A sealing air interface 4 is provided on one end of the outer wall of the second sealing component 3. A pressing component 5 is fixedly installed in the groove of the sealing air interface 4. An air supply component 6 is sealed and connected to the sealing air interface 4.

[0023] The first sealing assembly 2 includes a sealing cover 21 and a graphite ring 22 disposed inside the sealing cover 21.

[0024] The air supply assembly 6 includes a fan 61 and a positive pressure air duct 62 located at one end of the fan 61. A shut-off valve 63 is provided on one side of the upper end of the positive pressure air duct 62, and a check valve 64 is provided on the other side of the upper end of the positive pressure air duct 62.

[0025] The check valve 64 is installed to prevent backflow of ash-containing air from leaking from the air preheater. One end of the positive pressure air pipe 62 is connected and fixed to the sealed air interface 4.

[0026] In this embodiment: a labyrinth sealing structure is formed by setting a sealing cover 21 and a graphite ring 22. At the same time, the graphite ring 22 has a self-lubricating effect, which reduces wear and failure problems. The labyrinth sealing structure is formed in the sealing device to reduce the amount of ash-containing air leaking outward from the air preheater. Then, the fan 61 is connected to the sealing cover 21 through the sealing air interface 4 to form a positive pressure sealing structure, thereby achieving the purpose of positive pressure sealing of the air preheater center cylinder.

[0027] Example 2: This example is an improvement on Example 1. For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The clamping assembly 5 includes a pull-down mechanism 51 and a fixing mechanism 52 magnetically connected to the lower end of the pull-down mechanism 51.

[0028] The pull-down mechanism 51 includes an arc-shaped connecting rod 511 and an elastic element 512 fixedly installed at the lower end of the arc-shaped connecting rod 511.

[0029] A first semi-circular block 513 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the elastic element 512, and magnetic inserts 514 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the first semi-circular block 513.

[0030] The fixing mechanism 52 includes a corresponding rod 521 and a second semi-circular block 522 fixedly installed on the upper end of the corresponding rod 521. Inner magnetic grooves 523 are respectively opened on both sides of the upper end of the second semi-circular block 522. The magnetic insert 514 and the inner magnetic grooves 523 are magnetically connected and fixed.

[0031] In this embodiment: After the operator connects one end of the positive pressure air duct 62 to the sealed air interface 4, in order to improve the stability of the installation of the positive pressure air duct 62, since the second semi-circular block 522 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the slot of the sealed air interface 4 by the corresponding rod 521, this setting allows the lower end of the positive pressure air duct 62 to be placed directly on the upper end of the second semi-circular block 522 when connected to the sealed air interface 4.

Thus, the first semi-circular block 513 and the second semi-circular block 522 fix the positive pressure air duct 62 to one side of the slot of the sealed air interface 4, improving the stability of the connection of the positive pressure air duct 62.

[0032] Working principle: A labyrinth seal structure is formed by the sealing cover 21 and the graphite ring 22. The graphite ring 22 has a self-lubricating effect, reducing wear and failure. This labyrinth seal structure within the sealing device reduces the amount of ash-laden air leaking outwards from the air preheater. Connecting the fan 61 to the sealing cover 21 via the sealing air interface 4 forms a positive pressure seal, thus achieving a positive pressure seal for the air preheater's central cylinder. After the operator connects one end of the positive pressure air pipe 62 to the sealing air interface 4, to improve the stability of the positive pressure air pipe 62 installation, the second semi-circular block 52... 2. It is fixedly installed at the lower end of the groove of the sealing air interface 4 by the corresponding rod 521. This setting allows the lower end of the positive pressure air pipe 62 to be placed directly on the upper end of the second semi-circular block 522 when it is connected to the sealing air interface 4. The lower end of the positive pressure air pipe 62 is supported by the second semi-circular block 522. At the same time, the first semi-circular block 513 is pulled to drive the magnetic plug 514 to be inserted into the inner magnetic groove 523 for magnetic fixation. Thus, the positive pressure air pipe 62 is fixed to one side of the groove of the sealing air interface 4 by the first semi-circular block 513 and the second semi-circular block 522.
