Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soot blower technology, specifically a reciprocating steam cleaning soot blowing device. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, many pieces of equipment face the problem of ash accumulation during operation. Traditional soot blowing equipment has revealed many limitations in dealing with these ash accumulation problems. Early manual soot blowing methods were not only inefficient, requiring operators to be in close contact with the ash-accumulated areas, resulting in high labor intensity, but also difficult to guarantee cleaning effectiveness, easily leading to cleaning dead spots. With technological advancements, some simple automatic soot blowing equipment has begun to be used, but most of them use fixed-position jet spraying, which cannot flexibly adjust the jet direction and position. This makes it difficult to thoroughly and effectively remove ash accumulation when dealing with complex shapes and unevenly distributed ash inside equipment. For example, in the densely piped areas of boilers, fixed jet nozzles cannot cover every corner, and long-term ash accumulation not only reduces heat transfer efficiency and increases energy consumption, but may also cause equipment failure and shorten equipment lifespan.
[0003] In terms of mobility and ease of operation, traditional soot blowing equipment is mostly bulky and cumbersome, making it difficult to move. In confined workspaces or scenarios requiring frequent repositioning, traditional equipment is ineffective. Even when equipped with mobility devices, poor design hinders flexibility during movement and makes angle adjustments inconvenient, preventing rapid adaptation to different working environments. Furthermore, operating this equipment often requires specialized technicians, resulting in complex procedures that increase labor costs and the difficulty of using the equipment.
[0004] Against this backdrop, the development of a highly efficient, flexible, stable, and easy-to-operate reciprocating steam cleaning and soot blowing device is particularly urgent. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a reciprocating steam cleaning soot blowing device. By rotating the motor to drive the second gear, the first gear meshing with it is driven to rotate the rotating ring. At the same time, due to the guide hole seat restricting its rotation, the threaded jet pipe is made to generate reciprocating linear motion. Steam enters the jet pipe through the steam generator, steam hose and rotary sealing joint, and is sprayed out from the jet hole on the front side to blow away the accumulated ash, thus solving the above-mentioned problems. At the same time, the mounting plate bracket, support plate bracket and related moving wheels and supports facilitate the movement and adjustment of the equipment. The steam hose placement chamber organizes the hose. The diagonal brace and handle enhance stability and ease of operation.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A reciprocating steam cleaning soot blowing device includes a mounting plate and a support plate. The mounting plate has a fixed mounting hole seat and a guide mounting hole seat fixedly installed underneath it. The mounting plate serves as the basic support component of the entire device, used to securely install the soot blowing device at the target position. The fixed mounting hole seat mainly serves to fix and support the rotating ring, while the guide mounting hole seat provides a guiding path for the movement of the jet pipe, ensuring that the jet pipe can move in a predetermined direction. A rotating ring is rotatably installed within the central hole of the fixed mounting hole seat, and the rotating ring can rotate freely within the central hole. A first gear is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating ring, and the first gear can mesh with an external power source. When the external power source drives the meshing gear to rotate, the first gear rotates accordingly, thereby driving the rotating ring to rotate within the fixed mounting hole seat.
[0008] The rotating ring and guide hole seat are fitted into the jet pipe, which is a key component for steam output and ash removal. Both the inner circle of the rotating ring and the outer side of the jet pipe are threaded, and a guide groove is formed on the thread on the outer side of the jet pipe. The rotating ring and the jet pipe are connected by threads. When the rotating ring rotates under the drive of the first gear, due to the transmission characteristics of the threads, the rotation of the rotating ring is converted into linear motion of the jet pipe along the thread direction. The jet pipe is guided and slidably connected to the guide hole seat through the guide groove. The guide hole seat has a structure adapted to the guide groove of the jet pipe. Thus, when the jet pipe moves linearly under the drive of the rotating ring, it can only move along the direction defined by the guide hole seat, thereby achieving reciprocating linear motion and changing the position of the jet pipe's front end to facilitate ash removal operations at different locations.
[0009] A rotary motor is fixedly installed below the mounting plate, next to the fixing hole seat. A second gear is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the rotary motor, and the second gear meshes with the first gear. The rotary motor serves as a power source, providing initial power for the movement of the entire device. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, the second gear can rotate in different directions, thereby controlling the movement direction of the rotating ring and the jet pipe.
[0010] The front end of the jet pipe is sealed, and several jet holes are provided on the periphery of the front end. When the jet pipe reciprocates in a linear motion driven by the rotating ring and rotates itself, steam enters from the rear end of the jet pipe and is ejected through the jet holes on the periphery of the front end. Because the jet holes are distributed on the periphery of the front end, the ejected steam can form a changing spray area to blow away the surrounding dust.
[0011] A rotary sealing joint is installed at the tail end of the jet pipe, connecting to the outlet end of a steam hose. The inlet end of the steam hose is connected to the steam generator. The rotary sealing joint ensures that the connection between the steam hose and the jet pipe remains unaffected during reciprocating linear motion and rotation, while also preventing steam leakage. The high-temperature, high-pressure steam generated by the steam generator enters the jet pipe through the steam hose and the rotary sealing joint, providing power for soot blowing.
[0012] A mounting plate bracket is fixed to the outer front end of the mounting plate. The mounting plate bracket faces downward and is rotatably mounted on the bottom side with casters. The mounting plate bracket and the casters at its bottom allow the mounting plate and the entire device to move relatively easily in the horizontal direction, making it convenient to adjust the position of the device to adapt to different soot blowing scenarios.
[0013] A support plate bracket is fixed to the outer side of the middle section of the support plate. The support plate bracket faces upwards and is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the middle section of the mounting plate. A movable wheel is rotatably mounted on the front part of the outer side of the support plate, and a support is mounted at the bottom rear end of the support plate. The support plate bracket not only provides support for the support plate, but its rotatable connection with the mounting plate allows the support plate to rotate relative to the mounting plate at a certain angle, further increasing the adaptability of the equipment in different working environments. When the handle is pushed, because the support plate bracket is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the middle section of the mounting plate, the support at the bottom rear end of the support plate is raised. The entire structure rests on the ground together with the movable wheel rotatably mounted on the bottom side of the mounting plate bracket and the movable wheel rotatably mounted on the front part of the outer side of the support plate, facilitating pushing. When the handle is lowered, the support at the bottom rear end of the support plate rests on the ground, thus stabilizing the overall mechanism. The movable wheel on the outer side of the support plate and the support at the bottom rear end work together to maintain the stability of the equipment and facilitate operation when the equipment angle needs to be adjusted.
[0014] The upper part of the support plate is surrounded by a steam hose storage compartment. The steam hose storage compartment is used to store excess parts of the steam hose, preventing the steam hose from getting tangled or dragging on the ground during equipment operation, thus ensuring the steam hose is neat and orderly and also providing some protection for the steam hose.
[0015] The support plate and its bracket are reinforced by diagonal braces, and handles are fixedly installed on the diagonal braces. The diagonal braces enhance the structural stability between the support plate and its bracket, while the handles allow operators to easily push the equipment and adjust its position and angle, making operation more convenient.
[0016] When the equipment is working, the rotating motor serves as the power source. The second gear on its rotating shaft rotates, driving the first gear meshing with it, causing the rotating ring to rotate circumferentially within the fixed hole seat. Because the rotating ring is threadedly connected to the jet pipe, and because the guide hole seat restricts its rotation, the rotation of the rotating ring is converted into the reciprocating linear motion of the jet pipe, changing the position of the jet pipe's front end. Steam generated by the steam generator enters the jet pipe through the steam hose and rotary sealing joint, and is ejected from the jet holes on the front peripheral side to purge accumulated dust. The moving wheels on the mounting plate bracket and support plate, as well as the rear support, facilitate the movement and angle adjustment of the equipment. The steam hose storage compartment stores excess hose, and the diagonal braces and handles enhance stability and ease of operation.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] The unique reciprocating linear and rotary combined motion pattern of the jet pipe can cover a larger area in a short time. Compared with traditional soot blowing equipment with a single jet direction, the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved, the soot blowing operation time can be significantly shortened, and the work efficiency can be improved.
[0019] The forward and reverse rotation of the rotating motor can precisely control the movement direction of the jet pipe. Combined with the fine displacement adjustment achieved by the threaded drive, the operator can accurately control the jet position. For specific dust accumulation areas inside complex equipment, it can also achieve precise blowing and reduce blind spots in cleaning. This level of precision is difficult for many conventional soot blowing equipment to achieve.
[0020] The design of the mounting plate bracket and support plate bracket, along with the moving wheels and supports, allows the equipment to move easily on flat ground and adapt to different slopes or uneven working sites by adjusting the angle of the support plate. It can operate stably in various complex industrial environments, thus expanding the application range of the equipment.
[0021] Operators can easily move the equipment and adjust its angle by pushing it with the handle. With the simple control of the rotating motor, even less experienced workers can quickly get started, reducing labor training costs and improving the ease of use of the equipment.
[0022] The equipment has a mounting plate bracket with casters fixed to the outer front of the mounting plate. Casters are also provided on the outer front of the middle of the support plate. The support plate is connected to the mounting plate by a rotating bracket. The operator can easily change the position and angle of the equipment by pushing the handle on the diagonal brace, which makes it convenient to move flexibly in different places and quickly adjust to the best position for soot blowing.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.
[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a reciprocating steam cleaning soot blowing device includes a mounting plate 1 and a support plate 2. The mounting plate 1 is characterized in that a fixing hole seat 3 and a guide hole seat 31 are fixedly installed on the underside of the mounting plate 1. A rotating ring 4 is rotatably installed in the central hole of the fixing hole seat 3, and a first gear 41 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating ring 4.
[0030] The rotating ring 4 and the guide hole seat 31 are fitted together and inserted into the jet pipe 5. The inner circle of the rotating ring 4 and the outer side of the jet pipe 5 are both provided with threads, and a guide groove is opened on the thread on the outer side of the jet pipe 5. The rotating ring 4 and the jet pipe 5 are connected by threads, and the jet pipe 5 is guided and slidably connected to the guide hole seat 31 through the guide groove.
[0031] A rotating motor 6 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 2 next to the fixing hole seat 3. A second gear 61 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the rotating motor 6, and the second gear 61 meshes with the first gear 41.
[0032] The front end of the jet pipe 5 is sealed, and several jet holes are provided on the periphery of the front end.
[0033] The tail end of the jet pipe 5 is equipped with a rotary sealing joint 51, which is connected to the outlet end of the steam hose 52. The inlet end of the steam hose 52 is connected to the steam generator.
[0034] The mounting plate 1 is fixed to the outer side of the front end of the mounting plate 1. The mounting plate bracket 11 faces downward and is rotatably mounted on the bottom side with a movable wheel.
[0035] A support plate bracket 21 is fixed to the outer side of the middle part of the support plate 2. The support plate bracket 21 faces upward and is rotatably installed on the outer side of the middle part of the mounting plate 1. A movable wheel is rotatably installed at the front position of the outer middle part of the support plate 2, and a support is installed at the bottom of the rear end of the support plate 2.
[0036] The upper end of the support plate 2 is surrounded by a steam hose placement chamber 22.
[0037] The support plate 2 and the support plate bracket 21 are reinforced by diagonal bracing, and a handle 23 is fixedly installed on the diagonal bracing.
[0038] In practical applications, when using the reciprocating steam cleaning and soot blowing equipment, the equipment must first be transported to the soot blowing area. The operator pushes handle 23 to move the equipment to a suitable position below the area to be soot blown, adjusts the angle so that the front end of the jet pipe 5 is precisely aligned with the ash accumulation, turns on the rotary motor 6 and selects an appropriate speed according to the severity of the ash accumulation, then turns on the steam generator, allowing steam to enter the jet pipe 5 through the steam hose 52 and the rotary sealing joint 51, and spray out from the jet holes on the front side to blow away the ash accumulation. During the process, the position and angle of the equipment should be adjusted as needed. After the operation is completed, the steam generator and the rotary motor 6 are turned off, and a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the equipment is carried out. The temperature, noise, and vibration of the rotary motor 6 are checked, and the gear meshing, threaded connections, steam hose 52, rotary sealing joint 51, and other components are inspected. The steam hose storage chamber 22 is cleaned. Throughout the process, the rotating motor 6 serves as the power source, and its rotating shaft drives the second gear 61 to rotate. Through gear meshing, it drives the first gear 41, causing the rotating ring 4 to rotate circumferentially within the fixed hole seat 3. Simultaneously, due to the guide hole seat 31 restricting its rotation, it drives the threaded jet pipe 5 to perform reciprocating linear motion, changing the position of the jet pipe's front end to blow away accumulated dust. The steam generated by the steam generator enters the jet pipe 5 through the steam hose 52 and the rotary sealing joint 51, and is ejected from the front jet hole to blow away accumulated dust. When the handle 23 is pushed, because the support plate bracket 21 is rotatably installed on the outer side of the middle of the mounting plate 1, the support at the bottom rear end of the support plate 2 is raised. The entire structure rests on the ground together with the movable wheel rotatably installed on the bottom side of the mounting plate bracket 11 and the movable wheel rotatably installed on the front side of the outer middle of the support plate 2, facilitating pushing. When the handle 23 is lowered, the support at the bottom rear end of the support plate 2 rests on the ground, thus stabilizing the entire mechanism. The movable wheels on the outside of the support plate 2 and the support at the bottom of the rear end work together to maintain the stability of the equipment and facilitate operation when the equipment angle needs to be adjusted; the steam hose storage compartment 22 at the upper end of the support plate 2 stores the excess part of the steam hose 52 to prevent tangling and dragging on the ground, and ensures stable and safe steam delivery.
