Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of decolorization tank technology, and in particular to a dynamic decolorization tank for fatty acid activated clay. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of fatty acids, the decolorization process is a crucial step, directly affecting the quality and subsequent applications of the fatty acid products. Activated clay, a commonly used decolorizing agent, can effectively adsorb pigments and impurities in fatty acids, while the dynamic decolorization tank is the key equipment for achieving thorough mixing of fatty acids and activated clay to complete the decolorization process.
[0003] Currently, most of the active decolorizing tanks for fatty acid activated clay on the market use a unidirectional stirring method when agitating raw materials. Prolonged unidirectional stirring can easily cause the raw materials to form directional flow inertia in the tank, resulting in some raw materials not being able to fully contact the activated clay. This is especially true in areas such as the edges and bottom of the decolorizing tank, where stirring dead zones are likely to occur, causing uneven mixing of raw materials and thus affecting the decolorization effect and efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of uneven mixing of raw materials when stirring them in the decolorization tank in the existing technology, and to propose a dynamic decolorization tank for fatty acid activated clay.

Support legs are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the decolorizing tank body near the bottom. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the decolorizing tank body. A tank cover is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the decolorizing tank body via a flange. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank cover. A feed pipe is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank cover, and the other end of the feed pipe slides through the cylinder. A pipe cap is threaded onto the outer surface of the feed pipe. Multiple stirring rods arranged in a circumferential array are rotatably installed inside the tank cover. A stirring blade is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each stirring rod. A drive mechanism is provided on the cylinder for driving the multiple stirring rods to reciprocate synchronously.
[0007] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a support ring fixedly connected to the top wall of the cylinder, an annular track is provided inside the support ring, a stepped ring is rotatably installed inside the annular track, and a rotating ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stepped ring.
[0008] Preferably, a gear is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the portion of each stirring rod located above the tank lid, and a first tooth adapted to the gear is fixedly connected inside the rotating ring, and the first tooth meshes with the gear.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-5 A dynamic decolorizing tank for fatty acid activated clay includes a decolorizing tank body 1. A support leg is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the decolorizing tank body 1 near the bottom. A discharge pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the decolorizing tank body 1. A tank cover 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the decolorizing tank body 1 through a flange. A cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank cover 2. A feed pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the tank cover 2, and the other end of the feed pipe 5 slides through the cylinder 4. A pipe cap is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the feed pipe 5. Multiple stirring rods 6 arranged in a circumferential array are rotatably installed inside the tank cover 2. A stirring blade 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each stirring rod 6.
[0023] The support legs provide stable support for the decolorizing tank body 1, preventing it from shaking during operation. The discharge pipe 3 is equipped with a valve. After opening the valve, the decolorized material can be discharged out of the tank through the discharge pipe 3. The tank cover 2 is connected to the decolorizing tank body 1 through a flange, which not only ensures the sealing of the decolorizing tank body 1, but also facilitates the later opening of the tank cover 2 to inspect or clean the internal components. The feed pipe 5 is used to add fatty acid raw materials and activated clay to the decolorizing tank body 1. The pipe cover can close the feed pipe 5 when not feeding to prevent impurities from entering. Multiple stirring rods 6 and stirring blades 7 arranged in a circumferential array can cover more areas inside the tank, reduce stirring dead corners, and make it easier for the raw materials and decolorizing agents to come into contact.
[0024] The cylinder 4 is equipped with a drive mechanism for driving multiple stirring rods 6 to reciprocate synchronously. The drive mechanism includes a support ring 8 fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the cylinder 4. An annular track 9 is opened inside the support ring 8. A stepped ring 10 is rotatably installed inside the annular track 9. A rotating ring 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the stepped ring 10. The support ring 8 provides a mounting base for the annular track 9 and the stepped ring 10. The shape of the annular track 9 is adapted to the stepped ring 10, which can restrict the movement trajectory of the stepped ring 10, so that it can only rotate circumferentially within the annular track 9, without axial offset or shaking, thereby ensuring that the rotating ring 11 can rotate stably synchronously with the stepped ring 10.
[0025] Each stirring rod 6 is fixedly connected to a gear 19 on the outer surface of the portion above the lid 2. The rotating ring 11 is fixedly connected to a first tooth 12 that matches the gear 19, and the first tooth 12 meshes with the gear 19. When the rotating ring 11 rotates, it can simultaneously drive all the stirring rods 6 to rotate synchronously, thereby coordinating the stirring action of each stirring blade 7 and improving the uniformity of stirring.
[0026] A housing 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cylinder 4. A toothed plate 17 is slidably connected inside the housing 13. A second tooth 18 that matches the toothed plate 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first tooth 12, and the second tooth 18 meshes with the toothed plate 17. The housing 13 provides a stable sliding space for the toothed plate 17, restricting the direction of movement of the toothed plate 17, so that it can only move back and forth along the length direction of the housing 13. The toothed plate 17 meshes with the second tooth 18 on the outer surface of the rotating ring 11. When the toothed plate 17 moves back and forth, it can drive the rotating ring 11 to rotate back and forth in the circumferential direction through the second tooth 18.
[0027] A support block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing 13. A reciprocating screw 14 is rotatably installed between the support block and the housing 13. A threaded block 16 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the reciprocating screw 14. The threaded block 16 is slidably connected inside the housing 13 and fixedly connected to the toothed plate 17. A motor 15 is installed on the outer surface of the housing 13. The output end of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the reciprocating screw 14. The motor 15 can provide a power source for the rotation of the reciprocating screw 14. When the reciprocating screw 14 rotates, the threaded block 16 will reciprocate linearly along its length direction under the drive of the reciprocating screw 14. The movement of the threaded block 16 can drive the toothed plate 17 to reciprocate synchronously.
[0028] Working principle: After the motor 15 starts, its output end drives the reciprocating screw 14 to rotate. When the reciprocating screw 14 rotates, it will drive the threaded block 16 to make reciprocating linear motion along the length of the reciprocating screw 14, thereby driving the toothed plate 17 to move back and forth in the housing 13.
[0029] The reciprocating movement of the toothed plate 17 will drive the rotating ring 11 to reciprocate in the circumferential direction through the second tooth 18. The first tooth 12 inside the rotating ring 11 meshes with the gear 19 above each stirring rod 6. The reciprocating rotation of the rotating ring 11 will drive all gears 19 and stirring rods 6 to reciprocate synchronously through the first tooth 12, that is, to alternate between forward and reverse rotation, so that the stirring blades 7 on the stirring rods 6 can perform bidirectional stirring in the decolorization tank body 1.
[0030] 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.
