Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of steam injection device technology, and more particularly to an adjustable steam injector. Background Technology
[0002] Steam ejectors, as fluid machinery and mixing reaction devices that utilize jet turbulence and diffusion for mass and energy transfer, are widely used in industrial production. Traditional steam ejectors mainly consist of a nozzle, throat, diffuser, and suction chamber. High-pressure gas is ejected at high speed from the nozzle, entraining low-pressure gas around the nozzle. The two gas streams mix and are pressurized in the mixing chamber and diffuser, thereby increasing the pressure of the low-pressure gas entering the ejector from the suction port. However, traditional steam ejectors have several problems in practical applications, such as low efficiency, high power steam consumption, and ejection performance greatly affected by changes in external steam parameters.
[0003] Especially in industrial production, changes in external steam parameters, particularly significant variations in exhaust steam flow, cause drastic changes in the ejector's entrainment performance, making it impossible to achieve the ejector's designed optimal entrainment performance, i.e., minimum power steam consumption.

Specifically, the first drive transmission mechanism of the drive mechanism slides within the ejector chamber, nozzle tube, mixing chamber, and diffuser tube, thereby changing the flow cross-section or shape inside these components, and thus adjusting the flow rate, pressure, and flow volume of the steam flow. The adjusted steam flow mixes with the ejector fluid (such as low-pressure steam or water) in the mixing chamber to form a uniform mixed fluid. Subsequently, the mixed fluid is diffused through the diffuser tube to increase the pressure and output the steam.

[0028] 2. Improved Energy Efficiency: By precisely adjusting the parameters of the steam flow, the operating state of the steam ejector can be optimized, reducing energy loss and improving energy efficiency. Furthermore, dynamic adjustment ensures that the steam ejector maintains high operating efficiency under various conditions.
[0029] 3. Easy to maintain: The design of the adjustment and drive mechanisms makes the internal structure of the steam ejector relatively simple, facilitating maintenance and repair. Furthermore, the dynamic adjustment function reduces performance degradation caused by flow channel blockage or wear, extending the service life of the steam ejector.
[0030] 4. Wide range of applications: Due to its advantages such as flexible adjustment and high energy efficiency, the adjustable steam ejector provided in this embodiment of the invention can be widely used in various occasions that require steam injection, such as steam turbines, steam compressors, steam heaters, etc., and has broad market prospects and application value.

The adjusted steam flow mixes with the ejector fluid (such as low-pressure steam or water) in the mixing chamber 22 to form a uniform mixed fluid. Subsequently, the mixed fluid is diffused through the diffuser body 23 to increase the pressure and output.

[0048] 2. Improved Energy Efficiency: By precisely adjusting the parameters of the steam flow, the operating state of the steam ejector can be optimized, reducing energy loss and improving energy efficiency. Furthermore, dynamic adjustment ensures that the steam ejector maintains high operating efficiency under various conditions.
[0049] 3. Easy to maintain: The design of the regulating mechanism 3 and the drive mechanism 4 makes the internal structure of the steam ejector relatively simple, facilitating maintenance and repair. Furthermore, the dynamic adjustment function reduces performance degradation caused by flow channel blockage or wear, extending the service life of the steam ejector.
[0050] 4. Wide range of applications: Due to its advantages such as flexible adjustment and high energy efficiency, the adjustable steam ejector provided in this embodiment of the invention can be widely used in various occasions that require steam injection, such as steam turbines, steam compressors, steam heaters, etc., and has broad market prospects and application value.

[0052] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the right end of the power steam chamber 101 is fixedly connected to the steam input pipe 41, and the output end of the steam input pipe 41 is fixedly connected to the top of the ejector cavity 1. A solenoid valve 411 is fixedly installed on the steam input pipe 41. The power steam chamber 101 and the steam input pipe 41 are sealed by a first sealing ring 42. The upper and lower walls of the ejector cavity 1 are symmetrically provided with first sliding grooves 102 in the left and right directions.
[0053] The circular throat 21 inside the nozzle tube 2 is on the same axis as the outlet of the ejector cavity 1. The right end of the nozzle tube 2 is inserted horizontally into the mixing cavity 22. The bottom end of the mixing cavity 22 is fixedly connected to the air input pipe 221. The air inlet end of the air input pipe 221 is fixedly installed with a blower 223. The solenoid valve 222 is fixedly installed on the air input pipe 221.
[0054] The right end of the mixing chamber 22 is fixedly connected to a first diffuser tube 231 along the left-right direction. A pair of second sliding grooves 2311 along the left-right direction are opened on the front and rear side walls of the first diffuser tube 231. The right end of the first diffuser tube 231 is bolted to a second diffuser tube 232. A pair of third sliding grooves 2321 along the left-right direction are opened on the front and rear side walls of the second diffuser tube 232. A rubber connecting tube 233 is fixedly installed at the connection between the first diffuser tube 231 and the second diffuser tube 232. The right end of the second diffuser tube 232 is fixedly connected to a circular tube 234. A third switching mechanism 5 is fixedly installed inside the circular tube 234.
[0055] The third switching mechanism 5 includes: a housing 51, the top of the circular tube 234 is fixedly connected to the housing 51, the middle of the housing 51 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 52, the center of the crossbar 52 is fixedly connected to the servo motor 53, the front end of the output shaft of the servo motor 53 is fixedly connected to the cam 54, the bottom of the cam 54 is pressed against the baffle 55, the bottom end of the baffle 55 is fixedly connected to the vertical rod 56, the vertical rod 56 slides up and down through the top wall of the circular tube 234, the upper section of the vertical rod 56 is fitted with a spring 57, the bottom end of the vertical rod 56 is fixedly connected to a perforated plate 58, and a perforated plate 59 is fixedly installed inside the circular tube 234 on the left side of the perforated plate 58.
[0056] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0057] Working principle:
[0058] Based on Example 1, Example 2 adds control mechanisms for the steam input pipe 41 and the air input pipe 221, as well as a further refined design for the mixing chamber 22 and the diffuser 23. Steam enters the power steam chamber 101 through the solenoid valve 411 on the steam input pipe 41, and then enters the ejector chamber 1. Simultaneously, air enters the mixing chamber 22 through the blower 223 and the solenoid valve 222 on the air input pipe 221. The design of the nozzle pipe 2 ensures effective mixing of the steam flow and the ejector fluid (such as air). The mixed fluid enters the first diffuser 231 and the second diffuser 232. The position of the perforated plate 58 is adjusted by the adjusting mechanism 3 (such as the cam 54 and baffle 55 mechanism driven by the servo motor 53 in the third switching mechanism 5), thereby further adjusting the pressure and flow rate of the mixed fluid.
[0059] When the third switching mechanism 5 is working, the servo motor 53 drives the cam 54 to rotate. The rotating cam 54 presses against the baffle 55 and the vertical rod 56 to slide up and down. The spring 57 provides the reset elastic force. When the vertical rod 56 slides up and down, it drives the perforated plate 58 to slide up and down. The vent holes on the perforated plate 58 and the perforated plate 59 reciprocate to connect, controlling the pressure and flow rate of the mixed fluid. The servo motor 53 can precisely control the area of connection and misalignment of the vent holes on the perforated plate 58 and the perforated plate 59.
[0060] Beneficial effects:
[0061] Precise control: The input of steam and air can be precisely controlled by solenoid valve 411 and solenoid valve 222, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the parameters of the mixed fluid.
[0062] Enhanced mixing effect: The design of nozzle tube 2 and mixing chamber 22 optimizes the mixing effect of steam and ejector fluid, and improves the uniformity and stability of the mixed fluid.
[0063] Flexible adjustment: The design of the third switching mechanism 5 allows for flexible adjustment of the flow channel within the diffuser body 23, further improving the adaptability and flexibility of the steam ejector.
[0064] Improved energy efficiency: By precisely controlling the input and adjusting the flow path, the working state of the steam ejector can be optimized, reducing energy loss and improving energy efficiency.
[0065] Example 3
[0066] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes: a first adjustment cone 31, a second adjustment cone 32, and a third adjustment cone 33. The second adjustment cone 32 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 2311. The left wall of the ejector cavity 1 is rotatably connected to an axial bidirectional lead screw 425. The axes of the first adjustment cone 31 and the second adjustment cone 32 are respectively threaded to the opposite threaded sections of the bidirectional lead screw 425. The third adjustment cone 33 is slidably provided to the third sliding groove 2321. A second sealing ring 321 is fixedly connected to each of the first adjustment cone 31, the second adjustment cone 32, and the third adjustment cone 33.
[0067] The right end of the third adjusting cone 33 is fixedly connected to the first driving transmission mechanism 34. The first driving transmission mechanism 34 includes: an L-shaped push rod 341, the bottom right end of the L-shaped push rod 341 is fixedly connected to an internal threaded sleeve 342, a pair of left and right spaced mounting bearings 343 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the second diffuser tube 232, a sliding screw 344 is rotatably connected between the left and right mounting bearings 343, the sliding screw 344 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded sleeve 342, the right end of the sliding screw 344 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 345, the first bevel gear 345 meshes with a second bevel gear 346, the shaft of the second bevel gear 346 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the adjusting motor 347, and the adjusting motor 347 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the second diffuser tube 232.
[0068] The drive mechanism 4 includes: a rectangular frame 421, which is fixedly installed on the left side of the ejector cavity 1; a vertical drive motor 422 is fixedly installed on the top of the rectangular frame 421; a worm gear 423 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the drive motor 422; a transmission shaft 424 is rotatably connected to the center of the rectangular frame 421; the right end of the transmission shaft 424 is fixedly connected to a bidirectional lead screw 425; a worm wheel 426 is fixedly connected to the center of the transmission shaft 424; the worm wheel 426 meshes with the worm gear 423; and an adjustment handle 427 is fixedly connected to the left end of the transmission shaft 424.
[0069] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0070] Working principle:
[0071] Based on Example 1, Example 3 describes in detail the specific structure and operation of the adjustment mechanism 3 and the drive mechanism 4. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first adjustment cone 31, a second adjustment cone 32, and a third adjustment cone 33, which slide within their respective sliding grooves driven by a bidirectional lead screw 425 and a sliding lead screw 344, thereby changing the cross-section or shape of the flow channel. The drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 422 and a worm gear 423 and a worm wheel 426 transmission mechanism, as well as a drive mechanism 4 for the adjustment motor 347 and the sliding lead screw 344. It can also be manually adjusted using the adjustment handle 427. Together, they achieve precise control of the adjustment mechanism 3.
[0072] When the first drive transmission mechanism 34 is working, the regulating motor 347 runs and drives the second bevel gear 346 to rotate. The meshing transmission of the second bevel gear 346 causes the first bevel gear 345 and the sliding screw 344 to rotate synchronously in the mounting bearing 343. The rotation of the sliding screw 344 causes the internal threaded sleeve 342 and the L-shaped push rod 341 to move synchronously and push the third regulating cone 33 to slide left and right in the second diffuser tube 232 for adjustment.
[0073] When the drive mechanism 4 is working, the drive motor 422 runs and drives the worm 423 to rotate. The rotation of the worm 423 causes the worm wheel 426, the transmission shaft 424 and the double-acting screw 425 to rotate synchronously through meshing transmission. The rotation of the double-acting screw 425 causes the first adjusting cone 31 and the second adjusting cone 32 on the left and right sides to slide in opposite directions for adjustment.
[0074] Beneficial effects:
[0075] Precise adjustment: Through the drive of the bidirectional lead screw 425 and the sliding lead screw 344, the adjustment mechanism 3 can be precisely controlled, thereby precisely adjusting the cross-section or shape of the flow channel to meet different working requirements.
[0076] Compact structure: The design of the regulating mechanism 3 and the driving mechanism 4 makes the internal structure of the steam ejector more compact and reduces the space occupied.
[0077] Easy to maintain: The design of the adjustment mechanism 3 and the drive mechanism 4 is relatively simple, making them easy to maintain and repair.
[0078] Improved energy efficiency: By precisely adjusting the flow channel, the working state of the steam ejector can be optimized, reducing energy loss and improving energy efficiency.

[0086] The steam delivery unit is used to pressurize and deliver steam into the inlet chamber, which is achieved by a pressurizing fan.
[0087] An alarm is used to alert in abnormal situations.

[0089] The first calculation module includes:
[0090] Where: D S The diffusion coefficient of water vapor in the mixing chamber 22 of the steam ejector is measured within a specific time period; M is the gas molar mass of water vapor in the steam ejector; k l τ is the correction coefficient for water vapor flow friction resistance, with a value of 1.1; τ is the diameter of the water vapor liquefying into small droplets in the mixing chamber 22; P1 is the water vapor partial pressure detected by the steam detection module at the inlet of the mixing chamber 22 far from the air input pipe; P2 is the water vapor partial pressure detected by the steam detection module at the inlet of the ejector chamber 1 entering the mixing chamber 22; R is the universal gas constant. m is the inertial correction factor for water vapor flow. t T is the coefficient of mass change of liquefied droplets per unit time. c T0 represents the steam temperature inside the mixing chamber 22 at the end of the detection period, and T0 represents the steam temperature inside the mixing chamber 22 at the beginning of the detection period. max The maximum operating temperature of the inner wall of the mixing chamber 22, detected by the temperature detection module, is T. min The lowest operating temperature of the inner wall of the mixing chamber 22 detected by the temperature detection module; ln is the natural logarithm, π is pi (3.14), l is the flow resistance error adjustment coefficient (0.2), N is the total number of detection points, G j The steam detection module detects the partial pressure fluctuation coefficient at the j-th detection point.
[0091] The comparison and judgment unit compares the water vapor diffusion coefficient in the mixing chamber 22 of the steam ejector within the detection time period calculated by the first calculation module with its threshold. When the water vapor diffusion coefficient is greater than its threshold, the control system controls the steam delivery unit to reduce the output power of the pressurizing fan, thereby reducing the flow rate of steam entering the ejector chamber 1 and thus reducing the rate at which waste heat of flue gas is converted into water vapor heat energy. When the water vapor diffusion coefficient is less than its threshold, the control system controls the steam delivery unit to increase the output power of the pressurizing fan. When the water vapor diffusion coefficient is still not within the threshold after one adjustment, the alarm will sound an abnormal alarm.
[0092] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows:
[0093] Working principle:
[0094] Based on Example 1, Example 4 adds an intelligent detection and adjustment system. This system uses multiple detection modules (such as a first temperature detection module, a second temperature detection module, and a steam detection module) to monitor the working status of the steam ejector in real time, and uses a first calculation module to calculate the water vapor diffusion coefficient in the mixing chamber 22. The comparison and judgment unit compares the calculated water vapor diffusion coefficient with its threshold value, and the control system controls the output power of the steam delivery unit based on the comparison result, thereby adjusting the flow rate of steam entering the ejector chamber 1 and the rate at which waste heat from the flue gas is converted into water vapor thermal energy.
[0095] Beneficial effects:
[0096] Intelligent control: The introduction of an intelligent detection and adjustment system makes the control of steam ejectors more intelligent and automated, improving work efficiency and accuracy.
[0097] Real-time monitoring: Real-time monitoring by multiple detection modules can promptly detect abnormalities in the operation of the steam ejector and avoid potential safety hazards.
[0098] Optimization and adjustment: By accurately calculating the water vapor diffusion coefficient and adjusting it according to its threshold, the working state of the steam ejector can be optimized, improving energy efficiency and stability.
[0099] Enhanced safety: Intelligent control can monitor the working status of the steam ejector in real time, promptly detect and handle abnormal situations, thus improving equipment safety.
