Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ignition equipment for circulating fluidized bed boilers, specifically to a flameout protection device for oil guns during the start-up process of a circulating fluidized bed boiler. Background Technology

[0002] Circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boilers represent the most industrialized clean coal combustion technology. Employing fluidized bed combustion, the main structure comprises two parts: the combustion chamber and the recirculating furnace. The combustion chamber includes dense and dilute phase zones, while the recirculating furnace includes a high-temperature gas-solid separator and a return system. The biggest difference between CFB boiler combustion technology and bubbling fluidized bed combustion technology is the higher operating velocity, which enhances heterogeneous reaction processes such as combustion and desulfurization. This allows for the expansion of boiler capacity to large levels acceptable to the power industry, such as 600MW or higher. Currently, CFB boilers have effectively solved fundamental problems related to thermodynamics, mechanics, and materials science, as well as engineering issues such as expansion, wear, and overheating, making them an advanced technology for the energy utilization of difficult-to-burn solid fuels such as coal gangue, oil shale, municipal waste, sludge, and other waste materials.

[0003] In the startup process of a circulating fluidized bed boiler, the oil gun plays a crucial role, providing initial heat to heat the bed material and establish stable combustion conditions. However, in actual startup operations, the oil gun may unexpectedly shut down for various reasons, such as unstable fuel supply, poor oil gun atomization, imbalanced airflow ratio, abnormal furnace pressure, and oil gun malfunction. If the oil gun shuts down and is not detected and addressed promptly, it can lead to equipment damage and energy waste. Continued fuel injection will accumulate in the furnace, and when it reaches a certain concentration, under suitable conditions, it may trigger a deflagration or other serious safety accidents, posing a significant threat to boiler equipment and personnel safety. Therefore, for circulating fluidized bed boiler operators, timely detection and handling of oil gun shutdown issues is of paramount importance.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a flameout protection device for oil guns during the start-up process of a circulating fluidized bed boiler. This device aims to prevent equipment damage caused by the inability to promptly detect and address accidental flameouts of oil guns, thereby avoiding serious safety accidents such as furnace deflagration. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flameout protection device for oil guns during the start-up process of a circulating fluidized bed boiler, so as to solve the problem that equipment damage may occur due to the inability to detect and deal with the accidental flameout of the oil gun in time.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a flameout protection device for oil guns during the start-up process of a circulating fluidized bed boiler, comprising a combustion chamber and a PLC controller. An oil supply pipe is connected to the bottom of the combustion chamber, an oil gun is provided at one end of the oil supply pipe, a shut-off valve is provided on the oil supply pipe, an observation hole is provided on the side wall of the combustion chamber, and heat-insulating glass is provided on the observation hole. A bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the combustion chamber on the side with the observation hole, and a plurality of flame sensors are provided on the bracket. Each flame sensor is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0007] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: when the oil gun is burning, the flame sensor monitors the flame radiation signal of the oil gun in real time and transmits the monitored data to the PLC controller. When the flame sensor detects that the oil gun is extinguished, the on-site personnel quickly shut off the shut-off valve, and then inspect and deal with the oil gun. After the fault is eliminated, the oil gun is restarted.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting flame sensors around the oil gun in all directions without blind spots, this utility model can realize real-time monitoring of the flame radiation signal of the oil gun. This design enables the staff to obtain the flame radiation signal of the oil gun in real time, and can promptly detect and deal with the situation when the oil gun goes out, effectively avoiding serious safety accidents such as furnace deflagration.

[0009] Option 2, which is a preferred option of the basic option, is a solenoid valve that is electrically connected to a PLC controller. The PLC controller can remotely control the opening and closing of the shut-off valve, which is convenient for operators. When the fuel nozzle is turned off, the fuel supply can be quickly cut off through the PLC controller to prevent fuel from continuing to be injected into the combustion chamber.

[0010] Option 3, a preferred option of the basic scheme, includes an ultraviolet flame sensor and an infrared flame sensor, both of which are electrically connected to the PLC controller. The ultraviolet flame sensor has high sensitivity to the ultraviolet radiation generated when the oil gun is burning, and can quickly detect the presence of a flame. The infrared flame sensor can monitor the infrared radiation of the flame, which can effectively compensate for the blind spots of the ultraviolet flame sensor in some cases, thereby ensuring that the radiation signal of the oil gun flame can be monitored in all directions without blind spots.

[0011] Option 4, a preferred option of the basic option, is provided with a hydraulic valve on the fuel supply pipe, which is electrically connected to the PLC controller; when the shut-off valve is closed, the PLC controller closes the hydraulic valve to lock the fuel supply pipe a second time, further improving the reliability of fuel cut-off.

[0012] Option 5, which is a preferred option of the basic option, is that the PLC controller is connected to an audible and visual alarm; when the oil gun is malfunctioning, the audible and visual alarm will flash frequently and emit a sharp alarm sound, which can attract the attention of the staff and allow them to take appropriate measures in a timely manner.

[0013] Option 6, a preferred option of the basic option, involves maintaining a 100mm distance between the ultraviolet flame sensor and the infrared flame sensor and the observation hole. This distance effectively prevents overheating and damage to the ultraviolet flame sensor and the infrared flame sensor. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: When the oil gun 3 is burning, the ultraviolet flame sensor 8 and the infrared flame sensor 9 monitor the flame radiation signal of the oil gun 3 in real time and transmit the monitored data to the PLC controller. The PLC controller analyzes the transmitted data. When the ultraviolet flame sensor 8 and the infrared flame sensor 9 detect that the oil gun 3 is extinguished, the PLC controller quickly closes the shut-off valve 4 and the hydraulic valve 10.

After the fault is eliminated, the oil gun 3 can be restarted.
