Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial equipment control, and particularly to an automatic soot blower control system based on a PLC, a servo controller, and a servo motor. Background Art
[0002] An automatic soot blower control system is an automated system used in industrial boilers, heat exchangers, and other equipment to remove accumulated ash. Accumulated ash can reduce heat exchange efficiency, increase energy consumption, and may even cause equipment failures. The main function of the soot blower is to blow the accumulated ash and slag on the heating surface of the boiler, and is used to remove the accumulated ash and slag on the water wall, superheater, reheater, and economizer, and can also be used to remove the accumulated ash on the furnace top and tubular air preheater. The soot blower is a commonly used device to solve this problem.
[0003] The traditional control method of the soot blower is as follows: The purge cycle starts when the soot blower gun is in the starting position. After the power is turned on, the motor drives the carriage to move forward along the guide rails on both sides of the beam, and the soot blower gun is sent into the boiler. After the nozzle enters the furnace, the carriage opens the valve and the soot blowing starts. The carriage continues to screw the soot blower gun into the boiler until it reaches the extreme front end, then the carriage reverses and guides the barrel to retreat along a different soot blowing trajectory from when it advanced. When the nozzle approaches the furnace wall, the valve closes and the soot blowing stops, and the carriage continues to retreat and returns to the starting position. This control method often cannot accurately control the movement trajectory and soot blowing intensity of the soot blower, and can only rely on simple and crude limited monitoring means for empirical judgment, resulting in poor soot blowing effect and inability to meet the requirements of efficient and stable operation of industrial production. Usually limited by its own accuracy and affected by external environmental factors such as temperature changes and power fluctuations, there may be problems such as low control accuracy, difficulty for monitoring personnel to make flexible adjustments according to actual working conditions, inability to accurately control the operation process of the soot blower, and it is easy to have the situation of over-soot blowing or insufficient soot blowing, affecting the soot blowing effect and the service life of the boiler equipment.
