DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0016] See also Figure 1-2 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0017] A catalyst continuous feeding device comprises a catalyst tank 1, a first discharge pipe 2 is provided at the bottom of the catalyst tank 1, a second control valve 10 is installed on the first discharge pipe 2, a discharge pipe 6 is connected to the bottom of the first discharge pipe 2, a discharger 7 is connected to the lower part of the discharge pipe 6, a fixed air duct 20 is embedded in the side of the discharger 7, a blowing pipe 18 located in the inner cavity of the discharger 7 is connected to the lower end of the fixed air duct 20, a plurality of blowing holes 19 are opened downward on the circumference of the blowing pipe 18, a first corrugated pipe 5 is connected to the upper end of the fixed air duct 20, a conveying air duct 4 is connected to the end of the first corrugated pipe 5, a first control valve 3 is installed on the circumference of the fixed air duct 20 and at a position outside the discharger 7, a second discharge pipe 8 is connected to the upper part of the side of the discharger 7, a second corrugated pipe 9 is connected to the end of the second discharge pipe 8, a first feed pipe 12 is connected to the end of the second corrugated pipe 9, a settler 14 is connected to the end of the first feed pipe 12.

[0018] A third bellows 17 is connected to the feed channel of the catalyst tank 1 , a feed pipe 16 is connected to the top of the third bellows 17 , and a feed valve 15 is installed on the feed pipe 16 .

[0019] A second material delivery pipeline 13 is connected between the blowing pipeline 18 and the upper portion of the catalyst tank 1 , and a third control valve 11 is installed on the second material delivery pipeline 13 .

[0020] The bottom of the discharge pipe 6 extends to the lower part of the inner cavity of the discharger 7 .

[0021] The blowing duct 18 is annularly sleeved on the lower part of the circumference of the discharge duct 6 .

[0022] The catalyst in the catalyst tank 1 automatically flows into the discharger 7 through the discharge pipe 6 and accumulates at the bottom of the discharger 7, blocking the excess catalyst in the catalyst tank 1 from continuing to flow in. When the delivery air is blown to the surface of the accumulated catalyst through the delivery air duct 4 and the fixed air duct 20 in conjunction with the blowing pipe 18 and the blowing hole 19, the catalyst on the accumulation surface is lifted up, so that a dilute phase area with catalyst particles is formed on the upper part of the accumulation surface. The catalyst enters the second discharge pipe 8 through the discharge port. The feeding speed of the discharger 7 can be controlled by changing the purge delivery air volume. When the amount of catalyst accumulation at the bottom of the discharger 7 decreases, the catalyst in the catalyst tank 1 will automatically replenish the catalyst to the discharger 7 through the discharge pipe 6.

[0023] The catalyst tank 1 is placed on three weighing sensors. In addition to being in contact with the weighing sensors, the catalyst tank 1 is also connected to other external pipelines by means of elastic bellows (first bellows 5, second bellows 9 and third bellows 17). The entire feeding system is in an elastic environment and can be weighed. The change (reduction) in the weight of the catalyst in the catalyst tank 1 per unit time can be measured to know the catalyst conveying speed. By adjusting the air volume of the conveying air through the first control valve 3, the catalyst conveying speed can be controlled. The weight reduction values ​​of the feeder in each time period are accumulated to obtain the cumulative value of the feeding amount.
