[0019] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] This utility model provides a device for online cleaning of the annular groove 14 of the desulfurization regeneration tower 1, such as... Figure 1As shown, the system includes: a reaction tank 5, a first pipeline, a desulfurization liquid pump 8, a second pipeline 6, a desulfurization regeneration tower 1, a foam tank 3, a cleaning pipeline, a first valve, and a cleaning nozzle 11. The reaction tank 5 receives the desulfurization liquid flowing out from the bottom of the desulfurization tower. One end of the first pipeline is connected to and communicates with the reaction tank 5. The input end of the desulfurization liquid pump 8 is connected to and communicates with the end of the first pipeline away from the reaction tank 5. One end of the second pipeline 6 is connected to and communicates with the output end of the desulfurization liquid pump 8. The desulfurization regeneration tower 1 includes a tower body, an annular pipe 2, premixing nozzles, a compressed air pipeline 4, an overflow weir 13, an annular tank 14, and a foam pipeline 12. The annular pipe 2 is located at the bottom of the tower body. The second pipeline 6 is sealed and connected to the bottom of the tower body. Each premixing nozzle is located on the annular pipe 2. One end of the compressed air pipeline 4 is sealed and connected to the bottom of the side wall of the tower body. The other end is used to connect with the compressed air source. The overflow weir 13 is set at the top of the tower body. The annular groove 14 is sleeved on the outside of the overflow weir 13. One end of the foam pipe 12 is connected to the bottom of the annular groove 14 and communicates with it. The foam groove 3 is connected to the end of the foam pipe 12 away from the annular groove 14 and communicates with it. One end of the cleaning pipe is connected to the second pipe 6 and communicates with it. The other end is sealed to the top of the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 and extends into the desulfurization regeneration tower 1. The first valve is set on the cleaning pipe. The cleaning nozzle 11 is connected to the end of the cleaning pipe that extends into the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 and communicates with it, so that the sprayed desulfurization liquid effectively covers the annular groove 14 and the overflow weir 13 area. The reaction tank 5 serves as the collection starting point of the desulfurization liquid, realizing the orderly collection of the desulfurization liquid discharged from the desulfurization tower, providing a stable source for the subsequent desulfurization liquid circulation treatment, ensuring that the entire desulfurization system can continuously obtain the desulfurization liquid to be treated, and maintaining the continuous operation of the system. The first pipeline establishes a direct connection between the reaction tank 5 and the desulfurization liquid pump 8, ensuring that the desulfurization liquid collected from the reaction tank 5 can be smoothly and stably delivered to the desulfurization liquid pump 8. This guarantees the smooth transmission of the desulfurization liquid within the system and reduces system operation problems caused by poor transmission. The reasonable connection of the desulfurization liquid pump 8 enables it to effectively draw desulfurization liquid from the first pipeline, providing power support for the subsequent delivery of the desulfurization liquid to the desulfurization regeneration tower 1. This ensures that the desulfurization liquid has sufficient pressure for circulation within the system, maintaining normal processing flow. The desulfurization liquid pump 8 smoothly delivers the pressurized desulfurization liquid to the second pipeline 6, providing a flow channel for the desulfurization liquid to enter the desulfurization regeneration tower 1. This ensures that the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 can continuously receive a sufficient supply of desulfurization liquid during operation to complete desulfurization-related operations. The desulfurization liquid entering the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 can be evenly distributed into the annular pipe 2. Through the premixing nozzles on the annular pipe 2, the desulfurization liquid can be fully premixed with subsequent incoming substances (such as compressed air), which is beneficial for efficient reaction at the bottom of the tower and provides the basic conditions for achieving good desulfurization results. Compressed air pipeline 4 provides a channel for introducing compressed air into desulfurization regeneration tower 1, ensuring that sufficient quantity and pressure of compressed air can be delivered to the bottom of the tower.The sealed connection prevents gas leakage, improves energy utilization efficiency and reaction stability, and, through specific connection positions, allows compressed air and desulfurization liquid to mix thoroughly near the annular pipe 2, promoting the regeneration reaction of the desulfurization solution. The overflow weir 13 controls the liquid level inside the tower, ensuring it remains within a suitable range to facilitate normal reaction and separation operations. The annular trough 14, in conjunction with the overflow weir 13, collects substances floating at the top (such as sulfur foam), which are then led out of the tower through the foam pipe 12, ensuring timely discharge of substances from the tower and maintaining the stability of the tower's environment and operating conditions. The foam tank 3 provides a storage and further processing area for sulfur foam and other substances drawn from the desulfurization regeneration tower 1, enabling rational arrangement and subsequent disposal of substances discharged from the tower, avoiding the adverse effects of indiscriminate discharge on the environment and system, and contributing to the orderly operation of the entire production process. Desulfurization liquid can be obtained from the second pipe 6 and introduced into the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 through the cleaning pipe, making it possible to clean the annular tank 14 and the overflow weir 13. This allows for direct cleaning of key areas within the tower where impurities easily accumulate. The first valve can flexibly control the flow of desulfurization liquid in the cleaning pipe. By opening or closing the valve, it is possible to decide whether to perform cleaning operations according to actual needs, and to control the flow rate and time of the desulfurization liquid entering the tower, enhancing the operability and flexibility of the cleaning device. The reasonable arrangement of the cleaning nozzles 11 ensures that the sprayed desulfurization liquid can fully cover the annular tank 14 and the overflow weir 13 area. This allows for timely cleaning of these areas, removing impurities (such as sulfur foam) adhering to them, preventing impurity accumulation, and thus ensuring the normal function of the overflow weir 13 and the annular tank 14, maintaining the stable operation of the desulfurization regeneration tower 1.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning pipeline includes a main pipeline 9 and multiple branch pipelines. One end of the main pipeline 9 is connected to and communicates with the second pipeline 6, and the other end is connected to and communicates with each branch pipeline. The other end of each branch pipeline extends into the top of the tower body and connects to and communicates with the cleaning nozzle 11. A first valve is installed on the main pipeline 9. The design of the main pipeline 9 and the branch pipelines allows the desulfurization liquid obtained from the second pipeline 6 to be distributed to multiple desulfurization regeneration towers 1, enabling simultaneous cleaning of multiple desulfurization regeneration towers 1 and improving cleaning efficiency. Installing the first valve on the main pipeline 9 facilitates unified control of the inflow and outflow of desulfurization liquid in the entire cleaning system, simplifying operation and management.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the device for online cleaning of the annular trough 14 of the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 further includes multiple second valves, one of which is installed on each branch pipe. Each second valve on a branch pipe can individually control the flow of desulfurization liquid within that branch pipe. In actual operation, this allows for targeted control of the opening and closing of each branch pipe based on the degree of contamination at different locations of the annular trough 14 and the overflow weir 13, further improving the precision and flexibility of the cleaning operation to achieve the best cleaning effect.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the device for online cleaning of the annular trough 14 of the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 further includes a short section 10. One end of the short section 10 is fixedly connected to and communicates with a branch pipe, and the other end is threadedly connected to a cleaning nozzle 11. The short section 10 serves two purposes: firstly, it connects the branch pipe and the cleaning nozzle 11, ensuring smooth liquid transmission; secondly, the threaded connection facilitates the installation and removal of the nozzle 11. When the nozzle 11 becomes clogged or damaged, it can be quickly replaced and repaired, reducing downtime and improving the ease of maintenance of the device.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the device for online cleaning of the annular tank 14 of the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 further includes a third valve 7. A third valve 7 is installed on a second pipe 6, located between the connection point of the main pipe 9 and the second pipe 6 and the desulfurization liquid pump 8. The third valve 7 controls the flow rate and pressure of the desulfurization liquid entering the cleaning pipe, ensuring sufficient desulfurization liquid is obtained during the cleaning operation while preventing excessive impact on the normal circulation of the desulfurization liquid in the entire desulfurization system. Furthermore, during maintenance of the cleaning pipe and related equipment, this valve can be closed to disconnect the cleaning system from the main desulfurization liquid circulation pipe, ensuring maintenance safety.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the device for online cleaning of the annular trough 14 of the desulfurization regeneration tower 1 further includes a fourth valve. A fourth valve is installed on a foam pipe 12. The fourth valve can control the discharge of substances in the foam pipe 12. By reasonably adjusting the valve opening, the speed and flow rate of sulfur foam and other substances discharged from the annular trough 14 can be better controlled to ensure that the discharge of substances in the tower is in a suitable state, preventing the discharge from being too fast or too slow from affecting the normal operation of the system. At the same time, it can also cut off the discharge channel in time in case of abnormality and carry out emergency treatment.
[0026] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
