[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a natural gas hydrogen production integrated device with temperature control, comprising a preparation box 1, a side box 6 fixedly installed on one side of the preparation box 1, a burner 7 fixedly installed inside the side box 6, a bottom box 9 fixedly installed below the preparation box 1, cold air pipes 10 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front end of the bottom box 9, the cold air pipes 10 being connected to a cold air supply device, nozzles 11 symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the lower interior of the preparation box 1, one end of the cold air pipe 10 extending into the interior of the bottom box 9 and penetrating the bottom of the preparation box 1 and fixedly connected to the nozzle 11, and temperature sensors 8 symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the upper interior of the preparation box 1, the temperature sensors 8 being WRSP-130 temperature sensors.

[0024] By symmetrically installing temperature sensors 8 inside the preparation chamber, the reaction temperature changes can be monitored in real time, which is beneficial for precise temperature control. At the same time, the linkage design of the cooling pipe 10 and the nozzle 11 can quickly respond to the cooling demand and directly inject cooling gas into the reaction area, avoiding the sudden temperature rise or reaction path deviation caused by the runaway exothermic reaction, thus realizing temperature control capability and increasing practicality.

[0025] Please see Figure 2 A reaction tube 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper part of the preparation box 1. The inside of the reaction tube 4 is filled with a honeycomb nickel-based catalyst. An inlet pipe 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper part of the preparation box 1, and an outlet pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper part of the preparation box 1. The inlet pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the reaction tube 4.

[0026] The honeycomb structure has a large specific surface area, which can increase the contact area between the catalyst and the reactant gas, making the reaction more complete and efficient. At the same time, an inlet pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the preparation box and an outlet pipe is fixedly installed on the other side. The inlet and outlet pipes are fixedly connected to both ends of the reaction tube, respectively. This design forms a smooth gas flow channel, ensuring that reactant gases such as natural gas can smoothly enter the reaction tube for reaction, and that products such as hydrogen generated by the reaction can be discharged in a timely manner. This avoids the problem of gas accumulation or poor flow in the device, and ensures the continuity and stability of the reaction process.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 A stirring assembly 18 is provided in the middle of the lower part of the preparation box 1. The stirring assembly 18 includes a stirring column 1801 and blades 1802. The stirring column 1801 is rotatably connected to the preparation box 1. Two blades 1802 are provided and fixedly installed on the outside of the stirring column 1801. A motor 17 is provided in the middle of the upper part of the bottom box 9. The motor 17 is fixedly connected to the preparation box 1. The output end of the motor 17 is fixedly connected to the stirring column 1801.

[0028] The stirring column 1801 and blades 1802 are driven to rotate by the electric motor 17, which realizes the stirring of the preparation box 1. The stirring action can promote the uniform distribution of heat in the reaction system, better maintain the stability of the reaction temperature, prevent abnormal reaction caused by local overheating or overcooling, and further enhance the reliability of the device and the hydrogen production effect.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 A side chamber 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the preparation chamber 1. A flue gas vent 101 is provided on one side of the preparation chamber 1 and is connected to the side chamber 12. A heat exchange tube 14 is provided inside the side chamber 12. A water inlet pipe 15 is fixedly installed on the upper side of one side of the side chamber 12 and is connected to a water supply device. A water outlet pipe 13 is fixedly installed on the lower side of one side of the side chamber 12. The water outlet pipe 13 and the water inlet pipe 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the heat exchange tube 14. A flue gas vent 16 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the side chamber 12.

[0030] The waste heat from the high-temperature flue gas generated during the natural gas hydrogen production process is utilized. The high-temperature flue gas enters the side box 2 12 through the flue gas outlet 101 and exchanges heat with the water in the heat exchange tube 14, transferring heat to the water and raising the water temperature, thus achieving effective recovery and utilization of waste heat.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 The side box 12 has a fixed installation of a flow guide plate 19, and there are multiple flow guide plates 19 arranged vertically in a staggered manner.

[0032] The design of the diversion plate 19 increases the contact time between the flue gas and the heat exchange tube 14, making the heat exchange process more complete and more effectively transferring the heat in the flue gas to the water in the heat exchange tube 14, thus improving the stability of waste heat recovery.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 Mounting brackets 2 are symmetrically fixed on both sides below the preparation box 1, and a partition 20 is fixedly installed on one side inside the preparation box 1.

[0034] The mounting bracket 2 facilitates the installation and fixation of the device, and the partition 20 can rationally divide the internal space of the preparation box 1, reduce mutual interference between different areas, and increase the stability of the reaction process.

[0035] Working principle: During use, the burner 7 provides high temperature to the preparation chamber 1. Natural gas and reaction gas enter the reaction tube 4 through the inlet pipe 3. Under the action of the honeycomb nickel-based catalyst filled inside, a conversion reaction occurs, generating products such as hydrogen and being discharged from the outlet pipe 5. During the reaction, the temperature sensor 8 monitors the temperature of the reaction zone in real time. If the temperature is detected to be too high, the cooling pipe 10 delivers cooling gas to the nozzle 11 and sprays it into the reaction zone to achieve rapid cooling and ensure stable reaction. At the same time, the motor 17 drives the blades 1802 of the stirring component 18 to rotate, promoting uniform mixing of the reaction gas and the cooling medium and avoiding local overheating. The high-temperature flue gas generated in the preparation chamber 1 enters the side chamber 2 12 through the exhaust port 101 and contacts the heat exchange tube 14 for heat exchange, realizing waste heat recovery. The cooled flue gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe 16.

[0036] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
