Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of conveying for cleaning waste heat boilers, in particular to conveying equipment used for cleaning waste heat boilers. Background Art

[0002] Submerged arc furnace, also known as "submerged arc furnace", is mainly used for the production of ecological metal silicon, ferrosilicon alloy, manganese iron alloy, manganese silicon alloy, nickel titanium alloy, calcium carbide and other products. The dust content of the flue gas of the waste heat boiler of this submerged arc furnace is 5-20g / Nm 3 Most of the dust in the flue gas has a diameter of 0.1-0.5um and is composed of spherical particles and pellets of these particles. The characteristics of dust are low density, fine and light, good cementation performance, strong electrostatic adsorption and adsorption capacity between particles, and not easy to settle. The ash contains SiO2, MgO, CaO, Fe2O3 and other nano-particles. These particles show different adhesion in different temperature zones and humidity, and are very easy to adhere to the heat exchange tubes in the boiler, resulting in a sharp decrease in the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange surface of the heat exchange tubes, seriously affecting the recovery and utilization of the flue gas waste heat of this type of submerged arc furnace, as well as the recovery of smoke dust with high economic value.

[0003] At present, the cleaning devices for the heating surface of the waste heat boiler of the submerged arc furnace mainly include mechanical brush cleaning, mechanical vibration cleaning, steam (air) soot blowing and sonic cleaning, but each of the above cleaning methods has certain limitations:

[0004] Mechanical brush cleaning, because its brushes move back and forth between the heat exchange tubes to clean dust, is prone to wear and tear, has a short service life, and requires frequent replacement. This is not only costly but also seriously affects the efficiency of the entire waste heat boiler. Mechanical vibration cleaning has the advantage of uniform distribution of mechanical wave generation and transmission time and space, and is extremely effective for removing large particles and loose dust, making it widely used. However, it is less effective for nano-sized particles, which have good bonding properties, strong electrostatic adsorption and adsorption between particles, and are not easy to settle. Steam (air) soot blowing has the disadvantage of not being able to clean continuously. The dust removal effect varies greatly from different parts of the heating surface, resulting in many blind spots. It also requires a large amount of steam or compressed air, which consumes a lot of energy and is very uneconomical. Sonic wave cleaning has the disadvantage of not being able to clean continuously. The dust removal effect varies greatly from different parts of the heating surface, resulting in many blind spots. Moreover, due to the high negative pressure in the boiler, the soot input brings in a large amount of cold air, which seriously affects the thermal efficiency of the boiler.

[0005] Nowadays, the use of steel ball cleaning can more comprehensively overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned cleaning methods and is gradually gaining recognition from most users in the industry. The so-called steel ball cleaning works by sprinkling steel balls with a diameter of 5-10mm into the vertical flue of the waste heat boiler from the top. The steel balls are used to move irregularly from top to bottom inside the boiler, colliding with the pipes to clean the ash, knocking off the accumulated ash on the surface of the heated pipes in the boiler, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning. However, when transporting the ash from the waste heat boiler, the equipment has shortcomings in terms of continuity, stability, and economy. To solve this problem, we have proposed a conveying equipment for waste heat boiler ash cleaning. Utility Model Content

Inside the boiler, the steel balls move irregularly from top to bottom, hitting the pipes to clean the ash, and then fall into the ash hopper at the bottom of the boiler outlet flue. After the steel balls are separated from the ash powder, they are discharged from the boiler through the chute connected to the bottom ash hopper. The chute is equipped with an air leakage prevention device. The steel balls are collected by the steel ball receiving device 3 and discharged into the empty hopper through the conical discharge valve. The steel ball transport device 4 circulates, lifting the steel balls again to the steel ball receiving hopper 1001 at the top. According to the time set in advance by the electrical control system 5, the electric hammer flap valve 1004 is opened again to enter the boiler for cleaning.
