[0024] The tray body 1 is the basic structure of the whole tray, which provides installation and working platform for other components. It carries the flow of liquid and the gas-liquid mixing and mass transfer process. The overflow weir 3 is arranged at the top of the tray body 1, which is used to maintain the liquid level height on the tray body 1. When the liquid flows into the tray body 1, the overflow weir 3 blocks the liquid to accumulate to a certain height on the tray body 1, and then the liquid overflows from the top of the overflow weir 3 to the next layer of tray. It ensures that the liquid has enough residence time on the tray body 1 to make the gas-liquid fully contact. The liquid receiving plate 2 is installed on the right side of the tray body 1, which is used to receive the liquid overflowing from the upper layer of tray and evenly distribute it to the tray body 1 of the current layer, reducing the impact of the liquid on the tray body 1, making the liquid enter the tray body 1 smoothly, and playing the role of buffering and distributing the liquid. The first through hole 4 and the second through hole 5 are important structures on the tray body 1, which provide a flow path for the gas phase. The first float valve 6 is inserted into the first through hole 4, and since the damping ring 14 is installed at the top end of the first float valve 6, it is noted that the damping ring 14 is just a metal ring used to prevent the first float valve 6 from falling out of the first through hole 4, and the second float valve 7 is installed in the second through hole 5 on the top surface of the first float valve 6. The guide rod 9 is integrally formed with the first float valve 6 and is installed in the guide hole 8 of the tray body 1. The guide rod 9 moves up and down along the guide hole 8. Since the reset spring 10 is sleeved on the two guide rods 9, the spring force of the reset spring 10 plays a role in balancing the steam impact force. When the steam impact force is less than the spring force of the reset spring 10, the reset spring 10 keeps the first float valve 6 closed; when the steam impact force is greater than the spring force of the reset spring 10, the reset spring 10 is compressed, and the first float valve 6 is opened. The spring force and characteristics of the reset spring 10 directly affect the opening pressure and sensitivity of the first float valve 6, thereby affecting the flux regulation performance of the whole tray. The first float valve 6 and the second float valve 7 are the key components of the tray structure to realize flux regulation. When the steam rises and the impact degree is less than the spring force of the reset spring 10 on both sides of the first float valve 6, the first float valve 6 remains in a closed state or is only opened to a small degree, and the gas phase mainly flows through the second float valve 7 for flow and mass transfer; when the gas inlet quantity further increases, the steam impact force on the first float valve 6 is greater than the spring force of the reset spring 10, the first float valve 6 is impacted and opened upward, and its opening degree increases with the increase of the steam quantity, thereby allowing more steam to pass through the first through hole 4 and mix with the liquid on the top of the tray body 1. In this way, the first float valve 6 can automatically adjust the opening degree according to the change of the gas phase flow, adapt to the flux demand under different working conditions, especially when the gas phase flow fluctuates greatly, the first through hole 4 with a large aperture is used to ensure the smooth gas-liquid mixing. The connecting rod 11 is arranged in the middle of the first float valve 6 and is welded with the first float valve 6. The connecting rod 11 is mainly used to support and connect the fan blade 12. The fan blade 12 is sleeved on the top end of the connecting rod 11, and when the gas phase passes through the first float valve 6, the airflow will drive the fan blade 12 to rotate.The rotating fan blade 12 can further disturb the gas phase, making it more evenly dispersed, breaking the possible gas phase aggregation or uneven flow phenomenon, increasing the gas-liquid contact area, thereby improving the mass transfer efficiency. The nut 13 is installed on the top surface of the connecting rod 11 and is screwed with the connecting rod 11. The main function of the nut 13 is to fix the fan blade 12 and prevent the fan blade 12 from falling off the connecting rod 11 during rotation, ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation of the fan blade 12. Embodiment two:

[0026] Referring to Figures 1-4 A large-flux tray structure further based on the basic structure in embodiment one, the specific working process is as follows: in the tray structure, the gas-liquid two-phase carries out mass transfer and heat transfer processes on the tray body 1. The liquid is uniformly distributed on the tray body 1 by the liquid receiving plate 2, and a certain liquid layer height is formed on the tray body 1 by the blocking of the overflow weir 3. The gas phase rises from below the tray, first impacts the second float valve 7 through the second through hole 5 on the top surface of the first float valve 6. When the gas phase flow is small, the impact force of the steam is less than the elastic force of the reset spring 10 on both sides of the first float valve 6, at this time the second float valve 7 is opened upward under the impact of the steam, and the opening degree increases with the increase of the steam volume. The gas phase passes through the second float valve 7 and the liquid on the tray to carry out preliminary gas-liquid mixing. With the increase of the gas phase flow, when the steam impact on the first float valve 6 is greater than the elastic force of the reset spring 10 on both sides of the first float valve 6, the first float valve 6 is impacted and opened upward, and the opening degree increases with the increase of the further increased steam volume. At this time, the gas phase can not only pass through the second float valve 7, but also pass through the first through hole 4 with large aperture and the liquid on the top of the tray body 1 to carry out more sufficient gas-liquid mixing, to adapt to the gas-liquid mixing demand of large flux. In the process of the gas phase passing through the first float valve 6, the gas flow drives the fan blade 12 installed at the top end of the connecting rod 11 to rotate, and the rotating fan blade 12 further disturbs the gas phase, making it more evenly dispersed, increasing the gas-liquid contact area, and improving the mass transfer efficiency. At the same time, it also assists to adjust the flow of the gas phase to a certain extent, enhances the adaptability of the tray to different working conditions. When the liquid volume on the tray reaches a certain degree, the excess liquid will flow to the next layer of tray over the overflow weir 3, maintaining the stable liquid layer height and liquid level on the tray, ensuring that the gas-liquid has enough contact time and space on the tray, thereby realizing the efficient and stable operation of the whole tray.

[0027] In summary:

[0028] 1. When steam rises and its impact force is less than the elastic force of the return springs 10 on both sides of the first float valve 6, the steam will impact the second float valve 7 inside the second through hole 5 on the top surface of the first float valve 6, causing the second float valve 7 to open upwards. The opening degree of the second float valve 7 increases with the increase of steam volume, thus allowing more steam to pass through the second through hole 5 and mix with the liquid at the top of the tray body 1. When the feed rate or air intake is too large, the further increase in air intake makes the thrust of the steam impacting the first float valve 6 greater than the elastic force of the return springs 10 on both sides of the first float valve 6, causing the first float valve 6 to be impacted and opened upwards. The opening degree of the first float valve 6 increases with the further increase of steam volume, thus allowing more steam to pass through the first through hole 4 and mix with the liquid at the top of the tray body 1. The large-diameter first through hole 4 is used to adapt to the large flow rate of gas-liquid mixing, solving the disadvantage that the fixed float valve through hole is difficult to adapt to large fluctuations in gas flow rate.
