Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of sealed plugboard, more particularly, it relates to an inflatable sealed plugboard device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Plug-in baffle doors are widely used in many industrial fields, which play a role in isolating flue gas, and are important equipment for ensuring safety in production and process system performance. According to the functional needs of the process system, the plug-in door is often installed in harsh environments such as high dust, high temperature, high moisture, and high corrosive gas. Blockage, corrosion, deformation and other situations often occur, ultimately causing the device to jam, flue gas leakage and other failures. Reducing the service life of the device, increasing the maintenance workload of the process system equipment, and increasing the unsafe factors of the process system.

[0003] In order to improve the sealing performance and corrosion resistance of the plug-in door, the traditional plug-in door often uses stainless steel or alloy sealing materials. At the same time, the sealing material and the plug-in plate must have high processing and manufacturing precision, so as to ensure that the sealing material and the plug-in plate are tightly attached. The corresponding plug-in door manufacturing cost is high. Due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the sealing material and the plug-in plate, under high temperature conditions, flue gas leakage is prone to occur due to the difference in expansion amount, and the gap between the sealing material and the plug-in plate is prone to dust accumulation, ultimately causing the plug-in plate to jam and the sealing to be not tight. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problems of the prior art, and provide an inflatable sealed plugboard device.

[0005] In a first aspect, an inflatable sealed plugboard device is provided, comprising: a plugboard frame, a plug-in plate, an air chamber, a sealing film, an isolation valve and a connecting rod;

[0006] The plugboard frame is connected to the flue wall, and the plug-in plate and the air chamber are arranged in the plugboard frame. The plug-in plate is controlled by the connecting rod to move up and down in the plugboard frame. The air chamber is a hollow structure, and the side of the air chamber facing the plug-in plate is provided with an opening and is provided with a sealing film. The air chamber is connected to an external compressed air source through the isolation valve, and the gas pressure in the air chamber is controlled by opening and closing the isolation valve.

[0007] Preferably, the air chamber comprises an upper air chamber, a side air chamber and a lower air chamber which are independently arranged, and each air chamber is connected to a corresponding isolation valve. The upper air chamber is arranged on both sides of the upper part of the plug-in plate, the side air chamber is arranged on both sides of the plug-in plate, and the lower air chamber is arranged on the lower side of the plug-in plate.

[0008] Preferably, the material of the sealing film is rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the connecting rod is connected to a hydraulic or electric actuator to provide thrust and tension to the connecting rod and the plug-in plate.

[0010] In a second aspect, there is provided a method for operating the gasketed damper device according to any one of the first aspect, comprising:

[0011] Step 1, put the device in the closed state: the damper is located entirely within the flue gas passage of the damper frame, open the isolation valve, and compressed air enters each air chamber through the isolation valve; the air pressure in each air chamber rises, and the sealing membrane of the air chamber expands until it is tightly attached to the side, bottom and upper part of the damper; at this time, stop increasing the pressure of the compressed air in the air chamber, and close the isolation valve;

[0012] Step 2, open the device: open the isolation valve corresponding to each air chamber, and discharge the gas in the air chamber; as the air pressure in each air chamber decreases, the sealing membrane of the air chamber contracts, the friction between the sealing membrane and the damper decreases, but still maintains the contact state, preventing flue gas from entering the upper damper frame through the gap between the damper and the sealing membrane; the damper moves upward under the action of the connecting rod, and the flue gas in the upstream flue begins to pass through the passage space between the damper and the damper frame into the downstream flue;

[0013] Step 3, put the device in the fully open state: when the damper is located entirely in the upper part of the damper frame, open the isolation valve, and compressed air enters each air chamber through the isolation valve; the air pressure in each air chamber rises, and the sealing membrane of the air chamber expands, and then stop increasing the pressure of the compressed air in the air chamber, and close the isolation valve.

[0014] As a preferred, in the step, the sealing membranes of the side air chamber and the lower air chamber, and the side air chamber and the upper air chamber are pressed against each other, and at the same time, the sealing membrane of the upper air chamber is tightly attached to the side of the damper, the gap between the damper and the damper frame is filled with the sealing membrane, and the requirement of no leakage of flue gas is met.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0016] 1. The damper of the present application moves up and down in the damper frame, and its sealing performance is guaranteed by the corresponding sealing membranes of the upper air chamber, the lower air chamber and the side air chamber, which has low requirements for the manufacturing precision of the damper, and is easy to process and manufacture. The sealing membrane can be made of organic corrosion-resistant materials such as rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene, which has better corrosion resistance and lower price than stainless steel or alloy corrosion-resistant materials.

[0017] 2. The corresponding sealing membranes of the upper air chamber, the lower air chamber and the side air chamber of the present application are soft materials with high elasticity, which can be more closely and tightly attached to the damper after being inflated with the increase of internal pressure. By operating the isolation valve, the gas pressure in the air chamber is controlled, the gap between the sealing membrane and the damper is managed, and the opening and closing operations of the damper device are flexibly coordinated, which effectively prevents the leakage of flue gas during the damper is stationary and moving, and ensures that the damper has good sealing performance.

[0018] 3. The gas pressure of the upper air chamber, the lower air chamber and the side air chamber of the present application can be independently controlled, and each air chamber can be independently installed in the plug frame. If a certain air chamber fails, it can be individually disassembled and repaired. The operation reliability of the device is high. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
