[0002] In the process of processing crude oil and natural gas, various high-temperature and high-pressure equipment is often required, such as reaction vessels, storage tanks, and heat exchangers. These devices are usually made of metal materials and are used for chemical reactions or intermediate product processing, such as alkylation, hydrogenation, cracking, and synthesis. The internal reaction temperature of the equipment usually needs to be maintained to ensure that the raw materials can react fully or maintain a stable physical state.

[0003] To reduce energy loss, maintain internal temperature, and improve heating efficiency, these metal pressure vessels typically have an external jacket for introducing heat sources such as steam or heat transfer oil. Some also have added insulation layers or are covered with insulating materials. However, the space between the jacket and the metal vessel is usually an air layer or filled with ordinary insulation cotton, resulting in significant heat conduction and convection. This leads to rapid heat loss from the vessel, increased energy consumption, instability of reaction temperature, and even safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a metal pressure vessel with an insulated structure to address these technical shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: a metal pressure vessel with a heat insulation structure, including a metal tank 11, a jacket 10 covering the outside of the metal tank 11, forming a sandwich 9 between the jacket 10 and the metal tank 11, a left support 1 installed on the left side of the metal tank 11, a right support 12 installed on the right side of the metal tank 11, a negative pressure component 8 installed above the right support 12, a stirring rack 3 assembled inside the metal tank 11, a stirring component 7 provided on the top of the stirring rack 3, a discharge component 13 provided at the bottom of the metal tank 11, the negative pressure component 8 including a vacuum pump 801, the vacuum pump 801 fixed to the top of the right support 12, an air hole 803 opened in the upper right corner of the inner wall of the sandwich 9, and an air extraction pipe 802 connected between the air hole 803 and the vacuum pump 801;

[0021] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the metal can 11 is covered by a jacket 10, and a closed interlayer 9 is formed between the jacket 10 and the metal can 11. An air hole 803 is provided at the upper right corner of the interlayer 9. The air hole 803 is used to communicate with the air extraction pipe 802. The other end of the air extraction pipe 802 is connected to the vacuum pump 801 inside the negative pressure assembly 8. The vacuum pump 801 is fixedly installed at the top of the right bracket 12 and is used to extract the air in the interlayer 9, so that the interlayer 9 is in a negative pressure state.

[0022] The upper part of the outer wall of the metal can 11 is covered with a liner 5. The liner 5 is made of microporous aluminum reflective film material, and its edge is attached to the horizontal plane where the jacket 10 is located.

[0023] Furthermore, a liner 5 is attached to the upper part of the outer wall of the metal can 11. The liner 5 is made of microporous aluminum reflective film material and is attached to the horizontal position of the jacket 10 to reflect heat radiation, further reducing heat loss inside the jacket 9 and thus improving the overall heat insulation efficiency.

[0024] Three sets of stepped thermometers 805 are installed on the right side of the interlayer 9. The stepped thermometers 805 are vertically and equally spaced in the upper, middle and lower layers of the interlayer 9. A solenoid valve 804 is installed at the air extraction pipe 802.

[0025] Furthermore, during the vacuuming process, three sets of stepped thermometers 805 are vertically installed at equal intervals on the right side inside the interlayer 9. The stepped thermometers 805 are used to record the temperature changes of the interlayer 9 in the upper, middle and lower layers, which is convenient for judging the thermal insulation status inside the interlayer 9. A solenoid valve 804 is installed in the middle section of the vacuum pipe 802 to control the opening or closing of the negative pressure.

[0026] The stirring assembly 7 includes a geared motor 702, which is fixed to the top of the left bracket 1. The output shaft of the geared motor 702 is fixedly connected to the outer magnetic rotor 703 downwards. An inner magnetic rotor 705 is installed at the bottom of the outer magnetic rotor 703. The bottom of the inner magnetic rotor 705 is fixedly connected to the stirring frame 3. An isolation sleeve 704 is installed between the outer magnetic rotor 703 and the inner magnetic rotor 705. A connecting flange 701 is installed on the outside of the isolation sleeve 704. The isolation sleeve 704 is fixed to the middle of the top of the metal tank 11 through the connecting flange 701.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the stirring assembly 7 is used to drive the stirring rack 3 to rotate inside the metal tank 11. The stirring assembly 7 includes a geared motor 702, which is fixedly installed on the top of the left bracket 1. The output shaft of the geared motor 702 is fixedly connected to an outer magnetic rotor 703. The outer magnetic rotor 703 is installed outside the metal tank 11 and fits against the outer side of the isolation sleeve 704 welded and fixed at the middle position of the top of the tank. The isolation sleeve 704 is made of hollow non-magnetic metal material, which serves to isolate the space inside and outside the tank. An inner magnetic rotor 705 is set inside the isolation sleeve 704. The inner magnetic rotor 705 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the stirring rack 3. When the geared motor 702 drives the outer magnetic rotor 703 to rotate, the magnetic field passes through the isolation sleeve 704 and drives the inner magnetic rotor 705 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the stirring rack 3 to achieve internal stirring. Since the entire stirring drive process does not need to penetrate the metal tank 11 body, the wear and leakage problems of dynamic seals are avoided. In a high-temperature sealing environment, the structure is stable and reliable, and it is suitable for stirring reactions of hazardous media such as hydrocarbons and high flash point solvents.

[0028] The discharge assembly 13 includes a discharge port 1305, which is located at the middle of the bottom of the metal tank 11. A bearing seat 1301 is fixedly installed inside the discharge port 1305. The bearing seat 1301 is rotatably connected to the stirring frame 3. A flow valve 1302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge port 1305.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a set of discharge ports 1305 are provided at the middle of the bottom of the metal tank 11 for discharging materials. A set of bearing seats 1301 are fixedly installed inside the discharge port 1305. The bearing seats 1301 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the stirring frame 3, which plays the role of stabilizing the stirring shaft and supporting the structure. A set of flow valves 1302 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge port 1305. The flow valves 1302 are used to adjust the discharge speed and discharge flow rate to ensure that the materials can be discharged stably.

[0030] A connector 1303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the flow valve 1302, and a chute 1304 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector 1303. A feed pipe 6 is connected to the upper left of the metal tank 11. Two sets of symmetrical feed ports 4 are opened at the front end of the inner wall of the metal tank 11. A controller 2 is installed on the left side of the outer wall of the left support 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom of the discharge port 1305 is connected to the chute 1304 via the connector 1303. The chute 1304 is used to guide the discharged material to the receiving container below to prevent dripping and splashing, ensuring a clean and stable discharge process. The discharge direction and speed can be flexibly controlled according to actual needs, making it suitable for material transfer and processing during the reaction process.

[0032] Working Principle: This device is suitable for the mixing and heat treatment of raw materials such as catalytic cracking, alkylation, and hydrogenation modification. Before use, the raw materials are introduced from the upper left of the metal tank 11 through the feed pipe 6, and flow into the reaction chamber through two sets of feed inlets symmetrically arranged at the front end of the inner wall of the tank. The controller 2 is installed on the left side of the outer wall of the left support 1 to control the start-up sequence and stirring speed of the system. After the start-up, the stirring assembly 7 drives the stirring rack 3 to mix the materials. In the stirring assembly 7, the gear speed change motor 702 is fixed to the top of the left support 1, and its output shaft is driven by the external magnetic rotor 703. The inner magnetic rotor 705 inside the sleeve 704 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the stirring frame 3 to achieve efficient stirring inside the vessel. This magnetic coupling structure eliminates the need for any mechanical shaft penetrating the metal tank 11 body, avoiding leakage problems under high temperature and pressure in traditional sealing structures. It is suitable for stirring reactions of hazardous media such as hydrocarbons and high flash point solvents. During the reaction, to prevent excessive heat loss, the metal tank 11 is covered with a jacket 10, forming a closed interlayer 9 between the jacket 10 and the metal tank 11. To improve heat insulation performance, the device forms a simple vacuum layer by setting a negative pressure component 8. The negative pressure component 8 encloses... The system includes a vacuum pump 801, which is connected to an air vent 803 at the upper right corner of the interlayer 9 via an air extraction pipe 802 and is controlled to open / close by a solenoid valve 804. Before operation, the vacuum pump 801 extracts air from the interlayer 9 to create a slight negative pressure, thereby suppressing heat convection and heat conduction in the interlayer 9. Three sets of stepped thermometers 805 are vertically and equally spaced inside the interlayer 9 to detect the temperature gradient changes of the upper, middle, and lower layers, respectively, to determine whether the thermal insulation state is stable. A ring of microporous aluminum reflective film liner 5 is also attached to the upper part of the outer wall of the metal can 11 to reflect infrared radiation. Thermal radiation further enhances the heat retention capacity of the tank. After the reaction is completed, the material is discharged through the discharge assembly 13. The bottom of the metal tank 11 has a discharge port 1305 in the middle. The bearing seat 1301 inside is rotatably connected to the lower end of the stirring frame 3 to provide support. A flow valve 1302 is installed at the bottom of the discharge port 1305 to adjust the discharge speed and flow rate. The connector 1303 and the chute 1304 are connected in sequence below it. The material is introduced into the receiving container through the chute 1304. The whole process is stable and smooth, and it is not easy to block or splash. The whole system has a compact structure and reliable sealing.
