Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of quench towers, and particularly to a quench tower for reducing flue gas temperature. Background Technology

[0002] A quench tower is an environmentally friendly device used to rapidly reduce the temperature of high-temperature flue gas. Its core function is to inhibit the formation of harmful substances such as dioxins through efficient cooling, while simultaneously removing acidic gases, pretreating particulate matter, and solidifying heavy metals.

[0003] The reference patent title is: A side-blown furnace flue gas quenching tower (patent publication number: CN223036908U). By setting up a filter plate and a scraper assembly, the filter plate filters the ash water generated by the combination of ash and liquid. Two winding rollers rotate in opposite directions. When one winding roller winds the traction wire, the other winding roller unwinds the traction wire, so that the scraper scrapes off the ash and slag at the upper end of the filter plate and resets, so as to prevent the ash and slag from accumulating on the filter plate and avoid clogging of the filter plate.

[0004] However, the following problems exist when implementing the above technical solutions: When the traction rope is pulled, part of it is exposed on the surface of the filter plate, and some dust may adhere to this position. The dust adhering to the surface of the traction rope will increase its roughness and increase the friction coefficient between the traction rope and the winding roller, requiring an increase in the power of the drive mechanism; at the same time, if there are hard particles in the dust, these particles may scratch the surface of the traction rope after adhering to the surface of the traction rope during the pulling or bending process, affecting its service life.

[0020] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a quench tower for reducing flue gas temperature, comprising a quench tower body 1, a filter screen 2 fixedly disposed inside the quench tower body 1, and a cleaning mechanism disposed between the quench tower body 1 and the filter screen 2, the cleaning mechanism comprising: A cleaning block 31 is slidably disposed inside the quench tower body 1. The cleaning block 31 is fixedly connected to the quench tower body 1 by a fixing component. The filter screen 2 is fixedly disposed inside the cleaning block 31. Two bent rods 32 are slidably connected inside the cleaning block 31. A cleaning rod 33 is fixedly disposed between the two bent rods 32. The cleaning rod 33 contacts the filter screen 2. The cleaning rod 33 is fixedly connected to the bent rod 32 by a connecting component. A sealing ring 34 is slidably connected to the surface of the bent rod 32. A drive rod 35 is rotatably installed inside the quench tower body 1. A reciprocating assembly is provided between the drive rod 35 and the bending rod 32. The reciprocating assembly is used to drive the bending rod 32 to move back and forth inside the cleaning block 31. In summary, the quench tower for reducing flue gas temperature provided by the embodiments of the present invention includes a cleaning block 31 slidably disposed inside the quench tower body 1. A filter screen 2 is disposed inside the cleaning block 31. A sliding cleaning rod 33 and two bending rods 32 are disposed on the surface of the cleaning block 31. The surface of the cleaning rod 33 is in contact with the surface of the filter screen 2. The bending rods reciprocate within the cleaning block 31 via a reciprocating assembly. The cleaning rod 33 and the bending rods 32 are detachably connected. Under the action of the reciprocating assembly and the bending rods, the cleaning rod 33 can reciprocate on the surface of the filter screen 2 to clean the surface of the filter screen 2. At the same time, only the cleaning rod 33 cleans or contacts the ash on the surface of the filter screen 2. The bending rods 32 or driving rods 35 that drive the cleaning rod 33 do not contact the ash, ensuring that the driving position of the structure does not adsorb ash. Moreover, the entire cleaning block 31 can slide out of the quench tower body 1, which can selectively clean the cleaning rod 33, avoid excessive ash accumulation on the surface of the cleaning rod 33, and avoid increasing the power of the driving mechanism of the driving rod 35. In some specific embodiments, the fixing component includes a fixing block 41 fixedly disposed on the surface of the quench tower body 1. A protruding rod 42 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing block 41, and a protruding shaft 43 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning block 31. A fixing screw 44 is threadedly connected between the protruding rod 42 and the protruding shaft 43. The fixing screw 44 can directly limit the position between the protruding rod 42 and the protruding shaft 43, and the position of the protruding rod 42 is fixed to the quench tower body 1, thereby limiting the position of the cleaning block 31. At the same time, the fixing block 41 can support the position of the cleaning block 31 when the cleaning block 31 slides, preventing the cleaning block 31 from changing its sliding trajectory under the action of gravity. In a further embodiment, the protruding rod 42 is provided with an inner groove, and the protruding shaft 43 is adapted to the inner groove. By providing the inner groove on the surface of the protruding rod 42, the position of the protruding shaft 43 on the surface of the protruding rod 42 is further restricted. When the protruding rod 42 contacts the protruding shaft 43, the protruding rod 42 is located outside the protruding shaft 43. At this time, the fixing screw 44 is inserted from the protruding rod 42 into the direction of the inner groove, which can quickly limit the movement of the protruding shaft 43. Moreover, there is no obstruction in the current operating direction of the fixing screw 44, which facilitates quick installation by the operator. In some specific implementations, a plurality of connecting rods 45 are fixedly connected to the surface of the quench tower body 1. The connecting rods 45 are fixedly connected to the fixing block 41, and the projection of the connecting rods 45 toward the protruding rod 42 is located on the surface of the recessed groove. The connecting rods 45 are provided to maintain the stable connection between the quench tower body 1 and the fixing block 41, and can limit the sliding distance of the protruding shaft 43 on the surface of the protruding block. A sealing ring (not shown in the figure) is provided between the cleaning block 31 and the quench tower body 1. In some specific implementations, the connecting assembly includes a connecting ring 51 rotatably disposed at the end of the cleaning rod 33. The surface of the bent rod 32 has an internal groove and a bending groove 52. The connecting ring 51 is adapted to the internal groove, and the internal groove communicates with the bending groove 52. A connecting post 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting ring 51, and the connecting post 53 is adapted to the bending groove 52. By aligning the connecting ring 51 with the internal groove, the connecting ring 51 can be inserted into the inside of the bent rod 32. The bending groove 52 is formed on the surface of the bent rod 32. The connecting post 53 is slid into the inside of the bending groove 52. After rotation, the sliding trajectory of the connecting post 53 can be restricted according to the shape of the bending groove 52, preventing the connecting ring 51 from disengaging from the bending groove 52. In a further embodiment, the cleaning rod 33 has a C-shaped cross-section, and a fixing rod 54 is threadedly connected between the connecting ring 51 and the bending rod 32. Inserting the fixing rod 54 between the connecting ring 51 and the bending rod 32 can limit the position of the connecting ring 51 inside the bending rod 32, thereby limiting the positions of the bending rod 32 and the cleaning rod 33. After the positions of the bending rods 32 at both ends of the cleaning rod 33 are limited, the cleaning rod 33 is difficult to rotate on its own, ensuring that the cleaning rod 33 is stable in position when it moves back and forth. In some specific implementations, the reciprocating assembly includes a drive ring 61 fixedly disposed on the surface of the bent rod 32, a drive column 62 fixedly connected to the surface of the drive ring 61, and a spiral ring groove 63 formed on the surface of the drive rod 35, the spiral ring groove 63 being adapted to the drive column 62; In a further embodiment, a motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning block 31, the end of the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to the drive rod 35, and the motor is electrically connected to an external power source; In some specific implementations, two collection boxes 71 are slidably connected inside the cleaning block 31. The collection boxes 71 are fixed to the cleaning block 31 by screws. The two collection boxes 71 are symmetrically arranged relative to the filter screen 2 and are located on both sides of the cleaning rod 33. In a further embodiment, a shielding cover 72 is fixedly connected to the surface of the collection box 71. The surface of the shielding cover 72 has an arc-shaped groove, and the projected edge of the shielding cover 72 facing the filter screen 2 coincides with the edge of the filter screen 2. The shielding cover 72 with the arc-shaped groove on the surface of the collection box 71 can guide the ash water falling inside the quench tower 1 to concentrate on the surface of the filter screen 2, preventing the ash water from directly entering the interior of the collection box 71. When the cleaning rod 33 slides to the edge of the filter screen 2, it can push the ash slag into the interior of the collection box 71 for convenient centralized treatment of the ash slag. In a further embodiment, an arc rod 73 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cleaning block 31. The cross-section of the arc rod 73 is an isosceles triangle. The arc rod 73 with the isosceles triangle shape on the surface of the cleaning block 31 can guide the movement of ash and slag on the surface of the cleaning block 31, so that the ash and slag can be separated from the cleaning block 31 and prevent the ash and slag from being adsorbed onto the surface of the cleaning block 31. In some specific implementations, each end of the sealing ring 34 is fixedly connected to a movable shaft, the surface of the bent rod 32 is provided with a movable groove 74, the movable groove 74 is a semi-open groove, and the movable shaft is adapted to the movable groove 74; the surface of the cleaning block 31 is provided with a through groove, and the through groove is adapted to the sealing ring 34; In a further embodiment, a sliding groove is formed on the surface of the cleaning block 31, the sliding groove is adapted to the sealing ring 34, the through groove and the sliding groove are arranged perpendicularly in space, and a protruding ring 75 is fixedly connected to the end of the cleaning rod 33, the protruding ring 75 covers the sliding groove; a sliding sealing ring 34 is set in the sliding path of the bent rod 32 to prevent ash or ash water from entering the interior of the cleaning block 31, and to prevent the surface of the drive rod 35 from being adhered to by ash or affected by ash water.

[0022] Working principle of the invention: When filtering ash and slag, the motor is started, and the ash water inside the quench tower 1 flows to the surface of the filter screen 2. Part of it contacts the shielding cover 72 and flows to the filter screen 2 under the action of the arc groove. The motor starts, causing the drive rod 35 to rotate, which drives the drive ring 61 on the surface of the drive rod 35 to move back and forth, which in turn causes the bending rod 32 to move back and forth, driving the cleaning rod 33 to move back and forth on the surface of the filter screen 2, pushing the ash and slag on the surface of the filter screen 2 into the collection box 71. When the ash and slag stored in the collection box 71 reaches a certain amount, the motor is turned off and the spraying and ventilation into the quench tower 1 are stopped. Then the collection box 71 is taken out and cleaned. When it is necessary to replace the sealing ring 34 or the cleaning rod 33, first rotate the fixing screw 44 to disengage the fixing screw 44 from the protruding shaft 43, slide the cleaning block 31, and when replacing the sealing ring 34, slide the end of the sealing ring 34 to slide the moving shaft out of the moving groove 74, and then take it out from the through groove position; when replacing the cleaning rod 33, first rotate the fixing rod 54 to disengage the fixing rod 54 from the connecting ring 51, then rotate the connecting ring 51 to slide the connecting post 53 into the vertical area of ​​the bending groove 52, and then pull the cleaning rod 33 to disengage the connecting ring 51 from the inner groove, and then the cleaning rod 33 can be taken out.

[0023] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely a few specific examples of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
