Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary devices for lime production, in particular to a descaling device for an annular channel of a lime kiln. Background Art
[0002] The Maerz lime kiln, also known as a parallel flow regenerative lime kiln, is an advanced lime production facility featuring two connected kiln chambers, with heat exchange between them via a connecting channel. Its operating principle is as follows: ore is alternately loaded into the two chambers, with fuel introduced from the upper chambers of each chamber. Multiple lances located at the bottom of the preheating zone evenly distribute the fuel across the entire cross-section of the chamber, ensuring uniform calcination of the raw ore. Combustion air is introduced from the top of the shaft kiln and preheated in the preheating zone before mixing with the fuel. The calcining flame then flows through the calcining zone, co-currently with the ore, calcining the ore. Exhaust gases are discharged through the channel connecting the two chambers, along the preheating zone of the other chamber, and toward the kiln roof.
[0003] In the center of a Maerz lime kiln, there's a circular channel formed by several interconnected fire holes and corbel structures. During production, a large amount of ash accumulates in this channel. Under the constant high temperatures, this ash easily forms a hard ash mass. To ensure unimpeded airflow within the kiln, personnel must regularly clean it.
[0004] Prior art tools for cleaning ash deposits from annular channels consist of a hammer and a sharpened steel pipe. To do this, the stone pier covering the fire extraction hole is removed, and the head of the steel pipe is inserted through the hole into the annular channel, bringing it into contact with the ash deposit. The hammer is then used to repeatedly strike the rear end of the pipe to remove the ash deposits. However, in practice, the heavy weight of the steel pipe makes cleaning extremely inconvenient and time-consuming. Cleaning the channel corresponding to a single fire extraction hole alone can take approximately 20 minutes. This prolonged cleaning process results in a significant loss of kiln temperature, negatively impacting product quality. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a descaling device for an annular channel of a lime kiln, so as to solve the problem that the cleaning time is long and the temperature in the kiln body is greatly lost when cleaning the ash in the annular channel of the lime kiln.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the basic solution provided by the utility model is: a descaling device for an annular channel of a lime kiln, comprising an annular pipe, the annular pipe being connected to a pipe 1, the other end of the pipe 1 being connected to an air compressor 1, the annular pipe, the pipe 1 and the air compressor 1 being all located on the upper workbench of the kiln body, the annular pipe being connected to a plurality of branch pipes, each branch pipe passing through the upper workbench of the kiln body, each branch pipe corresponding one-to-one to a plurality of fire extraction holes, each fire extraction hole being located on the lower workbench of the kiln body, each branch pipe being located directly above each fire extraction hole, each branch pipe being connected to a hose, each hose being connected to an air blowing pipe, and the fire extraction holes being covered with stone piers.
[0007] The principle and beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: a ring pipe is provided on the upper workbench of a lime kiln, with each branch pipe corresponding to each fire extraction hole and located directly above each fire extraction hole. One end of the branch pipe is connected to a hose, which in turn is connected to an air blow pipe. When ash accumulation in the annular channel needs to be cleared, the stone block above the fire extraction hole is removed, and the air blow pipe is inserted into the fire extraction hole to clear the ash accumulation in the annular channel. The arrangement of the ring pipe, branch pipe, hose, and air blow pipe facilitates the quick and efficient removal of ash accumulation in the annular channel by removing the stone block covering the fire extraction hole, thereby reducing the time required for clearing ash accumulation and thus reducing temperature loss in the kiln. The provision of the hose allows the operator to freely adjust the position of the blow pipe according to the location of the ash accumulation when clearing ash accumulation in the annular channel. Because the annular channel typically maintains a high temperature of approximately 850-1000 degrees Celsius, an air blow pipe made of high-temperature resistant material is provided and inserted into the fire extraction hole to clear the ash accumulation in the annular channel.
[0008] Option 2, which is the preferred option of the basic option, is to install a ball valve on each branch pipe. The ball valve can be used to adjust the flow rate of the compressed air.
[0009] Option 3, which is the preferred option of the basic option, has a quick connector 1 at the connection between each branch pipe and the hose, and a quick connector 2 at the connection between each hose and the air pipe. The provision of quick connectors 1 and 2 facilitates quick replacement of the hose or air pipe when necessary.
[0010] Option 4, which is the preferred option of the basic option, uses PU tubes for each hose. PU tubes have good temperature resistance and are suitable for the high temperature environment of the fire extraction hole.
[0011] Option 5, the preferred alternative to the basic option, features an air cannon connected to Pipe 1. The air cannon's air inlet is connected to a solenoid valve, one end of which is connected to Air Compressor 2. The air cannon, solenoid valve, and Air Compressor 2 are all located on the upper workbench of the kiln. The air cannon enhances the compressed air's strength to remove stubborn ash buildup within the annular channel when compressed air alone is insufficient.
[0012] Option 6, the preferred option of the basic option, has a reducing nozzle at the output end of each air blowing pipe. The reducing nozzle can increase the flow rate of the compressed air by reducing the diameter of the output end. The setting of the reducing nozzle makes it easier to blow the annular channel with stronger wind force to clear the dust accumulation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
