Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalytic reactor technology, and more specifically, relates to a self-cleaning catalytic reactor. Background Technology
[0002] In catalytic reactions, the catalytic reactor is the core equipment, and its performance directly affects the reaction efficiency and product quality. After long-term use, impurities such as reactant residues and deactivated catalyst particles easily accumulate inside the catalytic reactor. These impurities adhere to the inner wall of the reactor and the surface of the catalyst, which not only affects the catalytic reaction and reduces reaction efficiency, but may also lead to a decrease in catalyst activity and a shortened catalyst lifespan.
[0003] Understanding of existing catalytic reactor applications: Traditional catalytic reactor cleaning methods usually require manual cleaning after shutdown. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the labor intensity of operators, but also leads to long equipment downtime, affecting production efficiency and increasing production costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a self-cleaning catalytic reactor, which solves the problem that existing catalytic reactor cleaning methods typically require manual cleaning after shutdown. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the workload of operators, but also leads to prolonged equipment downtime, affecting production efficiency and increasing production costs.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows: A self-cleaning catalytic reactor includes a support frame; the reactor is fixedly installed in the middle of the support frame, an installation platform is fixedly installed at the rear of the support frame, a water tank is fixedly installed at the top of the installation platform, the top of the water tank is connected to a pump body via a conduit, the other end of the pump body is fixedly connected to the top of a one-way pipe, a conical groove is provided at the upper part of the inside of the one-way pipe, a Y-shaped frame is fixedly installed at the lower part of the inside of the one-way pipe, the middle part of the Y-shaped frame is slidably connected to the lower middle part of a reset component, the top of the reset component is conical, a spring is sleeved on the outer part of the reset component, the top of the spring fits against the upper middle part of the reset component, and the bottom of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the Y-shaped frame.
[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the one-way pipe is connected to the water inlet of the cleaning spray ring, and the cleaning spray ring is located in the upper middle part of the reactor.
[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a motor is fixedly installed at the top center of the reactor, and the lower part of the motor shaft is fixedly connected to the top center of the mixing shaft.
[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mixing shaft is located inside the reactor, and a mixing tooth is provided at both the middle and bottom positions of the mixing shaft.
[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a drain valve is provided at the bottom center of the reactor, and the drain valve is located directly below the mixing shaft.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: Through the linkage design of the pump body, one-way pipe and cleaning spray ring, the cleaning program can be started directly after the equipment operation is completed, avoiding the drawback of traditional manual cleaning that requires machine shutdown, greatly shortening equipment downtime and improving production efficiency.
[0011] The conical groove, reset element, and spring inside the one-way pipe form a one-way valve structure. When the pump is working, the water flow can smoothly pass through the cleaning spray ring to rinse the inner wall of the reactor. When the pump stops, the spring pushes the reset element to close the conical groove to prevent water backflow, ensuring the cleaning process is safe and reliable and reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0021] Example: As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown: This invention provides a self-cleaning catalytic reactor, including a support frame 1; a reactor 102 is fixedly installed in the middle of the support frame 1, and an installation platform 101 is fixedly installed at the rear of the support frame 1. A water tank 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation platform 101, and a pump body 201 is connected to the top of the water tank 2 via a conduit. The other end of the pump body 201 is fixedly connected to the top of a one-way pipe 202. A conical groove is provided at the upper part of the interior of the one-way pipe 202, and a reactor 102 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the interior of the one-way pipe 202. There is a Y-shaped frame 203, the middle position of which is slidably connected to the lower middle position of the reset member 204. The top position of the reset member 204 is tapered. A spring 205 is sleeved on the outer side of the reset member 204. The top position of the spring 205 fits against the upper middle position of the reset member 204. The bottom position of the spring 205 is fixedly connected to the top position of the Y-shaped frame 203. The bottom position of the one-way pipe 202 is connected to the water inlet position of the cleaning spray ring 206. The cleaning spray ring 206 is located in the upper middle position inside the reactor 102.
[0022] The reactor 102 has a motor 103 fixedly installed at the top center position. The lower part of the motor 103's rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top center position of the mixing shaft 104. The mixing shaft 104 is located inside the reactor 102, and a mixing tooth is provided at both the center and bottom positions of the mixing shaft 104. A drain valve 105 is provided at the bottom center position of the reactor 102, and the drain valve 105 is located directly below the mixing shaft 104.
[0023] When using: The support frame 1 is used to support the entire catalytic reactor device and ensure its stable placement. The raw materials are placed inside the reactor 102. After the motor 103 is started, its rotating shaft drives the mixing shaft 104 to rotate. The mixing shaft 104 is located inside the reactor 102, and the mixing teeth in the middle and bottom of the mixing shaft 104 stir and mix the reactants in the reactor 102, so that the reactants and catalyst are in full contact, promoting the catalytic reaction. After the reaction is completed, the drain valve 105 at the middle position at the bottom of the reactor 102 is opened, and the reaction products are discharged from the drain valve 105.
[0024] When it is necessary to clean the reactor 102, the pump body 201 is started. Water in the water tank 2 is drawn into the pump body 201 through the conduit, and then the pump body 201 transfers the water to the one-way pipe 202. After the water flows into the one-way pipe 202, the water pressure pushes the reset member 204 to move downward and compress the spring 205. At this time, the conical part at the top of the reset member 204 separates from the conical groove inside the one-way pipe 202. The water flows through the bottom of the one-way pipe 202 and enters the cleaning spray ring 206. The cleaning spray ring 206 rinses the inside of the reactor 102.
[0025] When the pump body 201 stops working, the water pressure disappears, the spring 205 returns to its original state, and pushes the reset part 204 to move upward. The conical part at the top of the reset part 204 fits into the conical groove inside the one-way pipe 202, sealing the internal space of the one-way pipe 202 and preventing water backflow.
[0026] Although this application has been described with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this application as defined by the appended claims. While this specification contains details of many specific implementations, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims, but rather as descriptions of features specific to particular embodiments. The scope of this application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents, and is not limited to the embodiments described above.
