Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pyrolysis technology, and in particular to a chain pyrolysis device and pyrolysis method with longitudinal flexible filaments. Background Technology
[0002] Organic waste materials such as paper, tires, and fibers need to be processed into strips in some industrial and agricultural production processes. Textiles, rubber products, and plastic products also require cutting and trimming before molding, generating strip-shaped waste. If these strip-shaped wastes are carelessly discarded or landfilled, they not only pollute the environment but also result in a significant waste of resources.
[0003] Pyrolysis is a highly efficient method for treating organic strip-shaped waste. Compared with traditional methods, it offers advantages such as shorter processing cycles, higher conversion efficiency, significant volume reduction, efficient solidification of heavy metals, and avoidance of the formation of harmful substances like dioxins. It also yields high-value solid-liquid-gas byproducts. However, existing pyrolysis equipment has several shortcomings when processing strip-shaped raw materials. For example, organic raw materials soften and clump together easily when heated. Furthermore, the large size of the strips inevitably leads to blockages within the pyrolysis unit, causing severe coking and slagging problems, hindering heat transfer, and preventing the unit from operating stably for extended periods. If additional crushing pretreatment measures are used to pulverize the strip-shaped raw materials, it significantly increases the power consumption of the reaction unit, greatly raising processing costs and resulting in a bulky equipment.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design new pyrolysis reaction devices that can ensure that strip-shaped waste materials can be directly fed into the pyrolysis reaction chamber for efficient pyrolysis without crushing and pretreatment, while also promptly cleaning up adhering coke and pyrolysis residues to prevent device blockage and maintain the stable operation of the pyrolysis process. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Furthermore, the heating shaft is set to a temperature of 300 to 800 degrees Celsius, and the raw material is large-sized strip-shaped organic waste that has not been crushed or pre-treated.

[0055] This invention discloses a chain pyrolysis device with longitudinal flexible filaments, capable of directly and efficiently pyrolyzing large-sized strip-shaped organic waste. The core components include a pair of flat chains, a flexible reaction net, and flexible scrapers. The flexible reaction net is fixed to the pair of flat chains via transverse fins, driving a drive shaft and drive wheel to rotate, causing the flat chains and flexible reaction net to move in a circular motion at a set speed. Parallel flexible filaments are vertically spanned across the fins of the flexible reaction net, with the filaments aligned with the direction of motion and driven by fixed plates. After the strip-shaped waste enters the sealed shell and falls onto the flexible reaction net, it softens as the temperature rises, wrapping around and adhering to the parallel flexible filaments, simultaneously initiating pyrolysis. Driven by the flat chains, the flexible reaction net moves the waste from the beginning to the end of the reaction zone and into the separation zone. In the separation zone, the flexible scraper intermittently collides with the parallel flexible filaments, generating elastic high-frequency vibrations. These vibrations and scraping action remove residual coke and slag from the surface of the flexible reaction net, and automatic discharge is achieved through gravity. Because of the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following effects: 1. Stable equipment operation: The strip-shaped waste material used as raw material undergoes pyrolysis on a flexible reaction mesh. The raw material softens when heated and can spontaneously adhere to the flexible wires. At the same time, it ensures that the contact area between the raw material and the flexible wires is small, so that the pyrolysis residue can easily detach spontaneously under the intermittent collision action of the flexible scraper. The baffle prevents the raw material from falling into the reaction zone and sticking to the inner surface of the sealed shell, effectively preventing blockage of the sealed shell and the chain drive mechanism, and ensuring that the equipment can operate smoothly and continuously. The fins span two flat chains, which can enhance the stability of the chain drive mechanism.
[0056] 2. High heat transfer efficiency and high pyrolysis efficiency: The flexible reaction mesh and heating shaft are located inside the sealed shell and are close to each other, which reduces heat dissipation. At the same time, each heating shaft can be independently temperature controlled to ensure that the raw materials continue to pyrolyze at the optimal temperature required by the pyrolysis curve, resulting in high reaction efficiency.
[0057] 3. Effective control of reaction time: Since the raw materials mainly come into contact with the elastic flexible filaments, the flexible filaments moving to the separation zone will experience violent vibrations when they encounter the flexible scraper. However, due to the obstruction of the fins, the vibrations are difficult to pass across the fins and be transmitted to the flexible filaments located in the reaction zone, thus avoiding the accidental fall of unreacted raw materials. At the same time, the size of the reaction zone is easy to adjust, ensuring an effective reaction time.
[0058] 4. Convenient reaction control and wide adaptability of raw materials: Depending on the characteristics of the raw materials and the type of target product, flexible reaction nets with different gaps and connection methods, as well as flexible scrapers with different sizes and layouts, can be replaced. At the same time, the feed rate, drive shaft speed, conveyor belt running speed, pyrolysis temperature and other parameters of the device can be flexibly controlled to adjust the pyrolysis reaction process, so as to achieve efficient pyrolysis of different raw materials in a targeted manner.
[0059] 5. Automatic slag discharge: The movement direction of the flexible scraper is perpendicular to the movement direction of the flexible wire. At the same time, the fixed shaft is divided into two coaxial sections. An independent drive area is set at the end of the chain drive mechanism to ensure that there is no shaft obstruction below the separation zone. The coke and slag remaining after pyrolysis will be automatically discharged from the discharge port under the action of the flexible scraper and gravity.
[0060] 6. Simple structure and easy maintenance: No complex rotating components are required. The core of the chain drive mechanism is a common chain plate conveyor belt. The finned plates are connected to the flat chain, and the flexible wires are attached to the outer edge of the finned plates. They can slide on the support plate and be pushed by the fixed plate. The conveyor belt is fixed to the sealed shell through the drive shaft, which is convenient for replacement and easy for device maintenance.
[0061] 7. Compact device with high space utilization: Large-sized strip-shaped raw materials can be directly fed into the pyrolysis device for pyrolysis without being crushed into particles, which can save the need for additional pretreatment, stirring, decoking and other equipment. At the same time, the core of the device is only a chain drive mechanism, which makes the device compact, improves the overall space utilization, and makes it easy to expand the processing scale of the device by extending the reaction zone.
[0062] 8. Effective dechlorination and clean emissions: Pyrolysis is an anaerobic process that produces reducing components such as H2 and CO. Moreover, the temperature is relatively low, which can effectively inhibit the formation of harmful substances such as dioxins from the source and achieve efficient dechlorination.
[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
