Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rotary kiln equipment, specifically a rotary kiln tire replacement and cylinder adjustment device. Background Technology
[0002] The roasting process is a core step in the Bayer process of alumina production, and the rotary kiln is one of the key pieces of equipment in this process. Currently, the alumina plant has three rotary kiln production lines in its roasting process. One of these lines is in poor condition due to years of disrepair; another line has extensive detachment and cracks on its tires and support rollers, rendering it unable to operate normally. A major overhaul of the former rotary kiln and replacement of the latter's tires and support rollers are necessary. This requires cutting and dismantling the tires and cylinder of the former rotary kiln, installing the new cylinder and tires, and ensuring high-quality and efficient welding of the old and new cylinders. Precise and effective adjustments must be made at the interface between the old and new cylinders to create safe, stable, and rapid welding conditions, reduce safety risks, improve labor efficiency, save costs, and shorten the repair period. This new device also facilitates troubleshooting and adjustment of similar equipment, enabling safe, high-quality, and efficient operation of this process.
[0003] The following three reasons contribute to the current inefficient assembly and adjustment process, the inability to guarantee accuracy, the large workload, and the lack of safety control:
[0004] 1) Due to the large length of the rotary kiln body (121.92m), large diameter (φ4.2672m), and large weight (estimated at 926t), fine-tuning during installation is very difficult.
[0005] 2) Since welding quality is the key to the quality of tire replacement, if there are problems such as improper adjustment clearance or misalignment, the welding quality cannot be guaranteed.
[0006] 3) Because the rotary kiln has a slight tilt, the equipment is prone to tilting or slipping during the adjustment process, which poses a significant safety hazard.
[0007] For the reasons mentioned above, conventional methods of assembling and adjusting new cylinders and tires have problems such as uncontrolled safety, low work efficiency, and inability to guarantee quality.
[0008] The existing assembly and adjustment devices are not suitable for assembling and adjusting the cylinders in large rotary kilns. Utility Model Content
[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rotary kiln tire replacement and adjustment device with a more reasonable structural design, convenient operation, easy processing and manufacturing, low manufacturing cost, time-saving, manpower-saving, safe and reliable operation, eliminating safety hazards such as cylinder tilting and slippage, and fully ensuring the safety of operators.
[0010] This utility model discloses a rotary kiln tire replacement cylinder assembly adjustment device, which includes a first fixing block and a second fixing block. A screw is provided through the first fixing block and the second fixing block, and nuts are respectively installed at both ends of the screw. The nuts are located on the side walls of the first fixing block and the second fixing block.
[0011] The bottom surface of the first fixing block is fixedly connected to the original cylinder, and the first fixing block 1 is evenly arranged along the circumference of the cylinder wall surface of the original cylinder; the bottom surface of the second fixing block is fixedly connected to the new cylinder, and the second fixing block is evenly arranged along the circumference of the cylinder wall surface of the new cylinder.
[0012] The first and second fixing blocks are of equal height.
[0013] The first and second fixing blocks, installed on the surfaces of the original and new cylinders, serve as a fixed connection for the assembly adjustment device, making the connection more stable. The first and second fixing blocks are set at the same height, providing a horizontal reference for the assembly of the original and new cylinders, ensuring they are on the same horizontal plane. This guarantees better assembly of the original and new cylinders, aligning the inner wall of the new cylinder with the inner wall of the original cylinder and coinciding their center lines. Simultaneously, the screw and nut installed between the first and second fixing blocks allow adjustment of the interface gap between the new and original cylinders by rotating the nut. Ultimately, this ensures the interface between the new and original cylinders meets welding requirements, facilitating better welding, guaranteeing the quality of the weld surface, and thus ensuring the overall quality of the replaced cylinder, extending its service life, fully guaranteeing the operation of the large rotary kiln equipment, improving production line efficiency, and making operation more convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving.
[0014] The new cylinder is fixedly connected to a first adjusting plate, which is evenly arranged around the circumference of the cylinder wall; the original cylinder is fixedly connected to a second adjusting plate, which is evenly arranged around the circumference of the cylinder wall.
[0015] The first adjustment plate includes a first fixed seat and a first inclined surface. The side wall of the first fixed seat is provided with the first inclined surface, and the first fixed seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall surface of the new cylinder. The second adjustment plate includes a second inclined surface and a second fixed seat. The side wall of the second fixed seat is provided with the second inclined surface, and the second fixed seat is fixedly connected to the surface of the original cylinder.
[0016] After adjusting the gap between the new and original cylinders using the screw and nut, a first adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the new cylinder, and a second adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the original cylinder. A first fixing seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the new cylinder, and a second fixing seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the original cylinder. The fixed connection is stable and reliable. The second inclined surface moves along the first inclined surface. Therefore, the radial position of the new and original cylinders can be adjusted by the horizontal movement between the second and first inclined surfaces. Ultimately, the misalignment of the inner walls between the new and original cylinders meets the requirements, which is no more than 2mm. This fully ensures the welding requirements between the new and original cylinders, further guarantees the quality of the weld, and makes the operation more convenient, time-saving, labor-saving, safe, and reliable.
[0017] A sealing gasket is provided between the nut and the first fixing block and the second fixing block respectively.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1) The first and second fixing blocks installed on the surfaces of the original and new cylinders serve as a fixed connection for the assembly adjustment device, making the connection more stable. The first and second fixing blocks are set at the same height, providing a horizontal reference for the assembly of the original and new cylinders, ensuring that the original and new cylinders are on the same horizontal plane, thereby ensuring better assembly of the original and new cylinders, aligning the inner wall of the new cylinder with the inner wall of the original cylinder, and coinciding their center lines. At the same time, the screw and nut installed between the first and second fixing blocks can be used to adjust the interface gap between the new and original cylinders by rotating the nut, ultimately ensuring that the interface between the new and original cylinders meets the welding requirements, better welding the two, ensuring the quality of the weld surface, and thus ensuring the overall quality of the replaced cylinder, extending its service life, fully guaranteeing the operation of the large rotary kiln equipment, improving the working efficiency of the production line, making operation more convenient, and saving time and effort.
[0020] 2) After adjusting the gap between the new cylinder and the original cylinder through the cooperation of the screw and nut, the first adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the new cylinder, the second adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the original cylinder, the first fixing seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the new cylinder, and the second fixing seat is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the original cylinder. The fixed connection is stable and reliable. The second inclined surface moves along the first inclined surface. Therefore, the radial position of the new cylinder and the original cylinder can be adjusted by the horizontal movement between the second inclined surface and the first inclined surface. Finally, the misalignment of the inner wall between the new cylinder and the original cylinder meets the requirements, which is no more than 2mm. This fully guarantees the welding requirements between the new cylinder and the original cylinder, further ensures the quality of the weld, and makes the operation more convenient, time-saving, labor-saving, safe and reliable.
[0021] 3) This matching and adjusting device has a more reasonable structural design, is easy to operate and manufacture, has low manufacturing cost, saves time and manpower, is safe and reliable to operate, eliminates safety hazards such as cylinder tilting and slippage, and fully ensures the safety of operators. It has been put into use and the effect is good. It is worth promoting and applying it on a large scale. Attached Figure Description
