part can be easily and quickly achieved through a simple threaded connection.
