Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rotary kiln sealing technology, and particularly relates to a sealing device for the kiln head of a lime rotary kiln. Background Technology

[0002] A rotary kiln is a high-temperature calcining furnace that uses the rotation of the kiln body. Based on the type of raw material being calcined, it is mainly divided into cement rotary kilns, lime rotary kilns, and metallurgical and chemical rotary kilns. The calcination process in a rotary kiln mainly involves gas flow, fuel combustion, heat transfer, and material tumbling. Through a reasonable ratio of fuel and air, complete combustion is achieved. Heat is directly and efficiently transferred to the material through fuel, which undergoes specific solid-phase chemical reactions at high temperatures, ultimately calcining into finished clinker. During normal operation of a rotary kiln, ash emission is not very noticeable because the kiln head is under negative pressure. However, if operational problems occur, ash leakage from the kiln head will be very serious.

[0003] Existing rotary kiln head seals have the following defects: most adopt built-in or external fish scale sealing structures, and when the kiln body is subjected to upward force, a squeezing force will be generated, causing the fish scales to bulge up, allowing cold air to enter the kiln head cover, resulting in incomplete fuel combustion and wasting energy. Therefore, the effectiveness of the rotary kiln head seal plays a decisive role in the stable operation of the kiln and the calcination process.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent application number 202221615116.2 discloses a rotary kiln sealing device, including a kiln head hood and a kiln body. A sealing mechanism is provided between the kiln head hood and the kiln body. The sealing mechanism includes a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the feed end of the kiln head hood, with an installation ring fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting pipe. A sealing ring is detachably installed on the other end of the installation ring. In this rotary kiln sealing device, during the rotation of the kiln body, each rotor rotates on the side wall of the flange, continuously rotating and pressing the contact surface between the flange and the sealing ring, ensuring that the end face of the flange is always tightly fitted with the sealing ring. However, because the kiln head of the rotary kiln rotates continuously, and there is also the possibility of deformation of the sealing ring under high temperatures, this type of sealing ring-based technical solution cannot achieve long-term safe operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealing device for the kiln head of a lime rotary kiln, which overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology. It adopts a labyrinth sealing structure combined with a dust collection box to solve the environmental problem of serious dust emission from the kiln head and difficulty in dust discharge after the rotary kiln reaches full production capacity. It meets the stable sealing requirements at the kiln head, ensures long-term stable operation of production, and reduces the labor intensity of on-site cleaning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0007] A sealing device for the kiln head of a lime rotary kiln includes a kiln head hood, a dust collection box between the kiln head hood and the kiln head, one end of the dust collection box being connected to the outer wall of the kiln head via a first fixing ring, and the other end of the kiln head hood being connected to the dust collection box via a second fixing ring, with a labyrinth sealing ring between the second fixing ring and the kiln head; the dust collection box includes a dust removal hood in the upper part and an ash hopper in the lower part, the dust removal hood being composed of a steel cage, a wire mesh, and a high-temperature dust removal covering cloth; and a slide valve is provided at the bottom of the ash hopper.

[0008] Furthermore, the labyrinth sealing ring includes a first vertical plate, a second vertical plate, and a middle partition cover plate. The first and second vertical plates are connected side by side and perpendicularly to the outer wall of the kiln head. The middle partition cover plate has an L-shaped cross-section and an inner reinforcing plate with a T-shaped cross-section is provided on the inner side of the cover plate. One side of the middle partition cover plate is fixedly connected to the first fixing ring. The first vertical plate, the inner reinforcing plate, the second vertical plate, and the other side of the middle partition cover plate form a labyrinth sealing structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the second fixing ring is connected to the fixing bracket, and the bottom of the fixing bracket is fixedly installed with a first fixing column and a second fixing column, which are fixedly erected on the kiln body foundation.

[0010] Furthermore, the wire mesh has square or parallelogram-shaped holes with a side length of 10-25mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the high-temperature dust removal cloth is a fluorinated fluorinated cloth with a thickness of 2.4-2.6 mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the high-temperature dust removal cloth and the wire mesh are fixed together by steel straps.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the fixed bracket is provided with multiple reinforcing rods.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1) The combination of labyrinth sealing structure and dust collection box solves the problem of serious dust emission from the kiln head and difficulty in dust discharge after the rotary kiln reaches full production capacity, meets the stable sealing requirements at the kiln head, and ensures long-term stable production operation;

[0016] 2) High-temperature resistant dustproof cloth can ensure the air permeability of the kiln head, which helps to overcome the impact of pressure fluctuations in the kiln on the sealing effect of the kiln head. Dust hoods and ash hoppers can capture and hold dust, reducing the labor intensity of on-site cleaning. Attached Figure Description
