Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of hydraulic cylinders, in particular to a hydraulic cylinder for a coal mill. Background Art

[0002] Coal mills are common equipment in thermal power plants, used to grind coal into pulverized coal, which can be used for thermal power generation. A common coal mill model is the ZGM medium-speed coal mill. Its grinding force is generated by a hydraulic loading system, which includes components such as a high-pressure oil pump, oil pipelines, a reversing valve, a hydraulic cylinder, and an accumulator. The hydraulic cylinder, as the actuator of the hydraulic loading system, applies the grinding force to the grinding rollers. The grinding rollers apply pressure to the coal layer on the grinding disc, and the rotation of the grinding disc drives the rollers to rotate, continuously producing pulverized coal. Corresponding to the number of grinding rollers, the ZGM medium-speed coal mill also has three hydraulic cylinders.

[0003] The hydraulic cylinder of a coal mill is vertically mounted with its piston rod pointing upward. Due to ash leakage from the mill base and the falling of coal dust, coal dust and ash easily accumulate on the top of the hydraulic cylinder. Although the hydraulic cylinders manufactured by manufacturers include sealing dust rings, these rings are primarily designed to prevent internal hydraulic oil leakage. Since the piston rod extends outward from the upper end of the cylinder body during operation, if coal dust or ash adheres to the outer wall of the piston rod, it enters the guide sleeve with the piston rod's telescopic movement, causing wear on the guide sleeve, shortening the cylinder's service life and leading to hydraulic oil leakage and contamination.

[0004] To address these issues, thermal power plants often modify the hydraulic cylinders of coal mills, installing dust covers on top to prevent coal dust or dust from entering the seals of the hydraulic cylinder guide sleeves, potentially damaging the seals or contaminating the hydraulic fluid. However, conventional dust covers are often integrated annular components. Installation requires disassembly of the piston rod and roller joints, followed by a top-down fit of the dust cover over the piston rod, making this an inconvenient process. The dust cover also wears out during use, and the rubber ring inside ages, requiring regular replacement. Each replacement requires extensive disassembly and assembly of the equipment, resulting in significant downtime. Utility Model Content

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 4 , the coal mill hydraulic cylinder 1 provided in the embodiment of the utility model is described below.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 4The embodiment of the present invention provides a coal mill hydraulic cylinder 1, comprising a cylinder body 10, two dustproof shells 20, a connecting assembly 30 and a sealing element 40. The cylinder body 10 comprises a cylinder body 11 and a piston rod 12 extending vertically upward from the cylinder body 11; the two dustproof shells 20 are arranged oppositely at the top of the cylinder body 11, and the dustproof shells 20 are semi-annular. The two dustproof shells 20 are matched to form a dustproof passage for the piston rod 12 to pass through. The semi-annular inner wall of the dustproof shell 20 is provided with a sealing groove 221, and the two sealing grooves 221 are matched to form an annular first groove body; the connecting assembly 30 is detachably connected between the two dustproof shells 20, and applies a pre-tightening force to the two dustproof shells 20 so as to bring the two dustproof shells 20 closer to each other; the sealing element 40 is annular and is accommodated in the first groove body, and the inner ring of the sealing element 40 is in contact with the piston rod 12.

[0036] The coal mill hydraulic cylinder 1 provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a cylinder body 10, a dustproof shell 20, a connecting assembly 30 and a sealing element 40. The two dustproof shells 20 are matched to form a dustproof passage for the piston rod 12 to pass through. The connecting assembly 30 is used to connect the two dustproof shells 20 into one body, and the sealing element 40 is arranged in the sealing groove 221. During installation, the sealing element 40 can be cut open at a certain position so that the sealing element 40 can be placed on the outer periphery of the piston rod 12. Then, the disconnected position of the sealing element 40 is glued again to form a complete annular sealing ring. The two dustproof shells 20 are then matched and installed on the top of the cylinder body 11, so that the sealing element 40 is accommodated in the first groove. Finally, the two dustproof shells 20 are connected into one body by the connecting assembly 30. The sealing element 40 contacts the piston rod 12, which can prevent impurities such as coal powder and dust from being brought into the cylinder body 11 along with the piston rod 12, thereby playing a dustproof role.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the two dustproof shells 20 adopt a split design, which can be installed without disassembling the cylinder body 10. The operation is simple, the installation and replacement efficiency of the sealing element 40 is improved, the equipment downtime is saved, and the labor intensity of the maintenance personnel is reduced.

[0038] The cylinder body 10 in the embodiment of the present invention is the hydraulic cylinder of the coal mill. Its structure and working principle are no different from those of the hydraulic cylinder in the existing design. The dust cover 20, the connecting assembly 30 and the sealing element 40 are components added to the cylinder body 10 during the modification and have no adverse effect on the operation of the cylinder body 10.

[0039] The dust cover 20 is a split-piece design. When the two dust covers 20 are aligned, they form an annular member surrounding the piston rod 12. The piston rod 12 passes through the dust-proof passage formed by the dust covers 20 and contacts the sealing element 40. This seal prevents impurities such as coal dust from entering the cylinder body 11 along with the piston rod 12. The dust cover 20 can be made of metal (such as cast iron or carbon steel) or non-metallic materials (such as engineering plastics). The dust cover 20 can be connected to the cylinder body 11 using fasteners, magnetic fastening, or snap-on fastening.

[0040] The connecting assembly 30 is used to realize the detachable connection between the two dustproof shells 20. The connecting assembly 30 can be a threaded fastener, a spring clip, a band, etc. When the sealing element 40 needs to be replaced, the connecting assembly 30 is removed to separate the two dustproof shells 20.

[0041] The sealing element 40 is a rubber sealing ring, and its specific specifications and models are not limited. In order to reduce the workload of equipment disassembly and assembly, the sealing element 40 needs to be cut open before installation. After it is placed on the outer periphery of the piston rod 12, it is then bonded into an integrated ring shape using glue, hot melt, etc. It is understandable that cutting the sealing element 40 and then bonding it will not cause significant deformation of the sealing element 40, and will not have a significant impact on the sealing and protective effect, and can meet the use requirements. In order to improve the sealing and protective effect, multiple sealing rings can also be provided.

[0042] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some possible embodiments, the dust cover 20 includes a first connecting portion 21, a second connecting portion 22, and a third connecting portion 23. The first connecting portion 21 is in the shape of a semi-annular plate and is used to connect to the cylinder body 11. The second connecting portion 22 is in the shape of a semi-annular plate and is located above the first connecting portion 21. The second connecting portions 22 of the two dust covers 20 are aligned to form a dustproof passage. A sealing groove 221 is defined on one side of the second connecting portion 22 adjacent to the piston rod 12. Two third connecting portions 23 are located on opposite sides of the second connecting portion 22, and the connecting assembly 30 is connected to the second connecting portion 22. The first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 can be connected integrally by welding or other methods.

[0043] The more coal powder accumulates on the top of the second connecting portion 22, the easier it is for the piston rod 12 to carry the coal powder into the cylinder body 11. In order to avoid the second connecting portion 22 being too large, resulting in excessive accumulation of coal powder on the top and reducing the sealing and dustproof effect, in some possible embodiments, the thickness of the second connecting portion 22 should not be too thick. For example, the outer diameter of the second connecting portion 22 is no more than 10 mm larger than the diameter of the piston rod 12. The second connecting portion 22 can be formed as follows: Figure 2 The boss structure shown.

[0044] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some possible embodiments, the first connecting portion 21 is provided with a first mounting hole that penetrates its own thickness, a first screw 24 is passed through the first mounting hole, and a second mounting hole that is threadedly matched with the first screw 24 is provided on the top surface of the cylinder body 11. The dustproof shell 20 is fixed with the first screw 24, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0045] See also Figure 2 and 4 In some possible embodiments, the third connecting portion 23 is provided with a third mounting hole that penetrates its own thickness. The connecting assembly 30 includes a second screw that is passed through the third mounting hole, and a nut that is threadably matched with the second screw. The nut and the nut cap of the second screw are respectively abutted against the sides of the third connecting portions 23 of the two dustproof shells 20 that are away from each other, which facilitates installation and disassembly and provides convenience for maintenance personnel.

[0046] See also Figure 2 and 4 In some possible embodiments, a semi-annular receiving groove 222 is formed on the inner wall of the top of the dustproof housing 20. Two receiving grooves 222 are aligned to form an annular second groove body, and a dustproof felt 50 is disposed within the second groove body. In this embodiment, a second groove body is formed on the top of the dustproof housing 20, and a dustproof felt 50 is disposed within the second groove body. The dustproof felt 50 and the sealing element 40 work together to form multiple layers of protection, thereby improving the sealing and dustproofing effect of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0047] See also Figure 2 and 4 In some possible embodiments, the coal mill hydraulic cylinder 1 further includes two pressure plates 60, which are respectively arranged around the piston rod 12. The pressure plates 60 are covered on top of the dustproof felt 50. The pressure plates 60 are detachably connected to the dustproof shell 20. The pressure plates 60 are covered on top of the dustproof felt 50, which can not only prevent the dustproof felt 50 from detaching from the second trough body, but also exert a certain pressure on the dustproof felt 50, so that the dustproof felt 50 fits tightly against the outer periphery of the piston rod 12, thereby improving the dustproof effect.

[0048] In some possible embodiments, the dustproof shell 20 is provided with multiple sealing grooves 221 along the axial direction of the piston rod 12, and multiple sealing elements 40 are provided corresponding to the sealing grooves 221. The multiple sealing elements 40 work together to further improve the sealing and dustproof effect.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, the sealing element 40 is a K-type or Y-type sealing ring. Both the K-type sealing ring and the Y-type sealing ring are made of rubber or silicone, and are suitable for static and low-speed sealing applications, and can meet usage requirements.

[0050] In some possible embodiments, the coal mill hydraulic cylinder 1 further includes a blower mechanism, which is disposed on one side of the dust cover 20 and has an air outlet facing the dust cover 20. The blower mechanism can be a blower, fan, etc., and is capable of blowing away coal dust that has fallen onto the top of the cylinder body 11. The blower mechanism can be used at regular intervals to prevent excessive coal dust from accumulating above the cylinder body 11 and the dust cover 20, which could prevent excessive coal dust impurities from adhering to the piston rod 12 and affecting the sealing and dustproofing effect.

[0051] It can be understood that the various parts in the above embodiments can be freely combined or deleted to form different combination embodiments. The specific contents of each combination embodiment will not be repeated here. After this description, it can be considered that the specification of the utility model has recorded various combination embodiments and can support different combination embodiments.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
