Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat boilers, specifically to an automatic ash removal device for waste heat boilers. Background Technology
[0002] With rapid economic development, the amount of hazardous waste generated during production has increased dramatically. The proper disposal of hazardous waste has become a major environmental issue restricting production. Incineration has become the fastest, most effective, and most economical technical means for reducing, rendering harmless, and recycling hazardous waste. To reduce the temperature of the flue gas produced after hazardous waste incineration while fully utilizing the large amount of energy generated, waste heat boilers are generally used to recover heat and produce steam as a byproduct. However, the incineration of hazardous waste produces a large amount of SiO2 dust (which generates static electricity, has extremely strong adsorption capacity, and excellent thermal insulation properties). This dust adheres to the heat exchange tubes of the waste heat boiler, causing a significant decrease in the heat exchange efficiency, an increase in the boiler outlet temperature, and a reduction in steam production capacity. To avoid this situation, the heat exchange tubes of the waste heat boiler need to be cleaned regularly to ensure the normal operation of the boiler.
[0003] Existing technologies cannot achieve comprehensive cleaning of waste heat boilers, resulting in poor cleaning effects. However, incomplete cleaning of the heat exchange tubes in waste heat boilers can lead to uneven heating, deformation, or damage. This heat loss can enter subsequent systems, increasing production costs or failing to meet environmental standards, and may even clog the waste heat boiler flue, causing a decrease in system processing capacity and ultimately shutdown.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic ash removal device for waste heat boilers that has its own ash removal function, enabling multi-directional ash removal and improving the performance and service life of waste heat boilers. Utility Model Content

When the reducer moves to a certain position, it causes the cam groove to press against the stop pin, the stop pin is pressed tight, and the spring of the cleaning medium intake valve automatically closes.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, cooling air is injected into the inner tube 14 and outer tube 13 of the ash-cleaning gun through the pipes from the first cooling air inlet pipe 18 and the second cooling air inlet pipe 19. The travel switch 8 is activated, and the trolley motor 1 rotates forward, driving the bearing, chain 3, and outer tube 13 of the trolley reducer 2 to rotate synchronously. The top gear and gear rack of the trolley reducer 2 engage and move forward. The cam groove 28 moves forward with the reducer 2, releasing the pressure on the impact pin 25. The spring valve stem of the ash-cleaning medium intake lifting valve 20 pushes open the impact pin 25, allowing the ash-cleaning medium to enter the inner tube 14 and outer tube 13 of the ash-cleaning gun through the pipes and reach the nozzle 15 for spraying. As the outer tube 13 of the ash-cleaning gun rotates and moves forward, the nozzle 15 covers and purges the heat exchange tube 22 inside the waste heat boiler. When the pressure of the ash-cleaning medium is greater than the cooling air pressure, the ash-cleaning medium continues to flow. When the cooling air pressure is reduced, the check valve of the cooling air duct closes, stopping the injection of cooling air into the inner tube 14 of the cleaning gun. When the trolley reducer 2 reaches the designated position, it triggers the rear limiter 5, the trolley motor 1 changes its rotation direction, driving the trolley reducer 2 to rotate in the opposite direction. The trolley motor 1, the trolley reducer 2, and the outer tube 13 of the cleaning gun move backward, and the outer tube 13 of the cleaning gun rotates 360° in the opposite direction. When the trolley reducer 2 returns to the starting position, it triggers the front limiter 6, the trolley motor 1 resumes its rotation direction and stops rotating, the cam groove 28 presses the impact pin 25, driving the spring valve stem of the cleaning medium intake lift valve 20 to close the cleaning medium intake lift valve 20, the cleaning medium stops intake, the pressure of the cleaning medium is less than the pressure of the cooling air, the check valve of the cooling air duct opens, and cooling air is injected into the inner tube 14 and the outer tube 13 of the cleaning gun, and the cleaning work is completed.
