Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of modern coal chemical industry, in particular to a coal feeding system suitable for sequential interlocking control of lump coal. Background Art

[0002] In the technology of existing coal gasification equipment, the coal feeding system of the pressurized gasifier of various raw materials, lump coal (crushed coal), generally uses an intermittently operated coal lock bucket to feed coal into the gasifier through upper and lower valves. The coal lock needs to be frequently switched between normal pressure and high pressure. The upper and lower valves of the coal lock are opened frequently, and the pressure reduction and pressurization time is long, which causes the coal feeding system to consume a long time, is not conducive to the increase of the gasifier load, and is not conducive to the continuity and stability of the feed.

[0003] In addition, the frequent opening of the coal lock places high demands on the sealing and durability of the coal lock valve system. Since the lump coal (crushed coal) is hard and irregular in shape, it is easy to cause surface physical damage to the valve core of the upper and lower valves of the coal lock bucket during the falling process, and the valve is prone to leakage, which can easily cause the coal lock bucket to fail the airtightness inspection during the pressurization and depressurization of the coal lock bucket, resulting in interruption of normal operation.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a coal feeding system with sequential interlocking control suitable for lump coal, which includes a raw coal bin 1, a coal lock bucket 2, an upper pipeline 300, a gasifier 3, an upper pipeline 400, an upper spherical valve group 100 and a lower spherical valve group 200.

[0055] The raw coal bunker 1 is used to store raw material lump coal (crushed coal).

[0056] The coal lock hopper 2 is arranged downstream of the raw coal bunker 1 . The raw coal bunker 1 and the coal lock hopper 2 are connected through an upper pipeline 300 . The coal lock hopper 2 is used to transport the raw coal blocks into the gasifier 3 through sealing and pressurizing.

[0057] The gasifier 3 is disposed downstream of the coal lock hopper 2 , and the coal lock hopper 2 and the gasifier 3 are connected via an upper pipeline 400 .

[0058] The upper spherical valve group 100 is installed on the upper pipeline 300 near the raw coal bunker 1 to control the raw coal block (crushed coal) to fall from the raw coal bunker 1 to the coal lock hopper 2 to maintain good sealing performance of the coal lock hopper 2 under high pressure.

[0059] The lower spherical valve assembly 200 is installed on the upper pipeline 400 near the coal lock hopper 2 to control the raw material lump coal (crushed coal) to fall from the coal lock hopper 2 into the gasifier 3 and maintain good sealing performance of the coal lock hopper 2 under high pressure.

[0060] The upper spherical valve group 100 and the lower spherical valve group 200 both include a valve body, a valve core, a slag coal scraper, a purge device 4, a position feedback sensor and a control system.

[0061] When the valve core moves, the slag coal scraper scrapes off the slag coal on the valve core. When the valve core moves, the purge device 4 sprays high-pressure gas to blow off the slag coal on the valve core, thereby ensuring smooth coal discharge and pressure sealing of the raw coal bunker 1 and the coal lock hopper 2. In this embodiment, the purge device 4 is a high-pressure nitrogen purge device 4, but is not limited thereto.

[0062] The position feedback sensor is electrically connected to the control system, and the position feedback sensor and the control system are configured as follows: when the position feedback sensor detects that the lower spherical valve group 200 is closed, it sends a signal to the control system, and the control system can open the upper spherical valve group 100; when the position feedback sensor detects that the upper spherical valve group 100 is closed, it sends a signal to the control system, and the control system can open the lower spherical valve group 200.

[0063] That is, every time the coal lock hopper 2 needs to open the upper ball valve group 100 to feed coal, first check whether the lower ball valve group 200 of the upper pipeline 400 of the corresponding coal lock hopper 2 is closed. Only after the position feedback sensor detects the corresponding closing signal can the control system open the upper ball valve group 100 of the upper pipeline 300.

[0064] Every time the coal lock hopper 2 needs to feed coal into the gasifier 3, the lower spherical valve group 200 of the upper pipeline 400 needs to be opened. First, check whether the upper spherical valve group 100 of the corresponding upper pipeline 300 of the coal lock hopper 2 is closed. After the position feedback sensor detects the corresponding closing signal, the control system can open the lower spherical valve group 200 of the upper pipeline 400.

[0065] Moreover, each time the upper spherical valve group 100 or the lower spherical valve group 200 needs to be actuated, the corresponding high-pressure nitrogen purge device 4 must be opened to purge the valve core with high-pressure nitrogen. When the valve action is completed, the high-pressure nitrogen is closed after a delay of 5 seconds.

[0066] When the coal lock hopper 2 is adding coal, it is first detected whether the feedback signal of the upper spherical valve group 100 closing is received. After confirmation, the coal lock hopper 2 performs the pressurization operation again. After pressurizing to the pressure of the gasifier 3, the lower spherical valve group 200 is opened, and the raw material lump coal (crushed coal) enters the gasifier 3 through the upper pipeline 400. All the lump coal in the coal lock hopper 2 enters the gasifier 3. After the coal adding is completed, the lower spherical valve group 200 is closed. After receiving the feedback signal of the spherical valve group closing, the coal lock hopper 2 performs the pressure relief operation again. After the coal lock hopper 2 is depressurized to normal pressure, the coal lock hopper 2 can be added with coal again, and a new cycle begins.

[0067] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the coal lock hopper 2 comprises: a first coal lock hopper 2a, a second coal lock hopper 2b and a third coal lock hopper 2c which are arranged downstream of the raw coal bin 1.

[0068] Correspondingly, the upper pipeline 300 includes: a first upper pipeline 14 connecting the raw coal bin 1 and the first coal lock hopper 2a, a second upper pipeline 15 connecting the raw coal bin 1 and the second coal lock hopper 2b, and a third upper pipeline 16 connecting the raw coal bin 1 and the third coal lock hopper 2c.

[0069] The upper pipeline 400 includes: a first lower pipeline 24 connecting the second coal lock hopper 2 b and the gasifier 3 , a second lower pipeline 25 connecting the second coal lock hopper 2 b and the gasifier 3 , and a third lower pipeline 26 connecting the third coal lock hopper 2 c and the gasifier 3 .

[0070] The upper spherical valve group 100 includes: a first spherical valve group 11 installed on the first upper pipeline 14 near the raw coal bin 1, a second spherical valve group 12 installed on the second upper pipeline 15 near the raw coal bin 1, and a third spherical valve group 13 installed on the second upper pipeline 15 near the raw coal bin 1.

[0071] The lower spherical valve group 200 includes: a fourth spherical valve group 21 installed in the first lower pipeline 24 near the first coal lock bucket 2a, a fifth spherical valve group 22 installed in the second lower pipeline 25 near the second coal lock bucket 2b, and a sixth spherical valve group 23 installed in the third lower pipeline 26 near the third coal lock bucket 2c.

[0072] That is, the coal feeding system of the present embodiment with sequential interlocking control for lump coal has a raw coal bunker 1, three coal lock buckets, an upper spherical valve group 100 is installed on the upper pipeline of each coal lock bucket 2, and a lower spherical valve group 200 is installed on the lower pipeline of each coal lock bucket 2. Each upper spherical valve group 100 and lower spherical valve group 200 are equipped with a slag coal scraper, a high-pressure nitrogen purge pipe, a position feedback sensor and a control system. The opening and closing of the upper spherical valve group 100 and the lower spherical valve group 200 corresponding to each coal lock bucket 2 are sequentially operated, and interlocking control is realized through the position feedback sensor and the control system. The upper spherical valve group 100 and the lower spherical valve group 200 cannot be opened at the same time. Every time one of them needs to be opened, the other spherical valve group is guaranteed to be in a closed state.

[0073] The raw material lump coal (crushed coal) is alternately fed to the gasifier 3 by three coal lock hoppers through the corresponding upper pipeline 400 and the lower ball valve group 200. When any one coal lock hopper feeds coal to the gasifier 3 through the feeding pipeline, the other two coal lock hoppers feed from the raw coal bin 1 or the coal lock hopper valves are all locked. At any time, only one coal lock hopper feeds coal to the gasifier 3 through the feeding pipeline, which ensures the stability of the operation in the gasifier 3.

[0074] In this embodiment, the coal lock hopper 2 is periodically pressurized and depressurized. The upper spherical valve group 10020 minutes of each coal lock hopper 2 is opened once to deliver the normal pressure lump coal (crushed coal) into the coal lock hopper 2; the lower spherical valve group 20020 minutes of each coal lock hopper 2 is opened once to deliver the pressurized lump coal (crushed coal) into the gasifier 3.

[0075] The upper ball valve group 100 and the lower ball valve group 200 of this embodiment are both provided with a slag coal scraper and a high-pressure nitrogen purge device 4, a position feedback sensor and a control system. The utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the common ball valve group when the lump coal (broken coal) contacts the ball valve core, the ball valve core is easily worn, and the operation cycle is short. In addition, this embodiment adopts three coal lock buckets 2 to alternately feed coal to the gasifier 3, thereby overcoming the defects of discontinuous and unstable coal feeding and frequent equipment maintenance when the number of coal lock buckets 2 is small. The coal feeding system of this embodiment can stagger the coal feeding into the gasifier 3 at intervals. Each coal lock bucket is opened twice in 21 hours, and coal is fed into the gasifier 3 four times. The three upper pipelines 400 are evenly arranged with six unloading points, so that the coal feeding time is short and the coal seam is relatively flat, which effectively improves the coal feeding load of the gasifier 3, the continuity of the feeding process and the stability of the operation of the gasifier 3.
