Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sealing technology, specifically to a water-sealed flexible connection device between a fixed object and a moving object. Background Technology
[0002] The float glass process is currently the most widely used technology in flat glass production. The melting furnace, as the core thermal equipment in the float glass production line, plays a crucial role in melting the glass. To meet the stable and continuous high-temperature operation requirements of the melting furnace, it typically relies on a gasifier system to provide high-calorific-value fuel gas for heating. In the gasifier system, the coal bunker is usually fixed on the workshop beam, serving as a vital node for raw material storage and supply. Particularly when using a two-stage gasifier, due to the relatively large overall furnace height (approximately 12.5 meters), during operation, especially during ash removal, the slag inside the furnace creates resistance under the scraping action of the large ash scraper, causing slight swaying of the furnace. This swaying is particularly noticeable at the highest point of the furnace, with a left-right swing amplitude of approximately 3 centimeters. The highest point of the furnace is usually where the coal feeder is installed; therefore, the coal feeder will also shift accordingly with the furnace's swaying.
[0003] However, as a fixed structure, the coal bunker requires a specific connection between the coal feeder and the bunker opening to ensure the continuity and sealing of the gas system. Currently, the traditional flexible connection method, which involves wrapping canvas and sealing with mud, is commonly used.
[0004] However, during furnace cleaning and normal ash removal, the continuous slight oscillation of the furnace body and coal feeder can cause deformation, loosening, or even damage to the canvas and sealing mud in the flexible connections, easily leading to gas leaks. Moreover, gas leaks not only pose serious safety hazards (such as explosions and poisoning risks) but can also cause environmental problems (such as harmful gas emissions and odor pollution). Therefore, frequent inspections and maintenance of the connections are necessary, a cumbersome process that consumes significant manpower and resources, greatly impacting the system's operational stability and production efficiency.
[0005] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a water-sealed flexible connection device between a fixed object and a moving object, so as to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0007] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A water-sealed flexible connection device between a fixed object and a moving object is disposed on the outside of the fixed object and is used to form a water-sealed flexible connection between the fixed object and the moving object. The water-sealed flexible connection device between the fixed object and the moving object includes: a mounting base disposed on the outside of the fixed object; a support frame disposed on the bottom of the outside of the mounting base; a water circulation and filtration mechanism disposed on the top of the support frame and used to circulate and filter the water inside the fixed object; and a cleaning mechanism disposed on the top of the fixed object and used to clean impurities in the water inside the fixed object into the water circulation and filtration mechanism.
[0009] Furthermore, in order to achieve water storage and form a good seal between the fixed and moving objects, ensuring the water seal remains effective and adapting to dynamic changes between the fixed and moving objects, such as swaying and vibration, the mounting base has a ring structure, and a space for storing water is formed between the mounting base and the fixed object.
[0010] Furthermore, in order to achieve water recycling, the level sensor can monitor the water level in real time, ensuring the stability of the water level during the operation of the water seal system, preventing the water seal effect from failing due to low water level, and maintaining the water seal's sealing performance. The water circulation filtration mechanism includes a water tank located at the top of the support frame, a water pump located at the top of the water tank, a water pump with a suction pipe running through the top of the water tank on one side, and a water outlet pipe located on the other side of the water pump; a connecting pipe connected to the bottom of a fixed object is located on one side of the water tank; and several level sensors are located inside the water tank on one side.
[0011] Furthermore, in order to filter impurities, impurities in the water can be recycled during the water circulation process to ensure the effectiveness of the water seal. An installation groove is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the connecting pipe. The cross-section of the installation groove is arc-shaped, and an installation cover is installed inside the installation groove. A filter screen is installed at the bottom of the installation cover. Lifting lugs are provided on both sides of the installation groove and both sides of the installation cover. Two sets of lifting lugs on the same side are connected by bolts. A collection tube is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the connecting pipe, on the side of the filter screen, and a cap is provided at the bottom of the collection tube.
[0012] Furthermore, to remove impurities from the water inside the fixed object, the scraper can effectively remove the debris deposited in the water and send it to the water circulation filtration mechanism for recycling and filtration. This reduces the frequency and workload of manual maintenance. The cleaning mechanism includes a toothed ring at the top of the fixed object, several support columns at the bottom of the toothed ring, a rotating ring at the bottom of the support columns, a connecting ring inside the rotating ring, and several scrapers between the rotating ring and the connecting ring. A gear is located on one side of the toothed ring, and a motor is located at the bottom of the gear, with the output shaft of the motor fixedly connected to the gear. Several stop bars connected to the side wall of the fixed object are located at the top of the connecting ring.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. The present invention has a reasonable and reliable structure. Through the water seal method, a stable sealing barrier can be formed between a fixed object and a moving object. Even when the moving object swings or vibrates, the water seal can automatically adapt to the changes and continuously maintain the sealing effect, which is particularly suitable for dynamic equipment connection.
[0015] 2. By setting up a water circulation filtration mechanism, water can be recycled. The liquid level sensor can monitor the water level in real time, ensuring the stability of the water level during the operation of the water seal system and preventing the water seal effect from failing due to low water level. This maintains the water seal's sealing performance and also filters impurities. During the water circulation process, impurities in the water can be recycled to ensure the effectiveness of the water seal.
[0016] 3. By setting up a cleaning mechanism, impurities in the water inside the fixed object can be cleaned. The scraper can effectively remove the debris deposited in the water and send it to the water circulation filtration mechanism for recycling and filtration, which can reduce the frequency and workload of manual maintenance.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present invention. These drawings are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, those skilled in the art should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and the advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.
[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a water-sealed flexible connection device is provided between a fixed object and a moving object.
[0027] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the water-sealed flexible connection device between a fixed object and a moving object according to an embodiment of the present invention is disposed on the outside of the fixed object 1 and is used to make a water-sealed flexible connection between the fixed object 1 (e.g., a coal feeder) and the moving object 2 (e.g., a coal bunker). The water-sealed flexible connection device between the fixed object and the moving object includes: a mounting base 3 disposed on the outside of the fixed object 1; a support frame 4 disposed on the bottom of the outside of the mounting base 3; a water circulation and filtration mechanism 5 disposed on the top of the support frame 4 and used to circulate and filter the water inside the fixed object 1; and a cleaning mechanism 6 disposed on the top of the fixed object 1 and used to clean impurities in the water inside the fixed object 1 into the water circulation and filtration mechanism 5. The mounting base 3 has a ring structure, and a space for storing water is formed between the mounting base 3 and the fixed object 1.
[0028] In addition, it should be noted that the outside of the movable object 2 is provided with a mounting bracket, which can be installed on the roof or connected with other brackets to support the movable object 2.
[0029] With the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, the structure of this utility model is reasonable and reliable. Through the water seal method, a stable sealing barrier can be formed between a fixed object and a moving object. Even when the moving object swings or vibrates, the water seal can automatically adapt to the changes and continuously maintain the sealing effect, which is particularly suitable for dynamic equipment connection.
[0030] In one embodiment, the water circulation filtration mechanism 5 includes a water tank 501 located at the top of the support frame 4, a water pump 502 located at the top of the water tank 501, a water pump 503 extending through the top of the water tank 501 on one side of the water pump 502, and a water outlet pipe 504 located on the other side of the water pump 502; a connecting pipe 505 communicating with the bottom of the fixed object 1 is located on one side of the water tank 501; several liquid level sensors 5011 (the liquid level sensors 5011 can be of models such as PY201, FS-IR1902D, CLM-36-N-12-G-IE200, etc.) are located on one side of the interior of the water tank 501; an installation groove 5051 is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the connecting pipe 505, the cross-section of the installation groove 5051 is arc-shaped, and the interior of the installation groove 5051... The system is equipped with a mounting cover 5052, and a filter screen 5053 is installed at the bottom of the mounting cover 5052. Lifting lugs 5054 are installed on both sides of the mounting groove 5051 and both sides of the mounting cover 5052. Two sets of lifting lugs 5054 on the same side are connected by bolts 5055. A receiving pipe 5056 is installed at the bottom outer side of the connecting pipe 505, located on the side of the filter screen 5053, and a cap 5057 is installed at the bottom of the receiving pipe 5056. This enables water recycling. The liquid level sensor 5011 can monitor the water level in real time, ensuring the stability of the water level during operation and preventing the water seal from failing due to low water levels. This maintains the water seal's tightness and also filters impurities. During water circulation, impurities in the water can be recycled, ensuring the effectiveness of the water seal.
[0031] Furthermore, in practical applications, the side wall of the aforementioned water tank 501 is equipped with a control panel 7, which is electrically connected to two sets of liquid level sensors 5011 and a motor 607. The control panel 7 contains a PLC control system, possessing a high degree of automation control capabilities. It can intelligently control the following equipment according to a preset program: control the start and stop of the water pump 502 to achieve water extraction and injection; control the start and stop of the cleaning mechanism 6 to cooperate with water circulation for impurity removal; and automatically perform periodic maintenance operations based on time settings or sensor feedback. The control panel is also connected to the user terminal. When the water level is lower than the low-level liquid level sensor 5011, the control panel 7 will automatically trigger a low-level alarm and send an alarm message to the user terminal, reminding staff to replenish the water supply in a timely manner.
[0032] The working principle of the water circulation filtration mechanism 5 is as follows: water is added into the water tank 501, and then the water flows through the connecting pipe 505 into the receiving space between the fixed object 1 and the mounting base 3. When the water is added to the high level sensor 5011, the addition stops, thereby achieving water sealing between the fixed object 1 and the moving object 2. After a long period of time or after a preset time of use, the water in the water tank 501 can be pumped out by the water pump 502. At the same time, the cleaning mechanism 6 can be started to introduce water without impurities from the water tank into the receiving space between the fixed object 1 and the mounting base 3. Then, the water containing impurities enters the water tank 501 through the connecting pipe 505. During this process, the impurities are intercepted by the filter screen 5053 and fall into the collection pipe 5056 for storage. After long-term collection, the cover 5057 can be opened to recycle the impurities.
[0033] In addition, after prolonged use, when the water level of the aqueous solution in the containment space reaches the low level sensor 5011, an alarm for low water level can be sent to the staff via the control panel 7. Then the staff can add aqueous solution to the water tank 501 until the water level reaches the position of the high level sensor 5011.
[0034] In one embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a gear ring 601 at the top of the fixed object 1, a plurality of support columns 602 at the bottom of the gear ring 601, a rotating ring 603 at the bottom of the support columns 602, a connecting ring 604 inside the rotating ring 603, and a plurality of scrapers 605 between the rotating ring 603 and the connecting ring 604; a gear 606 is provided on one side of the gear ring 601, a motor 607 is provided at the bottom of the gear 606, and the output shaft of the motor 607 is fixedly connected to the gear 606; a plurality of baffles 608 connected to the side wall of the fixed object 1 are provided at the top of the connecting ring 604. In addition, in specific applications, the baffles 608 and the connecting ring 604 are fitted with a clearance, thereby realizing the cleaning of impurities in the water inside the fixed object 1. The scrapers 605 can effectively remove the debris deposited in the water and send it to the water circulation filtration mechanism 5 for recycling and filtration, which can reduce the frequency and workload of manual maintenance.
[0035] The working principle of the cleaning mechanism 6 is as follows: the motor 607 is started through the control panel, and the output shaft of the motor 607 drives the gear ring 601 to rotate. Then, under the action of the support column 602, the rotating ring 603 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the scraper 605 to perform circumferential motion. This can push the deposited impurities to the connecting pipe 505 for recycling. Under the action of the baffle 608 and the connecting ring 604, the stability of the rotating ring 603 and the connecting ring 604 during rotation can be ensured.
[0036] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.
[0037] In practical applications, firstly, the water seal flexible connection device is installed between the fixed object 1 and the moving object 2. Then, an aqueous solution is injected into the water circulation filtration mechanism 5, and the aqueous solution enters the containment space. After adding a suitable amount of aqueous solution, the addition is stopped, so that the aqueous solution can submerge the bottom of the moving object 2, thereby achieving a seal between the fixed object 1 and the moving object 2. After sealing, the cleaning mechanism 6 can clean the impurities in the fixed object 1 according to the preset cleaning time and send them into the water circulation filtration mechanism 5 for recycling and filtration.
[0038] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the structure of this utility model is reasonable and reliable. Through the water seal method, a stable sealing barrier can be formed between a fixed object and a moving object. Even when the moving object swings or vibrates, the water seal can automatically adapt to changes and continuously maintain the sealing effect, making it particularly suitable for dynamic equipment connections. By setting up the water circulation filtration mechanism 5, water circulation is realized. The liquid level sensor 5011 can monitor the water level in real time, ensuring the stability of the water level during the operation of the water seal system and preventing the water seal effect from failing due to low water level, thus maintaining the sealing performance of the water seal. At the same time, it can also filter impurities. During the water circulation process, impurities in the water can be recycled to ensure the effectiveness of the water seal. By setting up the cleaning mechanism 6, impurities in the water inside the fixed object 1 are cleaned. The scraper 605 can effectively remove the debris deposited in the water and send it to the water circulation filtration mechanism 5 for recycling and filtration, which can reduce the frequency and workload of manual maintenance.
