Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorbitol production technology, and more specifically to a sorbitol concentration process separator. Background Technology

[0002] Sorbitol is a white crystalline powder, flakes or granules, odorless. Crystalline sorbitol requires concentration and evaporation during production. Existing evaporation equipment is simple, with small concentration tank capacity, small feed rate, and low evaporation efficiency per unit time. If a large amount of feed is fed, the liquid and water vapor will be drawn away at the same time, resulting in great waste and environmental pressure. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a separator for sorbitol concentration process, which performs gas-liquid separation of discharged liquid and water vapor, and recovers the separated liquid to avoid environmental pollution.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0005] A sorbitol concentration process separator includes a housing connected to the evaporation outlet pipe of a concentration tank via a mounting flange. An end cap is located at the upper end of the housing, and the top of the end cap is connected to the evaporation pipe at the rear end via the mounting flange. Several baffles are arranged crosswise within the housing near the concentration tank to turbulently circulate the discharged steam. Above the baffles is a defoaming net for capturing air bubbles in the steam. The defoaming net is detachably installed within the housing. The end cap is mounted on the housing via a rotating shaft, and a locking mechanism is provided between the housing and the end cap opposite the rotating shaft to secure the end cap to the housing. A sealing mechanism is provided between the housing and the end cap to improve sealing performance.

[0006] To further optimize the technical solution, a support plate is provided around the inner wall of the shell, and a frame is provided around the defoaming net. Several mounting holes are provided on the frame and the support plate respectively, so as to fix the frame to the support plate by mounting bolts to realize the installation and fixation of the defoaming net.

[0007] The technical solution is further optimized. The locking mechanism includes a fixed U-shaped frame set on the housing and an mounting U-shaped frame set on the end cover. The opening directions of the fixed U-shaped frame and the mounting U-shaped frame are the same. A screw is hinged to the fixed U-shaped frame by a pin, and a fastening nut is sleeved on the screw.

[0008] To further optimize the technical solution, a limiting block is provided at the top of the screw to prevent the fastening nut from unscrewing out of the screw.

[0009] To further optimize the technical solution, the sealing mechanism includes a groove formed on the top edge of the housing, a concave sealing gasket higher than the groove is provided in the groove, and a sealing ring corresponding to the recess of the concave sealing gasket is provided at the bottom end of the end cap.

[0010] To further optimize the technical solution, the baffle is configured as a downward-sloping structure.

[0011] The technological advancements achieved by this utility model are as follows, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions.

[0012] The sorbitol concentration process separator provided by this utility model is installed on the evaporation outlet pipe of the concentration tank. The evaporated material is separated from the water vapor by the baffle plate and the defoaming net. The separated material drips back into the concentration tank through the baffle plate, and the water vapor is discharged from the pipe. This avoids waste and environmental pollution, improves the evaporation efficiency per unit time, and thus increases the output and reduces the cost. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Sorbitol concentration process separator, combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a shell 1 and an end cap 3. The shell 1 is connected to the evaporation outlet pipe of the concentration tank through a mounting flange 4. The upper end of the shell 1 is provided with an end cap 3, and the top of the end cap 3 is connected to the evaporation pipe at the rear end through a mounting flange 4.

[0019] Inside the shell 1, near the end of the concentration tank, several baffles 5 are arranged in a crisscross pattern to turbulent the discharged steam. Above the baffles 5, an anti-foaming net 6 is installed to capture air bubbles in the steam, thus separating the liquid from the steam. The baffles 5 are designed with a downward tilt to facilitate the downward dripping of the collected liquid and prevent it from accumulating on the baffles.

[0020] The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a support plate 7, and the periphery of the defoaming net 6 is provided with a frame 8. Several mounting holes are provided on the frame 8 and the support plate 7 respectively, so as to fix the frame to the support plate 7 by mounting bolts 9, so as to realize the installation and fixation of the defoaming net, and at the same time, the defoaming net can be replaced.

[0021] The end cap 3 is mounted on the housing 1 via a pivot 2. A locking mechanism is provided between the housing 1 and the end cap 3, which are opposite to the pivot 2, to fix the end cap to the housing.

[0022] The locking mechanism includes a fixed U-shaped frame 10 on the housing 1 and an mounting U-shaped frame 13 on the end cover 3. The opening directions of the fixed U-shaped frame 10 and the mounting U-shaped frame 13 are the same. A screw 12 is hinged to the fixed U-shaped frame 10 by a pin 11. A fastening nut 14 is fitted on the screw 12. A limit block 15 is provided at the top of the screw 12 to prevent the fastening nut 14 from being unscrewed from the screw. When fixing the end cover, the screw is rotated upward to make the screw pass through the opening of the mounting U-shaped frame on the end cover. When the screw is in a vertical position, the fastening nut is rotated downward to fix the end cover to the housing 1, which facilitates the opening and closing of the separator to replace the defoaming screen.

[0023] A sealing mechanism is provided between the housing 1 and the end cap 3 to improve the sealing performance between the housing and the end cap. The sealing mechanism includes a groove on the housing 1, and a concave sealing gasket 16 is provided in the groove. The height of the concave sealing end is higher than the depth of the groove. A sealing ring 17 is provided at the bottom of the end cap 3. The sealing ring corresponds to the recess of the groove sealing gasket. When the end cap is pressed, the sealing ring is pressed against the recess of the concave sealing ring. The sealing ring is wrapped by the two sides of the concave sealing gasket, which improves the sealing effect.

[0024] This invention is installed on the evaporation outlet pipe of the concentration tank via a mounting flange, with the other end connected to the evaporation pipe at the rear. The evaporated material is separated from the water vapor by a baffle plate and a defoaming net. The separated material drips down through the inclined baffle plate and returns to the concentration tank, avoiding waste and environmental pollution, improving the evaporation efficiency per unit time, thereby increasing output and reducing costs.
