Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air preheater sealing, and more particularly to an air preheater coupling sealing device. Background Technology

[0002] An air preheater is an important preheating device that improves the heat exchange performance of a boiler and reduces heat loss. Its main function is to transfer the heat carried by the flue gas discharged from the boiler tail flue to the air entering the boiler through heat transfer elements such as heat dissipation pipes, and preheat the air to a certain temperature.

[0003] Sealing is crucial during the operation of the air preheater. Since the air preheater is connected to both flue gas and air on opposite sides with a significant pressure difference, effective sealing measures must be taken to prevent flue gas leakage to the air side—this is known as air preheater leakage. Air leakage not only reduces boiler thermal efficiency and increases the power consumption of the induced draft fan and booster fan, but also affects the stable operation of the boiler and the unit's economic efficiency. Therefore, improving the sealing between the air preheater plates is key. Existing sealing devices, which require rotating multiple screws for installation and removal, are inconvenient and their sealing effect does not meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] A preferred embodiment of the air preheater coupling sealing device provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 4 As shown: An air preheater coupling sealing device includes a first air preheater base plate 1, a sealing gasket 5 at the top of the first air preheater base plate 1, a second air preheater base plate 2 at the top of the sealing gasket 5, two clamping mechanisms 3 on both sides of the top of the second air preheater base plate 2, and a tightening sealing assembly 4 between the two clamping mechanisms 3. The number of clamping mechanisms 3 and tightening sealing assemblies 4 are several, and they are linearly and alternately distributed at the top of the second air preheater base plate 2. The first air preheater base plate 1 and the second air preheater base plate 2 are the same in size and shape. By setting the sealing gasket 5 as the main sealing structure, it works together with the clamping mechanisms 3 and the tightening sealing assembly 4 to complete the sealing work.

[0025] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a first groove 301, which is formed at the top of the first air preheater substrate 1. A lower sleeve 309 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first groove 301. A slot 302 is formed at the top of the lower sleeve 309. A through hole 307 is formed inside the second air preheater substrate 2. A clamping rod 303 is provided inside the second air preheater substrate 2. An upper sleeve 305 is movably clamped to the outer wall of the clamping rod 303. The upper sleeve 305 is fixedly sleeved on the inner wall of the through hole 307. A first knob 304 is fixedly connected to the top of the clamping rod 303. A first spring 306 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the upper sleeve 305 and the clamping rod 303. A bolt 308 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the clamping rod 303. The bolt 308 matches the size of the slot 302. This ensures that the bolt 308 can pass through the slot 302 and then engage with the lower sleeve 309 during the downward pushing process.

[0026] By pressing the first knob 304, the locking lever 303 descends and the first spring 306 is compressed. The locking bolt 308 passes through the locking groove 302 during the downward push. Rotating the first knob 304 releases it. Under the action of the first spring 306, the locking bolt 308 is tightly locked into the lower sleeve 309, thus completing the installation of the locking mechanism 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, the tightening and sealing assembly 4 includes an upper extrusion block 401, a telescopic rod 402 fixedly connected to the top of the upper extrusion block 401, an inner cavity 407 opened inside the second air preheater substrate 2, the inner wall of the inner cavity 407 being slidably connected to the upper extrusion block 401, a lower extrusion block 405 fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod 402, the lower extrusion block 405 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity 407, a threaded rod 404 rotatably connected to the top of the lower extrusion block 405, the threaded rod 404 passing through the top of the second air preheater substrate 2 and being threadedly connected to the passing portion, a second knob 403 fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 404, and a second spring 406 fixedly connected between the lower extrusion block 405 and the upper extrusion block 401, the second spring 406 being sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic rod 402.

[0028] With the above scheme, rotating the second knob 403 causes the threaded rod 404 to descend relative to the second air preheater substrate 2 due to the threaded connection between the threaded rod 404 and the top end of the second air preheater substrate 2. This pushes the lower extrusion block 405 downward, and the force of the lower extrusion block 405 downward is transmitted to the upper extrusion block 401 through the second spring 406. The upper extrusion block 401 then tightly presses the sealing gasket 5.

[0029] Working principle: When operating and using this utility model, as follows... Figures 1 to 4As shown, during use, the first air preheater base plate 1 and the second air preheater base plate 2 are brought into contact, and the sealing gasket 5 is initially brought into contact. Then, the first knob 304 is pressed, causing the locking lever 303 to descend and the first spring 306 to be compressed. The locking bolt 308 passes through the locking groove 302 during the downward push. Rotating the first knob 304 releases it, and under the action of the first spring 306, the locking bolt 308 is tightly locked into the lower sleeve 309, completing the installation of the locking mechanism 3. Then, the second knob 403 is rotated, because... The threaded rod 404 is threadedly connected to the top of the second air preheater base plate 2. Therefore, the threaded rod 404 descends relative to the second air preheater base plate 2, pushing the lower extrusion block 405 downward. The force of the lower extrusion block 405 is transmitted to the upper extrusion block 401 through the second spring 406. The upper extrusion block 401 tightly presses the sealing gasket 5. Due to the reaction force, the engagement between the bolt 308 and the lower sleeve 309 becomes more secure. The clamping mechanism 3 and the tightening sealing assembly 4 cooperate to improve the sealing effect.

[0030] The above are merely illustrative embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept and principles of this utility model should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be noted that the components of this utility model are not limited to the overall application described above. Each technical feature described in the specification of this utility model can be used individually or in combination as needed. Therefore, this utility model naturally covers other combinations and specific applications related to the points of this utility model.
