Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a device for mixing gases and liquids, and more particularly to a hypergravity device. [Background technology]

[0002] As described in Patent Document 1, for example, a conventional supergravity device includes a hollow housing, a rotating bed rotatably disposed within the housing, a liquid inlet pipe used to introduce liquid into the rotating bed, and a gas inlet pipe used to introduce gas into the housing. This conventional supergravity device is configured to use centrifugal force generated mainly by the high-speed rotation of the rotating bed to throw liquid that has entered the rotating bed out of the rotating bed, and to capture and remove suspended particulate matter or water-soluble gaseous pollutants contained in the gas through mass transfer between the gas introduced into the housing and the liquid thrown out of the rotating bed.

[0003] Although most of the liquid that enters the rotating bed is thrown out of the rotating bed, some of the liquid may flow back into the gas inlet pipe. If this occurs, the introduction of gas will be hindered and the hypergravity device may malfunction. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0009] In order to more clearly explain the objectives, technical means, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical means in the embodiments of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It should be apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention depicted and shown in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided below in the accompanying drawings does not constitute any limitation on the protection scope of the present invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0010] Also, in the following description, it should be noted that elements that perform the same role or function are denoted by the same numbers even if they do not have exactly the same configuration.

[0011] 1 shows a first embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention, and as shown in the figure, the supergravity device of this first embodiment comprises a housing 1, a rotating bed 2, and a gas guide structure 3. The housing 1 is configured in a generally cylindrical shape, and is formed with a gas inlet 11, a gas outlet 12, a liquid inlet 13, and a liquid outlet 14.

[0012] The rotating bed 2 is arranged inside the cylindrical housing 1 so that it can rotate around the central axis of the housing 1 as the axis of rotation, and is used to transfer mass between gas and liquid by utilizing the centrifugal force generated when the rotating bed 2 rotates.

[0013] As shown in Figure 2, the gas guide structure 3 is attached to the housing 1 so as to communicate with the gas inlet 11 of the housing 1. The gas guide structure 3 is formed to include a lateral inlet pipe 31 that communicates with the gas inlet 11 and extends outward away from the housing 1, and a vertical inlet pipe 32 that communicates with the lateral inlet pipe 31 and extends upward while extending away from the lateral inlet pipe 31. Because the vertical inlet pipe 32 is configured to extend upward while extending away from the lateral inlet pipe 31, even if liquid flows into the lateral inlet pipe 31 of the gas guide structure 3 from the gas inlet 11, it cannot enter the upwardly extending vertical inlet pipe 32 against gravity, and the liquid is blocked by the lateral inlet pipe 31.

[0014] As shown in Figure 3, the vertical introduction pipe 32 is formed in the shape of a truncated quadrangular pyramid whose inner diameter increases from the intake opening 321 at the top toward the part where it connects to the horizontal introduction pipe 31 at the bottom, and the opening area of ​​the intake opening 321 and the opening area of ​​the gas inlet 11 are configured to approximately match, so that the flow of gas (gas) taken in through the intake opening 321 of the gas guide structure 3 and sent to the housing 1 via the gas inlet 11 is smooth and fast.

[0015] 4 and 5, the configuration of the second embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention is similar to that of the first embodiment, but the difference is that the second embodiment of the supergravity device is configured with multiple stoppers 4 that cross the gas inlet 11 in the vertical direction, and each stopper 4 is composed of a long portion 41 with a relatively long horizontal width and a narrow portion 42 with a relatively short horizontal width. The long portion 41 and the narrow portion 42 meet at approximately 90° to form an L-shaped cross section. Furthermore, the horizontal extension direction (width direction) of the long portion 41 of each stopper 4 forms an angle of less than 90° with the horizontal side of the gas inlet 11 and is attached approximately perpendicular to the tangential direction of the rotation direction of the rotating bed 2 around the gas inlet 11. This blocks the path of liquid attempting to enter the lateral inlet pipe 31 from the housing 1 side via the gas inlet 11, thereby reducing the amount of liquid entering the lateral inlet pipe 31.

[0016] As a variation of the second embodiment, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the narrow portion 42 is omitted from each stopper 4, leaving only the long portion 41.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 6, the configuration of the third embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention is similar to that of the first embodiment, but the difference is that in the supergravity device of the third embodiment, the lateral introduction pipe 31 has two side walls 311 that extend from both sides of the gas inlet 11 formed in the housing 1 to the outside of the housing 1, and one of these two side walls 311 (the left side wall 311 in FIG. 6) extends outward from the housing 1 along a tangent T that touches the periphery of the circular horizontal cross section of the housing 1.

[0018] By configuring it in this way, in the third embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention, the flow of gas guided from the vertical inlet pipe 32 to the lateral inlet pipe 31 into the housing 1 becomes smoother, improving the mass transfer efficiency between the gas and the liquid and the efficiency of the space occupied by the entire device.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 7, the configuration of the fourth embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention is similar to that of the first embodiment, but the difference is that in the supergravity device of the fourth embodiment, the two side walls 311 of the lateral introduction pipe 31 extending from both sides of the gas inlet 11 formed in the housing 1 to the outside of the housing 1 are both configured to extend toward each other from the housing 1 to the outside along a tangent T that touches the periphery of the circular horizontal cross section of the housing 1.

[0020] By configuring in this manner, in the fourth embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention, the flow of gas becomes smoother, the mass transfer efficiency between gas and liquid and the efficiency of the space occupied by the entire device are improved, and the stability of the lateral introduction pipe 31 connected to the housing 1 and the entire gas guide structure 3 can be ensured.

[0021] As shown in Figure 8, the configuration of the fifth embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention is similar to that of the fourth embodiment, but the difference is that in the supergravity device of the fifth embodiment, the two side walls 311 of the lateral introduction pipe 31 extending from both sides of the gas inlet 11 formed in the housing 1 to the outside of the housing 1 each have a first portion 312 extending toward the other side wall 311 along a tangent T that contacts the periphery of the circular horizontal cross section of the housing 1, and a second portion 313 that further extends from the tip of the first portion 312 so as to form a predetermined angle θ with the first portion 312, and the second portions 313 of the two side walls 311 are configured to extend parallel to each other.

[0022] By configuring in this manner, in the fifth embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention, the flow of gas becomes smoother, the mass transfer efficiency between gas and liquid and the efficiency of the space occupied by the entire device are improved, and the stability of the lateral introduction pipe 31 connected to the housing 1 and the entire gas guide structure 3 can be ensured.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 9, the configuration of the sixth embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention is similar to that of the first embodiment, but the difference is that in the supergravity device of the sixth embodiment, the lateral introduction pipe 31 further has a bottom plate 314 that extends obliquely from the housing 1 to the outside and upward of the housing 1 between the two side walls 311 so that both sides are in contact with the two side walls 311.

[0024] With this configuration, in the sixth embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention, liquid that enters the lateral inlet pipe 31 via the gas inlet 11 is guided back to the gas inlet 11 by the extension direction of the bottom plate 314 of the lateral inlet pipe 31 and gravity, thereby reducing the amount of liquid entering the lateral inlet pipe 31 and also achieving the effect of guiding the flow of gas entering the gas inlet 11 along the lateral inlet pipe 31.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 10, the seventh embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention has a similar structure to the first embodiment, but the difference is that the gas guide structure 3 of the seventh embodiment of the supergravity device further has a liquid discharge passage 33 that opens downward in correspondence with the vertical inlet pipe 32.

[0026] With this configuration, in the seventh embodiment of the supergravity device of the present invention, even if the liquid that has entered the horizontal inlet pipe 31 via the gas inlet 11 reaches a position on the horizontal inlet pipe 31 corresponding to the vertical inlet pipe 32, it is discharged from the liquid discharge passage 33 formed at the location corresponding to the vertical inlet pipe 32 and opening downward, thereby reliably preventing the liquid from leaking from the vertical inlet pipe 33 and also achieving the effect of guiding the flow of gas entering the gas inlet 11 along the horizontal inlet pipe 31.

[0027] To summarize the above, in the supergravity device of the present invention, even if liquid flows into the gas guide structure 3 from the gas inlet 11, it is blocked by the horizontal inlet pipe 31 and cannot enter the vertical inlet pipe 32, so there is no risk of leakage from the vertical inlet pipe 32, and the above-mentioned object of the present invention can be reliably achieved.

[0028] The above embodiments are illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make slight changes or modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
