Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reaction furnace technology, and in particular to a miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reaction furnace. Background Technology
[0002] Existing potassium sulfate reactors generally consist of three parts: a combustion chamber, a reaction chamber, and a flue. Heating is done via indirect heat transfer, using heavy oil, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), water gas, or ammonia synthesis off-gas as fuel. In the combustion chamber, fuel combustion generates temperatures of 900–1000°C. This heat radiates from the combustion chamber through silicon carbide bricks to the reaction chamber, maintaining the furnace bed temperature at 520°C.
[0003] 560℃, to meet production requirements.
[0004] Extensive research revealed that traditional experimental reactors in existing technologies are large in size, inconvenient to carry, and difficult to meet the needs of researchers in the field, remote areas, or mobile experimental scenarios.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] This invention provides a miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor, which solves the problems in the background art.
[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor, comprising a reactor body consisting of a reaction vessel and a combustion vessel. The reaction vessel is inserted into the combustion vessel, and a groove is formed on the inner wall of the combustion vessel. A slider is provided on the peripheral side of the reaction vessel, and the slider is slidably connected to the groove. A second fixing hole and a third fixing hole are respectively formed on both sides of the slider surface. A first fixing hole is formed on the peripheral side of the combustion vessel, and the first fixing hole is connected to the groove. The reaction vessel is fixedly connected to the combustion vessel through the first and second fixing holes by fasteners. The reactor body consists of a reaction vessel and a combustion vessel, and the reaction vessel is slidably connected to the groove by the slider, and fixed inside the combustion vessel by fasteners through the fixing holes. This design not only enables convenient disassembly and assembly of the reaction vessel and the combustion vessel, facilitating portability, but also ensures a tight fit between the two during use, allowing efficient transfer of heat generated by the combustion vessel to the reaction vessel, ensuring stable reaction temperature. Simultaneously, the sliding connection between the slider and the groove makes the installation and disassembly of the reaction vessel inside the combustion vessel simple and smooth, reducing the difficulty of operation for personnel and improving work efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, the combustion vessel is provided with a support rod on its periphery. The top surface of the support rod has a placement hole, and the bottom surface of the support rod has a support hole. A support leg is inserted into the support hole, and the support leg can also be placed inside the placement hole. The support rod on the periphery of the combustion vessel, along with the placement hole and support hole on the support rod, and the flexibly positioned support leg, provides diverse support options for the reactor. In different experimental environments, whether ground-based or tabletop experiments, the reactor can remain stable by adjusting the placement position of the support leg. This design effectively enhances the environmental adaptability of the reactor, reduces the impact of unstable support on experimental results, and the design of the support leg being retractable into the placement hole saves space when not in use, making it easy to carry and store.
[0009] Preferably, a fixing sleeve is installed on the outer surface of the combustion vessel, and an igniter is installed at the bottom of the interior of the combustion vessel. The igniter does not interfere with the reaction vessel, and the fixing sleeve provides a stable mounting position for the igniter, ensuring that it will not shift during use and guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of the ignition operation. The design of the igniter not interfering with the reaction vessel avoids interference with the experiment inside the reaction vessel during ignition, ensuring the safety of the experiment. Furthermore, this layout makes the ignition operation more convenient, allowing operators to easily ignite the fuel in the combustion vessel and improving experimental preparation efficiency.
[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the combustion tank is provided with an inspection port, and an inspection door is movably installed on the surface of the inspection port. The inspection port and the movably installed inspection door facilitate daily maintenance and troubleshooting of the reactor. During or after the experiment, if it is necessary to inspect, clean, or repair the interior of the combustion tank, the operator can directly open the inspection door to quickly access the internal components without complex disassembly of the reactor. This not only saves maintenance time but also reduces maintenance difficulty, extends the service life of the reactor, and ensures the normal operation of the reactor and the smooth conduct of the experiment.
[0011] Preferably, the outer diameter of the reaction vessel is equal to the inner diameter of the combustion vessel, and vice versa. This dimensional design allows the reaction vessel and the combustion vessel to fit tightly together, reducing heat loss during the transfer process. When the fuel combustion generates high temperatures, heat can be transferred more efficiently from the combustion vessel to the reaction vessel, ensuring that the temperature inside the reaction vessel quickly and stably reaches the required 520-560℃ for the experiment. This provides a favorable temperature environment for the potassium sulfate experiment, improving the success rate and accuracy of the experimental results.
[0012] Preferably, the top surface of the reaction vessel is provided with a sealing cap. This sealing cap effectively prevents the leakage of harmful gases generated during the reaction, protecting the health of laboratory personnel and ensuring a safe experimental environment. Simultaneously, the sealed internal environment of the reaction vessel avoids interference from external air, maintaining stable reaction conditions within the vessel, which is conducive to the smooth progress of the potassium sulfate experiment and ensures the reliability and accuracy of the experimental results.
[0013] Preferably, an exhaust pipe is provided through the periphery of the combustion tank. This exhaust pipe can promptly discharge the exhaust gases generated during combustion, maintaining air circulation within the combustion tank. Good air circulation helps the fuel to burn completely, improving combustion efficiency and thus increasing heat generation efficiency, providing a stable and sufficient heat source for the reaction tank. Furthermore, the exhaust pipe effectively reduces the concentration of exhaust gases within the combustion tank, minimizing hazards to personnel and ensuring experimental safety.
[0014] Compared with related technologies, the miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] Compared to existing technologies, the miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor is designed with a reactor body consisting of a reaction vessel and a combustion vessel, which are slidably connected by a slider and a slide groove, and secured with fasteners through fixing holes. When transporting, researchers can remove the fasteners, allowing the reaction vessel to slide along the slide groove into the combustion vessel until it is completely hidden inside. This ingenious design cleverly houses the reaction vessel within the combustion vessel, significantly reducing the overall size of the reactor and further simplifying transport. Upon arrival at the experimental site, the reaction vessel can be quickly slid out and secured with fasteners for rapid assembly. Whether in the field, remote areas, or mobile experimental scenarios, it can be easily transported and quickly put into use, effectively solving the problem of traditional experimental reactors being large and inconvenient to carry. This greatly expands the application range of experimental reactors and meets the needs of diverse experimental scenarios.
[0016] Compared to existing technologies, the support rods on the periphery of the combustion vessel, with placement holes on their top and bottom surfaces, along with support legs that can be switched between the two holes, provide a flexible support method for the reactor. When conducting experiments on a flat surface, the support legs are inserted into the support holes, ensuring the reactor stands stably. When the reactor needs to be placed on a tabletop or other platform, the support legs can be retracted into the placement holes, saving space and maintaining reactor stability. This effectively avoids experimental errors caused by unstable support, ensuring a safe and reliable experimental process and improving the accuracy of experimental data.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] First embodiment:
[0027] Please refer to the following: Figure 1-5A miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor includes a reactor body 1, which consists of a reaction vessel 2 and a combustion vessel 3. The reaction vessel 2 is inserted into the combustion vessel 3. A groove 12 is formed on the inner wall of the combustion vessel 3. A slider 16 is provided on the peripheral side of the reaction vessel 2, and the slider 16 is slidably connected to the groove 12. A second fixing hole 14 and a third fixing hole 15 are respectively formed on both sides of the slider 16. A first fixing hole 13 is formed on the peripheral side of the combustion vessel 3, and the first fixing hole 13 is connected to the groove 12. The reaction vessel 2 is fixedly connected to the combustion vessel 3 by fasteners passing through the first fixing hole 13 and the second fixing hole 14. The reactor body 1 consists of the reaction vessel 2 and the combustion vessel 3, with the reaction vessel 2 slidably connected to the groove 12 by the slider 16 and fixed inside the combustion vessel 3 by fasteners passing through the fixing holes. This design not only allows for convenient disassembly and assembly of the reaction vessel 2 and the combustion vessel 3, making them easy to carry, but also ensures a tight fit between the two during use, allowing the heat generated by the combustion vessel 3 to be efficiently transferred to the reaction vessel 2, ensuring a stable reaction temperature. Meanwhile, the sliding connection between the slider 16 and the groove 12 makes the installation and disassembly of the reaction vessel 2 in the combustion vessel 3 simple and smooth, reducing the difficulty of operation for operators and improving work efficiency.
[0028] The working principle of the miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0029] When using this miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor, the first step is assembly. Align the slider 16 of the reaction vessel 2 with the groove 12 on the inner wall of the combustion vessel 3, and slowly insert the reaction vessel 2 into the combustion vessel 3 along the groove 12. Once the slider 16 is fully engaged with the groove 12, use fasteners to pass through the first fixing hole 13 on the side of the combustion vessel 3 and the second fixing hole 14 on the surface of the slider 16 to firmly fix the reaction vessel 2 and the combustion vessel 3 together.
[0030] Next, select a suitable support method based on the experimental site conditions. If the experiment is conducted on the ground, remove the support leg 7 from the placement hole 17 at the top of the support rod 6 and insert it into the support hole 18 at the bottom of the support rod 6 to make the reactor stand stably; if the operation is carried out on a tabletop or other platform, keep the support leg 7 stored in the placement hole 17 and place the reactor directly on the platform.
[0031] Then, fuel is added to the combustion tank 3. After the fuel is added, the sealing cap 4 is placed on the top surface of the reaction tank 2 to ensure the airtightness of the reaction tank 2 and prevent gas leakage during the reaction process. Then, the ignition operation is performed through the igniter 11 in the fixing sleeve 9 installed on the outer surface of the combustion tank 3. Since the installation position of the igniter 11 does not interfere with the reaction tank 2, the fuel in the combustion tank 3 can be ignited safely and smoothly.
[0032] The fuel burns inside combustion tank 3, generating a high temperature of 900-1000℃. The heat is transferred to reaction tank 2 via radiation through the inner wall of combustion tank 3. Since the outer diameter of reaction tank 2 is equal to the inner diameter of combustion tank 3, and the two fit together tightly, efficient heat transfer is effectively ensured, maintaining the furnace bed temperature of reaction tank 2 at 520-560℃, meeting the temperature requirements of the potassium sulfate experiment and promoting the smooth progress of the experimental reaction.
[0033] During the reaction, the exhaust gases produced by combustion are discharged through the exhaust pipe 5, which runs through the side of the combustion tank 3, maintaining air circulation inside the combustion tank 3 to ensure complete combustion and prevent the accumulation of exhaust gases from posing a hazard to the experimental personnel. If it is necessary to inspect or maintain the interior of the combustion tank 3 during the experiment, the inspection door 8 at the inspection port 10 on the outer surface of the combustion tank 3 can be opened for convenient and quick operation, ensuring the smooth progress of the experiment.
[0034] Compared with related technologies, the miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] The miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor is designed with the reactor body 1 consisting of a reaction vessel 2 and a combustion vessel 3, which are slidably connected by a slider 16 and a slide groove 12, and secured by fasteners through fixing holes. When transporting, researchers can remove the fasteners, allowing the reaction vessel 2 to slide along the slide groove 12 into the combustion vessel 3 until it is completely hidden inside. This ingenious design cleverly houses the reaction vessel 2 within the combustion vessel 3, significantly reducing the size of the reactor body and further simplifying transport. Upon arrival at the experimental site, the reaction vessel 2 can be quickly slid out and secured with fasteners for rapid assembly. Whether in the field, remote areas, or mobile experimental scenarios, it can be easily transported and quickly put into use, effectively solving the problem of traditional experimental reactors being large and inconvenient to carry. This greatly expands the application range of experimental reactors and meets the needs of diverse experimental scenarios. The support rods 6 on the sides of the combustion vessel 3, with placement holes 17 on the top surface and support holes 18 on the bottom surface, along with support legs 7 that can be switched between the two holes, provide a flexible support method for the reactor. When conducting experiments on a flat surface, the support leg 7 is inserted into the support hole 18, which allows the reactor to stand stably on the ground. When the reactor needs to be placed on a table or other platform, the support leg 7 can be stored in the placement hole 17, which does not take up extra space and can keep the reactor stable, effectively avoiding experimental errors caused by unstable support, ensuring the safety and reliability of the experimental process, and improving the accuracy of experimental data.
[0036] Second embodiment:
[0037] Please refer to the following: Figure 1-5Based on the miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor provided in the first embodiment of this application, the second embodiment of this application proposes another miniature portable potassium sulfate experimental reactor. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.
[0038] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 The combustion vessel 3 is provided with support rods 6 on its surrounding sides. The top surface of each support rod 6 has a placement hole 17, and the bottom surface has a support hole 18. A support leg 7 is inserted into the support hole 18, and the support leg 7 can also be placed inside the placement hole 17. The support rods 6 on the surrounding sides of the combustion vessel, along with the placement holes 17 and 18, and the flexibly positioned support leg 7, provide diverse support options for the reactor. In different experimental environments, whether ground-based or tabletop, the reactor can remain stable by adjusting the placement position of the support leg 7. This design effectively enhances the reactor's environmental adaptability, reduces the impact of unstable support on experimental results, and the design allows the support leg 7 to be stored in the placement hole 17, saving space when not in use and facilitating transport and storage.
[0039] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 A fixing sleeve 9 is installed on the outer surface of the combustion vessel 3, and an igniter 11 is installed at the bottom of the interior of the combustion vessel 3. The igniter 11 does not interfere with the reaction vessel 2. The fixing sleeve 9 provides a stable installation position for the igniter 11, ensuring that the igniter 11 will not shift during use and guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of the ignition operation. The design of the igniter 11 not interfering with the reaction vessel 2 avoids interference with the experiment inside the reaction vessel 2 during ignition, ensuring the safety of the experiment. In addition, this layout makes the ignition operation more convenient, allowing operators to easily ignite the fuel in the combustion vessel 3 and improve the efficiency of experiment preparation.
[0040] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 The combustion tank 3 has an inspection port 10 on its outer surface, and an inspection door 8 is movably installed on the surface of the inspection port 10. The inspection port 10 and the movably installed inspection door 8 on the outer surface of the combustion tank 3 facilitate daily maintenance and troubleshooting of the reactor. During or after the experiment, if it is necessary to inspect, clean, or repair the interior of the combustion tank 3, the operator can directly open the inspection door 8 to quickly access the internal components of the combustion tank 3 without complex disassembly of the reactor. This not only saves maintenance time but also reduces maintenance difficulty, extends the service life of the reactor, and ensures the normal operation of the reactor and the smooth conduct of the experiment.
[0041] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 The outer diameter of reaction vessel 2 is equal to the inner diameter of combustion vessel 3, and vice versa. This dimensional design allows for a tight fit between reaction vessel 2 and combustion vessel 3, reducing heat loss during transfer. When fuel combustion generates high temperatures, heat can be transferred more efficiently from combustion vessel 3 to reaction vessel 2, ensuring that the temperature inside reaction vessel 2 quickly and stably reaches the required 520-560℃ for the experiment. This provides a favorable temperature environment for the potassium sulfate experiment, improving the success rate and accuracy of the results.
[0042] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 The top surface of the reaction vessel 2 is equipped with a sealing cap 4, which effectively prevents the leakage of harmful gases generated during the reaction process, protecting the health of the experimental personnel and ensuring the safety of the experimental environment. Simultaneously, the sealed internal environment of the reaction vessel 2 avoids interference from external air, maintaining stable reaction conditions within the vessel, which is conducive to the smooth progress of the potassium sulfate experiment and ensures the reliability and accuracy of the experimental results.
[0043] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 The combustion tank 3 is equipped with a flue pipe 5 running through its circumference. This flue pipe 5 effectively discharges the exhaust gases generated during combustion, maintaining air circulation within the combustion tank 3. Good air circulation promotes complete fuel combustion, improves combustion efficiency, and consequently enhances heat generation efficiency, providing a stable and sufficient heat source for the reaction tank 2. Furthermore, the flue pipe 5 effectively reduces the concentration of exhaust gases within the combustion tank 3, minimizing hazards to personnel and ensuring experimental safety.
