Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of furnace and kiln firing technology, and in particular, to a rotating cylinder sealing device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing industrial production, there are many large rotary cylindrical devices, such as rotary kilns, cooling cylinders, and drying cylinders, which are widely used in industries such as iron and steel metallurgy, cement production, glass production, non-ferrous metallurgy, and solid waste disposal.

[0003] To improve production efficiency, such large rotary cylindrical devices require a jetting system installed on the cylinder to regulate the reaction and / or temperature fields within the cylinder. When installing a jetting system on the cylinder, a fixed air supply system needs to be connected to the jetting system. However, since the jetting system rotates with the cylinder, there are issues with connection and sealing between the rotating cylinder and the fixed air supply system.

[0004] Large rotary cylindrical devices typically experience axial movement due to thermal expansion and contraction when hot or cold. Simultaneously, the large cylinder is prone to radial deformation under gravity and heat load. Solving the connection and sealing problem between the rotating cylinder and the fixed air supply system requires addressing the issues arising from thermal expansion and contraction and cylinder deformation.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a rotating cylinder sealing device to alleviate the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides a rotating cylinder sealing device, which solves the technical problem of sealing the connection between the rotating cylinder and the air supply system and the jet blowing system during the rotating motion.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A rotating cylinder sealing device includes an air duct sealing ring, an annular air duct, a limiting component, a sealing component, and a connecting component. The air duct sealing ring is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder through the connecting component. The annular air duct is connected to the outer periphery of the air duct sealing ring and forms an airflow channel with the air duct sealing ring. The sealing component is disposed at the connection between the annular air duct and the air duct sealing ring to seal the airflow channel. The limiting component is disposed on both sides of the annular air duct to limit the displacement of the air duct sealing ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing assembly includes an annular sealing ring, a compression spring, a sliding pressure ring, and a fixing frame. The fixing frame is fixedly connected to the air duct sealing ring, and an installation space is formed between the fixing frame and the annular air duct. The annular sealing ring, the compression spring, and the sliding pressure ring are installed in the installation space. One end of the compression spring is connected to the fixing frame, and the other end acts on the sliding pressure ring. The annular sealing ring is located in the annular cavity formed between the annular air duct, the air duct sealing ring, and the sliding pressure ring. The sliding pressure ring generates a compression force on the annular sealing ring through the compression spring.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing assembly consists of two sets, which are simultaneously disposed on both sides of the sidewall of the annular air duct.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-section of the annular sealing ring is circular or square.

[0012] Furthermore, the annular sealing ring is a rubber sealing ring or an asbestos packing sealing ring.

[0013] Furthermore, the sliding pressure ring is L-shaped.

[0014] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes a support frame fixed on the duct sealing ring, and an axial limiting mechanism and a radial limiting mechanism fixedly connected to the support frame. The axial limiting mechanism and the radial limiting mechanism respectively limit the displacement of the duct sealing ring in the axial and radial directions.

[0015] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes a radial limiting track fixedly connected to the side of the annular air duct, with one end of the radial limiting mechanism away from the support frame embedded in the radial limiting track, and the radial limiting mechanism moving along the radial limiting track.

[0016] Furthermore, both the axial limiting mechanism and the radial limiting mechanism are positioning wheel sets composed of multiple positioning wheels.

[0017] Furthermore, the annular air duct is a flow channel, which is a ring structure formed by three surfaces.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The rotary kiln sealing device provided by this invention is used to connect and seal the air supply system and the jetting system on the rotary kiln. During operation, airflow enters the airflow channel formed by the air supply system's sealing ring and the annular air duct, and then is delivered to the jetting system via a pipeline. The jetting system then delivers the airflow into the rotary kiln. The sealing device achieves the purpose of supplying air from the static air supply system to the dynamic rotary kiln. When the rotary kiln rotates, the air supply sealing ring, together with the limiting component fixed thereon and the sealing device, rotates with the rotary kiln under the pull of the connecting component. The annular air duct is supported on the ground and connected to the air supply system's pipes. Under the action of the limiting component, the air duct sealing ring and the annular air duct maintain a relative position. This can compensate for the positional changes caused by the axial movement or deformation of the rotating cylinder due to thermal expansion and contraction, and reduce the relative displacement between components. Therefore, by setting the air duct sealing ring, annular air duct, limiting component, sealing component, and connecting component, the problem of air supply to the cylinder body under dynamic and static combination is solved, the sealing effect of the connection of each combined component is improved, and the problems of unstable operation caused by the existing method of using a rotating cylinder with a fan for power supply are changed.

[0020] In addition to the objectives, features, and advantages described above, the present invention has other objectives, features, and advantages. The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the figures. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 - Figure 3The rotating cylinder sealing device 300 is used to connect and seal the air supply system 30 and the jetting system 31 on the rotating cylinder 10. The rotating cylinder sealing device 300 includes an air duct sealing ring 33, an annular air duct 35, a limiting component 37, a sealing component 38, and a connecting component 39. The air duct sealing ring 33 is connected to the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 10 through the connecting component 39. The annular air duct 35 is connected to the outer periphery of the air duct sealing ring 33 and forms an airflow channel 40 with the air duct sealing ring 33. The air supply system 30 supplies air to the jetting system 31 through the airflow channel 40. The jetting system 31 is connected to the rotating cylinder 10 to deliver airflow into the rotating cylinder 10. The sealing component 38 is disposed at the connection between the annular air duct 35 and the air duct sealing ring 33 to seal the airflow channel 40. The limiting component 37 is disposed on both sides of the annular air duct 35 to limit the displacement of the air duct sealing ring 33. Airflow enters the airflow channel 40 formed by the air supply system 30, the air duct sealing ring 33, and the annular air duct 35, and then is sent to the jetting system 31 through a pipe. The jetting system 31 then delivers the airflow into the rotating cylinder 10. The rotating cylinder sealing device 300 is used to achieve the purpose of supplying air from the static air supply system to the dynamic rotating cylinder 10. When the rotating cylinder 10 rotates, the air duct sealing ring 33, together with the limiting component 37 and the sealing component 38 fixed thereon, rotates with the rotating cylinder 10 under the pull of the connecting component 39. The annular air duct 35 is fixed by the pipe connection of the air supply system 30, and maintains its relative position with the air duct sealing ring 33 under the action of the limiting component 37. This can compensate for the positional changes caused by the axial movement or deformation of the rotating cylinder 10 due to thermal expansion and contraction, and reduce the relative displacement between components. Therefore, by setting the air duct sealing ring 33, the annular air duct 35, the limiting component 37, the sealing component 38 and the connecting component 39, the problem of air supply to the cylinder body of the rotating cylinder 10 under dynamic and static combination is solved, and the sealing effect of the connection of each combined component is improved.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating cylinder 10 is a rotary kiln. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating cylinder can also be a cooling cylinder or a drying cylinder, etc. The rotary kiln performs calcination during rotation, and the blowing system 31 is used to deliver airflow into the rotary kiln to regulate the reaction field and / or temperature field inside the rotating cylinder.

[0033] The annular air duct 35 is a flow channel, which is a ring structure formed by three surfaces. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the flow channel is square. In other embodiments, the flow channel can also be semi-circular, triangular, or other irregular shapes.

[0034] The annular air duct 35 is fixed, and the air duct sealing ring 33 is arranged around the outside of the rotating cylinder. Together with the limiting component 37 and the sealing component 38 fixed thereon, it rotates with the rotating cylinder 10 under the pull of the connecting component 39. The sealing component 38 achieves the purpose of sealing the dynamic and static joint surfaces, and the sealing effect is good.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 The sealing assembly 38 includes a sealing ring 381, a compression spring 383, a sliding pressure ring 385, and a fixing frame 387. The fixing frame 387 is fixedly connected to the air duct sealing ring 33, and an installation space is formed between the fixing frame 387 and the annular air duct 35. The sealing ring 381, the compression spring 383, and the sliding pressure ring 385 are installed in the installation space. One end of the compression spring 383 is connected to the fixing frame 387, and the other end acts on the sliding pressure ring 385. The sealing ring 381 is located in the annular cavity formed between the annular air duct 35, the air duct sealing ring 33, and the sliding pressure ring 385. The sliding pressure ring 385 generates a compression force on the sealing ring 381 through the compression spring 383.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two sets of sealing components 38, and the two sets of sealing components 38 are simultaneously disposed on both sides of the sidewall of the annular air duct 35.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically in this embodiment, the sealing ring 381 is an annular sealing ring with a circular cross-section. Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the cross-section of the annular sealing ring 381 is square, and the sealing ring 381 is a rubber sealing ring or an asbestos packing sealing ring. Both the rubber sealing ring and the asbestos packing sealing ring have a certain degree of elasticity, and under the compression of the pre-tightening force of the compression spring 383, they seal the connection gap between the annular air duct 35 and the air duct sealing ring 33, resulting in a good sealing effect.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the sliding pressure ring 385 is L-shaped and its bottom is fixed on the air duct sealing ring 33.

[0039] It should be noted that, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the compression spring 383 is connected to the fixed frame 387 by a pin, which is used to better connect the compression spring 383 to the fixed frame 387.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the limiting components 37 are disposed on both sides of the annular air duct to limit the displacement of the air duct sealing ring. The limiting components 37 include a support frame 371 fixed on the air duct sealing ring 33, and an axial limiting mechanism 373 and a radial limiting mechanism 375 fixedly connected to the support frame 371. The axial limiting mechanism 373 and the radial limiting mechanism 375 limit the displacement of the air duct sealing ring 33 axially and radially, respectively. The air duct sealing ring 33, the axial limiting mechanism, and the radial limiting mechanism form a U-shape surrounding and connecting to the periphery of the annular air duct 35. Because the rotating cylinder 10 expands and contracts under hot and cold conditions, it will cause axial movement and radial deformation under gravity and thermal load. The axial limiting mechanism 373 and the radial limiting mechanism 375 can effectively compensate for the axial and radial displacement of the rotating cylinder 10, making the movement gap between the components smaller. This makes it easier for the sealing assembly to seal the gap and the sealing effect is better.

[0041] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the limiting component 37 also includes a radial limiting track 377 fixedly connected to the side of the annular air duct 35. The end of the radial limiting mechanism 375 away from the support frame 371 is embedded in the radial limiting track 377. Through the radial limiting track 377, the radial limiting mechanism 375 moves along the radial limiting track 377 under the drive of the air duct sealing ring 33. The components do not produce relative positional displacement in the radial movement, thus improving the movement accuracy.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the axial limiting mechanism 373 and the radial limiting mechanism 375 are positioning wheel groups composed of multiple positioning wheels. The annular air duct 35 is kept fixed by the pipe connection of the air supply system 30, and simultaneously, under the combined action of the axial wheel group and the radial wheel group, the air duct sealing ring 33 maintains a relative positional relationship with the annular air duct 35. The axial positioning wheel group and the radial positioning wheel group have the same structure, and each group consists of 1-24 positioning wheels; preferably, each group consists of 2-24 positioning wheels. In this embodiment, the axial and radial positioning wheel groups are 12 groups evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating cylinder 10.

[0043] Specifically, the support frame 371 is shaped like a "7". The axial positioning wheel assembly is arranged along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 10, and the rollers of the axial positioning wheel assembly act on the side of the annular air duct 35. The radial positioning wheel assembly is arranged radially along the rotating cylinder 10. The radial limiting track 377 is a cantilever beam structure fixed to the side of the annular air duct 35, and the other side is fixedly connected to the annular air duct 35 by reinforcing ribs. The radial positioning wheel assembly rolls along the radial limiting track 377.

[0044] The connecting component 39 is used to connect the duct sealing ring and the rotating cylinder and is rotatable and telescopic. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting component is hinged to the duct sealing ring and the rotating cylinder, which can accommodate certain rotational deformation. The connecting component 39 is a flexible connecting rod or a spring rod. The connecting component 39 itself has a certain degree of extensibility and can accommodate certain telescopic deformation. Preferably, the connecting component 39 is a spring rod. It can be understood that by connecting the duct sealing ring and the rotating cylinder through the connecting component 39, while achieving the purpose of connecting the two, the connecting component 39 can also adapt to and meet the angle changes and interval changes of the duct sealing ring and the rotating cylinder during movement through rotational deformation and telescopic deformation, thus connecting the duct sealing ring and the rotating cylinder more flexibly.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the air supply system 30 includes an air supply fan 301, an air supply duct 303, and a compensation device 305. The air supply fan 301 supplies air to the airflow channel 40, and the air supply duct 303 is connected to the annular air duct 35 through the compensation device 305. The annular air duct 35 is fixedly connected to the air supply duct 303, making the annular air duct 35 stationary. The air supply duct 303 supplies air to the airflow channel 40. One end of the jet blowing system 31 is connected to the air duct sealing ring 33 through the cylindrical air duct 311, connecting to the airflow channel 40, and the other end is inserted into the rotating cylinder 10. The airflow channel 40 connects both the air supply duct 303 and the cylindrical air duct 311 to deliver the airflow from the air supply system 30 to the rotating cylinder 10.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the compensation device 305 is a rubber hose, a metal hose, or a compensator, which adapts to the radial or axial relative displacement between the pipeline and the annular air duct 35.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating cylinder 10 is a rotary kiln. When the rotary kiln rotates, the air duct sealing ring 33, together with the support frame 371, axial positioning wheel group, radial positioning wheel group, and sealing assembly fixed thereon, rotates with the rotating cylinder 10 under the pull of the connecting assembly 39. Meanwhile, the annular air duct 35 remains fixed under the action of the air supply pipe 303 of the air supply system 30, and under the combined action of the axial positioning wheel group and the radial positioning wheel group, the displacement of the annular air duct 35 is ensured, so that the annular air duct 35 maintains its relative position to the air duct sealing ring 33.

[0048] It should be noted that the cylindrical duct 311 is also equipped with a duct compensation device 313, which is used to compensate for the axial and radial displacement of the cylindrical duct 311 during movement and to prevent the duct from detaching during movement. The duct compensation device 313 is a rubber hose, a metal hose, or a compensator.

[0049] The rotary kiln sealing device provided in this embodiment of the invention is used to connect and seal the air supply system and the jetting system on the rotary kiln. During operation, airflow enters the airflow channel formed by the air supply system's sealing ring and the annular air duct, and then is delivered to the jetting system via a pipeline. The jetting system then delivers the airflow into the rotary kiln. The rotary kiln sealing device achieves the purpose of supplying air from the static air supply system to the dynamic rotary kiln. When the rotary kiln rotates, the air supply sealing ring, together with the limiting component and the sealing component fixed thereon, rotates with the rotary kiln under the pull of the connecting component. The annular air duct remains fixed under the action of the air supply system's pipe connection, and under the action of the limiting component, it maintains its relative position with the air duct sealing ring. This can compensate for the positional changes caused by the axial movement or deformation of the rotating cylinder due to thermal expansion and contraction, and reduce the relative displacement between components. Therefore, by setting the air duct sealing ring, annular air duct, limiting component, sealing component, and connecting component, the problem of air supply to the cylinder body under dynamic and static combination conditions is solved, and the sealing effect of the connection of each combined component is improved.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
