Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flue gas purification technology, and in particular relates to a ceramic fiber filter tube sealing structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of flue gas purification technology in power plants, chemical plants, and metallurgical industries, integrated dust removal and denitrification technology using ceramic fiber tubes is widely used due to its superior dust removal and denitrification effects and long service life. As a key component in integrated dust removal and denitrification equipment, the performance of ceramic fiber filter tubes directly affects the purification effect of flue gas emissions and the effectiveness of environmental protection.
[0003] When installing traditional ceramic fiber filter tubes, a soft pad is first laid on the annular contact surface above the holes (mounting holes) of the tube sheet. Then, the filter tube is inserted into the holes of the tube sheet, so that the lower surface of the filter tube flange is in contact with the upper surface of the soft pad. Finally, a metal cover plate is placed on top of the filter tube flange, and multiple bolts (usually 8-12 per tube) are passed through the reserved holes in the cover plate and connected to the nuts or threaded holes below the tube sheet to lock the cover plate. The cover plate is used to compress the soft pad, thereby sealing the gap between the tube sheet and the filter tube flange.
[0004] This traditional ceramic fiber filter tube sealing structure and installation method involves many installation steps, is complex to operate, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, it is prone to problems such as unevenness of the tube sheet and cover plate, or uneven thickness of the ceramic tube flange, which can lead to insufficient sealing of the cover plate and leakage of dusty flue gas during operation. At the same time, the tube sheet only supports the filter tube flange through its top surface, which makes the filter tube prone to swinging during operation. This causes fatigue stress in the neck of the filter tube flange, which can then lead to breakage and affect the safe and stable operation of the denitrification and dust removal equipment.

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to propose a ceramic fiber filter tube sealing structure that can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A ceramic fiber filter tube sealing structure includes a perforated plate and a ceramic fiber filter tube;
[0008] The flower plate has a flower plate hole, and a first annular protrusion is fixed on the top of the flower plate along the flower plate hole. The top of the first annular protrusion has a labyrinth seal lower mating part.
[0009] The bottom of the flange of the ceramic fiber filter tube is provided with a first annular groove, and the inner top of the first annular groove has a labyrinth seal upper mating part.
[0010] After the ceramic fiber filter tube is inserted into the hole of the perforated plate, the first annular groove is sleeved on the first annular protrusion, and the lower mating part of the labyrinth seal and the upper mating part of the labyrinth seal together form a labyrinth seal structure.
[0011] Preferably, the lower mating part of the labyrinth seal is a plurality of second annular protrusions, and the upper mating part of the labyrinth seal is a plurality of second annular grooves, wherein the plurality of second annular protrusions are respectively inserted into the corresponding plurality of second annular grooves to form a labyrinth seal structure.

[0017] 2. After the ceramic fiber filter tube of this utility model is installed, the lower mating part of the labyrinth seal and the upper mating part of the labyrinth seal together form a labyrinth seal structure.

[0026] Example
[0027] Reference Figure 1 A ceramic fiber filter tube sealing structure includes a perforated plate 1 and a ceramic fiber filter tube 2.
[0028] The flower plate 1 has a flower plate hole, and a first annular protrusion 11 is fixed on the top of the flower plate 1 along the flower plate hole. The top of the first annular protrusion 11 has a labyrinth seal lower mating part 12.
[0029] The bottom of the flange 21 of the ceramic fiber filter tube 2 is provided with a first annular groove 22, and the inner top of the first annular groove 22 has a labyrinth seal upper mating part 23.
[0030] After the ceramic fiber filter tube 2 is inserted into the hole of the tube sheet, the first annular groove 22 is fitted onto the first annular protrusion 11, and the lower mating part 12 of the labyrinth seal and the upper mating part 23 of the labyrinth seal together form a labyrinth seal structure.
[0031] After the ceramic fiber filter tube 2 of this utility model is installed, the first annular groove 22 is fitted on the first annular protrusion 11. The first annular protrusion 11 can increase the support and limit of the ceramic fiber filter tube 2 by the tube plate 1, reduce the swing of the filter tube during operation, and effectively prevent the filter tube flange neck from breaking, which would affect the safe and stable operation of the denitrification and dust removal equipment.
[0032] Labyrinth seals, as an effective sealing method, are widely used in many industrial fields. They utilize a complex channel structure to cause fluid to change direction multiple times during passage, thereby increasing flow resistance and achieving a highly efficient seal. In this invention, after the ceramic fiber filter tube 2 is installed, the lower mating part 12 and the upper mating part 23 of the labyrinth seal together form a labyrinth seal structure. This achieves a highly efficient seal under the weight of the ceramic fiber filter tube 2 alone, effectively preventing leakage of dust-laden fumes. Furthermore, the installation process is simple and convenient, saving time and effort.
[0033] Of course, if you want to achieve the best sealing effect, you can also install a cover plate on the top of the filter tube flange 21 for tightening.
[0034] The structure of a maze seal can take many forms. In a specific implementation plan, refer to... Figure 2 A specific labyrinth seal structure is provided, wherein the lower mating part 12 of the labyrinth seal consists of a plurality of second annular protrusions, and the upper mating part 23 of the labyrinth seal consists of a plurality of second annular grooves. The plurality of second annular protrusions are respectively inserted into the corresponding plurality of second annular grooves, and the gap between the second annular protrusions and the second annular grooves forms a tortuous flow channel, thereby forming a labyrinth seal structure. In this embodiment, there are three second annular protrusions and three second annular grooves.
[0035] In one specific implementation, the cross-section of the second annular protrusion and the second annular groove is rectangular, which minimizes the gap between the second annular protrusion and the second annular groove, further ensuring the sealing effect.
[0036] In a specific implementation plan, refer to Figure 3 The surface of the first annular protrusion 11 is fixed with a ceramic fiber pad 3, and the sealing effect can be further improved by setting the ceramic fiber pad 3.
[0037] In one specific implementation, the ceramic fiber pad 3 is an aluminum silicate pad.
[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
