Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of calcium carbide furnace purification technology, specifically to a special ash removal device for calcium carbide furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] The calcium carbide furnace is the main equipment for producing calcium carbide. Inside the furnace, the high temperature generated by the electric arc melts the furnace charge, causing a reaction that produces calcium carbide. The furnace body comes in many shapes, including round, elliptical, square, and rectangular. From a thermodynamic point of view, a round furnace is more advantageous. In reality, the choice of furnace body shape is mainly determined by the arrangement of the electrodes and the installation location of the carbon monoxide extraction equipment. Nowadays, most calcium carbide furnaces are round.
[0003] In actual production, the unique structure of the calcium carbide furnace causes ash in the fuel to condense on the heating surface. Fuel segregation leads to incomplete combustion of some fuel, which remains on the heating surface. Thermal deviation causes localized excessively high flame temperatures. Improper operation includes issues such as unreasonable air distribution and loss of control over coal feeding. Ash and coking accumulation in the heat exchange tube bundles inside the waste heat boiler narrows the flue gas passage, causing a large amount of flue gas to overflow, affecting the normal operation of the system. In addition, ash accumulation can reduce heat transfer efficiency and thermal efficiency, increase energy consumption, and may even cause equipment failure. This results in frequent and substantial investment of manpower and resources on-site to regularly inspect the heating surface and clean areas with severe ash and slag accumulation. Cleaning also requires production to be stopped while waiting for the boiler to cool down, causing losses. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a special ash removal device for calcium carbide furnaces to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a special ash removal device for calcium carbide furnaces, including a first calcium carbide furnace body, a second calcium carbide furnace body located at the right end of the first calcium carbide furnace body, an air shock wave ash removal mechanism located at the outer ends of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies, and an acoustic ash removal mechanism located at the top of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies.
[0006] The air shock wave cleaning mechanism includes an air shock wave cleaner, which is installed at the outer end of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies. An air pipe is fixedly connected to the outer end of the air shock wave cleaner, and a filter regulating valve is installed on the surface of the air pipe. An air inlet is fixedly connected to the right end of the air pipe. A pulse transmitter is installed on the top of the air shock wave cleaner, and a connector is installed at the inner end of the air shock wave cleaner. An air shock wave cleaning pipe is fixedly connected to the inner end of the connector. The air shock wave cleaning mechanism is installed on the side of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies. Through the pressure relief and burst release technology, the air shock wave cleaner utilizes the energy of an instantaneously generated supersonic fluid shock wave (shock wave) to remove the ash adhering to the heat exchange tube bundle. The air shock wave cleaning mechanism instantaneously delivers compressed air into the interior of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies, generating vibration and impact within the equipment. This vibration and impact removes dust and carbon deposits from the equipment surface, effectively loosening and peeling off the ash, thus achieving the cleaning effect.
[0007] Preferably, the air shock wave cleaning mechanism is provided in three sets: one set of air shock wave cleaning mechanism is provided at the top left end of the first calcium carbide furnace body, and two sets of air shock wave cleaning mechanism are provided at the right end of the second calcium carbide furnace body.
[0008] Preferably, the air shock wave cleaning pipe penetrates the surface of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies, and the air shock wave cleaning pipe is disposed inside the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies.
[0009] Preferably, the acoustic cleaning mechanism includes an installation channel located at the top center of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies. An installation sleeve is installed at the top of the installation channel. A section of a sound amplification tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation sleeve. Two sections of a sound amplification tube are fixedly connected to the top of the installation sleeve. A third section of a sound amplification tube is fixedly connected to the top of the two sections of the sound amplification tube. A sound energy unit is installed at the top of the third section of the sound amplification tube. After the air shock wave cleaning mechanism removes the dust inside the second calcium carbide furnace body, the acoustic cleaning mechanism is activated to treat the dust, loosening the tightly packed ash adhering to the internal tube bundles. This works in conjunction with the air shock wave cleaning mechanism to remove the accumulated ash. The acoustic cleaning mechanism propels air into the interior of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies, transmitting it to the ash accumulation points through the air medium. The repeated oscillation of the sound waves causes fatigue damage to the ash structure, ultimately resulting in ash discharge through gravity or flue gas falling into ash discharge ports one and two.
[0010] Preferably, the acoustic cleaning mechanism is provided in two sets, and the section of the sound amplification tube is installed inside the installation channel.
[0011] Preferably, a connecting body is fixedly connected at the top between the first calcium carbide furnace body and the second calcium carbide furnace body, and an ash collection port is opened at the bottom of the connecting body. A flue gas inlet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left end of the first calcium carbide furnace body, and a flue gas outlet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the right end of the second calcium carbide furnace body. A base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first calcium carbide furnace body and the second calcium carbide furnace body, and an ash collection port is opened at the bottom of the first calcium carbide furnace body and the second calcium carbide furnace body.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a special ash removal device for calcium carbide furnaces, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This dedicated ash removal device for calcium carbide furnaces is equipped with an air shock wave ash removal mechanism. The air shock wave ash removal mechanism is installed on the sides of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies. Through the pressure relief and burst release technology, the air shock wave ash remover uses the energy of the instantaneously generated supersonic fluid shock wave (shock wave) to remove the ash adhering to the heat exchange tube bundle. The air shock wave ash removal mechanism instantaneously sends compressed air into the interior of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies, generating vibration and impact inside the equipment. Through this vibration and impact, dust and carbon deposits are removed from the surface of the equipment, effectively loosening and peeling off the ash, thereby achieving the ash removal effect.
[0014] The special ash removal device for calcium carbide furnaces is equipped with an acoustic ash removal mechanism. After the air shock wave ash removal mechanism removes the dust inside the Qianhe second calcium carbide furnace body, the acoustic ash removal mechanism is activated to treat the dust, making the ash attached to the internal tube bundles loose. This works in conjunction with the air shock wave ash removal mechanism to remove the ash. The acoustic ash removal mechanism pushes air into the interior of the first and second calcium carbide furnace bodies, transmitting it to the ash accumulation points through the air medium. The repeated vibration of the sound waves causes the ash structure to be damaged due to fatigue, and finally the ash is discharged through gravity or flue gas into the ash discharge port 1 and ash discharge port 2.

The air shock wave cleaning mechanism 8 is installed... Installed on the sides of the first calcium carbide furnace body 1 and the second calcium carbide furnace body 3, the air shock wave cleaner 81 uses pressure relief and burst release technology to generate supersonic fluid shock waves (shock waves) instantly, which can remove the ash adhering to the heat exchange tube bundle. The air shock wave cleaner 81 instantly sends compressed air into the first calcium carbide furnace body 1 and the second calcium carbide furnace body 3, generating vibration and impact inside the equipment.

Through this vibration and impact, dust and carbon deposits are removed from the surface of the equipment. In addition, it can effectively loosen and peel off the accumulated ash, thereby achieving the effect of ash removal. After the air shock wave ash removal mechanism 8 peels off the dust inside the second calcium carbide furnace body 3, the sonic ash removal mechanism 9 is activated to treat the dust, turning the tightly packed ash attached to the internal tube bundle into loose ash. It works in conjunction with the air shock wave ash removal mechanism 8 to remove the accumulated ash. The sonic ash removal mechanism 9 blows air into the first calcium carbide furnace body 1 and the second calcium carbide furnace body 3, and transmits it to the ash accumulation point through the air medium.
