[0002] Currently, the flue gas produced after the combustion of conventional fuels (including coal, oil, and natural gas) is relatively high in temperature, containing a considerable amount of heat energy, especially flue gas containing high-enthalpy water vapor. If this high-temperature flue gas is directly discharged into the atmosphere through a chimney without treatment, it will result in a huge waste of heat energy.
[0003] When existing flue gas waste heat recovery devices are in use, the flue gas is transported in the flue for a long time, which will cause too many impurities to adhere to the inner wall of the flue. If it is not cleaned in time, it will reduce the heat exchange efficiency of the flue. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses a flue gas waste heat recovery device, including a flue gas heat exchange tube 1 and an outer shell 2. The outer shell 2 is fixed on the outer wall of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1, and a cavity is formed between the inner wall of the outer shell 2 and the outer wall of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1. A water inlet pipe 3 and a water outlet pipe 4 are symmetrically arranged on the outer shell 2. A support 6 is fixedly arranged inside the flue gas heat exchange tube 1. A dust suction pipe 7 is rotatably arranged on the support 6. The dust suction pipe 7 is provided with a plurality of dust suction holes 14, and a plurality of cleaning rods 15 are symmetrically arranged on the periphery of the dust suction pipe 7. The cleaning rods 15 are provided with brushes 16 that contact the inner wall of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1.
[0026] The rear end of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1 is provided with a slot 5 and a motor 10. The rear end of the dust suction tube 7 is provided with a toothed disc 8 located inside the slot 5. The toothed disc 8 can rotate inside the slot 5, and the toothed disc 8 is provided with multiple through holes 9. The output end of the motor 10 is provided with a drive disc 11 that meshes with the toothed disc 8.
[0027] The flue gas heat exchange tube 1 is also provided with a transition block 12 that is rotatably connected to the dust suction pipe 7, and the transition block 12 is connected to the dust suction pipe 7. The lower end of the transition block 12 is provided with a transition pipe 13 that passes through the flue gas heat exchange tube 1. A dust suction device 17 is provided below the flue gas heat exchange tube 1, and the dust suction end of the dust suction device 17 is connected to the transition pipe 13.
[0028] In this embodiment, two supports 6 are symmetrically arranged inside the flue gas heat exchange tube 1, and the two ends of the dust suction tube 7 are rotatably connected to the supports 6 respectively, which can provide a support structure for the two ends of the dust suction tube 7 and improve the stability of the dust suction tube 7 during use.
[0029] In this embodiment, the output end of the motor 10 is provided with a rotating shaft, and the drive disk 11 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft by screws. The screw fixing method makes it easy to assemble the drive disk 11 at one end of the rotating shaft.
[0030] In this embodiment, both the adapter block 12 and the adapter pipe 13 are made of metal pipes. The adapter block 12 has an internal cavity, and one end of the suction pipe 7 can be inserted into the cavity. The rotatable connection between the suction pipe 7 and the adapter block 12 can be achieved by adding parts such as shaft seals or sealed bearings. Here, its conventional connection structure does not need to be described in detail.
[0031] In this embodiment, the motor 10 can be a servo motor, and the vacuuming device 17 can be an industrial vacuum cleaner.
[0032] When the flue gas containing residual heat enters the flue gas heat exchange tube 1, the motor 10 and the dust collection device 17 are both in the off state. The cavity formed between the inner wall of the outer shell 2 and the outer wall of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1 is filled with acetic acid or other media. The heat generated by the high-temperature flue gas will be transferred to the outer wall of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1. At this time, the heat on the outer wall of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1 will be transferred to the medium in the cavity, thereby playing a heat exchange role and recovering the residual heat in the flue gas. In this structure, the diameter and length of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1 are not strictly specified. Finally, the flue gas after heat exchange is discharged to the designated position at the rear end of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1.
[0033] After the flue gas heat exchange tube 1 has been in use for a period of time, the flue gas delivery is stopped, and the motor 10 and the dust collection device 17 are started at the same time. The motor 10 drives the drive disc 11 to rotate, which in turn enables the dust collection tube 7 to rotate. At this time, the brush 16 on the cleaning rod 15 continuously cleans the inner wall of the flue gas heat exchange tube 1, and the dust collection hole 14 on the dust collection tube 7 begins to suck up the dust and other impurities generated during the cleaning process to prevent dust from accumulating on the tube wall and affecting the heat exchange efficiency.
