[0024] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0025] The following describes in detail the specific implementation of the present invention with reference to specific embodiments.

[0026] As Figures 1-4 shown, a civilian straw carbonization furnace provided by an embodiment of the present invention is used for the resource treatment of agricultural straws, and includes a bracket 1. A solar heat collecting tube 6 is fixedly installed on the bracket 1. A material bin 7 is installed inside the solar heat collecting tube 6. An inlet and outlet for the material bin 7 to enter and exit is provided at one end of the solar heat collecting tube 6. An air outlet 8 is further provided on the lower side of one end of the solar heat collecting tube 6 close to its inlet and outlet. Solar heat concentrating plates 5 are distributed and installed on both sides of the solar heat collecting tube 6. An adjusting assembly for controlling the angles of the two solar heat concentrating plates 5 is further installed on the bracket 1.

[0027] Preferably, the solar heat collecting tube 6 is fixed to the bracket 1 through a clamp 4.

[0028] Preferably, a snap connection is adopted between the solar heat collecting tube 6 and the material bin 7 and sealed with a rubber ring. The inner cavity of the solar heat collecting tube 6 is the core area where the straw undergoes pyrolysis carbonization reaction. The material bin 7 is made of stainless steel material. A heat insulation handle is fixed at the end of the material bin 7, which can be used by the user to draw out the material bin 7 and load materials.

[0029] Preferably, a temperature measuring instrument 3 and a sundial 10 are further installed at one end of the solar heat collecting tube 6 away from its inlet and outlet. The temperature measuring instrument 3 adopts a bimetallic pointer thermometer, with a temperature measuring upper limit of up to 500 °C and an accuracy of up to ±5 °C. According to the light conditions and temperature monitoring results, the angles of the solar heat concentrating plates 5 are adjusted to control the temperature of the carbonization furnace.

[0030] Preferably, the adjusting assembly includes a carrier rod, a gear, and a rocker 2. A carrier rod is provided on each side of the solar heat collecting tube 6. The carrier rod is rotatably connected to the bracket 1 in a damped manner. Two solar concentrator plates 5 are respectively fixed on the two carrier rods. The solar concentrator plate 5 is a key component for concentrating solar energy onto the solar heat collecting tube 6, and it reflects and focuses sunlight through an adjustable arc surface structure. A gear is fixed at one end of the carrier rod, and the two gears are meshed. A rocker 2 is also installed at the end of one of the carrier rods. By operating the rocker 2 to drive the carrier rod and using the transmission of the gear, the angles of the two solar concentrator plates 5 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the temperature. In addition, the surface of the solar concentrator plate 5 is also coated with a high molecular mirror aluminum coating, whose main function is to enhance the absorption and reflection capabilities of the solar concentrator plate 5 for sunlight. This coating can change the propagation path and absorption characteristics of light, enabling more sunlight to be collected by the solar concentrator plate 5 and focused onto the solar heat collecting tube 6.

[0031] Preferably, a plurality of moving wheels 9 are also installed at the bottom of the bracket 1, which is conducive to the movement of the device.

[0032] In addition, an external protective structure can be arranged for the entire household straw carbonization furnace as needed, mainly serving to protect the internal components, insulate heat, and prevent heat dissipation. It can be made of quartz silicon material with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and good oxidation resistance. The outer shell adopts a double-layer structure with a vacuum in the middle, which can effectively reduce the heat transfer to the external environment and improve the energy utilization efficiency of the carbonization furnace. The inner wall is coated with aluminum nitride heat absorption coating (reflecting and absorbing light), which can effectively avoid heat radiation dissipation and achieve the functions of heat preservation and light concentration. One end of the shell is open (for the entry and exit of the silo 7), and one end is sealed. A small hole is opened at the lower side of the side wall and led out by a thin tube (i.e., connected in cooperation with the gas outlet 8) to recover the by-product wood vinegar liquid from the pyrolysis gas. There is a one-way valve above to timely discharge the unnecessary gas and ensure the safety of the entire system.

[0033] The specific working process of this household straw carbonization furnace is as follows:

[0034] 1) Place the household straw carbonization furnace on an open space, open the solar concentrator plate 5, and adjust the position of the carbonization furnace and the angle of the solar concentrator plate 5 so that the shadow of the sundial 10 coincides with its center dot;

[0038] 5) During the carbonization process, liquid by-product pyroligneous acid can be collected from the air outlet 8 of the solar heat collector tube 6 (after the hot flue gas generated by the pyrolysis of straw in the bin 7 is produced, under the action of the positive pressure in the furnace, the hot flue gas flows down along the collection port, and the overall furnace body presents an inclination of about 10°, so as to achieve the purpose of collecting the liquid product pyroligneous acid). When there is no liquid droplet precipitation for 5 consecutive minutes, it can be considered that the carbonization is complete;

[0039] 6) After the carbonization is completed, turn off the solar concentrator 5, take it out after natural cooling, or quickly extinguish it with cold water after taking out the bin 7;

[0040] 7) Repeat the above operations. Specific Embodiment 1
