[0028] The technical solution of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] As Figures 2 - 4 shown, Embodiment 1 of the present utility model provides a laterite nickel ore dust removal system, which includes an induced draft fan 5, a dust collector, a conveyor pipe 6, a spraying assembly 8 and an ash discharge valve 7. One end of the conveyor pipe 6 is communicated with the air outlet of the dust collector, and the other end is communicated with the air inlet of the induced draft fan 5. The air inlet of the dust collector is communicated with the air outlet of the drum dryer 1 near its discharge outlet 102;

[0031] The conveyor pipe 6 includes a horizontally arranged pipe one 601 and a vertically arranged pipe two 602. The pipe one 601 is lower than the pipe two 602. The bottom end of the pipe one 601 is communicated with one end of the pipe two 602. A bending part 603 is formed at the connection of the pipe one 601 and the pipe two 602; A dust discharge port is opened at one end of the pipe one 601 near the bending part 603, and the ash discharge valve 7 is hermetically connected to the dust discharge port;

[0032] The spraying assembly 8 includes at least one spray head and a water supply mechanism. The spray head is arranged inside the bending part 603 for flushing the inner wall of the bending part 603, and the water supply mechanism is communicated with the spray head for pumping water into the spray head.

[0033] In this embodiment, when cleaning the bent portion 603, the ash discharge valve 7 is opened, and the spray assembly 8 is opened. The water supply mechanism pumps water into the spray head, and the spray head sprays water flow onto the inner wall of the bent portion 603 to wash the inside of the bent portion 603, washing away the accumulated ash and dirt on the inner wall of the bent portion 603. At the same time, the large particulate dust in the smoke is adsorbed and settled by the water droplets, and the mixture of water and ash is discharged through the ash discharge valve 7. In this way, there is no need for manual cleaning of the accumulated ash and dirt with tools, which reduces the labor burden of workers, and there is no need to stop the machine for cleaning, greatly reducing the number of stops and releasing the production capacity. Moreover, since the cleaning effect of using the flushing method to clean the accumulated ash and dirt is good, the maintenance frequency can be reduced and the maintenance cycle can be extended.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, in order to maximize the cleaning effect, as Figure 4 shown, there are two spray heads, namely the first spray head and the second spray head in sequence. The first spray head is higher than the second spray head. The first spray head is coaxially arranged with the second pipe 602 and is close to the top end of the bent portion 603. The second spray head is centrally located inside the bent portion 603 and close to its lowest point. The second spray head is inclined, and the water outlet of the second spray head is directly facing the inner wall of the bent portion 603. The water supply mechanism supplies water to both the first spray head and the second spray head at the same time. The water flow sprayed by the first spray head is aligned with the inner wall of the top of the bent portion 603, and the second spray head is directly facing the middle of the bent portion 603 for flushing. In this way, by using the first spray head and the second spray head to simultaneously flush different positions of the bent portion 603, the accumulated ash and dirt inside the bent portion 603 can be effectively cleaned, improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0035] As a specific embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the first spray head includes a circular first ring pipe 801 and a plurality of first nozzles 807. The first ring pipe 801 is evenly provided with a plurality of water outlets around its axis, and each water outlet is hermetically installed with a first nozzle 807. The axis of the first ring pipe 801 is collinear with the axis of the second pipe 602, and the first ring pipe 801 is close to the top position of the bent portion 603. It should be noted that the first nozzle 807 is inclined, and it is necessary to ensure that the first nozzle 807 points to the inner wall of the bent portion 603, that is, the water flow sprayed by the first nozzle 807 is obliquely downward. The water flow sprayed by the first nozzle 807 washes away the dirt and accumulated ash on the inner wall near the top of the bent portion 603 for the first time, and then the water flow flows along the inner wall of the bent portion 603 to further clean the area below the bent portion 603.

[0036] Further, the second spray head includes a second annular pipe 802 in a circular ring shape and a plurality of second spray nozzles 808 connected to the second annular pipe 802. The plurality of second spray nozzles 808 are evenly distributed around the axis of the second annular pipe 802. The second annular pipe 802 is centrally provided with a bending portion 603. It should be noted that a plurality of water outlet ports are provided on the outer side surface of the second annular pipe 802, and the second spray nozzles 808 are installed in the water outlet ports on the outer side surface of the second annular pipe 802, so that the second spray nozzles 808 are arranged along the radial direction of the second annular pipe 802. It should be noted that generally, there is more dust accumulation at the lowest point of the bending portion 603. By arranging the second spray nozzles 808 near its lowest point, the second spray nozzles 808 can flush the lowest point of the bending portion 603, cleaning the dust and dirt inside the bending portion 603 to the greatest extent and ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, the combined use of the first spray head and the second spray head has a good cleaning effect on removing dust and dirt, so the maintenance frequency can be reduced and the maintenance cycle can be extended.

[0038] It should be noted that the water supply mechanism includes a water pump 806, a main water outlet pipe 803, a water outlet branch pipe 804 and a water inlet pipe 809. Among them, one end of the main water outlet pipe 803 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 806, and the other end is connected to the first annular pipe 801. One end of the water inlet pipe 809 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 806, and the other end is connected to the water supply pipeline. A water outlet port is provided on the outer wall of the main water outlet pipe 803. One end of the water outlet branch pipe 804 is connected to the water outlet port on the outer wall of the main water outlet pipe 803, and the other end is connected to the second annular pipe 802. A valve body 805 is provided on the main water outlet pipe 803, and the valve body 805 is an electric valve.

[0039] As Figure 4 shown, the valve body 805 is lower than the water outlet branch pipe 804. In this way, when the valve body 805 is closed, both the first spray head and the second spray head stop supplying water.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, in the past, the conveying pipe 6 needed to be cleaned of ash regularly, but there was a phenomenon that workers forgot to clean the ash, resulting in excessive ash accumulation in the conveying pipe 6. To avoid such problems, a controller is provided in this embodiment. The controller is signal-connected to the water pump 806, the ash discharge valve 7 and the valve body 805. A dust cleaning program is entered into the controller. Every once in a while, the controller automatically opens the water pump 806, the ash discharge valve 7 and the valve body 805 to automatically carry out the dust cleaning work.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the dust collector is a cyclone dust collector 4. A water mist dust collector 9 is arranged on the side of the induced draft fan 5 away from the cyclone dust collector 4. The ash inlet of the water mist dust collector 9 and the air outlet of the induced draft fan 5 are connected through a pipeline. The water mist dust collector 9 is used to further remove dust from the soot, further improving the dust removal effect.

[0042] Preferably, as Figure 2 shown, the dust removal system further includes a bag filter 2. The ash inlet of the bag filter 2 is connected to an ash inlet pipe 201. One end of the ash inlet pipe 201 away from the bag filter 2 is connected to an ash collection hood, and the ash collection hood is located directly above the feed inlet 101 of the drum dryer 1. The bag filter 2 is used to handle the dust generated during feeding.

[0043] Embodiment 2:

[0044] As Figure 2 shown, Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a laterite nickel ore drying system. The drying system includes a drum dryer 1, a hot blast stove 3, and the laterite nickel ore dust removal system in Embodiment 1 above. The left top of the drum dryer 1 is provided with a feed inlet 101, and the bottom of its tail end is provided with a discharge outlet 102. A hot blast stove 3 is arranged on the left side of the drum dryer 1, and the hot blast stove 3 is communicated with the drum dryer 1 for blowing hot air into the drum dryer 1.

[0045] It should be noted that the size of the discharge outlet 102 of this drum dryer 1 is 80 cm * 55 cm, and the size of the discharge outlet 102 of the previous drum dryer 1 was 160 cm * 55 cm. In this embodiment, the size of the discharge outlet 102 of the drum dryer 1 is reduced, reducing the amount of cold air entering, enabling the flue gas temperature at the drum outlet to be stably maintained above 80 °C, improving the drying capacity of the laterite nickel ore, and stabilizing the output.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper" and "lower" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0047] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "communication", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct communication or an indirect communication through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations. In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more.

[0048] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
