Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of combustion furnace technology, and in particular to a novel ash removal device for biomass combustion furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] A biomass combustion furnace is a device that converts biomass fuels (such as agricultural waste, forestry residues, energy crops, etc.) into thermal energy. It is characterized by being renewable, low-carbon, and environmentally friendly. Biomass combustion furnaces play an important role in the renewable energy transition and are especially suitable for distributed energy scenarios. When using a biomass combustion furnace, an ash removal device is required to clean the furnace ash.
[0003] Existing ash removal devices typically use levers to vibrate and clean the grate. This method disrupts the original combustion layer, resulting in excessive ash buildup in the furnace, high levels of smoke and dust at the chimney outlet, and easy ash accumulation in the radiators. It also creates significant air resistance within the furnace, hindering combustion. Biomass pellets tend to coke, clogging the grate's air intake gaps, leading to incomplete combustion, low thermal energy conversion rates, and low heat exchange efficiency in the radiators. Under the same heat energy demand, biomass fuel pellet consumption is high, and the system remains in a high-feeding state. This high-feeding state easily causes grate blockage, requiring combustion to be stopped and manual intervention, increasing labor costs. Furthermore, this ash removal method generates significant environmental noise, and the high temperature within the furnace is conducted to the vibration motor, resulting in a high motor failure rate.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0026] Example 1:
[0027] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a novel biomass combustion furnace ash removal device, including a furnace body 1. A support frame 2 is fixed on the inner wall of the furnace body 1. Two sets of grates 3 are installed on the top of the support frame 2. The grates 3 are semi-circular in shape. An installation component 4 for installing the grates 3 is provided on the top of the support frame 2. A drive component 5 for vibrating and ash removing the grates 3 is provided inside the furnace body 1.
[0028] The furnace body 1 is a combustion furnace in the prior art, which is a device that converts biomass fuel into heat energy. It has the characteristics of being renewable, low-carbon and environmentally friendly, which will not be elaborated here. There is a gap between the two sets of grates 3, which is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom to facilitate subsequent air passage and ash leakage. The shape of the grates 3 is semi-circular. The two sets of grates 3 are combined into a circle to facilitate subsequent disassembly of the grates 3. The grates 3 are installed by the mounting component 4, and the grates 3 can rotate inside the mounting component 4, which improves the stability of the subsequent vibration and ash cleaning of the grates 3. The drive component 5 can vibrate and clean the grates 3, which facilitates natural air intake below the grates 3 and allows the biomass combustion particles to continue to burn. Moreover, this ash cleaning action does not produce ash in the furnace, greatly reducing the ash accumulation in the radiator and improving the heat exchange rate. Since the biomass particles burn completely, there is no obvious smoke or dust at the chimney outlet.
[0029] The mounting assembly 4 includes a mounting block 41 that snaps onto the outside of the grate 3. Both sides of the mounting block 41 are fixed with connecting rods 42, and one end of the connecting rods 42 is rotatably connected to a mounting bracket 43.
[0030] The inner wall of the mounting block 41 is engaged with the outer side of the grate 3, and the mounting frame 43 is fixed to the top of the support frame 2. When the grate 3 vibrates, it will drive the mounting block 41 and the connecting rod 42 to rotate, so that the connecting rod 42 rotates on the inner wall of the mounting frame 43, thereby improving the stability of the grate 3.
[0031] The drive assembly 5 includes a drive motor 51 installed on the outside of the furnace body 1. A drive rod 52 is installed at the output end of the drive motor 51. A cam 53 is fixed on the outside of the drive rod 52 to drive the grate 3 to vibrate and clean the ash.
[0032] The outer side of the drive rod 52 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the furnace body 1, and the drive motor 51 drives the drive rod 52 and the cam 53 to rotate, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, when the cam 53 rotates to the high position, it will drive the two sets of grates 3 to rotate. Through the repeated rotation of the cam 53, the grates 3 will vibrate and clean the ash, achieving the effect of only dropping ash and not material, so that the fuel can burn completely.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0035] Specifically, an installation groove 6 is provided on the outer side of the grate 3, and a limiting plate 7 is fixed on the inner wall of the mounting block 41. The outer side of the limiting plate 7 is engaged with the inner wall of the installation groove 6.
[0036] By inserting the grate 3 into the mounting block 41, the limiting plate 7 is engaged with the mounting groove 6, thereby achieving the effect of installing the grate 3. The grate 3 will not detach from the mounting block 41 during vibration cleaning. Furthermore, the grate 3 can be quickly disassembled and cleaned by pulling it out of the mounting block 41.
[0037] Specifically, a mounting bracket 8 is fixed to the outside of the furnace body 1, and a coupling 9 is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 51.
[0038] The drive motor 51 is horizontally mounted on one side of the fixed frame 8, and the drive rod 52 is fixed to one end of the coupling 9. The drive motor 51 can drive the coupling 9 and the drive rod 52 to rotate.
[0039] Specifically, a partition 11 is fixed to the top of the support frame 2, and a limit sleeve 10 is fixed to the inner wall of the partition 11.
[0040] The baffle 11 can prevent the fuel from falling and scattering, and the limiting sleeve 10 can limit the grate 3.
[0041] Example 3:
[0042] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0043] Specifically, a feed pipe 12 is provided on the outside of the furnace body 1, a hopper 13 is provided on the top of the feed pipe 12, and an air outlet 14 is provided on the top of the furnace body 1.
[0044] Fuel can be automatically delivered into the furnace body 1 through the hopper 13 and the spiral feed pipe 12.
[0045] Specifically, an inspection port 15 for disassembling the grate 3 is provided on the outer side of the furnace body 1, and an inspection door 16 is provided on one side of the inspection port 15.
[0046] The grate 3 can be easily removed through the inspection port 15. The grate 3 adopts a two-piece structure, which makes it easy to remove the grate 3 from the inspection port 15. If a single piece of grate 3 is used, the size will be too large and it will be inconvenient to remove. If the size of the inspection port 15 is increased, it will not be conducive to the combustion effect in the furnace.
[0047] Specifically, a sealing gasket 17 to improve the sealing of the furnace body 1 is fixed on one side of the inspection port 15, a limit frame 18 is rotatably connected to the top of the inspection port 15, a limit block 19 is fixed on one side of the inspection door 16, the outer side of the limit block 19 is engaged with the inner wall of the limit frame 18, and a pull ring 20 is fixed on the top of the grate 3.
[0048] The sealing gasket 17 improves the sealing performance of the furnace body 1. The rotating limit frame 18 engages with the limit block 19 to limit the maintenance door 16. The pull ring 20 facilitates the subsequent removal of the grate 3 from the furnace body 1.
[0049] In use, the grate 3 is secured inside the mounting block 41, causing the limiting plate 7 to engage inside the mounting groove 6, thus achieving the installation effect of the grate 3. The grate 3 will not detach from the mounting block 41 during vibration cleaning. Furthermore, the grate 3 can be quickly disassembled and cleaned by subsequently pulling it out of the mounting block 41. When the grate 3 vibrates, it drives the mounting block 41 and connecting rod 42 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 42 to rotate on the inner wall of the mounting frame 43, improving the stability of the grate 3. The drive motor 51 can drive the coupling 9 and drive rod 52 to rotate. Figure 3 As shown, when the cam 53 rotates to the high position, it will drive the two sets of grates 3 to rotate. Through the repeated rotation of the cam 53, the grates 3 will vibrate and clean the ash. The gap of the grates 3 is designed as a trapezoidal structure that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, so as to achieve the effect of only ash falling and not material falling, so that the fuel can burn completely. The cam 53 maintains a reasonable stroke and achieves a good ash cleaning effect without damaging the existing combustion layer. It is convenient for natural air intake below the grates 3 to allow the biomass combustion particles to burn continuously. Moreover, this ash cleaning action will not produce ash in the furnace, greatly reducing the ash accumulation in the radiator. There is no obvious smoke and dust at the chimney outlet. The shape of the grates 3 is semi-circular. The two sets of grates 3 form a circle. The grates 3 adopt a two-piece structure, which makes it easy to remove the grates 3 from the inspection port 15. If a whole piece of grates 3 structure is used, the size will be too large and inconvenient to remove. If the size of the inspection port 15 is increased, it will not be conducive to the combustion effect in the furnace.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
