Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an ethanol gel-type alcohol fuel stirring tank and a stirring method using the same, and more specifically, to an ethanol gel-type alcohol fuel stirring tank and a stirring method using the same in which ethanol and a polymer compound pass through a primary mixing section and a secondary mixing section to perform a plurality of mixing steps, thereby enabling the ethanol and polymer compound to be uniformly stirred and form a gel form within a short period of time. Background Technology

[0003] Alcohol fuel refers to fuel that uses alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, or isopropanol, as its main component. Due to its high energy density and clean combustion characteristics, it is used for various purposes today.

[0004] However, conventional alcohol fuels had several problems, such as the generation of toxic gases, lack of storage stability, short combustion duration, and the risk of fire due to liquefaction during combustion. To address these issues, a semi-solid gel-type alcohol fuel was developed that has appropriate fluidity and can be directly combusted by sublimation during combustion.

[0005] Gel-type fuels, which are made by gelling these alcohols, are widely used because, unlike solid or liquid fuels, they do not easily leak even in the event of container breakage or careless handling, thus reducing the risk of fire.

[0006] Meanwhile, conventional gel-type alcohol fuels require a process of stirring for a long time after adding a thickening agent during the gelation process, which requires a long time to increase viscosity and consequently leads to a decrease in productivity.

[0007] As an example of solving these problems, prior art discloses a method for producing gelled alcohol fuel that can eliminate the long stirring process for thickening by using a calorific value increasing agent, but this method has limitations in that it requires a separate additive, which increases production costs and makes uniform mixing difficult.

[0008] Therefore, there is an increasing need for the development of a gel-type alcohol fuel stirring device that can solve these problems. Prior art literature

[0035] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an ethanol gel-type alcohol fuel stirring tank according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view illustrating an ethanol gel-type alcohol fuel stirring tank according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a front view illustrating an elastic member being driven in an ethanol gel-type alcohol fuel stirring tank according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an ethanol gel-type alcohol fuel stirring method according to the present invention.

[0036] An ethanol gel-type alcohol fuel stirring tank according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a body part (10), a primary mixing part (20), a primary driving part (30), a secondary mixing part (40), a secondary driving part (50), and a discharge part (60).

[0037] First, the body part (10) may store a gel-type alcohol fuel formed by mixing raw materials including ethanol, a polymer compound, amine ethylene oxide, and water. That is, the body part (10) may be equipped with the primary mixing part (20) and the secondary mixing part (40), and the primary driving part (30) and the secondary driving part (50) for rotating the primary mixing part (20) and the secondary mixing part (40) may also be equipped.

[0038] At this time, the first mixing section (20) and the second mixing section (40) may be formed in a cylindrical shape as shown in the drawing, and the diameter of the second mixing section (40) may be formed larger than the diameter of the first mixing section (20) so that the first mixing section (20) is provided inside the second mixing section (40).

[0039] Additionally, a motor connected to the primary drive unit (30) and rotating the primary drive unit (30) may be provided on one side of the body part (10). Depending on the selection, the motor may rotate the primary drive unit (30) in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0040] Next, the raw material introduced through the raw material input section (11) can be mixed in the first mixing section (20). At this time, the raw material can be introduced into the first mixing section (20) through the raw material guide section.

[0041] Additionally, the first mixing unit (20) is connected to the first driving unit (30) and can be rotated with the first driving unit (30) as a rotation axis. At this time, the bottom surface of the first mixing unit (20) is seamlessly connected to the first driving unit (30) so that the first mixing unit (20) can rotate simultaneously when the first driving unit (30) rotates.

[0042] And the gel-type alcohol fuel mixed in the first mixing unit (20) can be automatically introduced into the second mixing unit (40) through a plurality of holes (21) formed on the outer surface of the first mixing unit (20) by the rotation of the first mixing unit (20).

[0043] At this time, a plurality of holes (21) formed on the outer surface of the first mixing section (20) may be formed to be arranged in parallel in the circumferential and axial directions of the first mixing section (20), some of which may be in a shape that rises from the inner surface to the outer surface, and the rest may be in a shape that descends from the inner surface to the outer surface.

[0044] More preferably, when the holes (21) are arranged in the axial direction, they can be arranged so that an upward and downward shape appear alternately as they move toward the outer surface.

[0045] Thus, when the gel-type alcohol fuel flows from the first mixing section (20) to the second mixing section (40), the direction of travel is induced in various ways, thereby forming turbulence, and accordingly, the raw materials can be mixed more efficiently even if they go through only one step.

[0046] Next, the gel-type alcohol fuel introduced into the secondary mixing section (40) can be secondary mixed inside the secondary mixing section (40).

[0047] At this time, the rotating member (22) provided on the outer surface of the first mixing section (20) can be rotated simultaneously by the rotation of the first mixing section (20) to form a vortex throughout the gel-type alcohol fuel introduced into the second mixing section (40). Accordingly, even if the gel-type alcohol fuel is not uniformly mixed in the first mixing section (20), it can be effectively mixed by the vortex in the second mixing section (40).

[0048] Additionally, the rotating member (22) may be provided on one side of the outer surface of the primary mixing section (20) and on the other side corresponding to the diameter direction from the one side, and may be provided in such a way that a plurality of them are arranged along the axial direction of the primary mixing section (20).

[0049] And after the gel-type alcohol fuel is mixed a second time, the second mixing unit (40) can be rotated by the second driving unit (50). At this time, the second driving unit (50) can rotate the second mixing unit (40) at the same time as the rotation of the first driving unit (30) by the first driving unit (30).

[0050] At this time, the bottom surface of the secondary mixing unit (40) is provided with a gap from the primary driving unit (30), and can be connected to the primary driving unit (30) by an elastic member (51) provided in the secondary driving unit (50). In addition, the elastic member (51) may be provided in multiple numbers and may be provided on one side of the secondary mixing unit (40) and on the other side corresponding in the diameter direction from the one side, respectively, and may be provided on the upper and lower parts of the secondary mixing unit (40), respectively, as shown in the drawing.

[0051] And tension can be applied to the elastic member (51) by the rotation of the primary driving unit (30).

[0052] Here, the elastic member (51) may be in the form of a string with a rectangular cross-section as shown in the drawing, but is not limited thereto, and may be in the form of a rope with a circular cross-section, for example, and any shape that can connect the primary driving unit (30) and the secondary mixing unit (40) with an elastic material may be possible.

[0053] In addition, to explain in more detail how the elastic member (51) is driven, when the primary driving unit (30) rotates in one direction, the elastic member (51) may be twisted while being wound around the primary driving unit (30) as shown in FIG. 3a, and accordingly, tension may be applied to the elastic member (51).

[0054] After that, when the second mixing is completed in the second mixing unit (40), the rotation of the first driving unit (30) is stopped, and the second mixing unit (40) can be rotated in the reverse direction of the direction in which the first driving unit (30) was rotating by the restoring force of the elastic member (51).

[0055] When the secondary mixing unit (40) is rotated by the secondary driving unit (50) in this way, the gel-type alcohol fuel that is secondary mixed in the secondary mixing unit (40) can automatically flow out to the outside of the secondary mixing unit (40) through a plurality of holes (41) formed on the outer surface of the secondary mixing unit (40). At this time, the specific description of the plurality of holes (41) formed on the outer surface of the secondary mixing unit (40) may be the same as the description of the plurality of holes (21) formed on the outer surface of the primary mixing unit (20) described above.

[0056] In this way, when the first mixing section (20) and the second mixing section (40) rotate in opposite directions, the raw material is more likely to reach a turbulent state compared to when they rotate in the same direction, and accordingly, the gel-type alcohol fuel can be uniformly mixed at a high speed.

[0057] In addition, the ethanol gel-type alcohol fuel stirring tank according to the present invention can rotate both the first mixing unit (20) and the second mixing unit (40) by only rotating the first driving unit (30), thereby allowing for more efficient energy utilization.

[0058] Furthermore, a groove (not shown in the drawing) may be formed on the outer surface of the secondary mixing section (40), and a fixing member (not shown in the drawing) may be provided on the inner surface of the body section (10) to protrude in the direction of the secondary mixing section (40) and engage with the groove to fix the secondary mixing section (40) to the body section (10).

[0059] Accordingly, the fixed member can prevent the secondary mixing member (40) from rotating at the same time as the primary driving member (30) begins to rotate. That is, even if the primary driving member (30) rotates and tension begins to be applied to the elastic member (51), the secondary mixing member (40) can be kept fixed without rotating until tension exceeding a certain level is applied.

[0060] In addition, the fixed member is formed of an elastic material so that it can be detached from the groove when a tension of a certain level or higher is applied to the elastic member (51), and when the secondary mixing part (40) is rotated by the restoring force of the elastic member (51), it can be flexibly deformed so as not to hinder the rotation of the secondary mixing part (40).

[0061] At this time, the groove and the fixing member may each be provided with one or more as needed, and when the groove and the fixing member are provided in multiple numbers, the groove and the fixing member may each be positioned radially at an equal angle relative to the primary driving unit (30).

[0062] Next, a gas supply member (13) may be further provided on one side of the interior of the body part (10) to allow the remaining polymer compound, amine ethylene oxide, and water, etc., which are not mixed with the secondary mixed gel-type alcohol fuel, to be completely mixed, and more specifically, may be provided on the bottom surface of the body part (10).

[0063] The above gas supply member (13) can supply gas toward the upper direction so that the remaining polymer compound, amine ethylene oxide, water, etc., can move upward again if they do not mix and sink to the lower part after passing through the secondary mixing part (40). At this time, any gas that does not react with alcohol fuel and can subsequently be released into the air may be used.

[0064] In addition, the remaining raw material that moves upward due to the gas can move along the inner surface of the body part (10) and be re-introduced into the first mixing part (20), thereby allowing the remaining raw material to go through the first mixing step again in the first mixing part (20) and be completely mixed with ethanol.

[0065] Additionally, the body part (10) may be further equipped with a concentration measuring member (not shown in the drawing) that measures the concentration of ethanol in the gel-type alcohol fuel and controls the operation of the gas supply member (13).

[0066] At this time, the concentration measuring member may be any sensor that measures the concentration of ethanol in gel-type alcohol fuel, and at least one may be provided on the upper or lower part of the inner surface of the body part (10).

[0067] For example, if the concentration measuring member is provided at the upper and lower portions of the inner surface of the body part (10), the concentration of ethanol measured through the concentration measuring member provided at the upper portion and the concentration of ethanol measured through the concentration measuring member provided at the lower portion can be compared, and if the concentration at the lower portion is higher, the gas supply member (13) can be activated.

[0068] Next, a temperature control member (12) for controlling the temperature inside the tank may be further provided on the outer side of the body part (10). In this case, the temperature control member (12) may be in the form of a coil tube wound spirally along the outer surface of the body part (10), and may be configured to supply hot or cold air as needed.

[0069] For example, when dissolving a gelling agent or solid additive in ethanol, the temperature inside the body part can be raised to save time required for dissolution and mixing, or the internal temperature can be controlled to make the mixture uniform, thereby ensuring that the gel does not separate over time and maintaining stability.

[0070] Next, the gel-type alcohol fuel mixed in the secondary mixing section (40) can be discharged out of the tank through the discharge section (60).

[0071] In addition, the discharge unit (60) can be connected to a separate storage tank provided externally so that the finished gel-type alcohol fuel can be stored in the separate storage tank.

[0072] Finally, a separate ethanol supply tank (not shown in the drawing) may be further provided on the outside of the body part (10).

[0073] At this time, the ethanol supply tank can be linked with the concentration measuring member. For example, when the concentration measuring member is provided at the upper and lower parts of the inner surface of the body part (10), if the ethanol concentration measured at both the upper and lower parts is lower than the target ethanol concentration, additional ethanol can be supplied through the raw material input part (11).

[0074] Thus, if less ethanol is supplied than necessary due to a user's error, or if additional ethanol is required as the production of gel-type alcohol fuel proceeds continuously, additional ethanol can be supplied to the body part (10) to maintain a constant concentration of the gel-type alcohol fuel being produced.

[0075] Hereinafter, the gel-type alcohol fuel stirring method according to the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0076] The gel-type alcohol fuel stirring method according to the present invention includes a raw material input step (S10), a first mixing step (S20), a first rotation step (S30), a second mixing step (S40), a second rotation step (S50), and a first reverse rotation step (S60).

[0077] First, the raw material input step (S10) may be a step of inputting raw materials including ethanol, a polymer compound, amine ethylene oxide, and water into the primary mixing unit (20) through the raw material input unit (11).

[0078] At this time, 85 to 90 parts by weight of ethanol, 0.2 to 0.6 parts by weight of the polymer compound, 1 to 3 parts by weight of the amine ethylene oxide, and 10 to 15 parts by weight of water may be added for every 100 parts by weight of the gel-type alcohol fuel, and if necessary, a coloring agent or a UV absorber, etc. may be further added.

[0079] And the above first mixing step (S20) may be a step in which the polymer compound, the amine ethylene oxide, and the water, etc. are first mixed with the ethanol in the above first mixing section (20).

[0080] Next, the first rotation step (S30) may be a step in which the first mixing unit (20) is rotated by the rotation of the first driving unit (30). As described above, one side of the first driving unit (30) may be connected to a motor and rotated in one direction.

[0081] Accordingly, the gel-type alcohol fuel mixed in the first mixing section (20) can be automatically introduced into the second mixing section (40) through a plurality of holes (21) formed on the outer surface of the first mixing section (20). Here, the description of the holes (21) may be as described above.

[0082] Next, the second mixing step (S40) may be a step in which the gel-type alcohol fuel moved into the interior of the second mixing section (40) is secondarily mixed by a rotating member (22) provided on the outer surface of the first mixing section (20). Accordingly, even if all of the gel-type alcohol fuel that was first mixed and provided inside the first mixing section (20) is moved to the second mixing section (40), the first mixing section (20) continues to rotate to form a vortex in the gel-type alcohol fuel and secondarily mix the gel-type alcohol fuel.

[0083] Next, the second rotation step (S50) may be a step in which the rotation of the first drive unit (30) is stopped and the second mixing unit (40) is rotated in the reverse direction. At this time, the second mixing unit (40) may be rotated by the second drive unit (50), and the second drive unit (50) may be rotated by the first drive unit (30).

[0084] At this time, the first driving unit (30) can rotate inside the second mixing unit (40) until the second mixing is completed, and the rotation can stop after the second mixing is completed.

[0085] And when the rotation of the first drive unit (30) stops, the second mixing unit (40) can be rotated in the opposite direction to the direction in which the first drive unit (30) was rotating by the restoring force of the elastic member (51) provided in the second drive unit (50) as described above.

[0086] When the secondary mixing unit (40) is rotated by the secondary driving unit (50) in this way, the gel-type alcohol fuel that is secondary mixed in the secondary mixing unit (40) can be automatically discharged to the outside of the secondary mixing unit (40) through a plurality of holes (41) formed on the outer surface of the secondary mixing unit (40).

[0087] Thus, when the first mixing unit (20) and the second mixing unit (40) rotate, they rotate in opposite directions to each other, making it easy for the gel-type alcohol fuel to reach a turbulent state, and accordingly, the gel-type alcohol fuel can be mixed uniformly at a high speed.

[0088] Finally, before the rotation of the second mixing unit (40) by the second rotation step (S50) is stopped, a first reverse rotation step (S60) may be performed in which the first driving unit (30) begins to rotate in the reverse direction of the direction in which it was rotating in the first rotation step (S30).

[0089] At this time, new raw materials may be introduced into the first mixing section (20) before the first reverse rotation step (S60) begins.

[0090] Thus, when the gel-type alcohol fuel is completed, the production of a new gel-type alcohol fuel can begin without delay, allowing a large amount of gel-type alcohol fuel to be produced in a short period of time.

[0091] Although the present invention has been described above by limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various implementations are possible within the scope of the technical spirit of the present invention and the equivalent scope of the claims described below by those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs.
