[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fixed bed interlayer heat exchange structure, comprising:
[0021] Reactor 1 includes a main tank, an air inlet 2 at the upper end of the main tank, an air outlet 8 at the lower end of the main tank, several uniformly distributed manholes 3 connected to the side of the main tank, several sets of fixed beds 9 uniformly distributed inside the main tank, and a cooling assembly is also provided in the main tank between the fixed beds 9.

Connecting flanges are also provided at the ends of the manhole 3, and maintenance covers are connected by connecting flanges. The connecting flanges facilitate the connection and fixation of the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe. The connecting flanges at the manhole 3 also facilitate the installation and removal of the maintenance cover, which can facilitate the subsequent inspection and maintenance of the internal fixed bed layer 9 and the interlayer cooling layer 10.
[0024] The heat dissipation box 5 includes a box body fixed to the outer side of one side of the main tank body. An air inlet 6 is provided in the middle of the outer end of the box body. A dustproof net and a protective railing are fixedly connected inside the air inlet 6. A fixed frame is fixedly connected inside the box body. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected in the middle of the fixed frame. The rotating shaft is driven and connected to the transmission output end of the drive motor. The drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame. A cooling fan 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft. The inner side of the box body is connected to the main tank body through a ventilation port 4, corresponding to the interlayer cooling layer 10.
[0025] The interlayer cooling layer 10 includes upper and lower support plates 11, with corresponding air inlets 12 through the support plates 11. Cooling pipes 13 are arranged between the upper and lower support plates 11, and the cooling pipes 13 correspond to the air inlets 12 respectively. A ventilation groove is formed between the cooling pipes 13, and the ventilation groove corresponds to the ventilation opening on the main tank. The air inlets 12 penetrate the interlayer cooling layer 10. The cooling fan 7 inside the heat sink 5 can draw cold air from the outside into the ventilation groove between the interlayer cooling layers 10, which can cool and exchange the gas after catalysis through the cooling pipes 13 in the middle of the interlayer cooling layer 10, thereby improving the performance.
[0026] The support plate 11 has a sealing groove on its edge, and a sealing ring is fitted inside the sealing groove. The sealing ring fits against the inner wall of the main tank. The sealing ring on the edge of the support plate 11 can ensure the sealing effect after the interlayer cooling layer 10 is fixed, preventing the catalytic gas from leaking from the edge and ensuring that the gas can pass through the middle of the interlayer cooling layer 10 to ensure effective cooling and heat dissipation, and improve the performance.

The fasteners 14 can fix the interlayer cooling layer 10 in the main tank, ensuring its stability, ensuring its performance, improving its performance, and facilitating subsequent installation, disassembly, inspection and maintenance. It also occupies little space, has a compact structure, and facilitates regular cleaning of the dirt and medium in the cooling pipes, reducing high-temperature pipelines and valves and lowering the cost incurred during operation.

The connecting flange at manhole 3 also facilitates the installation and removal of the maintenance cover, allowing for convenient subsequent maintenance of the internal fixed bed layer 9 and interlayer cooling layer 10. The cooling fan 7 inside the heat sink 5 draws external cool air into the ventilation slots between the interlayer cooling layers 10, cooling and exchanging heat for the catalytically cooled gas passing through the intermediate cooling pipe 13 of the interlayer cooling layer 10, improving performance. The sealing ring on the edge of the support plate 11 ensures a tight seal after the interlayer cooling layer 10 is fixed in place. To prevent catalytic gas from leaking from the edges and ensure that the gas can pass through the middle of the interlayer cooling layer 10, thus ensuring effective cooling and heat dissipation and improving the performance, the interlayer cooling layer 10 is secured to the ventilation port 4 by the fastener 14. The fastener 14 can fix the interlayer cooling layer 10 to the main tank, ensuring its stability, performance, and ease of installation, disassembly, inspection, and maintenance. It also has a small footprint, a compact structure, and facilitates regular cleaning of the dirt and medium in the cooling pipes, reducing the number of high-temperature pipelines and valves and lowering the cost incurred during operation.
