[0021] The technical solution provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0022] The flue gas sampling filter and sampling device of this invention allow flue gas to enter the inner filter cartridge through the gas collecting pipe, with some of the flue gas passing through the inner filter cartridge. After being filtered for dust by the inner filter cartridge, the flue gas enters the second chamber and then enters the sampling probe through the sampling tube.

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the purpose of simplifying the description of this utility model.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a flue gas sampling filter according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the flue gas sampling filter includes an inner filter cylinder 1, an outer cylinder 2, a first end cap 3, a second end cap 4, a gas collecting pipe 5, and a sampling pipe 6. The inner filter cylinder 1 has a first cavity extending through it, and filter holes are circumferentially extending through it. The outer cylinder 2 is fitted over the inner filter cylinder 1. The first end cap 3 seals the gap between the first ends of the inner filter cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2, and the second end cap 4 seals the gap between the second ends of the inner filter cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2. A second cavity is formed between the outer cylinder 2, the inner filter cylinder 1, the first end cap 3, and the second end cap 4. A backflush ash discharge port 7 is extending through the first end cap 3, the second end cap 4, or the outer cylinder 2, and a check valve is installed inside the backflush ash discharge port 7. The gas collecting pipe 5 is connected to the first end of the inner filter cylinder 1, and the cross-sectional area of the gas collecting pipe 5 gradually increases in the direction away from the inner filter cylinder 1. The sampling pipe 6 extends through the outer cylinder 2 and is connected to the second cavity.
[0029] In use, the sampling tube 6 is connected to the sampling probe 8 used to detect the gas composition and content. The entire flue gas sampling filter is placed in the flue, and the gas collecting pipe 5 is oriented towards the source of the flue gas. The flue gas enters the gas collecting pipe 5. Due to the structure of the gas collecting pipe 5, the cross-sectional area gradually decreases in the direction away from the source of the flue gas, which increases the flue gas flow rate, prevents dust from depositing on the surface of the gas collecting pipe 5, and allows the flue gas to quickly enter the inner filter cartridge 1. After entering the inner filter cartridge 1, part of the flue gas is discharged directly from the other end of the inner filter cartridge 1, and part of it passes through the circumference of the inner filter cartridge 1. After the dust is filtered by the inner filter cartridge 1, the relatively clean flue gas enters the second cavity between the inner filter cartridge 1 and the outer cylinder 2, and further enters the sampling tube 6 which is connected to the second cavity. Finally, it enters the sampling probe 8 which is connected to the sampling tube 6. The sampling probe 8 then detects and analyzes the relatively clean flue gas after the dust filtration. After a period of use, the dust adhering to the inner filter cartridge 1 increases. In order to prevent the dust from clogging the filter holes on the inner filter cartridge 1, high-pressure gas is delivered to the second chamber through the back-blowing ash discharge port 7. The high-pressure gas blows towards the outer wall of the inner filter cartridge 1, blowing off the dust adhering to the flue gas on the inner filter cartridge 1 and causing it to fall into the inner filter cartridge 1. The dust is then discharged through the other end along with the flue gas entering the inner filter cartridge 1.
[0030] The flue gas sampling filter of this utility model allows flue gas to enter the inner filter cartridge 1 through the gas collecting pipe 5, and part of the flue gas passes through the inner filter cartridge 1. After being filtered for dust by the inner filter cartridge 1, the flue gas enters the second chamber and then enters the sampling probe 8 through the sampling pipe 6. That is, before the flue gas enters the sampling probe 8, the dust in the flue gas has been filtered by the inner filter cartridge 1, thereby avoiding direct contact between the sampling probe 8 and the dusty flue gas, preventing the sampling probe 8 from being blocked by dust, and helping to extend the service life of the sampling probe 8.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner filter cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 are coaxially fitted hollow cylinders. The inner diameter of the inner filter cylinder 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer cylinder 2, and a certain gap is maintained between them. The inner filter cylinder 1 has filter holes uniformly opened throughout its circumference. The first end cap 3 and the second end cap 4 are both annular structures. The first end cap 3 is used for sealing. Figure 1 The gap between the outer cylinder 2 and the upper end of the inner filter cylinder 1 is sealed by the second end cap 4. Figure 1The gap between the outer cylinder 2 and the lower end of the inner filter cylinder 1 prevents the flue gas in the flue from directly entering the space between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner filter cylinder 1. The gas collecting pipe 5 is generally conical, with the angle between the hypotenuse of its cross-section and the horizontal plane set at 40°-60°. The end with the smaller cross-sectional area is connected to the upper end of the inner filter cylinder 1, so that the flue gas entering the gas collecting pipe 5 is compressed and accelerated by the conical structure and enters the first cavity of the inner filter cylinder 1. The sampling pipe 6 is a hollow cylindrical pipe that passes through the outer cylinder 2 and extends into the second cavity between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner filter cylinder 1. It is used to transport the flue gas after dust filtration to the sampling probe 8. In this embodiment, the backflush ash discharge port 7 is opened on the second end cap 4 away from the gas collecting pipe 5, and a check valve is installed in the backflush ash discharge port 7, so that high-pressure gas can be transported to the second cavity through the backflush ash discharge port 7, while the flue gas in the second cavity cannot be discharged through the backflush ash discharge port 7. Depending on the actual application, the backflushing ash discharge port 7 can also be opened on the first end cover 3 and the outer cylinder 2. Multiple backflushing ash discharge ports 7 can also be set. The dimensions of the inner filter cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2 can be matched and adjusted. The inclination angle and extension length of the inclined side of the gas collecting pipe 5 can also be adjusted. Depending on the different conditions of filtering flue gas, the size and opening density of the filter holes opened through the inner filter cylinder 1 can be appropriately adjusted.
[0032] Optionally, the flue gas sampling filter also includes a compressed air source (not shown), which is connected to the backflushing ash discharge port 7 via an air supply pipe, and an electrically controlled valve is installed on the air supply pipe. The compressed air source facilitates the supply of high-pressure gas to the second chamber at any time to purge the inner filter cartridge 1 and prevent dust adhering to the inner filter cartridge 1 from clogging the filter holes.
[0033] After the flue gas sampling filter has been used for a period of time, dust will be attached to the inner filter cartridge 1. When the electric control valve is opened, the compressed air source will be delivered to the second chamber through the air supply pipe and blow off the dust on the inner filter cartridge 1. The compressed air source can be any stable air source, such as air or nitrogen. The timing of opening the electric control valve can be determined according to the dust concentration in the flue gas and working experience, or the opening time interval can be fixed.
[0034] Optionally, the flue gas sampling filter also includes a differential pressure sensor (not shown) and a controller (not shown). The first probe of the differential pressure sensor is disposed in the first chamber, and the second probe of the differential pressure sensor is disposed in the second chamber. The input terminal of the controller is communicatively connected to the output terminal of the differential pressure sensor, and the output terminal of the controller is communicatively connected to the control terminal of the electronically controlled valve. This configuration allows for real-time determination of whether the inner filter cartridge 1 is clogged based on the monitoring data from the differential pressure sensor, and timely control of the electronically controlled valve to open, introducing high-pressure gas to purge the dust adhering to the inner filter cartridge 1.
[0035] The first probe of the differential pressure sensor monitors the first pressure value of the flue gas in the first chamber, and the second probe monitors the second pressure value of the flue gas after dust filtration in the second chamber. The real-time differential pressure value is obtained based on the first and second pressure values and transmitted to the controller. When the second pressure value is significantly lower than the first pressure value, it indicates that the amount of flue gas entering the second chamber through the first chamber is too small, meaning the filter holes on the inner filter cartridge 1 are blocked by dust, preventing the flue gas from smoothly entering the second chamber. The controller has a pre-stored set differential pressure value indicating blockage of the inner filter cartridge 1. The controller receives the real-time differential pressure value transmitted by the differential pressure sensor and compares it with the set differential pressure value. When the real-time differential pressure value is greater than the set differential pressure value, it indicates that the filter cartridge is blocked by dust. At this time, the controller controls the electronic control valve to open, and compressed air is delivered to the second chamber through the air supply pipe to blow away the dust on the inner filter cartridge 1, causing the dust to fall into the first chamber and be discharged with the flue gas through the end of the inner filter cartridge 1 away from the gas collecting pipe 5. Differential pressure sensors are a mature existing technology, and their specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.
[0036] Optionally, the flue gas sampling filter also includes an alarm (not shown), the input of which is communicatively connected to the output of the controller. The alarm is set so that when the controller receives a real-time differential pressure value from the differential pressure sensor that exceeds a set differential pressure value, indicating that the inner filter cartridge 1 is clogged with dust, the controller activates the alarm to alert personnel that the inner filter cartridge 1 is clogged. The alarm is located outside the flue and can be either a voice alarm or a light alarm.
[0037] Optionally, the flue gas sampling filter also includes a display screen, the input of which is communicatively connected to the output of the controller. The display screen is located outside the flue, allowing the controller to transmit received real-time pressure difference values for display, enabling staff to intuitively understand the gas pressure difference between the first and second chambers.
[0038] Optionally, a first sealing element is provided between the first end cap 3 and the inner filter cartridge 1, and between the first end cap 3 and the outer cylinder 2. This arrangement uses the first sealing element to seal the gaps between the first end cap 3 and the inner filter cartridge 1 and the outer cylinder 2, preventing the flue gas after filtering dust from entering the second cavity and escaping through the gaps between the first end cap 3 and the inner filter cartridge 1 and the outer cylinder 2, thus preventing it from being smoothly delivered to the sampling tube 6.
[0039] Optionally, second sealing elements are provided between the second end cap 4 and the inner filter cartridge 1, and between the second end cap 4 and the outer cylinder 2. This arrangement uses the second sealing elements to seal the gaps between the second end cap 4 and the inner filter cartridge 1 and the outer cylinder 2, preventing the filtered dust-laden flue gas from entering the second cavity and escaping through the gaps between the second end cap 4 and the inner filter cartridge 1 and the outer cylinder 2, thus preventing it from being smoothly delivered to the sampling tube 6.
[0040] Optionally, a third sealing element is provided between the sampling tube 6 and the outer cylinder 2. This arrangement uses the third sealing element to seal the gap between the sampling tube 6 and the outer cylinder 2, preventing the flue gas after filtering dust from entering the second cavity and escaping through the gap between the sampling tube 6 and the outer cylinder 2, thus preventing it from being smoothly delivered to the sampling tube 6.
[0041] Optionally, the outer cylinder 2 is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel is heat-resistant and suitable for temperatures above 100°C, making it suitable for flue environments.
[0042] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a flue gas sampling device according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, this utility model also provides a flue gas sampling device, including a sampling probe 8, and a flue gas sampling filter as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the sampling tube 6 of the flue gas sampling filter is connected to the sampling probe 8.
[0043] Using the flue gas sampling device of this utility model, the flue gas enters the inner filter cartridge 1 through the gas collecting pipe 5, and part of the flue gas passes through the inner filter cartridge 1. After being filtered for dust by the inner filter cartridge 1, the flue gas enters the second chamber and then enters the sampling probe 8 through the sampling pipe 6. That is, before the flue gas enters the sampling probe 8, the dust in the flue gas has been filtered by the inner filter cartridge 1, thereby avoiding the sampling probe 8 from directly contacting the dusty flue gas, preventing the sampling probe 8 from being blocked by dust, and helping to extend the service life of the sampling probe 8.
[0044] In this embodiment, the sampling tube 6 is threadedly connected to the sampling probe 8. Other detachable connection methods can also be used depending on actual needs. The sampling probe 8 is a mature existing technology, and its specific structure and the principle of detecting gas component content will not be described in detail here.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
