[0065] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example
[0066] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 A cottonseed oil extraction solvent purification and recovery device includes: an extraction tank 1; a heat insulation shell 2, fixedly installed on the outer wall of the extraction tank 1; an electric heater 3, installed between the extraction tank 1 and the heat insulation shell 2; a stirring mechanism 4, installed on the extraction tank 1; a feeding assembly 5, disposed on the extraction tank 1; a mounting frame 6, disposed on one side of the extraction tank 1; a cyclone separator 7, fixedly installed on the mounting frame 6; a connecting assembly 8, disposed on the extraction tank 1; and a first gas conveying assembly 9, disposed between the extraction tank 1 and the cyclone separator 7, wherein the extraction tank 1 and the cyclone separator 7 are connected by a first gas conveying assembly 9. A gas delivery assembly 9 is connected to the flash evaporator 10, which is located in front of the feed assembly 5; a second gas delivery assembly 11 is located on the mounting frame 6, and the cyclone separator 7 is connected to the flash evaporator 10 through the second gas delivery assembly 11; a filter assembly 12 is located on one side of the flash evaporator 10; a first liquid delivery assembly 13 is located on the filter assembly 12, and the filter assembly 12 is connected to the flash evaporator 10 through the first liquid delivery assembly 13; a liquid level detection assembly 14 is located on the outer wall of the heat insulation shell 2, and one end of the liquid level detection assembly 14 extends to the inner side of the extraction tank 1.
[0067] This utility model provides a cottonseed oil extraction solvent purification and recovery device. In use, the extraction solvent is added to the extraction tank 1 via the feeding component 5. The liquid level detection component 14 manually monitors the solvent level in the extraction tank 1 to prevent overflow. The solvent in the extraction tank 1 is then heated by the electric heater 3. Next, the first gas delivery component 9 is activated, which, in conjunction with the connecting component 8, delivers steam to the cyclone separator 7 for centrifugal separation. Then, the second gas delivery component 11 delivers the separated gas to the flash evaporator 10. The gas undergoes secondary filtration through a screen in the flash evaporator 10. Afterward, liquid nitrogen on the bottom wall of the flash evaporator 10 condenses and liquefies the gas entering the condenser. Finally, the first liquid delivery component 13 is activated, allowing the condensed gas to enter the filter component 12 for further filtration, resulting in a purer solvent. This allows the recovered solvent to be reused in the next extraction, saving energy and resources.
[0068] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 5 includes:
[0069] The feed hopper 51 is fixedly installed through the extraction tank 1;
[0070] The filter screen 52 is located inside the feed hopper 51;
[0071] L-shaped frame 53 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of feed hopper 51;
[0072] The cover plate 54 is positioned above the feed hopper 51, and one end of the cover plate 54 is connected to the L-shaped frame 53 by a pin.
[0073] Specifically, the solvent is fed into the extraction tank 1 through the feed hopper 51. As it enters, the solvent is initially filtered by the filter screen 52. Then, when the electric heater 3 heats the solvent in the extraction tank 1, the cover plate 54 connected by the pin on the L-shaped frame 53 is closed, thereby sealing the opening at the top of the feed hopper 51 and preventing the steam generated after heating from being discharged from the feed hopper 51.
[0074] Furthermore, the liquid level detection component 14 includes:
[0075] There are two fixing brackets 1401, which are symmetrically fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the heat insulation shell 2.
[0076] There are two connecting blocks 1402, and the two connecting blocks 1402 are respectively located in the middle of the two fixing brackets 1401;
[0077] Steel wire rope 1403 is fixedly installed on the top of connecting block 1402;
[0078] I-beam 1404 is fixedly installed on top of the fixed frame 1401;
[0079] Fixed pulley 1405 is rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of I-beam frame 1404;
[0080] A floating plate 1406 is set inside the extraction tank 1, and the other end of the steel wire rope 1403 passes through the fixed pulley 1405 and the round hole on the extraction tank 1 and is fixedly connected to the floating plate 1406.
[0081] Two pairs of pressure sensors 1407 are provided, and the two pairs of pressure sensors 1407 are fixedly installed on the transverse sections of the two fixing brackets 1401 respectively.
[0082] Specifically, when solvent enters the extraction tank 1, the floating plate 1406 floats with the solvent, and then the connecting block 1402 at the other end of the wire rope 1403 descends stably in the fixed frame 1401. When the bottom of the fixed frame 1401 contacts the pressure sensor 1407 on the inner bottom wall of the fixed frame 1401, the pressure sensor 1407 immediately inputs the pressure signal to the external control device, and the external buzzer at the inlet immediately sounds a horn, thereby reminding the staff to stop feeding and avoid overflow.
[0083] Furthermore, the floating plate 1406 is annular, and multiple floating blocks are fixedly installed in a circular array at the bottom of the floating plate 1406.
[0084] Specifically, the floating plate 1406 is annular to avoid affecting the rotation and stirring of the stirring mechanism 4. Then, through the multiple floating blocks at the bottom of the floating plate 1406, the floating effect of the floating plate 1406 can be improved.
[0085] Furthermore, the first gas delivery assembly 9 includes:
[0086] Fan 91 is fixedly installed on a U-shaped frame on one side of mounting bracket 6;
[0087] The exhaust pipe 92 is fixedly connected to the input end of the fan 91, and the other end of the exhaust pipe 92 is connected to the connecting assembly 8.
[0088] The air supply pipe 93 is fixedly connected to the output end of the fan 91, and the other end of the air supply pipe 93 is connected to the air inlet end of the cyclone separator 7.
[0089] Specifically, the steam in the extraction tank 1 can be extracted by the blower 91, the extraction pipe 92 and the connecting component 8, and then, with the cooperation of the gas supply pipe 93, the extracted steam can enter the cyclone separator 7 for centrifugal separation.
[0090] Additionally, it should be noted that the structural parts of the second gas delivery assembly 11 are the same as those of the first gas delivery assembly 9, so they will not be described in detail.
[0091] Furthermore, the connection component 8 includes:
[0092] Two inverted L-shaped rods 81 are provided, and the two inverted L-shaped rods 81 are symmetrically and fixedly installed on the extraction tank 1;
[0093] The three-way connector 82 is fixedly installed on the two inverted L-shaped rods 81, and the end of the exhaust pipe 92 away from the fan 91 is connected to the three-way connector 82.
[0094] Specifically, by using the L-shaped rod 81 and the three-way connector 82, the extraction area of the first gas delivery assembly 9 can be increased, thereby improving the recovery efficiency. Example
[0095] Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment: the second infusion assembly 15 is disposed on the connecting frame on the outside of the heat insulation shell 2, and the extraction tank 1 and the feeding assembly 5 are connected through the second infusion assembly 15. The second infusion assembly 15 includes: a delivery pump 1501, which is fixedly installed on the connecting frame on the outer wall of the heat insulation shell 2; an extraction tube 1502, which is fixedly connected to the input end of the delivery pump 1501, and the other end of the delivery pump 1501 is connected to the extraction tank 1; and a delivery tube 1503, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the delivery pump 1501, and the other end of the delivery pump 1501 is connected to the feeding assembly 5.
[0096] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows: the solvent in the lower part of the extraction tank 1 is extracted by the delivery pump 1501 and the extraction pipe 1502, and then the solvent re-enters the feeding assembly 5 through the delivery pipe 1503, and flows into the extraction tank 1 again from the feeding assembly 5, thereby enabling the solvent to be circulated and evaporated for purification, which further improves the heating and purification effect of the solvent.
[0097] Additionally, it should be noted that the structural components of the first infusion assembly 13 are the same as those of the second infusion assembly 15, so they will not be described in detail.
[0098] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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 shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
