Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of boiler coke removal, and particularly to an on-line coke removal device and method for a swirl burner nozzle. Background Art

[0002] Boiler coking is a relatively common phenomenon in the operation of coal-fired industrial boilers. It can disrupt the normal combustion condition, reduce the steam output of the boiler; disrupt the normal water circulation, causing tube explosion accidents, and in severe cases, it can even block the furnace cavity outlet and force the boiler to stop. Since after the boiler cokes, the molten ash particles fall and accumulate near the burner nozzle, it can cause blockage and even burning damage of the primary air nozzle of the burner, and the outlet air flow will be disordered, which will further deteriorate the combustion condition in the furnace. The existing furnace body is equipped with heating surface soot blowers, and the burner nozzles generally do not install soot blowing guns to prevent soot blowing from causing fire extinguishing accidents. Therefore, coke removal from the boiler burner nozzles has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0003] The existing coke removal tools use an iron long rod. One end of the long rod is a sharp coke removal head, and the other end is a handle. Coke is removed by manual poking. However, because an iron wind coke removal head is used for coke removal and it is difficult to master the manual coke removal force, it is easy to damage the boiler.

[0004] The patent with the application number CN200920015374.5 discloses a coke breaker. An impactor that can swing at multiple angles is arranged on a lifting platform. The impact for coke removal uses a rail impactor, which is provided with impact by an impact motor and feed by a rotary motor. The two motors cooperate to generate impact vibration for coke removal. However, it is difficult to coordinate the two in actual operation, and it is also difficult to coordinate the linkage control of each part. In particular, in this impact method for coke removal, the impact power is at the rear end of the rail far from the impact bit, and the generated vibration force is transmitted through the rail. By the time it is truly transmitted to the impact bit, it has been greatly weakened, and the actual coke removal effect is not ideal. Secondly, this coke breaker can only perform linear coke removal, that is, it can only strike the coking on the furnace wall surface opposite the coke removal hole. Since the number of coke removal holes on the boiler wall is limited, it is impossible to open a large number of holes without restraint, and in addition, the area of the coke removal hole is relatively small, so it is difficult for the coke breaker to achieve large-range swing impact for coke removal. Therefore, there are coke removal dead corners and it is difficult to remove all the coking.

[0005] The patent with the application number CN202210969589.0 discloses a boiler fire detection hole coke removal device, belonging to the technical field of boiler flame detection in thermal power plants. It includes: a bottom plate; a bracket that can rotate 360° relative to the bottom plate in the horizontal plane; a coke removal gun, including a gun body and a gun tip, the gun body is slidably installed on the bracket, and the gun tip can rotate and fold relative to the gun body in the vertical plane; a direct stroke cylinder, fixedly connected to the tail of the gun body, used to drive the gun body to stretch relative to the bracket and enter the fire detection hole for coke removal operation; a camera lens group, installed on the bracket, used to collect the coking image information in the fire detection hole; a video display module, used to display the coking image in the fire detection hole collected by the camera lens group. However, since this invention requires opening a fire detection hole on the boiler, which is harmful to the boiler body, and the coke removal gun is driven by a direct stroke cylinder, resulting in a rigid contact with the boiler during coke removal, it will also cause damage to the boiler.

[0006] The above patents all have the problem of damaging the boiler body because they all need to open a fire detection hole on the boiler and complete coke removal by hitting the furnace wall surface. Therefore, a swirl burner nozzle online coke removal device and a coke removal method are proposed to solve the problem of easy damage to the furnace wall existing above. Summary of the Invention

The limit groove 101 is arranged on the inner wall of the outer casing, and the limit block 102 is arranged on the outer wall of the inner casing.

[0044] A defocusing method for an on-line defocusing device of a swirl burner nozzle is as follows:

[0045] S1. Sleeve the oil gun sleeve 1 outside the burner oil gun 1001 and fix the stator of the hollow motor 4.

[0046] S2. Real-time monitor the coking thickness on the inner wall of the nozzle cavity 1002 through the sensor 7. When the thickness exceeds the preset threshold, the PLC controller 9 starts the second motor 6 to push the oil gun sleeve 1 to extend to the target position.

[0047] S3. Control the first motor 5 to drive the sliding sleeve 202 to move, so that the defocusing scraper 3 unfolds through the link mechanism and presses against the inner wall of the nozzle cavity 1002.

[0048] S4. Synchronously start the hollow motor 4 and the vibration motor 8, and drive the defocusing scraper 3 to scrape on the inner wall of the nozzle cavity 1002 of the burner 10 through the oil gun sleeve 1 and the scraper support 2 for defocusing.

[0049] S5. During the defocusing process in step S5, the sensor 7 continuously collects the coking condition and transmits the collected data to the PLC controller 9.

[0050] S6. When the sensor 7 detects that the coking thickness is lower than the threshold, the control device sequentially stops vibrating, retracts the defocusing scraper 3, and contracts the oil gun sleeve 1.

[0051] Working principle of the present invention:

[0052] In the present invention, full-automatic decoking of the burner nozzle is achieved based on the collaborative control of dynamic detection and mechanical linkage. When the sensor 7 detects that the coking thickness on the inner wall of the nozzle cavity 1002 exceeds the standard, the PLC controller 9 first starts the second motor 6 to drive the second lead screw 107, pushing the multi-stage telescopic structure of the oil gun sleeve 1 to extend outward, so that the decoking scraper 3 reaches the coking area. Subsequently, the first motor 5 drives the sliding sleeve 202 to move axially through the first lead screw 207. By using the first pull rod 203 and the second pull rod 204 in the linkage mechanism and being linked through the pin shaft 205, the linear motion of the sliding sleeve is converted into the radial expansion of the decoking scraper 3, ensuring that the working surface of the scraper forms a controllable pressure contact with the inner wall of the nozzle cavity.

[0053] After the mechanical positioning is completed, the hollow motor 4 drives the oil gun sleeve 1 to rotate at a preset speed, driving the decoking scraper 3 to perform circumferential cutting on the coking layer. At the same time, the vibration motor 8 applies high-frequency vibration, which is transmitted to the scraper through the fixed cap 201, using the vibration impact to break the dense coke blocks and reduce the scraping resistance. The PLC controller 9 dynamically adjusts the rotation speed of the hollow motor, the torque of the first motor, and the vibration frequency according to the coking thickness, temperature, and scraper pressure data real-time feedback by the sensor 7, which can follow the algorithm T = k·δ·v, (T is the output torque of the first motor 5, δ is the real-time coking thickness, v is the rotation speed of the hollow motor 4, and k is the material friction coefficient correction factor), thereby achieving the precise matching of the scraping intensity and the coking condition. When the coking removal reaches the standard, the device executes the action sequence in reverse: stops vibrating, retracts the scraper, retracts the sleeve, and restores the normal combustion state of the oil gun. This process is through electromechanical closed-loop control, taking into account both the decoking efficiency and equipment protection.

[0054] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
