Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber ball cleaning technology, specifically to a ball-launching device for a rubber ball cleaning system. Background Technology
[0002] The rubber ball cleaning device is used to clean the condenser cooling tubes in steam turbine units. It has a good cleaning effect, keeping the cooling tubes clean and extending their service life. During cleaning, rubber balls are sent into the condenser tubes by a ball pump. The rubber balls clean the tube walls as they move with the water flow in the cooling tubes. They are then collected back to the return tube through the other end of the pipeline and finally discharged with the sewage. New rubber balls are then added. However, the lack of a recycling structure means that a large number of rubber balls are needed for the cleaning process, which increases costs and makes frequent ball replacement time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Several bottom leakage holes are opened on the bottom surface of the inclined part of the ball conveying pipeline. The drainage groove is installed on the bottom plate through the frame. The drainage groove is located below the bottom leakage holes. The water added during cleaning can enter the drainage groove through the bottom leakage holes and finally be discharged.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the lifting part includes an inner wall mounting groove, a lead screw, a lead screw motor and a mounting plate. The inner wall mounting groove is opened on the right side wall of the processing chamber. The lead screw is rotatably installed in the inner wall mounting groove. The lead screw is driven by the lead screw motor. One end of the mounting plate is placed in the inner wall mounting groove and installed in conjunction with the lead screw, and the other end is fixed to the bottom surface of the inner screen box.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the bottom surface of the left fixed box is V-shaped, and the lower end is connected to the connecting channel. A hot air dryer is installed on the bottom surface of the processing chamber, and the output end of the hot air dryer is connected to the horizontal part of the ball conveying pipeline through several drying pipes.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the ball is fed into the condenser through the ball pump and the ball pipe. After cleaning the condenser, the ball enters the processing chamber through the return ball pipe. The ball is filtered by the internal sieve box and then moved upward by the lifting part, so that the ball enters the left fixed box. During the falling process, the ball is cleaned and dried in the ball conveying pipeline using a hot air dryer and drying pipeline, and finally recycled back to the ball pump.
