With the rapid development of the plastics industry, the application of plastic products has become more and more extensive, and has penetrated into various fields of the national economy and people's daily life, playing an increasingly important role in the national economy. However, it is precisely because of some excellent properties of plastics that the waste after use is not easy to rot. Over time, it has seriously affected the ecological environment of the earth.

It can solve plastic pollution while providing renewable resources.
[0003] The prior art (application number 201811561574.0) discloses a waste plastic refining equipment with a heat preservation function. By setting the conical structure of the baffle, it can effectively prevent the waste slag from accumulating at the bottom of the reactor, avoiding the waste slag deposition from affecting the use of the reactor, so that the waste slag inside the reactor can be evenly discharged from the reactor along the conical slope of the baffle into the slag outlet.

[0020] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.
[0021] In this embodiment, the waste plastics are divided into polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS).
[0022] For waste plastic refining equipment, it is an environmentally friendly device that converts waste plastic into recyclable resources such as fuel oil, combustible gas and carbon black. This equipment realizes the decomposition and conversion of plastics through thermal cracking technology, which is one of the key technologies for the resource utilization of waste plastics.
[0023] The principle is to crack waste plastics into an oil-gas mixture by heating. The cracking temperature is generally between 300°C and 500°C. The oil-gas mixture passes through a condensation system to condense the heavy oil into liquid fuel oil, and the light gas enters a gas recovery system. The solid residue after cracking is collected as carbon black, which can be further utilized as a raw material.
[0024] In the above process, the waste plastics-based refining equipment usually adopts electric heating. Electric heating equipment takes up little space and is easy to use, but it has the disadvantage of low energy efficiency, which leads to increased heating time and thus increased energy consumption of the equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the energy consumption of the equipment to save resources.
[0025] Therefore, according to Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes an oil refining equipment based on waste plastics, including a reactor 1 and a recoverer 2. The reactor 1 is used to perform a cracking reaction on the waste plastics, and the waste plastics are cracked into small molecular organic matter by heating to generate high-temperature gas, while the recoverer 2 is used to cool the high-temperature gas to condense fuel oil.
[0026] The reactor 1 is provided with a feed port 27, and a sealing cover 26 is installed at the upper end of the feed port 27. The sealing cover 26 is opened before work, and the staff uses an external feeding device to feed the material. After the feeding is completed, the sealing cover 26 is closed. The lower end of the reactor 1 is provided with a discharge port.
[0027] Two groups of symmetrically arranged crushing rollers 3 are installed on the inner side of the reactor 1. The shafts of the crushing rollers 3 are connected to the side walls of the reactor 1 through bearings and are driven by an independent motor. The independent motor is located on the outer side of the reactor 1 and is connected to the reactor 1 through a bracket. The outer surface of the crushing rollers 3 is provided with a protruding structure, and the protruding structure is evenly arranged in several groups. Correspondingly, the position of the crushing rollers 3 corresponds to the position of the feed port 27. During operation, waste plastics enter from the feed port 27 and fall between the two groups of crushing rollers 3, thereby being crushed by the crushing rollers 3. The purpose is to crush the waste plastic block materials into smaller particles or flakes, increase the specific surface area of the material, and make the subsequent cracking reaction more sufficient.
[0028] A stirring assembly is also installed on the inner side of the reactor 1. The stirring assembly includes a mounting seat 19. The mounting seat 19 is hollow. In this embodiment, the cross section of the upper end of the mounting seat 19 is triangular. When the material is crushed, it passes through the upper end structure of the mounting seat 19 and falls to both sides of the reactor 1 during the falling process to prevent it from accumulating on the mounting seat 19. A motor 20 is installed on the inner side of the mounting seat 19. A main shaft 21 is installed at the lower end of the mounting seat 19 through a bearing, and the main shaft 21 is driven by the motor 20. A stirring blade 22 is installed on the main shaft 21, and the stirring blade 22 is provided with several groups. In this embodiment, a total of twelve groups of stirring blades 22 are provided. At the same time, a blade structure 23 is provided at one end of the stirring blade 22 away from the main shaft 21, and the blade structure 23 is symmetrically provided with two groups. In this embodiment, the structure of the stirring blade 22 is improved, and the blade structure 23 provided therein can play a cutting and pushing role when the stirring component is rotating, thereby avoiding local overheating or insufficient material and improving the efficiency of the cracking reaction. Accordingly, it can prevent the accumulation of large pieces of plastic to a certain extent and ensure the fluidity of the material inside the reactor 1.
[0029] Microwave lenses 4 are provided on both sides of the reactor 1. The microwave lenses 4 are used to seal the interior of the reactor 1 to prevent leakage of reaction gas or pressure while allowing microwaves to penetrate. An outer protective shell 5 is installed on the outside of the reactor 1. Two groups of microwave reflection plates 6 are symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the outer protective shell 5. Microwave tubes 7 are installed on the inner side of the microwave reflection plates 6. There are several groups of microwave tubes 7. The range covered by the microwave lens 4 corresponds to the microwave tubes 7. When working, the microwave tubes 7 are connected to the external microwave power supply through wires. Therefore, the heating of the reactor 1 adopts the microwave heating method to heat the crushed waste plastics, thereby performing a cracking reaction. Since microwaves are transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves, they are then reflected by the microwave reflection plates 6, and the excess scattered energy is reflected back to the target area, thereby improving the overall energy utilization rate.
[0030] The inner side of the outer protective shell 5 is provided with two groups of insulation jackets 8 symmetrically arranged front and back, and the inner side of the insulation jacket 8 is provided with a cavity, and the insulation jacket 8 is on a different side from the microwave tube 7. For the outer protective shell 5, it is a corrosion-resistant metal with good electrical conductivity (such as stainless steel or aluminum) to provide microwave shielding and mechanical protection. Correspondingly, its coverage range is around the reactor 1, thereby providing protection for components such as the microwave tube 7 and the insulation jacket 8. When working, the device introduces the heat recovered by subsequent condensation into the insulation jacket 8, which plays a role in heat preservation for the reactor 1, so it can provide uniform heat compensation and prevent the reactor 1 from cooling down due to heat loss. Then the present invention adopts a partitioned design, concentrating the microwave tube 7 on the left and right sides, and the insulation jacket 8 on the front and back sides, with clear distribution, avoiding the interference of the heat medium on the microwave field, and ensuring the heat utilization efficiency. Further, the outer protective shell 5 has a microwave shielding function.
[0031] A condensation circulation assembly is installed on the inner side of the recovery device 2, and the condensation circulation assembly is connected to the reactor 1 and the insulation jacket 8. The condensation circulation assembly includes a plate condenser 9, and the plate condenser 9 is provided with a cold medium inlet 10, a cold medium outlet 11, a hot medium inlet 12 and a hot medium outlet 13. A coolant cylinder 14 is installed below the plate condenser 9, and a circulating pump 15 is installed on the coolant cylinder 14. The circulating pump 15 is connected to the output end of the insulation jacket 8 through a pipeline, and the output end of the circulating pump 15 is connected to the cold medium inlet 10 through a pipeline, and the cold medium outlet 11 is connected to the input end of the insulation jacket 8 through a pipeline. During operation, in the environment of microwave heating of waste plastics, high-temperature cracking gas will be generated in the reactor 1, and enter the plate condenser through the hot medium inlet 12, and heat exchange is performed with the circulating cooling medium, resulting in the high-temperature cracking gas cooling down, and the condensable components (such as cracking oil) in the oil gas are liquefied when cooled below its boiling point, and flow to the collection container oil storage box 16 through the hot medium outlet 13. Correspondingly, a cooling liquid (such as heat transfer oil) is arranged in the cooling liquid cylinder 14, which circulates between the plate condenser 9 and the insulation jacket 8 through the circulation pump 15, and cools down the high-temperature cracking gas during the circulation process.
[0032] An oil storage box 16 is installed on the inner side of the reactor 1. The oil storage box 16 is connected to the heat medium outlet 13 through a pipeline. An exhaust port 17 is provided on the oil storage box 16. A metal mesh 18 is installed on the inner side of the oil storage box 16, and the metal mesh 18 is provided in several groups. The metal mesh 18 is vertically arranged. For the high-temperature cracking gas, there are condensable components and some non-condensable components (such as methane, ethane and other low-boiling point gases), so they enter the oil storage box 16 together. The upper part of the oil storage box 16 is used for gas buffering, and the lower part is used for storing oil. Then, these non-condensable components are discharged through the exhaust port 17, so that the gas enters the subsequent processing equipment. For this device, in the process of gas being discharged from the oil storage box 16, the metal mesh 18 is provided to filter and intercept it. The principle is as follows:
[0033] The metal mesh 18 is made of stainless steel and is formed by stacking or weaving fine meshes, and has a high specific surface area. When the gas passes through the mesh, the oil mist or droplets condense into larger droplets after contacting the mesh surface, and the condensed droplets fall due to gravity, separating the airflow.
[0034] A feed port 24 and a vent 25 are installed on both sides of the reactor 1. The feed port 24 is used to supplement the cracking catalyst during the reaction, thereby promoting the cracking reaction of the waste plastic, and the vent 25 is used to communicate with the recycler 2. Electric control valves are installed on the feed port 24 and the vent 25, and the vent 25 is connected to the heat medium inlet 12 through a pipeline.
[0035] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the framework and scope of application of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
