Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nozzle maintenance technology, specifically a forced sealing structure for a disc-type constant speed nozzle used in a deaerator. Background Technology

[0002] Nozzle devices, especially those used in deaerators of large power plants, are used to fully atomize and deoxygenate condensate before it enters the deaerator equipment. Condensate inevitably contains impurities such as welding slag, metal fragments, and debris; therefore, cleaning of nozzle devices and maintenance and repair of filter devices are frequently required during unit shutdowns for maintenance.

[0003] Routine equipment cleaning, filter inspection, and maintenance require the removal of external connecting pipelines and the removal of the inlet flange cover before these operations can be carried out. The removal of pipelines and flange covers necessitates the use of overhead cranes or electric hoists (each part weighs approximately 300 kg), and involves the removal of a significant number of studs. For example, in a megawatt-class power plant, a single deaerator in a thermal power unit requires two sets of nozzle assemblies, while a nuclear power unit requires four sets. Each nozzle assembly typically involves the removal and installation of approximately 60 studs.

[0004] In summary, traditional methods have the following shortcomings:

[0005] 1. The operation requires the use of lifting equipment, which needs to be pre-installed, resulting in high construction costs;

[0006] 2. The operation involves working at heights, which presents certain difficulties and safety hazards;

[0007] 3. The disassembly and assembly of too many studs is complicated, time-consuming, and costly.

[0008] 4. The flange part is the pressure-bearing boundary of the pressure vessel. After reinstallation, there may be leakage or other sealing failure problems, which pose a safety hazard.

[0009] 5. Since the sealing gaskets are disposable parts and cannot be reused, they must be replaced with new ones each time they are installed. Each nozzle device and pipeline requires two sealing gaskets, resulting in a large number of spare sealing gaskets, high procurement and management costs, and poor economic efficiency. Therefore, we propose a forced sealing structure for disc-type constant speed nozzles in deaerators to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0010] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a forced sealing structure for a disc-type constant speed nozzle for a deaerator, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing nozzle device requires the removal of the flange cover and bend assembly on the top of the nozzle device, the removal of the internal filter cartridge assembly, and the reinstallation after the task is completed. The disassembly and assembly process involves high-altitude operations, the use of lifting equipment, a large number of thread disassembly and assembly, replacement of sealing gaskets, and necessary sealing tests, which is a rather cumbersome process.

[0011] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a forced sealing structure for a disc-type constant speed nozzle in a deaerator, comprising a nozzle device, a filter inner cylinder provided on the inner wall of the nozzle device, an end cap installed at the end of the nozzle device, a sealing cap installed on the end face of the end cap, and the sealing cap being connected to the end cap and the filter inner cylinder by bolts around its perimeter, with twenty bolts provided, nuts installed at the connection between the bolts and the end cap, anti-loosening washers provided at the connection between the nuts and the end cap, and a handle installed on the outer wall of the sealing cap.

[0012] Preferably, a sludge collection tank assembly is provided on the inner wall of the sealing cover, and the sludge collection tank assembly is welded to the sealing cover.

[0013] Preferably, the rear end of the nozzle device is equipped with a water inlet device and a deaerator housing.

[0014] Preferably, the upper end of the nozzle device is provided with a condensate trap, one end of the condensate trap is provided with a condensate line, one end of the condensate trap is connected to the inlet device flange through the inlet device flange cover, and the condensate line is connected to the other end flange of the condensate trap through the condensate line flange.

[0015] Preferably, a first sealing gasket is provided between the flange of the water inlet device and the flange cover of the water inlet device, and the connection is secured with a second stud and a second nut. A second sealing gasket is provided between the condensate bend and the condensate pipeline, and the connection is secured with a third stud and a third nut.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention does not use the method of removing the system flange pipeline. Instead, it opens an inspection hole at the bottom end cover of the nozzle device, adds a sealing cover, handle, fasteners, etc., and is lightweight, with a maximum weight of no more than 20kg. It can be operated by a single person without the aid of other tools, and can be operated from inside the equipment, avoiding the risks of working at height. It uses a bolt-forced sealing structure, which is simple in structure, easy to operate, low in cost, has no vulnerable parts, and requires no spare parts. It can achieve the effect of easy sewage discharge and cleaning, convenient maintenance operation, and good sealing effect. It can be reused. It solves the problem that the existing nozzle device requires the removal of the flange cover and bend assembly on the top of the nozzle device, the removal of the internal filter cartridge assembly, and reinstallation after the task is completed. The disassembly and assembly process involves high-altitude work, the use of lifting equipment, a lot of thread disassembly and assembly, replacement of sealing gaskets, and necessary sealing tests, which is a relatively cumbersome process.

Nuts 4 are installed at the connection between the bolts 3 and the end cap 6, and anti-loosening washers 5 are provided at the connection between the nuts 4 and the end cap 6; a sludge collection tank assembly 7 is disposed on the inner wall of the sealing cap 2, and the sludge collection tank assembly 7 is welded to the sealing cap 2; the outer surface of the sealing cap 2... A handle 1 is installed on the wall. The rear end of the nozzle device 9 is installed on the water inlet device 10. The water inlet device 10 is installed on the deaerator housing 15. A condensate bend 16 is provided at the upper end of the nozzle device 9. A condensate line 21 is provided at one end of the condensate bend 16. One end of the condensate bend 16 is connected to the flange of the water inlet device 10 through the flange cover 11 of the water inlet device. The condensate line 21 is connected to the flange of the other end of the condensate bend 16 through the condensate line flange 17.
