Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air preheaters, in particular to a saw-vibration dust-cleaning type air preheater. Background Art
[0002] As the core heat exchange equipment of the boiler system, the air preheater is prone to accumulation of ash and scale in the gaps between the heat exchange tubes during long-term operation, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange efficiency and an increase in flue resistance. Traditional cleaning methods such as mechanical scrapers are prone to jamming or breaking due to sudden changes in resistance, while sonic soot blowing has the disadvantages of insufficient cleaning of dead corners and high energy consumption. Although existing vibration cleaning devices can increase the cleaning range, their vibration parameters and movement speeds are often fixed or open-loop controlled, and cannot adapt to differences in dust distribution: the cleaning efficiency is low at low speeds, the vibration intensity is insufficient at high speeds, resulting in residual ash and scale, and a sudden increase in resistance is more likely to cause overload and damage to the transmission components. The lack of control strategy under such dynamic conditions seriously restricts the continuous operation performance and reliability of the air preheater.
[0003] Therefore, we proposed a saw-vibration cleaning type air preheater to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: (1) The present invention realizes closed-loop control through a dual feedback mechanism of speed and resistance, which significantly enhances the system's adaptability to complex working conditions. When the roller rotation speed increases, the first pressure sensor senses the change in centrifugal force in real time and adjusts the linear vibration motor frequency in conjunction to ensure that the serrated plate maintains efficient dust cleaning during high-speed movement. When the dust resistance suddenly increases, the second pressure sensor detects the resistance signal and simultaneously reduces the drive motor speed and increases the vibration frequency, which not only avoids damage to the mechanism due to jamming, but also enhances the cleaning depth of areas with serious dust accumulation. This dynamic adjustment strategy significantly reduces the risk of mechanical overload while ensuring thorough cleaning, and is particularly suitable for heat exchange environments with uneven dust distribution, extending the continuous operation cycle of the air preheater. (2) The present invention uses a linear vibration motor to drive the high-frequency vertical vibration of the sawtooth plate, which is combined with the horizontal movement driven by the roller to form a composite cleaning trajectory; the linear vibration frequency is adaptively increased with the roller speed, so that the sawtooth can still penetrate into the gap between the heat exchange tubes to peel off the plate dust during high-speed translation; the resistance trigger mechanism further adjusts the vibration speed to ensure that the thick dust layer is efficiently broken and removed; this intelligent coupling of horizontal and vertical motion solves the cleaning blind spot problem caused by the single-degree-of-freedom motion of traditional scraping devices, and is particularly suitable for high-density tube bundle structures, with the cleaning coverage rate and dust removal rate being improved simultaneously; (3) The present invention converts the roller speed into the horizontal displacement of the first sliding ring through a centrifugal force mechanical structure, and feeds back the speed information with a pressure signal without delay. At the same time, the sawtooth resistance is converted into the axial movement of the second sliding ring by a spiral sub-mechanism, accurately quantifying the dust load. Two sets of pressure sensors directly capture the mechanical displacement signal without the need for an external tachometer or force sensor, which simplifies the structure and avoids electrical interference. The controller adjusts the dual motor parameters in real time according to the physical signal to ensure that the speed and vibration frequency always match the actual cleaning requirements, forming a highly robust full mechanical closed-loop control link. (4) The resistance response mechanism actively reduces speed and load when abnormal load is detected, preventing deformation of the serrated plate or fatigue fracture of the transmission mechanism; the vibration intensity distribution strategy based on demand avoids energy consumption of the linear motor due to air vibration, reducing equipment wear; at the same time, the pressure sensor's predictive response to overload replaces traditional manual inspections and emergency fault repairs, significantly reducing the frequency of downtime; the entire machine adopts modular guide rail installation and grouped cleaning units, and local damage can be quickly replaced, significantly reducing maintenance costs; this design is particularly suitable for high-ash fuel conditions and can maintain long-term stable operation in harsh environments; In summary, the present invention has the advantages of achieving dual advantages of performance optimization and mechanism protection through dynamic closed-loop adaptive control.

The spiral column 702 is fixedly installed on one end of the drive shaft 701, and a positioning plate 202 is fixedly installed between the two beams 2. The drive shaft 701 is rotatably installed in the positioning plate 202. The other end of the drive shaft 701 is fixedly installed with a driving gear 711.

A plurality of spiral strips 7021 are integrally formed on the outer side of the spiral column 702, and a plurality of spiral grooves adapted to the spiral strips 7021 are opened on the inner side of the second sliding ring 706.
[0027] In this embodiment, Figure 11 、 13As shown, the monitoring mechanism 8 includes: a fixed frame 801, a first sliding frame 802, a second sliding frame 805, a first pressure sensor 804 and two second pressure sensors 810. The fixed frame 801 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting plate 704. The first sliding frame 802 and the second sliding frame 805 are both slidably mounted on the outside of the fixed frame 801. Two first abutting wheels 803 are rotatably mounted inside the first sliding frame 802. The two first abutting wheels 803 abut against both sides of the first sliding ring 707 respectively.

[0028] The bracket 603 is fixedly installed between the two beams 2, the rotating shaft 602 is rotatably installed in the bracket 603, the driven gear 604 and the roller 601 are fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 602, the roller 601 is rotatably installed on the top of the corresponding I-beam guide rail 12, the fixed frame 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the two beams 2, and the moving mechanism 6 is set into multiple groups.
[0029] Working steps: Step 1: Install the I-beam guide rail 12 on the top of the air preheater body 1, and then install the dust cleaning mechanism on the I-beam guide rail 12; Step 2: Start the drive motor 703 to rotate the rotating frame 705 and the second sliding ring 706. The second sliding ring 706 drives the spiral column 702, the driving shaft 701 and the driving gear 711 to rotate by cooperating with the spiral strip 7021. The second sliding ring 706 drives the rotating shaft 602 and the roller 601 to rotate by meshing with the driven gear 604, so that the roller 601 rolls on the top of the I-beam guide rail 12, controlling the movement of the multiple serrated plates 3 to scrape the dust in the gaps between the heat exchange tubes 103. Step 3: Start the linear vibration motor 404 to drive the connecting frame 406 to vibrate up and down. The connecting frame 406 drives the multiple connecting columns 9 to vibrate up and down, and drives the serrated plate 3 to vibrate up and down, thereby improving the dust cleaning effect through the multiple saw teeth; In step 4, the rotating frame 705 drives the first sliding ring 707 and multiple sliding frames 709 to rotate during rotation. The sliding frame 709 is thrown outward under the action of centrifugal force, and drives the first sliding ring 707 to move to the side away from the driving motor 703 through the arc connecting rod 708, and pushes the first sliding frame 802 to squeeze the first pressure sensor 804 through the abutment with the first abutment wheel 803. The greater the rotation speed of the rotating frame 705, the greater the horizontal movement distance of the first sliding frame 709 ring, thereby the greater the squeezing force on the first pressure sensor 804. The pressure change is monitored by the first pressure sensor 804, so that the rotation speed of the roller 601 can be determined. The controller 11 adjusts the vibration frequency of the linear vibration motor 404 according to the rotation speed of the roller 601. When the rotation speed increases, the vibration frequency of the vibration motor increases. Step five: when the serrated plate 3 encounters resistance from dust during movement, it is converted into rotational resistance of the spiral column 702, causing relative rotation between the spiral column 702 and the rotating frame 705, and then the second sliding ring 706 is driven to move horizontally through the cooperation of the spiral bar 7021 and the second sliding ring 706, and through the squeezing with the corresponding abutment wheel, the connecting spring 808 is squeezed, and the second pressure sensor 810 is pressurized, so that the resistance encountered by the serrated plate 3 is monitored through the second pressure sensor 810. When the resistance increases, the controller 11 controls the speed of the drive motor 703 to decrease and controls the frequency of the linear vibration motor 404 to increase, so as to ensure that the dusty areas are thoroughly cleaned.
[0030] In this embodiment, the control function relationship between the frequency of the linear vibration motor 404 (denoted as f, unit: Hz) and the speed of the drive motor 703 (denoted as n, unit: rad / s) can be mathematically formalized, and the control logic of the controller 11 can be based on two key feedback mechanisms: First pressure sensor 804 (p1): Monitors the rotational speed of roller 601 (proportional to n) and converts the speed into a pressure signal through centrifugal force. The measured value p1 reflects the current rotational speed (denoted as v), where v ∝ p1. Controller 11 adjusts f based on v: as the rotational speed increases, the vibration frequency increases.
[0031] The second pressure sensor 810 (p2) monitors the dust resistance (denoted as r) applied to the serrated plate 3. The resistance is proportional to the pressure signal (r∝p2). The controller 11 adjusts n and f based on r: when the resistance increases, n decreases and f increases.
[0032] The control goal is to achieve closed-loop regulation to ensure optimal cleaning results under different operating conditions (such as changes in the degree of dust accumulation): increase vibration at high speeds or when there is a lot of dust, and reduce speed when there is high resistance to avoid damage to the mechanism and ensure thorough cleaning.
[0033] 1. Velocity Feedback (Step 4): As the rotational velocity v increases, f should increase to match the motion state. Assume f is proportional to v: f ∝ v.
[0034] 2. Resistance feedback (step 5): When resistance r increases, n should decrease to reduce mechanical stress, and f should increase to enhance the cleaning effect. Therefore: n is negatively correlated with r: n∝-r.
[0035] f is positively correlated with r: f∝r.
[0036] In combination with the above, the frequency f of the linear vibration motor 404 depends on the rotation speed v and the resistance r, while the speed n of the drive motor 703 mainly depends on the resistance r. Using a linear model (proportional control), the set point function is: f=K v v+K r r+K f n=K n -K d r in: v is the measured value of the rotation speed of the roller 601, which is obtained by the first pressure sensor 804 (v=c1p1, c1 is a conversion constant).
[0037] r is the measured value of the resistance of the serrated plate 3 , obtained by the second pressure sensor 810 (r=c 2 p 2 , c 2 is a conversion constant).
[0038] K v: Speed feedback gain (positive number), which indicates the weight of the speed's influence on the vibration frequency.
[0039] K r: Resistance feedback gain (positive number) indicates the weight of the influence of resistance on vibration frequency.
[0040] K f: Bias constant of the vibration frequency (fundamental frequency).
[0041] K n: Bias constant for the speed of the drive motor 703 (maximum speed, when resistance is zero).
[0042] K d: Resistance feedback gain (positive number) indicates the weight of the influence of resistance on speed.
[0043] All gains (K v , K r , K f , K n , K d ) needs to be determined through system calibration to ensure dynamic performance and stability.
[0044] The controller 11 processes the sensor input in real time and updates the output set value: 1. Input: p1 (the value of the first pressure sensor 804), calculate v = c1p1. Here, p1∝n (because centrifugal force is related to speed), c1 can be calibrated from mechanical parameters.
[0045] p2 (the value of the second pressure sensor 810), calculate r = c2p2. Here, p2 ∝ resistance, c2 can be calibrated from the spring and lever mechanism.
[0046] 2. Control logic: Based on the current v and r, calculate the new set point: f set =K v v+K r r+K f n set =K n -K d r When v increases (such as the cleaning mechanism moves faster), f set Increased to meet the cleaning needs at higher speeds.
[0047] When r increases (such as dust accumulation becomes thicker), n set Reduce (slow down to reduce resistance), while f set Increase (increases vibration for better cleaning).
[0048] 3. Output: n set The signal is sent to the controller 11 (such as a frequency converter) of the drive motor 703 to adjust the speed.
[0049] f set The signal is sent to the controller 11 of the linear vibration motor 404 to adjust the frequency.
[0050] 4. Closed-loop characteristics: The system continuously monitors p1 and p2, updates v and r in real time, and adjusts n and f to form a negative feedback loop. For example: In the low resistance area (r≈0), n≈Kn (high speed operation), f≈K v v+K (velocity dominant frequency).
[0051] In the high resistance area (r is large), n decreases (n <K n ), f increases (f>K v v+K f ), avoid mechanical jams and enhance dust removal.
[0052] The controller 11 may fine-tune the gain via PID or other algorithms to handle noise and delay.
[0053] Gain Calibration Recommendations Parameter range: Gain should be determined based on the specific mechanism design. For example: K v : Make f increase smoothly as v changes to avoid excessive vibration. This can be used to test the reasonable upper limit of f at maximum speed.
[0054] K r and K d : Set the resistance threshold. When r exceeds the set value, n is significantly reduced and f is increased. Calibration method: Test under a known dust load to optimize cleaning efficiency and motor load.
[0055] K f and K n : Set the baseline value based on the no-load experiment (such as the initial value in steps 2 and 3).
[0056] Stability: Ensure K d Large enough to respond to resistance changes, but not so large as to cause oscillations; similarly, K v and K r Coordinate to avoid frequency overshoot.
[0057] In this embodiment, when the pressure values monitored by multiple second pressure sensors differ significantly or fluctuate significantly, the controller can determine the roller slippage and the movement stability of the cleaning mechanism based on the deviation value. If the pressure difference between sensors in symmetrical positions is persistently excessive, it indicates insufficient friction between the roller and the guide rail or an imbalance in load distribution, leading to some roller slippage. If the pressure values fluctuate at a high frequency, it indicates that the mechanism is subject to intermittent resistance impact and its movement trajectory is unstable. The controller immediately triggers the fault-tolerant mechanism, proactively reducing the drive motor speed, reducing the torque load on the slipping roller, increasing the linear vibration motor frequency in the abnormal pressure area, breaking up the localized ash layer to balance the resistance distribution. If the fluctuation exceeds the safety threshold, the faulty unit is paused and the adjacent mechanism is linked to take over the cleaning task. Simultaneously, the first pressure sensor data (speed feedback) is verified. If the actual centrifugal force does not match the drive speed, slippage is further confirmed. Vibration diffusion is suppressed through the mechanical constraint of the connecting beam. This converts pressure fluctuations into predictive control signals, proactively correcting slippage and instability without shutting down the machine, significantly improving cleaning continuity and mechanism reliability. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
