[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of boiler four-tube leakage detection sensors, in particular to a circulating fluidized bed boiler four-tube leakage detection device and method. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of circulating fluidized bed boilers, the leakage of the four boiler tubes (including water-cooled wall tubes, superheater tubes, reheater tubes and economizer tubes) has always been an important factor affecting the safe and stable operation of the boiler. Timely and accurate detection of the leakage of the four boiler tubes is of great significance for preventing boiler accidents and ensuring production safety.

[0003] At present, most of the boiler four-tube leak detection sensors commonly used in the market are installed by cable ties. Although this installation method is simple and easy, it is inconvenient to adjust. Once the sensor installation position is determined, it is difficult to make fine adjustments, which limits the flexible application of the sensor in different pipes and locations.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the problems of inconvenient installation and adjustment and single correspondence of the existing boiler four-tube leakage detection sensor, it is necessary to develop a new circulating fluidized bed boiler four-tube leakage detection device and method to improve the flexibility and detection efficiency of the sensor and reduce the installation and maintenance costs.

[0037] Furthermore, a limiting groove 611 is provided at the top of the mounting frame 6 , and the limiting groove cooperates with a fixing screw 612 to fix the first sliding block 7 .

[0038] Furthermore, the top ends of the multiple groups of first sliding blocks 7 are all movably mounted with fixing screws 612. By adjusting the tightness of the screws 612, the position of the sliding block can be adjusted or fixed, providing a flexible installation and adjustment method so that the sensor can be accurately positioned at any position on the pipeline as needed.

[0039] Furthermore, second limiting rings 812 are fixedly installed on both sides of the adjustment ring 811. The second limiting rings 812 are used to limit the rotation range of the adjustment ring to prevent it from over-rotating or loosening, thereby ensuring that the sensor can be accurately adjusted to a predetermined extension length.

[0040] Furthermore, the outer surface of the connecting rod 511 is threaded, and a first limiting ring 512 is movably mounted on the outer surface of the connecting rod 511. The threaded connection enables the first limiting ring 512 to move and be fixed at any position on the connecting rod 511, thereby fastening the second sliding block 513.

[0041] Furthermore, the connecting plates 3 are fixed to each other by bolts 4 and nuts 5. The bolts 4 and nuts 5 provide a simple and reliable connection method, reducing the difficulty of assembly and disassembly of the device.

[0042] A method for detecting four-tube leakage of a circulating fluidized bed boiler comprises the following steps:

[0043] 1) The detection device is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the boiler pipe through two sets of first mounting rings 1 and second mounting rings 2;

[0044] 2) adjusting the position of the second sliding block 513 in the sliding groove 111 to change the specific position of the mounting bracket 6 on the pipeline;

[0045] 3) Determine the detection point of the acoustic wave sensor 8 by sliding the first sliding block 7 on the mounting frame 6 and adjusting the fixing screw 612;

[0046] 4) Rotate the adjustment ring 811 to adjust the extension length of the acoustic wave sensor 8 so that it is in close contact with the outer surface of the pipe;

[0047] 5) Use the acoustic wave sensor 8 to capture the acoustic wave signal generated by the leakage in the pipeline, and after processing, accurately indicate the location and degree of leakage; before detection, preheat and calibrate the acoustic wave sensor 8 to ensure its working stability and accuracy;

[0048] 6) During the detection process, the temperature of the outer wall of the pipeline is monitored in real time using a temperature sensor to correct the error of the acoustic signal caused by temperature changes;

[0049] 7) Combined with visual inspection, monitor the outer wall of the pipeline to assist in identifying the appearance characteristics of the leakage point, such as corrosion, cracks, etc.;

[0050] 8) After detecting a leakage signal, the alarm system will be activated immediately to notify the operator through sound and light alarms or remote communication so that timely measures can be taken.

[0051] Working principle: The four-tube leakage detection device for circulating fluidized bed boiler is tightly fixed on the outer surface of the boiler pipe through two sets of first mounting rings 1 and second mounting rings 2. The design of these two sets of mounting rings ensures that the device can be firmly attached to the pipe and is not easy to fall off or shift.

[0052] During the installation process, the second sliding blocks 513 between the two sets of first mounting rings 1 and second mounting rings 2 play a key role. These second sliding blocks 513 can slide freely in the slide grooves 111 opened on one side of the first mounting ring 1 and the second mounting ring 2. By adjusting the position of the second sliding blocks 513 in the slide grooves 111, the specific position of the mounting frame 6 on the pipeline can be flexibly changed to adapt to different pipeline layouts or detection requirements.

[0053] The mounting frame 6 is a supporting structure for the acoustic wave sensor 8, and its design is also highly flexible. On the inner wall of the mounting frame 6, multiple sets of first sliding blocks 7 are movably mounted. These first sliding blocks 7 can slide freely on the track of the mounting frame 6, thereby allowing the acoustic wave sensor 8 to detect at different positions of the pipeline. The top of the first sliding block 7 is movably mounted with a fixing screw 612. By tightening or loosening these screws, the position of the first sliding block 7 can be fixed or adjusted, thereby determining the detection point of the acoustic wave sensor 8.

[0054] The acoustic wave sensor 8 is mounted on the first sliding block 7 through the adjusting ring 811. The inner wall and the circular through groove of the adjusting ring 811 are both provided with threads, so that the acoustic wave sensor 8 can rotate in the adjusting ring 811 and adjust its extension length. This design allows one end of the acoustic wave sensor 8 to be tightly pressed against the outer surface of the pipe, ensuring that the sound waves can be accurately and effectively transmitted to the sensor.

[0055] In addition, the outer surface of the connecting rod 511 is also provided with threads, and a first limiting ring 512 is movably installed. By rotating the first limiting ring 512, the positions of the second sliding block 513 and the connecting rod 511 can be further fixed, thereby enhancing the stability of the device.

[0056] The connecting plates 3 are fixed to each other by bolts 4 and nuts 5. This connection method is simple and reliable, and is convenient for assembly and disassembly of the device.

[0057] During the detection process, the acoustic sensor 8 captures the acoustic wave signals generated by the leakage in the pipeline. After being processed, these signals can accurately indicate the location and degree of leakage. In this way, the device can realize real-time monitoring and early warning of four-tube leakage of circulating fluidized bed boilers, thereby improving the safety and reliability of boiler operation.

[0058] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
