[0003] The high-speed rotating atomizer in related technologies includes a housing, within which a bushing is installed. A lower oil tank is connected to the bushing. A main shaft passes through the bushing and the lower oil tank. A bearing is installed between the main shaft and the bushing, and there are slight clearances between the main shaft and other components. An atomizing disc is installed at one end of the main shaft. Lubricating oil is contained in the lower oil tank, which lubricates the bearings inside the atomizer. During use, the liquid is injected into a distributor through a pipe, and then flows from the distributor into the atomizing disc. Subsequently, the drive mechanism is activated, causing the main shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the atomizing disc to rotate at high speed, thus atomizing the liquid.

[0004] During use, if the slurry cannot be completely released through the atomizing disc, it will flow upward along the gap in the main shaft, causing backflow. Subsequently, the slurry flows into the lower oil tank through the gap, where it neutralizes with the lubricating oil. This neutralized slurry will damage the bearings during use, making it difficult for the high-speed rotating atomizer to function properly, and in severe cases, rendering the atomizer unusable. Summary of the Invention

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses an atomizer.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The atomizer includes a housing 1, a bushing 2 installed inside the housing 1, a main shaft 3 passing through and rotatably connected to the bushing 2, an atomizing disc fixedly fitted at one end of the main shaft 3, a conveying unit for conveying the slurry to the atomizing disc on the housing 1, a drive unit for driving the main shaft 3 to rotate on the housing 1, a lower oil tank 4 installed on the bushing 2, and a sealing unit for preventing the slurry from flowing from the atomizing disc to the lower oil tank 4 on the lower oil tank 4.

[0025] Therefore, the drive unit is activated, causing the main shaft 3 and the atomizing disc to rotate at high speed, thereby atomizing the slurry. When the slurry cannot be completely released through the atomizing disc, the slurry returning from the atomizer along the gap is blocked by the sealing unit. The sealing unit plays a sealing role, reducing the possibility of slurry flowing into the lower oil tank 4, and improving the operational stability of the high-speed rotating atomizer.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The sealing unit includes a sealing block 5 installed on the lower oil tank 4. The sealing block 5 has a mounting hole 6 on its surface facing the lower oil tank 4. The main shaft 3 passes through the lower oil tank 4 and the mounting hole 6 in sequence. A placement groove 7 is provided on the wall of the mounting hole 6. A sealing element matching the size of the placement groove 7 is provided in the placement groove 7. The main shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the inner edge of the sealing element. The placement groove 7 limits the position of the sealing element and improves the stability of the sealing element position.

[0027] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sealing element includes a sealing ring 8 that matches the size of the placement groove 7. An arc-shaped retaining ring 9 is connected to the inner edge of the sealing ring 8. In this embodiment, the sealing ring 8 is made of high-temperature resistant stainless steel, and the arc-shaped retaining ring 9 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE is elastic, has a smooth surface, and an extremely low coefficient of friction, making it suitable for corrosive environments such as chemical equipment. In this embodiment, two arc-shaped retaining rings 9 are set along the axial direction of the main shaft 3, forming a double-layer sealing structure and a double barrier, further improving the sealing effect of the sealing element, reducing the possibility of slurry backflow, and significantly improving sealing reliability.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, during the assembly of the seal, the gap between the arc-shaped retaining ring 9 and the main shaft 3 should not be too large, as an excessively large gap makes it difficult to prevent backflow; conversely, the gap between the arc-shaped retaining ring 9 and the main shaft 3 should not be too small, as an excessively small gap will cause the high-speed rotation of the main shaft 3 to rub against the seal, resulting in damage to both the main shaft 3 and the seal. The main shaft 3 should be pressed tightly against the inner edge of the arc-shaped retaining ring 9, and the main shaft 3 should rotate relative to the arc-shaped retaining ring 9 within the inner edge of the arc-shaped retaining ring 9.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 The lower oil tank 4 has a mounting block bolted on it, and the outer edge of the sealing block 5 is fixedly connected to a mounting ring 11. A liquid sensor 10 is mounted on the mounting block. If the seal is damaged or worn, causing backflow, the drive unit will immediately stop when the liquid sensor 10 detects the backflow, thereby achieving automatic shutdown of the atomizer equipment.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A fan is installed inside the housing 1, and a plurality of air holes 13 are provided on the mounting ring 11. In this embodiment, the plurality of air holes 13 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the mounting ring 11. Since the atomizer of this application is used for desulfurization in power plants, the housing 1 is in a high-temperature environment of 220°C. The fan and air holes 13 are used to cool the inside of the housing 1, thereby further improving the stability of the atomizer when processing large flue gas.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The conveying unit includes an inlet pipe 14 mounted on the housing 1. An inlet hole 18 corresponding to the position of the inlet pipe 14 is provided on the mounting ring 11. A distributor 15 is bolted to the mounting ring 11. The distributor 15 has a flow channel communicating with the inlet hole 18 and the atomizing disc. In this embodiment, the number of inlet pipes 14 is set to two, one for process water and the other for lime slurry. The number of inlet holes 18 and distributors 15 is also set to two, one for process water (20) and the other for lime slurry (22). A partition 21 can be provided between the two distributors 15 according to actual conditions, and the partition 21 has flow holes for the slurry to pass through. Therefore, the slurry flows from the inlet pipe 14 into the inlet hole 18. In this embodiment, the process water flows through the inlet hole 18 and through the flow channel of the process water distributor 20 before flowing into the center of the atomizer for further atomization. The lime slurry flows through the inlet hole 18 and through the through hole of the process water distributor 20 before flowing into the flow hole of the baffle 21, and then into the flow channel of the lime slurry distributor 22. Finally, the lime slurry flows into the center of the atomizer for further atomization.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 An annular groove 12 is provided on the outer edge of the mounting ring 11. A sealing ring matching the size of the annular groove 12 is installed in the annular groove 12. The sealing ring is pressed between the housing 1 and the annular groove 12. In this embodiment, the sealing ring is made of rubber material and plays a sealing role, reducing the possibility of slurry overflow.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drive unit includes a drive motor mounted on the housing 1. A first gear 16 is connected to the output end of the drive motor, and a second gear 17 is fixedly mounted on one end of the main shaft 3. The first gear 16 and the second gear 17 are connected via a gear set. Therefore, starting the drive motor rotates the first gear 16 at its output end. Since the first gear 16 and the second gear 17 are connected via a gear set, the first gear 16 drives the second gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the main shaft 3 and the atomizing disc to rotate at high speed. This atomizes the slurry in the atomizing disc into fine droplets, increasing the contact area with the flue gas, promoting chemical reactions, and treating the flue gas to meet emission standards. Simultaneously, when the liquid sensor 10 detects slurry, the drive unit immediately stops, i.e., the drive motor stops.

[0034] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: The drive motor is started, causing the first gear 16 at the output end of the drive motor to rotate. Since the first gear 16 and the second gear 17 are connected by a gear set, the first gear 16 drives the second gear 17 to rotate, and the second gear 17 drives the main shaft 3 and the atomizing disc to rotate at high speed, atomizing the slurry in the atomizing disc into fine droplets to increase the contact area with the flue gas, promote chemical reactions, and treat the flue gas to meet emission standards. When the slurry cannot be completely released through the atomizing disc, the slurry returning along the gaps in the atomizer is blocked by the sealing ring 8 and the arc-shaped baffle ring 9. The arc-shaped baffle ring 9 acts as a seal, and the double-layer sealing structure forms a double barrier, further improving the sealing effect of the seals, reducing the possibility of slurry flowing into the lower oil tank 4, and improving the stability of the high-speed rotating atomizer. Furthermore, this application has undergone multiple tests, taking a maximum flow rate of 10 cubic meters per hour as an example, and can also achieve good anti-return slurry effect, enabling the atomizer to meet the processing capacity of large flue gas volumes, reducing equipment failure frequency, and reducing maintenance costs.

After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
