Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a chain breakage protection control system for a slag remover. Technical Background
[0002] As a crucial component of a boiler system, the reliability of the slag remover directly impacts the safe and stable operation of the entire system. The chain, a core component of the slag remover, is the most prone to problems during operation, with chain breakage being the most common issue. Chain breakage not only involves significant repair and restoration work, resulting in high costs, but also presents significant safety risks to maintenance personnel during boiler operation. Furthermore, chain breakage poses a safety hazard to the boiler system and the entire unit. If the chain breakage protection system is improperly configured, the chain will not be adequately protected under harsh operating conditions, leading to frequent chain breakages. The importance of a chain breakage protection system is self-evident; however, improper settings can cause malfunctions and frequent tripping of the slag remover. Therefore, a chain breakage protection control system for slag removers is needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] The third input relay delay circuit includes a normally open contact 7.1 and a normally closed contact 7.2 of the third input relay connected in parallel. The normally open contact of the third input relay is connected in series with the coil 13 of the fifth delay relay, and the normally closed contact of the third input relay is connected in series with the coil 14 of the sixth delay relay. The parallel main circuit is connected in series with the coil 19 of the third output relay.

[0027] The chain breakage protection control system for a slag remover includes an action output circuit comprising four normally open contacts of output relays. The four normally open contacts of the output relays are connected in series in pairs and then in parallel. The main circuit after the parallel connection is connected in series with the coil of the trip relay.
[0028] Reference Figure 4 The normally open contact 17.1 of the first output relay and the normally open contact 19.1 of the third output relay are connected in series, and the normally open contact 18.1 of the second output relay and the normally open contact 20.1 of the fourth output relay are connected in series. After the series connection, the two circuits are connected in parallel, and the main circuit after the parallel connection is connected in series with the trip relay coil 21.
[0029] Working principle: After the scraper of the slag remover rotates, the first limit switch 1 and the third limit switch 3 will operate simultaneously, and the second limit switch 2 and the fourth limit switch 4 will operate simultaneously.
[0030] The electrical circuit operation process when one side of the chain breaks:
[0031] Taking the side where the first and third limit switches are located as an example, when the chain on this side breaks, there are two possible scenarios:
[0032] 1) If the first limit switch is in the triggered state, the first input relay coil is energized, the normally open contact K5.1 of the first input relay is closed, the first time delay relay coil 9 is energized, the first time delay relay is closed after 90s, and the first output relay coil 17 is energized;
[0033] 2) If the first limit switch is in the untriggered state, the first input relay coil is not energized, the normally closed contact K5.2 of the first input relay is energized, the second time delay relay coil 10 is energized, the second time delay relay is energized after 90s, and the first output relay coil is energized;
[0034] In summary, once this chain breaks, the coil of the first output relay will definitely be energized;
[0035] 3) If the third limit switch is in the triggered state, the third input relay coil 7 is energized, the normally open contact K7.1 of the third input relay is closed, the fifth time delay relay coil 13 is closed after 90s, and the third output relay coil 19 is energized;
[0036] 4) If the third limit switch is in the untriggered state, the third input relay coil is not energized, the normally closed contact K7.2 of the third input relay is energized, the sixth time delay relay coil 14 is energized after 90s, and the third output relay coil 19 is energized;
[0037] In summary, once this chain breaks, the third output relay coil 19 will definitely be energized;
[0038] In summary, after the chain on the side where the first limit switch and the third limit switch are located breaks, the first output relay coil and the third relay coil will definitely be energized. K17.1 is the normally open contact of the first output relay and is in the energized state. K19.1 is the normally open contact of the third output relay and is in the energized state. As a result, the trip relay coil 21 is energized. K21.1 is the normally open contact of the trip relay. K21.1 is energized and sends out a trip signal.
[0039] To prevent malfunction of the protection system when a single limit switch fails:
[0040] Taking the first limit switch as an example, once the first limit switch is damaged, its output signal will no longer change. The first output relay coil is energized and K17.1 is engaged, but the third output relay coil is not energized and K19.1 is in the open state. The trip relay coil is not energized and K21.1 is open, so no trip signal will be sent falsely, thus preventing the protection from malfunctioning.
[0041] To prevent the protection system from failing to operate when a single limit switch fails:
[0042] Taking the first limit switch as an example, once the first limit switch is damaged, its output signal will no longer change, the first output relay coil will be energized, and K17.1 will be energized.
[0043] In this situation, if the chain on the side where the first and third limit switches are located actually breaks, at this moment...
[0044] 1) If the third limit switch is in the triggered state, the coil of the third input relay is energized, the normally open contact K7.1 of the third input relay is energized, the fifth time delay relay is energized after 90 seconds, and the coil of the third output relay is energized;
[0045] 2) If the third limit switch is in the untriggered state, the third input relay coil is not energized, the normally closed contact K7.2 of the third input relay is energized, the sixth time delay relay is energized after 90 seconds, and the third output relay coil is energized;
[0046] In summary, once this chain breaks, the third output relay will definitely be energized; K19.1 will engage.
[0047] This energizes the trip relay coil. K21.1 is the normally open contact of the trip relay. When K21.1 is energized, a trip signal is sent out to prevent the protection system from failing to operate.
[0048] The delay time in the first delay relay 9, the second delay relay 10, the third delay relay 11, the fourth delay relay 12, the fifth delay relay 13, the sixth delay relay 14, the seventh delay relay 15, and the eighth delay relay 16 is generally set to 90 seconds. The delay time t of this control system is adjusted according to the time t1 from the two adjacent scrapers to the limit switch during the low-speed operation of the chain. The delay time is usually set to t = t1 + (5-10) s.
[0049] By setting four limit switches, the failure of a single switch will not cause the protection to malfunction and trip the slag remover, nor will the failure of a single switch cause the protection to fail and damage the equipment.
