[0002] In chemical production processes, hydrogen fluoride reactors are crucial equipment for reactions involving hydrogen fluoride or fluorine-containing compounds, making their operational safety paramount. Traditional manual feeding methods have significant drawbacks. Hydrogen fluoride is highly corrosive, volatile, and toxic; even with specialized protective clothing, operators inevitably face the risk of close contact with hazardous substances, posing a substantial safety hazard.

[0003] Currently, although some automatic feeding devices have appeared on the market, most of them are not specifically designed to address the leakage problem of dangerous gases such as HF. During the feeding process, harmful gases in the reactor can easily escape from the feeding port, which not only pollutes the working environment but may also cause safety accidents. Therefore, it is urgent to design a feeding device that can achieve automatic feeding and effectively prevent the leakage of harmful gases, so as to solve the safety hazards of manual feeding of hydrogen fluoride reactors in the existing technology.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0031] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 A feeding device includes: a screw conveyor 2 and an air curtain assembly;

[0033] The screw conveyor 2 is located on one side of the reactor 1, and the discharge port of the screw conveyor 2 is connected to the feed port of the reactor 1 through an air curtain assembly. The air curtain assembly is connected to the discharge port and the feed port of the reactor 1.

[0034] Based on the above, the screw conveyor 2 effectively transports solid raw materials, allowing them to be conveyed from the inlet of the reactor 1 to the interior of the reactor 1. During this process, the air curtain assembly can create an air curtain between the inlet of the reactor 1 and the outlet of the screw conveyor 2 to block the flow.

[0035] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the air curtain assembly includes two air curtain plates 4, a supporting vertical pipe 9 is provided between the two air curtain plates 4, and a connecting pipe 3 is provided on the opposite side of the two air curtain plates 4. The upper and lower connecting pipes 3 are respectively connected to the discharge port of the screw conveyor 2 and the inlet of the reactor 1.

[0036] Based on the above, the air curtain plate 4, the connecting pipe 3, and the supporting vertical pipe 9 cooperate with each other to achieve a connection, so that the discharge port of the screw conveyor 2 and the feed port of the reactor 1 are connected to each other, so that the material remains inside the air curtain assembly when passing through the air curtain.

[0037] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the air curtain plate 4 includes a plate body 41. The upper surface of the plate body 41 is provided with a connecting hole 42. The connecting hole 42 is connected to both the connecting pipe 3 and the supporting vertical pipe 9. The interior of the plate body 41 is provided with an air inlet chamber 43 and an air outlet chamber 44 located on both sides of the connecting hole 42. The inner sidewall of the connecting hole 42 is provided with a connecting cavity 45. The groove width of the connecting cavity 45 is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole 42, and its two ends are connected to the air inlet chamber 43 and the air outlet chamber 44 respectively.

[0038] Vertical holes 46 are provided on opposite sides of the upper and lower plates 41, and the vertical holes 46 are connected to the air outlet chamber 44.

[0039] Based on the above, the connecting hole 42 serves to connect the supporting vertical pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 3, allowing solid raw materials to pass through the connecting hole 42 and enter the interior of the supporting vertical pipe 9. Furthermore, the arrangement of the air inlet chamber 43, the connecting chamber 45, and the air outlet chamber 44 ensures that after the airflow enters the interior of the air inlet chamber 43, it flows along the direction of the connecting chamber 45, forming an air curtain inside the connecting chamber 45, which blocks the connecting hole 42.

[0040] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a gas tank 5 is disposed between the two plates 41. The gas tank 5 includes a tank body 51. Both the upper and lower ends of the tank body 51 are provided with a connecting vertical pipe 52. The connecting vertical pipe 52 is connected to the tank body 51 and extends into the interior of the vertical hole 46. An annular groove 53 is provided on the circumferential surface of the connecting vertical pipe 52. A sealing ring 54 is provided inside the annular groove 53. The outer ring of the sealing ring 54 is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the vertical hole 46.

[0041] The side of the tank 51 is provided with an air intake pipe 7, and the other end of the air intake pipe 7 is provided with a centrifugal fan 6. The centrifugal fan of model T4-72 is preferred. The air intake pipe 7 is connected to the air inlet of the centrifugal fan 6. The air outlet of the centrifugal fan 6 is provided with a ventilation pipe 8, which is connected to both air inlet chambers 43.

[0042] Based on the above, after the gas tank 5 is inserted into the vertical hole 46, it is sealed by the sealing ring 54. At the same time, the centrifugal fan 6 is powered on to introduce the gas in the gas tank 5 into the air inlet chamber 43 and form an air curtain inside the connecting chamber 45. The other end of the air curtain enters the air outlet chamber 44 and flows back to the gas tank 5 from the vertical hole 46 and the connecting vertical pipe 52, thus realizing the function of airflow circulation.

[0043] Device assembly

[0044] First, install the screw conveyor 2 on one side of the reactor 1, ensuring that the discharge port of the screw conveyor 2 and the feed port of the reactor 1 are on the same horizontal line, so as to facilitate the connection of the air curtain assembly.

[0045] Install the air curtain assembly: Connect the two air curtain panels 4 together through the support vertical pipes 9 to form an integral structure;

[0046] Then, the upper and lower connecting pipes 3 are installed on opposite sides of the two air curtain plates 4. The lower connecting pipe 3 is connected to the discharge port of the screw conveyor 2 through a flange, and the upper connecting pipe 3 is connected to the feed port of the reactor 1 through a flange, ensuring a tight connection and no leakage.

[0047] Install gas canister 5: Place gas canister 5 between two air curtain panels 4, so that the connecting vertical pipes 52 at the upper and lower ends of gas canister 5 are respectively inserted into the vertical holes 46 on the opposite side of the two air curtain panels 4;

[0048] A sealing ring 54 is installed in the annular groove 53 of the connecting vertical pipe 52 to ensure that the outer ring of the sealing ring 54 fits tightly against the inner wall of the vertical hole 46, so as to achieve a seal between the gas tank 5 and the air curtain plate 4.

[0049] Connect centrifugal fan 6: Connect one end of suction pipe 7 to the side of air tank 5, and the other end to the air inlet of centrifugal fan 6;

[0050] One end of the ventilation pipe 8 is connected to the outlet of the centrifugal fan 6, and the other end is connected to the air inlet chamber 43 of the two air curtain plates 4 respectively, to ensure that the airflow can smoothly enter the air inlet chamber 43.

[0051] Work process

[0052] Solid raw material conveying: Start the screw conveyor 2, the screw blades rotate, and the solid raw material is conveyed from the feed port of the screw conveyor 2 to the discharge port. The solid raw material enters the connecting hole 42 of the air curtain plate 4 through the connecting pipe 3 below, and then passes through the supporting vertical pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 3 above, and finally enters the interior of the reactor 1.

[0053] Air curtain formation: Centrifugal fan 6 is started at the same time. Centrifugal fan 6 draws gas from gas tank 5 through suction pipe 7. After the gas is pressurized in centrifugal fan 6, it is sent into the air inlet chamber 43 of the two air curtain plates 4 through ventilation pipe 8 respectively.

[0054] The gas flows in the intake chamber 43 and then enters the inner side of the connecting hole 42 through the connecting chamber 45. Since the width of the connecting chamber 45 is greater than the diameter of the connecting hole 42, the gas forms a transverse air curtain inside the connecting hole 42, which blocks the connecting hole 42.

[0055] Airflow circulation: After passing through the inside of the connecting hole 42, the airflow from the air curtain enters the air outlet chamber 44, and then flows back to the inside of the air tank 5 through the vertical hole 46 and the connecting vertical pipe 52, thus completing the airflow circulation.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
