For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] According to the first aspect of the present application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a regulating device for a coal-fired power plant pulverizing system is provided, which can fundamentally solve the problems of traditional mechanical shrinkage regulation, such as jamming, easy wear and tear, and large maintenance amount, and can realize that the deviation of the primary air flow of each powder conveying pipe 1 is controlled within ±5%, and the boiler combustion condition is optimized.

[0024] Specifically, the regulating device for the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system comprises: a powder conveying pipe 1, an annular air ring 11 is arranged on the side wall of the powder conveying pipe 1; a regulating unit 2, the regulating unit 2 comprises a first part 21 and a second part 22 which are hollow, the regulating unit 2 is sleeved on the outside of the powder conveying pipe 1, and the first part 21 is sealingly connected with the annular air ring 11 through the second part 22; wherein a preset included angle is formed between the central axis of the second part 22 and the central axis of the powder conveying pipe 1; wherein the regulating unit 2 and the annular air ring 11 form a novel air ring sealing type shrinkage structure; a sealing air pipe 3, the sealing air pipe 3 is connected with the first part 21; high-pressure sealing air is sequentially sprayed from the annular air ring 11 to the inside of the powder conveying pipe 1 through the sealing air pipe 3, the first part 21 and the second part 22 at high speed, and an annular air curtain barrier is formed at the center of the powder conveying pipe 1 to regulate the air flow of the powder conveying pipe 1. Wherein, the high-pressure sealing air can be taken from the outlet of the primary air fan or an independent sealing air fan.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, high-pressure sealing air is sequentially sprayed from the annular air ring 11 to the inside of the powder conveying pipe 1 through the sealing air pipe 3, the first part 21 and the second part 22 at high speed, and an annular air curtain barrier is formed at the center of the powder conveying pipe 1 to regulate the air flow of the powder conveying pipe 1. Since the air curtain itself produces throttling effect on the coal powder flow in the powder conveying pipe 1, by adjusting the air flow or air pressure of the sealing air in the sealing air pipe 3, the stiffness and air flow of the air curtain can be changed, so as to dynamically change the pipe resistance in the powder conveying pipe 1, realize the air flow regulation of the powder conveying pipe 1 and ensure that the air flow deviation value of the powder conveying pipe 1 is within the preset range, and the boiler combustion condition is better optimized.

[0026] It should be noted that, since the adjusting unit 2 and the annular air ring 11 form a new type of air ring sealing type orifice structure, the limitations of the traditional mechanical adjusting type orifice are broken, and the traditional mechanical adjusting valve core is abandoned, and the pneumatic sealing and throttling principle is adopted. Among them, the throttling principle is as follows: Because the air curtain itself has a throttling effect on the pulverized coal gas flow in the powder conveying pipe 1, by adjusting the air volume or air pressure of the sealing air, the stiffness and air volume of the air curtain can be changed, thereby dynamically changing the pipeline resistance in each powder conveying pipe 1, thereby realizing the air volume adjustment of the powder pipe. In addition, by cooperating with the closed-loop logic operation system, the air volume deviation in each powder conveying pipe 1 is always controlled within ±5%. Further, the high-speed air curtain simultaneously isolates the direct contact of the pulverized coal and the new type of air ring sealing type orifice structure, and fundamentally eliminates the disadvantages of the traditional orifice that cannot be adjusted due to the long-term accumulation of coal powder in the components.

[0027] Optionally, the adjusting device of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system further comprises an air volume measuring unit, which is arranged in the powder conveying pipe 1 and is used for measuring the air volume in the powder conveying pipe 1 in real time. For example, the air volume measuring unit can adopt a wind-powder online monitoring device based on the differential pressure principle.

[0028] In the above embodiment, the air volume measuring unit can accurately and in real time measure the air volume in the powder conveying pipe 1, thereby helping to accurately adjust the air volume in each powder conveying pipe 1.

[0029] Optionally, the adjusting device of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system further comprises an adjusting valve, which is arranged in the sealing air pipe 3 and is used for adjusting the air volume of the high-pressure sealing air in the sealing air pipe 3. For example, the adjusting valve can be pneumatic or electric. The adjusting valve can better adjust the air volume of the high-pressure sealing air in the sealing air pipe 3, thereby helping to adjust the air volume deviation value in each powder conveying pipe 1.

[0030] Optionally, the adjusting device of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system further comprises a controller, the air volume measuring unit and the adjusting valve are connected with the controller, and the controller is used for calculating an air volume deviation value according to a measured value of the air volume measuring unit and an air volume set value, and controlling the opening degree of the adjusting valve according to the air volume deviation value so that the air volume deviation value is within a preset range.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the opening degree of the adjusting valve can be effectively adjusted by the controller, thereby better ensuring that the air volume deviation value in each powder conveying pipe 1 is within a preset range.

[0032] Optionally, the adjusting device of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system further comprises a wind pressure monitoring unit and an alarm unit, the wind pressure monitoring unit is arranged in the sealing air pipe 3 and is used for measuring the wind pressure in the sealing air pipe 3; the wind pressure monitoring unit and the alarm unit are connected with the controller. When the air pressure in the sealing air pipe 3 is less than a preset threshold value, an alarm or interlock protection is triggered, and measures such as reducing the output of the coal mill or cutting the mill can be taken.

[0033] In the above embodiment, the minimum pressure difference required for effective sealing and throttling of the air curtain in the powder feeding pipe 1 can be ensured, and the safe and stable operation of the regulating device of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system can be ensured.

[0034] Optionally, the preset range is ±5%. This helps to ensure that the flow in each powder feeding pipe 1 approaches balance, thereby optimizing the boiler combustion condition.

[0035] Optionally, the preset included angle is 30°. This helps to ensure the effectiveness of the novel air ring sealing type contraction hole structure formed by the regulating unit 2 and the annular air ring 11, so that an air curtain barrier can be formed in the powder feeding pipe 1.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, the regulating device of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system not only prolongs the service life of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system, completely eliminates coal powder erosion and wear, doubles the service life of the equipment, greatly reduces the replacement frequency and spare parts cost, but also has a simple and reliable structure, significantly reduces the maintenance cost and workload, basically realizes "maintenance-free", reduces the operation and maintenance intensity of the power plant and the shutdown loss. Further, precise, rapid and automatic regulation can be realized, which lays a solid foundation for optimizing the air-powder ratio, improving the boiler combustion efficiency and responding to load changes.

[0037] In addition, the regulating device of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system not only has excellent sealing and environmental protection, i.e. the dynamic air curtain effectively isolates coal powder leakage, greatly improves the working environment, reduces the safety risk, and meets the increasingly strict environmental protection requirements, but also improves the system operation reliability, i.e. avoids mechanical jamming failure, reduces unplanned mill shutdown, and improves the unit operation stability. In addition, based on the optimized system design, key hardware support is provided for intelligent upgrading of the pulverizing system and full-automatic combustion control.

[0038] According to a second aspect of the present application, referring to Figure 3 , a regulating method of a coal-fired power plant pulverizing system is provided, comprising the following steps: Step S1, measuring the air volume in the powder feeding pipe 1 in real time to obtain an air volume measurement value; Step S2, calculating an air volume deviation value according to the air volume measurement value and an air volume set value; Step S3, controlling the opening degree of the regulating valve according to the air volume deviation value, changing the air volume in the powder feeding pipe 1 by adjusting the air volume of the high-pressure sealing air in the sealing air pipe 3, and making the air volume deviation value within a preset range.

[0039] In the above-mentioned embodiments, by virtue of the innovative pneumatic throttling and sealing principle, the core problems of wear, leakage, jamming, and large maintenance amount faced by the traditional mechanical throttle in the application of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system are effectively solved. The introduction of the regulating unit 2 and the sealing air pipe 3 brings the advantages of super-long service life, extremely low maintenance, precise control, and excellent sealing, and the like, and thus the device has significant comprehensive competitiveness in economy, safety, and environmental protection in long-term operation, and is an advanced technical direction to replace the traditional mechanical throttle, and is especially suitable for modern power plants with high requirements for reliability, automation level, and environmental protection.

[0040] Optionally, the regulating method of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system further comprises: The air pressure in the sealing air pipe 3 is measured, and when the air pressure in the sealing air pipe 3 is less than a preset threshold value (i.e., the air pressure in the sealing air pipe 3 is lower than the minimum effective sealing differential pressure), an alarm or interlock protection is triggered. That is, when the sealing air differential pressure in each sealing air pipe 3 is abnormal, the air volume regulating function of each sealing air pipe 3 will fail, at which time, the system alarms and triggers the interlock protection of the coal mill.

[0041] In the above-mentioned embodiments, the stability of the regulating device of the coal-fired power plant pulverizing system is helped to be ensured, so that the coal mill is better protected.

[0042] Optionally, the air direction of the high-pressure sealing air when entering the pulverizing pipe 1 through the annular air ring 11 is opposite to the flow direction of the air and coal powder in the pulverizing pipe 1. This helps to form an annular air curtain barrier in the center of the pulverizing pipe 1, so that the air volume of the pulverizing pipe 1 can be better regulated. It can be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are only exemplary embodiments for illustrating the principles of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto. Various modifications and improvements can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the present application, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the protection scope of the present application.
