Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steam generating equipment, in particular to a multi-layer tower steam generator. Background Art
[0002] A steam generator, commonly known as a boiler, is a mechanical device that uses the thermal energy of fuel or other energy sources to heat water into hot water or steam. Steam generators are widely used in garment factories, dry cleaners, restaurants, steamed bun shops, canteens, bean product factories and other places.
[0003] Steam generators have different specifications. The Regulations on Safety Supervision of Special Equipment have set limits on boilers, classifying boilers with a volume greater than or equal to 30 liters into the category of special equipment, and placing relatively strict limits on their production and use. Small liner boilers with a volume less than 30 liters do not belong to special equipment and are not under the management of the technical supervision department, which saves installation and use costs to a certain extent.
[0004] In some small restaurants, steamed bun shops, dry cleaners and other application places, small equipment below 30 liters has more advantages than boilers above 30 liters. From installation, use to later maintenance, including restrictive conditions on the site and other comprehensive comparisons, boilers below 30 liters are the best choice. However, there are some shortcomings in actual use, such as the reduction in capacity leading to a reduction in steam volume, and the miniaturization of equipment will also have certain shortcomings in the heat utilization of fuel, and it is impossible to achieve the optimal combustion heat utilization, resulting in fuel and heat loss. These problems are the most practical and difficult to optimize difficulties faced by current miniaturized boilers. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention is a multi-layer tower steam generator, which is designed in an overall manner of stacking multiple layers of annular shells. An annular air flow channel is provided at the center of the shell, and the air flow channels corresponding to each layer of the shell are interconnected. In addition, a water replenishment tank is provided on the top of the shell, and the water replenishment tank replenishes water to the air flow channels in each layer of the shell and the gaps between the shells respectively. The fuel combustion part is arranged at the bottom of the shell, and heat enters the air flow channel from the center of the shell to flow, and heats the water in each layer of the shell to generate steam, thereby realizing segmented heating treatment. On the one hand, it ensures the maximum utilization of the heat generated by the fuel combustion, and on the other hand, the segmented heating form greatly reduces the amount of water required to be heated in different heat areas compared to the total amount of water, so that steam can be generated at the fastest speed and the required amount of steam can be maintained during heating.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A multi-layer tower steam generator comprises a plurality of shells stacked on each other, an air flow channel is arranged at the center of the shell, the air flow channels in each layer of the shell are interconnected and present a one-way through structure; a combustion part is arranged at the bottom of the shell, the combustion part is connected with the air flow channel; a water replenishment tank is also arranged on the top of the multi-layer stacked shell, a water replenishment pipe for replenishing water is arranged between the water replenishment tank and each layer of the shell, a steam pipe is also arranged between the shell and the water replenishment tank, and a steam outlet is arranged on the top of the water replenishment tank.
[0007] Furthermore, the shell is an annular structure, and the corresponding air flow channel is also an annular structure; the air flow channel is arranged at the center of the shell, and a baffle is provided on the air flow channel, and upper and lower flow channel openings are respectively provided above and below both sides of the baffle. In the stacked shells, the upper and lower flow channel openings correspond to each other and form a through shape; in the stacked shells, the upper flow channel opening corresponding to the top shell is arranged on the inner wall of the shell, and the lower flow channel opening corresponding to the bottom shell is arranged on the outer wall of the shell.
[0008] Furthermore, a downflow outlet arranged on the outer wall of the shell at the bottom is externally connected to a vertically arranged air outlet pipe, an annular preheating water tank is arranged on the outer wall of the air outlet pipe, and the preheating water tank is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet respectively, and the water outlet is connected to the water replenishing tank through a pipe.
[0009] Furthermore, each layer of the shell is interconnected by a welded connecting piece on the outer edge, and each layer of the shell is sealed by a sealing ring, which includes an annular sealing ring and a flow channel sealing ring. Two annular sealing rings are arranged between adjacent shells, corresponding to the outer edge and inner edge of the shell respectively, and the flow channel sealing ring corresponds to the adjacent lower flow channel and upper flow channel; the sealing ring is formed by surrounding a refractory rope coated with refractory mud.
[0010] The water supply pipes are provided with a number corresponding to the number of shell layers, the upper ends of the water supply pipes correspond to the side bottoms of the water supply tanks, and the lower ends of the water supply pipes correspond to the side bottoms of each layer of the shell; the steam pipes are provided with a number corresponding to the number of shell layers, the upper ends of the steam pipes correspond to the middle and upper parts of the water supply tanks and are located on the same horizontal plane, and the lower ends of the steam pipes correspond to the side tops of each layer of the shell.
[0011] Furthermore, the water supply pipe and steam pipe both adopt a two-section structure, corresponding to the water supply tank and the shell respectively, and the two-section structures of the water supply pipe and the steam pipe are connected by a connecting flange; the corresponding water supply pipe and steam pipe on the shell have the same length and are shorter.
[0012] Furthermore, the water replenishment tank is also an annular structure, and the water replenishment tank corresponds to the shell, the center of the water replenishment tank and the center of the shell are concentric, and the water replenishment tank and the topmost shell are connected by a connecting piece arranged on the outer edge and fixed by welding; a movably installed end cover is provided at the top of the center of the water replenishment tank; and a liquid level observation window is also provided on the outside of the water replenishment tank.
[0013] An open furnace is provided at the center of the combustion section, a feeding port and an ash cleaning port are provided in front of the combustion section, and a spiral feeding device and a fan are provided on the side of the section, which are respectively connected to the furnace from the side; the top and bottom shells of the combustion section are sealed by an annular sealing ring.
[0014] The present invention adopts the above technical solution to achieve the following beneficial effects: The device uses a multi-layer shell and a corresponding air flow channel design structure, which, on the one hand, increases the length of the air flow channel, so that the contact area between hot air and water is larger, thereby increasing the utilization rate of heat; on the other hand, the multi-layer structure forms a plurality of separate water storage cavities between each layer of the shell and the air flow channel. The water capacity of each layer of the water storage cavity is relatively dispersed, and the capacity of drinking water in each layer of the shell is reduced, thereby achieving a faster steam output effect. At the same time, the structure can also greatly reduce the total water storage capacity of the equipment, so that the total water capacity can be less than 30 liters while ensuring the steam volume.
[0015] Each layer of the shell is connected and fixed by connecting plates and sealed by refractory ropes coated with refractory cement. The purpose of this design is that when a section of the shell fails, the corresponding section can be quickly disassembled, repaired or replaced. Only part of it needs to be replaced or repaired, without disassembling the entire section. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] Furthermore, each layer of the shell 1 is interconnected by a welded connecting piece 101 on the outer edge, and each layer of the shell 1 is sealed by a sealing ring, which includes an annular sealing ring 1021 and a flow channel sealing ring 1022.
