AI Technical Summary
In existing waste heat boilers, after coke falls off the furnace top, the ash hopper and water-cooled wall structure cause damage to the scraper conveyor and water-cooled wall, resulting in unsafe boiler operation.
A cold ash hopper is connected to a sealed sand trough, and a sealing ring made of glass fiber and high-temperature refractory cotton is used as a flexible connection. Sand and silicate coating are filled between the sealed sand trough and the water-cooled wall to increase the expansion distance and buffer the impact force.
It effectively prevents water-cooled wall deformation and leakage and scraper conveyor damage, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the waste heat boiler.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ash collection devices, specifically relating to an ash collection device for the convection zone of a waste heat boiler. Background Technology
[0002] During the operation of the waste heat boiler, due to furnace conditions and material composition, significant coking occurs at the boiler top. This coking, upon falling, damages the inlet water-cooled wall and ash hopper of the convection zone: water-cooled wall deformation, ash hopper cracking, and scraper conveyor subsidence. Therefore, to ensure the safe and stable operation of the top-blown waste heat boiler, it is necessary to optimize the structure of the convection zone water-cooled wall, ash hopper, and scraper conveyor. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model provides an ash collection device for the convection zone of a waste heat boiler, which aims to solve the problem that in the existing ash hopper and water-cooled wall structure, after coke falls from the furnace top, it directly acts on the ash hopper and the scraper conveyor below the ash hopper, causing damage to the scraper conveyor and the water-cooled furnace tubes, resulting in unsafe operation of the waste heat boiler.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A waste heat boiler convection zone ash collection device includes a cold ash hopper, a sealed sand trough is provided above the cold ash hopper and the two are connected by a flange, a water-cooled wall is provided at the top of the sealed sand trough, a flexible connection is provided at the bottom of the cold ash hopper, and a scraper conveyor is provided below the flexible connection and the two are fixedly connected.
[0006] Furthermore, the flexible connection adopts a sealing ring strip, the sealing ring strip being made of glass fiber and high-temperature refractory cotton, and the two ends of the flexible connection are connected to the cold ash hopper by bolts and pressure strips.
[0007] Furthermore, the sealing sand tank and the water-cooled wall are sealed by filling with sand and silicate coating.
[0008] Furthermore, an expansion distance of 50-80 mm is provided between the flexible connection and the scraper conveyor.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] This utility model is mainly applied to vertical waste heat boiler systems. It changes the connection method and structure between the cold ash hopper, the upper water-cooled wall, and the lower scraper conveyor, and increases the buffer distance for coke impact on the cold ash hopper to prevent a large number of coke blocks from impacting the water-cooled fireplace tubes and scraper conveyor chains, thus eliminating the risk of deformation and leakage of the water-cooled fireplace tubes or damage to the scraper conveyor. After completion, it can achieve the goal of safe and stable operation of the waste heat boiler scraper conveyor and water-cooled wall. Attached Figure Description

[0012] In the diagram: 1-Water-cooled wall, 2-Sealed sand trough, 3-Grid screen beam, 4-Cold ash hopper, 5-Flexible connection, 6-Scraper conveyor. Detailed Implementation
[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, a waste heat boiler convection zone ash collection device includes a cold ash hopper 4, a sealing sand trough 2 above the cold ash hopper 4, and the two are connected by a flange; the top of the sealing sand trough 2 is provided with a water-cooled wall 1 and a grid screen beam 3, the bottom of the cold ash hopper 4 is provided with a flexible connection 5, and a scraper conveyor 6 is provided below the flexible connection 5, and the two are fixedly connected; specifically, the flexible connection 5 adopts a sealing ring belt, and the sealing ring belt is made of glass fiber and high-temperature refractory cotton. The two ends of the flexible connection 5 are connected to the cold ash hopper 4 by bolts and pressure strips.
[0015] In addition, the sealing sand tank 2 and the water-cooled wall 1 are sealed by filling with sand and silicate coating; the flexible connection 5 and the scraper conveyor 6 are provided with an expansion distance of 50-80 mm.
[0016] This invention changes the connection between the ash hopper and the scraper conveyor and water-cooled wall to a flexible connection, and adds a screen beam at the ash hopper inlet. This prevents impact damage to the scraper conveyor and water-cooled wall caused by the ash hopper under stress, and the screen beam, connected to the steel structure of the plant, reduces the probability of coke impacting the equipment, thus improving the safe and stable operation of the waste heat boiler scraper conveyor and water-cooled wall. Furthermore, the ash hopper is made of ordinary carbon steel, facilitating maintenance in case of burn-out or cracking; and the flexible connection effectively mitigates impact during coke shedding, while also increasing its height.
