[0040] Extend equipment life: By preventing sewage leakage and retention, the second seal helps protect equipment components such as the base and cover plate from sewage erosion and corrosion, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing the cost of equipment maintenance and repair.
[0041] Improve operational safety: Maintaining the sealing performance of the drainage system helps reduce operational risks caused by sewage leakage and improves the safety and working comfort of operators.
[0042] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0047] The precise drainage system and sealing design can effectively prevent sewage leakage and reduce environmental pollution. In addition, the cleaning process uses ultrasonic and high-pressure water technology, which can save water resources, reduce energy consumption, and achieve environmental protection and energy saving compared to traditional cleaning methods.
[0048] In summary, the decoking mechanism provides a reliable solution for the cleaning of coal-to-acetylene plasma reactors through its design of efficient cleaning, excellent sealing performance, simple structure, stability and reliability, and environmental protection and energy saving. It also provides a safer and more environmentally friendly cleaning technology for industrial production.
