Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a horizontal waste heat boiler ash discharge system with a cyclone separator, including a mounting frame 110, a centrifugal separation mechanism 120 for separating large ash particles is provided on the top of the mounting frame 110, a secondary ash hopper 130 is fixedly installed inside the mounting frame 110 for temporary storage of ash, a discharge pipe 140 is connected to the bottom of the secondary ash hopper 130, and a discharge valve 150 is provided on the surface of the discharge pipe 140.

[0026] The centrifugal separation mechanism 120 includes a cyclone separator 121, the input end of which is connected to a tangential ash inlet pipe 122, the top of which is provided with a central pipe 123, and the outlet of which is provided with a pneumatic slide valve 124 and a star-shaped ash discharge valve 125.

[0027] The air inlet of the tangential ash inlet pipe 122 is equipped with a quick-connection mechanism 160.

[0028] The cyclone separator 121 is used to discharge large ash particles into the secondary ash hopper 130 to prevent them from entering the subsequent fan with the flue gas, causing blade wear and reducing the fan's service life. The secondary ash hopper 130 is used to recycle and utilize large ash particles, improving the utilization rate of ash. The central pipe 123 is used for the fine ash outlet. The cooperation between the pneumatic slide valve 124 and the star-shaped ash discharge valve 125 can realize continuous ash discharge.

[0029] Specifically, the connecting mechanism 160 includes a connecting sleeve 161 connected to the end of the tangential ash inlet pipe 122, a connecting pipe 162 fixedly installed inside the connecting sleeve 161 and connected to the outlet of the ash conveying device, a plurality of first magnetic blocks 163 embedded inside the connecting sleeve 161, and a second magnetic block 164 embedded at the end of the connecting pipe 162 and used in conjunction with the first magnetic blocks 163.

[0030] The first magnetic block 163 and the second magnetic block 164 cooperate to magnetically attract the connecting pipe 162 inside the connecting sleeve 161, which facilitates the quick connection between the outlet of the ash conveying device and the tangential ash inlet pipe 122.

[0031] Furthermore, a sealing ring 165 is fitted on the outer surface of the connecting pipe 162 to increase the sealing performance.

[0032] The sealing ring 165 is used to increase the sealing of the connecting pipe 162 when it is inserted into the connecting sleeve 161, so as to prevent dust from leaking out.

[0033] Preferably, a threaded sleeve 166 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the connecting pipe 162, and the threaded sleeve 166 is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve 161.

[0034] The threaded sleeve 166 is used to enhance the stability of the end of the connecting pipe 162 installed inside the connecting sleeve 161, and to prevent the connecting pipe 162 from falling off.

[0035] Furthermore, the inner wall of the cyclone separator 121 is coated with a silicon carbide wear-resistant layer, and the thickness of the wear-resistant layer is eight millimeters.

[0036] Among them, the silicon carbide wear-resistant layer is used to improve the wear resistance of the inner wall of the cyclone separator 121, so as to avoid large particles of ash and slag from scratching and damaging the inner wall of the cyclone separator 121.

[0037] Furthermore, the surface of the secondary ash hopper 130 is connected to a differential pressure balancing pipe, and the other end of the differential pressure balancing pipe is connected to the boiler flue. The differential pressure balancing pipe is used to maintain the stability of the negative pressure of the system.

[0038] During use, after ash accumulates in the boiler ash hopper, the ash is pressurized and transported by the ash conveying device, and enters the cyclone separator 121 through the connecting pipe 162 and the tangential ash inlet pipe 122. Large ash particles rotate and fall down along the wall of the cyclone separator 121 into the interior of the secondary ash hopper 130. The ash inside the secondary ash hopper 130 is periodically discharged and packaged, while fine ash is returned to the boiler flue through the central pipe 123.

[0039] In summary, the cyclone separator 121 is used to discharge large particles of ash into the secondary ash hopper 130 to prevent them from entering the subsequent fan with the flue gas, causing blade wear and reducing the fan's service life. The secondary ash hopper 130 is used to recycle and utilize large particles of ash, improving the utilization rate of ash.

For example, an element shown as integrally formed may be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of elements may be inverted or otherwise altered, and the nature or number or position of discrete elements may be changed or altered.
