[0024] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The device is equipped with an auxiliary positioning device 4. A pre-conversion catalyst is placed inside the main body 1 of the pre-conversion reactor. The pre-conversion catalyst is prepared by co-precipitation, where aluminum hydroxide and magnesium oxide are mixed, ball-milled, and then calcined at 1200℃ to form a magnesium-aluminum spinel carrier. A sodium carbonate precipitant solution and a mixed salt solution of nickel nitrate, lanthanum nitrate, and copper nitrate are added dropwise to a three-necked flask in a parallel flow, with magnetic stirring activated simultaneously. During precipitation, the pH of the slurry is controlled between 6.5 and 7.0. After the solution is added dropwise, the calcined carrier is added, and the oil bath temperature is raised to 65℃~70℃. The mixture is stirred and aged for one hour. After aging, it is filtered using a vacuum filter, washed with deionized water to remove sodium ions, and then the filter cake is placed in a drying oven and dried at 100℃ for 3~4 hours. The dried filter cake is ground into a fine powder in a mortar and dried in a drying oven for 3-4 hours. Then it is calcined in a box furnace at 400°C for two hours. The calcined mixture is then added to graphite and deionized water and pressed into tablets at 6.0 MPa. After forming, it is naturally air-dried to produce a pre-conversion catalyst. First, pull the high-temperature resistant handle pad 48 outward. When the pre-conversion catalyst is installed and fixed inside the pre-conversion reactor body 1, after placing the pre-conversion catalyst at the installation position of the pre-conversion reactor body 1, the high-temperature resistant handle pad 48 can be released. The high-temperature resistant spring 42 in the high-temperature resistant shell 41 pushes the high-temperature resistant movable plate 43 to move, allowing the high-temperature resistant movable plate 43 to drive the high-temperature resistant movable frame 44 and the high-temperature resistant positioning sleeve 45 to move. This allows the corresponding surface of the high-temperature resistant positioning sleeve 45 to fit against the outside of the pre-conversion catalyst, and the high-temperature resistant positioning block 46 can be inserted into the positioning groove of the pre-conversion catalyst, which facilitates the positioning of the pre-conversion catalyst and makes subsequent fixing easier. This achieves the purpose of easy and quick positioning of the pre-conversion catalyst during fixing, improving the efficiency of the installation. To improve efficiency, the material pre-converted by the pre-conversion reactor body 1 enters the conversion furnace. At this time, the conversion furnace can increase carbon space velocity, reduce the number of furnace tubes, save investment, and reduce energy consumption. This device is equipped with a maintenance device 5. When the high-temperature resistant movable door 51 on the outside of the outer heating jacket 6 is closed, the second high-temperature resistant semi-threaded rod 55 and the first high-temperature resistant semi-threaded rod 54 are threadedly connected to the outer side of the high-temperature resistant threaded sleeve 57. When it is necessary to open the maintenance device 5 to perform internal maintenance of the pre-conversion reactor body 1, the high-temperature resistant threaded sleeve 57 can be rotated counterclockwise to remove the high-temperature resistant threaded sleeve 57 from the outside of the second high-temperature resistant semi-threaded rod 55 and the first high-temperature resistant semi-threaded rod 54. Then, the high-temperature resistant gasket 56 can also be removed from the outside of the second high-temperature resistant semi-threaded rod 55 and the first high-temperature resistant semi-threaded rod 54. This can easily release the lock of the high-temperature resistant mounting block 53. Then, the connecting handle 52 can be pulled to open the high-temperature resistant movable door 51. The opening, closing, and locking operations of the high-temperature resistant movable door 51 are simple, achieving the purpose of easy internal maintenance of the outer heating jacket 6.
