All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Usually only one or a few graphite rod electrodes can be installed at a time as consumable graphite rod electrodes. During the operation, carbon dust containing fullerene is synthesized, and since the synthesis furnace (gasification furnace) is sealed, the carbon dust adheres to the inner wall of the synthesis furnace, the surface of the insulating member, and the like. As graphite is a conductive material, carbon powder attached to each part in the synthetic furnace is continuously increased along with the continuous increase of carbon ash, and the carbon powder attached to the surface of an insulating part (an insulating sleeve) is also continuously increased, so that the insulation failure is caused, and the equipment cannot normally run. Because the efficiency of preparing fullerene by an electric arc method is low, only one or a plurality of graphite rods can be consumed each time, the quantity of generated carbon powder is not large, the insulation failure time can be properly slowed down by increasing the surface area of an insulating part, increasing the isolation of labyrinth insulation and the like, but the insulation failure condition can occur after the quantity of the carbon powder is increased. When the insulation fails, the synthesis furnace needs to be disassembled, the insulation part and the synthesis furnace inside are cleaned, and after the cleaning is finished, the synthesis furnace is sealed again, vacuumized, filled with inert gas and the like, and then normal synthesis work can be carried out. The process can be carried out only after the temperature in the synthesis furnace reaches the room temperature, so that a large amount of time is wasted, the production efficiency is reduced, and the production cost is increased.

The diffusion cooling bin consists of a lower conical section of the diffusion cooling bin and an upper section of the diffusion cooling bin, and the middle of the diffusion cooling bin is connected through a flange. The diffusion cooling bin lower cone section and the diffusion cooling bin upper section are of double-layer structures, and a plurality of cooling water inlets and cooling water outlets are formed in the diffusion cooling bin lower cone section and the diffusion cooling bin upper section and used for introducing cooling water into the interlayer. The lower conical section of the diffusion cooling bin is connected with a vacuum valve so as to be connected with equipment such as a vacuum pump. The top flange of the upper section of the diffusion cooling bin is connected with the gasification gasifier, so that the gasification gasifier and the diffusion cooling bin are integrated. The gasification furnace has a double-layer structure and is provided with a plurality of cooling water inlets and outlets (not shown in the figure) for introducing cooling water into the interlayer.

The gasifier is provided with carbon-point guide structure and is used for installing the graphite rod. The gasification furnace is provided with an observation window for observing the synthesis condition in the gasification furnace. Vacuum pressure detection ports are arranged on the gasification furnace and the diffusion cooling bin (the diffusion bin 16) and are respectively used for connecting a pressure sensor of the diffusion cooling bin and a pressure sensor of the gasification furnace. The lower end equipment of the gasification furnace is provided with a reducing air pumping block which is fixed on the gasification furnace through a reducing block gland. The reducing air extraction block is provided with a small hole with the diameter of d, and the gasification furnace and the diffusion cooling bin are separated into two spaces through the reducing air extraction block. The space volume of the gasification furnace is relatively small, and the sum of the internal space volume of the diffusion cooling bin (diffusion bin 16) and the internal space of other accessory equipment is about 100 times of the internal space of the gasification furnace.

When the equipment is operated, the graphite rods are gasified by the electric arc generating device in the gasification furnace to synthesize carbon dust containing fullerene, and the carbon dust enters the diffusion cooling bin through the small holes arranged on the reducing air extraction block to be cooled. Because the space of the gasification furnace is smaller than the volume in the diffusion cooling bin, the data detected by the pressure sensor of the diffusion cooling bin and the pressure sensor of the gasification furnace shows that the pressure in the gasification furnace is higher than the pressure in the diffusion cooling bin, so that the airflow containing carbon powder in the gasification furnace can quickly enter the diffusion cooling bin. The diffusion cooling bin is isolated from the gasification furnace through the reducing air pumping block, and a high-temperature region taking the electric arc as the center cannot enter the diffusion cooling bin, so that the cooling effect in the diffusion cooling bin is ensured. The interior of the diffusion cooling bin is in a vacuum state, and the pressure is lower than the pressure in the gasification furnace. After the gas containing the carbon dust enters the diffusion cooling bin, the gas can be rapidly diffused for cooling. This provides an effect of accelerating the rapid exit of the toner and rapid cooling, thereby better preserving the fullerene after the formation. The diameter of the middle hole of the variable diameter air extraction block is increased by adjusting the pressure in the gasification furnace and the pressure in the diffusion cooling bin, so that the resistance of the middle hole to the carbon powder is reduced while the pressure difference of two spaces exists. Wherein, the diameter of the middle hole of the reducing air extraction block 5 is more than 5mm.

And closing the vacuum valve B, filling inert gas into the buffer storage tank to normal pressure through an inert gas inlet arranged on the buffer storage tank, detaching the joint between the buffer storage tank and the vacuum valve B after the carbon ash in the buffer storage tank is stable for a period of time, connecting the carbon powder storage tank with the vacuum valve B, and enabling the vacuum valve B to be in a closed state. In the process of disassembly, a dust suction device needs to be installed to quickly suck away carbon powder floating out of the pipeline, so that the injury to personnel is prevented. Keeping the vacuum state in the carbon powder storage tank, and transporting away the carbon powder storage tank filled with the carbon powder and the vacuum valve B in a closed state. Therefore, the negative pressure transfer of the collected carbon powder is realized, and the carbon powder is prevented from flying out to cause harm to human bodies and the environment while the carbon powder is prevented from contacting with air. When the carbon powder is transferred, a carbon powder storage tank without carbon powder and a vacuum valve B are arranged.
