Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dredging and anti-clogging device, and more specifically, to a dredging and anti-clogging device for a material silo. This utility model also relates to a material silo employing this device. Background Technology

[0002] Material blockage in the silo can prevent normal material transport, thus affecting the safe operation of the entire system. Analysis reveals the following main causes of silo blockage:

[0003] 1) Excessive moisture content in materials: When the moisture content in materials is too high, adhesive bonds are easily formed between particles, increasing the cohesive force between particles and leading to blockage and arching.

[0004] 2) High ash content in materials: When ash in materials comes into contact with water, the viscosity increases and the fluidity decreases, making it easy for the material to stick to the walls and cause blockages in the silo.

[0005] 3) Uneven particle size distribution: When materials with uneven particle size are piled up in the silo, fine particles easily fill the gaps between large particles, forming a stable structure that hinders the flow of materials.

[0006] 4) If the material drop angle of the material bin is too small or the inner wall of the material bin is rough, it is easy for material to stick to the wall or become clogged inside the bin.

[0007] Currently, air cannons and vibratory beaters are commonly used for unblocking, but these devices all have their own defects and are not very effective at unblocking. Utility Model Content

[0008] The primary objective of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device that is compact in structure, easy to install and maintain, and has a good unblocking effect.

[0009] The latter objective of this invention is to provide a material silo employing the above-described device.

[0010] The preceding technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device includes a telescopic mechanism, a sleeve is provided at the front end of the telescopic mechanism, an air jet pipe is provided inside the sleeve and connected to the telescopic rod of the telescopic mechanism, the air jet pipe is directly or indirectly connected to an external compressed air source, and a wide-angle nozzle is connected to the free end of the air jet pipe.

[0011] The free end of the sleeve is connected to the external material silo. In the initial state, the wide-angle nozzle is located on the outside of the side wall of the external material silo. When it is necessary to clear blockages, the telescopic rod of the telescopic mechanism extends, driving the jet pipe and the wide-angle nozzle into the external material silo for circumferential and wide-angle blowing.

[0012] In the aforementioned material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device, the telescopic mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder, with a sleeve connected to the front end of the hydraulic cylinder body and a single-sided open jet pipe connected to the free end of the hydraulic rod piston rod.

[0013] In the aforementioned material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device, the sleeve sidewall is provided with a clearance elongated hole along the axial direction, and the connecting pipe of the external compressed air source and the jet pipe passes through the clearance elongated hole and is connected to the jet pipe.

[0014] In the aforementioned material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device, the clearance orifice is provided with limit switches that cooperate with the connecting pipeline on both sides along its length.

[0015] In the aforementioned material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device, a sensor is provided at one end of the clearance elongated hole near the telescopic mechanism, which is opposite to the jet pipe. The sensor is used to control the opening and closing of the external compressed air source.

[0016] In the aforementioned material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device, the free end of the sleeve is connected to a dynamic seal via a flange, and the free end of the dynamic seal is connected to the external material silo body; the dynamic seal is used to seal the outer wall of the jet pipe to prevent the material inside the material silo from being carried out when the jet pipe contracts.

[0017] In the aforementioned material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device, the dynamic sealing element includes an installation sleeve, the inner diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the jet pipe.

[0018] An annular limiting part adapted to the outer diameter of the jet pipe is provided at one end of the mounting sleeve along the axial direction. A sealing packing that matches the jet pipe is provided in the mounting sleeve along the axial direction. A pressure ring for pressing the sealing packing is provided at the other end of the mounting sleeve. The pressure ring is clamped and fixed to the sleeve by the mounting sleeve.

[0019] In the aforementioned material silo unblocking and anti-clogging device, the angle α between the outer edge of the wide-angle nozzle's purging range and the central axis of the jet pipe is 20-350°.

[0020] With the aforementioned structure, this invention uses a telescopic mechanism to drive the jet pipe and wide-angle nozzle into the material silo for circumferential and wide-angle blowing, effectively clearing blockages and preventing coal bridging and arching. Furthermore, this device boasts advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, and low maintenance costs, making it suitable for unblocking and preventing blockages in various material silos.

[0021] The latter technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: a material silo includes a silo body, and a plurality of the above-mentioned anti-blocking devices are distributed along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the silo body, and each anti-blocking device is inclined downward.

[0022] In the aforementioned material silo, a connecting seat is provided on the outer wall of the silo body, and the anti-blocking device is connected to the connecting seat via a flange.

[0023] With the above-mentioned structure, this utility model can effectively remove blockages and prevent coal bridging and arching by installing an anti-blocking device on the outer wall of the silo. When blockage occurs, the telescopic mechanism can drive the jet pipe and wide-angle nozzle to extend into the silo and blow at a large angle, thereby avoiding the occurrence of coal bridging and arching.

Of course, nozzles can also be installed according to actual needs.

[0032] The free end of the sleeve 2 is connected to the external material silo. In the initial state, the wide-angle nozzle 4 is located on the outside of the side wall of the external material silo. When it is necessary to clear blockages, the telescopic rod of the telescopic mechanism 1 extends, driving the jet pipe 3 and the wide-angle nozzle 4 into the external material silo for circumferential and wide-angle blowing.

The dynamic seal can prevent the internal material from being carried out of the storage chamber when the jet pipe contracts.

[0038] In this embodiment, the dynamic seal 8 includes a mounting sleeve 8a, the inner diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the jet pipe 3.
