In the reactor design, the gas introduction mode is mainly designed with a single gas inlet.

The frustum-shaped gas guide plate 4, the annular gas guide plate 3, and the bottom plate 2 are connected sequentially from top to bottom, and the inlet pipe 1 extends tangentially into the lower part of the annular gas guide plate 3.

[0040] In this embodiment, the annular air guide plate 3 is composed of five concentric circular tubes with vertical axes, namely, the first circular tube 31, the second circular tube 32, the third circular tube 33, the fourth circular tube 34, and the fifth circular tube 35, from the outside to the inside. The top and bottom ends of the first circular tube 31, the second circular tube 32, the third circular tube 33, the fourth circular tube 34, and the fifth circular tube 35 are flush. The bottom ends of the first circular tube 31, the second circular tube 32, the third circular tube 33, the fourth circular tube 34, and the fifth circular tube 35 are fixed to the base plate 2, which is a horizontally arranged circular plate with the same diameter as the first circular tube.

[0041] The inlet pipe 1 is a rectangular pipe with a rectangular cross section; the rectangular height is H, mm; the rectangular width is D, mm; and the rectangular width D is less than the radius R1 of the first circular pipe. The inlet pipe 1 is horizontally arranged and tangentially extends into the lower part of the annular air guide plate 3. One side of the inlet pipe 1 is tangent to the first circular pipe 31, and the other side intersects the first circular pipe 31.

[0042] The second circular pipe 32, the third circular pipe 33 and the fourth circular pipe 34 of the annular air guide plate are each provided with a circular-arc-shaped gap 7. The height of the gap is equal to the rectangular height H, and the arc length of the gap is equal to 1 / 4 of the circumference of the circular pipe. The smooth flow of the gas is ensured.

[0043] In the embodiment, the circular-taipan ring plate 4 is composed of four axis-vertical concentric conical pipes, which are the first conical pipe 41, the second conical pipe 42, the third conical pipe 43 and the fourth conical pipe 44 from outside to inside. The top end and the bottom end of the first conical pipe 41, the second conical pipe 42, the third conical pipe 43 and the fourth conical pipe 44 are flush. The bottom end of the first conical pipe 41 is connected to the top end of the first circular pipe 31, the bottom end of the second conical pipe 42 is connected to the top end of the second circular pipe 32, the bottom end of the third conical pipe 43 is connected to the top end of the third circular pipe 33, and the bottom end of the fourth conical pipe 44 is connected to the top end of the fourth circular pipe 34.

[0044] The gas outlet 6 is between the concentric conical pipes. The circular-taipan air guide plate 4 is provided with a diameter-direction and vertical air guide plate 5. In the embodiment, the air guide plate 5 is four, which are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the conical pipe. The air guide plate 5 is located at the upper end of the conical pipe, and the top end of the air guide plate 5 is flush with the top end of the conical pipe.

[0045] In the embodiment, the cross-sectional area ZS1 between the first conical pipe and the second conical pipe: the cross-sectional area ZS2 between the second conical pipe and the third conical pipe: the cross-sectional area ZS3 between the third conical pipe and the fourth conical pipe = the cross-sectional area YS1 between the first circular pipe and the second circular pipe: the cross-sectional area YS2 between the second circular pipe and the third circular pipe: the cross-sectional area YS3 between the third circular pipe and the fourth circular pipe. The uniform distribution of the gas is ensured.

[0046] The working principle and working process of the utility model are as follows:

[0047] The gas enters the multiple annular air flow guide compartments surrounded by the annular air guide plate 3 through the inlet pipe 1. After entering the air flow guide compartment, the air flow forms multiple groups of centripetal radial rotating air flows; the rotating air flow continuously rises into the circular-taipan compartment space surrounded by the circular-taipan ring plate 4. With the increase of the flow height of the air flow, the cross-sectional area of the circular-taipan compartment continuously increases, and the rotating diameter of the gas also correspondingly increases. According to the principle of constant rotating distance, the flow speed of the rotating air flow gradually decreases, and is uniformly discharged from the multiple annular gas outlets 6 at the upper part of the device, so that the uniform distribution of the gas at the inlet of the reactor is realized.

[0048] The utility model discloses simple structure is reliable, and the operation elasticity is big, and the operation resistance is little, and the limited reactor entrance space is fully utilized, realizes the quick even distribution of high -speed airflow, thereby the working efficiency of reactor is greatly promoted.
