[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a rotary grate pyrolysis gasification furnace includes a furnace body 1 and multiple furnace body support frames 2 supporting the four sides of the furnace body 1. A flue gas outlet 4 is provided on one side of the furnace body 1, and a feed inlet 3 is provided at the top. A grate support disc 5 is fixedly supported within the furnace body support frames 2 below the furnace body 1. A rotary grate 6 is rotatably supported on the grate support disc 5, and the upper and lower ends of the rotary grate 6 are rotatably and sealingly connected to the grate support disc 5 and the lower end of the furnace body 1 respectively through sealing structures. The rotary grate 6... Driven by the drive device 7, the grate support disc 5 is equipped with a vertical air inlet pipe 8 at its center. The air inlet end of the air inlet pipe 8 extends to the outside of the grate support disc 5. The lower end of the grate support disc 5 is the slag discharge port 13, which is located in the water tank 14. The rotating grate 6 is rotated and supported on the grate support disc 5 by the rotating support bearing 15. An observation port 16 is also provided on one side of the furnace body 1. The furnace body 1 has a double-layer structure, and the double-layer structure is filled with furnace refractory material 17.

[0024] The rotating grate 6 includes an upper disc 601 and a lower disc 602 arranged horizontally. An annular gap is left between the upper disc 601 and the lower disc 602. The center of the lower surface of the lower disc 602 is fixedly connected to the center of the circular grate 603 through a support column 604. A gear ring structure 605 is provided on the periphery of the circular grate 603. The gear of the drive device 7 meshes with the gear ring structure 605. An annular gap is also left between the periphery of the lower disc 602 and the side wall of the rotating grate 6. An umbrella-shaped central guide cap 606 is fixed on the center of the surface of the upper disc 601. Multiple elongated ventilation holes 607 are arranged around the center of the upper disc 601 on the surface of the upper disc 601. Multiple actuating blocks 608 are arranged around the center of the upper disc 601 on the outer edge of the upper disc 601.

[0025] The specific sealing structure is as follows: the lower end opening face of the furnace body 1 is fixed with two inner and outer cylindrical furnace body water seal insert plates 12. The outer periphery of the rotating grate 6 is provided with two inner and outer annular water seal groove inner plates 9 and water seal groove outer plates 10. The inner plates 9 and outer plates 10 form an annular water groove sealing structure 11. The outer ring furnace body water seal insert plates 12 are located inside the water groove sealing structure 11, and the water groove sealing structure 11 is filled with water, which covers the lower end of the outer ring furnace body water seal insert plates 12. The inner ring furnace body water seal insert plates 12 are located outside the water groove sealing structure 11. This forms a multi-layer water seal. The multi-layer water seal structure increases the resistance to gas leakage and forms a tight barrier, effectively isolating gas leakage inside the furnace. Moreover, this sealing method does not require frequent maintenance, reduces the maintenance frequency, and ensures the safety and stability of the pyrolysis gasification process.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Material enters the furnace body 1 through the feed inlet 3. The design of the feed inlet 3 ensures that the material can smoothly enter the furnace body without clogging. After the material is added, air is introduced through the bottom air inlet pipe 8, and the material is ignited by a burner. Simultaneously, the rotating grate 6 is driven to rotate by the drive device 7. The gear of the drive device 7 (reduction motor) meshes with the gear ring structure 605, thereby driving the entire rotating grate 6 to rotate. The material is evenly distributed to the surrounding area by the agitator block 608. This design allows the material entering the furnace body to rotate smoothly on the rotating grate. The material is evenly distributed throughout the process, avoiding localized material accumulation and promoting uniform pyrolysis. Simultaneously, the continuously rotating grate effectively prevents residue blockage, ensuring smooth pyrolysis. During pyrolysis, the material gradually transforms into combustible gas and residue under high temperature and the action of the gasifying agent. The generated combustible gas is collected through the flue gas outlet for subsequent energy utilization. The residue falls into the slag discharge port 13 as the grate rotates and is automatically discharged into the bottom water tank. The water tank serves to cool and pre-treat the residue, preventing excessively high residue temperatures from causing safety issues, and also facilitating further processing of the residue.

[0027] A vertical air inlet pipe 8 is set in the center of the grate support disc 5. The air inlet end of the air inlet pipe 8 extends to the outside of the grate support disc 5. The grate support disc 5 and the bottom air inlet pipe 8 are cleverly combined to optimize the distribution of the gasifying agent. After the gasifying agent enters from the bottom air inlet pipe 8, it is evenly distributed to all parts of the material through the grate support disc 5, so that the material and the gasifying agent can fully contact each other, which greatly improves the pyrolysis efficiency.

[0028] The above description is merely an illustrative embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
