Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical fluid control, specifically a methanol pressure regulating device. Background Technology

[0002] Methanol, as a widely used chemical raw material and clean energy source, requires pressure control in its liquid state for production safety and process efficiency. In equipment such as methanol storage tanks, pipelines, and reactors, excessive pressure may lead to equipment rupture and methanol leakage (methanol vapor is toxic and flammable), while insufficient pressure may affect transportation efficiency or reaction rate. However, existing methanol pressure regulating devices have many shortcomings. Traditional methods rely on manual valve regulation, resulting in large pressure control errors and an inability to dynamically adjust based on real-time pressure. This leads to inconsistent methanol delivery speeds, affecting subsequent production processes, such as the stability of raw material supply for synthesis reactions. Utility Model Content

An audible and visual alarm is installed on the outer surface of the support plate, and the audible and visual alarm is electrically connected to the shut-off valve through a wire.

[0006] Preferably, the outer surface of the bearing plate has a circular opening that matches the conduit.

[0007] Preferably, the components of the regulating valve and the guide pipe that come into contact with methanol are made of 316L stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene.

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0021] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in conjunction with the appended drawings Figures 1-4 As shown.

[0022] A methanol pressure regulating device includes a delivery pipe 1, a support plate 5 above the delivery pipe 1, a control box 6 and a regulating valve 7 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 5, a pressure signal processor 11 installed inside the control box 6, a pressure sensor 8 installed on the outer surface of the regulating valve 7, a connecting pipe 9 installed at one end of the regulating valve 7, a leak detector 3 installed on the outer surface of the delivery pipe 1, and the outer surface of the delivery pipe 1 connected to the regulating valve 7 through a connecting pipe 4. A connector 2 is installed on the outer surface of the support plate 5. The pressure sensor 8 monitors in real time, the regulating valve 7 adjusts dynamically, and the control box 6 handles centralized processing, solving the problems of low accuracy and slow response of traditional manual adjustment, and providing a foundation for stable methanol pressure.

[0023] In this embodiment, the leak detector 3 includes an electrochemical methanol sensor 301 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conductive pipe 4 and a shut-off valve 302 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the delivery pipe 1. An audible and visual alarm 303 is installed on the outer surface of the support plate 5. The audible and visual alarm 303 is electrically connected to the shut-off valve 302 via a wire. The electrochemical methanol sensor 301 of the leak detector 3 can quickly identify methanol leaks, triggering the audible and visual alarm 303. Simultaneously, the shut-off valve 302 closes the delivery pipe 1, preventing the leak from expanding, forming an emergency chain of detection, alarm, and shut-off. This solves the problem of difficult detection and control of leaks in traditional devices, reducing safety risks. The surface has a round opening that matches the guide pipe 4. The round opening of the support plate 5 provides an installation channel for the guide pipe 4, ensuring the sealing of the connection between the guide pipe 4 and the regulating valve 7 and the delivery pipe 1. The parts of the regulating valve 7 and the guide pipe 4 that come into contact with methanol are all made of 316L stainless steel or polytetrafluoroethylene. 316L stainless steel and polytetrafluoroethylene are resistant to methanol corrosion, solving the problem of easy corrosion and leakage of the parts that come into contact with methanol in traditional devices, and extending the service life of the device. The inner cavity of the regulating valve 7, the connecting pipe 9 and the guide pipe 4 are all sprayed with a nano-ceramic coating. The nano-ceramic coating on the inner cavity enhances wear resistance, while improving surface smoothness, reducing methanol flow resistance and reducing energy consumption.

[0024] In this embodiment, a controller 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the control box 6. The controller 10 realizes automatic adjustment without manual intervention, and the response speed is improved. The pressure signal processor 11 includes a low-pass filter 112 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the control box 6. An instrument amplifier 111 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the control box 6. The instrument amplifier 111 of the pressure signal processor 11 amplifies weak pressure signals, and the low-pass filter 112 filters out interference such as noise signals generated by pipeline vibration, ensuring accurate pressure detection, avoiding false signals that lead to erroneous adjustment, ensuring the reliability of the pressure signal and ensuring detection sensitivity. The connector 2 includes a port plate 202 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support plate 5. The port plate 202 is provided with fastening screws 203 inside. Multiple port blocks 201 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the delivery pipe 1. The port plate 202 of the connector 2 cooperates with the fastening screws 203 to firmly fix the support plate 5 to the port blocks 201 of the delivery pipe 1, avoiding device displacement caused by vibration such as pump body vibration, ensuring the relative position stability of components such as the regulating valve 7 and the sensor, and indirectly ensuring adjustment accuracy.

[0025] Working principle: When methanol feedstock needs to be transported stably, the connecting pipe 9 and the conductive pipe 4 are sealed together using a tool. Then, during use, the pressure sensor 8 detects that the pressure in the conveying pipe 1 is slightly higher than the set value. At this time, the signal is processed by the pressure signal processor 11, and the low-pass filter 112 of the internal pressure signal processor 11 can filter out interference signals to ensure accurate pressure detection. The signal can be sent to the controller 10, which drives the regulating valve 7 to close or open. The pressure recovers to the set value in a short time, the feedstock supply is stable, and there is no decrease in reaction efficiency due to pressure fluctuations.

[0026] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
