Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a heat recovery device, and more particularly to a rotary heat extraction cylinder. Background Technology

[0002] Existing methods for utilizing waste heat from iron slag include heat extraction from molten iron, iron slag, slag pellets, and flue gas. However, these methods generally only recover heat sources with initial temperatures below 500 degrees Celsius, and primarily rely on flue gas convection for heat extraction, making it impossible to directly and efficiently extract heat from iron slag at temperatures above 500 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, they suffer from uncontrollable heat release and excessively long extraction times, leading to heat loss and hindering the maximization of heat utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a rotary heat extraction cylinder to solve the problem that the existing technology cannot directly and efficiently extract heat from iron slag with a temperature higher than 500 degrees Celsius.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a rotary heat extraction cylinder, comprising: a cylindrical body including an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder; the inner cylinder is fixed inside the outer cylinder by a fixing device, and a distance is maintained between the outer wall of the inner cylinder and the inner wall of the outer cylinder to form an air duct; one end of the cylinder is an inlet, and the other end is an outlet; a support frame device including at least two support platforms arranged in a straight line, the support platforms being used to support the cylinder; when the cylinder is placed on the support platforms, the axis of the cylinder forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane, thereby making the vertical heights of the inlet and outlet different; and a rotation drive device for applying rotational force to the cylinder, causing the cylinder to rotate circumferentially on the support platforms. The system includes a rotating shaft; an air inlet device located at one end of the air duct to blow gas into the air duct, creating an airflow; and a heat collection pipe located at the other end of the air duct and connected to a thermoelectric conversion system. The heat collection pipe collects the hot airflow flowing out of the air duct and transfers it to the thermoelectric conversion system. When slag from steelmaking with a temperature between 900℃ and 500℃ enters the inner cylinder from the inlet, the rotating drive device drives the cylinder to rotate circumferentially. The slag inside the cylinder rolls and is broken up, releasing heat. The heat diffuses or is conducted through the inner cylinder wall to the air duct. The airflow blown into the air duct by the air inlet device carries the heat to the heat collection pipe.

[0005] The rotary heat extraction cylinder of this application is suitable for heat extraction from medium-high temperature iron slag with a temperature between 900℃ and 500℃. The iron slag, initially in a semi-fluid, semi-solid state, enters the cylinder. The slag is tumbled and impacted within the cylinder, releasing heat. This heat is collected through the air duct and converted into electrical energy by the thermoelectric conversion system. The entire processing environment is relatively closed and independent, with high heat utilization, large single-pass processing capacity, and extremely high processing efficiency. It reduces the processing time for medium-high temperature iron slag at 900℃-500℃ from 12 hours to 60 minutes compared to existing technologies. Furthermore, compared to the existing water-spraying heat extraction method, it saves water and is more environmentally friendly. Heat release can also be controlled as needed: 1) When heat is not needed, the double cylinder acts as an insulation device to store heat; 2) When heat is needed, the cylinder rotation speed and air duct ventilation volume are controlled to provide the required heat for production.

[0030] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the outer cylinder is provided with insulation material to prevent heat loss.

[0031] The specific implementation process and technical effects of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figure 1The rotary heat extraction cylinder shown is an embodiment of a rotary heat extraction cylinder, comprising: a cylindrical cylinder 100, at least two support platforms 50, an air inlet device, a heat collection pipe, and a rotation drive device 60. One end of the cylinder 100 is an inlet 101, and the other end is an outlet 102. An air duct is provided inside the cylinder 100. The two support platforms 50 are arranged in a straight line on the ground or a support plane A. The two support platforms are at different heights, so when the cylinder 100 is placed on the support platforms 50, the inlet 101 and outlet 102 of the cylinder 100 are at different heights. The surface of the support platform 50 that contacts the cylinder is an arc-shaped surface, and ball bearings or rollers are arranged on the arc-shaped surface. When the rotation drive device 60 drives the cylinder 100 to rotate, the ball bearings or rollers on the arc-shaped surface facilitate the rotation of the cylinder. Generally, the height of the inlet 101 is higher than the height of the outlet 102. The rotation drive device 60 is used to apply rotational force to the cylinder, causing the cylinder to rotate circumferentially on the support platforms. An air inlet device (not shown in the figure) is located at one end of the air duct, and a heat collection pipe (not shown in the figure) is located at the other end of the cylinder. Generally, the air inlet device is located at the inlet end of the cylinder to blow gas into the air duct, creating an airflow within the duct. The heat collection pipe is located at the outlet to collect the hot airflow flowing out of the air duct and transfer it to the thermoelectric conversion system. A negative pressure machine can also be installed at the end of the heat collection pipe to accelerate the process of heat transfer from the air duct to the heat collection pipe. The cylinder 100 is made of cast iron with a diameter greater than 2200 mm. In one embodiment, the inner cylinder has a diameter of 2200 mm, the outer cylinder has an outer diameter of 2492 mm, and a wall thickness of 50 mm. The rotary heat extraction cylinder also includes a slag scraping assembly (not shown in the figure), located at the inlet 101 of the cylinder 100, including a support and a slag scraper; the bottom of the support is fixed to the ground A, and the top of the support is fixed to the slag scraper; in one embodiment, the top of the support is also provided with an arc-shaped fixing plate, which has a radius adapted to the inner cylinder, for fixing the slag scraper to the top of the support. The scraper plate is welded to the far end of the arc-shaped fixed plate, with its plane perpendicular to the inner surface of the inner cylinder. The scraper plate extends into the cylinder 100 through the inlet 101. One side (the bottom edge) of the scraper plate is close to the inner wall of the inner cylinder. The side of the scraper plate closest to the inner wall is serrated, so that when the cylinder 100 rotates, the scraper plate rotates relative to the cylinder, causing the slag inside the cylinder to move from the inlet towards the center of the cylinder. When slag from steelmaking, with a temperature between 900℃ and 500℃, enters the inner cylinder through the inlet, the rotating drive device drives the cylinder to rotate circumferentially. The slag inside the cylinder rolls and is crushed, breaking, and releasing heat. The heat diffuses or is transferred to the air duct through the inner cylinder wall. The airflow blown into the air duct by the air inlet device carries the heat to the heat collection pipe. After the slag is crushed and tumbled by the rotary heat extraction cylinder, it releases heat, causing the temperature to drop to around 300℃. The slag is then discharged from the outlet, awaiting processing in the next heat recovery stage.

[0033] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the cylinder 100 also includes an inner cylinder 20 and an outer cylinder 10; the inner cylinder 20 is fixed inside the outer cylinder 10 by a plurality of fixing devices 30, and a distance is maintained between the outer wall of the inner cylinder 20 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 10 to form an air duct 70; in one embodiment, the distance between the outer wall of the inner cylinder 20 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 10 is 150mm-250mm. The fixing devices 30 are welded to the inner wall of the outer cylinder and include a metal groove and an insert plate 31 that mates with the metal groove; and the inner cylinder 20 has insertion holes on its cylinder wall, the position and number of which correspond to the position and number of the metal groove, such as Figure 2 As shown, after the inner cylinder 20 is fitted inside the outer cylinder 10, the insertion hole on the inner cylinder 20 is aligned with the position of the metal groove. The metal groove separates the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 by a certain distance, thus forming the air duct 70. Then, the insert plate is inserted into the insertion hole on the inner cylinder wall and then into the corresponding position of the metal groove, thereby fixing the inner cylinder 20 and the outer cylinder 10 together.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the inner cylinder 20 is provided with multiple spiral protrusions 21. When the cylinder rotates, the spiral protrusions 21 guide the slag to roll towards the outlet. When the slag rolls and falls onto the protrusions 21, it breaks the slag. Furthermore, the inner wall of the inner cylinder 20 is also provided with multiple slag-breaking components. In one embodiment, the slag-breaking components are multiple chain segments 41 suspended from the inner wall of the inner cylinder. The two ends of each chain segment 41 are fixed to the inner wall of the inner cylinder, and the length of the chain segment is greater than the distance between the two ends of the chain segment. The chain segments 41 are arranged in an array on the inner wall of the inner cylinder, and the fixed ends of adjacent chain segments 41 overlap, so that the chain segments cover as much space as possible on the inner wall of the inner cylinder, which facilitates full contact with the slag. The chain segments 41 swing as the cylinder rotates, thereby agitating and striking the slag in the inner cylinder and breaking it.

[0035] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the slag-breaking component consists of multiple slag-breaking plates 42, arranged in an array on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 20. A shaft hole is provided on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 20, and a hinge shaft 423 is provided at the end of each slag-breaking plate 42. Inserting the hinge shaft 423 into the shaft hole on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 20 achieves hinged connection between the slag-breaking plate 42 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder. When the cylinder 100 rotates, the slag-breaking plates 42 swing along with the rotation of the cylinder 100. Figure 4As shown, the slag-breaking plate 42 includes a main plate 421 and a serrated edge 422. The main plate 421 is a perforated plate, and the serrated edge 422 is perpendicular to the main plate 421, so that when the slag-breaking plate 42 swings, the serrations on the serrated edge 422 can directly strike the iron slag, thus achieving a better slag-breaking effect. In one embodiment, the slag-breaking component consists of multiple chain segments and multiple slag-breaking plates. The multiple slag-breaking plates and multiple chain segments are arranged in an array on the inner wall of the inner cylinder, with the slag-breaking plates and chain segments arranged alternately.

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this does not limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art can implement the present invention in various modifications without departing from its scope and spirit; for example, a feature of one embodiment can be used in another embodiment to obtain yet another embodiment. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should be within the scope of the present invention.
