[0064] Working principle:

[0065] 1. Flue gas extraction and transportation

[0066] Flue gas extraction: The high-temperature flue gas generated by the combustion of the boiler 2 is discharged from the exhaust end of the boiler 2 and is extracted by an air extraction fan 320 through the flue gas extraction pipe 31. The air extraction fan 320 is installed in the heat exchange pipe 32 to ensure that the flue gas can smoothly flow from the boiler 2 -> heat exchanger 331 -> secondary combustion chamber 4.

[0067] Pipeline transportation: The extracted flue gas flows along the flue gas extraction pipeline 31, and passes through the first filter plate 51 for preliminary filtration to remove large particle impurities, preventing these impurities from entering the subsequent waste heat recovery mechanism 3 and protecting equipment such as the heat exchanger 331 from blockage and wear.

[0068] 2. Waste heat recovery

[0069] Heat exchange process: The preliminarily filtered flue gas enters the heat exchange pipeline 32 and exchanges heat with the heat medium in the heat exchanger 331. The input end of the heat exchanger 331 is connected to the output end of the heat exchange pipeline 32, and the heat medium absorbs the waste heat of the flue gas in the heat exchanger 331 and the temperature rises.

[0070] Heat medium circulation: The heat medium that has absorbed the waste heat is transported to the waste heat recovery chamber 33 through the heat medium channel 334. The output end of the heat medium channel 334 is connected to the heating chamber 40 of the secondary combustion chamber 4, releasing the heat in the heat medium into the secondary combustion chamber 4 to assist the secondary combustion process.

[0071] Temperature control: A temperature sensor is installed at the outlet of the heat exchanger 331 to monitor the temperature of the heat medium in real time and feed the data back to the external control system. The external control system adjusts the flow rate of the heat medium channel 334 through the second control valve 334a according to the signal of the temperature sensor to ensure that the temperature of the heat medium remains within the set range, thereby realizing precise control of the waste heat recovery process.

[0072] 3. Secondary combustion

[0073] Flue gas entry: The flue gas after waste heat recovery enters the secondary combustion chamber 4 through the serpentine flue gas pipeline 42. The design of the serpentine flue gas pipeline 42 increases the residence time of the flue gas in the secondary combustion chamber 4 and improves the combustion efficiency.

[0074] Combustion process: A plurality of combustion nozzles 41 in the secondary combustion chamber 4 are evenly distributed on the inner wall, and the combustion nozzles 41 are connected to the external ignition device. The external ignition device is opened and closed through the external control system to ignite the large solid particles that are not completely burned, so that they burn fully in the secondary combustion chamber 4.

[0075] Exhaust gas treatment: The burned flue gas is discharged through the exhaust pipe 43, and an exhaust valve 44 is provided on the exhaust pipe 43 to control the exhaust gas flow rate and ensure the pressure stability in the secondary combustion chamber 4.

[0076] 4. Pipeline cleaning

[0077] Cleaning mechanism: A pipe wall cleaning mechanism 5 is installed in the flue gas extraction pipeline 31, including a second filter plate 321 and a plurality of convex sliders 52. The second filter plate 321 is provided with convex sliders 52 on its outer periphery, and the convex sliders 52 are slidably connected to the slide rails 311 opened on the inner wall of the flue gas extraction pipeline 31.

[0078] Filter plate 1 51 linear motion: When the flue gas passes through the flue gas extraction pipe 31, the airflow pushes the filter plate 2 321 to move linearly along the slide rail 311 inside the pipe. During the movement of the filter plate 2 321, it scrapes the dust and particulate matter on the inner wall of the pipe, preventing the accumulation of dust and maintaining the smoothness of the pipe. When the filter plate 1 51 moves to the tail of the flue gas extraction pipe 31, it is disassembled, and then the filter plate 1 51 is pushed to the very beginning of the flue gas extraction pipe 31.

[0079] In summary, through the coordinated action of each mechanism, the flue gas recirculation device of the boiler 2 of the present invention realizes the effective recovery and utilization of waste heat, the efficient progress of secondary combustion, and the automatic cleaning of the inner wall of the pipe, significantly improving the combustion efficiency, energy utilization efficiency, and operation stability of the boiler 2 system. At the same time, it reduces pollutant emissions and equipment maintenance costs, providing an effective solution for energy conservation, emission reduction, and sustainable development in the boiler 2 industry.

[0080] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and deformations can be made, and these improvements and deformations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
