Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air preheaters, in particular to a sealing component for air preheaters. Background Art

[0002] An air preheater is a device used to improve the heat exchange performance of a boiler and reduce energy consumption. It is usually divided into plate air preheaters, tubular air preheaters and rotary air preheaters. The rotary air preheater is a regenerative air preheater that uses flue gas and air to alternately pass through a metal heating surface to heat the air. It has the advantages of compact structure, small size and light weight, and is suitable for use in large boilers. However, it has a complex structure, is difficult to maintain and overhaul, and has a large amount of air leakage.

[0003] The rotary air preheater rotates slowly when working. The flue gas enters the flue gas side of the air preheater and is then discharged. The heat carried by the flue gas is absorbed by the heat sink. As the air preheater rotates, the heat sink moves to the air side and transfers the heat to the air. The air is heated and then transmitted to the boiler, thereby increasing the combustion temperature and promoting the complete combustion of the fuel. The higher combustion temperature speeds up the chemical reaction rate, making the combustion more complete and reducing the generation of incompletely burned fuel and carbon monoxide.

[0004] A common sealing assembly of a rotary air preheater usually comprises a partition in a rotor in contact with a fixed fan-shaped sealing plate to limit direct flow between flue gas and air. However, since the fan-shaped sealing plate is fixed, deformation of the partition in the rotor due to thermal expansion and contraction may easily cause a gap between the partition and the fan-shaped sealing plate, resulting in poor sealing effect and direct flow of flue gas and air. In view of this, the present application proposes a sealing assembly for an air preheater. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a sealing assembly for an air preheater, which has the advantages of being able to adjust the position of a fan-shaped sealing plate so that the fan-shaped sealing plate maintains contact with the partition plate, and solves the problem that the fan-shaped sealing plate is fixed, and the partition plate in the rotor is deformed due to thermal expansion and contraction, which easily leads to a gap between the partition plate and the fan-shaped sealing plate, resulting in poor sealing effect and direct circulation of flue gas and air.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a sealing assembly for an air preheater, comprising a shell, the top and bottom of the shell are fixedly mounted with fixed horizontal plates, a central column is rotatably mounted between two of the fixed horizontal plates, a plurality of partitions are fixedly mounted on the surface of the central column, a heat sink is fixedly mounted between two adjacent partitions, an outer cylinder is fixedly mounted on one side of the partition, and a sealing assembly is arranged on the fixed horizontal plate;

[0007] The sealing assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder fixedly mounted on the side of the fixed cross plate away from the partition, a pressure plate fixedly mounted on the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder, two rows of springs fixedly mounted on the bottom of the pressure plate, and a fan-shaped sealing plate fixedly mounted on the bottom of the spring.

[0008] Furthermore, one end of the fan-shaped sealing plate is in contact with the surface of the central column, and the other end of the fan-shaped sealing plate is flush with the outer side of the outer cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom and the bottom of the partition are fixedly mounted with contact round heads, and the bottom of the fan-shaped sealing plate is provided with a nearly rounded corner.

[0010] Furthermore, two sealing rings are fixedly installed on the surface of the outer cylinder, and two sealing grooves matched with the sealing rings are fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the outer shell.

[0011] Furthermore, a rotating gear is fixedly mounted on the surface of the outer cylinder, and the rotating gear is located between the two sealing rings.

[0012] Furthermore, a mounting box is fixedly mounted on the surface of the housing, and a driving gear meshing with the rotating gear is arranged inside the mounting box.

[0013] Furthermore, a reducer is fixedly installed on the top of the installation box, a rotating motor whose output end is fixedly connected to the input end of the reducer is fixedly installed on the top of the reducer, and the output end of the reducer is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the driving gear.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a sealing assembly for an air preheater, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The sealing assembly for the air preheater is provided on a fixed transverse plate, and a hydraulic cylinder in the sealing assembly drives a pressure plate to move, thereby driving a fan-shaped sealing plate at one end of a spring to move, so as to adjust the position of the fan-shaped sealing plate. When the partition plate is deformed, the fan-shaped sealing plate is always in contact with the upper and lower ends of the partition plate to maintain the sealing effect, thereby solving the problem that the fan-shaped sealing plate is fixed, and the partition plate in the rotor is deformed due to thermal expansion and contraction, which easily leads to a gap between the partition plate and the fan-shaped sealing plate, resulting in poor sealing effect and direct circulation of flue gas and air.

[0024] Secondly, one end of the sector-shaped sealing plate 64 contacts the surface of the central column 3 , and the other end of the sector-shaped sealing plate 64 is flush with the outer side of the outer tube 5 .
