Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coal feeder technology, specifically to a cleaning device for the observation window of a coal feeder in a power plant. Background Technology

[0002] A coal feeder in a power plant is a mechanical device that accurately adjusts the coal feed rate of the coal mill according to load requirements. It is located between the raw coal hopper and the coal mill. In a direct-fired pulverizing system, the coal feed rate is directly adapted to the boiler load. There are various types of coal feeders, which can be classified into volumetric and gravity types according to their structural characteristics and working principles. The working principle of the gravity coal feeder relies on the cooperation of a weighing device and a control system to achieve the weighing and precise control of coal conveying. It has the advantages of accurate weighing, reliable operation, compact size, good sealing, and suitability for positive pressure operation. It has been widely used in large boiler units. An observation window is usually set on the surface of the coal feeder. The observation window is equipped with a mechanically rotatable scraper for cleaning the observation window and to facilitate the observation of the internal working conditions by the staff.

[0003] However, when the coal quality is abnormal, such as high moisture content or high fine coal powder content, it is easy to adhere to the observation window of the coal feeder and is difficult to remove effectively. This affects the observation of the internal condition of the coal feeder during inspection. If the coal feeder has an abnormal situation, it cannot be effectively observed and judged, resulting in the coal feeder being unable to supply coal normally or even being damaged.

[0029] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4The diagram illustrates a cleaning device for the observation window of a coal feeder in a power plant. It includes a coal feeder body 1, with a cleaning mechanism 5 located on the front side of the body 1. The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 501, which is positioned on the front side of the coal feeder body 1. A movable frame 502, a V-shaped frame, is fixedly mounted on the front side of the coal feeder body 1 via a movable block 507 at its end. Two sets of slide rods 506 are provided, both located behind a water collection rod 505. The rear end of the top of the water rod 505 is connected to the end of the diversion pipe 510. The outer surface of the diversion pipe 510 is connected to the outlet of the liquid pump 512 through the connecting pipe 511. The inlet of the liquid pump 512 is connected to the cleaning liquid tank 513. The cleaning liquid tank 513 is located at the top of the coal feeder body 1. The ends of the two sets of water collecting rods 505 are slidably mounted on the outer surface of the guide rod 503 through the slider 504. Several sets of through holes 508 are opened on the front side of the two sets of water collecting rods 505. Scraper strips 509 are also provided on the front side of the two sets of water collecting rods 505. The two sets of guide rods 503 are located inside the coal feeder body 1.

[0031] In this solution, the movable frame 502 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 501. The movable frame 502 slides on the slide rod 506 via the movable block 507, which drives the water collecting rod 505 to move on the guide rod 503, ensuring that the cleaning range covers the entire observation window 3. The water collecting rod 505 is connected to the liquid pump 512 through the diversion pipe 510. The liquid pump 512 draws cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid tank 513 and sprays it evenly on the observation window 3 through the through hole 508 on the front side of the water collecting rod 505. At the same time, the scraper 509 scrapes away residual dirt, achieving a thorough cleaning of the observation window 3, effectively preventing obstruction of vision caused by coal dust accumulation, and improving the safety of equipment operation.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, two sets of mounting slots 2 are provided on the front side of the coal feeder body 1. Each set of mounting slots 2 has an observation window 3 installed inside via a pressure ring 201. Both pressure rings 201 are fixedly installed inside the mounting slots 2 via fixing bolts 202. Air ducts 4 are installed corresponding to the positions of the two sets of observation windows 3. The two sets of air ducts 4 are fixedly installed inside the coal feeder body 1 via mounting brackets. There are two sets of air ducts 4. The outer surface of each air duct 4 connects to one end of a compressed air pipe and a sealed air duct. The other end of the sealed air duct connects to the coal feeder body 1, and the other end of the compressed air pipe connects to the air compressor. Both sets of air ducts 4 are located at the positions corresponding to the observation windows 3. Several sets of high-pressure nozzles 401 are connected to the outer surface of each set of air ducts 4. Dustproof nets 402 are installed inside each set of high-pressure nozzles 401.

[0033] In this design, two sets of mounting slots 2 are provided on the front side of the coal feeder body 1. The observation window 3 is fixed in the mounting slot 2 by the pressure ring 201 and the fixing bolt 202, which ensures the sealing and stability of the observation window 3, facilitates the installation and replacement of the observation window 3, and improves the operating efficiency and safety of the equipment.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the device is in use, firstly, the movable frame 502 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 501. The movable frame 502 slides on the slide rod 506 through the movable block 507, which drives the water collecting rod 505 to move on the guide rod 503, so that the cleaning range covers the entire observation window 3. The liquid pump 512 draws cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid tank 513 and delivers it to the water collecting rod 505 through the diversion pipe 510. The cleaning liquid is evenly sprayed onto the observation window 3 through the through hole 508 on the front side of the water collecting rod 505. At the same time, the scraper 509 scrapes off the residual dirt, so as to achieve a thorough cleaning of the observation window 3. Secondly, the coal feeder body 1 and the air compressor respectively deliver gas to the sealed air duct and the compressed air pipeline. Through several sets of high-pressure nozzles 401 connected to the surface of the air duct 4, the high-pressure airflow continuously blows the observation window 3 to prevent coal dust from adhering. The high-pressure nozzles 401 are equipped with dustproof nets 402 inside, which effectively prevent large particles of coal dust from entering the air duct 4.
