[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Please see Figs. 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0032] A high-efficiency separation device for dimethyl carbonate distillation column, comprising:

[0033] The flip cover 2 is located above the distillation column body 1 and is used to ensure the airtightness of the inside of the distillation column body 1 when distilling dimethyl carbonate inside the distillation column body 1.

[0034] The filtration unit 4 is located inside the distillation column body 1 and is used to filter the dimethyl carbonate feedstock that enters the distillation column body 1.

[0035] Filter mechanism 4 includes:

[0036] Filter screen 6, which is placed inside the placement slot 5 opened at the top of the distillation column body 1; and

[0037] A scraping assembly for scraping off impurities from the inner surface of the filter screen 6.

[0038] Among them, a removable filter screen 6 is installed inside the upper part of the distillation column body 1. The raw material injected by the feed pipe 3 set at the top of the flip cover 2 is filtered through the filter screen 6 to prevent fixed impurities inside the raw material from precipitating out during the thermal decomposition process and clogging the feeding element inside the distillation column body 1, thereby affecting the normal use of the distillation column body 1.

[0039] Meanwhile, a scraping component is also provided on the surface of the filter screen 6. The sticky impurities on the inner surface of the filter screen 6 are scraped off by the scraping component to ensure the filtration effect of the filter screen 6.

[0040] The scraping components include:

[0041] The scraper 10 is disposed on the outer arc surface of the rotating handle 11 and is used to scrape off the impurities filtered from the bottom surface of the filter screen 6.

[0042] The rotating handle 11 is located inside the filter screen 6 and is used to drive the scraper 10 to rotate.

[0043] The scraper 10 is set on the outer arc surface of the rotating handle 11, and the rotating handle 11 is rotatably set on the inner surface of the filter screen 6. By rotating the rotating handle 11, the scraper 10 is driven to rotate, and impurities or sticky substances on the inner surface of the filter screen 6 are scraped off. The filter holes 7 opened on the inner bottom surface of the filter screen 6 are provided with a collection groove 9 for collecting the impurities scraped off by the scraper 10. Furthermore, the inner wall of the filter screen 6 is provided with an annular groove 8 for limiting the rotation of the scraper 10 and ensuring the stability of the scraper 10 during rotation.

[0044] The top of the flip cover 2 is provided with a feed pipe 3, and the inside of the flip cover 2 is also provided with a material distribution mechanism for distributing raw materials.

[0045] The material sorting mechanism includes:

[0046] The feed distribution plate 12 has a symmetrically arranged locking block 16 on its outer arc surface. The inner wall below the flip cover 2 has a rotating groove 14. The bottom end of the flip cover 2 has a symmetrically arranged mounting groove 13. The locking block 16 is inserted into the inside of the mounting groove 13 and rotates to connect with the inner wall of the rotating groove 14.

[0047] The slot 15 is opened on the inner wall of the rotating groove 14 near the mounting groove 13, and the mounting groove 13 and the slot 15 are staggered. The side wall of the block 16 facing the feed pipe 3 is provided with a stop 17 by a spring 18. The guide rod 19 provided on the side wall of the stop 17 is inserted into the insertion hole 20 opened on the side wall of the block 16.

[0048] Finally, a detachable feed distribution plate 12 is provided at the bottom of the flip cover 2. The feed distribution plate 12 distributes the raw material poured in from above through the feed pipe 3, so as to avoid the impact force generated when the raw material flow is large impacting the filter screen 6 below, causing the filter holes 7 inside the filter screen 6 to deform and affecting the filtration of raw materials.

[0049] Meanwhile, a locking block 16 with an outer arc surface of the feed distribution plate 12 is inserted into the interior of the mounting groove 13, allowing the locking block 16 to enter the interior of the rotating groove 14. By rotating the feed distribution plate 12, the locking block 16 rotates inside the rotating groove 14. The side wall of the locking block 16 is pressed against the interior of the mounting groove 13 by a stop block 17 connected by a spring 18, so that the stop block 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the rotating groove 14. When the locking block 16 rotates into the groove 15 opened on one side of the inner wall of the rotating groove 14, the stop block 17 connected by the spring 18 on the side wall of the locking block 16 is squeezed by the spring 18. The stop block 17 squeezes the inner wall of the rotating groove 14, thus squeezing and fixing the locking block 16 inside the groove 15, ensuring the position of the locking block 16 inside the groove 15, and ensuring the stability of the feed distribution plate 12 during installation.

[0050] Working principle: The worker presses the abutment 17 connected to the outer arc surface of the feed distribution plate 12 by the spring 18 into the mounting groove 13, so that the abutment 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the rotating groove 14. By pressing and rotating the feed distribution plate 12, the abutment 16 on the outer arc surface of the feed distribution plate 12 rotates inside the rotating groove 14. When the abutment 16 rotates into the groove 15 opened on the inner wall of the rotating groove 14 facing the outer side of the feed distribution plate 12, the abutment 16 is squeezed by the spring 18 and enters into the groove 15. The abutment 16 is squeezed by the spring 18 and locked inside the groove 15, ensuring that the abutment 16 will not rotate inside the rotating groove 14, thereby ensuring the stability of the feed distribution plate 12 during installation.

[0051] After the feed distribution plate 12 is installed, the filter screen 6 is placed inside the placement slot 5 at the top of the distillation column body 1. The flip cover 2 is then closed on the top of the distillation column body 1. Raw material is poured into the distillation column body 1 through the feed pipe 3. The feed distribution plate 12 distributes the raw material to avoid the large flow of raw material impacting the filter screen 6 and deforming the filter holes 7 on the surface of the filter screen 6. At the same time, the filter screen 6 filters out the internal impurities of the raw material.

[0052] After the distillation separation is completed, the flip cover 2 is flipped over. The worker rotates the rotating handle 11 so that the scraper 10 scrapes off the fixed impurities or sticky substances on the inner surface of the filter screen 6 and scrapes them into the collection groove 9 opened on the inner surface of the filter screen 6 to collect the fixed impurities and protect the filter screen 6. After cleaning, the subsequent raw materials can be distilled and separated. The worker only needs to disassemble the filter screen 6 for cleaning periodically, without having to clean the filter screen 6 after each distillation.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
