Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of boiler sootblower equipment, and in particular to a sootblower front end overtravel protection device. Background Art
[0002] Currently, existing sootblowers have brake pads welded to the front end of the rack. When the sports car hits a limit switch, it reverses. However, if the limit switch fails, the sports car will hit the brake pad, forcing it to stop. This increases the current in the sports car's motor, easily burning out vital components like thermocouples within the motor and damaging vulnerable parts of the sports car. In this case, the sports car must be disassembled for repair, increasing subsequent maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sootblower front end overtravel protection device in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies.
[0004] The present invention comprises a sootblower beam and a rack, wherein the rack is mounted at the bottom of the sootblower beam, and a driving gear of the sports car is engaged with the rack.
[0005] A movable rack is provided at the end of the sports car driving gear, a rack avoidance groove is opened on the sootblower beam, the top of the movable rack is installed in the rack avoidance groove through a return spring A, and one end of the movable rack is movably installed on the rack through a rotating shaft.
[0006] A spring mounting hole is opened in the rack avoidance groove, one end of the A return spring is fixed to the top of the movable rack, and the other end of the A return spring is installed in the spring mounting hole of the rack avoidance groove.
[0007] A limit block is provided at the bottom of the sootblower beam, one side of the limit block is a rack accommodating area, and when the movable rack is horizontal, the other end of the movable rack is located in the rack accommodating area.
[0008] A double-ear seat is provided at one end of the movable rack, and an oblong hole is opened on the double-ear seat for adjusting the position of the movable rack. The rotating shaft passes through the oblong hole to movably install the double-ear seat on the rack. A spring mounting hole is opened at the end of the rack. A B return spring is provided on the movable rack between the pair of double-ear seats, and the end of the B return spring is installed in the spring mounting hole of the rack.
[0009] The rotating shaft is a pin.
[0010] The rack avoidance groove is a rectangular groove.
[0011] A pair of teeth is provided at the bottom of the movable rack.
[0012] The limit block is welded to the bottom of the sootblower beam.
[0013] The rack is detachably mounted on the bottom of the sootblower beam by bolts.
[0014] The invention has the advantages that when the limit switch fails, the sports car is stopped by the movable rack, thereby preventing weak parts on the sports car from being easily damaged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
