[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a pressing mechanism for a downdraft biomass gasifier includes a support plate 1. Multiple bases 11 arranged in a circular array are provided at the bottom of the support plate 1. A housing 10 is provided on each base 11. An extension 13 is provided on the housing 10 and is connected to the housing 10. A cover 16 is provided on the extension 13. A slot 17 is provided on the cover 16. A sliding plate 18 is slidably disposed within the slot 17. A push rod 20 is provided on the sliding plate 18. A discharge pipe 21 is provided on the cover 16. A discharge trough 22 is provided on the discharge pipe 21 and is connected to the extension 13.

[0020] Specifically, during use, the material is fed into the discharge pipe 21 through the discharge trough 22, and then the material falls into the extension 13. Then, the push rod 20 is pushed down, and the push rod 20 drives the slide plate 18 to move downward in the slot 17, compressing the material fed into the extension 13. The compressed material has a uniform density when reacting, and can react fully.

[0021] In the above scheme, the support plate 1 is supported by multiple bases 11 arranged in a circular array. The material is vaporized by the box 10 on the base 11. The material is placed by the extension 13 on the box 10. The material is sealed by the cover 16 on the extension 13 during the reaction. The slide plate 18 is slidable by the slot 17 on the cover 16. At the same time, the movement of the slide plate 18 compresses the material. The slide plate 18 is controlled by the push rod 20 on the slide plate 18. The material is placed by the discharge pipe 21 on the cover 16.

[0022] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a placement groove 100 is provided on the box body 10, and limit rods 19 are symmetrically arranged in the placement groove 100. The slide plate 18 is slidably arranged on the limit rods 19.

[0023] Specifically, when the skateboard 18 slides, it will slide on the limiting rod 19. The two limiting rods 19 ensure that the skateboard 18 can stay in the groove 17 when it slides, and prevent it from falling out of the groove 17.

[0024] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, according to Figure 2 As shown, a motor 23 is provided on the cover 16, and a main shaft 24 is provided on the output end of the motor 23.

[0025] Furthermore, a spiral conveyor belt 25 is mounted on the main shaft 24, and the spiral conveyor belt 25 is spiral in shape.

[0026] Specifically, after the material compression is completed, the motor 23 is started, driving the main shaft 24 to rotate. The rotation of the main shaft 24 then drives the screw conveyor belt 25 to rotate, conveying the material located in the extension 13 into the housing 10 for reaction.

[0027] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, according to Figure 2 As shown, ventilation pipes 12 are symmetrically arranged on the box body 10 near the base 11.

[0028] Specifically, oxygen is drawn in through the vent pipe 12 to achieve the oxidation of the material.

[0029] As a further embodiment provided by this utility model, according to Figure 2 As shown, a groove 14 is provided on the extension 13 near the cover 16, and an insert plate 15 is slidably disposed in the groove 14. The insert plate 15 is located at the bottom of the discharge trough 22.

[0030] Specifically, after the material is fed, the insert plate 15 is inserted into the chute 14 and the discharge chute 22 is sealed.

[0031] Working principle: During use, the material is fed into the discharge pipe 21 through the discharge chute 22, and then falls into the extension section 13. After the material is fed, the insert plate 15 is inserted into the slide 14 to seal the discharge chute 22. Then, the push rod 20 is pushed down, and the push rod 20 drives the slide plate 18 to move downward in the slot 17. When the slide plate 18 slides, it will slide on the limit rod 19. The two limit rods 19 ensure that the slide plate 18 can stay in the slot 17 when it slides, preventing it from falling out of the slot 17. The material fed into the extension section 13 is compressed. The compressed material has a uniform density when reacting, so it can react fully. After the material is compressed, the motor 23 is started, which drives the main shaft 24 to rotate. After the main shaft 24 rotates, it drives the spiral conveyor belt 25 to rotate, and the material in the extension section 13 is transferred to the box 10 for reaction.

[0032] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
