Multiple sets of nozzles are connected to the upper side of the cylindrical outer wall of the mixing tube, each set consisting of multiple vertically distributed liquid spray branches arranged symmetrically at the center. Vertical connecting pipes are connected to the exterior of each set of nozzles, with adjacent connecting pipes having opposite opening directions and alternating arrangements. Distribution pipes are connected to the upper ends of the upward-opening connecting pipes and the lower ends of the downward-opening connecting pipes. Liquid guide pipes are connected to the right ends of both distribution pipes.

[0035] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a raw material mixing device for methanol cracking, including a mixing pipe 1. A connector 2 is connected to the lower end of the mixing pipe 1. Multiple sets of nozzles are connected to the upper side of the cylindrical outer wall of the mixing pipe 1. Each set of nozzles is composed of multiple vertically distributed liquid spraying branches 3, which are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. Vertical connecting pipes 4 are connected to the outside of each set of nozzles. The opening directions of two adjacent connecting pipes 4 are opposite and they are arranged alternately. The upper ends of the multiple connecting pipes 4 with upward openings and the lower ends of the multiple connecting pipes 4 with downward openings are connected to distribution pipes 5. The right ends of the two distribution pipes 5 are connected to liquid guide pipes 6. During the methanol cracking reaction, the mixing pipe 1 is connected to the connecting pipe of the reaction chamber through the connector 2. Methanol liquid and catalyst liquid are introduced into the mixing pipe 1 through the two liquid guide pipes 6 for multi-stage mixing, thereby mixing the methanol liquid and catalyst liquid evenly and ensuring that the methanol liquid and catalyst liquid can react in time after arriving at the reaction chamber, thus improving the methanol cracking reaction efficiency.

[0036] In this process, methanol liquid and catalyst liquid are introduced into two distribution pipes 5 through two liquid guide pipes 6, and the two distribution pipes 5 are then introduced into multiple sets of nozzles through multiple connecting pipes 4, and sprayed into the upper part of the mixing pipe 1 through multiple liquid spraying branch pipes 3. Since the nozzle is composed of multiple liquid spraying branch pipes 3, and the opening directions of two adjacent connecting pipes 4 are opposite and alternately arranged, the methanol liquid and catalyst liquid can be alternately sprayed into the mixing pipe 1 in the circumferential direction, thereby performing primary mixing of methanol liquid and catalyst liquid.

[0037] Preferably, a partition plate 7 is connected to the upper side of the inner wall of the mixing pipe 1, and the partition plate 7 is located below the multiple injection branch pipes 3. A collection pipe 8 is connected to the center of the lower end of the partition plate 7. Multiple swirl nozzles 9 are connected to the outer tangential direction of the collection pipe 8, and the multiple swirl nozzles 9 are arranged in a centrally symmetrical manner. A limiting ring is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the collection pipe 8. When methanol liquid and catalyst liquid are sprayed into the space between the partition plate 7 and the limiting ring through the multiple swirl nozzles 9, since the swirl nozzles 9 are connected to the tangential direction of the outer wall of the collection pipe 8, the methanol liquid and catalyst liquid can form a swirling flow in the cavity between the partition plate 7 and the limiting ring under the spray of the multiple swirl nozzles 9, so that the methanol liquid and catalyst liquid can be mixed in a secondary manner in the cavity between the partition plate 7 and the limiting ring.

[0038] Preferably, a limiting ring is connected to the inner wall of the mixing tube 1. Two rotating rings 10 are rotatably connected between the limiting ring and the partition plate 7. The two rotating rings 10 are located on the upper and lower sides of the outside of the collecting tube 8, respectively. A ball groove is opened on the cylindrical outer wall of each of the two rotating rings 10. Multiple drag-reducing balls 11 are arranged inside each of the two ball grooves. Multiple connecting rods 12 are connected to the outer side of the two rotating rings 10. The multiple connecting rods 12 are located outside the collecting tube 8 and rotatably connected to the inside of the mixing tube 1. Multiple stirring plates 13 are connected to the end of each of the multiple connecting rods 12 near the collecting tube 8. Plate 13 is located outside the liquid collecting pipe 8. During the secondary mixing of methanol liquid and catalyst liquid, multiple stirring plates 13 rotate around the liquid collecting pipe 8 under the impact of methanol liquid and catalyst liquid sprayed from the swirl nozzle 9. They are limited by the rotating ring 10 and the connecting rod 12 to the mixing pipe 1 and the liquid collecting pipe 8. The rotating ring 10 can reduce the frictional resistance between itself and the inner wall of the mixing pipe 1 through multiple drag-reducing balls 11, so that the multiple rotating stirring plates 13 can turbulent and stir the swirling flow of methanol liquid and catalyst liquid, thereby improving the secondary mixing efficiency of methanol liquid and catalyst liquid.

[0039] Preferably, a spiral plate 14 is provided inside the lower end of the mixing tube 1, and the spiral plate 14 is located below the limiting ring. When the methanol liquid and the catalyst liquid flow through the inside of the limiting ring to the lower end of the mixing tube 1, the methanol liquid and the catalyst liquid can be mixed in three stages inside the mixing tube 1 by the guidance of the spiral plate 14. This can both increase the mixing path by the spiral plate 14 and allow the methanol liquid and the catalyst liquid to centrifugally rotate inside the mixing tube 1, thereby improving the three-stage mixing efficiency of the methanol liquid and the catalyst liquid.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
