[0021] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0023] Example 1, as Figure 1 As shown, a complementary air intake pipeline for a large and medium-sized air supply system includes a running fan 1. The running fan 1 is responsible for providing a stable air supply to a blast furnace or other industrial equipment. The stable operation of the running fan 1 ensures a continuous and stable air supply volume. An air delivery duct 2 is installed on the running fan 1. The air delivery duct 2 is used to transport the airflow generated by the running fan 1 to the target equipment, such as a blast furnace, providing effective airflow transmission.

[0024] A vent pipe 4 extends from one side of the air supply duct 2. The vent pipe 4 is used to discharge excess airflow, preventing excessive internal pressure, quickly releasing pressure to prevent equipment damage, and protecting equipment operation safety. The operating fan 1 is connected to the suction chamber 8 via a suction duct 7. The suction chamber 8 is the first step for air entry, drawing air from the outside. The suction duct 7 is used to introduce air into the operating fan 1, providing a stable air intake channel to ensure that the operating fan 1 can continuously receive sufficient air supply.

[0025] A connecting pipe 10 extends from the suction duct 7, connecting to the backup duct 11. The connecting pipe 10 connects the suction duct 7 and the backup duct 11, forming a complementary air intake system. The connecting pipe 10 provides a backup air intake channel, allowing for rapid switching in case of problems with the main air intake path, thus preventing air supply interruption. The bottom of the backup duct 11 connects to the second suction chamber 14, which draws in air from the outside. The backup duct 11 receives air from the second suction chamber 14 and can also supply air to the suction duct 7 through the connecting pipe 10, increasing system redundancy and ensuring uninterrupted air supply.

[0026] The top of the backup duct 11 is connected to a backup fan 16. The backup fan 16 is activated when the operating fan 1 malfunctions or cannot meet demand, ensuring continuous air supply, providing additional safety, and reducing the risk of air supply interruption. The backup fan 16 is connected to a second air supply duct 17, which in turn connects to the backup fan 16, delivering airflow to the target equipment. This ensures that once the backup fan 16 is activated, airflow can be delivered to the equipment quickly and effectively, preventing air supply interruption. A backup vent duct 19 extends from one side of the backup fan 16. The backup vent duct 19 is used to discharge excess airflow, preventing excessive internal pressure.

[0027] The specific design of the aforementioned key components will be discussed in detail below:

[0028] An air supply flow meter 3 is installed on the air supply duct 2. The air supply flow meter 3 is used to monitor the air flow rate through the air supply duct 2. Through accurate monitoring, the working status of the operating fan 1 can be adjusted in a timely manner to prevent insufficient or excessive air supply. A backup flow meter 18 is installed on the second air supply duct 17. The backup flow meter 18 is used to monitor the air flow rate through the second air supply duct 17.

[0029] The vent pipe 4 is provided with a vent port 5 at its end. The vent port 5 is the air outlet of the vent pipe 4. A vent valve 6 is provided on the vent pipe 4. The vent valve 6 controls the opening and closing of the vent pipe 4, thereby regulating the amount of air discharged.

[0030] An air filter port 9 is provided at one end of the air intake chamber 8, and a second air filter port 15 is provided at one end of the second air intake chamber 14. The air filter port 9 and the second air filter port 15 are respectively installed on the air intake chamber 8 and the second air intake chamber 14 to filter impurities in the air, ensure the quality of the air entering the operating fan 1 and the standby air, reduce the frequency of equipment maintenance, and extend the service life of the fan.

[0031] The connecting pipe 10 is equipped with an electric butterfly valve 12 and a pneumatic deflector valve 13. The electric butterfly valve 12 can automatically control the opening and closing, while the pneumatic deflector valve 13 is used to adjust the airflow distribution, providing precise airflow control capabilities and ensuring stable operation under different working conditions.

[0032] The backup vent pipe 19 is provided with a backup vent port 20 at its end. The backup vent port 20 is the air outlet of the backup vent pipe 19. A backup vent valve 21 is provided on the backup vent pipe 19. The backup vent valve 21 controls the airflow discharge of the backup vent pipe 19 to ensure that the airflow can be quickly adjusted in an emergency and the system can be kept running stably.
