Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogenation reactors, specifically a leak-proof fixed-bed hydrogenation reactor device. Background Technology

[0002] In the petrochemical and coal chemical industries, hydrogenation is a crucial chemical reaction process, widely used in oil upgrading, heavy oil refining, and coal liquefaction. The hydrogenation reactor, as the core equipment in the hydrogenation reaction, directly impacts the efficiency and product quality of the entire production process due to its stability and safety. In actual production, the interior of the hydrogenation reactor operates under high temperature, high pressure, and strong corrosive conditions, easily leading to the accumulation of reaction products, catalyst particles, or other impurities on the reactor's inner wall. These residues not only affect the reactor's heat transfer efficiency and reduce reaction selectivity but can also accelerate equipment corrosion, shorten its lifespan, and even cause safety accidents in extreme cases. Traditional methods to address these issues often involve periodic shutdowns for maintenance and manual or mechanical cleaning of the reactor interior. However, this approach is complex, costly, inefficient, and difficult to completely remove residues. Cleaning is particularly challenging when handling high-viscosity, coking-prone materials. Therefore, we propose a leak-proof fixed-bed hydrogenation reactor. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a leak-proof fixed-bed hydrogenation reactor, which solves the aforementioned problems.

[0036] Sealing cover B6: It is slidably installed at the other end of the hydrogenation reactor 1 and can be opened or closed when needed to achieve sealing control at both ends of the reactor. It also facilitates internal cleaning and maintenance operations. The outer wall of the sealing cover B6 has an annular notch 15 near the inner side. The outer wall of the notch 15 is fitted with a rubber sealing ring 16 for sealing to enhance the sealing effect.

[0037] Protruding rod 7: It is fixed to the end of the piston rod of the drive cylinder 5 and moves with the extension and retraction of the piston rod, participating in the work as part of the scraping and cleaning assembly;

[0038] Scraper ring 8: It is circular and is slidably installed on the inner wall of hydrogenation reactor 1. Its outer wall is in close contact with the inner wall of hydrogenation reactor 1. It is used to scrape off the residual substances on the inner wall of hydrogenation reactor 1 to ensure the cleanliness of the reactor interior.

[0039] The four sets of fixed frames 9 are arranged in a cross shape and are fixed to the outer wall of the hydrogenation reactor 1 corresponding to the piston rod of the drive cylinder 5. The ends of the four sets of fixed frames 9 that are away from the piston rod are fixed to the inner wall of the scraper ring 8.

[0040] Round hole 10: It is opened at the middle position of the top outer wall of the two sets of sliding rods 12, and is adapted to the insertion rod 20 to fix the position of the sliding rod 12;

[0048] Return spring 18: It is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 12 between the fixed plate 11 and the limiting cover 17. When the limiting cover 17 moves, the return spring 18 is squeezed and deformed, and the limiting cover 17 drives the sliding rod 12 to slide to the initial position through its own rebound force.

[0049] Round cap 19: Sleeve over the top of the two sets of insert rods 20, providing some protection and fixation for the insert rods 20;

[0050] Insert rods 20: Two sets are provided, slidably mounted on the top of the two sets of fixing plates 11. The ends of the two sets of insert rods 20 are slidably inserted into the two sets of round holes 10, respectively, to fix the position of the sliding rod 12 and prevent the sealing cover B6 from being squeezed out due to too much liquid in the hydrogenation reactor 1. When it is necessary to move the sliding rod 12, the two sets of insert rods 20 can be pulled out from the two sets of round holes 10.

[0051] Working principle: When it is necessary to scrape off the residual material on the inner wall of the hydrogenation reactor 1, the material inside the hydrogenation reactor 1 is first emptied. Then, the two sets of round covers 19 are pulled upward on the two sets of fixed plates 11, so that the bottom ends of the two sets of insert rods 20 are respectively disengaged from the two sets of round holes 10. Next, the drive cylinder 5 is started, and the piston rod on the drive cylinder 5 extends into the hydrogenation reactor 1. The piston rod slides on the sealing cover A3 and pushes the four sets of fixed frames 9. The scraping ring 8 scrapes off the residual material on the inner wall of the hydrogenation reactor 1 through the movement of the four sets of fixed frames 9. When the protruding rod 7 slides to fit against the inner side of the sealing cover B6, the sealing cover B6 is squeezed and pushes the linkage plate 13 outward through the connecting rod 14. The two sets of sliding rods 12 are pulled by the linkage plate 13 and slide on the two sets of fixed plates 11 respectively. The two sets of limiting covers 17 slide along with the sliding rods 12. The sliding action compresses the return spring 18, causing it to deform and shorten. It then disengages from the end of the hydrogenation reactor 1 through the sealing cover B6, allowing the scraper ring 8 to discharge residual substances from the hydrogenation reactor 1 and to perform manual cleaning. After cleaning, the piston rod on the drive cylinder 5 retracts, and the two sets of return springs 18, through their own rebound force, cause the limiting cover 17 to slide towards the fixed plate 11, resealing the end of the hydrogenation reactor 1 with the sealing cover B6. The rubber sealing ring 16 enhances the sealing effect of the sealing cover B6. The two sets of insert rods 20 are then reinserted into the two sets of round holes 10, fixing the position of the two sets of sliding rods 12 to prevent the sealing cover B6 from being squeezed out due to excessive liquid in the hydrogenation reactor 1.

[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
