Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of reactor technology, and more specifically, to a reactor and reaction apparatus that achieves lid opening based on all-ceramic bearings. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the core production process widely used in many industries such as metallurgy, chemical engineering, and polymer material preparation involves converting solid raw materials into a molten state through a heating device and then injecting them into a mold for shaping. In traditional production processes, the melting and discharge of solid materials mostly rely on heating containers. After the material melts in the heater, it is then manually poured or transferred to the subsequent mold. The entire process depends on manual intervention for operations such as opening and closing the furnace lid, resulting in a slow production pace, difficulty in increasing output, and high production costs. Furthermore, to allow sufficient space for manual operation and reduce the obstruction of the heater's outer structure, most equipment deliberately simplifies the protective and insulating structures around the heater, directly leading to frequent problems with inadequate heater insulation. In long-term high-temperature production environments, exposed heating components are highly susceptible to risks such as insulation damage and electrical leakage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application aims to provide a reactor and reaction device based on all-ceramic bearings for opening the lid, so as to solve the problems of low production efficiency and leakage of electricity in the related technology when opening the lid manually.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a reactor with an openable lid based on an all-ceramic bearing, comprising: a furnace shell having an inlet and an outlet; a furnace body connected to the furnace shell and extending into the furnace shell via the inlet; the furnace body having a feed inlet and a discharge outlet, with the discharge outlet and outlet being opposite to each other; a heating chamber disposed inside the furnace shell and fitted onto the outside of the furnace body; an all-ceramic bearing including an inner ring and an outer ring that are rotatably fitted; the inner ring being fitted onto the outside of the heating chamber, and the outer ring being rotatable relative to the inner ring; a lower furnace cover adapted to be disposed below the discharge outlet for sealing or opening the discharge outlet; the lower furnace cover being connected to the outer ring, and the lower furnace cover being rotated via the outer ring, enabling the discharge outlet to switch between a closed state and an open state; and a first drive mechanism connected to the outer ring for driving the outer ring to rotate.

[0005] In the above technical solution, the torque of the first drive mechanism is converted into the rotational motion of the lower furnace cover by using all-ceramic bearings, thereby achieving the switching between the closed and open states of the discharge port, thus solving the problem of low production efficiency of traditional manually opened reactors; at the same time, relying on the electrical isolation function of the ceramic material itself, the performance shortcomings of traditional metal bearings under high temperature and electric conditions are made up for, thereby reducing the risk of leakage and improving the operational safety of the reactor.

[0006] In some technical solutions, optionally, a gear ring is provided on the side of the outer ring away from the inner ring; the first drive mechanism is provided with a gear, and the gear and the gear ring mesh with each other.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the use of gears and gear rings not only results in a compact structure and easy assembly, but also a short transmission chain and rapid response. This facilitates the adjustment of the rotation angle of the lower furnace cover by controlling the speed and angle of the first drive mechanism. At the same time, by controlling the number of rotations and angle of the first drive mechanism, the rotation stroke of the lower furnace cover can be precisely controlled, thereby adjusting the opening width of the discharge port and adapting to the unloading requirements under different working conditions.

[0008] In some technical solutions, the reactor may optionally include: a clamping member disposed on the side of the lower furnace cover away from the discharge port and capable of moving in the vertical direction; and a second driving mechanism connected to the clamping member for driving the clamping member to approach or move away from the bottom surface of the lower furnace cover.

[0009] In the above technical solution, when the discharge port is in a closed state, the second drive mechanism drives the clamping component to move upward and push the lower furnace cover from below, so that the lower furnace cover and the end face of the discharge port form a tight fit, thereby providing additional axial clamping force, further improving the sealing performance after the discharge port is closed, and preventing high-temperature molten material or hot gas in the furnace from leaking from the mating gap.

[0010] In some technical solutions, the reactor may optionally include a support platform; the support platform is disposed inside the furnace shell and surrounds the outlet to form an installation cavity with an opening; wherein the clamping member includes a body part and a first limiting part; the body part is provided with a through hole coaxial with the outlet, the body part extends at least partially into the installation cavity, and the first limiting part is disposed on the body part for abutting against the end face of the support platform on the side opposite to the outlet.

[0011] In the above technical solution, when unloading is required, when the second drive mechanism drives the clamping member to move downward, the first limiting part will fit against the upper end surface of the support platform to limit the maximum downward stroke of the clamping member and reduce the risk of excessive pressure deformation caused by excessive downward movement of the clamping member; at the same time, the main body extends into the installation cavity, and the support platform surrounds the side wall of the outlet, which can effectively block the high-speed falling liquid material from splashing in all directions when the molten material is discharged downward from the outlet, thereby confining the material within the area enclosed by the support platform and preventing high-temperature molten droplets from splashing onto surrounding components and causing component damage.

[0012] In some technical solutions, the reactor may optionally include: an upper furnace cover, which is adapted to be disposed above the feed inlet for sealing or opening the feed inlet; and a third drive mechanism connected to the upper furnace cover for driving the upper furnace cover to seal or open the feed inlet.

[0013] In this way, it can be linked with the opening and closing mechanism of the bottom furnace cover to automatically complete the process of feeding, melting reaction and unloading, thereby further improving the automation level and production efficiency of the reactor.

[0014] In a second aspect, this application provides a reaction apparatus, comprising: a fixed platform; a rotating mechanism rotatably disposed on the fixed platform; at least two reaction furnaces with opening lids based on all-ceramic bearings as provided in the first aspect above, wherein at least two reaction furnaces are disposed on the rotating mechanism and are spaced apart circumferentially along the rotating mechanism to switch between a charging station and a reaction station, such that when one reaction furnace is in the charging station, the other reaction furnace is in the reaction station.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the rotating mechanism allows the reactor to move between the charging station and the reaction station. The reactor at the charging station can automatically complete the process of opening the upper furnace cover, adding solid materials, and closing the upper furnace cover. Meanwhile, the reactor at the reaction station completes the high-temperature melting reaction of the materials in a closed environment. After the reaction is completed, the rotating mechanism drives all reactors to switch positions synchronously. The reactor at the original reaction station switches to the charging station to complete the discharge, and the reactor at the original charging station enters the reaction station to start the melting process. This enables continuous production with simultaneous charging, reaction, and unloading, which helps to improve production capacity.

[0016] In some technical solutions, the reaction apparatus may optionally include a feeding mechanism, which is located at the loading station; the feeding mechanism includes: a support; a movable platform slidably mounted on the support; a fourth drive mechanism connected to the movable platform for driving the movable platform to slide along the support; and a hoisting mechanism mounted on the movable platform.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the entire process can be completed automatically without the need for manual operation near the high-temperature furnace, thereby reducing the risk of burns from high temperatures when manually feeding materials.

[0018] In some technical solutions, optionally, the hoisting mechanism includes: a fifth drive mechanism disposed on the mobile platform; a first connector having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the fifth drive mechanism; the fifth drive mechanism being used to drive the first connector to move away from or toward the feed inlet; a second connector being used to connect with the material, the second connector having a slot with a side opening; the second end of the first connector entering or leaving the slot through the side opening; the second end of the first connector having a second limiting part, which abuts against the side wall of the slot when the first connector enters the slot.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the hoisting mechanism and materials can be quickly loaded and separated by translation and lifting, thereby improving the loading speed.

[0020] In some technical solutions, optionally, the first end of the first connecting member is provided with a lifting ring; the fifth drive mechanism is provided with a loading and unloading buckle; the loading and unloading buckle and the lifting ring are engaged.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the shackle and the lifting ring form a quick-release fastening connection. This not only improves the connection strength under heavy load lifting conditions, but also allows for unloading of materials by disassembling the shackle when the first connecting part is worn or deformed and cannot function properly. This eliminates the need to forcibly drag the faulty part and quickly releases the lifting constraints, thereby reducing the probability of safety accidents such as material falling and mechanism jamming.

[0022] In some technical solutions, the reaction apparatus may optionally include a control mechanism, which is connected to the first drive mechanism and the rotating mechanism respectively. The control mechanism is used to output a rotation control signal to the first drive mechanism to drive the outer ring of the all-ceramic bearing to drive the lower furnace cover to complete the opening and closing action of the preset angle. At the same time, it outputs a station switching control signal to the rotating mechanism to drive the reactor to rotate and switch between the charging station and the reaction station in the circumferential direction.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the control mechanism can realize the linkage between the opening and closing of the lower furnace cover and the rotation of multiple workstations. It can complete the fully automated operation according to the preset program without manual intervention, which not only avoids the error of manual operation, but also makes the production rhythm of multiple reactors completely synchronized, thereby improving the operational stability and production efficiency of the entire set of equipment.

[0024] Additional aspects and advantages of the technical solutions of this application will become apparent in the following description or may be learned by practice of this application. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0039] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8The present application provides a detailed description of the reactor and reaction apparatus based on all-ceramic bearings for opening the lid, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, this application provides a reaction furnace 100 with an openable lid based on an all-ceramic bearing, the structure of which includes: a furnace shell 110, a furnace body 120, a heating chamber 130, an all-ceramic bearing 140, a lower furnace cover 150, and a first drive mechanism 101.

[0041] The furnace shell 110 has an inlet 111 and an outlet 112. The furnace body 120 is connected to the furnace shell 110, and the furnace body 120 extends into the furnace shell 110 through the inlet 111; the furnace body 120 has a feed inlet 121 and a discharge outlet 122, and the discharge outlet 122 and the outlet 112 are arranged opposite to each other. The heating chamber 130 is disposed inside the furnace shell 110 and fitted onto the outside of the furnace body 120. The all-ceramic bearing 140 includes an inner ring 141 and an outer ring 142 that are rotatably fitted; the inner ring 141 is fitted onto the outside of the heating chamber 130, and the outer ring 142 can rotate relative to the inner ring 141. The lower furnace cover 150 is adaptedly disposed below the discharge outlet 122 for sealing the discharge outlet 122; the lower furnace cover 150 is connected to the outer ring 142, and the outer ring 142 drives the lower furnace cover 150 to rotate, so that the discharge outlet 122 can switch between a closed state and an open state. The first drive mechanism 101 is connected to the outer ring 142 for driving the outer ring 142 to rotate.

[0042] The furnace shell 110 serves as the external protective shell of the entire reactor 100, providing installation space for internal heating chambers 130 and other components. It is also used to insert the furnace body 120 through the reserved inlet 111 and outlet 112. Meanwhile, the discharge port 122 and outlet 112 are opposite each other to form a discharge channel.

[0043] The furnace body 120 serves as the reaction chamber for the material 300, extending into the interior from the inlet 111 of the furnace shell 110. One end has a feed inlet 121 for feeding the material 300; the other end has a discharge outlet 122, opposite the outlet 112 of the furnace shell 110, for discharging the material. It should be understood that the furnace body 120 is mostly made of high-temperature resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, such as crucibles.

[0044] The heating chamber 130 is used to provide a high-temperature heat source for the furnace body 120 to maintain the temperature environment required for the reaction of the material 300. It is understood that the heating chamber 130 has heating elements that can generate heat, thereby conducting or radiating the heat to the furnace body 120 inside, so that the temperature inside the furnace body 120 reaches the process requirements.

[0045] The lower furnace cover 150 is adapted to be located below the discharge port 122 to cover the discharge port 122 or to allow the discharge port 122 to be opened for unloading.

[0046] The all-ceramic bearing 140 refers to a special rolling bearing whose inner and outer rings and rolling elements are all made of ceramic material. It can withstand high operating temperatures and has insulating properties. The all-ceramic bearing 140 includes an inner ring 141 and an outer ring 142 that rotate and fit together. The inner ring 141 is fitted onto the outside of the heating chamber 130, while the outer ring 142 is connected to the lower furnace cover 150, driving the lower furnace cover 150 to rotate and open / close. Compared to traditional metal bearings, the all-ceramic bearing 140 has excellent high-temperature resistance, allowing it to operate stably for extended periods in the high-temperature environment surrounding the heating chamber 130 without lubrication failure. Simultaneously, the ceramic material itself possesses good electrical insulation properties, forming a reliable insulating barrier between the heating chamber 130 and the furnace shell 110. This effectively reduces the risk of leakage caused by damage to the insulation layer of the heating chamber 130, thereby improving the operational safety of the reactor 100 under high-temperature and electrical conditions. For example, the all-ceramic bearing 140 can be made of ceramic materials such as zirconium oxide or silicon nitride.

[0047] The first drive mechanism 101 is used to drive the outer ring 142 of the all-ceramic bearing 140 to rotate, thereby driving the lower furnace cover 150 to rotate synchronously, thus controlling the opening and closing state of the discharge port 122, thereby solving the problem of low production efficiency of the reactor caused by traditional manual opening of the cover.

[0048] In the above embodiment, by using the all-ceramic bearing 140 to convert the torque of the first drive mechanism 101 into the rotational motion of the lower furnace cover 150, the discharge port 122 is switched between closed and open states, thereby solving the problem of low production efficiency of traditional manually opened reactors; at the same time, relying on the electrical isolation function of the ceramic material itself, the performance shortcomings of traditional metal bearings under high temperature and electric conditions are made up for, thereby reducing the risk of leakage and improving the operational safety of the reactor 100.

[0049] In some embodiments, the outer ring 142 is provided with a gear ring 143 on the side away from the inner ring 141; the first drive mechanism 101 is provided with a gear 102, and the gear 102 and the gear ring 143 mesh with each other.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the torque output by the first drive mechanism 101 is transmitted to the outer ring 142 of the all-ceramic bearing 140 via the cooperation of gear 102 and gear ring 143, thereby driving the lower furnace cover 150 to rotate, realizing the switching between the closed and open states of the discharge port 122. The use of gear 102 and gear ring 143 not only results in a compact structure and simple assembly, but also a short transmission chain and rapid response. It is convenient to adjust the rotation angle of the lower furnace cover 150 by controlling the rotation speed and angle of the first drive mechanism 101. At the same time, by controlling the number of rotations and angle of the first drive mechanism 101, the rotation stroke of the lower furnace cover 150 can be precisely controlled, realizing the adjustment of the opening width of the discharge port 122, thus adapting to the unloading requirements under different working conditions.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In practical applications, the first drive mechanism 101 is located on the outside of the furnace shell 110. The furnace shell 110 is provided with a clearance groove at the position corresponding to the gear 102. The gear 102 passes through the clearance groove at least partially and meshes with the gear ring 143 inside the furnace shell 110.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first drive mechanism 101 includes a bearing housing, a bearing, and a motor. The bearing housing and the furnace shell 110 are fixedly connected. The bearing is mounted on the bearing housing. The output shaft of the motor is assembled and fixed to the bearing. A gear 102 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the bearing provides stable rigid support for the motor output shaft, which can evenly distribute the radial and axial loads on the output shaft during operation, and avoid eccentric shaking of the output shaft during long-term operation. This can improve the meshing accuracy of the gear 102 and the outer ring 142 of the all-ceramic bearing 140, and improve the operational stability and service life of the transmission link. At the same time, it can also reduce wear and noise during the transmission process.

[0054] It should be understood that the motor can be detachably mounted on the outside of the furnace shell 110 by bolts.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the reactor 100 further includes a clamping member 160 and a second driving mechanism 103. The clamping member 160 is disposed on the side of the lower furnace cover 150 opposite to the discharge port 122 and is movable in the vertical direction. The second driving mechanism 103 is connected to the clamping member 160 and is used to drive the clamping member 160 to approach or move away from the bottom surface of the lower furnace cover 150.

[0056] In the above embodiment, when the discharge port 122 is closed, the second drive mechanism 103 drives the clamping member 160 upward, pushing the lower furnace cover 150 from below, so that the lower furnace cover 150 and the end face of the discharge port 122 form a tight fit, thereby providing additional axial clamping force and further improving the sealing performance after the discharge port 122 is closed, preventing high-temperature molten material or hot gas in the furnace from leaking from the mating gap. When it is necessary to open the discharge port 122, the second drive mechanism 103 first drives the clamping member 160 downward to disengage from the bottom surface of the lower furnace cover 150, so as to eliminate the axial clamping constraint of the lower furnace cover 150. At this time, the first drive mechanism 101 can drive the lower furnace cover 150 to rotate freely with the outer ring 142 of the all-ceramic bearing 140. In this way, the risk of the lower furnace cover 150 rotating under clamping force causing damage to the sealing surface and transmission jamming can be reduced.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the second drive mechanism 103 is disposed on the outside of the furnace shell 110, and the second drive mechanism 103 and the clamping member are connected by a connecting rod. The furnace shell 110 is provided with a clearance groove corresponding to the position of the connecting rod. Exemplarily, the second drive mechanism 103 is a cylinder. The connecting rod and the clamping member are fixed together by bolts.

[0058] In some embodiments, the reactor 100 further includes a support platform 170; the support platform 170 is disposed within the furnace shell 110 and surrounds the outlet 112 to form an installation cavity 171 with an opening; wherein, the clamping member 160 includes a body portion 161 and a first limiting portion 162; the body portion 161 is provided with a through hole 163 coaxial with the discharge port 122, the body portion 161 extends at least partially into the installation cavity 171, and the first limiting portion 162 is disposed on the body portion 161 for abutting against the end face of the support platform 170 on the side opposite to the outlet 112.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the support platform 170 is fixedly installed inside the furnace shell 110 and is arranged circumferentially around the outlet 112 of the furnace shell 110, forming a mounting cavity 171 with an opening at the top. At least one section of the body portion 161 of the clamping member 160 extends into the mounting cavity 171 formed by the support platform 170, and the first limiting portion 162 is provided at the corresponding position of the body portion 161, which can form an axial abutment fit with the end face of the support platform 170 on the side opposite to the outlet 112. When unloading is required, the second drive mechanism 103 drives the clamping member 160 to move downward. The first limiting part 162 will fit against the upper end surface of the support platform 170 to limit the maximum downward stroke of the clamping member 160 and reduce the risk of excessive pressure deformation caused by excessive downward movement of the clamping member 160. At the same time, the body part 161 extends into the mounting cavity 171, and the support platform 170 surrounds the side wall of the outlet 112. When the molten material is discharged downward from the discharge port 122, it can effectively block the high-speed falling liquid material from splashing in all directions, thereby confining the material 300 within the area enclosed by the support platform 170 and preventing high-temperature molten droplets from splashing onto surrounding components and causing component damage.

[0060] In some embodiments, the reactor 100 based on all-ceramic bearings for opening and closing further includes an upper furnace cover 180 and a third drive mechanism 104. The upper furnace cover 180 is adaptedly disposed above the feed inlet 121 for sealing or opening the feed inlet 121; the third drive mechanism 104 is connected to the upper furnace cover 180 for driving the upper furnace cover 180 to seal or open the feed inlet 121.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the upper furnace cover 180 is adapted to be installed above the feed inlet 121 of the furnace body 120, and is used to seal the feed inlet 121 during the material reaction stage to maintain a sealed high-temperature reaction environment inside the furnace; the third drive mechanism 104 is connected to the upper furnace cover 180 through a transmission connection, and can drive the upper furnace cover 180 to complete lifting or horizontal movement, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the feed inlet 121. In this way, it can be linked with the opening and closing mechanism of the lower furnace cover 150 at the bottom to automatically complete the process of feeding, melting reaction, and unloading, thereby further improving the automation level and production efficiency of the reactor 100.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the third drive mechanism 104 is a motor used to drive the upper furnace cover 180 to rotate, so as to open or close the feed port 121.

[0063] In some embodiments, the heating chamber 130 is provided with a protruding ring at one end near the inlet 111, the furnace shell 110 is provided with a stepped portion, a plurality of protruding posts are provided on the stepped portion, and the protruding ring is provided with an assembly hole at the position corresponding to the protruding post, and the protruding post passes through the assembly hole.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the heating chamber 130 is assembled by the cooperation of multiple protrusions and assembly holes, which can prevent the heating chamber 130 from rotating.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the protruding post is also covered with an insulating sleeve.

[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, this application also provides a reaction apparatus 200, including a fixed platform 210, a rotating mechanism 220, and at least two reaction furnaces 100 with lids opened based on all-ceramic bearings as proposed in any of the above embodiments. At least two reaction furnaces 100 are disposed on the rotating mechanism 220 and spaced apart circumferentially along the rotating mechanism 220 to switch between a charging station and a reaction station; such that when one reaction furnace 100 is in the charging station, the other reaction furnace 100 is in the reaction station.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the rotating mechanism 220 allows the reactor 100 to move between the charging station and the reaction station. The reactor 100 in the charging station can automatically complete the process of opening the upper furnace cover 180, adding solid materials, and closing the upper furnace cover 180. Meanwhile, the reactor 100 in the reaction station completes the high-temperature melting reaction of the material 300 in a closed environment. After the reaction is completed, the rotating mechanism 220 drives all reactors 100 to switch positions synchronously. The reactor 100 in the original reaction station switches to the charging station to complete the discharge, and the reactor 100 in the original charging station enters the reaction station to start the melting process. This enables continuous production by charging, reacting, and unloading simultaneously, which helps to improve production capacity.

[0068] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the reaction apparatus 200 further includes a feeding mechanism 230, which is disposed at the loading station. The feeding mechanism 230 includes a support 231, a moving platform 232, a fourth drive mechanism 234, and a hoisting mechanism 233. The moving platform 232 is slidably disposed on the support 231. The fourth drive mechanism 234 is connected to the moving platform 232 and is used to drive the moving platform 232 to slide along the support 231. The hoisting mechanism 233 is disposed on the moving platform 232.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the mobile platform 232 is slidably mounted on the support 231 via a linear guide rail. The fourth drive mechanism 234 is connected to the mobile platform 232 and can drive the mobile platform 232 to slide back and forth along the linear guide rail. The hoisting mechanism 233 is fixedly installed on the bearing surface of the mobile platform 232 for hoisting the material 300. When the empty reactor 100 rotates to the charging position with the rotating mechanism 220 and completes the opening of the upper furnace cover 180, the fourth drive mechanism 234 drives the mobile platform 232 to slide to the preset material picking position. The hoisting mechanism 233 can grab a preset weight of solid molten raw material. Then, the mobile platform 232 slides along the support 231 to directly above the feed inlet 121 of the reactor 100, and the hoisting mechanism 233 lowers the material 300 to complete the feeding. The entire set of actions can be completed automatically without the need for manual operation near the high-temperature furnace body 120, thereby reducing the risk of burns from high temperatures during manual feeding.

[0070] In some embodiments, the fourth drive mechanism 234 includes a walking motor, a sprocket, and a chain. The mobile platform 232 is equipped with walking wheels, which are connected by a chain for transmission. The walking motor is connected to the sprocket.

[0071] After the traveling motor receives the control signal and starts, the output shaft drives the sprocket to rotate; the sprocket transmits torque to the traveling wheel through the chain, driving the traveling wheel to rotate around its axis; the traveling wheel rolls on the guide rail, thereby driving the entire mobile platform 232 and the hoisting mechanism 233 set on it to move linearly along a predetermined path.

[0072] In some embodiments, the mobile platform 232 may optionally be provided with a travel detection element for automatically stopping when the mobile platform 232 has moved into position.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the hoisting mechanism 233 includes a fifth drive mechanism 235, a first connector 236, and a second connector 237. The fifth drive mechanism 235 is disposed on the moving platform 232. The first connector 236 has a first end 2361 and a second end 2362, the first end 2361 being connected to the fifth drive mechanism 235; the fifth drive mechanism 235 is used to drive the first connector 236 to move away from or toward the feed inlet 121. The second connector 237 is used to connect with the material 300. The second connector 237 is provided with a slot 2371, and the slot 2371 has a side opening 2372. The second end 2362 of the first connector 236 enters or exits the slot 2371 through the side opening 2372. The second end 2362 of the first connector 236 is provided with a second limiting part 2364. When the first connector 236 enters the slot 2371, the second limiting part 2364 is used to abut against the side wall of the slot 2371.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the second connector 237 serves as an adaptable mounting component for the material 300, and can form a detachable connection with the pre-prepared solid material. The fourth drive mechanism 234 drives the moving platform 232 to move the first connector 236 from the side opening 2372 of the slot 2371 into the slot 2371. At this time, the fifth drive mechanism 235 drives the first connector 236 to rise, allowing the second limiting part 2364 to form an axial abutment with the side wall of the slot 2371, locking the relative positions of the first connector 236 and the second connector 237, thereby achieving rapid assembly and disassembly between the material 300 and the hoisting mechanism 233. In the above embodiment, the rapid mounting and disassembly of the hoisting mechanism 233 and the material 300 can be completed simply by translation and lifting, thereby improving the loading speed.

[0075] In some embodiments, the fifth drive mechanism 235 includes a motor and a lifting chain, with the motor and the driving wheel of the lifting chain connected. The motor drives the driving wheel to rotate synchronously, and relying on the transmission characteristics of the chain, the rotational motion of the motor is converted into the vertical lifting motion of the first connecting member 236, thereby driving the first connecting member 236 to complete the reciprocating movement toward or away from the feed port 121 of the reactor 100.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the mobile platform 232 is also equipped with counterweights located on both sides of the chain. The counterweights are used to create a gravitational balance on both sides of the lifting chain, thereby reducing the overturning moment generated by the weight of the first connector 236 and the suspended material 300 on one side of the chain, and reducing the risk of chain derailment.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first end 2361 of the first connector 236 is provided with a lifting ring 2363; the fifth drive mechanism 235 is provided with a loading and unloading buckle 238; the loading and unloading buckle 238 and the lifting ring 2363 are fastened together.

[0078] The shackle 238 and the lifting ring 2363 form a quick-release fastening connection. This not only improves the connection strength under heavy load lifting conditions, but also allows for the unloading of material 300 by disassembling the shackle 238 when the first connecting part 236 is worn or deformed and cannot work properly. This eliminates the need to forcibly drag the faulty part and quickly releases the lifting constraints, thereby reducing the probability of safety accidents such as material 300 falling or mechanism jamming.

[0079] In some embodiments, the reaction apparatus 200 further includes a control mechanism 240, which is connected to the first drive mechanism 101 and the rotation mechanism 220 respectively. The control mechanism 240 is used to output a rotation control signal to the first drive mechanism 101 to drive the outer ring 142 of the all-ceramic bearing 140 to drive the lower furnace cover 150 to complete the opening and closing action of a preset angle. At the same time, it outputs a station switching control signal to the rotation mechanism 220 to drive the reactor 100 to rotate and switch between the charging station and the reaction station in the circumferential direction.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the control mechanism 240 can realize the linkage between the opening and closing action of the lower furnace cover 150 and the multi-station rotation action. It can complete the fully automated operation according to the preset program without manual intervention, which not only avoids the error of manual operation, but also allows the production rhythm of multiple reactors 100 to be completely synchronized, thereby improving the operational stability and production efficiency of the entire set of equipment.

[0081] It should be understood that the control mechanism 240 can also be connected to the second drive mechanism 103, the third drive mechanism 104, the fourth drive mechanism 234 and the fifth drive mechanism 235; thereby realizing fully automated operation and further improving the operational stability and production efficiency of the entire device.
