Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pneumatic chute material transportation, and more specifically to a structure for extending the service life of a pneumatic chute. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the aluminum electrolysis production process, pneumatic chutes are usually used as equipment for conveying powdered alumina materials, and are widely used in electrolytic cell feeding and electrolytic fume purification processes. The pneumatic chute includes an upper material chamber and a lower air chamber, which are separated by a layer of nylon permeable plate. High-pressure air enters the lower tank body from the air inlet through a hose, diffuses to the upper tank body through the permeable layer, and after the conveyed powder enters the upper tank from the feed port, it is filled with the airflow with a high flow rate on the permeable plate, filling the gaps between the powder particles and fluidizing. The fluidized powder material flows from high to low.

[0003] Problems with the existing technology: Due to defects in the design of the pneumatic chute, the alumina powder discharge pipe is at a 90-degree right angle to the pneumatic chute below, and the falling material directly impacts the air permeable plate, and the material has a high temperature, so the air permeable plate at the receiving point of the pneumatic chute and both sides of the trough body are easily damaged. After the air permeable plate is damaged, the material is fed into the air chamber, and the material cannot flow in the pneumatic chute, or there is material leakage on both sides of the trough body at the receiving point of the pneumatic chute, resulting in interruption of the transportation process, which has a serious impact on the feeding of the electrolytic cell and the feeding of the dust collector of the purification system of the electrolytic aluminum enterprise. At present, there is a lack of clear and effective protection measures for the air permeable plate and both sides of the trough body at the receiving point of the pneumatic chute. When the air permeable plate and both sides of the trough body are damaged, it is necessary to stop feeding, spend a lot of manpower and time to replace the pneumatic chute or repair the pneumatic chute body and replace the air permeable plate to resume material transportation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the utility model provides a structure for extending the service life of a pneumatic chute. When the alumina powder falls vertically along the discharge pipe, it does not directly contact the air permeable plate, but impacts the center of the air permeable plate protective device of the pneumatic chute to form a buffer layer of alumina material. After being buffered, the material further contacts the air permeable plate, thereby extending the service life of the pneumatic chute.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to the utility model, a structure for extending the service life of a pneumatic chute is provided, wherein a receiving point air plate is fixed at the receiving point in the material chamber, and the air plate protection device is installed above the receiving point air plate, and the air plate protection device comprises a first steel plate and a second steel plate hinged by a stainless steel hinge, and a rubber pad is provided under the first steel plate, the second steel plate and the stainless steel hinge, and air holes are provided on the surfaces of the first steel plate and the second steel plate; a through opening is opened on the pneumatic chute cover plate, and a normal pressure quick-opening hand hole is welded and installed thereon, and a sealing gasket is provided at the normal pressure quick-opening hand hole, and the air hole is provided to increase the fluidity of the material and prevent material blockage, and the normal pressure quick-opening hand hole is used for installing the air plate protection device of the pneumatic chute, optimizing the lining protection and observing the internal situation of the pneumatic chute, so as to prevent the pneumatic chute from being completely closed and unable to be observed and maintained. At the same time, by adding the air plate protection device of the pneumatic chute, the protection of the air plate of the receiving point of the pneumatic chute is optimized and upgraded, and the risk of the air plate being damaged due to scouring is eliminated.

[0006] Furthermore, the sealing gasket includes, from bottom to top, a lower cover plate, a wool pad and an upper cover plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the normal pressure quick-opening hand hole includes an eccentric wheel, a pressure rod, a first pressure cover ear, a second pressure cover ear and a rod handle. The first pressure cover ear and the second pressure cover ear are provided with coaxial holes, and both are fixedly mounted on the pneumatic chute cover plate. The pressure rod passes through the holes and is rotatably connected to the first pressure cover ear and the second pressure cover ear respectively. The eccentric wheel is fixed on the pressure rod and rotates synchronously. The rod handle is fixed on the pressure rod, and the eccentric wheel is tightly attached to the upper cover plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the first steel plate and the second steel plate are carbon steel plates.

[0009] Furthermore, protective steel plates are welded on the side walls of the material chamber on both sides of the air-permeable plate protection device to protect the side walls and eliminate the risk of breakdown and shutdown due to wear through by high-speed alumina powder.

[0010] In general, the above technical solutions conceived by the utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0011] (1) The utility model provides a structure for extending the service life of a pneumatic chute. When alumina powder falls vertically along a discharge pipe, it does not directly contact the air permeable plate, but impacts the center of the air permeable plate protective device of the pneumatic chute to form a buffer layer of alumina material. After the material is buffered, it further contacts the air permeable plate. The air holes can increase the fluidity of the material and prevent blockage. This method can better extend the service life of the pneumatic chute, so that the pneumatic chute has the conditions to extend its service life by more than twice.

[0012] (2) The utility model provides a structure for extending the service life of a pneumatic chute by optimizing and modifying the original structure. By modifying the pneumatic chute cover plate structure, a normal pressure quick-opening hand hole is welded and installed, which is used for installing a pneumatic chute air plate protection device, optimizing the lining protection, and observing the internal conditions of the pneumatic chute, thereby eliminating the problem that the pneumatic chute receiving point is completely closed and cannot be observed and maintained. At the same time, by adding a pneumatic chute air plate protection device, the air plate protection of the pneumatic chute receiving point is optimized and upgraded, eliminating the risk of damage to the air plate due to erosion.

[0013] (3) The utility model provides a structure for extending the service life of a pneumatic chute. By welding protective steel plates to the left and right side walls of the material chamber of the pneumatic chute, the side walls are protected and the risk of breakdown and shutdown caused by high-speed alumina powder being worn through is eliminated.
