[0034] Reference Figure 1-4 An electric heating plate 5 is fixedly connected inside the reactor 1, which can increase the reaction rate.

The feed cylinder 26 allows the crushed and screened weathered coal to enter the reactor 1. The top of the screening box 16 is fixedly connected through the top of the feeding cylinder 27.
[0035] Working Principle: During operation, weathered coal raw material enters the screening box 16 through the feeding cylinder 27. The second motor 20 is started, its output driving the front rotating shaft 17 to rotate. Due to the meshing of gears 19 on the outer left rings of the two rotating shafts 17, the two shafts 17 rotate relative to each other, causing the two crushing rollers 18 to rotate relative to each other, thus crushing the weathered coal. The crushed material falls onto the screen plate 23. The vibration motor 24 is started, and the screen plate 23 vibrates under the cooperation of the spring 22, allowing material meeting the particle size requirements to pass through the screen plate 23 and enter the reactor 1 through the feeding cylinder 26. Larger particles are discharged from the left outlet 25 and enter the collection box (not shown in the figure) for collection. The material enters the reactor 1 through the feed pipe 6, and an appropriate amount of alkali solution is added simultaneously. The first motor 2 is started, its output driving the rotating rod 3 and stirring blades 4 to rotate, thoroughly stirring the material and alkali solution to ensure uniform mixing. Simultaneously, the electric heating plate 5 is turned on to heat the material in the reactor 1. Under suitable temperature conditions, the reaction rate of humic acid and alkaline solution in the weathered coal is accelerated, converting humic acid into soluble humate salts to form a humate salt solution. After the reaction is complete, the humate salt solution flows into the filter press 8 through the discharge pipe 7. The hydraulic cylinder 9 is activated, and its output end pushes the sealing pressure plate 10 to the right, applying pressure to the solution in the filter press 8. Under pressure, the solution is filtered through the filter plate 11, and the humate salt solution flows out through the filter plate 11 and enters the collection box below for collection. Impurities are intercepted on the left side of the filter plate 11. The sealing ring 12 and the sealing groove 13 cooperate to ensure the sealing of the filtration process. After filtration, the filter plate 11 can be removed and the residue can be taken out by unscrewing the screw 14. The humate salt solution obtained by filtration can be further processed by acidification, concentration, drying, etc., to produce humic acid fertilizer.
