DETAILED DESCRIPTION

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.

[0020] See also Figure 1-2A fixed bed gasifier with multi-mode switching comprises a furnace body 1, wherein a charging port 2 is arranged on the top of the furnace body 1, an ash tray 3 is arranged on the bottom, an upper air inlet 4 is connected to the ash tray 3, and a gas outlet 5 and a lower air inlet 6 are arranged on the side wall of the furnace body 1 from top to bottom; wherein the gas outlet 5 is connected to a cyclone dust collector 7; the upper air inlet 4 is connected to a blower 10 through a first three-way valve 8 and a second three-way valve 9 in series; the lower air inlet 6 is connected to the second three-way valve 9, so that the air at the blower outlet is delivered to the upper air inlet 4 or the lower air inlet 6 in different time periods, so as to realize time-sharing gasification; the furnace body 1 is cylindrical, the upper part of the furnace body 1 is a cyclone air inlet self-feeding lower air gasifier, the gas is drawn out from the interlayer channel of the gasifier in the middle, and the lower part of the furnace body 1 is an upper reaction zone for air heat storage gasification and water-coal gasification to produce hydrogen. The gas is drawn out from the gas outlet 5, and the hydrogen-rich water gas and air gas are respectively transported to the pressure swing adsorption section and the gas boiler through the third three-way valve 11. The air supply is switched between the upper downward suction and the lower upward suction, and at different times, according to different working conditions, between heat storage gasification and water gas gasification, thereby realizing a multi-operating mode in which the hydrogen-rich gas and air gas alternately flow out of the furnace body 1 through different outlets.

[0021] Furthermore, there are four downward air inlets 6, which are evenly arranged along the circumference of the side wall of the furnace body 1; an air intake pipe 14 is provided in the downward air intake pipe 6, and the air outlet end of the air intake pipe 14 is horizontal and has a downward section. The air outlet end of the air intake pipe 14 forms an angle of 15-30° with the center line of the furnace body 1, and the air enters the furnace through the rotating nozzles formed by the four air intake pipes 14, forming a stable downward swirling airflow, ensuring balanced air intake of the downward air intake gasifier at the upper part of the furnace body 1, and uniform distribution of the fire layer.

[0022] Furthermore, the storage space above the air inlet pipe 14 is used as a feeder to introduce biomass materials into the gasifier. The space in the furnace above the outlet end of the air inlet pipe 14 and below the feed port 2 is used as a storage bin, which has a large storage capacity and a long feeding interval, which is conducive to material level detection.

[0023] Furthermore, the steam valve port of the first three-way valve 8 is connected to a steam source and connected to a boiler to generate steam.

[0024] Furthermore, a third three-way valve 11 is connected to the top of the cyclone dust collector 7; the third three-way valve 11 is respectively connected to an air gas pipeline 12 and a water gas pipeline 13. The first three-way valve 8, the second three-way valve 9 and the third three-way valve 11 are all program-controlled valves.

[0025] Furthermore, the side wall of the furnace body 1 includes an inner interlayer 15 and an outer interlayer 16, the gas outlet 5 is connected to the outer interlayer 16, and the upward air inlet 4 is connected to the grate at the center of the ash pan 2 and introduced into the gasifier through the interlayer gap for upward suction gasification reaction.

[0026] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is provided below the air intake pipe 14. Two-core K-graded thermocouples are vertically installed at 200 mm and 600 mm below the air intake pipe 14 to measure the position and temperature of the oxide layer and the position and temperature of the carbon layer. When the temperature reaches the set value, the operating mode of each program-controlled valve is switched. This installation method can use the solid air intake pipe to provide good protection for the thermocouple sleeve.

[0027] When the utility model is in operation, the gasifier is divided into two parts, the upper part is a downdraft gasifier, and the lower part is an updraft gasifier. When the upper part is downdrafting, the air passes through the second three-way valve 9 under the action of the blower, enters the furnace body 1 from the downdraft air inlet 6, and passes through the cyclone nozzle (composed of four air inlet pipes 14) to form a rotating downward airflow. After high-temperature reaction, low-tar air and fuel gas are obtained, which enter the middle outer interlayer and exchange heat with the inner interlayer air, and are led out through the fuel gas outlet 5 and sent to the cyclone dust collector 7. Gas-solid separation is carried out in the cyclone dust collector, and the gas is discharged from the top of the dust collector and sent to the gas boiler through the third three-way valve 11. The semi-coke charcoal generated by the downdraft gasification reaction moves to the lower part of the gasifier during the fixed bed gasification operation. After the set working time of the downdraft gasification of the upper part of the gasifier is reached, or the temperature detects that the oxidation layer has reached the vicinity of the air inlet, the second three-way valve 9 is switched. Valve mouth, open the first three-way valve 8, let air enter the furnace body 1 from the upper air inlet, the air undergoes oxidation-reduction reaction with the high-temperature carbon layer to obtain tar-free air fuel gas, enters the middle outer interlayer and exchanges heat with the inner interlayer air, and then is led out from the fuel gas outlet 5 and sent to the cyclone dust collector 7 for gas-solid separation. The gas is led out from the top of the dust collector. When the temperature of the oxidation layer at the lower part of the furnace body reaches the upper limit (the fuel gas temperature reaches the set value), the first three-way valve 8 is switched to allow steam to enter the furnace body 1, and the obtained water gas is led out from the fuel gas outlet 5 and sent to the cyclone dust collector 7, where gas-solid separation is carried out, and the gas flows out from the top of the dust collector. By switching the third three-way valve, the gas passes through the water gas pipeline 13 and enters the pressure swing adsorption section to extract hydrogen. The process of decomposing water vapor to produce hydrogen is an endothermic reaction. The oxidation temperature gradually decreases, and the temperature near the gas outlet 5 decreases synchronously. When the set value is reached, the first three-way valve 8 is switched to allow air to enter the furnace body 1, and the lower part is sucked up again to heat up the air and store heat. When the temperature of the oxidation layer at the lower part of the furnace body reaches the upper limit (the gas temperature reaches the set value), the first three-way valve 8 is switched to allow steam to enter the furnace body 1 to produce water gas. Under the action of the ash pan ash discharge movement, the upper semi-coke charcoal moves downward basically (the number of reciprocating cycles can be set as a conversion condition), and the water gas heats up and stores heat and produces hydrogen. The semi-coke charcoal at the upper part of the furnace body is basically consumed. When the first three-way valve 8 completes the last air heating and heat storage procedure, the air inlet 6 is switched through the second three-way valve 9 to enter the furnace body 1, and the lower part is sucked up for gasification to produce semi-coke charcoal. The air gas is supplied to the boiler through the third three-way valve 11, and the subsequent upward absorption oxidation layer temperature heating and heat storage and hydrogen production mode are repeated, and target gases with different components are obtained in different time periods.
