Detailed implementation manners
[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0026] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1 - 8, A flue gas waste heat recovery heating device, including a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger includes a housing 1. An inlet flue gas port 11 and an outlet flue gas port 12 are respectively arranged on the upper side and the lower side of the housing 1. Flue gas enters the housing 1 from the inlet flue gas port 11 and discharges from the outlet flue gas port 12. A number of heat exchange tubes 2 for cooling water circulation are arranged inside the housing 1. The length direction of the heat exchange tubes 2 is arranged along the axial direction of the housing 1. A cleaning hopper 3 is arranged inside the housing 1. The cleaning hopper 3 is sleeved outside all the heat exchange tubes 2. The flue gas waste heat recovery heating device further includes a lifting device 4. The lifting device 4 is used to control the lifting of the cleaning hopper 3 inside the housing 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, an inlet and outlet water assembly 5 is arranged at the top of the housing 1. The inlet and outlet water assembly 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. An inlet water port 52 and an outlet water port 53 are respectively arranged on both sides of the inlet and outlet water assembly 5. A partition 51 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inlet and outlet water assembly 5. The partition 51 separates the inlet water port 52 and the outlet water port 53. The heat exchange tubes 2 are of U-shaped structure. The two ends of the heat exchange tubes 2 are respectively connected and communicated with the inlet water port 52 and the outlet water port 53. The outlet water port 53 is connected to a storage tank.
[0028] It should be noted that the cooling water enters the left side of the partition 51 from the inlet water port 52, then enters the right side of the partition 51 from the U-shaped heat exchange tubes 2, and then discharges from the outlet water port 53 to the storage tank, and can be used for living or office heating or domestic water.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the lifting device 4 includes a double-shaft motor 41 fixedly installed at the top of the inlet and outlet water assembly 5. Both ends of the output shaft of the double-shaft motor 41 are fixedly connected with winding wheels 42. Steel wire ropes 43 are wound on both winding wheels 42. The two steel wire ropes 43 pass through the inlet and outlet water assembly 5 and the housing 1 and are fixedly connected with the cleaning hopper 3.
[0030] It should be noted that the so-called double-shaft motor 41 means that both ends of the output shaft extend to both sides and can respectively install winding wheels 42. When the output shaft rotates, the two winding wheels 42 also rotate together. When the winding wheels 42 wind the steel wire ropes 43, the steel wire ropes 43 can pull the cleaning hopper 3 to move upward. When the winding wheels 42 unwind, the cleaning hopper 3 moves downward under the action of gravity.
[0031] In this embodiment, the implementation method is specifically as follows: during operation, cooling water is introduced from the water inlet 52, and then flows out from the water outlet 53 to the storage tank after passing through the heat exchange tube 2. Flue gas is introduced into the interior of the housing 1 from the flue gas inlet 11, and is discharged from the flue gas outlet 12 after heat exchange through the heat exchange tube 2. During this process, impurities in the flue gas adhere to the heat exchange tube 2. The flue gas contains 7-11% (volume ratio) of water vapor, and condensed water will be generated during heat exchange. The condensed water drips down into the interior of the cleaning bucket 3. When a certain amount of water is stored in the cleaning bucket 3, the double-shaft motor 41 drives the winding wheel 42 to rotate, and the winding wheel 42 winds the steel wire rope 43 to drive the cleaning bucket 3 to move upward. When the cleaning bucket 3 moves upward, the impurities on the surface of the heat exchange tube 2 are scraped into the interior of the cleaning bucket 3 and mixed with the water inside the cleaning bucket 3. When the cleaning bucket 3 moves to the uppermost end, the steel wire rope 43 is unwound, and the cleaning bucket 3 moves downward to the bottom of the housing 1 under the action of gravity.
[0032] Through the arrangement of the cleaning bucket 3 and the lifting device 4 in the above technical solution, the lifting device 4 drives the cleaning bucket 3 to move upward along the heat exchange tube 2 to scrape the impurities attached to the surface of the heat exchange tube 2. By using the condensed water generated during the heat exchange of the flue gas, the surface of the heat exchange tube 2 can be cleaned, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0033] Further, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, a plurality of rubber sleeves 8 are fixedly connected to the bottom inside the cleaning bucket 3, and the rubber sleeves 8 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of a plurality of heat exchange tubes 2.
[0034] It should be noted that the rubber sleeve 8 is made of corrosion-resistant rubber material. Through the arrangement of the rubber sleeve 8, the impurities on the surface of the heat exchange tube 2 can be better scraped off, and the surface of the heat exchange tube 2 will not be damaged.
[0035] Referring to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 2 - 8 , a bottom shell 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1, the bottom end of the heat exchange tube 2 extends into the interior of the bottom shell 13, a tapered opening 31 is formed on one side of the bottom of the cleaning bucket 3, and a control assembly 6 is arranged on one side inside the bottom shell 13. The control assembly 6 is used to control the opening or closing of the tapered opening 31.
[0036] Further, the control assembly 6 includes a control rod 61, the control rod 61 is fixedly connected to the cleaning bucket 3, a sphere 62 is arranged inside the tapered opening 31, the sphere 62 is movably sleeved on the control rod 61, a spring 63 is sleeved on the control rod 61, and the two ends of the spring 63 are respectively pressed against the top of the cleaning bucket 3 and the upper end of the sphere 62.
[0037] Further, a fixed pipe 64 is fixedly connected inside the bottom shell 13 at a position directly below the conical opening 31. A connecting rod 65 is fixedly connected inside the fixed pipe 64. The connecting rod 65 is used to upwardly press the sphere 62. A through hole 651 is formed at the bottom of the connecting rod 65, and the control rod 61 movably penetrates through the connecting rod 65.
[0038] Further, a water tank 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom shell 13. One side of the water tank 7 has a water pipe 711. A liquid level sensor 72 is installed at the upper end of the water pipe 711. The liquid level sensor 72 is used to detect the water level inside the water tank 7.
[0039] Still further, a water outlet component 73 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 7. The water outlet component 73 includes a control disk 731. The control disk 731 is rotatably connected to the water tank 7 through a torsion spring. A second water outlet hole 732 is formed in the circumferential direction of the control disk 731. A first water outlet hole 712 is formed at the bottom of the water tank 7. A middle hole 733 is formed in the middle of the control disk 731. A spiral groove 734 is formed in the inner wall of the middle hole 733. A convex block 735 is radially and telescopically installed on the side wall of the bottom end of the control rod 61. The convex block 735 can slide inside the spiral groove 734.
[0040] It should be noted that the convex block 735 is installed on the control rod 61 through a compression spring and can move along the radial direction of the control rod 61.
[0041] In this embodiment, the implementation manner is specifically as follows: Initially, the cleaning bucket 3 is located at the bottom of the housing 1. The connecting rod 65 upwardly pushes the sphere 62 to open the conical opening 31, and the first water outlet hole 712 and the second water outlet hole 732 are staggered. During the heat exchange process, the condensed water drops into the cleaning bucket 3 and flows into the water tank 7 from the position of the conical opening 31. The liquid level sensor 72 detects the water level. When it detects that the water level reaches a certain height inside the cleaning bucket 3, the lifting device 4 controls the cleaning bucket 3 to move upward to scrape the impurities on the surface of the heat exchange tube 2. When the cleaning bucket 3 moves upward, the sphere 62 separates from the connecting rod 65. Under the action of the spring 63, the sphere 62 presses on the inner surface of the conical opening 31 to close the conical opening 31. When the impurities are scraped off, when the cleaning bucket 3 moves downward to the bottom of the housing 1 but is not completely in contact with the bottom of the housing 1 (the first process), the connecting rod 65 upwardly pushes the sphere 62 to open the conical opening 31, and the condensed water and impurities flow into the water tank 7 from the conical opening 31. At the same time, the bottom of the control rod 61 enters the middle hole 733, and the convex block 735 slides inside the spiral groove 734. Through the action of the spiral groove 734, the control disk 731 rotates. When the second water outlet hole 732 is aligned with the first water outlet hole 712, the condensed water and impurities flow out from the positions of the second water outlet hole 732 and the first water outlet hole 712. When the outflow is completed, the cleaning bucket 3 continues to move downward (the second process), and the control disk 731 continues to rotate to stagger the second water outlet hole 732 and the first water outlet hole 712.
[0042] The condensed water generated by subsequent heat exchange continues to be stored inside the water tank 7 and the cleaning bucket 3.
[0043] Among them, the compression spring at the position of the bump 735 is reasonably selected so that it can overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring at the position of the control disk 731, so that the second water outlet hole 732 can be aligned with the first water outlet hole 712.
[0044] It should also be noted that when the cleaning bucket 3 drives the control rod 61 to move upward, the bump 735 contacts the bottom of the connecting rod 65 and is received into the inside of the control rod 61. When the cleaning bucket 3 drives the control rod 61 to move downward, the bump 735 can also contact the top of the connecting rod 65 and be received into the inside of the control rod 61, so that the control rod 61 can pass through the connecting rod 65 smoothly. In addition, when the control rod 61 moves upward, the control disk 731 will reverse under the action of the torsion spring, and the second water outlet hole 732 and the first water outlet hole 712 will coincide for a short time, and a small amount of condensed water will flow out, which does not affect the scraping operation of the impurities on the surface of the heat exchange tube 2.
[0045] Refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1 - 8 In addition, this embodiment also provides a flue gas waste heat recovery heating system, which includes the above-mentioned flue gas waste heat recovery heating device, and also includes a control module 9. The control module 9 controls the lifting device 4 to drive the cleaning bucket 3 to lift and lower according to the water level information inside the water tank 7 detected by the liquid level sensor 72.
[0046] It should be noted that the liquid level sensor 72 detects the water level. When the water level reaches the set first water level value, the lifting device 4 controls the cleaning bucket 3 to move upward to scrape the impurities on the surface of the heat exchange tube 2. And in the above first process, the liquid level sensor 72 also detects the water level value. When it reaches the set second water level value, the lifting device 4 controls the cleaning bucket 3 to move downward to perform the second process.
[0047] Finally: The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
