Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of large boiler equipment technology, specifically to a novel water seal mechanical seal structure for the boiler furnace bottom. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional thermal power plant ash removal systems employ wet ash removal machines, with ash wells positioned above the machines. These wells are sealed to the boiler bottom using water-sealed baffles. As ash accumulates in the water-sealed trough, its height gradually increases, with measurements showing an average depth of 400-500 mm. This causes the inner and outer baffles of the water-sealed trough to deform and tilt, leading to leakage and affecting the boiler bottom seal, thus reducing boiler efficiency. More seriously, the continuous accumulation of ash in the water-sealed trough directly impacts the longitudinal expansion of the boiler's water-cooled walls, threatening the safe operation of the boiler. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a novel water seal mechanical seal structure for the boiler furnace bottom. The purpose is to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art, which is that ash accumulation in the water seal groove causes the inner and outer baffles of the water seal groove to be squeezed, deformed, and tilted, and even affects the longitudinal expansion of the boiler body's water-cooled wall.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a novel water-sealed mechanical seal structure for boiler bottom, comprising a water-cooled wall, a slag curtain at the lower part of the water-cooled wall, a mechanical seal mechanism on one side of the slag curtain, a water seal groove modified base on the bottom surface of the mechanical seal mechanism, a buffer layer on one side of the water seal groove modified base, and both the water seal groove modified base and the buffer layer being located above the slag well.

[0005] Furthermore, the distance between the top surface of the modified base of the water seal trough and the bottom surface of the water-cooled wall is not less than 1200mm.

[0006] Furthermore, the slag baffle includes a baffle fixing plate, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the water-cooled wall. The lower part of the baffle fixing plate is provided with multiple movable hanging rings, the lower parts of which are all located at the upper end of the first baffle plate. The lower end of the first baffle plate is provided with multiple baffle hanging rings, the lower parts of which are all located at the upper end of the second baffle plate, the lower end of which are provided at the lower end of the second baffle plate, and the lower ends of which are all located at the upper end of the third baffle plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a first auxiliary baffle is provided on one side of the lower end of the curtain fixing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a second auxiliary baffle is provided on the lower side of both the first baffle and the second baffle.

[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the third curtain panel is provided with an inclined baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, the mechanical seal mechanism includes an upper sealing plate, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the water-cooled wall. The upper part of the upper sealing plate is provided with multiple elastic support units, the lower ends of which are all located at the lower part of the lower sealing plate. The lower end of the lower sealing plate is located at the top surface of the modified water seal groove base. One side of each of the multiple elastic support units is provided with a sealing heat insulation heat pipe. The upper end of the upper sealing plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sealing heat insulation outer sealing plate, and the lower end of the sealing heat insulation outer sealing plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lower sealing plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic support unit includes an outer spring sheet, and an inner spring sheet is provided on the inner side of the outer spring sheet. The upper ends of the outer spring sheet and the inner spring sheet are both fixedly connected to the upper part of the upper sealing plate by rivets, and the lower ends of the outer spring sheet and the inner spring sheet are both fixedly connected to the lower part of the lower sealing plate by rivets.

[0012] Furthermore, the modified base of the water seal trough includes a channel steel, the bottom surface of which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the slag well. One side of the channel steel is provided with the original water seal trough shell, the upper end of which is provided with an I-beam, and one side of which is provided with an F-shaped support block. The lower end of the F-shaped support block is located inside the channel steel.

[0013] Furthermore, the buffer layer is made of rubber.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] The new boiler bottom water seal mechanical seal technology eliminates the need for the original sealing water system, saving a significant amount of fresh water. It also solves the problem of bottom sealing, which reduces boiler efficiency and eliminates the persistent issue of ash and water leakage causing equipment contamination due to deformation of the inner and outer protective plates. Furthermore, it completely eradicates the problem of limited longitudinal expansion of the boiler body's water-cooled walls. This approach saves fresh water, improves boiler efficiency, and ensures safe boiler operation. Attached Figure Description
