Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a sealing structure, in particular to a sealing structure of a long-rod telescopic steam soot blower. Background Art

[0002] Currently, over 90% of coal-fired boilers worldwide utilize steam sootblower systems, particularly long-rod sootblower systems for convection heating surfaces within the boiler. One of the primary operational issues facing steam sootblower systems is leakage in the sealing area. This is primarily due to their operating characteristics and design flaws in the seals: the sootblower lance moves in a uniform, spiral axial trajectory, while the steam supply pipe supplies steam to the lance in a stationary manner. Because the working medium is superheated steam, with high temperatures and pressures, the sealing materials between the steam supply pipe and the lance are constantly under complex working conditions. The original design employed a simple ring seal with a packing assembly and packing. During operation, eccentricity, radial runout, and axial displacement of the steam supply pipe or lance pipe can cause significant impact and wear on the fixed seal. Long-term operation can lead to increased seal gaps, seal failure, and leakage of high-temperature, high-pressure steam from the seal. This can cause deformation and barrel extension and jamming due to the large temperature differential between the inside and outside of the seal, posing a significant safety hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the sootblower seal structure.

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings in the technical background, the utility model discloses a long-rod telescopic steam soot blower sealing structure, which sets the seal between the inner tube and the outer tube as a swinging sealing ring sealing structure, a large gap is left between the concave seal and the perforated annular seal and the inner tube, and a swinging sealing ring is set between the concave seal and the perforated annular seal, which not only achieves effective sealing, but also solves the problem of jamming when the outer tube is telescoped.

The sealing member fixing threaded hole 11 is provided on the end face of the annular seal 7 with the central axis as the reference, and an annular seal fixing threaded hole 12 with the central axis is provided every 90 degrees along the circumference. The concave sealing member fixing threaded hole 11 and the annular seal fixing threaded hole 12 with the central axis are matched with a tightening screw 6 to fix the concave sealing member 4 and the annular seal 7 with the central axis. The swing sealing ring (5) is located between the concave sealing member (4) and the annular seal with the central axis (7); the self-tightening cover 9 is composed of a movable end cover 901, a spring 902, a clamping flange 903 and a bolt 904. The end face of the movable end cover 901 is provided with a screw hole 12 every 45 degrees along the circumference with the central axis as the reference. °A movable end cover light hole 13 is opened; the movable end cover light hole 13 is a light hole, so that the movable end cover 901 can move in the axial direction, and the end face of the clamping flange 903 is based on the central axis and a clamping flange screw hole 15 is opened every 45° along the circumference, and the clamping flange screw hole 15 is a threaded hole; the end face of the outer tube facing the movable end cover 901 is based on the central axis and an outer tube screw hole 14 is opened every 45° along the circumference; there is a clearance fit between the liner ring 2 and the inner tube 3, and there is a clearance fit between the liner ring 2 and the outer tube 1; the clearance between the concave seal 4, the perforated annular seal 7 and the inner tube 3 is greater than 2mm, and the concave seal 4, the perforated annular seal There is a clearance fit between the seal 7 and the sealing groove of the outer tube 1; the swinging sealing ring 5 can move back and forth in the axial direction, and there is a clearance fit between the swinging sealing ring 5 and the inner tube 2; the central axes of the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 1 coincide with each other; the central axes of the liner ring 2, the concave seal 4, the swinging sealing ring 5, the perforated annular seal 7, the sealing packing group 8, the movable end cover 901 and the clamping flange 904 coincide with the central axes of the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 1; the outer diameters of the liner ring 2, the concave seal 4, the perforated annular seal 7 and the sealing packing group 8 are equal to the inner diameter of the sealing groove of the outer tube 1, and the inner diameters of the liner ring 2, the swinging sealing ring 5 and the sealing packing group 8 are equal to the outer diameter of the inner tube 3.

[0024] When implementing the improved long-rod telescopic steam soot blower sealing structure described in the present invention, the outer tube 1 is placed on the outer side of the inner tube 3 during installation. The sealing portion between the two tubes is formed by inserting one end of the inner tube 3 into the outer tube 1 as the starting point. To the other end of the inner tube 3, a liner ring 2, a concave seal 4, a swing seal ring 5, a perforated annular seal 7, a sealing packing group 8, a movable end cover 901 and a clamping flange 903 are sequentially arranged.

Since the screw holes on the movable end cover 901 are light holes, the movable end cover 901 can move axially. When the steam pressure and the outer tube 1 extend and move the movable end cover 901, the spring 902 sleeved on the bolts 904 is compressed to push the movable end cover 901 forward, achieving the purpose of self-tightening; the concave seal 4, the perforated annular seal 7 and the outer tube 1 The sealing grooves are tightly fitted together; the swing sealing ring 5 and the inner tube 3 are tightly fitted together; the swing sealing ring 5 and the concave sealing member 4 are pressed tightly, and the above three ensure that steam will not leak; the difference between the outer diameter of the swing sealing ring 5 and the inner diameter of the concave sealing member 4 is greater than 4mm, the swing sealing ring 5 can move 360 ​​degrees in the radial direction together with the inner tube 3, and at the same time, the swing sealing ring 5 can move axially together with the inner tube 3, ensuring that the inner tube 3 swings within a certain range and that the gun barrel will not get stuck.

[0026] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a long-rod telescopic steam sootblower sealing structure with low cost, long service life, and low steam leakage. By modifying the sealing structure, the fixed seal is replaced with a movable swinging sealing ring. When the sootblower spray gun tube performs a spiral retraction motion, the back-and-forth movement of the swinging sealing ring can effectively reduce the leakage caused by the friction between the sealing device and the inner and outer pipes. At the same time, the back-and-forth movement characteristic of the swinging sealing ring effectively solves the problem of squeezing of the fixed seal in the long-rod spray gun tube. The gun tube will not experience problems such as telescopic jamming and steam leakage from the sealing ring. The improved long-rod telescopic steam sootblower sealing structure of the present utility model has low cost, long service life, and low steam leakage. It is easy to modify and apply in actual power plants, effectively solves the problems existing in fixed sealing structures, and has broad application prospects.
