The invention aims at solving defects such as low light oil yield, high foam layer, and high coke yield of prior arts, and discloses a delayed coking method. The method is characterized in that: a mixed raw material is heated in a heating furnace; the heated hot material flow enters a primary hydrocyclone, such that a gas phase (1) and a mixed liquid phase (1) are obtained; the gas phase (1) is quenched and is delivered into a fractionation column; high-temperature steam is injected into the mixed liquid phase (1), and the mixture is delivered into a secondary hydrocyclone; the secondary hydrocyclone separates the mixed liquid phase (1) into a gas phase (2) and a mixed liquid phase (2). The gas phase (2) is delivered into a fractionation column; high-temperature steam is injected into the mixed liquid phase (2), and the mixture is delivered into a coke column; coke is discharged from the bottom of the coke column, and reaction oil gas is delivered into the fractionation column.
