Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a turbine mechanical cleaning system. Background Technology
[0002] Centrifugal fans, as a type of turbine machinery, are widely used in industries such as cement, steel, petrochemicals, and metallurgy to transport gases. They are machines that convert the mechanical energy of a prime mover into the energy of a gas. The gases transported include clean air, flue gas containing a small amount of dust, flue gas containing a large amount of dust, and mixed gases containing a large amount of dust and moisture.
[0003] Centrifugal fans, used for conveying flue gas containing large amounts of dust and mixed gases containing large amounts of dust and moisture, experience dust accumulation on their impellers during operation. Uneven distribution of this dust can cause the impeller to gradually lose balance, leading to increased fan vibration, sometimes even severe vibration. In such cases, it is necessary to stop the fan for maintenance and remove the dust from the impeller; otherwise, excessive vibration could damage the equipment. However, in factory piping systems, centrifugal fans are crucial gas conveying equipment and cannot be shut down arbitrarily. Stopping them for maintenance would disrupt the entire system's operation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a turbine cleaning system that can remove adhering substances from the impeller during normal operation of the equipment without affecting the normal operation of the system, saving maintenance time and costs, and improving the reliability and stability of equipment operation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a turbine mechanical cleaning system, comprising an air supply device, a flushing device, and a discharge device. The air supply device supplies air to the flushing device, which flushes the volute and the air inlet, and a gap is left between the flushing device and the impeller. The discharge device discharges the flushing gas from the volute and the air inlet box. The flushing device includes an air inlet flushing unit and a volute flushing unit. The air inlet flushing unit flushes from the impeller inlet direction and includes a first air inlet pipe, an inlet nozzle, and a support assembly. A support assembly is installed on a guide vane inside the air intake box. The support assembly supports the first air intake pipe and the inlet nozzle. The two sides of the first air intake pipe are respectively connected to the inlet nozzle and the first delivery pipe of the air supply device. The first air intake pipe and the inlet nozzle are located inside the air intake box. The volute flushing unit is used to flush from the outlet direction of the impeller. The volute flushing unit includes a second air intake pipe and a flushing nozzle. The two sides of the second air intake pipe are respectively connected to the flushing nozzle and the second delivery pipe of the air supply device. The second air intake pipe is installed on the volute. The flushing nozzle is inserted into the volute.
[0006] Furthermore, the discharge device includes an air intake box discharge unit and a volute discharge unit. The air intake box discharge unit is connected to the bottom of the air intake box, and the volute discharge unit is connected to the bottom of the volute. Both the air intake box discharge unit and the volute discharge unit include a drain pipe and a drain valve. The two sides of the drain pipe are respectively connected to the drain valve and the bottom of the volute or the bottom of the air intake box.
[0007] Furthermore, the first air intake pipe includes a first flushing flange, a first connecting pipe, a first connecting block, a second connecting pipe, and a union joint arranged in sequence. One side of the first connecting pipe is connected to the first flushing flange, and one end of the first conveying pipe is fixed with the second flushing flange. The first flushing flange and the second flushing flange are fixed together. The two sides of the first connecting block are detachably connected to the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, respectively. The two sides of the union joint are detachably connected to the second connecting pipe and the inlet nozzle, respectively.
[0008] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support plate, a pad plate, and a surrounding plate. The surrounding plate has an arc-shaped protrusion in the middle, which matches the shape of the inlet nozzle. The lower sides of the surrounding plate and the inlet nozzle are located on the pad plate, and the surrounding plate is connected to the pad plate. The two sides of the support plate are respectively connected to the pad plate and the flow guide.
[0009] Furthermore, the second intake pipe includes a third flushing flange, a third connecting pipe, and a second connecting block. One side of the third connecting pipe is connected to the third flushing flange, and one end of the second delivery pipe is fixed with a fourth flushing flange. The third flushing flange is fixed to the fourth flushing flange. The two sides of the second connecting block are detachably connected to the third connecting pipe and the flushing nozzle, respectively, and the second connecting block is fixed to the volute.
[0010] Furthermore, a first drain flange is fixed to one side of the drain pipe, and a second drain flange is fixed to one side of the drain valve; the first drain flange and the second drain flange are fixed together.
[0011] Furthermore, both the inlet nozzle and the flushing nozzle have a strip-shaped outlet structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the detachable connection is a threaded connection.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the volute is provided with a sunken cavity, and the sewage pipe of the volute discharge unit is connected to the sunken cavity.
[0014] Furthermore, the volute flushing unit is provided in two sets, with the two sets of volute flushing units located on both sides of the volute respectively.
[0015] The working principle and beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: Due to the certain gap between the flushing device and the impeller, flushing operations can be performed even during equipment operation. When the impeller needs flushing, all valves in the entire cleaning system are opened, and gas enters the flushing device through the air supply device to flush the impeller. The inlet flushing unit flushes from the impeller inlet direction, and the volute flushing unit flushes from two angles towards the outlet direction of the rotating impeller, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the impeller. Adhesives and exhaust gas flushed off the impeller are discharged from the equipment through the exhaust device. The inlet box exhaust unit discharges exhaust gas and contaminants generated in the inlet box, and the volute exhaust unit discharges exhaust gas and contaminants generated in the volute. Since the volute outlet is horizontal, a sunken cavity is set at the bottom to facilitate the collection of surrounding exhaust gas and contaminants for smooth discharge, ensuring smooth airflow in the system. This technical solution has advantages such as completeness, stability, flexibility, and high efficiency. Using it ensures that adhesives on the impeller are removed during normal equipment operation without affecting the normal operation of the system, saving maintenance time and costs, and improving the reliability and stability of equipment operation.

[0033] The specific implementation process is as follows:
[0034] Because there is a certain gap between the flushing device and the impeller 12, the equipment can also perform flushing operations during operation.

The air inlet flushing unit 10 flushes from the inlet direction of the impeller 12, and the volute flushing unit 6 flushes from two angles towards the outlet direction of the rotating impeller 12, thereby achieving comprehensive cleaning of the impeller 12. The adhering substances and exhaust gas flushed off the impeller 12 are discharged from the equipment through the discharge device. The air inlet box discharge unit 9 discharges the exhaust gas and dirt generated in the air inlet box 5, and the volute discharge unit 7 discharges the exhaust gas and dirt generated in the volute 4. Since the outlet of the volute 4 is horizontal, a sunken cavity 8 is set at the bottom to facilitate the collection of surrounding exhaust gas and dirt for smooth discharge, ensuring smooth airflow in the system. This technical solution has advantages such as completeness, stability, flexibility, and high efficiency. Using it can ensure that the adhering substances on the impeller 12 are removed during normal operation of the equipment without affecting the normal operation of the system, saving maintenance time and costs, and improving the reliability and stability of equipment operation.
