Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of furnace cleaning technology, specifically relating to a robot specially designed for cleaning furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] The furnace is an important component of the boiler combustion system. Its interior is subjected to high temperature, high pressure and corrosive gases for a long time, which can easily lead to problems such as ash accumulation and coking. These impurities not only reduce the boiler's thermal efficiency, but may also cause furnace blockage, increased wear, and even safety accidents. Traditional manual cleaning methods have problems such as high labor intensity, harsh working environment and many safety hazards, which make it difficult to meet the requirements of modern industrial production for high efficiency, safety and environmental protection.
