Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pulverized coal production technology, specifically a drying device for pulverized coal production. Background Technology

[0002] Pulverized coal refers to coal with a particle size of less than 6mm, and it has been widely used in many industries such as metallurgy, mining, construction, and energy.

[0003] In existing technologies, the production of pulverized coal typically requires the use of coal mills, hot air furnaces, and baghouse dust collectors. After obtaining the pulverized coal, it needs to be dried, a step usually completed before the final pulverized coal is stored in the silo. Due to the inherent properties of pulverized coal, its production has strict requirements regarding moisture content and particle size. Therefore, drying equipment needs to be maintained for multiple processes before the pulverized coal is stored in the silo to ensure better drying efficiency and finished product quality.

[0004] However, this would require more energy to generate heat, which would not only significantly increase production costs but also be environmentally unfriendly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a drying apparatus for pulverized coal production, which solves the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the air outlet is connected to a circulating fan, and the air outlet of the circulating fan is connected to the screening device and the air inlet of the hot air furnace.

[0015] The technical effects of the above improvements are as follows: by setting up the circulating fan and its connecting structure, the cyclone dust collector, screening device and hot air furnace of this device can achieve air circulation, enabling the screening device and hot air furnace to reuse the exhaust gas and repeatedly filter out pulverized coal from the exhaust gas, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above scheme, the fine material outlet of the screening device is connected to the coal powder silo, and the coarse material outlet of the screening device is connected to the feed inlet of the coal mill.

[0017] The above-mentioned technical improvement has the following effect: by setting the connection structure of the screening device, the pulverized coal production line used in this drying device can further improve the production efficiency of pulverized coal.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above solution, the spiral plate is provided with spaced discharge holes.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution, the technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the specific structure of this embodiment is as follows: a drying device for pulverized coal production includes a heat exchanger 7, which is connected to a hot air furnace 6 and a cyclone dust collector 8. The heat exchanger 7 includes a front end plate 71 and a rear end plate 72, with a heat-conducting plate 73 disposed between the front end plate 71 and the rear end plate 72. A hot fluid inlet 74, a cold fluid inlet 75, a cold fluid outlet 76, and a hot fluid outlet 77 are disposed on the end face of the front end plate 71. The hot air furnace 6 includes a furnace body 61, with a pipe 62 spirally disposed inside the furnace body 61. The pipe 62 is connected to the cold fluid through a first liquid inlet 63. The outlet 76 is connected, and the pipe 62 is connected to the hot fluid inlet 74 through the first liquid outlet 64; the cyclone dust collector 8 includes a shell 81, and a flow channel 87 is spirally arranged inside the shell 81. The flow channel 87 is connected to the hot fluid outlet 77 through the second liquid inlet 84, and the flow channel 87 is connected to the cold fluid inlet 75 through the second liquid outlet 85. In this embodiment, the fluid is a heat transfer fluid, specifically heat transfer oil. The heat transfer fluid is driven to flow by an external circulation pump in the connecting pipe; an inner shell 810 is detachably installed inside the shell 81, and a spiral plate 88 is arranged on the lower part of the inner wall of the inner shell 810.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the upper side of the outer casing 81 is provided with an air inlet 82 communicating with the interior of the outer casing 81, the bottom of the outer casing 81 is provided with a material discharge port 86, and the top center of the outer casing 81 is provided with an air outlet 83 extending into the interior of the outer casing 81. The arrangement of the air inlet 82, material discharge port 86, and air outlet 83 facilitates the installation and connection of the cyclone dust collector 8 of this device to the pulverized coal production line. The device also includes a raw material silo 1, which is connected to a coal mill 2. The coal mill 2 is connected to a screening device 3, the screening device 3 is connected to a coal powder silo 4, the coal powder silo 4 is connected to a buffer tank 5, the buffer tank 5 is connected to the feed end of a hot air furnace 6, the hot air furnace 6 is connected to the cyclone dust collector 8, and the cyclone dust collector 8 is connected to a pulverized coal silo 10. The arrangement of the raw material silo 1, coal mill 2, screening device 3, and coal powder silo 4 ensures that the pulverized coal production line, in conjunction with the drying device, can function fully, making the production and drying workflow more efficient. Air outlet 83 is connected to circulating fan 9, and the air outlet of circulating fan 9 is connected to the air inlet of screening device 3 and hot air furnace 6. Through the arrangement of circulating fan 9 and its connecting structure, the cyclone dust collector 8, screening device 3, and hot air furnace 6 of this device can achieve air circulation, allowing screening device 3 and hot air furnace 6 to reuse exhaust gas and repeatedly filter pulverized coal from the exhaust gas, thus improving production efficiency. The fine material outlet of screening device 3 is connected to coal powder bin 4, and the coarse material outlet of screening device 3 is connected to the feed inlet of coal mill 2. Through the connection structure of screening device 3, the pulverized coal production line used in this drying device can further improve the production efficiency of pulverized coal.

[0034] Example 3:

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the spiral plate 88 is provided with spaced-apart discharge holes 89. The discharge holes 89 further prevent pulverized coal from accumulating on the spiral plate 88, improving the discharge efficiency of the cyclone dust collector 8. The upper end of the inner shell 810 is positioned and connected to the upper end of the outer shell 81 via spaced-apart positioning posts 811. The positioning posts 811 ensure that the inner shell 810 is securely installed within the outer shell 81, preventing it from being rotated by wind.

[0036] Example 4:

[0037] The specific working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0038] When using this device, it needs to be adapted and installed in the pulverized coal production line. The heat exchanger 7 is connected to the hot air furnace 6 and the cyclone dust collector 8. Then the production line is started, and combustion and heat release begin in the furnace body 61. The heat is conducted to the heat exchanger 7 through the first liquid outlet 64 to exchange heat sources. The hot fluid outlet 77 in the heat exchanger 7 introduces the hot fluid into the cyclone dust collector 8 through the second liquid inlet 84. That is, the waste heat produced by the hot air furnace 6 is used to heat the cyclone dust collector 8 and dry the pulverized coal in the cyclone dust collector 8. After air enters from the hot blast stove 6 through the air inlet 82, centrifugal force is used to separate the pulverized coal particles in the flue gas. The separated pulverized coal adheres tightly to the inner wall of the inner shell 810 until it is caught by the spiral plate 88 during its fall. Then, it is continuously blown by the air in the cyclone dust collector 8, rotates around the spiral plate 88, and finally falls out from the discharge port 86. Compared with falling directly from the cyclone dust collector 8, the discharge time is extended, but it does not affect the movement of the pulverized coal in the cyclone dust collector 8. At the same time, the discharge holes 89 on the spiral plate 88 will not cause accumulation, thus extending the heating and drying time of the pulverized coal in the cyclone dust collector 8 after separation. Throughout the entire process described above, the device utilizes the combined action of the hot air furnace 6, heat exchanger 7, and cyclone dust collector 8 to heat and dry the cyclone dust collector 8 using the waste heat generated by the hot air furnace 6. This saves energy, reduces power consumption and production costs, and is more environmentally friendly. At the same time, the spiral plates 88 installed inside the cyclone dust collector 8 catch the pulverized coal particles, extending their heating time within the cyclone dust collector 8 and further improving the drying effect of the device.
