Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of waste gas treatment technology, specifically to a regenerative thermal ignition furnace and a dust collection device. Background Technology

[0002] Regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs) are one of the mainstream technologies for treating VOCs. This technology involves feeding VOC-containing organic waste gas into the incinerator furnace, where it is burned at a high temperature of nearly 800°C, decomposing the organic components into harmless carbon dioxide and water. The furnace of a RTO is equipped with a heat storage medium, such as a ceramic heat storage medium, to preheat the waste gas.

[0003] However, VOCs waste gas, after being burned at high temperatures in the furnace of a regenerative thermal oxidizer, produces particulate dust, such as SiO2. After a period of exposure to high temperatures, this dust easily solidifies with the ceramic heat exchanger. While compressed air purging or water spraying are commonly used for cleaning, the treatment effect is not significant. If the cleaning effect is insufficient to maintain the preheating function, the unblocked ceramic heat exchanger must be replaced, increasing operating costs. Correspondingly, cleaning or replacement requires equipment shutdown for maintenance, which not only disrupts normal production and prevents waste gas treatment, causing air pollution, but also wastes a significant amount of energy during equipment shutdown for cooling and subsequent heating. Furthermore, replacing the ceramic heat exchanger is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0054] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the regenerative incinerator provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0056] The regenerative thermal oxidizer in this embodiment includes a furnace body 1, the interior of which is a chamber 1a, i.e., the furnace chamber. A heat storage element 2 is installed in chamber 1a. The heat storage element 2 can be a ceramic heat storage element with a honeycomb structure, enabling heat recycling. After the waste gas (hereinafter referred to as flue gas) enters chamber 1a, the heat storage element 2 can preheat the waste gas (below 100°C) to 600-800°C, thereby saving a large amount of thermal energy required for combustion within the furnace body 1. Here, the flue gas mainly refers to VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). High-temperature combustion within the furnace body 1 decomposes the organic components in the flue gas into harmless carbon dioxide and water. In this embodiment, the VOCs flue gas also includes organosilicon, which produces particulate matter, i.e., particulate dust, such as SiO2, after high-temperature combustion. Of course, if the VOCs flue gas includes other components, particulate matter may also be produced during combustion, subsequently generating dust (or defined as ash).

[0057] Figure 1 In the furnace body 1, three heat storage bodies 2 are arranged in chamber 1a. Figure 1 The components are distributed from left to right. The inner walls of chamber 1a are equipped with an insulation layer; the walls can be constructed from welded steel plates and profiles. Figure 1In addition to the outer walls, there are also walls between the outer walls for separation from the outside. The inner side of these walls is also covered with an insulation layer 5. Thus, the insulation layer 5 and the corresponding walls divide the lower part of chamber 1a into three sub-cavities. Each sub-cavity contains a heat storage body 2, which fills the sub-cavity. The heat storage body 2 can be a separate or integral structure; this embodiment does not impose any restrictions. The insulation layer 5 is not arranged along the entire height of chamber 1a; the space above the insulation layer 5 in chamber 1a remains interconnected. Therefore, chamber 1a is roughly M-shaped, and the flue gas mainly burns in the upper space of chamber 1a. Figure 1 An ignition device (shown as a flame) is provided at the top of the middle part of chamber 1a to maintain the high temperature of the combustion chamber for burning flue gas. Each sub-chamber has a vent at the bottom, through which the flue gas can enter chamber 1a or the airflow in chamber 1a can flow out through the vent.

[0058] In this embodiment, a dust collection device 3 is also provided in the chamber 1a of the furnace body 1. The dust collection device 3 includes a dust collection section 31 and a dust suction section 32. The dust collection section 31 has an inlet for the flue gas to enter, and the dust in the airflow in the chamber 1a (such as SiO2 generated after combustion) can be collected in the dust collection section 31. The dust suction section 32 is connected to the dust collection section 31 and is used to suck up the dust collected by the dust collection section 31.

[0059] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the central dust collection section 31 and the dust suction section 32 from a top-down perspective.

[0060] In this embodiment, the dust collection section 31 specifically includes two dust collection plates 311 arranged at an angle, roughly in a V-shape. When the two dust collection plates 311 are combined, the ends farther apart form a flared end 3a, and the ends closer together form a constricted end 3b. The flared end 3a is the inlet of the dust collection section 31, and the constricted end 3b is the outlet. The flue gas entering the chamber 1a can enter between the two dust collection plates 311 from the inlet, and the direction of the airflow is... Figure 2 The direction indicated by the black arrow. The dust collection section 31 may also include more plate structures, such as the two dust collection plates 311, whose sides may also be covered by plate structures.

[0061] The opposing surfaces of the two dust collection plates 311 form a dust collection surface. Particulate dust generated during the combustion of flue gas in chamber 1a, as well as particulate dust that may be present in the flue gas before entering chamber 1a, can collide with the dust collection surface of the dust collection plates 311, thereby collecting the dust. It should be noted that the flue gas can also be filtered before entering chamber 1a, but dust may still inevitably remain in the flue gas. The dust collection device 3 in this embodiment can further collect this dust. Of course, in this embodiment, the main focus is on collecting the dust generated inside chamber 1a during the high-temperature combustion of the flue gas.

[0062] To further improve dust collection efficiency, multiple hanging plates 312 can be installed on the dust collection surface of the dust collection plate 311. The extending direction of the hanging plates 312 can be perpendicular to the airflow direction, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the hanging plate 312 can also have an angle greater than zero with the airflow direction. In this way, the airflow can collide with the hanging plate 312, which can enhance the collision of particles in the airflow in the dust collection section 31, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency and preventing particles in the airflow from escaping out of the dust collection section 31 after entering the dust collection section 31 due to eddies and other effects.

[0063] At this time, the constricted end 3b formed by the two dust collection plates 311 serves as the outlet. The constricted end 3b can be directly connected to the suction unit 32. The suction unit 32 can generate negative pressure to perform suction function. Specifically, the suction unit 32 can be connected to... Figure 1 The induced draft fan 8, located outside the furnace body 1, is connected via pipelines, thereby generating negative pressure in the dust collection section 32. Under the action of negative pressure, the dust collected by the two dust collection plates 311 and the dust-laden airflow entering between the two dust collection plates 311 can be sucked into the dust collection section 32. Figure 2 The dust suction section 32 shown in the diagram is specifically a dust suction pipe, and the constricted end 3b of the dust collection section 31 is directly connected to the dust suction pipe.

[0064] Therefore, the regenerative incinerator in this embodiment is equipped with a dust collection device 3 in the chamber 1a, which can collect the dust formed by the combustion of flue gas in the furnace body in a timely manner, so as to facilitate the unobstructed flow of the heat storage body 2, thereby reducing or avoiding downtime and energy loss caused by equipment shutdown and maintenance.

[0065] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3-5 understand, Figure 3 For airflow in Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the first flow direction inside the furnace body 1; Figure 4 For airflow in Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the second flow direction within the central furnace body 1; Figure 5 For airflow in Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the third flow direction within the furnace body 1.

[0066] The bottom of the furnace body 1 is provided with vents. Flue gas can flow in through these vents or exit after combustion. The number of vents is the same as the number of chambers divided by chamber 1a, corresponding to... Figure 1 The three chambers Figure 1 Correspondingly, three vents (not shown in the diagram) will be provided for each compartment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the furnace body 1 is also provided with a flue 10 for the flow of flue gas. The flue 10 is also equipped with three first control valves 11 connected to each air inlet. The first control valve 11 is specifically a push valve. Each first control valve 11 can control the flow of flue gas into the corresponding compartment or out of the compartment. That is, the flow direction of the airflow in the furnace body 1 is not fixed, but is generally set to change, such as periodic change. This is conducive to the full and uniform combustion of flue gas.

[0067] Figure 3-5 The diagram illustrates three flow directions: one vent in a compartment is used for flue gas to enter, another vent in a compartment is used for flue gas to exit, and a third vent in a compartment is used to purge the VOC-containing flue gas that flowed in from the previous cycle, thus cleaning the compartment and preparing for the exit of clean flue gas in the next cycle. Figure 3 In the middle, the left chamber receives flue gas, the middle chamber discharges flue gas, and the right chamber purges flue gas. The airflow direction in the upper part of chamber 1a is mainly from left to right. Figure 4 In the middle, the left chamber is used to purge the flue gas, the middle chamber is used to enter the flue gas, and the right chamber is used to exit the flue gas. The airflow direction in the upper part of chamber 1a is from the middle to the left and right sides respectively. Figure 5 In the middle chamber 1a, flue gas flows out from the left side chamber, is purged from the middle chamber, and flows into the right side chamber. The airflow direction in the upper part of chamber 1a is from right to left. That is, the airflow direction in chamber 1a of furnace body 1 will change.

[0068] It is understood that three chambers are for illustration purposes, and there can be other numbers of chambers, such as four chambers, two for air intake, one for air outlet, and one for air blowing, or one for air intake, two for air outlet, and one for air blowing, etc. This embodiment will not list them all. Here, we mainly explain that the airflow direction in chamber 1a can change according to the selection of the working mode based on the specific structure of the regenerative thermal incinerator. Of course, the air intake, air outlet, and air blowing of the regenerative thermal incinerator can also be fixed and the airflow direction does not change.

[0069] In response to potential changes in airflow, this embodiment includes a dust collection unit 31 that can rotate around a pivot axis. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the rotation process of the intermediate dust collection unit 31.

[0070] In this embodiment, the dust collection section 31 can rotate around the rotating shaft, that is, the dust collection section 31 is rotatably arranged relative to the furnace body 1. When the airflow flows through the dust collection section 31, under the action of the airflow, the dust collection section 31 can rotate so that the inlet faces the airflow, that is, to ensure that the inlet can always meet the airflow so that the airflow enters the dust collection section 31 to collect dust.

[0071] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the axis X of the dust collection section 31 is vertically set and perpendicular to the direction from the flared end 3a to the constricted end 3b, that is, the axis X is parallel to the length direction of the dust collection plate 311, which makes it easier to realize the rotation of the dust collection section 31 to face the airflow.

[0072] Please continue reading Figure 6 Assuming that the dust collection section 31 is in position A when it is not subjected to external force, with its constricted end 3b facing down and its flared end 3a, which serves as the inlet, facing up.

[0073] The axis X of the rotating shaft passes through the flared end 3a. Two dust collection plates 311 are symmetrically arranged, with their center lines perpendicular to and intersecting the axis X, extending along the direction from the flared end 3a to the constricted end 3b. When the airflow flows from left to right, it pushes the portion of the dust collection section 31 above and below the axis X. The length of the portion of the dust collection section 31 below the axis X is greater than its length above the axis X. When the axis X is located at or above the flared end 3a (along the direction from the constricted end 3b to the flared end 3a, away from the flared end 3a), the portion above the axis X is zero or negligible. Due to the significant difference in lever arms, the torque generated by the force F exerted by the airflow on the portion below the axis X is greater than the torque on the portion above the axis X. Therefore, the dust collection section 31 will rotate counterclockwise, gradually reaching positions B and C, until the inlet faces left and directly towards the airflow, reaching position D, the dust collection position. Figure 6 As shown, the torque is now balanced, and the rotation stops.

[0074] When the airflow flows from right to left, based on the same principle, the torque exerted by the airflow on the portion below the axis X of the dust collection section 31 is still greater than the torque on the portion above it. However, since the airflow direction is opposite, the dust collection section 31 will rotate clockwise, and the inlet will rotate to face right to face the airflow. It can be seen that the direction and position of the axis X are not limited to this. By setting the specific structure of the dust collection section 31, the axis X of the rotating shaft can also be in other directions or positions. For example, the axis can also be perpendicular to the length direction of the dust collection plate 311. For example, if the axis is set horizontally, the airflow can also push the dust collection section 31 to rotate vertically. That is, the dust collection section 31 can only be in a relatively stable position when the symmetrical centerline of the dust collection section 31 is parallel to the airflow direction. In other positions, by setting the positional relationship between the dust collection section 31 and the axis, the torque generated when the airflow passes through can be used to push the dust collection section 31 to rotate so that the inlet faces the airflow.

[0075] It should be understood that, although in Figure 6 Position A, as shown in the diagram, is the initial position. It can be understood that in other positions, such as B and C, the inlet can be pushed to the position directly facing the airflow under the action of the airflow. In addition, when the dust collection section 31 is in position D, it is in a symmetrical state in the airflow direction and will not rotate. When the first control valve 11 adjusts the airflow direction again, for example, from right to left, due to the change in airflow direction or the instability of the airflow at the beginning of air intake, the airflow direction in the chamber 1a is also unstable at the beginning of air intake, or in other words, there will be local airflow fluctuations. At this time, the dust collection section 31 will rotate to a certain extent under the airflow disturbance at the beginning of air intake. That is, at the beginning of adjusting the airflow direction, it will not remain in position D, but will rotate to position B, C or other positions, in a swaying state. Finally, after the flue gas continues to enter, it will rotate under the drive of the general direction of airflow, and then finally stabilize and adjust to the direction of the inlet facing the airflow.

[0076] Therefore, in order to ensure that the dust collection section 31 can rotate flexibly to better achieve the purpose of always facing the flow, the dust collection section 31 can be made of lightweight materials, such as lightweight and high temperature resistant materials. The thickness of the dust collection plate 311 can be as thin as possible, such as controlled within 1mm. In an even better solution, the thickness of the dust collection plate 311 can be less than or equal to 0.5mm.

[0077] It is understandable that the arrangement of the dust collection section 31 is not limited to this. Let's continue with... Figure 6 For example, Figure 6 The dust collection section 31 shown in the diagram is... Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the dust collection device 3 from a top-down view. From this view, the dust collection section 31 is V-shaped (and Y-shaped when combined with the suction section 31). It can be seen that the dust collection section 31 can also be viewed from the front. Figure 1 From the perspective of V, it appears V-shaped, that is Figure 6 Position A, as shown in the diagram, represents the state of the dust collection unit 31 under gravity alone, without external force. It is in a vertical position, with the flared end 3a and the constricted end 3b vertically distributed. When rotated to position D, the flared end 3a and the constricted end 3b are horizontally distributed. Clearly, this configuration also allows for automatic windward adjustment, and to achieve flexible rotation, the dust collection unit 31 should be designed to be as lightweight as possible.

[0078] In the above embodiments, the dust collection section 31 of the dust collection device 3 can automatically adjust its position according to changes in airflow direction, ensuring that the inlet of the dust collection section 31 always faces the direction of airflow. This adapts to regenerable incinerator environments with different airflow directions during production, maintaining good dust removal performance. Of course, the dust collection device 3 can also be non-rotating; for example, for regenerable incinerators where the airflow direction remains constant, it does not need to be rotatable. Alternatively, multiple sets of non-rotating dust collection devices 3 can be installed within the chamber 1a of the furnace body 1, with each set having a different inlet orientation. Figure 1 For example, the inlet of part of the dust collection device 3 can be set to face left and part to face right, which can meet the needs of airflow changes. Obviously, the rotation setting allows the dust collection device 3 to be used efficiently.

[0079] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 6 and combined Figure 7 understand, Figure 7 for Figure 6 Left view of the dust collection section 31 and the dust suction pipe in position A.

[0080] In this embodiment, the dust suction section 32 is specifically a dust suction pipe. One side of the dust suction pipe has an opening extending along its length. It can also be understood that the dust suction pipe has a U-shaped groove structure, and the groove is the opening. The opening of the dust suction pipe is connected to the constricted end 3b of the dust collection section 31 to connect the dust collection section 31 and the dust suction section 32. The dust suction pipe and the two dust collection plates 311 can be fixedly connected or integrally set.

[0081] like Figure 7 As shown, the length of the constricted end 3b is the same as the length of the dust collection plate 311. The width of the dust collection plate 311 is the distance between the side of the dust collection plate 311 located at the flared end 3a and the side of the dust collection plate 311 located at the constricted end 3b, and the length direction is perpendicular to the width direction. Thus, the dust collection pipe and the dust collection section 31 are assembled and fitted together to form... Figure 2 , 6 The Y-shaped structure shown connects the suction section 32 to the dust collection section 31. Under the influence of airflow, a torque is generated that causes both the suction section 32 and the dust collection section 31 to rotate, meaning they rotate synchronously. The suction duct should ideally occupy as little volume as possible to facilitate the generation of negative pressure, for example... Figure 6 In this design, the suction pipe is relatively thin and narrow, and is a flat pipe. This design also helps to reduce weight and facilitates flexible rotation. At this time, the suction pipe is connected to the constricted end 3b, which is also the outlet of the dust collection section 31. That is, in addition to sucking away the dust collected by the dust collection section 31, the suction pipe also sucks away a portion of the smoke.

[0082] The V-shaped dust collection section 31 described above facilitates the passage of a larger inlet (in this embodiment, i.e.) Figure 2The flared end 3a) shown draws airflow into the dust collection section 31. Due to the V-shaped cross-section change, dust in the airflow easily collides with the dust collection surface of the dust collection plate 311 and is collected. Furthermore, the suction pipe of the suction section 32 connects with the constricted end 3b of the dust collection section 31, facilitating the direct entry of dust-laden airflow into the suction pipe for extraction. It can be understood that the suction section 32 and the dust collection section 31 can also be connected in other ways. For example, the constricted end 3b of the dust collection section 31 can be closed but a connection port can be reserved as the outlet of the dust collection section 31. The suction section 32 can be a pipe capable of forming negative pressure and can be connected to this connection port. In this embodiment, the Y-shaped structure of the connection allows the suction section 32 to more comprehensively extract the dust-laden airflow and collected dust in the dust collection section 31.

[0083] The structure of the dust collection section 31 is not limited to a V-shape; for example, it can be set to a conical or cylindrical shape. In order to increase the collision of dust inside the dust collection section 31, the dust collection plate 311 of the dust collection section 31 is not limited to being set to a V-shape. Figure 2 The hanging plate 312 shown, such as the dust collection plate 311, has multiple protrusions or grooves on its dust collection surface, or the dust collection plate 311 itself is a corrugated plate, etc.

[0084] It should be noted that the dust collection section 31 is not limited to connecting its outlet to the suction section 32. The dust collection section 31 may have an inlet and an outlet distributed along the airflow direction. After the airflow enters the dust collection section 31, the dust is collected in the dust collection section 31, and part or most of the airflow flows out from the outlet and continues to be located in the chamber 1a. The dust collection section 31 is also provided with an outlet, which is connected to the suction section 32. In this way, the suction section 32 can suck in the collected dust and part of the airflow entering the dust collection section 31. When the outlet of the dust collection section 31 is connected to the suction section 32, all or most of the airflow entering the dust collection section 31 will be sucked in by the suction section 32.

[0085] For reference Figure 8 understand, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of another type of airflow passing through the dust collection section 31. In this design, the dust collection section 32 can perform suction in a direction perpendicular to the xy plane, or an outlet can be provided on the dust collection plate 311 and connected to the dust collection section 32.

[0086] Or, such as Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram showing another type of airflow passing through the dust collection section 31. In this design, the structure of the dust collection device 3 is similar to... Figure 2 The process is the same, except that the airflow is perpendicular to the xy plane, meaning the airflow direction is parallel to the length of the dust collection plate 311. In this case, structures such as hanging plates 312 can be added inside the dust collection section 31 to improve dust collection efficiency. Figure 8 , 9In both cases, the dust collection device 3 can still be set to be rotatable to automatically meet the airflow, but for Figure 9 In this case, it is necessary to make structural modifications to the dust collection plate 311 or add corresponding structures so that the dust collection section 31 can be rotated after the airflow.

[0087] It can be seen that, Figure 8 , 9 Different from Figure 2 The embodiment is intended to illustrate that the purpose of the dust collection section 31 is to collect dust, and the dust suction section 32 is used to extract the collected dust. After the airflow enters the dust collection section 31, it can partially or mostly flow out from the outlet after dust collection. Alternatively, the outlet of the dust collection section 31 can be connected to the dust suction section 32. All or most of the airflow entering the dust collection section 31 is sucked away along with the dust. This does not affect the purpose of dust collection in the chamber 1a of this solution.

[0088] It is understandable that by directly connecting the dust suction unit 32 to the outlet of the dust collection unit 31, all or most of the airflow entering the dust collection unit 31 is sucked away by the dust suction unit 32. This is equivalent to sucking away a portion of the airflow participating in combustion in the chamber 1a, thereby removing the particulate matter generated after combustion in the chamber 1a. The dust collection is more thorough. Since the airflow sucked out has a high temperature and the combustion may not be complete, it can be sucked to the outside of the chamber 1a for dust removal before re-entering the chamber 1a of the furnace body 1 to participate in combustion. However, for the scheme that does not connect to the outlet but sets an exhaust outlet to connect with the dust suction unit 32, more dust and a portion of the airflow are sucked away. They can be directly sucked to the outside for dust removal and collection, or they can be dusted outside the chamber 1a and then re-enter the chamber 1a of the furnace body 1 to participate in combustion.

[0089] Please continue to combine Figure 2 And refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the suction unit 32 and the dust collection unit 31 rotate along the same axis X. This ensures that the dust collection unit 31 does not obstruct airflow into the suction unit 32 during rotation. The dust collection unit 31 and the suction pipe serving as the suction unit 32 can be fixedly connected or integrally formed, and both rotate synchronously.

[0090] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the suction unit 32 also includes connecting pipes 33 located at both ends of the suction channel. One end of the connecting pipe 33 is connected to or integrally formed with the suction pipe and is connected to the suction pipe; the other end of the connecting pipe 33 rotates around a pivot, or the connecting pipe 33 itself serves as a pivot, so as to drive the suction unit 32 and the dust collection unit 31 to rotate synchronously around the axis. Figure 7The other end of the connecting pipe 33 is a horizontal section, and the axis of this section is the axis X of rotation of the dust collection section 31. The other end of the connecting pipe 33 can be connected to a rotating shaft, or the other end of the connecting pipe 33 can be directly pivoted on the furnace body 1 or other structures fixed to the furnace body 1, in which case the connecting pipe 33 itself is the rotating shaft. In this way, during the rotation of the connecting pipe 33, the connecting pipe 33 always rotates around its own axis X, without affecting the connection of the connecting pipe 33 to the induced draft fan 8 outside the chamber 1a through the pipeline. Figure 7 The black arrow in the middle indicates the direction of the suction airflow. At this time, the connecting pipe 33 at one end is also part of the dust suction path, specifically the right end, while the connecting pipe 33 at the other end can be closed. However, it is clear that both connecting pipes 33 are connected to the exhaust fan 8, which is actually possible. Figure 7 In the middle, the axis X of the dust collection part 31 is roughly located at the flared end 3a, and the dust suction part 32 is located at the constricted end 3b. The connecting pipe 33 is inclined relative to the dust suction pipe of the dust suction part 32, so as to extend to the position of the axis X. Since the connecting pipe 33 needs to match and dock with the dust suction part 32 and connect with or form a rotating shaft, the connecting pipe 33 can be a variable diameter bent pipe, or it can be formed by splicing multiple pipe sections.

[0091] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 The regenerative incinerator in this embodiment also includes a waste heat recovery device 6. The dust suction unit 32 sucks out the dust-laden airflow, and the sucked-out airflow can enter the waste heat recovery device 6. The dust-laden airflow has a very high temperature, and the waste heat recovery device 6 can recover heat and make full use of energy. At the same time, it can greatly reduce the temperature of the dust-laden airflow, which is beneficial for the subsequent filtration and dust removal components 7 to filter out the dust in the airflow.

[0092] like Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the waste heat recovery device 6. The waste heat recovery device 6 may include multiple heat exchange tubes 61. The dust-laden airflow absorbed by the dust suction unit 32 can enter the heat exchange tubes 61 and exchange heat with the outside of the heat exchange tubes 61. The waste heat recovery device 6 can be installed outside the furnace body 1 for heating other components or media, or it can be installed inside the internal chamber 1a.

[0093] Figure 1 In this configuration, the waste heat recovery device 6 is specifically installed inside the chamber 1a and located below the heat storage body 2 at the air inlet. In this way, when the flue gas enters the chamber 1a but has not yet entered the heat storage body 2, it can exchange heat with the high-temperature airflow flowing inside the waste heat recovery device 6 and thus be heated. After being heated, the flue gas enters the heat storage body 2 and is heated again, so that it can be heated more efficiently and preheated to the required temperature as soon as possible to fully participate in combustion. To a certain extent, it can also save the amount of heat storage body 2 used.

[0094] In this embodiment, the waste heat recovery device 6 is located below the heat storage body 2 and is mainly used to preheat the flue gas that is about to enter the heat storage body 2, that is, it needs to correspond to the heat storage body 2 for air intake. However, as mentioned above, the airflow path in the chamber 1a in this embodiment may change. The airflow may flow through the heat storage body 2 after entering, or it may flow through the heat storage body 2 when exiting. That is, a certain heat storage body 2 does not necessarily correspond to air intake or air exhaust.

[0095] At this point, a second control valve 12 can be installed, such as... Figure 1 As shown, each heat storage body 2 is equipped with a waste heat recovery device 6 below it, and a second control valve 12 is provided on the connecting pipe between the dust collection device 3 and each waste heat recovery device 6. It can be linked with the first control valve 11 for control. When one of the first control valves 11 controls the airflow to enter the compartment where the corresponding heat storage body 2 is located, the second control valve 12 corresponding to the waste heat recovery device 6 below the heat storage body 2 in that compartment is opened, and the other two second control valves 12 are closed. This allows the dust-laden airflow sucked up by the dust collection device 3 to flow into the waste heat recovery device 6 below the heat storage body 2 at this time, instead of flowing into the other waste heat recovery devices 6, thereby completing the preheating of the incoming air.

[0096] Furthermore, the dust collection device 3 can be installed above the adjacent heat storage body 2, by... Figure 3-5 It can be seen that above the heat storage body 2, the airflow direction changes from left to right, from the center to both sides, or from right to left. Placing the dust collection device 3 in this position can better adapt to the changes in airflow and easily collect the dust-laden airflow burning above. Of course, the dust collection device 3 can also be placed in other positions, such as directly above the heat storage body 2.

[0097] Figure 1 In the middle, three sets of heat storage bodies 2 are set up, and two sets of collection devices 3 can be set up. The dust-laden airflow drawn by the two sets of collection devices 3 can be connected to a main pipe. The main pipe is connected to three waste heat recovery devices 6 through branch pipes. Each branch pipe is equipped with the aforementioned second control valve 12.

[0098] like Figure 1 As shown, the outlets of multiple waste heat recovery devices 6 can be connected to the exhaust duct 9 via pipelines. An exhaust fan 8 is installed in the exhaust duct 9 to achieve suction, creating negative pressure in the dust collection section 32 connected to the exhaust duct 8. Additionally, the exhaust duct 9 is also connected to the flue 10. As mentioned earlier, the dust-laden airflow drawn by the dust collection section 32 can flow back into the chamber 1a to re-participate in combustion. At this point, a filter dust removal component 7 needs to be installed in the pipeline before the return to the flue 10 to remove dust from the drawn-out dust-laden airflow. The dust-removed airflow then re-enters the chamber 1a. The filter dust removal component 7 can be, for example, a filter screen, filter cotton, or other structure capable of filtering dust. Figure 1In this process, the dust removal and filtration component 7 is located between the waste heat recovery device 6 and the induced draft pipe 9, so that dust removal and filtration can be achieved before entering the induced draft fan 8, which helps to prevent dust in the dust-laden airflow from affecting the service life of the induced draft fan 8.

[0099] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the chamber 1a of the furnace body 1 is separated from the external environment by the thermal insulation layer 5, avoiding heat loss of the high-temperature flue gas in the chamber 1a. The aforementioned second control valve 12 can be installed in the external environment for easy operation and maintenance. At this time, the flow pipeline of the dust-laden airflow after being sucked by the dust collection device 3 can be buried in the thermal insulation layer 5, which can reduce the thermal insulation design of this part of the pipeline and reduce the occupation of the pipeline in the chamber 1a. Figure 1 The dust collection device 3 and the waste heat recovery device 6 are both located in the chamber 1a, and the pipelines can be buried in the insulation layer 5 as much as possible.

[0100] Please continue reading. Figure 11-13 , Figure 11 for Figure 3 Sectional view along axis AA; Figure 12 for Figure 4 BB-direction sectional view; Figure 13 for Figure 5 CC-direction sectional view.

[0101] A set of suction section 32 and dust collection section 31 can be defined as a dust collection assembly. In this embodiment, the dust collection device 3 may include at least two rows of dust collection assemblies. The multiple rows of dust collection assemblies are distributed along the arrangement direction of the heat storage body 2, which can be defined as the first direction, i.e. Figure 11-13 The left-right direction shown is also the airflow direction above chamber 1a. Each row of dust collection components includes multiple sets of suction sections 32 and dust collection sections 31, which are distributed horizontally and perpendicular to the first direction, defined as the second direction. Figure 11 The up and down directions are shown. For example... Figure 11 As shown, adjacent rows of dust collection components can be staggered in the second direction. This allows airflow that does not enter the adjacent two sets of dust collection components in one row to enter the next row of dust collection components between the two sets of dust collection components in that row for dust collection. This enables the two rows of dust collection components to collect dust more effectively and improves dust collection efficiency. It can be seen that multiple rows of dust collection components can also be set in the height direction of the furnace body 1.

[0102] Figure 11 In the middle, the airflow is from left to right, and the inlets of the dust collection sections 31 of the dust collection devices 3 on both the left and right sides are facing the left side to face the airflow; Figure 12 In the middle, the airflow moves from the center to the left and right sides. The inlet of the dust collection section 31 of the dust collection device 3 on the left faces to the right to face the airflow, and the inlet of the dust collection section 31 of the dust collection device 3 on the right faces to the left to face the airflow. Figure 13 In the middle, the airflow is from right to left, and the inlets of the dust collection sections 31 of the dust collection devices 3 on both the left and right sides are facing the right side in order to face the airflow.

[0103] Let's look again. Figure 1 When the dust collection device 3 includes multiple dust collection components, a manifold box 4 can be provided. The manifold box 4 is also located inside the chamber 1a, or it can be located inside the insulation layer 5 to avoid occupying the space of the chamber 1a. In this embodiment, only the manifold box 4, the dust collection device 3, and the waste heat recovery device 6 can be located inside the chamber 1a. The dust-laden airflow drawn by the suction section 32 of each dust collection component is connected to the manifold box 4. For example, the connecting pipe 33 mentioned above can be connected to the manifold box 4. In this way, the airflow can be transported to the outside of the chamber 1a through the manifold box 4. The external pipeline can be directly connected to the manifold box 4, which simplifies the pipeline layout.

[0104] The dust collection device 3 in the above embodiment is installed in a regenerative incinerator. It can be seen that when the dust collection part 31 of the dust collection device 3 is set to be rotatable, it can also be used in other dust collection environments. As long as there is a change in the airflow direction in the occasion where dust collection is required, the dust collection device provided in this embodiment can be applied.
