Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of coal feeding technology, specifically to an interconnection mechanism for the raw coal bunker of a double-inlet double-outlet coal mill. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, thermal power plants often use coal blending to reduce fuel costs. However, existing coal conveying systems have many problems. For example, traditional raw coal bunkers have a simple structure and cannot flexibly allocate different types of coal, making it difficult to effectively adjust the operation of the unit according to load demand and the economics of different coal types.
[0003] The existing raw coal bunker partitioning modification divides the original bunker into two parts to store different types of coal, and controls the coal flow on both sides through gate valves for real-time coal blending and combustion. However, for coal conveying systems equipped with dual-inlet, dual-outlet coal mills, the lack of an effective interconnection mechanism in the raw coal bunker partitioning setting can easily lead to adverse conditions such as overheating of one side of the coal mill, affecting the service life and operational stability of the equipment, and reducing the efficiency and economy of the entire power generation system. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an interconnection mechanism for the raw coal bins of a double-inlet, double-outlet coal mill. A screw conveyor connects the coal hoppers of the two raw coal bins, one containing high-quality coal and the other low-quality coal. The gate valves of each bin are adjusted according to different loads and peak-shaving needs, and the coal is transferred to the boiler in real time via the screw conveyor, providing a coal ratio adapted to the load to meet the unit's rapid load changes throughout the day.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a raw coal bunker interconnection mechanism for a double-inlet double-outlet coal mill, characterized in that it includes a raw coal bunker system, an interconnection coal feeding system and a double-inlet double-outlet coal mill.
[0006] The raw coal storage system includes a rectangular raw coal storage unit. A partition wall is installed on the upper part of the rectangular raw coal storage unit, dividing the rectangular raw coal storage unit into two parts: raw coal storage compartment A and raw coal storage compartment B. A gate door A is installed in the conical coal hopper at the bottom of raw coal storage compartment A, and a gate door B is installed in the conical coal hopper at the bottom of raw coal storage compartment B.
[0007] The interconnected coal feeding system includes a screw conveyor and a guide plate installed below gate A and gate B. The opposite ends of the screw conveyor extend into the lower coal hoppers of raw coal bunker A and raw coal bunker B, respectively. The guide plate is vertically fixed and divides the coal hopper into two parts. The screw conveyor can rotate forward or reverse under the drive of a motor for mutual transfer of coal between the two bunkers.
[0008] The interconnected coal feeding system also includes a coal feeder A located below the raw coal bunker compartment A and a coal feeder B located below the raw coal bunker compartment B. The coal feeder A and the coal feeder B respectively feed coal to the double-inlet double-outlet coal mill.
[0009] The gate A and gate B are installed at a diameter of 2m in the conical coal hopper of the rectangular raw coal bunker. Gate A and gate B each include two inclined gates, and their opening and closing directions form a 20° angle with the running direction of the screw conveyor.
[0010] The partition wall is installed along the running direction of the coal conveyor belt. The partition wall includes a rigid beam with a pitch in the range of 1000mm to 1200mm and steel plates fixed on both sides of the rigid beam. The rigid beam can be made of HW250 steel of Q355B material, and the steel plate can be 10mm thick Q235B steel plate. Radar level gauges are installed on both sides of the partition wall.
[0011] The guide plate is arranged parallel to the running direction of the screw conveyor, and the space on the side where the screw conveyor is located occupies 60% of the total space below the gate, ensuring smooth coal flow on the side where the screw conveyor is located.
[0012] The raw coal silo A stores high-calorific-value coal, while the raw coal silo B stores low-calorific-value coal. When gate A is opened and gate B is closed, some of the coal in raw coal silo A directly enters the lower coal feeder A, while some of the coal falls onto the screw conveyor and is transported to raw coal silo B, and then enters the lower coal feeder B.
[0013] The drive motor of the screw conveyor is located outside the rectangular raw coal bunker, and the speed of the drive motor is matched with the speed of the coal feeder. The maximum coal conveying capacity of the screw conveyor meets the maximum output of the double-inlet double-outlet coal mill.
[0014] The screw conveyor is sealed to the raw coal bunker compartment A and raw coal bunker compartment B respectively, and the cross-section of the screw conveyor is 500×600mm.
[0015] An infrared camera and a level gauge are installed below the screw conveyor. The infrared camera, level gauge, gate, and screw conveyor are electrically connected, enabling the control system to automatically adjust the drive motor speed and coal flow rate.
[0016] The opening range of gate A and gate B is adjustable. By adjusting the opening range, the coal feed of the screw conveyor can be effectively controlled, thereby achieving the purpose of blending coal in different proportions to meet the real-time changing fuel demand of the unit.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model by adopting the above technical solution are as follows:
[0018] This utility model discloses a raw coal bunker interconnection mechanism for a double-inlet, double-outlet coal mill. By modifying the existing raw coal bunker of the unit, the coal conveying system can precisely blend and burn coal under different load conditions, and adjust the coal blending ratio in real time according to the unit's load requirements. This fully utilizes the characteristics and advantages of different coal types, while taking into account fuel economy, deep peak shaving requirements, and the operational stability requirements of the double-inlet, double-outlet coal mill. This raw coal bunker interconnection mechanism for a double-inlet, double-outlet coal mill integrates gate valves, screw conveyors, level gauges, and infrared cameras for dynamic adjustment of coal flow, significantly improving energy efficiency, reducing fuel costs, and providing a solid guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the unit.

[0029] In one embodiment of this utility model, the partition wall 2 is arranged along the running direction of the coal conveyor belt. The partition wall 2 includes a rigid beam with a pitch in the range of 1000mm to 1200mm and steel plates fixed on both sides of the rigid beam. The rigid beam can be made of HW250 steel of Q355B material, and the steel plate can be 10mm thick Q235B steel plate.
