Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of boilers, in particular to a fluidized bed boiler furnace thermocouple installation structure. Background Art
[0002] Fluidized bed boilers utilize a fluidized bed combustion method and can be categorized as bubbling fluidized bed boilers and circulating fluidized bed boilers based on their fluid dynamic characteristics. During operation, fluidized bed boilers require thermocouples to monitor the combustion temperature within the furnace to ensure proper operation. Existing boiler furnace thermocouple mounting structures typically involve installing a mounting tube on the wall of the fluidized bed furnace, into which the thermocouple is directly inserted and fixed. This mounting method causes the sulfide and dust produced by the combustion of pulverized coal within the furnace to mix and easily form scale within the mounting tube. Once excessive scale forms, the thermocouple adheres directly to the mounting tube, making it impossible to remove during maintenance. Because the thermocouple is subject to erosion by the pulverized coal, it requires regular maintenance or replacement. If the thermocouple adheres, it becomes difficult to remove, necessitating shutdown and maintenance, disrupting normal production. Even if it is removed, the fire within the furnace can escape through the mounting tube, posing a potential risk to the safe operation of the boiler.
[0003] Based on this, the present application provides a fluidized bed boiler furnace thermocouple installation structure that is easy to inspect and repair thermocouples and will not cause flames to burst out during inspection to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

When the sleeve is pulled out to the set length, the cover can be closed. At this time, the thermocouple can be disassembled and assembled normally without the problem of flames. At the same time, this structure does not require the sleeve to be completely removed.
[0018] 3.

[0030] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a fluidized bed boiler furnace thermocouple installation structure, including a furnace wall 1, a mounting pipe 2, a thermocouple 3, a sleeve 4 and a fastener 5, wherein:
[0031] The mounting tube 2 is arranged on the furnace wall 1, and one end thereof located inside the furnace is set as an inclined surface. A cover plate 6 for covering the pipe opening of the mounting tube 2 is rotatably installed on the top of the inclined surface; under normal conditions, the cover plate automatically closes the mounting tube under the action of its own weight.
[0032] The outer diameter of the sleeve 4 matches the inner diameter of the mounting tube 2, specifically a small clearance fit, which can effectively prevent the sleeve and the mounting tube from adhering to each other due to scaling; the sleeve 4 is movably arranged in the mounting tube 2, its length is greater than the length of the mounting tube 2, and its outer end is provided with a first flange 4.1 connected to the thermocouple 3 and a second flange 4.2 connected to the mounting tube 2, and the second flange 4.2 is connected to the flange plate of the mounting tube 2 by multiple fasteners 5; the end of the sleeve 4 away from the first flange 4.1 is also provided with a push rod 4.3 for pushing open the cover plate; the inner cavity of the end of the sleeve 4 away from the first flange 4.1 is set as a necked cavity 4.4, the inner diameter of the necked cavity 4.4 matches the outer diameter of the temperature measuring rod of the thermocouple 3, specifically a small clearance fit, which can also effectively prevent the sleeve and the temperature measuring rod from adhering to each other due to scaling. A tapered guide cavity 4.5 is provided between the inner cavity of the sleeve 4 and the neck cavity 4.4. The guide cavity can play a role in positioning and guiding the thermocouple after it is inserted into the sleeve.
[0033] The thermocouple 3 is fixedly installed in the sleeve 4 , and its temperature measuring end extends out of the sleeve 4 .
[0034] During assembly, first insert the thermocouple into the sleeve and fix it on the first flange, then insert the sleeve into the mounting tube. As the sleeve is inserted, the cover plate on the mounting tube is pushed open, and finally the second flange of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the flange plate on the mounting tube through fasteners.
[0035] When the thermocouple needs to be removed, loosen the fasteners and pull out the sleeve. At this time, the cover covers the installation tube and the thermocouple can be removed.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] Repeating Example 1, this embodiment further designs the fastener, as shown in the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the fastener 5 includes a half-thread bolt 5.1 and a fastening nut 5.2. The fastening nut 5.2 is screwed into the rod by the threaded portion of the half-thread bolt 5.1. The threaded portion of the half-thread bolt 5.1 passes through the through hole of the second flange 4.2 and is screwed to the screw hole on the flange plate of the mounting pipe 2. The second flange 4.2 and the flange plate of the mounting pipe 2 are fastened by the fastening nut 5.2.
[0038] Preferably, a spring 7 is further sleeved on the sleeve 4, one end of the spring 7 abuts against the second flange, and the other end abuts against the flange plate of the mounting pipe.
[0039] Preferably, the length of the half-thread bolt 5.1 is sufficient to allow the sleeve 4 and the thermocouple 3 to be withdrawn into the mounting tube 2 without affecting the closing of the cover plate 6.
[0040] The fastener designed in this embodiment can use the head of the half-thread bolt to limit the sleeve, and the spring provides elastic force. When the thermal couple needs to be disassembled, the fastening nut is withdrawn from the threaded part of the half-thread bolt. At this time, the sleeve is partially withdrawn from the installation tube under the elastic force of the spring, as shown in the attached Figure 2 As shown, the cover can now be closed and the thermocouple can be removed from the sheath. This fastener does not require the sheath to be completely removed.
