Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of boiler ash removal, and particularly relates to a steam-driven vibration device for a waste heat boiler. Background Art

[0002] Industrial waste heat exhaust gas contains a certain amount of dust to varying degrees. In order to utilize the waste heat resources of industrial waste gas, industrial waste heat boilers are often used as waste heat resource recovery devices to generate steam for industrial steam use or waste heat power generation. At present, mechanical vibration devices are generally used as the main ash cleaning devices for boilers, and other ash cleaning devices such as acoustic wave ash cleaning or shock wave ash cleaning devices are used as auxiliary supporting devices. The mechanical vibration device drives the vibration connecting rod to make a circular motion through the rotation of the vibration motor. The vibration connecting rod drives the vibration rod to rotate. The vibration rod is equipped with a vibration hammer. The inertia force of the vibration hammer is used to strike the impact rod, so as to produce a shaking effect on the boiler heating surface. The dust on the heating surface tube bundle falls off the heating surface tube bundle under the scouring of the flue gas and the shaking of the heating surface, achieving the purpose of ash cleaning. Due to the fact that the vibration devices in the related technologies are prone to mechanical failures such as damage to the vibration structure, for example, the vibration rod breaks, the vibration hammer falls off, and the position where the vibration hammer strikes the impact rod deviates from the set point, causing deformation of the impact rod, resulting in problems such as a decrease in heat exchange efficiency and high operation and maintenance costs of the waste heat boiler. Ash accumulation will form a thermal resistance, making the heat conduction effect worse, thereby affecting the thermal efficiency of the boiler; and due to component damage, mechanical vibration parts need to be frequently replaced, resulting in a large consumption of spare parts. In addition, a certain amount of electricity needs to be consumed. Summary of the Invention

A sealing device 14 is arranged between the first guiding block 8 and the second guiding block 9, and the sealing device 14 is a labyrinth sealing structure. The rapping structure is driven by steam, can generate strong vibration and impact force, effectively remove the ash deposited on the boiler heating surface, and ensure the thermal efficiency of the boiler. The impact rod 12 and the rapping disc 2 in the rapping structure are slidably connected through the guiding structure and cooperate with the balls, which can realize stable reciprocating motion, reduce mechanical wear and failure rate, and improve the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0034] The elastic device includes an annular fixing plate 7 and an elastic element. The annular fixing plate 7 is arranged on the inner wall of the rapping cylinder body 10. One end of the elastic element abuts against the annular fixing plate 7, and the other end of the elastic element abuts against the rear side end face of the rapping disc 2.

[0035] The steam pressure stabilizing structure includes a pressure stabilizing tank 30, an exhaust silencer 33 and a safety valve 34. The pressure stabilizing tank 30 is connected to the steam pipeline 35 from the waste heat boiler through a second steam inlet pipe. The pressure stabilizing tank 30 is connected to the first steam inlet pipe 1 through a second exhaust pipe. The exhaust silencer 33 is connected to the pressure stabilizing tank 30 through the safety valve 34. The steam pressure stabilizing structure can effectively control and stabilize the steam pressure, ensure that the rapping device works under a constant pressure, avoid the influence of pressure fluctuation on the equipment, and improve the stability and operation efficiency of the system.

[0037] Working mode of this example

[0038] Part of the steam generated by the waste heat boiler itself enters the steam pressure stabilizing structure through the steam supply pipeline 35 of the waste heat boiler. The on-off of the steam is controlled by the first solenoid valve 31. The steam is connected to the pressure stabilizing tank 30. When the second solenoid valve 11 is opened, the steam is connected to the vibrating cylinder body 10, applying an impact force to the vibrating disc 2, driving the impact rod 12 to move forward rapidly, and at the same time compressing the elastic element. When the vibrating disc 2 moves rapidly forward to the nozzle position of the first discharge pipe, the steam starts to rapidly relieve pressure. When the impact rod moves forward rapidly and impacts the boiler heating surface tube bundle, causing it to vibrate, the second solenoid valve 11 is closed, and the steam impact force rapidly decreases. The vibrating disc 2 rapidly slows down its forward movement speed under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element until it stops moving forward. Then, when the elastic element recovers its elastic deformation, it pushes the vibrating disc 2 back to the starting position. By controlling the opening and closing frequency of the second solenoid valve, the frequency of cleaning the boiler heating surface tube bundle is achieved, and the purpose of effective cleaning is achieved. In addition, according to the ash accumulation situation of the heating surface tube bundle, or the dust concentration of the flue gas, the layout situation of the boiler heating surface tube bundle, etc., by adjusting the pressure of the pressure stabilizing tank, the vibration intensity can be adjusted to achieve efficient and stable cleaning of the waste heat boiler under different working conditions, and the purpose of improving the boiler thermal efficiency can be achieved.

[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
