Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a wind-dust sensor, belonging to the field of wind-dust detection technology. Background Technology

[0002] The air-coal sensor is an intuitive and effective online monitoring device for parameters such as air velocity and coal powder concentration in pulverized coal boilers of power plants. It provides important scientific basis for operators to make reasonable adjustments to combustion conditions. By monitoring and recording flow parameters such as coal powder concentration, air temperature, and air velocity in the air ducts online, it can effectively improve the stability, safety, and economy of boiler operation.

[0003] Existing coal-air pulverizer sensors all employ a ring-shaped sealed cavity design, with the inner diameter of the ring matching the inner diameter of the on-site coal pulverizer pipe, and four sets of electrodes evenly distributed. During actual assembly, the numerous components and mating surfaces make sealing the ring-shaped cavity difficult, posing a risk of water vapor ingress and coal pulverizer leakage from the furnace. Furthermore, on-site installation requires cutting a section of the coal pulverizer pipe along its circumference and welding a flange, resulting in a large workload and high difficulty. Therefore, considering both performance and cost, a new type of coal-air pulverizer sensor is urgently needed to effectively solve the aforementioned problems of traditional ring-shaped coal-air pulverizer sensors. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and thereby provide a wind-powder sensor.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A wind-powder sensor includes a sensor body, a protective cover, and a mounting flange, wherein the sensor body and the mounting flange, as well as the protective cover and the mounting flange, are fixedly connected by a number of screws.

[0007] The sensor body includes a waveguide rod, a waveguide rod mounting base, three strip electrodes, three electrode mounting plates, three electrode pressure plates, and three 7-shaped sensing elements. The three electrode mounting plates and the three strip electrodes are arranged alternately from top to bottom, and are fixed together by several first screws. Each strip electrode is fixed to the electrode mounting plate above it. The waveguide rod mounting base and the lowest strip electrode are arranged parallel to each other, and are fixed to the lowest electrode mounting plate by at least two second screws. The waveguide rod is horizontally arranged and fixedly inserted into the waveguide rod mounting base, with both ends extending beyond the mounting base. Each strip electrode, each electrode mounting plate, and the end face of the waveguide rod mounting plate away from the protective cover are curved surfaces.

[0008] Each strip electrode has a slot at its bottom, and the electrode pressure plate is correspondingly installed in the slot. One end of each of the three 7-shaped sensing plates is clamped between the three strip electrodes and the three electrode pressure plates, while the other end passes horizontally through and extends out of the electrode mounting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a limiting groove and a through hole are connected in the horizontal direction on the waveguide rod mounting base. A rubber pad is installed in the limiting groove, and the waveguide rod is sequentially inserted into the rubber pad and the through hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a waveguide rod pressure plate is attached to one end of the rubber pad away from the through hole, and the waveguide rod pressure plate is fixed to the waveguide rod mounting base by a fifth screw.

[0011] Furthermore, an O-ring seal is used to seal the connection between the mounting flange and the protective cover.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting flange and the sensor body are sealed with a gasket.

[0013] Furthermore, the protective cover is fixed to the mounting flange by a number of circumferentially distributed third screws.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper part of the mounting flange is fixed to the uppermost electrode mounting plate by at least two fourth screws, and the lower part of the mounting flange is fixed to the waveguide rod mounting base by at least two fourth screws.

[0015] Furthermore, each strip electrode is fixed to its corresponding electrode mounting plate above it by a sixth screw.

Furthermore, each strip electrode is fixed to the electrode mounting plate by pressing it against the top and bottom. Compared to existing technologies, this design features simpler component structure, easier processing, lower manufacturing costs, and reliable sealing. During on-site construction, only a corresponding hole needs to be drilled in the side wall of the pulverized coal pipeline; the entire pipeline section does not need to be cut, simplifying the operation.

The waveguide rod 11 is horizontally arranged and fixedly inserted into the waveguide rod mounting base 12, with both ends of the waveguide rod 11 extending out of the waveguide rod mounting base 12. The end face of each strip electrode 13, each electrode mounting plate 14, and the waveguide rod 11 mounting plate away from the protective cover 2 is an arc surface.

[0030] Each strip electrode 13 has a slot at its bottom, and the electrode pressure plate 15 is correspondingly installed in the slot. One end of several 7-shaped sensing plates 16 is correspondingly clamped between several strip electrodes 13 and several electrode pressure plates 15, and the other end passes horizontally through and extends out of the electrode mounting plate 14.

[0031] The number of strip electrodes 13, electrode mounting plates 14, electrode pressure plates 15, and 7-shaped sensing sheets 16 are preferably three.

[0032] Each strip electrode 13, each electrode mounting plate 14, and the end face of the waveguide rod 11 mounting plate away from the protective cover 2 are arc-shaped. Each strip electrode 13 and the electrode mounting plate 14 are fixed by pressing from top to bottom. Compared with the prior art, the component structure is simple, easy to process, and has low processing and manufacturing costs, and the sealing is reliable. During on-site construction, only a corresponding hole needs to be opened on the side wall of the pulverized coal pipeline, without having to cut off the entire pipeline, making the operation simpler.

[0033] The sensor body 1 and the protective cover 2 are fixedly connected by the mounting flange 3. Several screws used to fix the protective cover 2 and the mounting flange 3 are designated as third screws 4; several screws used to fix the sensor body 1 and the mounting flange 3 are designated as fourth screws 5. The third screws 4 and fourth screws 5 facilitate the installation and removal of the protective cover 2 from the mounting flange 3, and between the mounting flange 3 and the sensor body 1.

[0034] Three strip electrodes 13 are sandwiched between three parallel electrode mounting plates 14 and waveguide rod mounting base 12, with each strip electrode 13 fixedly connected to the electrode mounting plate 14 above it, thus fixing the relative position of the strip electrode 13 and the electrode mounting plate 14.

[0037] The second screw 18 is preferably two in number and is arranged along the length of the waveguide rod mounting base 12.

[0038] The function of waveguide rod 11 is to be inserted into the pulverized coal pipeline and conduct the mechanical energy of the pulverized coal impacting the waveguide rod. Its two ends extend out of the waveguide rod mounting seat 12, which is beneficial for the analysis of impact data. This structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The other end of the 7-shaped induction plate 16 passes horizontally through and extends out of the electrode mounting plate 14 for connecting cables.

[0040] The strip electrode 13 is used to extract the sensed coal powder charge for analysis.

[0041] The waveguide rod mounting base 12 has a limiting groove and a through hole connected in the horizontal direction.

[0044] The mounting flange 3 and the sensor body 1 are sealed by a gasket 7.
