Therefore, developing a new type of boiler fly ash sampling device has important practical significance. To this end, this application embodiment provides a boiler fly ash sampling device to improve sampling efficiency and accuracy. The following detailed description, in conjunction with specific accompanying drawings, illustrates the device in detail.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the boiler fly ash sampling device provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0033] exist Figure 1 This application provides a boiler fly ash sampling device, including: a sampling bucket 1, an air inlet pipe 2, an air extraction pipe 3, a filter cleaning mechanism, and an ash inlet control pipe 10.

[0034] The sampling bucket is equipped with a first air inlet channel 6 and a first air extraction channel 7.

[0040] Specifically, the beneficial effects of the boiler fly ash sampling device include:

[0041] Improve sampling efficiency

[0042] Rapid fly ash collection: The device is equipped with an air inlet pipe, an air extraction pipe, and a first air inlet channel and a first air extraction channel inside the sampling container. During the sampling process, the suction effect of the air extraction pipe creates a negative pressure inside the sampling container, causing the fly ash in the boiler flue to quickly enter the sampling container along the air inlet pipe and the first air inlet channel. This efficient airflow design significantly shortens the fly ash collection time. Compared with traditional sampling methods, it can obtain a sufficient amount of fly ash sample in a shorter time, improving the efficiency of the sampling work.

[0043] Automated processes simplify operation: The overall design of the device is reasonable, and all components work together to form a relatively automated sampling process. Operators only need to connect the corresponding pipelines and start the equipment to automatically complete the extraction and collection of fly ash, eliminating the need for excessive and tedious manual operations. This not only reduces manpower input but also avoids problems such as prolonged sampling time or sampling failures caused by improper manual operation, further improving sampling efficiency.

[0044] Improve sampling accuracy

[0045] A filter screen ensures sample purity: A filter screen is installed at one end of the first air extraction channel inside the sampling bucket. This design plays a crucial filtering role. When fly ash enters the sampling bucket with the airflow, the filter screen effectively intercepts the fly ash while allowing gas to pass through. This ensures that the collected fly ash sample is free of other impurities, such as dust particles and foreign objects from the flue, guaranteeing the purity of the fly ash sample. A pure sample can more accurately reflect the true condition of boiler fly ash, providing a reliable data foundation for subsequent analysis and research, thereby improving sampling accuracy.

[0046] Precise adjustment of the ash inlet control tube: The ash inlet control tube allows operators to precisely control the amount of fly ash entering the sampling bin according to actual needs. During sampling, adjusting the ash inlet control tube can prevent the accuracy of sampling results from being affected by too much or too little fly ash. For example, in some experiments or tests with strict requirements on fly ash content, precise control of the fly ash amount makes the sampling results more consistent with actual needs, greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of sampling.

[0047] Ensure stable equipment operation and extend its lifespan

[0048] Filter cleaning mechanism reduces clogging: The filter plays a crucial role in intercepting fly ash during sampling. However, as fly ash accumulates, the filter is prone to clogging, affecting sampling efficiency and even causing equipment failure. The filter cleaning mechanism equipped in this device can clean the filter in a timely manner, maintaining its permeability and ensuring smooth passage of air and fly ash. This avoids equipment malfunctions caused by filter clogging and guarantees the stable operation of the device.

[0049] Enhancing data reliability and usability

[0050] Accurately reflecting boiler operating conditions: Due to improved sampling efficiency and precision, the obtained fly ash samples can more accurately reflect the characteristics of fly ash during boiler combustion, such as key indicators like particle size distribution and carbon content. This accurate data is crucial for evaluating boiler combustion efficiency, adjusting combustion parameters, and optimizing boiler operation, providing strong support for energy conservation, emission reduction, and efficient boiler operation.

[0051] In one specific implementation scheme, the filter cleaning mechanism includes a first mounting block 12, an impeller 13, and a cleaning plate 14, wherein,

[0052] The first mounting block is provided with a second air extraction channel 15, which is connected to the first air extraction channel;

[0053] The impeller is disposed within the second air extraction channel;

[0054] The impeller is used to drive the dust removal plate.

[0055] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: utilizing the airflow to drive the impeller in the second extraction channel, eliminating the need for an additional power source, thus saving energy and increasing efficiency. The impeller rotation drives the cleaning plate to work, which can promptly remove fly ash from the filter screen, preventing filter screen blockage, ensuring smooth airflow in the sampling bucket, ensuring continuous and stable fly ash sampling, maintaining sampling efficiency and accuracy, extending filter screen life, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0056] In one possible implementation, the first mounting block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sampling bucket.

[0057] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: First, the structure is robust, effectively resisting airflow impact and vibration during sampling, ensuring stable operation of all components. Second, it facilitates overall layout, reduces space occupation, and makes the device more compact. Third, it promotes airflow conduction, ensuring smooth connection between the second and first extraction channels, guaranteeing the normal operation of the filter cleaning mechanism, and thus maintaining the efficient and stable operation of the fly ash sampling device.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the impeller is rotatably connected to the first mounting block via a rotating shaft 16.

[0059] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: the rotating shaft enables the impeller to rotate around the first mounting block, resulting in a simple and reliable structure that allows the impeller to rotate stably and flexibly under the action of the suction airflow. Smooth rotation efficiently drives the cleaning plate, promptly cleaning the filter screen and preventing clogging, ensuring smooth airflow within the sampling bucket, maintaining normal fly ash sampling, improving sampling efficiency and accuracy, and facilitating later maintenance and component replacement, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0060] In one specific implementation, the dust removal plate is located inside the sampling bucket and is positioned opposite to the filter screen.

[0061] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: the cleaning plate and the filter screen are positioned opposite each other, and when the impeller drives the cleaning plate to move, it can directly and accurately clean the filter screen, effectively removing the fly ash accumulated on the filter screen and preventing filter screen blockage. This ensures smooth airflow within the sampling bucket, ensuring continuous and stable fly ash sampling, maintaining high sampling efficiency and accuracy, reducing sampling interruptions or errors caused by filter screen blockage, and improving the overall performance of the device.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the sampling bucket;

[0063] A crank-connecting rod mechanism 4 is provided on the rotating shaft.

[0064] The crank-connecting rod mechanism is connected to the cleaning plate and is used to drive the cleaning plate to reciprocate up and down.

[0065] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the sampling bucket and has a crank-connecting rod mechanism, which converts the rotation of the shaft into the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the cleaning plate. This motion allows the cleaning plate to thoroughly and efficiently clean the filter screen, avoiding cleaning dead corners and ensuring filter screen permeability. This maintains stable airflow within the sampling bucket, ensuring a continuous and stable entry of fly ash, improving sampling efficiency and accuracy, extending filter screen lifespan, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0066] In one specific implementation, the ash inlet control pipe is connected to the air inlet pipe;

[0067] The ash inlet control pipe is equipped with a baffle mechanism 11 for adjusting the fly ash flow rate.

[0068] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: the connection between the ash inlet control pipe and the air inlet pipe facilitates the regulation of the fly ash flow rate entering the sampling container. The internal baffle mechanism allows for flexible adjustment of the fly ash flow rate, enabling operators to precisely control the ash inlet amount according to actual needs, avoiding excessive or insufficient ash that could affect sampling results. This improves the accuracy and reliability of sampling, better meeting the fly ash requirements of different experiments or tests, and providing high-quality samples for subsequent analysis.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the extraction pipe is used to connect to an extraction pump.

[0070] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: the connection between the extraction pipe and the extraction pump creates a stable negative pressure environment, efficiently extracting gas from the sampling container and rapidly drawing in fly ash, significantly improving sampling efficiency. Simultaneously, precise negative pressure control helps stabilize the fly ash flow rate, ensuring accurate sampling volume and improving sampling precision. Furthermore, this connection method is simple in structure, easy to operate, and facilitates maintenance and replacement, reducing operating costs and improving the overall performance of the device.

[0071] In one specific implementation scheme, a return spring 5 is provided between the dust removal plate and the sampling bucket.

[0072] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: the return spring plays a role between the cleaning plate and the sampling bucket. After the cleaning plate moves under the drive of the crank-connecting rod mechanism, the return spring helps it to quickly return to its original position, ensuring that the cleaning plate moves continuously and rhythmically, effectively cleaning the filter screen. At the same time, it can buffer the impact force during the movement of the cleaning plate, reduce component wear, extend the service life of the device, and maintain the stability of the cleaning action, ensuring the smooth progress of sampling.

[0073] In one specific implementation, the bottom of the sampling bucket is detachably connected to the body of the sampling bucket via threads.

[0074] Specifically, the beneficial effects include: the bottom of the sampling bucket is detachably connected to the body via threads, facilitating regular cleaning of accumulated ash inside the bucket and preventing fly ash buildup from affecting sampling. After sampling, the bottom can be easily removed to retrieve the fly ash sample, making operation convenient. Furthermore, if the bucket body or bottom is damaged, it can be replaced individually, reducing maintenance costs, improving the practicality and economy of the device, and extending its overall service life.

[0075] Specifically, the working process of the boiler fly ash sampling device is as follows: When fly ash sampling is required, the sampling bucket is connected to the boiler through the first air inlet channel. The suction pump is started, and the air inside the sampling bucket is extracted from the first suction channel, while the gas inside the boiler enters the sampling bucket through the first air inlet channel. The filter screen set in the first suction channel can block the fly ash in the air, preventing the fly ash from moving out of the sampling bucket from the first suction channel. The blocked fly ash will fall into the sampling bottle located at the bottom of the sampling bucket under its own gravity. At the same time, when the suction pump extracts the air inside the sampling bucket from the first suction channel, the gas will flow in the second suction channel, driving the impeller to rotate. The rotation of the impeller drives the cleaning plate to reciprocate to clean the fly ash on the filter screen, reducing the fly ash accumulated on the filter screen and preventing fly ash from clogging the filter screen. Furthermore, by adjusting the baffle mechanism in the ash inlet control pipe, the amount of fly ash entering the sampling chamber is controlled, so as to achieve controllable sampling volume. After a certain amount of fly ash falls into the sampling bottle, the sampling bottle and sampling container can be separated to test the fly ash inside the sampling bottle.

[0076] The specific structure and control method of the controller are well-known technologies and will not be elaborated here.
