Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of furfural production, and particularly relates to a slag discharge valve device for continuous furfural production. Background Art
[0002] Furfural is a compound organic compound produced primarily through the acid hydrolysis of pentosans to form pentoses, followed by dehydration and cyclization. Currently, furfural is primarily produced from agricultural crops like corncobs. Its active chemical properties and numerous derivatives make it widely used in medicine, plastics, and agriculture. Furthermore, utilizing corncobs as a "waste" crop also has environmental benefits. During furfural production, a hydrolysis vessel is used to store the raw materials.
[0003] Currently, furfural production and hydrolysis are the most critical components of furfural production in my country. A typical hydrolysis process is the widely used batch-series hydrolysis process. While this process has evolved over the years, the hydrolysis pots have only grown in size, and the batch process has several drawbacks: the process repeats itself: filling, pressurizing, hydrolysis, and emptying.
[0004] The furfural hydrolysis process finally discharges slag from the reactor (hydrolyzer) into a buffer tank, which then discharges the slag into the lower portion of the steam-slag separator. The slag moisture content is between 50%-60%-65%, which is unstable. Using conventional airtight valves and other valves, the high slag moisture content makes agglomeration and blockage difficult to resolve, and this problem often occurs. Slag moisture levels above 50% are also prone to agglomeration when rapidly rotating the slag out of the slag collector. Utility Model Content

The portion of the rotating shaft 4 located at the bottom of the blade cylinder 1 is provided with a sprocket 6, and the sprocket 6 is connected to a motor through a chain.
[0022] Furthermore, the number of blades on the upper portion of the blade cylinder 1 located on the upper blocking plate 2 is four and they are arranged alternately.
[0023] Furthermore, the number of blades in the blade cylinder 1 located at the lower part of the upper blocking plate 2 is two, and they are symmetrically arranged relative to the rotating shaft 4.
[0024] Furthermore, the openings of the upper blocking plate 2 and the lower blocking plate 3 are symmetrically arranged, and the size of the opening does not exceed the size of one blade 5 .
[0025] Furthermore, a shaft sleeve bracket 7 is provided on the portion of the rotating shaft 4 located at the upper blocking plate 2 , a nylon sleeve is provided inside the shaft sleeve bracket 7 , and a blade fixing frame 8 is provided at the top end of the shaft sleeve bracket 7 .

[0030] Considering the corrosion of gas and materials, the pressure bearing and roller bearing are placed at the bottom, in a bearing bracket. This is also convenient for oiling and maintenance.
[0031] Set up stuffing box to prevent leakage.
[0032] There are four evenly distributed blades on the upper portion of the upper blocking plate 2, which are combined with the blade barrel to perform a sealing function.
