Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a mechanical arch-breaking device for a vertical fly ash steel storage tank. Background Art

[0002] Sometimes, fly ash in a vertical storage tank may become blocked due to certain reasons, resulting in problems such as wall sticking, arching and bridging, and rat holes. Once these problems occur, the fly ash pulping system cannot operate normally, causing certain economic losses and safety hazards to the coal mine grouting for fire prevention and extinguishment.

[0003] To prevent the occurrence of blockage problems in vertical fly ash storage tanks, conventional treatment methods include knocking type, jet type, and vibration type. The knocking type arch-breaking equipment usually has two types: magnet type pneumatic hammer and valve body type pneumatic hammer. The magnet type pneumatic hammer forms knocking through the force of magnet separation. Since the force of the magnet is fixed and unchangeable, the knocking force cannot be adjusted during use; the valve body type pneumatic hammer forms knocking by the energy storage and release of the cylinder body, and the knocking force can be adjusted according to the air pressure during use. The jet type arch-breaking equipment must open holes in the vertical storage tank, and the fly ash is directly in contact with the air, which is prone to cause fly ash caking due to the moisture in the air. The vibration type arch-breaking equipment drives the vibration of the material through a high-frequency vibration, thereby increasing the voids between particles and reducing the mutual force to achieve the effect of increasing the fluidity of the material. However, it has a large wear during use and needs to be lubricated with oil regularly.

[0004] A Chinese utility model patent with the authorization announcement date of July 23, 2024, and the announcement number of CN 221395160 U discloses an anti-blocking silo, which includes a silo body, a stirrer, an air cannon, and a vibration motor. The stirrer is arranged inside the silo body and is used for stirring powder materials. The air cannon is arranged at the bottom of the silo body and is used for dispersing the powder materials. The vibration motor is arranged at the top of the silo body and is used for driving the silo body to vibrate. The beneficial effect of the utility model is that it effectively avoids the blockage of the silo, ensures normal feeding, has a simple structure, and is convenient to operate. The stirrer includes a rotating shaft and stirring blades. The rotating shaft is arranged perpendicular to the height of the silo body (the rotating shaft is horizontally arranged), and the stirring blades are arranged along the rotating shaft.

[0005] If a silo with such a structure is used as a pulverized coal silo, the rotating shaft of the stirrer lying across the silo itself also constitutes an obstacle to the pulverized coal feeding. The prior art urgently needs a mechanical arch-breaking device for a vertical fly ash steel storage tank. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is how to overcome the above defects of the prior art and provide a mechanical arch-breaking device for a vertical fly ash steel storage tank.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, the mechanical arch-breaking device for the vertical fly ash steel storage tank of the present invention includes a vertical silo and a stirrer. The vertical silo includes a cylindrical part and a conical part, which are connected up and down. The lower end of the conical part is provided with a discharge port. The stirrer includes a reduction motor and a stirring shaft. The stirring shaft is arranged in the vertical silo and is driven by the reduction motor. A plurality of stirring rods are arranged on the stirring shaft. It is characterized in that: a lower bearing seat is arranged on the inner wall of the conical part above the discharge port, and a seal box is arranged on one side at the junction of the cylindrical part and the conical part. The lower part of the seal box obliquely extends into the vertical silo, and the upper part thereof is exposed outside the vertical silo. Through holes opposite to each other are respectively opened on the bottom plate and the top plate of the seal box, and shaft seal sleeves are respectively arranged on each through hole. The reduction motor is fixed on the top plate of the seal box. The output shaft of the reduction motor passes through the through hole and the shaft seal sleeve on the top plate of the seal box and extends into the seal box; a bearing is sleeved on the lower end of the stirring shaft, and the bearing is fixed on the lower bearing seat. The other end of the stirring shaft passes through the through hole and the shaft seal sleeve on the bottom plate of the seal box and extends into the seal box, and is connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor through a coupling. With such a design, as Figure 1 shown, the stirring shaft is obliquely arranged in the conical part, and the obstruction of the stirring shaft itself to the falling of the powder is minimized. When the material in the vertical silo is sufficient but the material at the discharge port is not flowing smoothly, most likely, an arch structure or a rat hole structure has appeared in the material inside the vertical silo. At this time, start the reduction motor to drive the stirring shaft to rotate. The stirring rods on the stirring shaft will loosen the surrounding powder, and the arch structure formed by the surrounding material can be quickly broken.

[0008] As an optimization, both ends of the stirring shaft are closed and hollow. Air inlet holes are also arranged on the side wall of the stirring shaft in the seal box. Each stirring rod is composed of a hollow spray pipe and is communicated with the inside of the stirring shaft. A spray pipe is also arranged on the exposed side wall of the seal box. A valve is arranged on the spray pipe and is communicated with a matched high-pressure air supply pipe. When the humidity of the pulverized coal is high, there may also be a problem that the stirrer rotates continuously, the material in the vertical silo is sufficient, but the material at the discharge port is not flowing smoothly. At this time, most likely, a hole (commonly known as a rat hole) structure has appeared around the stirring shaft. At this time, only open the valve on the spray pipe, and the high-pressure air enters the seal box through the spray pipe, enters the inside of the stirring shaft from the air inlet hole, and finally sprays out from each hollow spray pipe. With such a design, the sprayed high-pressure air can loosen a larger range of powder and destroy the rat hole structure, and timely dredge the material discharge of the vertical silo. To avoid blowing out dust by the high-pressure air, the valve on the spray pipe should not be opened for a long time. It can be opened only for 8 - 10 seconds for purging when necessary, and of course, it can also be opened and closed at intervals.

[0009] As an optimization, a one-way jet nozzle is respectively arranged at the outer end of each hollow spray pipe. With such a design, it can prevent the material from blocking the hollow spray pipe and affecting the arch-breaking and hole-breaking effects.

[0010] The mechanical arch-breaking device of this vertical fly ash steel storage tank has a simple structure, reliable operation, and is not prone to material blockage. Even if blockage occurs, it can be quickly eliminated, making it suitable for enterprises such as thermal power plants, coal preparation plants, and cement plants that require the use of large silos.
