DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of this application; the terms used in the specification of the application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of this application or the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0020] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] The utility model embodiment provides an air preheater soot blower, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the air preheater sootblower comprises: a beam body 1, on which a wall box 2 is arranged, and a sootblower lance 3 for blowing and cleaning the boiler air preheater is arranged on the air outlet end of the wall box 2; an air inlet valve 4, which is fixed on the beam body 1, and an inner pipe for supplying air to the wall box 2 is fixedly installed on the air outlet end of the air inlet valve 4; a temperature control box 5 for controlling the outlet air temperature, and the temperature control box 5 is arranged on one side of the beam body 1; an air supply pipe 6, which is fixedly installed in the temperature control box 5, and the air outlet end of the air supply pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the air inlet end of the air inlet valve 4; a fan 7 for supplying air, and the fan 7 is fixedly installed on the temperature control box 5; a connecting pipe 8, which is fixedly connected to the temperature control box 5, and the air inlet end of the connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the temperature control box 5; a dust filtering mechanism for filtering dust in the air entering the fan 7, and the dust filtering mechanism is arranged on the temperature control box 5.

[0022] It should be noted that, however, long-term operation and impurities carried in the fuel will inevitably lead to the accumulation of dust and scale on the heat exchange surface of the air preheater. These deposits not only adhere to the heat exchange surface, but may also accumulate in the gaps and corners of the equipment, thus seriously affecting its heat exchange efficiency. Specifically, the presence of dust and scale will hinder the transfer of heat, resulting in reduced heat exchange effect, which in turn reduces the combustion efficiency of the boiler and increases energy consumption; in addition, these deposits may also have a further negative impact on the operation of the air preheater; they may change the surface properties of the heat exchange surface, increase friction and resistance, make the air flow poor, and may even cause equipment failure. More seriously, if the accumulation of dust and scale reaches a certain extent, it may also affect the stable operation of the entire boiler system, causing shutdown or more serious consequences; although the traditional manual cleaning method can solve this problem to a certain extent, this method has many inconveniences and limitations. First, manual cleaning requires a lot of manpower and time, and is inefficient. Secondly, since the air preheater is usually located inside the boiler, the working environment is harsh, the temperature is high, and there is a lot of dust, which poses a threat to the health and safety of the cleaning personnel. Furthermore, manual cleaning is often difficult to completely remove all sediments, especially for some hard-to-reach areas, the effect is even more limited; therefore, in order to solve the above problems, it is particularly urgent to develop an efficient, safe and reliable automatic dust removal equipment;

[0023] In this embodiment, the beam body 1 serves as the basic supporting structure of the entire sootblower. The beam body 1 stably carries key components such as the wall box 2 and the air inlet valve 4, ensuring the stability and reliability of the sootblower during operation; the wall box 2 serves as a key component connecting the sootblowing gun 3 and the air supply system, and the sootblowing gun 3 provided on the air outlet end thereof can directly blow air to clean the boiler air preheater. The sealing design of the wall box 2 effectively prevents gas leakage and ensures the maximum sootblowing effect; the sootblowing gun 3 serves as a cleaning tool that directly acts on the heat exchange surface, and can quickly and effectively remove dust and scaling attached to the heat exchange surface through high-pressure gas injection. This design greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and reduces energy consumption; the air inlet valve 4 is responsible for controlling the flow of gas, and the inner tube fixedly installed on its outlet end transports the gas to the wall box 2, providing a stable gas source for the sootblowing gun 3; the precise control of the air inlet valve 4 ensures the stability of the gas flow during the sootblowing process and improves the cleaning effect; the setting of the temperature control box 5 enables the sootblower to adjust the outlet temperature according to actual needs, avoiding damage to the heat exchange surface due to excessively high or low temperature. This design not only improves the safety of the soot blower, but also extends the service life of the heat exchange surface; the air supply pipe 6 transports the air generated by the fan 7 to the temperature control box 5, providing a stable air source for the soot blower. The efficient operation of the fan 7 ensures sufficient gas supply and meets the long-term and high-intensity cleaning requirements; the connecting pipe 8 connects the air outlet of the temperature control box 5 with the outside world, ensuring the gas circulation in the temperature control box 5 and preventing safety hazards caused by gas accumulation; the dust filter mechanism is set on the temperature control box 5, which can effectively filter the dust in the air entering the fan 7, preventing the dust from damaging the fan 7 and the entire air supply system.

[0025] In this embodiment, the filter box 9 is arranged on the top of the temperature control box 5, and is fixedly connected with the air inlet end of the fan 7 through a pipeline; this means that the air entering the fan 7 must first be filtered by the filter box 9 to ensure the cleanliness of the air, thereby avoiding the damage of dust and impurities to the fan 7 and the entire air supply system; inside the filter box 9, a number of detachable filter plates 10 are vertically installed. These filter plates 10 can effectively filter out dust and impurities in the air, ensuring that only clean air can enter the fan 7; and the detachable design of the filter plate 10 makes it more convenient to clean and replace the filter plate 10, improving the convenience of maintenance; the air inlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the filter box 9, responsible for introducing the outside air into the filter box 9; since the connection between the air inlet pipe 11 and the filter box 9 is fixed, this ensures the smooth introduction of air, and also prevents dust and impurities from entering from the connection.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of electric heating tubes 12 for heating air are arranged in the temperature control box 5, a thermostat for controlling the start and stop of the electric heating tubes 12 is arranged on one side of the temperature control box 5, and an assembly frame 13 for supporting the temperature control box 5 is fixedly installed on the beam body 1.
