Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of clutches, and more particularly to a graded premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] In coal-fired power plants and other industrial applications, the mixing of hot and cold air media is a common and critical process. These processes typically involve uniformly mixing hot and cold air from different sources to meet the temperature uniformity requirements of subsequent process equipment. However, existing technologies for hot and cold air mixing present several significant problems: 1. In most cases, hot air ducts are directly connected to cold air ducts without a dedicated mixing device. This direct connection leads to severely uneven mixing, affecting the performance and efficiency of subsequent process equipment; 2. To address the aforementioned uneven mixing problem, some existing patents propose using mixers or baffles at the junction of the two media. While these devices can theoretically improve mixing, they have not been widely validated in practical applications. Furthermore, these static mixers often introduce significant system resistance, increasing energy consumption. More importantly, they fail to adequately consider the stress deformation caused by the temperature difference between the hot and cold air media on the mixing device, which could lead to device breakage or even duct rupture, threatening the safe operation of the system; 3. Cold air ducts typically have larger cross-sectional dimensions, while hot air ducts are relatively smaller. When hot air enters the cold air duct, the temperature difference between the two causes thermal expansion and contraction within the duct and mixing device. This stress deformation due to the temperature difference can damage the mixing device's structure, leading to safety hazards. 4. Because the deformation of the guide components caused by the temperature difference is not considered, existing mixing devices may pose serious safety risks in actual use. For example, a break in the mixing device could cause the flue to tear, resulting in media leakage, which not only affects production efficiency but may also lead to safety accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned staged premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device, the present invention is proposed.

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a staged premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device that can achieve pre-distribution and multi-stage premixing, effectively promoting the uniform mixing of hot and cold air media; it eliminates the need for a static mixer, resulting in low system resistance; and it absorbs the deformation of the guide components caused by temperature differences through the deformation of the expansion plate. This ensures the safety of mixers and other equipment during actual use, avoiding safety accidents caused by flue tearing and media leakage due to deformation.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A graded premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device includes a pipe component, including a hot air pipe and a cold air pipe, and a mixing component, including a hot air dividing plate located on one side of the hot air pipe, and a hot air channel installed on one side of the hot air dividing plate.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the graded premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device of the present invention, wherein: one side of the hot air duct is an inlet, and hot air enters the duct from the inlet; the other side of the hot air duct is an outlet, and hot air flows from the outlet to the subsequent duct.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the graded premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device of the present invention, each of the hot air dividing plates has its two ends fixedly connected to the ends of the adjacent hot air channels.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the graded premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device of the present invention, the outer wall of the hot air channel is fixedly connected to the cold air duct, and the diameter of the cold air duct is greater than the sum of the diameters of all the hot air channels.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the graded premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device of the present invention, one side of the hot air channel is fixedly connected to the pipe wall of the cold air duct through an adaptive expansion deformation plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention employs a pre-distribution and multi-stage premixing design.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0026] Secondly, the present invention is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When detailing the embodiments of the present invention, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a graded premixed adaptive hot and cold air mixing device. The device includes a pipe component 100, including a hot air pipe 101 and a cold air pipe 102, and a mixing component 200, including a hot air dividing plate 201 located on one side of the hot air pipe 101, and a hot air channel 202 installed on one side of the hot air dividing plate 201.

[0029] Specifically, one side of the hot air duct 101 is the inlet, from which hot air enters the duct. The other side of the hot air duct 101 is the outlet, from which hot air flows to the subsequent duct. The two ends of each hot air partition plate 201 are fixedly connected to the ends of the adjacent hot air channels 202.

[0030] In this process, the hot air medium first enters the mixing device through the hot air duct 101. At the top of the mixing device, the hot air divider 201 evenly distributes the hot air into multiple hot air channels 202. Each hot air channel 202 is equipped with a guide plate to ensure that the hot air is evenly distributed along the height direction. Subsequently, the hot air flows out from these hot air channels 202 and finally merges into the cold air duct 102, where it mixes with the cold air medium to achieve a uniform temperature.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Reference Figures 1-2This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the hot air channel 202 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the hot air duct 101, and several hot air channels 202 are provided. The two side plates of the hot air channel 202 are trapezoidal, and the inclined side of the hot air channel 202 is in the same direction as the flow of cold air. Several arc-shaped guide plates 202a along the inclined surface of the trapezoid are fixedly connected inside each hot air channel 202.

[0033] Furthermore, each arc-shaped guide plate 202a is arranged in parallel, and each arc-shaped guide plate 202a is arranged at equal intervals along the trapezoidal slope of the hot air channel 202. The hot air dividing plate 201 is arched in shape, and several hot air dividing plates 201 are provided. The hot air dividing plates 201 are fixedly connected to the side of the hot air channel 202 near the hot air pipe 101.

[0034] The hot air channels 202 are evenly distributed at the air outlets of the hot air duct 101, a layout that facilitates the uniform distribution of the hot air medium. Inside each hot air channel 202, several arc-shaped guide plates 202a are fixedly connected at equal intervals along the trapezoidal slope, and these guide plates are arranged in parallel. The purpose of this design is to enable the hot air medium to enter the cold air duct 102 in layers and evenly.

[0035] The arc-shaped guide plate 202a has one end parallel to the cold air duct 102 near the trapezoidal slope. When hot air flows out of the hot air channel 202, the arc-shaped guide plate 202a changes the direction of the hot air flow, aligning it with the flow direction of the cold air medium, thereby promoting effective mixing of the two media. The hot air dividing plate 201 is located between two adjacent hot air channels 202 and has an arched top, which helps the hot air medium flow smoothly from the hot air duct 101 into each hot air channel 202. This structural design ensures that the hot air medium can enter the cold air duct 102 uniformly and orderly, thus achieving a highly efficient mixing effect.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that a cold air duct 102 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hot air duct 202, and the diameter of the cold air duct 102 is greater than the sum of the diameters of all the hot air ducts 202.

[0038] A hot air channel 202 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the cold air duct 102, and the entire hot air channel 202 is completely placed inside the cold air duct 102. The diameter of the cold air duct 102 is larger than the sum of the diameters of all the hot air channels 202. This design facilitates the effective mixing of hot air medium and cold air medium within the cold air duct 102.

[0039] Furthermore, the cold air duct 102 is set perpendicularly to the hot air duct 101. The cold air flow direction of the cold air duct 102 is from the opposite side of the trapezoidal inclined side of the hot air channel 202 to the trapezoidal inclined side of the hot air channel 202. One side of the hot air channel 202 is fixedly connected to the pipe wall of the cold air duct 102 through an adaptive expansion deformation plate 202b.

[0040] The design aligns the flow directions of the cold and hot air, allowing for more thorough contact and mixing when the two media meet. The hot air flows out of the hot air channel 202 and along the direction of the guide plate, while the cold air enters from the opposite direction. This consistent flow direction prevents disturbance between the two fluids, reducing their flow velocity and improving mixing uniformity.

[0041] By installing an adaptive expansion and deformation plate 202b on one side of the hot air duct 202 and fixing it to the wall of the cold air duct 102, deformation of the guide component caused by temperature changes can be absorbed during actual operation. The adaptive expansion and deformation plate 202b is designed to deform freely under temperature difference, preventing breakage of the mixing device or flue due to stress concentration. This not only protects the equipment itself but also avoids potential safety risks such as media leakage, improving the safety performance of the entire system.

[0042] In use, the hot air medium is connected to the cold air duct 102 through the hot air duct 101. At the top of the mixing device, the hot air medium is evenly distributed into several hot air channels 202 by a hot air divider 201, and guide vanes are installed within these channels. Through this structure, the hot air medium is evenly distributed along the height direction. The cold air medium flows through the spaced channels outside the hot air channels 202. The two media meet and mix after entering the mixing device, achieving a uniform temperature.

[0043] Since hot air flows through hot air duct 202, and cold air flows through the gap between cold air duct 102 and hot air duct 202, the wall panel of hot air duct 202 will expand and contract due to the temperature difference. The bottom of hot air duct 202 is connected to the flue bottom plate at both ends by a self-adaptive expansion and deformation plate 202b. Thermal deformation can be absorbed through deformation in the height direction, ensuring the overall safety of the mixing device.

[0044] The data shows that before the mixer was installed, the highest temperature was 608K, the lowest temperature was 482K, the temperature distribution range after mixing hot and cold air was 126K, and the relative standard deviation was 7.6%. After installing the mixer of this invention, the highest temperature was 583K, the lowest temperature was 527K, the range was 56K, and the relative standard deviation decreased to 1.9%. This significantly improves the temperature uniformity after mixing hot and cold air and enhances the mixing effect.
