Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chromatographic separation technology, specifically a column positioning rack for a simulated moving bed purification and separation device. Background Technology
[0002] The simulated moving bed (SMB) purification and separation equipment is a high-efficiency separation device based on chromatographic separation principles. By periodically switching the relative flow direction between the stationary phase bed and the material, it simulates the "moving" effect of the stationary phase, achieving continuous separation and purification. Its core consists of multiple tandem chromatographic columns, switching valve assemblies, a pump, and a control system, which can precisely control the flow direction and distribution of feed, eluent, target product, and waste. Compared to traditional fixed beds, SMB significantly improves stationary phase utilization and product purity, reduces eluent consumption, and enables continuous operation, lowering energy consumption and time costs associated with batch processes. It is currently widely used in the purification of sugars, chiral drugs, antibiotics, and food additives, such as the separation of glucose and fructose and the resolution of chiral compounds. It is a key piece of equipment for achieving efficient separation in the fine chemical and biopharmaceutical industries.
[0003] In the existing technology, the column limiter of the simulated moving bed purification and separation equipment has the advantages of high separation efficiency, good product purity and yield, high utilization rate of stationary phase and solvent, low energy consumption, continuous operation, strong stability, wide application scenarios and good adaptability. However, when installing the chromatographic column, no positioning structure is designed, and bolts are used directly for installation, which is relatively slow, has low practicality, and is not convenient for widespread use.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting hole 1 has multiple identical ones, and the multiple limiting holes 1 are distributed at equal intervals.
[0013] The above technical solution, through the design of multiple limiting holes, makes it easy to adjust the height of the moving frame, thereby facilitating the installation of chromatographic columns of different heights and providing high adaptability.
[0014] Preferably, two identical limiting rings are provided, the distance between the two limiting rings is the same as the height of the mounting base, and the chromatographic column is adapted to the mounting base.
[0015] Using the above technical solution, the staff inserts the chromatographic column into the interior of the mounting base, so that the limiting rings are located on both sides of the mounting base, which can achieve rapid positioning of the chromatographic column.

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.
[0022] Example 1: like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a chromatographic column limiting frame for a simulated moving bed purification and separation device, comprising a simulated moving bed body 1, a first fixed plate 2, and a second fixed plate 3. A mounting frame 4 is provided between the first fixed plate 2 and the second fixed plate 3. A movable frame 10 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the mounting frame 4. A limiting hole 11 is provided on the outer wall of the mounting frame 4, and a limiting hole 12 is provided on the outer wall of the movable frame 10. A limiting pin 13 is inserted and installed on the outer wall of the movable frame 10. A chromatographic column 14 is provided on the outer wall of the movable frame 10.

A threaded hole 21 is provided on the outer wall of the limiting component 19, and a bolt 22 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the limiting component 19.
[0023] Specifically, guide blocks 5 are fixedly installed at both the end of the mounting bracket 4 near the first fixing plate 2 and the end of the mounting bracket 4 near the second fixing plate 3. Guide grooves 6 and threaded holes 8 are provided on both the side of the first fixing plate 2 near the mounting bracket 4 and the side of the second fixing plate 3 near the mounting bracket 4. Threaded holes 7 are provided on the outer wall of the mounting bracket 4, and bolts 9 are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting bracket 4. The guide blocks 5 and guide grooves 6 are inserted into each other, and the cross-section of the guide blocks 5 has a "T" shape. The advantage is that when the operator inserts the guide blocks 5 into the guide grooves 6, the mounting bracket 4 is positioned between the first fixing plate 2 and the second fixing plate 3, enabling rapid positioning of the mounting bracket 4.
[0024] Specifically, bolt 9 extends through threaded hole 7 into threaded hole 8, with threaded hole 7 and threaded hole 8 having the same diameter. The advantage is that after quickly positioning the mounting bracket 4, the operator can quickly fix the mounting bracket 4 by extending bolt 9 through threaded hole 7 into threaded hole 8, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly during use or assembly.
[0025] Specifically, the limiting pin 13 passes through the second limiting hole 12 and the first limiting hole 11, and the second limiting hole 12 and the first limiting hole 11 have the same diameter. The advantage is that when the operator slides the movable frame 10 on the outer wall of the mounting frame 4, and when it slides to the appropriate position, the operator then inserts the limiting pin 13 through the second limiting hole 12 and the first limiting hole 11, which can quickly limit the movement of the movable frame 10.
[0026] Example 2: like Figure 2-5 As shown, as an improvement on the previous embodiment, to further facilitate the installation of chromatographic columns 14 of different heights, specifically, multiple identical limiting holes 11 are provided, and the multiple limiting holes 11 are distributed at equal intervals. The advantage is that the design of multiple limiting holes 11 makes it easy to adjust the height of the moving frame 10, thereby facilitating the installation of chromatographic columns 14 of different heights and providing high adaptability.
[0027] Specifically, two identical limiting rings 15 are provided, and the distance between the two limiting rings 15 is the same as the height of the mounting base 16, so that the chromatographic column 14 is adapted to the mounting base 16.

The threaded hole 21 and the threaded hole 18 have the same diameter. The advantage is that after the chromatographic column 14 is quickly positioned, the operator inserts the positioning block 20 into the positioning groove 17, so that the limiting component 19 abuts against the outer wall of the chromatographic column 14, and then extends the bolt 22 through the threaded hole 21 to the inside of the threaded hole 18, which can achieve rapid positioning of the chromatographic column 14. After long-term use, it is convenient to inspect or replace it.
[0029] Working principle: During installation, the operator inserts the guide block 5 into the guide groove 6, positioning the mounting bracket 4 between the first fixing plate 2 and the second fixing plate 3, enabling rapid positioning of the mounting bracket 4. After positioning the mounting bracket 4, the operator inserts bolt 9 through threaded hole 7 into threaded hole 8, quickly fixing the mounting bracket 4 for easy disassembly and assembly during use or assembly. The operator then slides the movable bracket 10 along the outer wall of the mounting bracket 4. When it reaches the desired position, the operator inserts the limiting pin 13 through limiting hole 12 and limiting hole 11, quickly limiting the movable bracket 10. Finally, the operator inserts the chromatographic column... Insert the 14 into the mounting base 16 so that the limiting ring 15 is located on both sides of the mounting base 16, which can realize the rapid positioning of the chromatographic column 14. After the chromatographic column 14 is quickly positioned, the operator inserts the positioning block 20 into the positioning groove 17 so that the limiting member 19 abuts against the outer wall of the chromatographic column 14. Then, the bolt 22 is inserted through the threaded hole 21 and extended into the threaded hole 3 18, which can realize the rapid positioning of the chromatographic column 14. After long-term use, it is convenient to repair or replace it. During use, the design of multiple limiting holes 11 makes it easy to adjust the height of the moving frame 10, thus facilitating the installation of chromatographic columns 14 of different heights, with high adaptability.
