Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation are all within the protection scope of this utility model without creative effort.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a scale removal structure for the inner liner of a steam generator, including an inner liner shell 1. A bottom annular ring 2 is fixed to the bottom end of the inner liner shell 1, and an outwardly bent flange 3 is fixed to the bottom end of the bottom annular ring 2. An installation groove 8 is provided at the center line of the bottom plate of the inner liner shell 1, and the bottom plate of the inner liner shell 1 has an inclination or arc towards the installation groove 8, so that the free scale particles at the bottom of the inner liner shell 1 can move more easily to the installation groove 8. A V-shaped guide plate 7 is welded to the edge of the installation groove 8. A first scale removal hole 13 is provided on the bottom annular ring 2. The V-shaped guide plate 7 is welded to the edge of the first scale removal hole 13, and the other end of the V-shaped guide plate 7 is welded to the bottom annular ring 2. The height of the V-shaped guide plate 7 gradually decreases from the end welded to the bottom annular ring 2 to the end welded to the first scale removal hole 13, so that the two side plates of the V-shaped guide plate 7 have a certain inclination, thereby facilitating the removal of scale.

[0027] like Figures 1-7As shown, fire vents 15 are equidistantly provided on both side plates of the V-shaped guide plate 7. The fire vents 15 on the two side plates are staggered. A pipe 6 is provided between the fire vents 15 and the top wall of the inner shell 1. A pipe 6 is also provided between the bottom wall and the top wall of the inner shell 1. The pipe 6 in the figure is a schematic diagram. Its specific shape can be spiral or coiled, and its shape and position can be determined according to actual usage requirements. The top of the inner shell 1 is provided with necessary design components such as a water inlet and an exhaust port. Some components are not shown, and the specific position and structure of the components are subject to actual usage. The side of the inner shell 1 is provided with an opening 5, which is used for maintenance, etc. When not in use, it is sealed by a flange and sealing rubber.

[0028] Among them, the pipe 6 extends upward from the bottom. When the burner in the bottom ring 2 heats the bottom of the inner shell 1, the pipe 6 will act as a chimney, drawing some of the flames generated by the burner upward, forming a chimney effect, increasing the heating area and improving the heating efficiency.

[0029] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a drain shell 4 is fixed to the outer side of the bottom annular ring 2. The drain shell 4 is upside down on the outer side of the first scale discharge hole 13, and both ends of the drain shell 4 are welded to the inner shell 1 and the flange 3. A second scale discharge hole 14 communicating with the drain shell 4 is opened at the bottom of the flange 3. A pressure plate 10 is fixed to the bottom of the flange 3 by a fixing bolt assembly 9. The fixing bolt assembly 9 includes bolts and nuts. A high-temperature resistant sealing ring 11 is provided on the top of the pressure plate 10. After being fixed by the fixing bolt assembly 9, the high-temperature resistant sealing ring 11 seals the second scale discharge hole 14. A high-temperature resistant sealing block 12 is provided on the top of the high-temperature sealing ring 11. The high-temperature resistant sealing block 12 is inserted into the interior of the drain shell 4. The high-temperature resistant sealing ring 11 and the high-temperature resistant sealing block 12 are made of high-temperature resistant fluororubber, so that the high-temperature resistant sealing ring 11 and the high-temperature resistant sealing block 12 will not come into contact with the open flame in the bottom annular ring 2. The condition of the high-temperature resistant sealing ring 11 and the high-temperature resistant sealing block 12 should be checked regularly. If slight aging or deformation is found in the high-temperature resistant sealing ring 11 and the high-temperature resistant sealing block 12, they should be repaired or replaced in time.

[0030] Specific working principle:

[0031] In practical applications, commonly used scale inhibitors such as citric acid and trisodium phosphate can be selected. When scale removal is required, first stop the food steaming operation of the steam generator, then open the water inlet of the inner tank shell 1 and inject the prepared aqueous solution containing the scale inhibitor into the inner tank shell 1 until it is full. Next, start the heating device to raise the temperature of the aqueous solution to the optimal working temperature of the scale inhibitor, maintain this temperature for a period of time, and allow the scale to fully react with the scale inhibitor and fall off. After the temperature cools down to room temperature naturally, remove the seals of the high-temperature resistant sealing plug 12 and the high-temperature resistant sealing pressure ring 11, allowing the water in the inner tank shell 1 to flow out through the V-shaped guide plate 7 and the first scale removal hole 13, and flow downward through the drain shell 4. The scale is smoothly discharged through the slope of the mounting groove 8 and the slope of the V-shaped guide plate 7, thereby improving the scale removal efficiency.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
