Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rotary kiln sealing, in particular to a rotary kiln with a flexible labyrinth sealing structure. Background Art
[0002] When rotary kilns are used in cement production, ensuring that materials do not leak when entering and exiting the hopper is crucial. Existing rotary kilns utilize dynamic sealing technologies, such as labyrinth seals and fish-scale laminated seals, because the furnace tubes rotate while the hopper remains stationary.
[0003] Traditional sealing technology is difficult to adapt to the expansion of the rotary kiln. The expansion of the rotary kiln body will cause varying degrees of damage to the traditional sealing structure. When using labyrinth sealing technology to seal the rotary kiln, gaps must be reserved in advance. These gaps are relatively large in the initial operation of the rotary kiln, resulting in poor initial sealing effect, a longer preheating time for the rotary kiln, and increased preheating costs. When using flexible sealing technologies such as fish-scale laminated seals, they will become tightened due to the radial expansion of the rotary kiln body, increasing friction between them and the rotary kiln body, shortening their service life and requiring frequent replacement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0045] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0046] See also Figures 1-10The present invention provides a technical solution: a rotary kiln with a flexible labyrinth sealing structure, comprising a rotary kiln body 9 and a smoke chamber shell 1, and a sealing structure 2 installed between the rotary kiln body 9 and the smoke chamber shell 1. It should be noted that the rotary kiln body 9 is the portion of the rotary kiln in the prior art without the end sealing structure. The specific structure is prior art and will not be described in detail. The sealing structure 2 comprises: an outer shell 21 fixed to the smoke chamber shell 1, a support flange 22 fixedly connected to the rotary kiln body 9, the support flange 22 being rotatably arranged relative to the outer shell 21, and a friction sleeve 23 having an end extending into the outer shell 21 fixed to the outer wall of the support flange 22; the outer shell 21 is welded to the smoke chamber shell 1 as a whole through a reinforcing rib plate;
[0047] The sealing structure 2 further includes:
[0048] A movable labyrinth ring 24 and a fixed labyrinth ring 25 . The movable labyrinth ring 24 is mounted on one end of the friction sleeve 23 extending into the housing 21 . The fixed labyrinth ring 25 is fixed on one end of the housing 21 close to the friction sleeve 23 .
[0049] The flexible seal 26 has one side fixed to the end of the housing 21 and the other side pressed against the side wall of the friction sleeve 23;
[0050] The balancing ring 27 is elastically and slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 21;
[0051] The balancing column 28 is fixed on the side wall of the balancing ring 27 and is used to keep the distance between the balancing ring 27 and the movable labyrinth ring 24 unchanged when the rotary kiln body 9 is axially extended;
[0052] The length of the balancing column 28 can be selected according to actual conditions. In the initial state, the rotary kiln body 9 is at room temperature, and the rotary kiln body 9 is in a natural state in both radial and axial directions. The gap between the ends of the movable labyrinth ring 24 and the fixed labyrinth ring 25 is large, which makes the sealing effect of the sealing structure 2 poor. The balancing column 28 can keep the distance between the balancing ring 27 and the movable labyrinth ring 24 unchanged, ensuring the sealing effect of the movable labyrinth ring 24 and the fixed labyrinth ring 25 in the initial state, thereby reducing the sealing pressure of the flexible seal 26 in the initial state; wear-resistant heat-insulating material, such as inorganic fiber felt, volcanic rock, etc., is provided between the balancing ring 27 and the shell 21 to reduce heat transfer and reduce the impact of temperature on the shell 21;
[0053] Adjusting assembly 3, reducing pressure on flexible seal 26 according to the movement distance of balance ring 27;
[0054] Specifically, when the rotary kiln is working, the temperature inside the rotary kiln body 9 gradually increases with time, and the rotary kiln body 9 expands axially and radially due to the heat;
[0055] When the rotary kiln body 9 expands axially, the end of the rotary kiln body 9 drives the friction sleeve 23 to move through the support flange 22, and the friction sleeve 23 drives the movable labyrinth ring 24 to move. The movable labyrinth ring 24 pushes the adjustment member 27 to move through the balance column 28, thereby compensating for the axial expansion of the rotary kiln body 9, preventing the rotary kiln body 9 from being damaged due to the increase in length, and maintaining the sealing effect of the sealing structure 2;
[0056] The rotary kiln body 9 expands radially. Since the radial expansion and axial expansion of the rotary kiln body 9 are in equal proportion, in the present invention, the adjustment component 3 synchronously reduces the pressure on the flexible seal 26 according to the movement distance of the balance ring 27 to cope with the increased diameter of the rotary kiln body 9, thereby avoiding excessive pressure between the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23 due to the radial expansion of the rotary kiln body 9, resulting in excessive friction between the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23, accelerating the wear of the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23, and reducing the service life of the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23.
[0057] In summary, in the present invention, the balance column 28 is used to ensure that the gap between the balance block 27 and the movable labyrinth ring 24 remains consistent, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the movable labyrinth ring 24 and the fixed labyrinth ring 25 in the initial state and reducing the sealing pressure of the flexible seal 26 in the initial state; at the same time, the adjustment component 3 also synchronously reduces the pressure on the flexible seal 26 according to the movement distance of the balance ring 27 to cope with the increased diameter of the rotary kiln body 9 and avoid excessive pressure between the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23 due to the radial expansion of the rotary kiln body 9, resulting in excessive friction between the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23, accelerating the wear of the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23, and reducing the service life of the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23;
[0058] The gap between the lifting scoop 6 and the blocking sleeve 7 performs the first level of blocking. The second level of blocking is the channel formed by the movable labyrinth ring 24, the fixed labyrinth ring 25, the housing 21 and the friction sleeve 23. The flexible seal 26 fits tightly with the friction sleeve 23, and the entire friction sleeve 23 is wrapped therein, performing the third level of blocking.
[0059] The sealing structure 2 can flexibly absorb the expansion; the movable labyrinth ring 24, the material lifting spoon 6, the support flange 22, the friction sleeve 23 connected to the rotary kiln body 9, and the outer shell 21 and the material blocking sleeve 7 connected to the smoke chamber are not in direct contact. Only the balance columns 2828 abut against the movable labyrinth ring 24. The contact area of the end of the balance column 28 is very small compared to the side wall of the movable labyrinth ring 24, and the heat transfer that can be carried out is negligible. The radial gap between the material lifting spoon 6 and the material blocking sleeve 7, the axial gap between the material lifting spoon 6 and the outer shell 21, and the radial and axial gaps between the movable labyrinth ring 24 and the outer shell 21 can absorb the expansion of the rotary kiln body 9 in all directions;
[0060] Due to the hollow structure design of the sealing structure 2, the internal air can play a buffering role, and the internal air will not be affected by the long-term operation of the rotary kiln or high-temperature deformation, affecting the service life. The heat insulation plate 8 protects the entire device from the inside to reduce the erosion of high-temperature airflow; secondly, the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23 are at room temperature, and the service life is extended at a low ambient temperature.
[0061] As a further solution of the present invention, the adjustment component 3 includes:
[0062] The bracket 31 and the hollow mounting frame 32 are both fixedly mounted on the outside of the housing 21 , and the hollow mounting frame 32 is used to fix the flexible sealing member 26 ;
[0063] The fastening blocks 33 are arranged in a circumferential array outside the flexible seal 26 and are all elastically slidably connected to the bracket 31;
[0064] A trigger member 34 is elastically slidably disposed on the side wall of the bracket 31 and is used to adjust the elastic force between the fastening block 33 and the bracket 31;
[0065] The crossbar 35 is fixed to the end of the trigger member 34;
[0066] The transmission member 4 synchronously drives the trigger member 34 to move according to the moving distance of the balance ring 27, so as to adjust the elastic force between the fastening block 33 and the bracket 31;
[0067] The trigger members 34 are all fixedly connected to adjustment springs 36, and the adjustment springs 36 are all fixedly connected to adjustment members 37 slidably arranged with the bracket 31. The side wall of the adjustment member 37 is fixedly provided with an adjustment pin 38. The trigger member 34 is fixedly provided with a trigger angle 39, and the trigger angle 39 is provided with an adjustment slot 30 for driving the adjustment pin 38 to rise and fall.
[0068] The transmission member 4 includes:
[0069] The transmission rod 41 is rotatably disposed in the housing 21 and is slidably disposed with the balance ring 27;
[0070] A driving slot 42 and a driving pin 43, wherein the driving slot 42 is formed on the side wall of the transmission rod 41 and the driving pin 43 is fixed on the balance ring 27;
[0071] The driving wheel 44 and the driven wheel 45 are both rotatably mounted in the hollow mounting frame 32. The driving wheel 44 is fixed to the end of the transmission rod 41. A driving ring 46 for transmission is provided between the driving wheel 44 and the driven wheel 45.
[0072] The rocker 47 is rotatably arranged outside the flexible seal 26, and its end contacts the crossbar 35;
[0073] The connecting member 48 passes through the flexible sealing member 26 and is connected to the driven wheel 45 and the rocker 47 at both ends respectively;
[0074] Specifically, when the kiln body 9 of the rotary kiln expands axially, the balance ring 27 drives the driving pin 43 to move synchronously, the driving pin 43 drives the transmission rod 41 to rotate through the driving groove 42, the transmission rod 41 drives the driving wheel 44 at the end to rotate, the driving wheel 44 drives the driven wheel 45 to rotate through the driving ring 46, the driven wheel 45 drives the rocker 47 to rotate through the connecting piece 48, the rocker 47 end drives the trigger member 34 to move by squeezing the cross bar 35, the trigger member 34 pushes the trigger angle 39 into the bracket 31, and the trigger angle 39 drives the adjusting pin 38 away from the bracket 31 through the adjusting groove 30. The adjusting member 37 moves away from the fastening block 33, and the adjusting member 37 rises accordingly. As the adjusting member 37 rises, the distance between the adjusting member 37 and the fastening block 33 increases, and the length of the adjusting spring 36 located between the adjusting member 37 and the fastening block 33 increases. The adjusting spring 36 releases part of its elastic force, reducing the thrust on the fastening block 33, thereby reducing the friction force of the flexible seal 26 on the friction sleeve 23, so as to cope with the problem that the radial expansion of the rotary kiln body 9 causes the diameter to increase, resulting in an increase in the friction force between the flexible seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23, and accelerating the wear of the seal 26 and the friction sleeve 23.
[0075] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of transmission rods 41, drive wheels 44, driven wheels 45, rocking arms 47, cross bars 35, and trigger members 34 are arranged in a circular array on both sides of the flexible seal 26. A cavity 5 for mounting the drive wheels 44, driven wheels 45, and rocking arms 47 is provided in the hollow mounting frame 32. The rocking arms 47 are tilted. When the rocking arms 47 rotate, they gradually press the flexible seal 26, thereby increasing the pressure between the flexible seal 26 and the hollow mounting frame 32.
[0076] The flexible seal 26 is a wearing part. In order to facilitate replacement, the flexible seal 26 is made of multiple pieces. The flexible seal 26 is fixed to the rotary kiln by bolts and nuts. As the rotary kiln body 9 expands radially, the side of the flexible seal 26 in contact with the rotary kiln body 9 moves away from the axis of the rotary kiln body 9, and the other side of the flexible seal 26 gradually rises (such as Figure 10 As shown), resulting in reduced sealing effect of the flexible seal 26;
[0077] Specifically, the driven wheel 45 inside the cavity 5 drives the rocker 47 outside the flexible seal 26 to rotate through the connecting piece 48. Since the rocker 47 is tilted, as the expansion of the rotary kiln body 9 increases, the rotation angle of the rocker 47 increases, and the pressing force of the rocker 47 on the flexible seal 26 increases, ensuring that the flexible seal 26 and the hollow mounting frame 32 are always in a fit state, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the flexible seal 26.
[0078] As a further solution of the present invention, a material lifting scoop 6 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the support flange 22. The material lifting scoop 6 is a U-shaped structure. A material blocking sleeve 7 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the housing 21. The end of the material blocking sleeve 7 is flush with the inner end surface of the material lifting scoop 6.
[0079] Specifically, the lifting spoon 6 can not only receive the material, but also work together with the material blocking sleeve 7 to perform the first sealing on the material.
[0080] As a further solution of the present invention, the flexible seal 26 is made of high temperature and wear resistant toughness steel mesh inside and outside, and the middle of the flexible seal 26 is made of flexible graphite fiber; the high temperature resistance and wear resistance of the flexible seal 26 are improved.
[0081] As a further solution of the present invention, a heat insulation plate 8 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the blocking sleeve 7, and the heat insulation plate 8 includes a heat preservation layer and a high temperature resistant layer;
[0082] Specifically, the retaining sleeve 7 can absorb the temperature of the gas entering the sealing structure 2 , thereby protecting the sealing structure, especially the flexible sealing member 26 .
[0083] The installation sequence of the sealing structure follows the installation sequence from inside to outside.
