[0028] The following will be described in conjunction with Figures 1-6 The present application will be described in detail.
[0029] EMBODIMENT
[0030] By Figures 1-6 It can be known that the spark catcher with self-cleaning device comprises a shell 1 which is made of steel welding and has the characteristics of firmness, durability and good sealing. The inside of the shell 1 is provided with a first blocking plate 2, a second blocking plate 3 and a steel wire mesh 4 from bottom to top. The first blocking plate 2, the second blocking plate 3 and the steel wire mesh 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1 through supports, so as to ensure that the spark catching function can be stably played in the process of flue gas flowing.
[0031] Moreover, the first blocking plate 2 and the second blocking plate 3 are arranged in a cross manner. The first blocking plate 2 and the second blocking plate 3 are not fully laid and cover 2 / 3 of the cross-sectional area of the shell 1. Such a design can make the spark collide with the first blocking plate 2 and the second blocking plate 3 for multiple times when passing through, so that the kinetic energy is gradually reduced until the spark is extinguished, thereby most of the sparks are caught in the process.
[0032] The steel wire mesh 4 is located above the second blocking plate 3 and is used for catching the tiny sparks which are not caught by the first two blocking plates, so as to further improve the spark catching efficiency and is one of the key components of the whole spark catcher.
[0033] The three-layer grading catching mode of the first blocking plate 2, the second blocking plate 3 and the steel wire mesh 4 greatly improves the spark catching efficiency. The upper part of the steel wire mesh 4 is provided with a pulse dust cleaning device, the bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a dust hopper 13, one side of the outer wall of the dust hopper 13 is provided with an air inlet pipe 14, and the top of the shell 1 is provided with an air outlet 11 for discharging the purified flue gas.
[0034] The flue gas containing sparks enters through the air inlet pipe 14, collides with the inner wall of the steel welding shell 1 upwards, collides with the first blocking plate 2, and part of the sparks are extinguished; then collides with the second blocking plate 3 upwards along the first blocking plate 2, part of the sparks are caught, and then the flue gas collides with the steel wire mesh 4 upwards, and finally the flue gas goes upwards from the air outlet 11 to the rear-end equipment.
[0035] The pulse dust cleaning device comprises a gas pocket 8 which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell 1 through a support frame 10. The inlet of the gas pocket 8 is connected with a compressed gas source outside, a plurality of pulse valves 7 are arranged on the gas pocket 8, the outlet of each pulse valve 7 is connected with a blowing pipe 9 for cleaning the dust on the steel wire mesh 4, the lower end of each blowing pipe 9 is provided with a blowing port, and the end of each blowing pipe 9 away from the pulse valve 7 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the shell 1. Moreover, the blowing ports at the lower end of the blowing pipe 9 are provided with a plurality of blowing ports which are equidistantly distributed on the blowing pipe 9.
[0036] Meanwhile, the outer wall of the shell 1 is also provided with a control box 6 for controlling the opening and closing of the pulse valve 7, and the control box 6 is electrically connected with the pulse valve 7. The control box 6 can realize the timing control of the opening and closing of the pulse valve 7, so as to complete the timing dust cleaning operation of the steel wire mesh 4.
[0037] By adding the pulse dust cleaning device above the steel wire mesh 4, and controlling the opening and closing of the pulse valve 7 by the control box 6, the compressed gas enters the blowing pipe 9 from the gas pocket 8, and then is sprayed from the blowing port of the blowing pipe 9 to clean the dust on the steel wire mesh, and the compressed gas with lower temperature can also play a role in cooling and extinguishing sparks.
[0038] Therefore, while the spark catcher is running, the pulse dust cleaning device can clean the dust on the steel wire mesh 4 at regular intervals, which can ensure the long-term operation of the steel wire mesh 4, greatly improve the spark catching efficiency, and the maintenance personnel do not need to enter the steel wire mesh 4 for cleaning at regular intervals, which improves the production efficiency of the system and reduces the safety production risk of the system.
[0039] Further, the other side outer wall of the shell 1 is provided with an inspection hole 12, and a maintenance door is installed, which facilitates the periodic inspection, maintenance and cleaning of the internal structure of the shell 1 by the workers, and ensures the stable operation of the equipment.
[0040] Further, the outlet of the ash bucket 13 is provided with an ash unloading device 15. The ash unloading device 15 can timely discharge the captured dust and ash, avoid the blockage of the ash bucket 13, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
[0041] Specifically, when the spark catcher with the self-cleaning device is used, the flue gas containing sparks enters the shell 1 from the air inlet pipe 14, first collides with the inner wall of the steel welded shell 1, and part of the sparks are extinguished here. Then the flue gas continues to flow upward and collides with the first blocking plate 2, and part of the sparks are captured and extinguished again. Then the flue gas continues to flow upward along the first blocking plate 2 and collides with the second blocking plate 3, and part of the sparks are captured. After being captured by the first two blocking plates, a small amount of tiny sparks remaining in the flue gas will continue to flow upward and be intercepted and adsorbed by the steel wire mesh 4 when passing through the steel wire mesh 4, and the finally purified flue gas is discharged from the air outlet 11 at the top of the shell 1 and enters the downstream equipment for further treatment.
[0042] When the steel wire mesh 4 runs for a long time, dust will gradually accumulate, which may cause the steel wire mesh 4 to be blocked and the airflow channel to become smaller. At this time, the control box 6 controls the pulse valve 7 to open according to the pre-set time, the compressed gas from the external compressed gas source enters the gas pocket 8, and then is sprayed at high speed from the blowing port at the lower end of the blowing pipe 9 through the pulse valve 7 and the blowing pipe 9, and is blown onto the steel wire mesh 4. The dust adhering to the steel wire mesh 4 is blown off by the strong impact force of the compressed gas, falls into the ash bucket 13 under the action of gravity, and is finally discharged through the ash unloading device 15.
[0043] This pulse dust cleaning process does not require manual cleaning inside the equipment, which can ensure the long-term stable operation of the steel wire mesh 4, greatly improve the production efficiency, and reduce the safety risk. At the same time, the compressed gas with lower temperature can also play a role in cooling and extinguishing sparks during the blowing process, which further enhances the safety of the equipment.
[0044] The preferred embodiments of the present application have been described above with the preferred embodiments, but are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
