Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an air-cooled ash hopper for a boiler flue, and particularly to an air-cooled ash hopper for a boiler flue applied to the field of boiler ash hoppers. Background Art
[0002] A cold ash hopper refers to a hopper-shaped furnace bottom structure formed by water-cooled walls at a certain inclination angle at the lower part of a pulverized coal boiler furnace, mainly used to cool and collect ash slag and discharge it in a solid state.
[0003] The water-cooled ash hopper has a high equipment cost, and after long-term use, the furnace ash accumulates on the inner wall of the furnace bottom, affecting the cooling effect of the furnace ash, and it is necessary to stop the machine to clean the furnace wall, which greatly reduces the working efficiency of the boiler. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the above-mentioned prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is the problem that the water-cooled ash hopper has a high cost and the working efficiency of the boiler is reduced due to the need for shutdown maintenance when cleaning the furnace wall.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air-cooled ash hopper for a boiler flue, including a hopper body. A plurality of uniformly distributed turning shafts are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the hopper body. A plurality of concentrating plates are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the plurality of turning shafts. The plurality of concentrating plates are all arranged in an inclined shape and distributed in a W shape. The top surface of the hopper body where the concentrating plates are located is set as an ash falling area, and the bottom surface of the hopper body where the concentrating plates are located is set as a cooling and cleaning area. A dust discharging groove and a cleaning groove are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hopper body. The dust discharging groove is located at the bottom end of the ash falling area, and the top end of the dust discharging groove is slidably connected to one end of the concentrating plate. The cleaning groove is located at the bottom end of the cooling and cleaning area. A guiding plate is fixedly connected between the adjacent dust discharging groove and the cleaning groove. The guiding plate is arranged in an inclined shape and in a V shape. A bronchus is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hopper body in the cooling and cleaning area. A plurality of uniformly distributed air spray nozzles are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bronchus, and the air spray nozzles face the concentrating plates.
[0006] As a further improvement of the present application, a caulking strip is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hopper body. The caulking strip is located between the tops of the adjacent concentrating plates. The concentrating plates are slidably connected to the caulking strip, and the top end of the caulking strip is arranged in an inclined shape; through the above setting, the caulking strip can play a role in supplementing the gap between the tops of the adjacent concentrating plates and prevent the furnace ash from leaking through the gap.
[0007] As a further improvement of the present application, one end of the caulking strip close to the concentrating plate and one end of the dust discharging groove close to the concentrating plate are both arranged in an arc shape. Both ends of the concentrating plate are arranged in an arc shape and fixedly connected with a sealing strip; through the above setting, the interference of the dust discharging groove and the caulking strip to the rotation of the concentrating plate is avoided, and at the same time, the sealing effect between the concentrating plate and the dust discharging groove and between the concentrating plate and the caulking strip is improved.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present application, a branch water pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bucket body close to the bronchus, and a plurality of uniformly distributed atomizing nozzles are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the branch water pipe; through the above settings, when the air nozzle blows ash, the atomizing nozzles spray water mist outwards, enabling the furnace ash to fall better into the interior of the cleaning tank.
[0009] As another improvement of the present application, a ventilation pipe is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bucket body close to the cooling and cleaning area, and a filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation pipe.
[0010] As a supplement to another improvement of the present application, one end of the ash discharge tank and the cleaning tank both extends to the outside of the bucket body, and spiral conveyor rods are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the ash discharge tank and the cleaning tank. Ash discharge ports are provided at one end of the ash discharge tank and the cleaning tank located outside the bucket body; through the above settings, the spiral conveyor rods can transport the furnace ash collected inside the ash discharge tank and the cleaning tank outwards when rotating.
[0011] As a supplement to another improvement of the present application, an air supply pipe and a water supply pipe are provided on the outer wall of the bucket body. One end of a plurality of air supply pipes is communicated with the bronchus, and one end of a plurality of branch water pipes is communicated with the water supply pipe.
[0012] As another improvement of the present application, a stepping motor and a driving motor are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of one end of the bucket body. One end of the turning shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepping motor, and one end of the spiral conveyor rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor.
[0013] In summary, through the setting of devices such as the concentrating plate, the wind blown by the air nozzle blows towards the concentrating plate, which can play a role in cooling the concentrating plate. The furnace ash falls onto the top surface of the concentrating plate and accumulates at the bottom of the ash falling area and then drops into the interior of the ash discharge tank, and the furnace ash is transported outwards. After long-term use, the surface of the concentrating plate close to the ash falling area will accumulate furnace ash. At this time, the concentrating plate is rotated by a certain degree through the turning shaft, so that the side of the concentrating plate facing the ash falling area faces the cooling and cleaning area. At this time, the wind blown by the bronchus towards the concentrating plate can play a role in cleaning the slag accumulated on the surface of the concentrating plate. By repeating the above operation, it is possible to clean the concentrating plate while achieving a cooling effect on it, without the need for shutdown maintenance, improving the overall working efficiency of the boiler, and at the same time improving the cooling effect of the concentrating plate, enabling the furnace ash to be discharged better.

A concentrating plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the plurality of turning shafts 2. The plurality of concentrating plates 3 are all arranged in an inclined shape and are distributed in a W shape. The top surface of the hopper body 1 where the concentrating plates 3 are located is set as an ash-falling area 4, and the bottom surface of the hopper body 1 where the concentrating plates 3 are located is set as a cooling and cleaning area 5. A dust discharge chute 6 and a cleaning chute 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hopper body 1.
