Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of blue coke particle conveying structures, and specifically to a wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant pneumatic conveying process and control system for blue coke particles with a diameter less than 5 mm produced based on calcium carbide. Background Art
[0002] Semi-coke particles are the main raw material for calcium carbide production and must be dried before use to keep the moisture content within the process requirements. To ensure the particle size distribution, the dried semi-coke particles are screened. The particles and powders below 5mm are stored in a powder silo and then pneumatically conveyed to the drying kiln for use as fuel.
[0003] Semi-coke powder and particles are highly abrasive, causing rapid wear and tear on pneumatic conveying feeders and shortening their service life. Semi-coke powder is prone to spontaneous combustion in storage silos. Even with nitrogen protection, localized spontaneous combustion can occasionally occur, with the powder temperature reaching as high as 400°C.
[0004] The characteristics of semi-coke powder are: strong abrasiveness, low moisture content, easy to ignite, high temperature, and no adhesion.
[0005] The existing feeding method is continuous feeding with a rotary sealing valve, which has the disadvantages of rapid wear, poor sealing, and short service life. When the rotor of the rotary sealing valve wears out, it will lose its sealing and air locking function, causing feeding interruption and affecting production.
[0006] To this end, we proposed a wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant pneumatic conveying process and control system for semi-coke particles below 5 mm produced based on calcium carbide. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant pneumatic conveying control system and protection method for blue coke particles below 5 mm produced based on calcium carbide, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant pneumatic conveying control system for semi-coke particles below 5 mm produced based on calcium carbide, comprising an intermediate bin, a semi-coke under-screen bin, and an ash unloader. The semi-coke under-screen bin is provided with a sealing control component, and the semi-coke under-screen bin is connected to the intermediate bin and the ash unloader respectively through the sealing control component.
[0009] Preferably, a material level meter and multiple sets of exhaust ball valves are provided in the intermediate bin.
[0010] Preferably, the ash unloader is a high-temperature resistant rotary sealing valve, the surface of the rotor impeller of the ash unloader is sprayed with tungsten carbide alloy wear-resistant material, and the ash unloader adopts a variable frequency control system.
[0011] Preferably, the sealing control component includes a feed valve and a discharge valve, the intermediate bin and the blue charcoal screen bin are connected through the feed valve, the blue charcoal screen bin and the ash unloader are connected through the discharge valve, and control valves are provided above the blue charcoal screen bin and at the bottom of the intermediate bin.
[0012] Preferably, the feed valve and the discharge valve are both ceramic wear-resistant swing valves, and the ceramic wear-resistant swing valve is a DN200 diameter model.
[0013] Preferably, the control valve is a pneumatic ball valve, and the pneumatic ball valve adopts a DN50 diameter model.
[0014] Preferably, the ash unloader is connected to a Roots blower via a connecting pipe, a manual gate valve is provided between the connecting pipe and the intermediate bin, and the manual gate valve is of DN200 diameter.
[0015] The conveying process of the wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant pneumatic conveying control system for semi-coke particles below 5 mm produced by calcium carbide also includes:
[0016] S1: When the intermediate bin is feeding, the feed valve is opened and the discharge valve is closed;
[0017] S2. When the material level reaches the upper limit, the material level meter sends a signal, the feed valve closes, and the discharge valve opens;
[0018] S3. The ash discharger cooperates with the Roots blower to evenly transport the material through airflow.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] This application installs sealing control components at the inlet and outlet of the intermediate bin, and installs a rotary sealing valve ash unloader at the bottom. When the intermediate bin is fed, the feed valve opens and the discharge valve closes. When the material level reaches the upper limit, the level meter sends a signal, the feed valve closes, and the discharge valve opens. The material is evenly fed into the air chamber through the ash unloader and carried away by the airflow. Only the uniform feeding function of the ash unloader is utilized, and its sealing and air locking function is not relied upon. The sealing and air locking function is realized by the feed valve and the discharge valve, which can effectively extend the service life of the rotary sealing valve. Compared with the existing technology, this method reduces the wear on lignite powder and particulate matter, has good sealing, and can transport evenly and smoothly, thereby ensuring production efficiency.
