DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope limited by the application.

[0016] Combined with Figure 1-Figure 5 A fixed bed reactor capable of quickly replacing an internal catalyst comprises a vacuum pump 1, a water washing tank 2, a gas-solid separation tank 3, a fixed bed reactor 4 and a negative pressure extractor 5. A negative pressure extractor 5 is provided at the upper inner part of the fixed bed reactor 4. The negative pressure extractor 5 is connected to the gas-solid separation tank 3 through a pipeline. The gas-solid separation tank 3 is connected to the water washing tank 2 through a pipeline. The water washing tank 2 is connected to the vacuum pump 1 through a pipeline. The fixed bed reactor 4 comprises a shell 41. A plurality of reactor tubes 42 are movably installed in the middle of the shell 41. A cross top frame 43 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the shell 41. A suspension shaft 44 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the cross top frame 43. A rotating frame 45 is installed at the lower end of the suspension shaft 44. A plurality of guide rods 46 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating frame 45. The negative pressure extractor 5 is slidably installed on the guide rods 46.

[0017] The negative pressure extractor 5 structure includes a negative pressure chamber 50, a telescopic tube 51 is fixedly connected to the negative pressure chamber 50, the guide rod 46 passes through the negative pressure chamber 50, and a plurality of negative pressure extraction tubes 52 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the negative pressure chamber 50. The negative pressure chamber 50 and the negative pressure extraction tubes 52 are distributed in a fan-shaped shape, and the fan-shaped negative pressure chamber 50 and the negative pressure extraction tubes 52 rotate and stop at a certain angle, so as to cover all reactor tube arrays 42 areas, and then extract the catalyst in all reactor tube arrays 42 when the catalyst needs to be replaced.

[0018] A winch 450 is fixedly mounted on the rotating frame 45, and the traction rope of the winch 450 is fixedly connected to the negative pressure chamber 50; a fixed rod 451 is also provided on one side of the bottom of the rotating frame 45, and a scraper 452 is provided between the bottom of the fixed rod 451 and the bottom of the guide rod 46 near the center of the rotating frame 45. The scraper 452 is used to fully scrape the catalyst into the reactor tube 42 after adding the catalyst to the fixed bed reactor 4. The top of the housing 41 has a material addition port and is protected by a corresponding cover. When the winch 450 is running to retract the traction rope, the negative pressure extractor 5 will be raised in height, and the negative pressure extraction tube 52 will be detached from the reactor tube 42. When the winch 450 releases the traction rope, the negative pressure extractor 5 moves downward along the guide rod 46 under the action of gravity, and the negative pressure extraction tube 52 can enter the reactor tube 42.

[0019] A driving motor 430 is fixedly mounted on the cross frame 43, a driving gear 431 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor 430, a driven gear 440 is fixedly mounted on the suspension shaft 44, and the driving gear 431 meshes with the driven gear 440. The driving motor 430 can rotate and stop at a certain angle through the driving gear 431 and the driven gear 440; the driving motor 430 drives the negative pressure extractor 5 to completely cover the reactor tube array 42 area and then returns to the initial position to prevent the upper part of the telescopic tube 51 from being excessively wound at the suspension shaft 44.

[0020] The gas-solid separation tank 3 is provided with an inlet pipe 31 and an outlet pipe 32, respectively. The inlet pipe 31 is horizontally tangent to the middle of one side of the gas-solid separation tank 3, and the outlet pipe 32 is located at the top center of the gas-solid separation tank 3. The outlet pipe 32 passes through the top of the gas-solid separation tank 3 and extends to the middle and lower part of the gas-solid separation tank 3. The gas-solid separation tank 3 is based on the principle of a more common cyclone separator, which can effectively separate large particles of solid and gaseous substances. A catalyst recovery box is provided at the bottom of the gas-solid separation tank 3 for recovering the separated catalyst.

[0021] The washing tank 2 is filled with washing liquid 20, and is provided with an air inlet pipe 21 and an exhaust pipe 22. The air inlet position of the air inlet pipe 21 is located below the liquid level of the washing liquid 20, and the exhaust position of the exhaust pipe 22 is located above the liquid level of the washing liquid 20. The gas separated by the gas-solid separation tank 3 is processed by the washing tank 2, and the dust in the gas is effectively filtered to prevent air pollution.

[0022] The housing 41 is provided with a plurality of fixed brackets 47, and the bottom of the fixed brackets 47 is rotatably mounted with limiting rollers 48, and the limiting rollers 48 are in rolling contact with the rotating frame 45. Since the negative pressure extractor 5 is located on one side of the rotating frame 45, the limiting rollers 48 limit the rotating frame 45, so that the rotating frame 45 can always remain horizontal during rotation, thereby ensuring the vertical state of the negative pressure extraction pipe 52, and with the guiding effect of the guide rod 46, the negative pressure extraction pipe 52 can always be parallel to the reactor tube array 42, so that it can enter and leave smoothly.

[0023] The device is also connected to a control device via a wire. The control device is a control device based on a single-chip microprocessor. The control device is provided with a plurality of control buttons for adjusting and controlling the operation of the device.

[0024] During the use of this device: when it is necessary to replace the catalyst in the fixed bed reactor 4, the automatic operation of this equipment is started through the control device, the vacuum pump 1 generates system negative pressure, the winch 450 releases the traction rope, the negative pressure extractor 5 descends along the guide rod 46 under the action of gravity, and the negative pressure extraction pipe 52 enters the corresponding reactor tube 42 below to extract the catalyst. After the extraction is completed, the winch 450 retracts the traction rope, the negative pressure extractor 5 continues to rise until it is separated from the reactor tube 42, the driving motor 430 drives the rotating frame 45 to rotate, and then drives the negative pressure extractor 5 to rotate around the axis of the center of gravity of the fixed bed reactor 4 at a fixed angle and then stops, the negative pressure extractor 5 descends again to extract the catalyst in the reactor tube 42 below, and the above steps are repeated to extract all the catalysts. After the catalysts are extracted, they are effectively separated by the gas-solid separation tank 3, and the large particles of catalyst are separated and stored in the catalyst recovery box. At this time, the gas still contains a lot of dust. The gas is purified after being washed by the water washing tank 2. New adsorbed water is regularly replaced in the water washing tank 2, and the tail gas is discharged after being purified. When adding new catalyst, the catalyst is added into the fixed bed reactor 4 through the top. After the catalyst is added or a certain amount is added, the driving motor 430 drives the rotating frame 45 to rotate back and forth, and the lever scraper 452 can make the catalyst fully fall into each reactor tube 42, thereby improving the catalyst addition efficiency and thus improving the catalyst replacement efficiency in the fixed bed reactor 4.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
