Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cement production technology, and in particular relates to a high-efficiency vertical cylinder preheater for rotary kilns. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary kilns are common equipment in industries such as cement production, chemical metallurgy, and mineral sintering. They are mainly used to heat raw materials to high temperatures to complete the calcination process. In cement production, the rotary kiln plays a particularly important role, serving as one of the core pieces of equipment in the cement production line. To improve the energy efficiency of rotary kilns, reduce fuel consumption, and lower emissions, preheater systems are widely used in modern rotary kiln processes. In traditional cement production, materials need to be heated before entering the rotary kiln. The main task of the preheater is to utilize the heat from waste gas to preheat the raw materials. The heat in the waste gas is effectively recovered and used to heat the materials, reducing fuel demand, fuel consumption, and waste gas emissions, thereby helping to reduce environmental pollution.

[0003] However, some preheaters have relatively simple structures. When using high-speed exhaust gas flow to carry material powder into the preheating cylinder, they are often affected by pipeline resistance, which may cause the exhaust gas flow velocity to decrease step by step. This results in a slower upper airflow velocity, making it difficult to fully carry the material powder to complete the preheating effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency vertical cylinder preheater for rotary kilns. By setting up a drag-reducing mechanism, the first motor drives the downstream rotor to rotate at high speed, which drives the exhaust gas flow to maintain an upward flow velocity that carries the material powder. With the help of several drag-reducing threads to reduce the drag of the airflow and the spiral upward force, it is easy for the high-temperature exhaust gas to fully contact the material powder dispersed by the dispersion mechanism. This solves the problem that the exhaust gas flow velocity may decrease step by step due to the influence of pipeline resistance, making it difficult to fully carry the material powder.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is a high-efficiency vertical cylinder preheater for rotary kilns, including a preheating cylinder, on which a resistance-reducing mechanism and a dispersion mechanism are provided;

[0007] The drag reduction mechanism includes a drive assembly, a drag reduction assembly, and a connection assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the downstream impeller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the inner wall of the riser pipe is fixedly connected with several resistance-reducing threads.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the top of the dispersing cylinder, the end of the connecting pipe being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the preheating cylinder, and a flange ring being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rising pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the dispersing mechanism includes a feeding assembly and a flow assembly. The feeding assembly includes a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dispersing cylinder.

[0012] Furthermore, the preheating cylinder has a discharge port at its bottom end and a riser at its top end, and the top end of the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the discharge pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, the flow assembly includes a second motor fixedly connected to the front of the discharge pipe, a second rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe, the front end of the second rotating shaft being fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor, and a flow divider impeller fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] By setting up a drag-reducing mechanism, the high-speed rotation of the downstream rotor driven by the first motor is realized, which drives the exhaust gas flow to maintain an upward flow rate that carries the material powder. Combined with several drag-reducing threads to reduce the drag of the airflow and the upward spiral force, it is easy for the high-temperature exhaust gas to fully contact the material powder dispersed by the dispersion mechanism, ensuring the smooth operation of the device's staged preheating treatment and improving the practicality of the device.

[0016] 2. By setting up a dispersion mechanism, the second motor drives the flow divider impeller to rotate, and with the flow guide plate, the material powder is evenly and dispersedly conveyed into the dispersion cylinder. The drag reduction mechanism facilitates better entrainment of the material powder by the exhaust gas flow. While completing the preheating treatment, the material powder is conveyed into the preheating cylinder to collect and fall for the next stage of preheating treatment, which further improves the practicality of the device.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model is a high-efficiency vertical cylinder preheater for rotary kilns, including a preheating cylinder 1, on which a resistance-reducing mechanism 2 and a dispersion mechanism 3 are provided;

[0028] The drag reduction mechanism 2 includes a drive assembly, a drag reduction assembly, and a connection assembly. The drive assembly includes a dispersion cylinder 21 disposed on the left side of the preheating cylinder 1. A riser pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the dispersion cylinder 21. A first motor 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the riser pipe 22. A first rotating shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 23. A gear 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 24.

[0029] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the drag-reducing assembly includes a limiting groove 26 formed on the inner wall of the dispersion cylinder 21. A serrated ring 27 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 26. The serrated ring 27 meshes with a gear 25. A downstream rotating wheel 28 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the serrated ring 27. The outer wall of the downstream rotating wheel 28 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 26. Several drag-reducing threads 29 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the riser pipe 22. The connecting assembly includes a connecting pipe 210 fixedly connected to the top of the dispersion cylinder 21. The end of the connecting pipe 210 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the preheating cylinder 1. A flange ring 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the riser pipe 22.

[0030] By setting up the drag reduction mechanism 2, the first motor 23 drives the downstream rotor 28 to rotate at high speed, which drives the exhaust gas flow to maintain an upward climbing speed that carries the material powder. With the help of several drag reduction threads 29, the airflow drag is reduced and the spiral upward force is applied, which makes it easier for the high temperature exhaust gas to fully contact the material powder dispersed by the dispersion mechanism 3, ensuring the smooth operation of the device's step-by-step preheating treatment and improving the practicality of the device.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dispersing mechanism 3 includes a feeding assembly and a flow assembly. The feeding assembly includes a discharge pipe 31 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dispersing cylinder 21. Several guide plates 32 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 31. A feeding pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the discharge pipe 31. A feeding port 34 is opened at the bottom end of the preheating cylinder 1. An ascending port 35 is opened at the top end of the preheating cylinder 1. The top end of the first rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the discharge pipe 31. The flow assembly includes a second motor 36 fixedly connected to the front side of the discharge pipe 31. A second rotating shaft 37 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 31. The front end of the second rotating shaft 37 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 36. A diverter impeller 38 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 37.

[0032] By setting up the dispersion mechanism 3, the second motor 36 drives the flow divider impeller 38 to rotate, and with the flow guiding effect of the guide plate 32, the material powder is uniformly and dispersedly conveyed into the dispersion cylinder 21. With the drag reduction mechanism 2, the exhaust gas flow can better carry the material powder, and while completing the preheating treatment, it is conveyed into the preheating cylinder 1 to collect and fall for the next stage of preheating treatment, which further improves the practicality of the device.

[0033] A specific application of this embodiment is as follows: By setting a drag-reducing mechanism 2, several devices are stacked and connected in an alternating manner. The flange ring 211 is fixedly connected to the riser 35, and the top of the feed pipe 33 is connected to the feed port 34. At this time, the high-speed upward flow of exhaust gas enters the riser pipe 22 and flows along the drag-reducing thread 29 on the inner wall of the riser pipe 22, causing the exhaust gas to spiral upward. At this time, the first motor 23 drives the gear 25 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 24. Since the gear 25 meshes with the sawtooth ring 27, the rotation of the gear 25 drives the sawtooth ring 27 to rotate in the limiting groove 26. The sawtooth ring 27 then drives the downstream rotating wheel 28 to rotate in the dispersion cylinder 21. Following the spiral rotation direction of the airflow, the airflow is further driven to maintain a high-speed spiral ascent. In conjunction with the dispersion mechanism 3, the material powder is uniformly and dispersedly conveyed into the dispersion cylinder 21, flowing at high speed. The exhaust gas flow, carrying powder, enters the preheating cylinder 1 through the connecting pipe 210. Due to the high temperature of the exhaust gas flow itself, the material is preheated during the process of being carried by the high-temperature airflow in the dispersing cylinder 21, connecting pipe 210, and preheating cylinder 1. The exhaust gas flow continues to rise from the riser 35 and ascends from the riser pipe 22 of the next stage preheating device. The material powder, driven by the airflow, impacts the preheating cylinder 1, falls due to resistance, and collects from the discharge port 34 into the discharge pipe 33 of the next stage. This achieves the goal of using the first motor 23 to drive the downstream rotor 28 to rotate at high speed, driving the exhaust gas flow to maintain an upward flow rate carrying the material powder. Combined with several drag-reducing threads 29 to reduce the drag of the airflow and the upward spiral force, it is easy for the high-temperature exhaust gas to fully contact the material powder dispersed by the dispersing mechanism 3, ensuring the smooth operation of the step-by-step preheating process and improving the practicality of the device.

[0034] By setting up a dispersion mechanism 3, the second motor 36 drives the second rotating shaft 37 to rotate the diversion impeller 38, which rotates and evenly separates the material powder falling and accumulating in the feed pipe 33 and conveys it into several guide plates 32. The discharge pipe 31 is designed with a flat discharge port, and the material is diverted by several guide plates 32, so that when the material powder enters the inner wall of the dispersion cylinder 21, it is more easily subjected to the direct force of the rising airflow of the riser pipe 22. This facilitates the better entrainment of the material powder by the exhaust gas airflow and its conveyance into the preheating cylinder 1 for preheating contact. The diversion impeller 38 has several grooves on its blades to avoid... This system avoids the problem of large powder particles getting stuck in the gap between the distributor impeller 38 and the inner wall of the discharge pipe 31, which would affect the rotation of the distributor impeller 38. Instead, it utilizes the second motor 36 to drive the distributor impeller 38 to rotate, and with the guidance of the guide plate 32, the material powder is evenly and dispersedly conveyed into the dispersion cylinder 21. The drag reduction mechanism 2 facilitates better entrainment of the material powder by the exhaust gas flow, completing the preheating treatment while simultaneously conveying it into the preheating cylinder 1 for collection and falling, and then proceeding to the next stage of preheating treatment, further improving the practicality of the device.
