[0002] Furfural is an industrial chemical that can be extracted from various agricultural byproducts, including corn cobs, oat and wheat bran, and sawdust. A necessary hydrolysis step is required in furfural processing, and hydrolysis reactors are commonly used for this purpose. During hydrolysis, the reactor is equipped with a corresponding feed valve to introduce the furfural raw material. Conventional feed valves are ball valves, but while they are commonly used, they still have the following drawbacks in practical application:
[0003] Conventional ball valve designs, due to their spherical valve core design, are prone to clogging during long-term use because the furfural raw material contains a lot of debris. During long-term hydrolysis, coking and gas leakage are likely to occur at the ball valve at the opening of the hydrolysis vessel (boiler). Therefore, ball valves have low applicability and require frequent maintenance, leading to increased maintenance costs.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0034] Please see Figures 1-10 As shown, this utility model is a feed valve for a furfural hydrolysis reactor, including a valve body 1, a valve cover 2 and a hydraulic cylinder 3. The valve cover 2 is provided on the top of the valve body 1. A connecting block 102 is fixed on the outer periphery of the valve body 1, and a mounting column 103 is fixed on the end of the connecting block 102 away from the valve body 1. A hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixed inside the mounting column 103. A hydraulic rod 301 is telescopically connected inside the hydraulic cylinder 3, and the top of the hydraulic rod 301 extends out of the hydraulic cylinder 3 and is fixed with an end 302. A support arm 303 is fixed on the outer periphery of the end 302.
[0035] The valve body 1 serves as the main feeding channel, and a valve cover 2 is installed on top of it for sealing. A connecting block 102 is installed on the outside of the valve body 1 to connect to the mounting column 103. The hydraulic cylinder 3 is then installed on the mounting column 103. When the hydraulic cylinder 3 is working, it drives the hydraulic rod 301 to rise and fall, thereby causing the support arm 303 to rise and fall and rotate, which in turn drives the valve cover 2 to rise and fall, thus realizing opening and closing.
[0036] A central column 201 is fixed at the upper center of the valve cover 2, and a base block 205 is fixed at the upper end of the central column 201. A stud 203 is fixed at the upper end of the base block 205. The end of the support arm 303 away from the end 302 is sleeved on the stud 203. A nut 204 is screwed onto the stud 203 above the support arm 303.
[0037] A central column 201 is set on the valve cover 2, and then a base block 205 and a stud 203 are installed. A support arm 303 is fitted over the stud 203 and a nut 204 is screwed on to fix the support arm 303.
[0038] Two ring plates 206 are fixed at the bottom of the valve cover 2, and a sealing gasket 208 is fixed on the bottom surface of the valve cover 2 between the two ring plates 206; a ring edge 104 is fixed at the upper end of the valve body 1, and a sealing ring 1041 is embedded and fixed on the upper end surface of the ring edge 104.
[0039] The two ring plates 206 have different inner diameters, and a sealing gasket 208 is provided on the inner side for sealing. It works in conjunction with the sealing ring 1041 on the ring edge 104 to seal. The sealing ring 1041 and the sealing gasket 208 are in contact and are located in the area between the two ring plates 206, which further increases the sealing performance.
[0040] A valve seat 101 is fixed to the bottom outer periphery of the valve body 1, and the valve body 1 and the valve seat 101 are internally connected. The valve body 1, valve seat 101, connecting block 102, mounting column 103, and ring edge 104 are integrally cast. The integral casting of the valve body 1, connecting block 102, and mounting column 103 helps to ensure the support strength of the hydraulic cylinder 3 and avoids the problem of support breakage due to insufficient support strength during use.
[0041] The sealing ring 1041 has a convex-shaped cross section, and the convex part of the sealing ring 1041 extends beyond the upper end of the ring edge 104. The upper end of the convex part of the sealing ring 1041 contacts the bottom surface of the sealing gasket 208, and the size of the convex part of the sealing ring 1041 plus the size of the sealing gasket 208 is equal to the size of the gap between the two ring plates 206.
[0042] When the valve cover 2 closes the valve body 1, the upper protrusion of the sealing ring 1041 is exactly inside the two ring plates 206 and contacts the sealing gasket 208. At this time, the bottom of the two ring plates 206 contacts the lower part of the sealing ring 1041, which fits perfectly and seals the seal. This type of sealing structure is more stable, and the ring plates 206 also have a certain heat insulation function. While effectively ensuring the seal, it also extends the service life.
[0043] The sealing ring 1041 has a ring-shaped array of insertion holes 1042 on the inner edge 104. The bottom surface of the valve cover 2 is also fixed with a ring-shaped array of insertion posts 207, which are inserted into the insertion holes 1042 and are located in the inner cavity of the ring plate 206 near the inner side.
[0044] When the steel ball 304 is at the higher end of the spiral groove 3011, the insertion post 207 is just above the insertion hole 1042. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 3 works, causing the hydraulic rod 301 to continue to descend. The steel ball 304 moves along the vertical groove 3012, and the vertical groove 3012 descends. At this time, the insertion post 207 is inserted into the insertion hole 1042, further increasing the stability of the connection.
[0045] A pressure sensor 1043 is embedded and fixed at the upper end of the ring plate 206 outside the sealing ring 1041. When the valve cover 2 is pressed on the valve body 1, the pressure sensor 1043 will stop the hydraulic cylinder 3 from working when it senses sufficient pressure to ensure sufficient sealing.
[0046] Steel balls 304 are fixed on the inner wall of the hydraulic cylinder 3. Two centrally symmetrical spiral grooves 3011 are opened on the outer wall of the hydraulic rod 301. The spiral grooves 3011 are quarter turns of spiral, and a vertical groove 3012 is also opened on the outer wall of the hydraulic rod 301 at the higher end of the spiral grooves 3011. The design of the spiral grooves 3011 allows the hydraulic rod 301 to rotate 90° while rising, so that the valve cover 2 will not block the top of the valve body 1.
[0047] When the valve cover 2 and valve body 1 are closed, the steel ball 304 is at the top of the vertical groove 3012. When the valve cover 2 is open, it is at 90° to the valve body 1, and the steel ball 304 is at the lower end of the spiral groove 3011.
[0048] A hydraulic pipe 1031 is also fixed through the side of the hydraulic cylinder 3, and the end of the hydraulic pipe 1031 away from the hydraulic cylinder 3 passes through the mounting post 103 and extends out.
[0049] The outer periphery of the central column 201 is fixed with reinforcing ribs 202 arranged in a ring array, and the bottom of the reinforcing ribs 202 is fixed to the top surface of the valve cover 2;
[0050] The oil pipe 1031 is used as a passage for conveying and outputting hydraulic oil. The specific hydraulic oil flow direction is a conventional structure, so it is not shown in the figure. The valve cover 2 is equipped with a central column 201 and reinforcing ribs 202 for structural reinforcement, presenting a pyramid shape.
[0051] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the valve body 1 and valve seat 101 are installed on the hydrolysis kettle. Furfural raw material is added into the hydrolysis kettle from the valve body 1. During this process, the valve cover 2 is in the open state, and the steel ball 304 is at the lower end of the spiral groove 3011. Then, the valve cover 2 is closed, the hydraulic cylinder 3 works, and the hydraulic rod 301 rotates and descends along the spiral groove 3011 until the steel ball 304 is at the higher end of the spiral groove 3011. At this time, the insertion post 207 is just above the insertion hole 1042. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 3 works, causing the hydraulic rod 301 to continue to descend. As the valve cover 2 descends, the steel ball 304 moves along the vertical groove 3012, causing the vertical groove 3012 to descend. At this time, the insert pin 207 is inserted into the insertion hole 1042. Simultaneously, the upper protrusion of the sealing ring 1041 is positioned within the two ring plates 206 and contacts the sealing gasket 208. At this time, the bottom ends of the two ring plates 206 contact the lower part of the sealing ring 1041, forming a tight seal. When the valve cover 2 is opened, the hydraulic cylinder 3 controls the hydraulic rod 301 to descend. The hydraulic rod 301 rises along the spiral groove 3011 and the vertical groove 3012 until it reaches 90° and opens the valve cover 2, completing the opening process.
[0052] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and do not limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or to some of the technical features, shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
