Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of homogenizer technology, and more specifically, to a high-pressure homogenizer for preparing organosilicon softeners. Background Technology

[0002] Silicone softeners are functional additives widely used in the textile, printing and dyeing, leather, and daily chemical industries. Their core function lies in the stable dispersion of hydrophobic silicone oil in water as tiny droplets, forming an oil-in-water emulsion. The particle size and uniformity of the emulsion directly determine the softener's stability, permeability, softening effect, and hand feel. A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN120285812B) that discloses a high-efficiency homogenizing valve assembly, a homogenizer, and a homogenizing method. The high-efficiency homogenizing valve assembly includes: a valve body with a homogenizing channel, the homogenizing channel having a radially protruding anti-flow ring; a homogenizing component disposed within the homogenizing channel; the homogenizing component includes a first valve core and a second valve core, the second valve core having a homogenizing groove, the first valve core covering the second valve core, the end wall of the first valve core and the homogenizing groove forming a homogenizing cavity; the first valve core having a feed hole connecting the homogenizing cavity and the inlet end of the homogenizing channel, the second valve core having a discharge hole connecting the homogenizing cavity and the outlet end of the homogenizing channel. The homogenizing groove includes a confluence channel and a collision channel, the collision channel connecting to the confluence channel, the discharge hole being disposed in the confluence channel; the width of the collision channel is greater than its depth, and the depth of the collision channel is less than 1 mm. This improves the dispersion and crushing effect on fibrous raw materials. In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology: The homogenizer lacks a discharge cooling structure. When the material passes through the homogenizing valve under high pressure, the drastic energy conversion generates a large amount of heat, causing the emulsion temperature to rise sharply (by 30-50°C). Excessive temperature can damage the performance of the emulsifier and even cause oxidation or cross-linking of the silicone oil, affecting the final performance of the product.

[0003] Therefore, a high-pressure homogenizer for preparing organosilicon softeners is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a high-pressure homogenizer for preparing organosilicon softeners, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-pressure homogenizer for preparing organosilicon softeners, comprising a homogenizer body, a high-pressure homogenizing component and a cooling discharge sleeve, wherein a control panel with an emergency stop button and a touch screen is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the homogenizer body, and the high-pressure homogenizing component is fixedly connected to the side of the homogenizer body near the control panel. The high-pressure homogenizing component has a secondary homogenizing unit fixedly connected to one side, and a discharge connection block fixedly connected to the top of the secondary homogenizing unit. A static mixer is fixedly inserted into the discharge connection block, and a mixing core is fixedly connected inside the static mixer. A cooling discharge sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the static mixer, and a circulating cooling box is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling discharge sleeve.

[0006] Preferably, a pressure gauge and a first homogenizing cylinder are fixedly connected to the top of the high-pressure homogenizing component; a second homogenizing cylinder, which is pressure-linked with the first homogenizing cylinder, is fixedly connected to the top of the discharge connecting block; both homogenizing cylinders are equipped with pressure overload protection valves; a third homogenizing cylinder, which is linked with the first two homogenizing cylinders, is fixedly connected to the side of the secondary homogenizing unit away from the high-pressure homogenizing component; a homogenizing channel is opened inside the high-pressure homogenizing component; a feed pipe is fixedly inserted into one side of the high-pressure homogenizing component; both ends of the homogenizing channel are connected to the feed pipe and the static mixer, respectively; and the output shafts of the first, second, and third homogenizing cylinders are all inserted into the homogenizing channel; a high-pressure leakage alarm sensor is provided on the outside of the high-pressure homogenizing component; and an anti-loosening locking nut is provided at the connection between the first homogenizing cylinder and the high-pressure homogenizing component.

[0007] By adopting the above scheme, the silicone softener first undergoes a first homogenization process in the high-pressure homogenizing component to pre-disperse the crude emulsion, while the silicone softener undergoes a second homogenization process in the secondary homogenizing unit to break up the droplets, and then undergoes a third homogenization process in the discharge connecting block to achieve final fine homogenization.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the cooling discharge sleeve is fixedly connected to an outlet pipe and an inlet pipe with a flow regulating valve, and both the outlet pipe and the inlet pipe are fixedly inserted into the circulating cooling tank; the bottom of the circulating cooling tank has a drain port, and an opening cap is threaded into the drain port; a temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circulating cooling tank, and a liquid level sensor is added to the inner wall of the tank, which is linked with the alarm module of the control panel; two sets of small chillers and a circulating water pump are fixedly connected inside the circulating cooling tank, and both sets of small chillers are intelligently linked with the temperature sensor through a PLC module, which can automatically start and stop or adjust the cooling power according to the temperature; one end of the inlet pipe is inserted into the circulating water pump, and a coolant filter element is added inside the circulating cooling tank.

[0009] By adopting the above scheme, the small refrigerator can be controlled to perform refrigeration by monitoring data from the temperature sensor; under the guidance of the internal mixing core, it is continuously divided, rotated and merged, achieving full radial mixing. At the same time, cooling water flows in the cooling discharge sleeve, and the heat of the material is quickly removed through the efficient heat exchange area.

[0010] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: 1. Compared with existing technologies, this high-pressure homogenizer for preparing silicone softeners integrates pre-homogenization, main homogenization, and fine homogenization into a single device. Employing different pressures and valve structures, it works synergistically to achieve precise particle size classification of silicone emulsions, improving homogenization efficiency and producing silicone emulsions with smaller particle sizes and narrower particle distributions in a single process. Furthermore, the integrated homogenization and cooling process solves the problems of difficult temperature rise control and slow cooling in traditional processes, ensuring product quality. It effectively controls the material temperature rise during homogenization, guaranteeing product quality stability. Attached Figure Description

The control method and control program of plate 11 are common technical means in this field and will not be described in detail here. The silicone softener first undergoes a first homogenization in the high-pressure homogenizing component 2 to pre-disperse the coarse emulsion. The silicone softener then undergoes a second homogenization in the secondary homogenizing unit 27 to break up the droplets.

The air pressure inside the high-pressure homogenizing component 2 is monitored in real time by the pressure gauge 22. A high-pressure leakage alarm sensor is provided on the outside of the high-pressure homogenizing component 2, which can alarm and initiate a rapid shutdown when the pressure is abnormal or there is a leakage, thereby eliminating the safety hazards of high-pressure production.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the secondary homogenizing unit 27 is fixedly connected to a third homogenizing cylinder 25 that is linked with the first two homogenizing cylinders on the side away from the high-pressure homogenizing component 2. The high-pressure homogenizing component 2 has a homogenizing channel 28 inside; the silicone softener flows in the homogenizing channel 28.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a feed pipe 21 is fixedly inserted into one side of the high-pressure homogenizing component 2, and the two ends of the homogenizing channel 28 are respectively connected to the feed pipe 21 and the static mixer 5. The output shafts of the first homogenizing cylinder 23, the second homogenizing cylinder 24, and the third homogenizing cylinder 25 are all inserted into the homogenizing channel 28. The silicone softener that needs to be homogenized enters the homogenizing channel 28 through the feed pipe 21 and completes the homogenization work under the action of the first homogenizing cylinder 23, the second homogenizing cylinder 24, and the third homogenizing cylinder 25. The material is pre-dispersed in the coarse emulsion by passing through the homogenizing valve formed by the first homogenizing cylinder 23 and the homogenizing channel 28 under a pressure of 20 MPa. The orifice diameter of the homogenizing valve in this unit is 0.8 mm.

[0021] Then, the material pressure is increased to 100MPa and enters the homogenizing valve formed by the second homogenizing cylinder 24 and the homogenizing channel 28. The orifice of the homogenizing valve in this unit is 0.3mm, which performs the main crushing of the droplets.

The liquid level sensor can monitor the coolant level in real time and automatically alarm when the liquid level is too low to avoid dry burning and damage to the refrigeration unit. The coolant in the circulating cooling tank 4 can be discharged from the drain port 41 by unscrewing the opening cover 411, and the temperature of the coolant in the circulating cooling tank 4 is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 44.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, two sets of small chillers 42 and a circulating water pump 43 are fixedly connected inside the circulating cooling tank 4.

The high-temperature emulsion after three-stage homogenization enters the static mixer 5 and flows in the mixing core 51. Under the action of the cooling discharge sleeve 3, the silicone softener is fully mixed and cooled.

[0026] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The silicone softener that needs to be homogenized enters the homogenization channel 28 through the feed pipe 21. The silicone softener first undergoes a first homogenization in the high-pressure homogenization component 2 to pre-disperse the crude emulsion. The silicone softener then undergoes a second homogenization in the secondary homogenization unit 27 to break up the droplets. Finally, it undergoes a third homogenization in the discharge connecting block 26 to achieve the final fine homogenization. The homogenized silicone softener is then cooled and discharged from the static mixer 5. The silicone softener in the static mixer 5 is cooled by the cooling discharge sleeve 3. The above is the working principle of this high-pressure homogenizer for preparing silicone softener.
