[0026] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the heating cavity 100 has the microwave heating box 101, the residual gas pipeline 102, and the soil outlet pipeline 103, and is internally provided with the shaft 110, the bevel gears 111, the caterpillar type device 112, the support frame 113, the bearing plate 114, and the gears 115. The box cover 121 is installed on the upper portion of the heating cavity 100. The microwave heating box 101 is installed on the side wall of the heating cavity 100, and is internally provided with a fan and heat exchange pipes. Cold air is blown through the heat exchange pipes by the fan to be heated, and then the hot air enters the heating cavity 100. The internal side wall of the heating cavity 100 is provided with a ventilation pipeline to blow hot air into the internal space of the heating cavity 100. The residual gas pipeline 102 connects the heating cavity 100 and the stirring box 130, and sends the contaminated gas with residual heat in the stirring box 130, which is not mixed with water, into the heating cavity 100 to prevent heat waste. The soil outlet pipeline 103 is located below the heating cavity 100, and discharges the evaporated soil in the heating cavity 100. The gas outlet pipeline 104 is connected to the side wall of the heating cavity 100 at one end, and is connected to the side wall of the stirring box 130 at the other end.

There are two fixing supports 105 on each side wall of the heating cavity 100, and the fixing supports 105 support the shaft 110.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the shaft 110 is provided with the gears 115 and the bevel gears 111 at both ends, and can rotate freely. The bevel gears 111 are installed on both ends of the shaft 110. As shown in Figure 2 , a plurality of bevel gears 111 are meshed with each other, and can rotate in coordination to form four shafts 110 that can rotate at the same angular velocity. Two bevel gears 111 are connected to the rotating shaft 133. The caterpillar type device 112 is sleeved on the gears 115 at the upper and lower ends, and is driven by the gravity of the soil to rotate according to Figure 3The clockwise direction shown movement, and then drive gear 115 rotation; the support frame 113 is fixedly installed on the track device 112, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the clockwise movement, the support frame 113 only supports the bearing plate 114 in one direction of freedom, that is, not to let the soil fall on the right side, while the left side of the bearing plate 114 is automatically perpendicular to the bottom surface, reducing the use of space; the bearing plate 114 is installed in the rotating pair on the track device 112, which is limited by the support frame 113 in one direction of freedom, that is, not to let the soil fall on the right side, while the left side of the bearing plate 114 is automatically perpendicular to the bottom surface, reducing the use of space; the gear 115 is installed at both ends of the shaft 110, which can be moved by the track device 112 and then drive the shaft 110 rotation; the soil cavity 120 is located at the upper end of the box cover 121, which receives the soil;

[0028] As shown in Figure 5 , 6 The box cover 121 has a soil cavity and a soil outlet 122, a hydraulic device 123, and a valve plug 124 inside, the box cover 121 is installed on the upper end of the heating cavity 100, and is sealed; the soil cavity and soil outlet 122 has four, which is located inside the box cover 121, which can be evenly distributed to the four directions of the bearing plate 114 by the soil cavity 120; the hydraulic device 123 is located inside the box cover 121, which can push the valve plug 124 up and down; the valve plug 124 is located inside the box cover 121, which is in shape with the shape of the channel inside the box cover 121, can be sealed by the top of the soil cavity 120 channel and can open the channel, the inclined shape can also be shunted by the soil;

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the stirring box 130 is installed on the upper end of the filter box 140, and has stirring device and stirring mechanism connected with the rotating shaft 133 and the speed reducer 134. The stirring box 130 mixes the hot contaminated gas with water, and then sends the mixture to the filter box 140. The backwater pipe 131 is installed between the stirring box 130 and the filter box 140, and can inject the purified water in the filter box 140 back to the stirring box 130 for recycling. The pump 132 is installed on the upper end of the stirring box 130, and is connected with the backwater pipe 131 to provide suction for the backwater pipe 131. The rotating shaft 133 is installed on the sidewall between the heating cavity 100 and the stirring box 130 through a sealing bearing. One end of the rotating shaft 133 is connected with the bevel gear 111, and the other end is connected with the speed reducer 134, which is further connected with the stirring mechanism in the stirring box 130. The water resistance is used to slow down the angular velocity of the shaft 110, thereby prolonging the heating time of the soil in the heating cavity 100. The speed reducer 134 is installed on the rotating shaft 133, and uses the internal transmission ratio to make the angular velocity of the shaft 110 much smaller than that of the stirring mechanism in the stirring box 130. The filter box 140 has filter device inside, and is divided into multiple layers. After multi-stage filtration, the water reaching the lower end is clean water. There are four support columns 141 installed on the filter box 140 to support the stirring box 130. The water inlet pipe 142 is connected with the stirring box 130 and the filter box 140.

[0030] Working principle: the valve plug 124 is used to control the soil entering the heating cavity 100, which enhances the sealing of the cavity. The self-rotating caterpillar device 112 is used to utilize the natural movement of soil gravity. The two ends of the four self-rotating caterpillar devices 112 are connected by bevel gears 111, which are connected to the stirring device in the stirring cavity through a connecting shaft reducer 134. The water resistance is used to further slow down the falling time of the soil. The top plate of the self-rotating caterpillar device 112 is movable, one end is vertical, and the other end is parallel, which saves space and provides more space for the internal microwave heater. The remaining gas pipe is arranged at the rear end of the stirring box 130 to return the remaining gas with residual heat back to the heating cavity 100, which solves the problem of high cost and low efficiency of the soil remediation equipment using the thermal desorption method. The soil enters the box cover 121 from the soil inlet cavity 120. The hydraulic device 123 and the valve plug 124 control whether the soil in the soil inlet cavity 120 enters the soil inlet cavity outlet 122. Then the soil falls from the soil inlet cavity outlet 122 to the bearing plate 114 of the self-rotating caterpillar device 112 composed of shaft 110, bevel gear 111, caterpillar device 112, support frame 113, bearing plate 114, and gear 115. The gravity received by the soil drives the caterpillar device 112 to move and in turn drives the shaft 110 to rotate. The two ends of the shaft 110 are connected to the stirring device in the stirring box 130 through the bevel gears 111 and the reducer 134. The water in the stirring box 130 provides resistance to slow down the angular velocity of the shaft 110. The shaft 110 can also stir water and gas. The stirring box 130 also has another stirring device for stirring. After stirring, the water containing contaminated gas flows into the filter box 140. The filter box 140 has multiple layers of filter screens. When the water flows to the lowermost end of the filter box 140, the backwater pipe 131 and the pump 132 will extract clean water into the stirring box 130 for repeated use. The remaining gas pipe 102 also sends the gas not melted into the water in the stirring box 130 back into the heating cavity 100, achieving the effect of reducing the cost of thermal desorption soil remediation equipment and improving efficiency.

[0031] The above description of the application and its embodiments is illustrative and not limiting. The drawings shown are only one of the embodiments of the application, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by it, without departing from the purpose of the application, similar structural methods and embodiments can be designed without creative design, which should belong to the protection scope of the application.
