Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cement clinker conveying, and particularly relates to a cement clinker cooling and conveying structure. Background Technique
[0002] In the building materials industry, the fourth-generation walking grate cooler is widely used for cooling high-temperature clinker. The grate bed of the walking grate cooler is divided into multiple columnar units. First, all columnar units move forward together. Second, some columnar units move backward in batches. Finally, all columnar units retreat to the initial position. This movement process is called a cycle of the operation of the walking grate cooler. The grate bed can complete the forward conveying of the clinker after several cycles of the above movement. There are gaps and interlaced movements between the columnar units. Therefore, there is an inter-column seal between the columnar units to prevent the clinker on the grate bed from leaking into the lower air chamber of the grate. In addition, the cooling air enters the grate bed along the gaps of the grate plates to cool the high-temperature clinker. The high-temperature clinker particles are in a suspended state under the action of the cooling air, and their fluidity is very good, similar to a fluid, and it is very easy to leak into the air chamber from the gaps between the inter-column seals. In addition, the cooling air in the lower air chamber of the grate has a certain pressure, and there is also a large pressure difference between the air chambers. This pressure difference will also exacerbate the leakage of the clinker into the air chamber along the longitudinal direction.
[0003] At present, the common treatment methods for the easy leakage of the walking grate cooler are as follows: using a more precise method to cast the inter-column seal to reduce the gap, using a more complex seal structure and form, using more expensive wear-resistant materials to extend the service life, using a larger fan to maintain pressure to reduce leakage, etc. The above treatment methods will bring higher manufacturing costs and later operation and maintenance costs, and will also bring higher cooling power consumption, and even affect the normal process requirements and use of the cooling fan, that is, on the basis of considering the cooling effect, it is also necessary to take into account the role of maintaining pressure and preventing leakage.
[0004] Even if the above or other similar optimization schemes are adopted, the walking grate cooler will still leak to varying degrees in actual use. Especially after using for a period of time, the maze gap of the inter-column seal will become larger and larger, resulting in more and more serious leakage, so that the entire air chamber will be filled in a very short time, and even the situation of burning out the hydraulic oil pipe in the air chamber after the high-temperature clinker leaks will occur, which will then lead to the stop of the production line. It is necessary to replace the vulnerable inter-column seal spare parts and then manually clean the leaked materials, which is time-consuming and laborious and seriously affects production.
[0005] The main problems of the existing walking grate cooler are as follows:
[0006] 1. The walking grate cooler often leaks to varying degrees in actual use, and it needs to be manually cleaned after stopping the kiln, which affects production.
[0007] 2. The service life of the inter-column sealing device is relatively short. Moreover, as the usage time of the inter-column seal increases, the material leakage situation becomes more serious, requiring frequent replacement, resulting in high operation and maintenance costs.
[0008] 3. The structure of the inter-column seal is becoming increasingly complex, and the materials are also getting more expensive, leading to higher manufacturing and maintenance costs.
[0009] 4. To prevent material leakage, there are certain requirements for the air pressure difference between the cooling air chamber and the air chambers. However, this often affects the process requirements of the cooling fan, making it difficult to balance the two functions of cooling and maintaining pressure to prevent material leakage. At the same time, maintaining pressure will also bring higher additional cooling power consumption. Utility Model Content

[0039] Attached Figure 1 is a schematic structural view of the cement clinker cooling and conveying structure of the present utility model. If the chain conveyor of the present utility model is not designed, the clinker in the center-mounted step grate cooler 1 enters the large zipper conveyor 6 through the feeding port 9 and is conveyed to the next process, while the leakage in the air chamber of the step grate cooler needs to be collected manually at regular intervals and then manually transferred to the large zipper conveyor 6.
[0040] If the structure of the present utility model is adopted, the clinker on the air chamber of the center-mounted step grate cooler 1 will still enter the large zipper conveyor 6 through the feeding port 9 and be conveyed to the next process, but the leakage in the air chamber of the step grate cooler can enter the chain conveyor 3 through the ash hopper 4 or the aggregate port 5, and then be automatically conveyed into the discharge pipe 8 through the chain conveyor 3, and then enter the large zipper conveyor 6. The chain conveyor 3 is small in volume and high in conveying efficiency, which is convenient for layout.
[0041] A lock air flap valve 11 is designed between the ash hopper 4 and the chain conveyor 3, and there is also a lock air device in the aggregate port 5. The gap between the rings inside the chain conveyor 3 and the pipeline is extremely small, and it also has a good lock air effect. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the air leakage phenomenon caused by the pressure difference between the air chambers. There is a lock air discharge valve 10 between the chain conveyor 3 and the discharge pipe 8. When the chain conveyor 3 is running, the lock air discharge valve 10 is automatically opened, and when the chain conveyor 3 stops running, the lock air discharge valve 10 is automatically closed to avoid the leakage of materials or gases between the internal system of the grate cooler and the atmospheric environment.
[0042] Attached Figures 2-3 is a cross-sectional schematic view of the cement clinker cooling and conveying structure of the present utility model. In the A-A view, the ash hopper 4 is used to collect the leakage inside the air chamber. This design is convenient for collecting the leakage and can reduce the number of chain conveyors, but a certain layout height is required. In the B-B view, the aggregate port 5 is used to collect the leakage. The collection range of this aggregate port is limited, and the number of chain conveyors needs to be appropriately increased, but the layout height can be reduced. The above two aggregate devices can be flexibly selected according to the process requirements.
[0043] Attached Figures 4-7 is various layout diagrams of the cement clinker cooling and conveying structure of the present utility model. Figure 1 And Figure 4 The difference is that in the area where the chain conveyor 3 is arranged on a section of the grate bed, the front grate bed area of the step grate cooler often has no leakage or less leakage due to the existence of high-pressure air flow. Therefore, the chain conveyor can be selectively arranged in this area. Figure 5and Figure 6 There is no ash hopper 4, and the design layout of the aggregate inlet 5 is adopted entirely. Moreover, a chute pipe 7 is added to connect two chain conveyors 3 in series to convey materials.
[0044] Appendix Figures 8-9 is the layout drawing of the cement clinker cooling and conveying structure of the present utility model. For the tail-mounted step grate cooler 2, the height space at its bottom is generally not very abundant. Therefore, the form of the aggregate inlet 5 is often adopted to cooperate with the chain conveyor 3 for layout. The cooperation layout forms between the chain conveyor and the step grate cooler include but are not limited to the above several types.
[0045] In the cement clinker cooling and conveying structure of the present utility model, a new chain conveyor 3 is added in the step grate cooler to automatically convey the leakage material, and there is no need for manual kiln shutdown treatment.
[0046] The chain conveyor 3 of the cement clinker cooling and conveying structure of the present utility model can be provided with an ash hopper, which requires a certain height, and the number of chain conveyors in this working condition is relatively small. The chain conveyor can also be directly arranged in the original air chamber without the need for height, and the number of chain conveyors in this working condition is relatively large. For the working condition of multiple-stage grate beds, they can be arranged in series or in parallel. In short, under various working conditions, the chain conveyor has corresponding design and layout schemes.
[0047] The inter-column seal in the upper air chamber of the step grate cooler leaks more seriously with the aggravation of wear during use, and the seal needs to be replaced in time. However, in the cement clinker cooling and conveying structure of the present utility model, the chain conveyor can convey the leakage material in time, and there is no need to frequently replace the inter-column seal, which can save a large amount of operation and maintenance costs.
[0048] The chain conveyor of the cement clinker cooling and conveying structure of the present utility model can convey the leakage material automatically or manually, without using the pressure of the air chamber to cooperate with the inter-column seal to maintain high pressure to prevent leakage, nor worrying about problems such as leakage due to a large pressure difference between the front and rear air chambers. It enables the cooling fan to return to the essential work of process cooling, can better cool the clinker, and has lower cooling power consumption.
[0049] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
