Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of high-temperature reheaters, specifically relating to a device for preventing the tube bank of a high-temperature reheater from swaying. Background Technology

[0002] High-temperature reheaters are important heat exchange equipment in power plant boilers. They absorb the waste heat generated by combustion through convection heat transfer, further increasing the temperature of the medium inside the tubes and increasing the medium's work capacity, thereby improving system thermal efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering production costs.

[0003] Currently, due to a leak in the high-temperature reheater, the reheater is being inspected. The leak location has not been thinned by other leak points, and there is no obvious oxide scale or corrosion on the surface. It exhibits relatively obvious brittle cracking characteristics. Upon further inspection, it was found that there are obvious mechanical scratches, abrasions, and pits on the tube surface along the crack direction. The cause of these defects is that there was an installation deviation when the high-temperature reheater was installed through the roof superheater. This resulted in the need to cut the roof superheater fins when the high-temperature reheater passed through the roof superheater. Due to the residue of the cut fins, and the fact that some fins have sharp corners, the expansion and shaking of the tube bank during unit start-up, shutdown, and operation caused mechanical wear and scratches on the high-temperature reheater.

[0004] In existing high-temperature reheaters, the tubes are connected by sliding clamps, and there are no tube-panel fixing devices between the tube panels. During operation, the tube panels sway due to external flue gas scouring and internal steam disturbance, leading to deformation. In severe cases, this can cause the high-temperature reheater tubes to rub against the roof tubes. If not detected in time, this can easily lead to tube rupture accidents, forcing the unit to shut down. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device to prevent the swaying of the high-temperature reheater tubes in power plant boilers. To solve this major hidden danger, technicians installed a device to prevent the swaying of the high-temperature reheater tubes on the leeward side of the high-temperature reheater. After adding this device, the swaying of the high-temperature reheater tubes is avoided, the rubbing against the roof tubes is reduced, and the damage to the heating surface caused by the swaying of the high-temperature reheater tubes is eliminated.

[0005] Existing technologies disclose several patents regarding devices to prevent swaying of high-temperature reheater tube banks. Among them, utility model patent CN208170361U discloses a support and hanger device suitable for boiler high-temperature reheaters. This patent includes a vertical support pipe clamp and multiple horizontal support plates. The support pipe clamp is connected to the high-temperature reheater tube bank without welding. The support pipe clamp has evenly spaced holes along its height to serve as mounting holes for the support plates. Each support plate is inserted into the gap between adjacent tubes in the high-temperature reheater tube bank and abuts against the tube above it to support the weight of the tube above it. This device provides reasonable force distribution and is effective in eliminating stress concentration. However, the connection method between the support plates and the support lugs is not stable and reliable enough. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the problems of existing pipe-pile fixing devices being complex in structure, costly in manufacturing and installation, and affecting the arrangement or structure of the pipe pile after installation, failing to effectively limit the forward and backward displacement of the pipe pile, and unable to completely prevent pipe pile swaying, this utility model provides a device to prevent swaying of high-temperature reheater pipe piles. The device includes a rectangular upper support plate and a lower support plate arranged relatively parallel to each other. The upper and lower support plates are fixedly connected by two adjusting rods. Several supporting members are provided on the long edges of the upper and lower support plates away from the reheater tubes. One end of each adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the lower support plate, and the two adjusting rods are respectively installed on the short edge of the lower support plate. Adjusting holes are provided on the upper support plate corresponding to the adjusting rods. The free end of each adjusting rod passes through the adjusting hole and is connected to the upper support plate through a connector. Several mounting seats are equidistantly provided on the upper and lower support plates corresponding to the outermost tubes of the reheater pipe pile, and fixing members are fixedly connected to the sides of each mounting seat.

[0007] By using clamping components on the outer sides of the upper and lower support plates, the device installed on the reheater tube bank can be reinforced to improve its stability and ensure its stability and reliability. At the same time, the connections between the adjusting rod and the telescopic rod and the upper and lower support plates are all rotatable. In use, tilting the adjusting rod and the telescopic rod in the same direction causes the fixing components on the upper and lower support plates to be misaligned and fix the reheater tube bank, making the device more firmly fixed to the reheater tube bank.

[0008] Furthermore, the supporting component includes several connecting rods and U-shaped fixing clips fixed to both ends of the connecting rods. The connecting rods are fixedly connected to the outer side of the closed end of the U-shaped fixing clips. The opening height of the U-shaped fixing clips matches the thickness of the corresponding upper support plate or lower support plate, and the two U-shaped fixing clips are arranged in parallel.

[0009] Through the above technical solution, clamping rods that can be used to fix the upper and lower support plates are set on the same side of the upper support plate and the lower support plate opposite to the outermost tube of the reheater tube bank. The clamping rods of the upper and lower support plates are reinforced by connecting rods and U-shaped fixing clips at both ends, thereby increasing their rigidity.

[0010] Furthermore, the connector includes a fixed shaft mounted inside the adjustment hole, the fixed shaft being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment hole, a connecting block being sleeved in the middle of the fixed shaft, and a through hole being vertically opened in the middle of the connecting block corresponding to the adjustment rod, the adjustment rod passing through the through hole and connecting to the upper support plate.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, a fixed shaft is installed on the inner wall of the adjusting hole, a connecting block is sleeved in the middle of the fixed shaft, and a through hole is vertically opened in the connecting block. The through hole passes through the fixed shaft, and the adjusting rod passes through the through hole and is threadedly connected to it. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the upper support plate and the lower support plate, and adjustment of the degree of misalignment between the upper and lower support plates.

[0012] Furthermore, several telescopic rods are provided in the middle of the opposite sides of the upper support plate and the lower support plate, and both ends of the telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the upper support plate and the lower support plate respectively through rotating blocks.

[0013] The above technical solution increases the rigidity of the device by installing telescopic rods on the upper and lower support plates. A rotating block is connected to the connecting section of the telescopic rod, and the rotating block is fixedly connected to the upper or lower support plate, which facilitates the misalignment and fixation of the upper and lower support plates.

[0014] Furthermore, the rotating block includes a base plate that is fixedly connected to the upper support plate or the lower support plate respectively. Two fixed seats are symmetrically arranged on the side of the base plate away from the upper support plate or the lower support plate. A rotating rod is mounted on the fixed seat. Both ends of the rotating rod are rotatably connected to the fixed seat. Both ends of the telescopic rod are correspondingly sleeved on the middle part of the rotating rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate. The opposite sides of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are corresponding arc grooves. The outer middle part of the arc groove of the first clamping plate is fixedly connected to the mounting base. Both ends of the second clamping plate are fixedly connected to the first clamping plate by fixing bolts.

[0016] Furthermore, both the second clamping plate and the first clamping plate have fixing plates extending outward from their two free ends. Each fixing plate has a threaded hole that matches the fixing bolt.

[0017] Furthermore, the connecting rod includes a sleeve and an inner rod. The sleeve is fitted onto the outside of the inner rod, and the outside of the sleeve is provided with several fixing screw holes. An adjusting screw is provided to match the fixing screw holes and abuts against the inner rod.

[0018] Furthermore, the adjusting rod is threadedly connected to the through hole, and a limit nut is provided at the free end of the adjusting rod near the upper support plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the maximum length of the telescopic rod is less than the width of the three reheater tubes.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, alloy materials can be used in the production of this device, giving it good high-temperature resistance and making it suitable for the working environment of high-temperature reheaters.

[0021] The beneficial effects of adopting the technical solution of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] (1) This fixing device is simple and effective. After installation, it will not affect the arrangement or structure of the pipe bank. It can ensure the normal function of the pipe bank and effectively limit the front and rear displacement of the pipe bank, thus fundamentally avoiding the problem of pipe bank shaking.
