Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flame detector technology, and in particular to a flame detector with a protective structure. Background Technology
[0002] A flame detector is a device used to detect the intensity of flames in a combustion chamber or burner. It plays a crucial role in industrial safety monitoring systems. The flame detector is a key piece of equipment in the boiler furnace safety monitoring system (FSSS), used to determine the establishment, extinction, or presence and absence of flames in the entire furnace or a single burner. When a complete furnace fire or a single burner fire occurs, the flame detection device accurately activates its contacts to issue an alarm. Relying on the FSSS system's interlocking function, it stops the operation of the corresponding pulverizer, coal mill, fuel oil main valve, or primary air fan, thereby preventing fuel accumulation in the furnace and the resulting catastrophic accident.
[0003] When existing flame detectors are installed and used in high-temperature boilers, the high-temperature environment inside the boiler causes the probe of the flame detector to be frequently affected by high temperatures. The high-temperature hot airflow can also affect the sensitive elements of the flame detector, causing the detector to lose sensitivity due to overheating and fail to accurately detect the presence of flames. Furthermore, high temperatures may also damage the electronic components inside the detector, thereby affecting the stability of the entire detector. To address this, we propose a flame detector with a protective structure. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a flame detector with a protective structure. An air protection mechanism is installed at the flame detector body and the mounting nut. This mechanism introduces airflow, which, guided by a guide plate, is blown through a vortex tube towards the area near the mounting nut. This prevents hot air from the boiler from approaching the flame detector body protected by the airflow, thus aiding in the cooling of the flame detector head and ensuring stable operation. Furthermore, the introduction of external gas by the air protection mechanism forms a protective layer on the flame detector body, effectively isolating it from direct damage by high-temperature flames or harmful gases. This effectively solves the problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A flame detector with a protective structure includes a flame detector body and a mounting nut. The mounting nut is fixed to the head of the flame detector body. The flame detector body also includes a gas protection mechanism, which includes a hollow ring, a side pipe, an air intake pipe, a swirl pipe, and a guide plate. The flame detector body behind the mounting nut is fitted with a hollow ring, and the side pipe is welded to the outside of the hollow ring. The air intake pipe is welded to the inner wall of the hollow ring. A threaded hole for inserting the air intake pipe is opened through the surface of the mounting nut. A swirl pipe is screwed into the other end of the threaded hole away from the air intake pipe. A guide plate is welded to the swirl pipe at an angle towards the opening of the air intake pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, the inner wall of the hollow ring is provided with a ring of through holes, and an air duct is inserted and welded into the through holes.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the hollow ring can be welded together after being inserted into the air intake tube through the connecting hole, ensuring that the air intake tube is firmly fixed at the hollow ring.
[0009] Furthermore, a ring interface is provided on the inner wall of the through hole, and a pipe interface is provided on the surface of the air duct outside the ring interface.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the through hole is connected to the pipe interface of the gas inlet pipe, which facilitates the gas to enter the gas inlet pipe from the hollow ring.
[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the air intake tube away from the hollow ring has a raised hoop, and the hoop is inserted into the rear end cavity of the threaded hole.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the air intake tube can be clamped into the threaded hole for connection.
[0013] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the hollow ring is interconnected with the cavity of the spiral tube, and the outer tube wall of the spiral tube away from the hollow ring is provided with a threaded outer tube wall.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, after the hollow ring and the spiral tube are interconnected, the spiral tube can obtain a gas source by connecting to an external gas supply equipment pipeline through a pipe body with a threaded outer wall.
[0015] Furthermore, the air guide plate is a semi-circular plate, and the semi-circular plate is inclinedly welded to the outside of the vortex tube opening.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the semi-circular plate of the air guide plate can guide the airflow to the central hole side of the mounting nut after welding at the swivel tube.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This utility model provides an air protection mechanism at the flame detector body and the mounting nut. The air protection mechanism can introduce airflow. The airflow at the air inlet pipe is guided by the air guide plate and blown to the area near the mounting nut through the vortex tube. This makes it difficult for the hot airflow in the boiler to approach the flame detector body with airflow protection, thus assisting in the cooling of the flame detector head and ensuring the stable operation of the flame detector body.
[0019] Furthermore, the gas protection mechanism can form a protective layer for the flame detector body after introducing external gas, effectively isolating the flame detector body from direct damage by high-temperature flames or harmful gases. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figure 1-4As shown, a flame detector with a protective structure includes a flame detector body 1 and a mounting nut 2. The flame detector body 1 is fixed with the mounting nut 2 at its head. It also includes a gas protection mechanism 3. The gas protection mechanism 3 includes a hollow ring 4, a side pipe 5, an air intake pipe 7, a swivel pipe 12, and a guide plate 13. The flame detector body 1 behind the mounting nut 2 is fitted with a hollow ring 4, and the side pipe 5 is welded to the outside of the tube of the hollow ring 4. The air intake pipe 7 is welded to the inner wall of the hollow ring 4. The mounting nut 2 has a threaded hole 11 through it for inserting the air intake pipe 7, and the swivel pipe 12 is screwed into the other end of the threaded hole 11 away from the air intake pipe 7. The guide plate 13 is welded to the swivel pipe 12 at an angle toward the opening of the air intake pipe 7.
[0027] Among them, the inner wall of the hollow ring 4 is provided with a ring of through holes 6, and an air duct 7 is inserted and welded into the through holes 6.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the hollow ring 4 can be welded together after the air inlet pipe 7 is inserted through the connecting hole 6, ensuring that the air inlet pipe 7 is firmly fixed at the hollow ring 4.
[0029] Among them, a ring interface 9 is provided at the inner wall of the through hole 6, and a pipe interface 8 is provided on the surface of the air duct 7 outside the ring interface 9.
[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the through hole 6 is interconnected with the ring interface 9 and the pipe interface 8 of the air intake pipe 7, which facilitates the gas to enter the air intake pipe 7 from the hollow ring 4.
[0031] Among them, the surface of the air intake pipe 7 away from the hollow ring 4 has a raised hoop 10, and the hoop 10 is inserted into the rear end cavity of the threaded hole 11.
[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the air intake tube 7 can be snapped into the threaded hole 11 by the hoop 10 for connection.
[0033] The inner cavity of the hollow ring 4 is connected to the cavity of the spiral tube 12, and the spiral tube 12 is provided with a threaded outer tube wall away from the outer tube wall of the hollow ring 4.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, after the hollow ring 4 and the spiral tube 12 are interconnected, the spiral tube 12 can obtain a gas source by connecting to the external gas supply equipment pipeline through the tube body with the threaded outer tube wall.
[0035] The air guide plate 13 is a semi-circular plate, and the semi-circular plate of the air guide plate 13 is inclinedly welded to the outside of the pipe opening of the vortex tube 12.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the semi-circular plate of the air guide plate 13 can guide the airflow to the middle hole side of the mounting nut 2 after welding at the swirl tube 12.
[0037] It should be noted that this utility model is a flame detector with a protective structure. A gas protection mechanism 3 is provided at the flame detector body 1 and the mounting nut 2. The hollow ring 4 of the gas protection mechanism 3 can be snapped onto the outer shell of the flame detector body 1. The air intake pipe 7 of the hollow ring 4 can then be inserted into the threaded hole 11 of the mounting nut 2. Simultaneously, the air intake pipe 7 can be secured in the threaded hole 11 with a clamp 10. Furthermore, a spiral pipe 12 with a guide vane 13 can be screwed into the other end of the threaded hole 11. The mounting nut 2 can also be installed at the boiler mounting location. With reference to the air outlet position of the spiral tube 12, when the flame detector body 1 is installed at the boiler for flame detection, the spiral tube 12 can obtain an air source by connecting the external air supply equipment pipeline through the tube body with the threaded outer tube wall. Then the airflow can enter the hollow ring 4 from the spiral tube 12 and enter the air intake pipe 7. Under the guidance of the air guide plate 13, the airflow at the air intake pipe 7 passes through the spiral tube 12 and blows towards the area near the mounting nut 2, so that the hot airflow in the boiler is not easy to approach the flame detector body 1 which has airflow protection, thus ensuring the stable operation of the flame detector body 1.
