Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of grate coolers of cement production equipment, and in particular relates to a cleaning control system for preventing clinker accumulation inside a grate cooler. Background Art
[0002] The grate cooler is a key equipment in the clinker burning system during the cement processing and production process. Its main function is to cool and transport the cement clinker. At the same time, it provides hot air for the rotary kiln and decomposition furnace, and is the main equipment for the burning system and heat recovery. In the actual use of the cement kiln grate cooler, since the cement clinker is transported in sections and stages during the transportation process, and the cement is prone to partial aggregation during the rapid cooling process, the cement kiln grate cooler is prone to clinker accumulation due to its transportation structure and cement aggregation during the transportation process, commonly known as "building snowmen". The clinker that cannot be transported away is accumulated under the rotary kiln cylinder on the front wall of the grate cooler. This part of the clinker accumulates higher and higher. In severe cases, it blocks the kiln mouth and makes it impossible to discharge the clinker in the kiln. The clinker accumulation will have an adverse effect on the thermal efficiency of the grate cooler and the quality of the clinker.
[0003] Clinker accumulation is prone to occur under the feed port of the grate cooler due to various reasons. If not handled in time or incorrectly, the clinker will pile up higher and higher until it reaches the kiln port, eventually causing the entire grate cooling system to fail to operate normally and requiring the kiln to be shut down for treatment, resulting in huge economic losses for the cement plant. The treatment of clinker accumulation is difficult and was initially handled manually, which can easily cause personal injury during the process. Most of the existing material pile unblocking devices used in cement kiln grate coolers are based on the pneumatic impact of manual air cannons or the impact force of high-pressure water guns to achieve the unblocking effect. The degree of automation is not high. When faced with large-scale agglomerated and blocked materials, the implementation efficiency of manual air cannons and high-pressure water guns is low, the work is highly dangerous, and the controllability of the implementation range is poor. In the uninterrupted operation of the cement kiln grate cooler, the material pile situation is prone to worsening, so that the line needs to be stopped for processing.
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, it is necessary to improve the structure of the existing grate cooler by automation. To this end, the applicant has made a useful design, and the technical solution to be introduced below is produced in this context. Summary of the invention

Therefore, they should not be understood as special limitations on the technical solution provided by the present invention.
[0019] See Figure 1 The present invention relates to a cleaning control system for preventing clinker accumulation inside a grate cooler, comprising a shell 1 and a grate bed 2 arranged in the shell 1. The shell 1 is provided with a primary air recovery port 11, a secondary air recovery port 12 and a tertiary air recovery port 13 from left to right at the top, wherein the primary air recovery port 11 is connected to a heat recovery power generation device, the secondary air recovery port 12 is connected to a post-grinding air blowing device, and the tertiary air recovery port 13 is connected to an environmental dust removal device. At least one air chamber is provided below the grate bed 2, and a plurality of fan devices 3 are provided in the air chamber, and the air outlets of each fan device 3 are respectively facing the primary air recovery port 11, the secondary air recovery port 12 and the tertiary air recovery port 13. This embodiment illustrates that three fan devices 3 are provided in one air chamber. The shell 1 is provided with a clinker discharge port 14 at the upper left side, and the clinker discharge port 14 is used to unload the clinker in the rotary kiln onto the grate bed 2.
[0020] See Figure 2 , and combined with Figure 1 The present invention further comprises a sickle wheel cleaning device 4, which is arranged in the housing 1 near the clinker discharge port 14 and comprises a pair of grate bed slide rails 41 arranged in parallel and spaced apart. Figure 1As shown, the pair of grate bed slide rails 41 are arranged parallel and spaced above the grate bed 2. A pair of sliding bases 42 are symmetrically slidably arranged on the pair of grate bed slide rails 41. An air cannon 43 with adjustable impact direction is arranged on one of the pair of sliding bases 42. The air cannon 43 includes an air cannon support frame 431 and an air cannon steering base 432. The bottom of the air cannon support frame 431 is connected to the sliding base 42. The air cannon steering base 432 is arranged on the top of the air cannon support frame 431. The air cannon 43 is connected to the air cannon steering base 432. The air cannon steering base 432 can rotate in real time to adjust the impact direction of the air cannon 43. The top of the side sliding base 42 is provided with a shaft support seat 421 for supporting one end of a sickle wheel shaft 44. A plurality of sickle wheels 45 are arranged on the sickle wheel shaft 44 at intervals. The other end of the sickle wheel shaft 44 is connected to a sickle wheel motor 46 through an elastic coupling 441. The sickle wheel motor 46 is arranged on the top of the other sliding base 42 in the pair of sliding bases 42. The air cannon 43 is used to clean the deposits adhering to the sickle wheel 45 to extend the service life of the sickle wheel 45.
[0021] Furthermore, the grate bed slide rail 41 is provided with a guide rail baffle 47 at one end in the length direction to prevent the sliding base 42 from detaching from the grate bed slide rail 41 when cleaning the pile. The guide rail baffle 47 is connected to the sliding base 42 through a baffle spring 48, and the baffle spring 48 is used to buffer the sudden collision of the sliding base 42 with the guide rail baffle 47 caused by the impact of the sickle wheel 45 on the resistance of the pile, thereby extending the service life of the grate bed slide rail 41 and the sickle wheel 45.

[0022] See Figure 1 In this embodiment, the sickle wheels 45 arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction and the grate bed slide rails 41 extending in the transverse direction cooperate to cut and impact the accumulated clinker, which greatly facilitates the complicated cleaning process of the accumulated clinker. This structure can thoroughly and efficiently complete the cleaning of the clinker.
[0023] See you next time Figure 1The present invention also includes a high-temperature explosion-proof camera device 5, which is arranged on the top of the shell 1 and close to the clinker discharge port 14. The detection direction points to the clinker accumulation place, which is used to monitor the accumulation height of the clinker in real time and transmit signals to the sickle wheel cleaning device 4. When the accumulated clinker appears and reaches a certain height, the sickle wheel cleaning device 4 is started, and the clinker is cleared by the sickle wheel 45. This solution has a high degree of automated control capability, saves energy, does not run unless necessary, and is environmentally friendly and energy-saving. In order to avoid secondary accumulation of clinker, the steering direction of the sickle wheel 45 is opposite to the bending direction of the sickle, that is, the sickle wheel 45 rotates in the opposite direction to shovel the clinker upward and backward. In this embodiment, the camera device 5 adopts the NK-YN-Q5 series high-temperature special detector to detect the height of the accumulated clinker.
