AI Technical Summary
In existing tributyl citrate acylation devices, the contact position between the scraper and the inner wall of the acylation tank is fixed, which leads to wear on the scraper or the inner wall of the acylation tank, making it impossible to effectively clean the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the acylation tank.
An adjustable scraper system was designed. The sliding seat is driven by a threaded rod and a movable column, which, together with the connecting rod and the fixed seat, pushes the scraper to move, thereby cleaning the impurities on the inner wall of the acylation tank. The acylation effect is accelerated by a motor-driven rotating tube and stirring rod.
It effectively avoids wear between the scraper and the inner wall of the acylation tank, achieving efficient cleaning of the inner wall of the acylation tank. Furthermore, the scraper position can be adjusted as needed, improving acylation efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chemical catalyst production technology, and in particular relates to a rapid acylation device for tributyl citrate. Background Technology
[0002] Tributyl citrate is a green and environmentally friendly catalyst, widely used as a plasticizer in food packaging, daily necessities, and children's toys. Tributyl citrate has advantages such as good compatibility, high plasticizing efficiency, easy degradation, non-toxicity, and low volatility. It also exhibits excellent water resistance, light resistance, and cold resistance, making it an ideal substitute for plasticizers such as phthalic acid.
[0003] In existing production processes, tributyl citrate is typically produced by placing the raw material into an acylation tank for acylation. To accelerate the acylation process, a stirring column is usually installed to agitate the raw material. However, during processing, a large amount of raw material adheres to the inner wall of the existing acylation tank. A scraper is usually installed on the stirring device to scrape off this material. However, the existing scrapers are usually in a fixed position and cannot be adjusted. The scraper is constantly in contact with the inner wall of the acylation tank, which leads to wear on the scraper or the inner wall of the acylation tank. After wear, the scraper can no longer adhere to the inner wall of the acylation tank, making it impossible for the scraper to clean the impurities on the inner wall of the acylation tank. In view of this, we propose a rapid acylation device for tributyl citrate. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid acylation device for tributyl citrate to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a rapid acylation device for tributyl citrate, comprising:
[0006] An acylation tank is provided with a top cover fixedly installed on its top surface. A rotating tube is rotatably installed between the top cover and the acylation tank. Multiple second stirring rods are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating tube. Two stirring columns are fixedly installed on both sides of the rotating tube. A side groove is opened on one side of each of the four stirring columns. A motor is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the acylation tank. The top end of the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating tube.
[0007] Two scrapers are disposed inside the acylation tank, and the two scrapers are slidably installed in four side grooves respectively;
[0008] An adjustment component is mounted on a movable base and is used to move two scrapers.
[0009] Multiple first stirring rods are fixedly installed on one side of two scrapers. A heating rod is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the acylation tank. The raw material is injected into the acylation tank through the feeding trough. The sealing cover is fitted into the feeding trough to ensure the top cover is sealed. At this time, the motor is started to drive the rotating tube to rotate. When the rotating tube rotates, the stirring column, the second stirring rod, the first stirring rod, and the connecting rod can stir the raw material inside the acylation tank, thereby accelerating the acylation effect.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the adjusting component further includes two sliding grooves, which are respectively opened on both sides of the rotating tube. A movable column is slidably installed inside the rotating tube, and a movable seat is slidably installed inside each of the two sliding grooves. One end of each of the two movable seats is fixedly connected to both sides of the movable column. A fixed seat is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two scrapers, and a connecting rod is rotatably installed inside each of the two fixed seats. The bottom ends of the two connecting rods are rotatably installed inside the two movable seats. When the movable seats slide in the sliding grooves, the scrapers are pushed outward by the cooperation of the connecting rods and the fixed seats. After the scrapers contact the inner wall of the acylation tank, the motor is started to drive the rotating tube to rotate, thereby cleaning the impurities attached to the inner wall of the acylation tank by the scrapers. This method is quite practical. This method can adjust the position of the scrapers according to the situation to avoid the scrapers constantly contacting the inner wall of the acylation tank, which could cause wear on the scrapers or the inner wall of the acylation tank.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the adjusting component further includes a top sleeve, which is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the top cover. The top end of the rotating tube is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the top sleeve, and the rotating tube is connected to the top sleeve. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the top of the top sleeve, and the bottom end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the top end of the movable column. When the threaded rod is rotated and rises, it will drive the movable column to rise. When the movable column rises, it will drive the moving seat to slide in the slide groove.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the outer wall of the threaded rod is provided with a storage state insertion hole, and the top sleeve is movably connected to the storage state insertion hole with the same pin. When the scraper is not in contact with the inner wall of the acylation tank and is in the storage state, the pin is sleeved in the storage state insertion hole to limit the threaded rod, thereby keeping the scraper in the storage state.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the outer side wall of the threaded rod is provided with an unfolded state insertion hole, and the pin is sleeved with the unfolded state insertion hole. When the scraper contacts the inner wall of the acylation tank, the pin is sleeved in the unfolded state insertion hole, which can limit the threaded rod and prevent the scraper from moving during use.
[0014] In the above technical solution, the top surface of the top cover is provided with a feeding groove, a sealing cover is movably sleeved in the feeding groove, the surface of the sealing cover is provided with a sealing strip, and multiple limiting blocks are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the feeding groove, with the top surface of the multiple limiting blocks contacting the bottom surface of the sealing cover.
[0015] In the above technical solution, a pull rod is further fixedly installed on the top surface of the sealing cover, and the sealing cover can be opened by pulling the pull rod.
[0016] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the bottom surface of the acylation tank is fixedly installed with multiple support legs, and the bottom surface of the acylation tank is fixedly installed with a discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is equipped with a valve. By setting support legs, the stability of the acylation tank when placed will be enhanced. By opening the valve, the raw material in the acylation tank will be discharged through the discharge pipe.
[0017] In the above technical solution, the lengths of the multiple second stirring rods decrease sequentially from top to bottom, while the lengths of the multiple first stirring rods increase sequentially from top to bottom. This design of the first and second stirring rods prevents them from contacting the connecting rod, and ensures that the movement of the connecting rod is not affected when it deforms.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. This rapid acylation device for tributyl citrate involves injecting the raw material into the acylation tank through a feeding trough, and then fitting a sealing cap into the feeding trough to ensure a tight seal. At this point, the motor is started to drive the rotating tube to rotate. When the rotating tube rotates, the stirring column, the second stirring rod, the first stirring rod, and the connecting rod can stir the raw material inside the acylation tank, thereby accelerating the acylation effect.
[0020] 2. This rapid acylation device for tributyl citrate, when it is necessary to scrape off residual impurities from the inner wall of the acylation tank, involves rotating a threaded rod. As the threaded rod rises, it drives a movable column to rise, which in turn causes a moving seat to slide within a groove. When the moving seat slides within the groove, the connecting rod and fixed seat work together to push the scraper outward. After the scraper contacts the inner wall of the acylation tank, the motor is started to rotate the rotating tube, thereby cleaning the impurities adhering to the inner wall of the acylation tank. This method is quite practical. The position of the scraper can be adjusted according to the situation to avoid the scraper constantly contacting the inner wall of the acylation tank, which could cause wear on the scraper or the inner wall of the acylation tank.
