Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to waste treatment technology, and particularly to plasma energy equipment.

Background Art

[0002] As a common treatment method for waste such as common garbage, agricultural waste, medical waste, industrial waste, etc., it is generally more common to put the waste into a treatment facility and burn it. However, after waste containing tar or biomass waste is carbonized, the tar is discharged together with the gas generated by carbonization and pollutes the natural environment. Even if the gas after waste carbonization is controlled by a treatment facility, the tar will clog the valves, pipelines, and devices in the treatment facility and cause corrosion.

[0003] Previously, in the "Waste Treatment Furnace and Treatment Facility Having the Same" of Japanese Patent No. 7165234 (Patent Application No. 2021-73266) obtained by the applicant, it included a waste treatment furnace, a heat exchange system, and a purification module. The heat exchange system had a first heat exchange module connected to the exhaust pipe of the furnace body and had a liquid storage member connected to the first heat exchange module. The purification module had an inlet port and an exhaust port. The inlet port communicated with the first heat exchange module, and a spray section was configured between the inlet port and the exhaust port. The waste treatment facility mainly significantly reduced the temperature of the gas discharged from the waste treatment furnace by a plurality of heat exchange systems, then sent it to the purification module, removed harmful substances in the gas, and discharged a non-polluting synthetic gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen. However, the above-mentioned patented treatment facility had the problem of being huge in volume.

[0004] Furthermore, in order to solve the problems of the above patent, the applicant has also filed another patent application, Republic of China Patent Application No. 112130693, for "waste treatment equipment," which includes a furnace body, the furnace body having a containment cylinder used to contain waste, the containment cylinder communicating with the treatment space of the furnace body through an opening, the treatment space having a raw material accumulation area, a raw material waiting area, an oxidation area, an activated carbon slag layer area and an ash slag accumulation area formed in order from top to bottom, the activated carbon slag layer area having an exhaust gas collection member used to collect exhaust gas generated when the furnace body heats the waste inside, and further configured to flow the exhaust gas into the activated carbon slag layer area for initial filtration, and then collect the exhaust gas that has undergone initial filtration again through the exhaust gas collection member. However, in the activated carbon slag layer area, the accumulation and compression of carbon slag or other materials / substances may create a confined area due to overcrowding. As a result, exhaust gas can pass through the activated carbon slag layer area and is not collected by the exhaust gas collection member. This accumulation of exhaust gas could lead to an excessively high concentration of flammable gases (such as hydrogen) in the exhaust gas, potentially causing an explosion.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7165234 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0006] Based on the problems described above, it is necessary to further improve the conventional waste treatment facilities mentioned above.

[0007] To solve the above problems, the first object of the present invention is to provide a plasma energy system that can help in the discharge of exhaust gases from inside a furnace.

[0008] A second object of the present invention is to provide a plasma energy facility that can prevent the formation of dense and airtight areas within the facility. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The terms "direction" or similar terms used throughout the text of this invention, such as "front," "back," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inside," "outside," and "side," primarily refer to the directions shown in the accompanying diagrams. These terms are used solely to describe and illustrate the various embodiments of this invention and are not intended to limit it.

[0010] The use of the quantifier “one” throughout the text of this invention is for convenience only, and to provide the usual meaning within the scope of this invention. In this invention, it should be interpreted as including one or at least one. Furthermore, unless explicitly stated otherwise, a single concept also includes plural forms.

[0011] The terms "first," "second," ..., and "nth" as used throughout the specification of this invention are primarily used to distinguish descriptions of different elements or features (e.g., features such as members, directions, or procedures) and do not indicate the maximum or minimum number of such elements or features that a corresponding subject or method may have, nor do they limit the order of priority.

[0012] The approximate terms "join," "combine," "assemble," "install," and "set up" as used throughout this invention primarily include forms that allow for separation without damaging the components after connection, or without making the components irreparable after connection. A person with general knowledge in this field can choose according to the materials or assembly requirements of the components to be connected.

[0013] The plasma energy equipment of the present invention includes a furnace body, a heating module, and a gas induction device. The furnace body has an internal processing space and a gas collection passage communicating with the internal processing space. The heating module is installed in the furnace body and used to heat the internal processing space. The gas induction device is installed in the internal processing space and further includes a first tube and a second tube. The first tube extends axially and consists of a shell with a hollow interior, and has a plurality of first through holes installed on its side wall. The second tube extends axially and consists of a shell with a hollow interior, and has a plurality of second through holes installed on its side wall. The first tube is fitted to the outside of the second tube, and there is a gap between the first tube and the second tube. Therefore, gas can flow from the internal processing space through the plurality of first through holes, the plurality of second through holes, the space inside the first tube, and the space inside the second tube, and further to the gas collection passage.

[0014] As a result, in the plasma energy equipment of the present invention, the gas induction device is arranged to have a hollow first tube, a hollow second tube, a plurality of first through holes, and a plurality of second through holes, which allows the gas inside the furnace to be effectively guided to the gas collection passage, thus contributing to gas induction and discharge.

[0015] Furthermore, the first tube has a first ratchet tooth, and the second tube has a second ratchet tooth. When the first ratchet tooth and the second ratchet tooth engage, one of the first and second tubes rotates in a first direction along the axial direction, causing the other of the first and second tubes to rotate synchronously in conjunction. If the resistance received outside the first tube is higher than the resistance between the first and second tubes, one of the first and second tubes rotates in a second direction along the axial direction, causing the other of the first and second tubes to jump axially in conjunction. The first direction described above consists of either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, and the second direction described above consists of either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation. In this way, by rotating or jumping the first pipe, the waste around it can be stirred, and in particular, by stirring the waste around the first pipe, the plurality of first through holes, the plurality of second through holes in the second pipe, and other members or structures, gas can be conducted between the waste, allowing the gas in the internal processing space to easily flow into the gas induction device, and furthermore, the occurrence of an explosion can be avoided.

[0016] Furthermore, in the axial direction, the first tube has a first apex and a first bottom opposite to the first apex, the second tube has a second apex and a second bottom opposite to the second apex, the first tube has an axial column, the second apex and second bottom of the second tube each have axial holes, and the axial column is drilled in each of the axial holes. In this way, by drilling the axial column in two axial holes spaced apart from each other, a stable connection can be ensured between the first tube and the second tube during the process of the first tube moving relative to the second tube, and in particular, a stable connection can be ensured between the first ratchet teeth and the second ratchet teeth.

[0017] Furthermore, the radial length of the first tube in the outward direction along the axial direction varies. In this way, when the first tube and the second tube undergo relative motion, the surrounding waste can be more effectively agitated, thereby allowing gas to pass between the waste and easily flowing the gas in the internal processing space into the gas induction device, and further preventing the occurrence of an explosion.

[0018] Furthermore, a portion of the second tube extends from the first tube in the axial direction, forming a protrusion, and the protrusion has at least one of the plurality of second through holes. In the axial direction, the second tube has a second apex and a second bottom end opposite to the second apex, and the protrusion has a shape in which the radial length toward the second bottom end gradually increases along the axial direction, and at least one of the plurality of second through holes is positioned in the protrusion to have a relatively large radial length. In this way, the gas flowing into the gas induction device can be more easily discharged back out of the gas induction device into the gas collection passage, and in particular, since the gas inside the second tube has a flow toward the radially outward direction, the gas can be effectively collected and the gas can be discharged from inside the furnace body.

[0019] Furthermore, in the axial direction, the first tube has a first apex and a first bottom opposite the first apex, and the first tube forms an opening at the first bottom. Due to the gradually expanding shape of the protrusion, the gas flowing out from the opening flows radially outward along the gradually expanding shape of the protrusion and toward the gas collection passage. In this way, the gas inside the first tube has a flow that flows radially outward, so that the gas can be collected effectively and discharged from inside the furnace body.

[0020] The plasma energy equipment of the present invention also includes a stirring device, the stirring device includes a stirring member, and is installed in the internal processing space of the furnace body, and the stirring member has a hollow first fluid passage and at least one first transport passage, and the gas imported into the first fluid passage is exported from the at least one first transport passage. In this way, the waste can be dispersed and the cross-linking phenomenon between the waste can be prevented, and the oxygen content of the waste can be increased.

[0021] Furthermore, the stirring member has at least one stirring section that extends outward from the radial direction of the stirring member, and each stirring section has at least one hollow second fluid passage and at least one second transport passage, and the at least one second fluid passage and the first fluid passage are in communication with each other, and the gas imported into the first fluid passage flows into each of the second fluid passages and is then exported again from the corresponding second transport passages. In this way, the waste can be dispersed and the cross-linking phenomenon between waste materials can be prevented, and the oxygen content of the waste can be increased.

[0022] The plasma energy equipment of the present invention also includes a gas treatment system, the gas treatment system having a temporary gas slot, a gas-liquid separator, a reuse unit and a measurement unit, the temporary gas slot is used to capture the gas discharged from the gas collection passage by the furnace body, the gas-liquid separator is used to contain the gas discharged from the temporary gas slot and the waste liquid condensed by the corresponding gas, a liquid recovery device is installed below the gas-liquid separator to capture the condensed waste liquid, the reuse unit captures and stores the gas discharged from the gas-liquid separator, and the measurement unit captures and measures the gas discharged from the gas-liquid separator. In this way, the gas-liquid separator can lower the temperature of the high-temperature gas discharged from the furnace body and condense the waste liquid, thereby separating the waste liquid from the gas. Furthermore, the reuse unit can recover gas with reusable value from the discharged gas. Furthermore, by measuring the gas emitted by the aforementioned measurement unit, it is possible to ensure that the emitted gas complies with environmental protection regulations.

[0023] Furthermore, the gas-liquid separator has a liquid-cooled heat sink structure, and a plurality of connecting pipes and at least one liquid passage are arranged in the liquid-cooled heat sink structure. Each of the connecting pipes is used for the flow of gas inside the gas-liquid separator, the liquid passage surrounds part or all of the plurality of connecting pipes, and the liquid passage is used for the liquid to flow in and out of the gas-liquid separator. In this way, the arrangement of the liquid-cooled heat sink structure allows the relatively low-temperature liquid located in the at least one liquid passage to at least partially cover the connecting pipes which have a relatively high temperature, thereby lowering the gas temperature and causing the waste liquid to condense.

[0024] The plasma energy equipment of the present invention further includes a heat dissipation system. The heat dissipation system has a liquid cooling module. The liquid cooling module includes a liquid storage tank, a liquid-cooled heat sink part, a radiator and a plurality of liquid pipelines. The liquid storage tank is used to store liquid for reducing temperature. The liquid-cooled heat sink part is arranged on the heating module, receives the liquid from the liquid storage tank and reduces the temperature of the heating module. The radiator is used to receive the liquid flowing through the liquid-cooled heat sink part, reduce the temperature of the liquid and then discharge it back to the liquid storage tank again. The plurality of liquid pipelines are arranged between the liquid storage tank, the liquid-cooled heat sink part and the radiator. Thus, the heating module can be quickly cooled down by the liquid cooling module.

[0025] The plasma energy equipment of the present invention further includes a heat dissipation system. The heat dissipation system has an air cooling module. The air cooling module includes a gas supplier, an air-cooled heat dissipation part and a plurality of gas pipelines. The gas supplier is used to supply gas into the air-cooled heat dissipation part. The air-cooled heat dissipation part is arranged on the heating module. The plurality of gas pipelines are arranged between the gas supplier and the air-cooled heat dissipation part. Thus, the heating module can be quickly cooled down by the air cooling module.

[Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention]

[0027] To further clarify and make understandable the above and other objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Furthermore, parts indicated by the same reference numerals in different drawings are considered to be the same, and their descriptions are omitted.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1, an embodiment of the plasma energy equipment of the present invention includes a furnace body 1, a heating module H, and a gas induction device 2, wherein the heating module H and the gas induction device 2 are installed in the furnace body 1.

[0029] The furnace body 1 has an internal processing space S, and in particular, the furnace body 1 is generally formed in a barrel shape to define the internal processing space S. More specifically, the internal processing space S is used to accumulate waste awaiting processing and includes, in order from top to bottom along the axial direction, a waste accumulation area S1, an activated carbon slag layer area S2, and an ash slag accumulation area S3. For example, the waste awaiting processing refers to waste, preferably biomass waste / waste, and this waste is mainly heated in the activated carbon slag layer area S2 and becomes processed waste, and in particular becomes ash slag before being discharged from the ash slag accumulation area S3.

[0030] In particular, the interior of the furnace body 1 has a gas collection passage 11 that communicates with the internal processing space S, and the gas from the internal processing space S is guided by the gas collection passage 11 to the gas processing system 4 (as shown in Figure 6, which will be described later). Optionally, a filter 11F is installed in the gas collection passage 11 to filter ash from the flowing gas.

[0031] More specifically, the furnace body 1 has a furnace body top end 1a and a furnace body bottom end 1b opposite the furnace body top end 1a in the axial direction. The top end opening Oa is installed at the furnace body top end 1a and is used to import waste from the top end opening Oa to the internal processing space S of the furnace body 1. The bottom end opening Ob is installed at the furnace body bottom end 1b and is used to discharge the processed waste (e.g., ash slag) from the internal processing space S through the bottom end opening Ob.

[0032] The furnace body 1 may optionally have a plurality of gas inlets 12, which are used to supply gas or other combustion aids into the internal processing space S, thereby increasing the oxygen content of the waste in the furnace body 1 or improving the combustion efficiency.

[0033] The heating module H is installed in the furnace body 1, and in particular is positioned to align with the activated carbon slag layer area S2, and is used to heat the waste in the activated carbon slag layer area S2. The heating module H can generate a temperature of 300°C or higher in the activated carbon slag layer area S2, preferably 400 to 1200°C, and more preferably 500 to 900°C. However, the present invention is not limited to the temperatures exemplified, and the value of the generated temperature range can be adjusted in 1°C increments. Optionally, the heating module H may consist of microwave equipment, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In particular, the heating module H can be used in combination with a heat dissipation system 5 (as shown in Figure 6, which will be described later).

[0034] As shown in Figures 1-5, the gas induction device 2 is installed in the internal processing space S and extends from the activated carbon slag layer area S2 toward the ash slag deposition area S3. The gas induction device 2 has a first tube 21 and a second tube 22. The first tube 21 extends along the axial direction and consists of a shell with a hollow space inside, and has a plurality of first through holes 21H installed on the side wall of the first tube 21. The second tube 22 extends along the axial direction and consists of a shell with a hollow space inside, and has a plurality of second through holes 22H installed on the side wall of the second tube 22. The first pipe 21 is fitted to the outside of the second pipe 22, and there is a gap between the first pipe 21 and the second pipe 22, allowing the gas to flow from the internal processing space S to the first through hole 21H, the second through hole 22H, and between the space inside the first pipe 21 and the space inside the second pipe 22. Preferably, the gas flows out of at least one second through hole 22H where the second pipe 22 is located further away from the first pipe 21 in the axial direction, and then flows back into the gas collection passage 11.

[0035] In particular, as shown in Figures 2-5, the first tube 21 has a first ratchet tooth 21R, and the second tube 22 has a second ratchet tooth 22R, and the first ratchet tooth 21R and the second ratchet tooth 22R mesh with each other. Due to the arrangement in which the first ratchet tooth 21R and the second ratchet tooth 22R mesh with each other, when one of the first tube 21 and the second tube 22 rotates in the first direction along the axial direction, the other of the first tube 21 and the second tube 22 rotate in conjunction and synchronously. In particular, as shown in Figure 5, when the external resistance of the first tube 21 is higher than the resistance between the first tube 21 and the second tube 22, one of the first tube 21 and the second tube 22 rotates in the second direction along the axial direction, causing the other of the first tube 21 and the second tube 22 to jump or reciprocate in the axial direction in conjunction. The first direction described above consists of either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation, and the second direction described above consists of the other of either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

[0036] It should be noted that, in actual application conditions and when rotating in the second direction, if the waste to be processed is left in the internal processing space, the resistance of the waste on the outside of the first tube 21 will be substantially higher than the resistance (static friction) between the first ratchet teeth 21R and the second ratchet teeth 22R, causing a jumping motion between the first tube 21 and the second tube 22. In particular, given that the second tube 22 does not experience axial displacement, the jumping motion described above causes the first tube 21 to agitate the waste around it, so the gas in the internal processing space S easily flows into the gas induction device 2.

[0037] More specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention shown in Figures 1 to 5, the first tube 21 has a first apex 21a and a first bottom 21b opposite to the first apex 21a in the axial direction, the first tube 21 extends from the first apex 21a toward the first bottom 21b, and an opening 210 is formed at the position of the first bottom 21b, and the second tube 22 is fitted into the interior of the first tube 21 through the opening 210.

[0038] Optionally, the first tube 21 is arranged such that its radial length changes outward along its axial direction. When the first tube 21 rotates, it can agitate the waste on the radial side, thus avoiding the occurrence of bridging phenomena. Furthermore, as the waste moves, the gas in the internal processing space S can flow into the gas induction device 2. The above-mentioned arrangement of the radial length of the first tube 21, which changes along its axial direction, can be achieved by installing corresponding agitation members. Optionally, the first tube 21 has a top agitation member 21T that extends radially outward from the first top end 21a and is used to agitate the waste on the radial side. Optionally, the first tube 21 has one or more side wall agitation members 21L that extend radially outward from the side wall of the first tube 21. If there are multiple side wall stirring members 21L, they can be installed with spacing between them in the axial and / or radial directions to achieve a better stirring effect on the waste in the radial direction.

[0039] More specifically, in the embodiments of the present invention shown in Figures 1 to 5, the second tube 22 has a second apex 22a and a second bottom 22b opposite to the second apex 22a in the axial direction, and the second tube 22 extends from the second apex 22a toward the second bottom 22b. The second ratchet teeth 22R are installed on the outer wall of the second apex 22a of the second tube 22. When the first tube 21 is fitted into the second tube 22, the first ratchet teeth 21R and the second ratchet teeth 22R mesh with each other, so that the first tube 21 and the second tube 22 can rotate simultaneously or jump in opposition to each other.

[0040] Preferably, a portion of the second tube 22 extends axially from the first tube 21 to form a projection 22P. The projection 22P has at least one of the plurality of second through holes 22H, preferably a plurality of them. In this way, the projection 22P extends axially from the first tube 21, allowing the gas flowing into the gas induction device 2 to flow out more easily from the gas induction device 2 into the gas collection passage 11.

[0041] More preferably, the protrusion 22P has a shape in which the radial length toward the second bottom end 22b along the axial direction gradually increases, and at least one of the plurality of second through holes 22H is located at a position in the protrusion 22P that has a relatively large radial length. In this way, by having at least one second through hole 22H located at a position in the protrusion 22P that has a relatively large radial length, the gas inside the second pipe 22 can have a flow toward the radially outward direction, and in addition, because the position of the gas outlet is closer to the gas collection passage 11, the gas flow also moves toward the gas collection passage 11, which helps the gas to flow into the gas collection passage 11. In particular, the gradually expanding shape of the protrusion 22P allows the gas flowing out of the first pipe body 21 at the opening 210 of the first bottom end 21b to flow radially outward along the gradually expanding shape of the protrusion 22P. As a result, the gas flow is directed towards the gas collection passage 11, which helps the gas to flow into the gas collection passage 11.

[0042] Preferably, in order to stabilize the meshing relationship between the first ratchet teeth 21R and the second ratchet teeth 22R, the first tube 21 may have an additional shaft column 23, the second top end 22a and the second bottom end 22b of the second tube 22 each have shaft holes 220, and the shaft column 23 is drilled in these shaft holes 220. In this way, since the shaft holes 220 are arranged at a specific distance in the axial direction, the radial movement of the shaft column 23 is restricted by the shaft holes 220, so that the connected relationship between the first ratchet teeth 21R and the second ratchet teeth 22R can be ensured during the rotation or jumping process of the first tube 21. More specifically, in order to install the shaft column 23, the first ratchet teeth 21R and the second ratchet teeth 22R each have corresponding openings 210 and shaft holes 220, respectively, and are used to drill the shaft column 23, and the first tubular body 21 also has a selectably corresponding opening 210 and is used to drill the shaft column 23. Preferably, the shaft column 23 has an enlarged diameter portion 231 on one side extending from the shaft hole 220 to the second bottom end 22b, and the radial length of the enlarged diameter portion 231 is longer than the radial length of the shaft hole 220, so that the shaft column 23 does not fall out of the shaft hole 220 at the second bottom end 22b during the motion process, thereby ensuring the connection between the first ratchet teeth 21R and the second ratchet teeth 22R, and preventing the first tubular body 21 from deflecting relative to the second tubular body 22. In particular, there is an axial gap D between the enlarged diameter portion 231 and the second bottom end 22b, and the length of the gap D is not less than the axial jump distance between the first ratchet tooth 21R and the second ratchet tooth 22R.

[0043] In particular, the gas induction device 2 has a first driver M1 that drives the rotation or jump of the first tube 21 and the second tube 22. In the embodiment of the present invention shown in Figures 1 to 5, the gas induction device 2 also has a bottom extension 24 attached to the second bottom end 22b of the second tube 22, and the bottom extension 24 is connected to the first driver M1, and the rotation of the first driver M1 causes the bottom extension 24 and the second tube 22 to rotate in conjunction, and by controlling the forward or reverse rotation of the first driver M1, the first tube 21 and the second tube 22 rotate in conjunction and synchronously or jump relative to each other. In particular, in this embodiment, the first driver M1 may consist of a motor, the output shaft of the motor having a first tooth ring G1 and a specific speed ratio with respect to the second tooth ring G2 of the bottom extension portion 24, the first tooth ring G1 having an external tooth structure, and the second tooth ring G2 having an internal tooth structure. However, it should be noted that the bottom extension portion 24, the first tooth ring G1, and the second tooth ring G2 in Figures 1 to 1 are used only as a moving mechanism for the gas induction device 2 to carry out the present invention, and based on the moving mechanism of the gas induction device 2 of the present invention, different arrangements and motion relationships of various members may be included.

[0044] Preferably, the bottom extension 24 has a bottom part 241 and an optional extension 242. The radial length of the bottom part 241 gradually increases from the second bottom end 22b toward the furnace bottom end 1b, and the bottom part 241 has a plurality of bottom walls 24W and a plurality of bottom openings 243 arranged in a cross pattern, each of which has a radial projection 24P, and when the bottom extension 24 rotates, the radial projection 24P agitates the surrounding waste (e.g., ash slag), thereby facilitating the corresponding waste to be guided and discharged from the bottom opening 243 toward the furnace bottom end opening Ob. The extension 242 is connected to the second pipe 22 and the bottom part 241 and has a particularly suitable length, so that the bottom part 241 and the second pipe 22 can be positioned in a suitable location within the furnace body 1.

[0045] Optionally, as shown in Figure 1, the plasma energy equipment of the present invention may also include a stirring device 3. The stirring device 3 includes a stirring member 31 and is installed in the internal processing space S of the furnace body 1, preferably extending axially into the waste accumulation area S1, and the stirring member 31 has a hollow first fluid passage 311 and at least one first transport passage 312, so that gas imported into the first fluid passage 311 can be exported from the at least one first transport passage 312. In one embodiment, the stirring member 31 has a first end 31a and a second end 31b opposite the first end 31a, the first end 31a being close to the furnace body top end 1a and the second end 31b being far from the furnace body top end 1a, and the plurality of transport passages 312 being installed at the second end 31b of the stirring member 31. In particular, the stirring device 3 may also have a second driver M2 that drives the stirring member 31 to rotate. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1 of the present invention, the first end 31a protrudes to the outside of the furnace body top 1a and is linked to the second drive unit M2 which is located to the outside of the furnace body top 1a, thereby rotating the stirring member 31.

[0046] Preferably, the stirring member 31 has at least one stirring section 32 that extends radially outward from the stirring member 31. In particular, if there are multiple stirring sections 32, each stirring section 32 is spaced apart in the axial and / or radial directions. Preferably, each stirring section 32 has at least one hollow second fluid passage 321 and at least one second transport passage 322, and the at least one second fluid passage 321 and the first fluid passage 311 are in communication with each other so that gas flowing into the first fluid passage 311 can flow out into each of the second fluid passages 321, and then each of the second fluid passages 321 flows out again from the corresponding second transport passage 322. In particular, if there are multiple second transport passages 322 of the stirring section 32, the direction of the passages of the multiple second transport passages 322 can be arbitrarily arranged. Preferably, the direction of some of the passages of the multiple second transport passages 322 is directed downward, for example, toward the bottom end 1b of the furnace body. Some of the passage directions of the multiple second transport passages 322 are directed upward, for example, toward the top end 1a of the furnace body.

[0047] With the first fluid passage 311 and the first transport passage 312 of the stirring member 31 described above, it is more preferable to use the second fluid passage 321 and the second transport passage 322 of the stirring section 32 in combination, so that the gas to be discharged is ejected from the first transport passage 312 and the second transport passage 322. In this case, the ejected airflow stirs the surrounding waste in the internal processing space S, thereby dispersing the waste and preventing bridging between the waste materials, and further increasing the oxygen content of the waste. Alternatively, if each of the stirring sections 32 is arranged to extend radially outward from the stirring member 31, when the stirring member 31 rotates in the axial direction, each of the stirring sections 32 can disperse the waste around it and prevent bridging.

[0048] Optionally, as shown in Figures 1 and 6 of the present invention, the plasma energy equipment of the present invention may also include a gas processing system 4, which may have a gas temporary slot 41, a gas-liquid separator 42, a reuse unit 43, and a measurement unit 44. The gas temporary slot 41 is used to capture gas discharged from the furnace body 1, i.e., high-temperature exhaust gas, and in particular, the gas collected by the gas collection passage 11 can flow into the gas temporary slot 41 via a first airway a1. More specifically, the gas temporary slot 41 is a hollow tank body further having a scraper 411 which is rotatably installed inside the gas temporary slot 41. Preferably, the shape of the scraper 411 is formed to match the contour of the inner circumferential wall of the hollow tank body of the gas temporary slot 41, and the scraper 411 is rotated by the third drive M3 to scrape off ash slag or particles in the captured gas from the inner circumferential wall of the gas temporary slot 41.

[0049] The gas-liquid separator 42 is used to capture and contain the gas discharged from the furnace body 1 / gas temporary slot 41, and to contain the waste liquid condensed by the corresponding gas. In particular, the gas discharged from the gas temporary slot 41 can flow into the gas-liquid separator 42 via the second airway a2. More specifically, the gas-liquid separator 42 also has a liquid recovery device 42C, which is located below the gas-liquid separator 42 and is used to capture the aforementioned condensed waste liquid. The aforementioned condensed waste liquid is a by-product liquid containing tar, but is not limited to this.

[0050] The reuse unit 43 and the measurement unit 44 are used to capture gas discharged from the gas-liquid separator 42, and in particular capture gas separated from the waste liquid that condenses after cooling, and the gas can flow to the reuse unit 43 via the third airway a3 and to the measurement unit 44 via the fourth airway a4. In one embodiment, the reuse unit 43 can consist of a gas storage device so that the captured gas is stored / collected, and in particular the captured gas is stored under high pressure. Preferably, the reuse unit 43 can recover synthetic gases including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), etc. The measurement unit 44 may have a gas overfiltration module, and by filtering the captured gas again by the gas overfiltration module and then discharging it into the natural environment, it is possible to confirm that the quality of the discharged gas complies with environmental regulations. The measurement unit 44 can detect the gas to be measured, so it is possible to confirm that the quality of the discharged gas complies with environmental regulations.

[0051] In particular, as shown in Figures 6 to 8 of the present invention, the gas-liquid separator 42 has a liquid-cooled heat sink structure 42S, and a plurality of connecting pipes 42P and at least one liquid passage 42L are arranged in the liquid-cooled heat sink structure 42S, each of which is used for the flow of gas inside the gas-liquid separator 42, the liquid passage 42L surrounds a portion or all of the plurality of connecting pipes 42P, and the liquid passage 42L is used for the inflow of liquid or outflow from the gas-liquid separator 42. In this way, the arrangement of the liquid-cooled heat sink structure 42S allows the relatively low-temperature liquid flowing through the liquid passage 42L to at least partially cover the connecting pipes 42P which have a relatively high-temperature gas, thereby lowering the gas temperature and causing the waste liquid to condense.

[0052] It should be noted that Figure 6 is used to illustrate the arrangement of the related systems applied to the furnace body 1 shown in Figure 1, and the positions of some of the components shown differ slightly from those in Figure 1. However, these differences are based on the relative positions of the respective components and do not affect the realization of the specific technical content of the present invention, and are understandable to anyone with ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs.

[0053] More specifically, the structure 42S of the liquid-cooled heat sink has a top wall 42T and a bottom wall 42B, dividing the inside of the gas-liquid separator 42 into an upper space 42U and a lower space 42D. Furthermore, on the outer circumference corresponding to the communication port 42H through which the third airway a3 and / or the fourth airway a4 communicate with the gas-liquid separator 42 (particularly the upper space 42U), at least one partition wall 42W is extended up to the top wall 42T, and the at least one partition wall 42W and the top wall 42T A single passage space PS is defined between the gas-liquid separators 42, and the passage space PS and the upper space 42U are not directly connected. The gas in the gas-liquid separator 42 flows through the upper space 42U and a portion of the connecting pipe 42P to the lower space 42D, and then flows back to the passage space PS via a connecting pipe 42P that is again connected to the aligned passage space PS, thereby discharging the aforementioned gas to the reuse unit 43 or the measurement unit 44.

[0054] Optionally, as shown again in Figure 6 of the present invention, the plasma energy equipment of the present invention may also include a heat dissipation system 5, which can be used to lower the temperature of the heating module H and can be used to lower the temperature of a hot gas. The heat dissipation system 5 may have a liquid cooling module 51 and optionally an air cooling module 52. The liquid cooling module 51 includes a liquid reservoir 511, a liquid-cooled heat sink section 512, a heat sink 513 and a plurality of liquid conduits PL, which are used to guide the liquid to flow into the corresponding components. The liquid reservoir 511 is used to store a liquid for lowering the temperature. The liquid-cooled heat sink section 512 is positioned on the heating module H, and in particular by being ring-mounted around the heating module H, to absorb the liquid from the liquid reservoir 511 and lower the temperature of the heating module H. It should be noted that although Figure 6 shows two liquid-cooled heat sinks 512, the number of liquid-cooled heat sinks 512 can be set to one or more depending on the actual usage conditions, and the present invention is not limited to the range shown in the figure. The heat sink 513 is used to lower the temperature of the liquid and discharge it back to the liquid storage tank 511, and also captures at least the liquid flowing through the liquid-cooled heat sinks 512.

[0055] Preferably, the liquid flowing through the liquid-cooled heat sink section 512 is again guided from the corresponding liquid conduit PL into the liquid passage 42L within the structure 42S of the liquid-cooled heat sink of the gas-liquid separator 42, thereby allowing the hot gas discharged from the furnace body 1 to be cooled more effectively. Then the liquid is again introduced into the heat sink 513, in which case the plurality of liquid conduits PL are arranged correspondingly between the liquid storage tank 511, the liquid-cooled heat sink section 512, the gas-liquid separator 42 and the heat sink 513. Alternatively, optionally (not shown), the liquid in the containment space 42S can be introduced from the liquid storage tank 511 by other liquid conduits PL.

[0056] Optionally, the air-cooled module 52 includes a gas supply unit 521, an air-cooled heat dissipation unit 522, and a plurality of gas conduits PG, which are used to guide gas into the corresponding components. The gas supply unit 521 is used to supply gas and may consist of, for example, a gas pump or a high-pressure air storage tank, and preferably includes an air filter for filtering the supplied gas. The gas supply unit 521 can supply gas from the corresponding gas conduits PG into the air-cooled heat dissipation unit 522, and can further optionally supply gas from the corresponding gas conduits PG to a plurality of gas inlets 12 and / or the stirring member 31 of the furnace body 1. In this way, the arrangement of the air-cooled heat dissipation unit 522 allows the heating module H to be cooled rapidly. In addition, the arrangement of supplying gas to the furnace body 1 via the gas conduits PG can make preheating of waste awaiting processing in the furnace body 1 easier and more useful. Alternatively, the plasma energy equipment of the present invention can supply the required gas to the furnace body 1 and the stirring member 31 by different gas supply devices. The air-cooled heat dissipation unit 522 is located in the heating module H, and in particular, is arranged in a ring around the heating module H, thereby drawing gas from the gas supply unit 521 and lowering the temperature of the heating module H. It should be noted that although there are two air-cooled heat dissipation units 522 shown in Figure 6, the number of air-cooled heat dissipation units 522 can be set to one or more depending on the actual usage conditions, and the present invention is not limited to the range shown in the figure.

[0057] Based on the arrangement of each component of the plasma energy equipment of the present invention described above, the mode of operation of the plasma energy equipment will be described below. The heating module H is used to heat the waste in the activated carbon slag layer area S2, thereby creating the corresponding activated carbon slag layer in the furnace body 1 in advance. Taking a common method of producing an "activated carbon slag layer" as an example, it can generally be divided into two processes. In the first step, the corresponding organic material is dried at a temperature of 170 to 600°C, completing the carbonization of the organic material by about 80%, thereby achieving the first stage of dehydration and carbonization. In the second step, using a chemical or physical method, the organic material that has undergone the first stage of dehydration and carbonization in the first step is molded into an appropriate shape, put into the furnace body 1 as an activated carbon raw material, and heated at an appropriate temperature and pressure while passing a gas through it, thereby completing the activation of the activated carbon raw material. One of the physical methods of activation described above can be achieved by reacting it with an activator such as steam or charcoal.

[0058] For example, when using the furnace body 1 of the present invention for the first time, agricultural waste, such as rice husks, wood, coconut shells, sawdust, coal, coke, peat, lignin, fruit cores, hard nut shells, sugarcane pulp, bones, lignite, and petroleum residues, preferably coal and coconut shells, is first deposited in the activated carbon slag layer area S2 and the ash slag deposit area S3, the furnace body is made oxygen-free or extremely low-oxygen, the waste in the activated carbon slag layer area S2 and the ash slag deposit area S3 is heated, and when the combustion temperature of the waste in the ash slag deposit area reaches 500-900°C, the corresponding combustion process is executed to form the waste in the activated carbon slag layer area S2 into the activated carbon slag layer of the present invention. After the activated carbon slag layer area S2 is generated, the waste awaiting processing (especially biomass waste) is then introduced into the furnace body 1 and deposited in the waste accumulation area S1 (i.e., located above the activated carbon slag layer area S2). The introduced waste is heated by the high temperature generated from the activated carbon slag layer and further thermally decomposed, generating corresponding pyrolysis gases. Due to the high temperature, the free electrons in these pyrolysis gases are accelerated and collide with neutral particles in the gas, causing the electrons and their nuclei in the neutral particles to separate into free electrons, and the corresponding gases to be ionized. In particular, the ionized gas becomes a plasma, and the high-energy electrons generated by the plasma discharge have relatively high energy, which is sufficient to break or sever chemical bonds at specific local locations of commonly found pollutant molecules. The gases generated by these heat treatments undergo an initial filtration stage via the corresponding activated carbon slag layer, then undergo complex chemical reactions with elements generated by the decomposition of the activated carbon slag layer, and are then guided again into the gas collection passage 11 and the gas treatment system 4 by the gas induction device 2. In this way, harmful substances in the high-temperature exhaust gas can be prevented from damaging the furnace body 1, thereby extending the lifespan of the furnace body 1.

[0059] It should be noted that the transmission of liquids and gases between their respective components in this invention can be achieved by installing corresponding piping, pumping devices, and control valves, and this is understandable to those with ordinary skill in the art of this invention, therefore it will not be explained in detail.

[0060] In summary, the plasma energy equipment of the present invention, with its gas induction device having a hollow first tube, a hollow second tube, and multiple through holes, can effectively guide gas from inside the furnace to the gas collection passage, thus aiding in gas induction and discharge. Furthermore, the first and second tubes each have a first ratchet tooth and a second ratchet tooth, respectively. By rotating or jumping the first tube, the surrounding waste can be agitated, allowing gas from the internal processing space to easily flow into the gas induction device. Additionally, the protrusion of the second tube extends axially from the first tube, and the protrusion in particular has a gradually expanding contour, allowing gas to flow more easily into the gas collection passage. Moreover, the arrangement of the first tube with an axial column, or the radial length of the enlarged portion being longer than the radial length of the axial hole, ensures a stable connection between the first and second tubes during the movement of the first tube relative to the second tube, and in particular, ensures a stable connection between the first and second ratchet teeth.

[0061] Although the present invention has already been presented using comparable examples described above, it is not limited to the present invention. As long as any person familiar with this art does not deviate from the spirit and scope of the invention, any kind of change or modification corresponding to the above-described examples will still fall within the scope of the art protected by the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should naturally include changes within the meaning and equivalent scope described in the appended claims. Furthermore, if combinations of the above-described examples are possible, the present invention includes embodiments in any combination.
