Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coating processing technology, and in particular to a liquid reflux system. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of traditional coating equipment, the transportation and circulation of high-viscosity liquids is a critical link and also constitutes a significant technical bottleneck. When such liquids flow through the long return pipelines in the equipment, their inherent characteristics of high internal friction and poor fluidity generate enormous flow resistance. This strong resistance not only directly leads to an abnormally slow return speed of the liquid in the pipeline, resulting in low overall circulation efficiency, but also triggers a series of chain reactions and negative effects.

[0003] First, the slow flow means the liquid is in prolonged contact with the pipeline, making it more susceptible to fluctuations in ambient temperature. This can lead to uneven heat transfer or excessive heat loss, making precise control of the liquid's operating temperature extremely difficult. Temperature is a core parameter affecting the rheological properties (such as viscosity and flowability) of high-viscosity liquids. Unstable temperature directly causes fluctuations in the properties of the coating liquid, resulting in uneven coating, scratches, or orange peel texture defects. This severely impairs the uniformity and consistency of the coating film, ultimately reducing the overall quality of the product.

[0004] Secondly, poor circulation and slow reflux also threaten the stability of the production process. It can lead to unstable pressure in the feeding system, causing pulsations in the material output at the coating head, making it impossible to achieve a continuous and stable coating supply. Simultaneously, to overcome significant resistance, the pumping system often needs to operate under continuous high loads, which not only increases additional energy consumption but also exacerbates equipment wear. Furthermore, slow circulation can cause liquid stagnation in certain areas, increasing the risk of sedimentation or premature gelation.

[0005] The high flow resistance caused by long return pipelines in traditional equipment has become a key obstacle restricting the improvement of coating quality and breakthroughs in production efficiency. It not only directly lengthens the production cycle and reduces capacity, but also poses a continuous threat to the quality of the final product by interfering with temperature and cycle stability. Therefore, a new technical solution is urgently needed to optimize the fluid path and reduce flow resistance to improve cycle efficiency and process stability. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a liquid reflux system that solves the problem that the liquid flows slowly in the reflux equipment under the existing technology, resulting in a large liquid temperature difference and reduced coating effect.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0023] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0024] In the current technology, because the liquid travels a long distance horizontally within the reflux system, the liquid eventually enters the water tank at a slower speed, resulting in a large temperature change in the liquid and ultimately reducing the quality of the coating.

[0025] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a liquid reflux system, including an upper tank assembly 1, a reflux collection assembly 2, a diversion pipe 3, and a water tank 4. The upper tank assembly 1 and the reflux collection assembly 2 are connected through a lower trough 5. The upper tank assembly 1 is located on the upper side of the reflux collection assembly 2, and the lower side of the reflux collection assembly 2 is connected to the diversion pipe 3. The end of the diversion pipe 3 is connected to the water tank 4. The upper tank assembly 1, the reflux collection assembly 2, the diversion pipe 3, and the water tank 4 overlap perpendicular to the projection of the liquid reflux system's placement surface.

[0026] After entering the upper tank assembly 1, the liquid flows sequentially into the return collection assembly 2, the diversion pipe 3, and the water tank 4 by gravity. Because the upper tank assembly 1, the return collection assembly 2, the diversion pipe 3, and the water tank 4 overlap, the liquid flows vertically, reducing the distance the liquid travels horizontally or obliquely. This increases the speed of the liquid flow, making the return efficiency of the liquid return system higher, and making the temperature difference of the liquid in the liquid return system closer, thus improving the coating quality.

[0027] The upper trough assembly 1 of this utility model includes a first upper trough body 11, a second upper trough body 12 and a third upper trough body 13. The lower trough 5 includes a first lower trough body 51, a second lower trough body 52 and a third lower trough body 53. The lower side of the first upper trough body 11 is connected to the first lower trough body 51, the lower side of the second upper trough body 12 is connected to the second lower trough body 52, and the lower side of the third upper trough body 13 is connected to the third lower trough body 53. The return collection assembly 2 includes a return main pipe, and the first lower trough body 51, the second lower trough body 52 and the third lower trough body 53 are connected to the return main pipe.

[0028] The liquid in the first upper tank 11, the second upper tank 12, and the third upper tank 13 falls directly into the return main pipe through the first upper tank 11, the second upper tank 12, and the third upper tank 13. The liquid flowing by gravity can increase its own movement speed, avoid its own temperature from consuming too quickly, and improve the final coating quality.

[0029] A diversion pipe 3 is connected to the main return pipe between the first drop tank 51 and the second drop tank 52. A diversion pipe 3 is also connected to the main return pipe between the second drop tank 52 and the third drop tank 53. Liquid flows directly into the diversion pipe 3 by gravity. This utility model is equipped with three independent upper tanks, which eventually converge into the two diversion pipes 3 at the bottom. Liquid can be selected to enter different water tanks 4, improving the flexibility of the liquid return system.

[0030] The cross-sectional area of ​​the drop tank 5 is larger than that of the return main pipe, which allows it to accept more liquid, increase the liquid flow rate and volume, avoid excessive temperature difference in the liquid, and improve the coating effect.

[0031] The diversion pipe 3 is installed at an angle on the side of the water tank 4. The liquid is installed on the side of the water tank 4, which can ultimately guide the liquid on the upper side into the water tank 4 to achieve liquid return. The lower half of the diversion pipe 3 is inclined downward to increase the flow rate of liquid return.

[0032] The first upper tank 11 and the first lower tank 51 are integrally formed, the second upper tank 12 and the second lower tank 52 are integrally formed, and the third upper tank 13 and the third lower tank 53 are integrally formed. Integral casting can reduce the number of parts and facilitate docking and assembly. The area of ​​the first lower tank 51, the second lower tank 52 and the third lower tank 53 is close to the area of ​​the first upper tank 11, the second upper tank 12 and the third upper tank 13, which facilitates the direct flow of liquid into the first lower tank 51, the second lower tank 52 and the third lower tank 53, thereby improving the efficiency of reflux.

[0033] The return main pipe of this utility model is connected to the first drop trough body 51 by a flange, the return main pipe is connected to both sides of the second drop trough body 52 by flanges, and the return main pipe is connected to the third drop trough body 53 by a flange. The connection cost can be reduced by the above connection method. Other connection methods can also be used. At the same time, the return collection component 2 and the diversion pipe 3 can be eliminated, and the water tank and water tank 4 can be directly connected. It is suitable for relatively simple coating equipment.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
