[0016] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 4 The economizer anti-blocking device shown includes: a smoke box 1 and a heat exchanger 2. The heat exchanger 2 is arranged in the smoke box 1. The heat exchanger 2 consists of finned tubes 21 and bent tubes 22. The finned tubes 21 are provided with evenly spaced fins 25. Multiple finned tubes 21 are arranged in an array. The bent tubes 22 are connected to the ends of the finned tubes 21. Multiple finned tubes 21 are connected end to end through the bent tubes 22 to form a water channel. The finned tubes 21 at the head and tail ends are respectively provided with an inlet pipe 23 and an outlet pipe 24. The inlet pipe 23 is located at the lower part of the heat exchanger 2. Cold water enters from the inlet pipe 23, flows upstream from the bottom and out of the outlet pipe 24, and is converted into hot water through heat exchange with high-temperature flue gas.
[0018] The smoke box 1 is provided with a smoke inlet 3 and an upwind duct 7 on the upper side, and an ash discharge pipe 5 and a smoke outlet 4 on the lower side. The smoke inlet 3 and the ash discharge pipe 5 are directly opposite to each other up and down, and the upwind duct 7 and the smoke outlet 4 are directly opposite to each other up and down. The high-temperature flue gas enters the smoke box 1 from the smoke inlet 3, and then passes through the heat exchanger 2 and is discharged from the smoke outlet 4 on the lower side of the smoke box 1. A first high-pressure air duct 9 is provided on the upwind duct 7, and a second high-pressure air duct 8 is provided on the smoke inlet 3. The first high-pressure air duct 9 and the second high-pressure air duct 8 are connected to the air supply device through an air supply pipe 10. The first high-pressure air duct 9 and the second high-pressure air duct 8 introduce a vertically downward high-speed air flow into the smoke box 1. The first high-pressure air duct 9 and the second high-pressure air duct 8 can send a high-speed air flow into the smoke box 1 to impact the fin tube 21 and the fins to avoid long-term retention of floating dust. The first high-pressure air duct 9 and the second high-pressure air duct 8 are opened intermittently for a short time to maintain the highest wind speed without affecting the normal circulation of smoke.
[0019] In a possible real-time manner, a cleaning and maintenance door 11 that can be opened and closed is provided on one side of the smoke box 1 .
