Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a multi-layer pneumatic ash conveying device and its usage method, particularly to a multi-layer pneumatic ash conveying device and its usage method, belonging to the field of pneumatic ash conveying technology. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-layer diversion pneumatic ash conveying device is a closed system used in power plants, metallurgy and other industries for efficient conveying of fly ash or blast furnace ash. The device sets up multiple diversion ports and uses compressed air or nitrogen as a power source to make the ash material form a dense phase fluidized state in the conveying pipeline, thereby achieving stable conveying with low flow rate, low wear and high concentration. The diversion structure can ensure uniform feeding in each conveying branch, avoid blockage and flow deviation, improve the overall conveying efficiency and reliability of the system, and is suitable for complex working conditions with multiple ash hoppers arranged in parallel. In actual conveying processes, the double-layer butterfly valve is used to close and open the bottom of the feeding hopper. However, it is impossible to control the remaining amount of ash inside the hopper according to the actual situation, nor can it achieve simultaneous collection and pneumatic feeding. As a result, the conveying efficiency is low. Therefore, it is urgent to improve a multi-layer diversion pneumatic ash conveying device and its usage method to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layer diversion pneumatic ash conveying device and its usage method, in order to solve the problem that in the actual conveying process, the bottom of the feeding hopper is closed and opened by a double-layer butterfly valve, making it impossible to control the remaining amount of ash inside the hopper according to the actual situation, and also impossible to achieve simultaneous collection and pneumatic feeding, resulting in low conveying efficiency.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A multi-layered pneumatic ash conveying device and its usage method are disclosed, comprising a positive pressure air source, a silo pump sending tank, and a conveying pipe. A first pressure pipe, a second pressure pipe, and a third pressure pipe are installed at the air supply port on one side of the positive pressure air source. Metering valves are installed on the branch pipes of both the first and third pressure pipes. The end of the branch pipe of the third pressure pipe is connected to the upper end of the silo pump sending tank. A conveying pipe is installed at the lower end of the silo pump sending tank. A feeding silo is installed at the upper end of the silo pump sending tank. The feeding silo and the silo pump sending tank are connected by an exhaust pipe. A level gauge is installed on one side of the upper end of the silo pump sending tank. A transmission unit is installed inside the lower end of the feeding silo.

[0005] Furthermore, the feeding hopper includes a hopper body, with a feeding port in the middle of the upper end of the hopper body, a return air port on one side of the upper end of the hopper body, a piston column fixedly connected to one side of the lower end of the hopper body, and a connecting channel fixedly connected to the middle of the lower end of the hopper body.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting channel includes a channel body, an internal cavity is provided inside the channel body, a rotating hole is provided on the inner side of one end of the internal cavity, and sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the internal cavity. A lifting controller is fixedly connected inside the bottom end of the sliding groove, and a locking unit is slidably connected inside the sliding groove.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking unit includes a locking block, with sliders fixedly connected to both sides of the locking block, and arc-shaped teeth distributed on the upper end of the locking block.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission unit includes a first circular shaft, a second circular shaft fixedly connected to one end of the first circular shaft, wind turbine blades fixedly connected to the outer side of the second circular shaft in an annular pattern at equal intervals, a crank connecting rod fixedly connected to the other end of the first circular shaft, a third circular shaft fixedly connected to the other end of the crank connecting rod, locking grooves being formed in an annular pattern at equal intervals on the outer sides of both ends of the third circular shaft, feeding blades being fixedly connected to the outer side of the middle of the third circular shaft in an annular pattern at equal intervals, a connecting rod being installed on the outer side of the crank connecting rod, a piston being rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod, a vertical rod being fixedly connected to the upper end of the piston, and a spiral blade being fixedly connected to the outer side of the vertical rod.

[0009] Furthermore, there are two locking units, which are respectively located at the lower end of the locking grooves opened at both ends of the third circular shaft, and the third circular shaft is rotatably connected to the channel body.

[0010] Furthermore, the crank connecting rod is located at the lower end of the piston rod, the upper end of the piston is an inclined surface, and the piston and piston rod are slidably connected.

[0011] Furthermore, the second circular shaft and the impeller blades are both located on the inner side of the lower end of the exhaust pipe, and the second circular shaft is rotatably connected to the exhaust pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the exhaust pipe is U-shaped, with its upper end fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the silo body, and its lower end fixedly connected to one side of the silo pump sending tank. The silo body and the silo pump sending tank are connected through the exhaust pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, it includes the following steps: Step 1: During equipment operation, power is supplied via an external industrial power source. Once power is supplied, the equipment will begin operation. During operation, the silo is designed to transport the ash material placed inside. Step 2: During the conveying process, the silo pump sending tank is supplied with air through the third air pressure pipe branch. The air enters the silo pump sending tank, increasing its internal air pressure. After the air pressure inside the silo pump sending tank increases, some of the air enters the exhaust pipe. The impeller blades drive the third circular shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the first circular shaft, the third circular shaft, and the crank connecting rod to rotate. During the rotation of the crank connecting rod, the piston moves up and down through the connecting rod, which in turn drives the vertical rod and the spiral blade to move synchronously, in order to avoid the problem of material bridging inside the feeding silo. Step 3: At the same time, the air pressure inside the silo also increases synchronously, and the ash material inside the silo is continuously transported to the silo pump tank through the rotating feeding blades. When the ash material inside the silo pump tank is transported, the lifting controller pushes the locking block to move upward, so that the teeth contact the locking groove and lock the third rotating shaft. Step 4: After the third shaft is locked, the positive pressure air source runs for a period of time to complete the final conveying of the residual ash material inside the tank by the silo pump.

[0014] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, the rotation of the feeding blades can be controlled in real time during the conveying process through the transmission unit, thereby controlling the remaining amount of ash material inside the bin. During operation, it can achieve simultaneous collection and pneumatic feeding, effectively improving the conveying efficiency. 2. In this invention, the locking unit can be set up to lock the transmission unit at any time during actual operation, according to actual needs, thereby improving the range of applicable scenarios of the device. 3. In this invention, the crank connecting rod, connecting rod and piston can be set to drive the spiral blades and vertical rod to move up and down reciprocally by the operation of the transmission unit, thereby agitating the ash material inside the silo pump tank, effectively avoiding the problem of bridging of the ash material inside the silo pump tank, and further improving the stability of ash material transportation.

[0020] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, the principle of the multi-layer diversion pneumatic ash conveying device and its usage method provided in this embodiment is as follows: Includes the following steps: Step 1: During equipment operation, power is supplied via an external industrial power source. Once power is supplied, the equipment will begin operation. During operation, the silo 21 is designed to transport the ash material placed inside. Step 2: During the conveying process, the gas is supplied to the inside of the silo pump sending tank 3 through the third air pressure pipe 8 branch pipe.
