Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery of preheating furnaces, and more particularly to a waste heat recovery device for preheating furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] Preheating furnaces, as an important industrial heating device, are widely used in industries such as steel, chemicals, and non-ferrous metals. Their main function is to heat raw materials or semi-finished products to a certain temperature to meet the requirements of subsequent processing. With rising energy costs and increasing environmental awareness, how to improve the energy efficiency of preheating furnaces, reduce energy consumption, and lower emissions has become a key focus both inside and outside the industry. In recent years, waste heat recovery technology has developed rapidly as one of the effective means of energy conservation and emission reduction.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent disclosure: a waste heat recovery device for a trolley-type gas preheating furnace (Authorization Announcement No.: CN210638538U). This utility model discloses a waste heat recovery device for a trolley-type gas preheating furnace, including a base, a housing fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, an inlet mechanism fixedly connected to one side of the housing, an outlet mechanism fixedly connected to the side of the housing away from the inlet mechanism, and a recovery mechanism fixedly connected between the inlet mechanism and the outlet mechanism. This waste heat recovery device for a trolley-type gas preheating furnace controls the waste heat gas to enter through the first flare in the inlet mechanism, reaching the first sealing layer, and then being insulated by the first insulation material before reaching the recovery mechanism. The heat is then dissipated and reused through heat pipes and copper fins, avoiding waste. Finally, the ineffective gas is discharged from the outlet through the second sealing layer in the outlet mechanism. Multiple sealing layers prevent waste heat gas from leaking out of the device, and the multiple heat pipes further enhance the waste heat recovery effect.
[0004] However, in the actual application of this patented technology, in the traditional preheating furnace design, the high-temperature flue gas generated by combustion is usually directly discharged into the atmosphere. This not only leads to a large amount of heat loss, but also increases environmental pollution. Although a filter screen is installed in the flue during flue gas discharge, the filter screen is in a closed space, which makes cleaning inconvenient and affects the effect of waste heat recovery.

The dust is removed by the rotational motion, which reduces the workload of manual maintenance and improves the cleaning efficiency. The automated cleaning process ensures that the filter screen 7 is kept clean and avoids the decrease in heat exchange efficiency caused by dust accumulation. In addition, regular cleaning can also prevent the corrosion of the filter screen 7.
[0027] Specifically, the circulation mechanism 6 includes a water pump 601, a sleeve 602, a water delivery pipe 603, and a water storage tank 604. The water storage tank 604 is located inside the housing 3. One side of the delivery pipe 502 is connected to the water pump 601, and the other side of the delivery pipe 502 extends through the housing 3 into the water storage tank 604. The delivery sleeve 602 is located on the surface of the connecting pipe 4, and one side of the sleeve 602 is connected to the water pump 601.
[0028] Through the above technical solution, by setting up the circulation mechanism 6, the water pump 601 transfers the water inside the water storage tank 604 to the water delivery pipe 603, and then to the sleeve 602. Since the sleeve 602 is fitted on the connecting pipe 4, the heat from the exhaust pipe 2 is transferred to the inside of the connecting pipe 4 through the delivery pipe 502, which can heat the water inside the sleeve 602. The water is then transferred to the inside of the water storage tank 604, which can achieve the circulation function. The water storage tank 604, as a heat energy storage device, can store the heat recovered from the exhaust pipe 2. The sealing ring 605 can seal the connection between the connecting pipe 4 and the sleeve 602.

[0037] Working principle: During operation, flue gas in the preheating furnace body 1 passes through the exhaust pipe 2 and filter screen 7, and is conveyed into the inside of the conveying pipe 502. The output end of the motor 501 drives the rotating rod 503 to rotate, and the cleaning brush 504 at the bottom of the rotating rod 503 directly contacts the filter screen 7, removing accumulated ash through rotation. This reduces the workload of manual maintenance and improves cleaning efficiency.
