Technical Field

[0002] Hydrogen has the characteristics of high calorific value, cleanliness and pollution-free nature, and reducing properties. It is an important raw material for chemical industries such as ammonia synthesis, methanol production and petroleum refining. Internationally, hydrogen production mainly comes from fossil fuels, biomass and water. The main production processes include electrolysis, pyrolysis, photocatalysis, radioactive hydrolysis, plasma electrochemical method and biological hydrogen production.

This scheme greatly increases the primary conversion efficiency of fly ash and correspondingly reduces the amount of ineffective fly ash circulating between the gasifier and the primary cyclone separator;
[0004] However, in the existing technology for biomass gasification to produce hydrogen, the biomass and the gasifying agent come into direct contact and react chemically. This may lead to a decrease in reaction rate and conversion rate due to the large particle size of the biomass. Furthermore, the high moisture content in the biomass affects the hydrogen production. Therefore, we need to propose a biomass energy gasification hydrogen production device. Utility Model Content

One end of each set of rotating shafts passes through the storage hopper and is equipped with a gear. The other end of one set of rotating shafts passes through the storage hopper and is driven by a second motor.

[0009] Preferably, the multi-layer crushing blades on the two sets of rotating shafts are arranged alternately, and the multi-layer crushing blades are arranged at equal intervals, with multiple crushing blades in each layer.

[0011] Preferably, the drying mechanism includes a sleeve fitted outside the conveying pipe, the sleeve having an insulated chamber inside, and an electric heating wire arranged in a spiral shape inside the insulated chamber.
[0012] Preferably, the turbulence mechanism includes a rotary motor and a vertical shaft. The upper end of the vertical shaft passes through the gasifier and is driven by the rotary motor. Multiple layers of stirring rods and multiple sets of connecting rods are arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the outer side of the vertical shaft.

[0014] Preferably, the slag discharge mechanism includes a slag discharge pipe connected to the gasifier, and a slag discharge auger is rotatably installed inside the slag discharge pipe. One end of the slag discharge auger passes through the slag discharge pipe and is driven by a third motor.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention mainly utilizes the coordination between a gasifier, a biomass feeding mechanism, a crushing mechanism, a drying mechanism, and a turbulence-inducing mechanism. The crushing mechanism rapidly crushes the fed biomass raw materials, thereby reducing the particle size. Simultaneously, the biomass is dried by the drying mechanism while being transported into the gasifier, reducing its moisture content. This allows for more uniform contact with the gasifying agent when agitated by the turbulence-inducing mechanism within the gasifier, thus improving the biomass combustion efficiency, increasing the hydrogen-mixed gas generation efficiency, and ultimately enhancing the efficiency of biomass gasification for hydrogen production.

[0023] The biomass feeding mechanism 2 includes a conveying pipe 21 connected to the gasifier 1. A connecting cone pipe 22 is provided on the outside of the conveying pipe 21, and a storage hopper 23 for pre-storing biomass is provided at the upper end of the connecting cone pipe 22.
[0024] The crushing mechanism 3 includes two sets of rotating shafts 31 rotatably disposed in the inner cavity of the storage hopper 23. One end of each set of rotating shafts 31 passes through the storage hopper 23 and is equipped with a gear 32. The other end of one set of rotating shafts 31 passes through the storage hopper 23 and is driven by a second motor 34. Multiple layers of crushing blades 33 are provided on the outer side of each set of rotating shafts 31.
[0025] The multi-layer crushing blades 33 on the two sets of rotating shafts 31 are arranged alternately and at equal intervals. Each layer of crushing blades 33 has multiple blades. The alternating crushing blades 33 can crush biomass raw materials into fine particles more quickly, thereby increasing the contact area with the gasifying agent and improving the hydrogen production effect.
[0026] The inner cavity of the conveying pipe 21 is rotatably equipped with a feeding auger 24. One end of the feeding auger 24 passes through the conveying pipe 21 and is driven by the first motor 25. The feeding auger 24 driven by the first motor 25 facilitates the delivery of the crushed biomass raw materials to the gasifier 1, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the biomass raw materials.
[0027] The drying mechanism 4 includes a sleeve 41 sleeved on the outside of the conveying pipe 21. The sleeve 41 has an insulated chamber 42 inside, and an electric heating wire 43 is installed in the insulated chamber 42. The electric heating wire 43 is arranged in a spiral shape. The electric heating wire 43 can evenly heat and dry the biomass in the conveying pipe 21, thereby reducing the moisture in the biomass and accelerating the gasification efficiency of the biomass.
[0028] The turbulence mechanism 7 includes a rotary motor 71 and a vertical shaft 72. The upper end of the vertical shaft 72 passes through the gasifier 1 and is driven by the rotary motor 71. Multiple layers of stirring rods 73 and multiple sets of connecting rods 74 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the outer side of the vertical shaft 72. One end of the connecting rod 74 is fixedly connected to a turbulence plate 75. The vertical shaft 72 is driven by the rotary motor 71 so that the stirring rods 73 and the turbulence plate 75 can agitate the biomass raw materials and gasifying agent, thereby accelerating the gasification efficiency of the biomass raw materials.
[0029] Each layer of stirring rods 73 is provided with multiple stirring rods, and the multiple stirring rods 73 are arranged at equal intervals and at equal angles. The multiple stirring rods 73 increase the stirring range, thereby accelerating the efficiency of biomass gasification to hydrogen production.
[0030] The slag discharge mechanism 5 includes a slag discharge pipe 51 connected to the gasifier 1. A slag discharge auger 52 is rotatably installed inside the slag discharge pipe 51. One end of the slag discharge auger 52 passes through the slag discharge pipe 51 and is driven by a third motor 53. The slag discharge auger 52 driven by the third motor 53 facilitates the discharge of waste slag and improves the efficiency of hydrogen production slag discharge.
[0031] In use, the biomass raw material first enters the storage hopper 23. Inside the storage hopper 23, the rotating shaft 31 driven by the second motor 34 drives the multi-layer crushing blades 33 to crush the raw material. The crushing blades 33 on the two sets of rotating shafts 31 are alternately arranged to improve the crushing effect and increase the contact area between the raw material and the gasifying agent. The crushed biomass raw material is then sent to the gasifier 1 through the conveying pipe 21 by the feeding auger 24 driven by the first motor 25. During the conveying process, the spiral electric heating wire 43 installed in the heat insulation chamber 42 of the sleeve 41 outside the conveying pipe 21 heats and dries the raw material, reduces moisture, and accelerates the subsequent gasification efficiency.
[0032] The biomass feedstock entering the gasifier 1 begins to gasify under the action of the gasifying agent introduced through the gasifying agent valve 6. The rotary motor 71 drives the vertical shaft 72, which in turn drives the multi-layer stirring rod 73 and the baffle 75 to rotate, stirring the biomass feedstock and the gasifying agent. The stirring rod 73 has a wide stirring range, which can accelerate the gasification efficiency. The hydrogen mixed gas produced by the reaction is discharged from the hydrogen mixed gas discharge pipe 8 at the top of the gasifier 1. The waste residue after the reaction is discharged through the slag discharge pipe 51 under the action of the slag discharge auger 52 driven by the third motor 53, which improves the slag discharge efficiency. The entire device realizes the process of gasifying biomass energy to produce hydrogen.
