Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of regenerative burner technology, and more particularly to an energy-saving regenerative burner device for aluminum smelting. Background Technology
[0002] The aluminum smelting energy-saving regenerative burner is a combustion system that uses ceramic regenerators to recover waste heat from high-temperature flue gas and use it to efficiently preheat combustion air. Through the ultimate recovery of waste heat, the system can reinvest a large amount of heat that was originally carried away by the exhaust gas into the smelting process, thereby significantly reducing the overall energy consumption of aluminum smelting.
[0003] In the operation and maintenance of existing regenerative burners, the regular replacement of the regenerator is a necessary task. The regenerator is prone to pulverization when it is in a high-temperature circulating environment for a long time. During the replacement process, because there is a perforated grid at the bottom of the regenerator, the powder generated when moving the regenerator can easily pass through the grid and remain at the bottom of the regenerator chamber. This not only increases the difficulty of cleaning, but also forces maintenance personnel to enter the regenerator chamber for manual cleaning, which consumes a lot of time and manpower, but also brings corresponding safety risks. Summary of the Invention

The middle section rod is a vertically arranged rectangular rod. The lower section rod is a horizontally arranged rectangular rod that is fixedly connected to the sealing plate. The limiting rod has an L-shaped structure.
[0011] Preferably, the second control unit includes a mounting plate fixedly connected to the machine body, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate, a push plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, an abutment plate is fixedly connected to the sealing door, and a semi-circular hole matching the outer edge contour of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is opened on the abutment plate, and a pressure sensor is embedded in the semi-circular hole.
[0012] Preferably, the machine body has a storage hole, and a guide post located in the storage hole is fixedly connected to the sealing door.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0020] This embodiment relates to an energy-saving regenerative burner device for aluminum smelting, see reference... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the aluminum smelting energy-saving regenerative burner device includes a body 1 with multiple regenerative chambers inside. A sealing door 2 corresponding to the regenerative chamber is provided on the side of the body 1. A handle is provided on the sealing door 2, and a silicone sleeve is provided on the handle. A regenerative body installation box 3 located in the regenerative chamber is slidably installed in the body 1. A regenerative body is installed in the regenerative body installation box 3.
[0021] A slide rail 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat storage chamber. A slide groove 6 corresponding to the slide rail 5 is provided on the heat storage body mounting box 3. The slide rail 5 and slide groove 6 guide and limit the movement of the heat storage body mounting box 3, helping to improve its stability during movement. A sliding plate 7 is fixedly connected to the heat storage body mounting box 3 and slidably mounted on the slide rail 5. The sliding connection between the sliding plate 7 and the heat storage body mounting box 3 ensures that the heat storage body mounting box 3 will not detach from the slide rail 5 when moved outside the machine body 1. This allows the heat storage body mounting box 3 to move outside the machine body 1 without detachment, so that after replacing the heat storage body, the operator does not need to re-mount it. The installation of the heat storage body mounting box 3 helps improve the installation efficiency of the heat storage body replacement. The bottom surface of the heat storage body mounting box 3 is movably installed with a grid 4 that moves against the heat storage body. The position of the holes on the grid 4 corresponds to the position of the holes in the heat storage body. Each honeycomb channel of the heat storage body is an independent micro heat exchange channel. The coaxial alignment of the holes of the grid 4 and the heat storage body channel forms a smooth and continuous flow channel. The gas can pass smoothly through the holes of the grid 4 and directly enter the heat storage body channel, minimizing additional resistance and thus saving energy consumption of the induced draft fan or blower. The area of the grid 4 is larger than the bottom surface area of the heat storage body mounting box 3.
[0022] A first control unit for controlling the opening and closing of the holes on the grille 4 is provided between the grille 4 and the sealing door 2. The first control unit includes a receiving groove 8 formed on the grille 4. The two ends of the opening of the receiving groove 8 are in active contact with the heat storage body mounting box 3 at corresponding positions to ensure the sealing of the heat storage body in the heat storage body mounting box 3. A sealing plate 9 for sealing the holes of the grille 4 is slidably installed on the receiving groove 8. The structure of the sealing plate 9 must correspond to the grille 4. While retaining the area in contact between the receiving groove 8 and the heat storage body mounting box 3, holes matching the holes of the grille 4 should also be provided to avoid affecting the continuity of the flow channel formed by the coaxial alignment of the grille 4 and the heat storage body channel. A guide plate 27 that is slidably connected to the heat storage body mounting box 3 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 9. A pin is installed on the side of the sealing door 2 near the heat storage chamber. Two connecting rods 10 are connected to the guide plate 27 by pins. It should be noted that the heat storage body mounting box 3 has guide holes for sliding installation of the guide plate 27. The distance between the two connecting rods 10 is greater than the width of the heat storage body mounting box 3 on the same side. Here, "same side" refers to the side of the heat storage body mounting box 3 closer to the connecting rods 10. An abutment rod 11 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 27. A limiting rod 12 corresponding to the abutment rod 11 is fixedly connected to the grid 4. The limiting rod 12 has an L-shaped structure. The movement stroke of the abutment rod 11 is limited by the limiting rod 12. After the limiting rod 12 and the abutment rod 11 move and abut against each other, the sealing plate 9 reaches its maximum movement stroke. At this time, the sealing plate 9 will completely cover the holes on the grid 4, thereby preventing the heat storage body powder from falling to the bottom of the heat storage chamber through the holes, which helps to ensure the cleanliness of the working environment inside the heat storage chamber.
[0023] The machine body 1 is equipped with a second control unit for controlling the opening and closing of the sealing door 2. The second control unit includes a mounting plate 13 fixedly connected to the machine body 1, a hydraulic cylinder 14 fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 13, a push plate 15 fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 14, and an abutment plate 16 fixedly connected to the sealing door 2. The abutment plate 16 has a semi-circular hole 17 that matches the outer contour of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 14. A pressure sensor is embedded in the semi-circular hole 17. When the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 makes contact with the semi-circular hole 17, the pressure signal detected by the pressure sensor will change, and the hydraulic cylinder 14 will... Upon receiving the signal, the device is activated, and then the push plate 15 drives the contact plate 16 to move vertically upward, thereby causing the sealing door 2 to release from the closed state of the body 1. The body 1 has a storage hole 18, and a guide post 19 located in the storage hole 18 is fixedly connected to the sealing door 2. A guide groove 20 is provided on the side of the body 1 with the sealing door 2. The depth of the storage hole 18 matches the maximum stroke of the sealing plate 9. The guide groove 20 consists of an upper groove and a lower groove. The width of the upper groove is equal to the diameter of the guide post 19, and the width of the lower groove is at least 1.2 times the diameter of the guide post 19.
[0024] The body 1 is equipped with a third control unit for controlling the horizontal movement of the heat storage tank 3 as the sealing door 2 opens and closes. The third control unit includes a telescopic block 26 fixedly connected to the heat storage tank 3. The telescopic block 26 is composed of two rectangular sleeves of different sizes connected movably. The depth of the receiving hole 18 and the maximum telescopic stroke of the telescopic block 26 match the maximum movement stroke of the sealing plate 9. A first connecting rod 21 is pin-connected between the telescopic block 26 and the side of the sealing door 2 near the heat storage tank 3. It should be noted that the length of the first connecting rod 21 is the same as the length of the connecting rod 10 to ensure that the first connecting rod 21 and the connecting rod 10 are connected. The transmission ratio of the two connecting rods 10 remains consistent, and the connection points on the heat storage body mounting box 3 and the grid 4 form a parallelogram with the corresponding connection points on the sealing door 2. This ensures that during the movement of the sealing door 2, the first connecting rod 21 always remains parallel to the connecting rod 10, and the displacements of the heat storage body mounting box 3 and the grid 4 in the vertical and horizontal directions are completely consistent. Both the first connecting rod 21 and the connecting rod 10 are mounted on the heat storage body mounting box 3, the grid 4, and the sealing door 2 via pins. This rotary pair provides the necessary rotational freedom while constraining the relative movement in other directions, ensuring the stability and precision of the entire linkage system.
[0025] In this embodiment, when the heat storage body needs to be replaced, the sealing door 2 is pulled. The sealing door 2 causes the guide post 19 to disengage from the receiving hole 18. The sealing door 2 drives the telescopic block 26 to extend and retract via the first connecting rod 21. The sealing door 2 drives the guide plate 27 to move horizontally via the connecting rod 10. The guide plate 27 drives the sealing plate 9 and the abutment rod 11 to move horizontally. The sealing door 2 drives the abutment plate 16 until the end of the guide post 19 near the receiving hole 18 and the guide groove 20 connect to the side wall of the receiving hole 18 in the longitudinal direction and become coplanar. At this time, the guide post 19 is completely disengaged from the receiving hole 18, the telescopic block 26 reaches its maximum extension and retraction stroke, the sealing plate 9 completely seals the holes on the grille 4, the abutment rod 11 and the limit rod 12 move against each other, and the semi-circular hole 17 moves against the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 14. The pressure signal detected by the pressure sensor will change. After receiving the signal, the hydraulic cylinder 14 will start and drive the abutment plate 16 to move vertically upward through the push plate 15, so that the sealing door 2 will be released from the closed state of the machine body 1. The sealing door 2 drives the heat storage box 3 to move horizontally through the first connecting rod 21. The sealing door 2 drives the guide plate 27 to move horizontally through the connecting rod 10. Since the abutment rod 11 and the limit rod 12 are in abutting state at this time, the guide plate 27 can drive the grille 4 to move horizontally. It should be noted that the movement of the grille 4 and the heat storage box 3 is synchronous until the heat storage box 3 is completely separated from the machine body 1. At this time, the sliding plate 7 is still located on the slide rail 5. At this time, the operator can pick up the heat storage body through the clamp. After the staff replaces the heat storage body, the hydraulic cylinder 14 drives the push plate 15 to move vertically downward. At this time, the sealing door 2 moves vertically downward under the action of gravity, so that the push plate 15 always moves against the contact plate 16. Since the force required for the heat storage body installation box 3 and the grid 4 to move is much greater than the force required for the telescopic block 26 and the sealing plate 9 to move, the telescopic block 26 and the sealing plate 9 will move first during the downward movement of the sealing door 2. At this time, the sealing plate 9 no longer blocks the holes on the grid 4 until the contact rod 11 moves against the heat storage body installation box 3 and the telescopic block 26 reaches its maximum stroke. At this time, the sealing door 2 will drive the heat storage body installation box 3 and the grid 4 to move towards the heat storage chamber through the first connecting rod 21 and the connecting rod 10 during the downward movement. When the guide column 19 is horizontally aligned with the receiving hole 18, the staff pushes the sealing door 2 so that the guide column 19 is completely inserted into the receiving hole 18. At this time, the heat storage body installation box 3 and the grid 4 are completely inserted into the working area.
[0026] In another embodiment, a collection box 22 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the body 1. A protective door 23 is hinged to the collection box 22 on the same side as the sealing door 2. A cylinder 24 is installed on the side wall of the collection box 22. A second connecting rod 25 is pin-connected between the cylinder 24 and the protective door 23. The cylinder 24 controls the opening and closing of the protective door 23 through the second connecting rod 25. The collection box 22 can be used as a temporary storage area for heat storage. The collection box 22 can be equipped with a partition. The internal space of the collection box 22 is divided into two storage spaces with different functions by the partition. One is used to store new heat storage and the other is used to store old heat storage. The temporary storage area can serve as a buffer in the maintenance process to ensure the orderly replacement of new and old heat storage. At the same time, it provides rapid access support for spare parts in the event of a sudden failure, reducing system downtime.
[0027] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to remove the heat storage body, the cylinder 24 is activated to drive one end of the second connecting rod 25 to move, and the other end of the second connecting rod 25 drives the protective door 23 to open, so that the staff can take out the old heat storage body.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
