DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Example: Boiler air volume sampling, regulation and protection device for thermal power units, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, the system includes a feed hopper 1, a furnace 2, a coal inlet pipe 3, a flue pipe 4, a burner 5, a first fan 10, a solenoid valve 12, a flow meter 11, a first baffle 13, a second baffle 17, and a third baffle 19. The feed hopper 1 is connected to the coal inlet pipe 3 on its side, and the top of the feed hopper 1 is connected to the furnace 2. The burner 5 is installed on the side of the furnace 2, and the flue pipe 4 is installed on the top of the furnace 2. The solenoid valve 12 and the first fan 10 are installed sequentially on the bottom pipe of the feed hopper 1. Flow meters 11 are installed on the cross-sections of the bottom pipe of the feed hopper 1, the coal inlet pipe 3, and the flue pipe 4. The first baffle 13, the second baffle 17, and the third baffle 19 are rotatably connected to these pipes, respectively. A transmission mechanism is installed between the first baffle 13, the second baffle 17, and the third baffle 19 to achieve synchronous angle adjustment.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a boiler drum 6 is installed on the inner wall of the furnace 2. Water-cooled pipes 7 are arranged throughout the inner wall of the furnace 2, and superheated pipes 8 are arranged at the top, forming a complete steam-water circulation loop. The boiler drum 6, as the core component for steam-water separation, can separate the steam-water mixture generated within the furnace 2, ensuring the output of qualified steam. The water-cooled pipes 7, distributed throughout the inner wall of the furnace 2, can fully absorb heat from the furnace 2, reducing the temperature of the inner wall and simultaneously heating the water into a steam-water mixture. The superheated pipes 8, located at the top of the furnace 2, can further heat the saturated steam, making it superheated steam with a certain degree of superheat to meet the unit's power generation needs. The specific circulation path is as follows: the bottom of the boiler drum 6 is connected to the lower connecting pipe of the water-cooled pipes 7, and the upper connecting pipe of the water-cooled pipes 7 is connected to the middle of the boiler drum 6; the saturated steam outlet at the top of the boiler drum 6 is connected to the inlet of the superheated pipes 8, and the outlet of the superheated pipes 8 is connected to the unit's steam turbine through the main steam pipeline (not shown in the figure). Water in boiler drum 6 flows into the lower connecting pipe of water-cooled pipe 7. After absorbing heat from furnace 2 through water-cooled pipe 7, it forms a steam-water mixture, which returns to boiler drum 6 through the upper connecting pipe of water-cooled pipe 7. Boiler drum 6 separates the steam-water mixture. Saturated water remains in boiler drum 6 to continue to participate in the circulation, while saturated steam enters superheated pipe 8 to be heated into superheated steam and then sent to the steam turbine (not shown in the figure).
[0031] like Figure 1As shown, the outer wall of the furnace 2 is provided with a controller 9, which is electrically connected with the flow meter 11 and the electromagnetic valve 12 through the CAN bus. The controller 9 serves as the control core of the whole device, can receive the air volume signal transmitted by the flow meter 11, and issue instructions to the electromagnetic valve 12 and other components according to the preset control logic, so as to realize real-time regulation and control of the boiler operation state. The use of the CAN bus ensures the stability and reliability of signal transmission, makes the information interaction between components more efficient, and provides a guarantee for the precise control of the device.
[0032] As shown in Figure 9 The flow meter 11 includes a buffer chamber 1101, a baffle 1102, an air inlet pipe 1103, an air outlet pipe 1105, and a detector 1104. The buffer chamber 1101 is divided into two unequal volume chambers by the baffle 1102. The air inlet pipe 1103 is in communication with the high-pressure chamber, and the air outlet pipe 1105 is in communication with the low-pressure chamber. The detector 1104 uses a differential pressure transmitter to measure the pressure difference between the two chambers. When the airflow passes through the buffer chamber 1101, the pressure difference between the two chambers can reflect the speed and flow of the airflow. The design of the baffle 1102 can slow down the airflow impact and reduce the influence of airflow disturbance on the measurement results, which helps to stabilize the airflow distribution and improve the stability of the measurement. The differential pressure transmitter can convert the pressure difference signal into a transmissible electrical signal to provide accurate air volume data for the controller 9.
[0033] As shown in Figure 6 The transmission mechanism includes a first transmission wheel 14, a second transmission wheel 15, a third transmission wheel 16, and a fourth transmission wheel 18. The rotating shaft of the first partition plate 13 is rigidly connected with the output shaft of the electromagnetic valve 12 and coaxially fixes the first transmission wheel 14 and the second transmission wheel 15. The rotating shafts of the second partition plate 17 and the third partition plate 19 respectively fix the third transmission wheel 16 and the fourth transmission wheel 18. The first transmission wheel 14 and the third transmission wheel 16 are driven by a belt, and the second transmission wheel 15 and the fourth transmission wheel 18 are driven by a belt, so as to realize synchronous adjustment of the angles of the three partition plates. When the rotating shaft of the first partition plate 13 rotates, it will drive the first transmission wheel 14 and the second transmission wheel 15 to rotate synchronously. Through the transmission action of the belt, the third transmission wheel 16 and the fourth transmission wheel 18 drive the second partition plate 17 and the third partition plate 19 to rotate, respectively. This linkage mode makes the adjustment actions of the three partition plates synchronous, avoids the response delay of individual adjustment of components, can quickly balance the air inlet volume and the exhaust volume, and reduces the pressure fluctuation of the furnace 2.
[0034] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the tail end of the smoke exhaust pipe 4 is sequentially installed with the second fan 20 and the chimney 21. The second fan 20 is controlled by frequency conversion speed regulation, and the second fan 20 can enhance the airflow flow in the smoke exhaust pipe 4 to ensure that the flue gas is smoothly discharged. The chimney 21 guides the discharged flue gas to high altitude to reduce the impact on the surrounding environment. The frequency conversion speed regulation enables the speed of the second fan 20 to be adjusted according to the smoke exhaust condition, thereby ensuring the smoke exhaust effect while reducing energy consumption and improving the economy of the device.
[0035] As shown in Figure 6 The first baffle 13 and the second baffle 17 are initially in a closed state, and the third baffle 19 is initially in an open state. When the first baffle 13 and the second baffle 17 are opened, the third baffle 19 is completely closed, thereby ensuring that, during the starting stage of the device, the coal inlet pipe 3 and the bottom pipeline of the feed hopper 1 can normally intake air and coal, and the smoke exhaust pipe 4 is in a closed state, which is conducive to the ignition and stable combustion in the initial stage of the furnace 2. With the change of the operating state, the angle of each baffle is changed correspondingly through the adjustment of the transmission mechanism to adapt to the air volume demand under different working conditions.
[0036] As shown in Figures 1-2 The flow meter 11 samples at three points of the bottom pipeline of the feed hopper 1, the coal inlet pipe 3 and the smoke exhaust pipe 4 to realize accurate detection. The three-point sampling can comprehensively reflect the air volume conditions of different key parts of the boiler, avoiding the limitations that may exist in single-point sampling. Through comprehensive analysis of the three-point air volume data, the controller 9 can more accurately judge the operating state of the boiler to provide a reliable basis for the issuance of adjustment instructions, thereby improving the accuracy of air volume control. The coal transported by the coal inlet pipe 3 is coal ash, which is carried into the furnace 2 by the airflow primary air. The design of “air-transported coal” is adopted: the airflow in the coal inlet pipe 3 is both the measurement object of the flow meter 11 and the carrier for transporting coal ash. The flow meter 11 on the coal inlet pipe 3 is used to detect the air volume carrying coal ash to ensure that the air volume matches the amount of coal ash. The second baffle 17 controls the air volume by adjusting the sectional area of the airflow passage to further adjust the transportation intensity of the coal ash. The change in the angle of the second baffle 17 only changes the airflow speed and does not directly block the coal ash. When the opening angle increases, the air volume increases and the airflow carrying capacity of the coal ash increases. When the opening angle decreases, the air volume decreases and the transportation intensity decreases, thereby adapting to the demand for coal ash under different loads and ensuring that the coal ash stably enters the furnace 2.
[0037] The air volume sampling process: when the boiler is running, the air flow in the pipeline, through the flow meter 11 for air volume sampling. In the feed hopper 1 bottom pipeline, coal feeding pipe 3, the flow meter 11 of the exhaust pipe 4 work at the same time. After the air flow enters the buffer chamber 1101 of the flow meter 11, it flows through the detector 1104, which measures the pressure difference between the two chambers in real time and converts it into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the controller 9 through the signal cable. Because the sampling pipeline and signal transmission path of each sampling point are independent of each other, signal interference is effectively avoided, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data of each sampling point. The controller 9 receives signals from each flow meter 11 to provide basic data for subsequent air volume adjustment.
[0038] Linkage adjustment process; the controller 9 receives the air volume data from each point, and combines the preset control strategy to determine whether the air volume of the current boiler is within a reasonable range. When the air volume needs to be adjusted, the controller 9 sends a command to start the transmission mechanism for adjustment.
[0039] When burning, the controller 9 controls the electromagnetic valve 12 to act, and at the same time drives the rotating shaft of the first baffle 13 to rotate. When the first baffle 13 rotates, the coaxial first transmission wheel 14 and second transmission wheel 15 rotate, and through the belt transmission, the third transmission wheel 16 and fourth transmission wheel 18 drive the second baffle 17 and third baffle 19 to rotate, respectively. At this time, the opening angle of the first baffle 13 and the second baffle 17 increases, the ventilation cross-sectional area of the coal feeding pipe 3 and the bottom pipeline of the feed hopper 1 increases, and the air volume increases; the opening angle of the third baffle 19 decreases, the ventilation cross-sectional area of the exhaust pipe 4 decreases, and the exhaust volume decreases, so as to realize the full combustion of the coal ash in the furnace 2.
[0040] When the exhaust is discharged, the controller 9 drives each component to act in reverse, the first baffle 13 and the second baffle 17 are closed, and the third baffle 19 is opened, which reduces the air volume and increases the exhaust volume. In the whole adjustment process, the controller 9 first makes a preliminary response according to the basic logic stored in itself, and at the same time transmits real-time data to the DCS system, which displays the running state of each component in real time. The operator can intervene through remote monitoring to ensure the stability of the adjustment process.
[0041] Safety protection process: When the device detects abnormal air volume, furnace 2 pressure overrun, temperature anomaly and other conditions, the safety protection mechanism is immediately started. If the air volume of a certain part is lower than the set value too much, or over temperature, over pressure and other conditions occur, the controller 9 reacts quickly according to the preset protection logic, for example, closes the electromagnetic valve 12, cuts off the fuel supply; Adjust the angle of each baffle through the transmission mechanism to change the opening and closing of the ventilation path; Control the fan to adjust the speed, speed up the flue gas exhaust or adjust the air intake to alleviate the abnormal condition. At the same time, the DCS system will send an alarm signal, and the abnormal part and abnormal parameter will be displayed on the monitoring screen to remind the operator to handle it in time. The perfect thermal protection configuration and the coordinated action of each component ensure that the emergency response can be quickly responded to in emergency situations, and the accident risk is minimized.
[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present application in any form, and any technical solutions obtained by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present application.
