Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of grate cooler technology, and more particularly to a scraping device for a grate cooler. Background Technology
[0002] The grate cooler mainly consists of clinker piled on a trough-shaped movable grate bed, which is then conveyed forward as the grate bed moves. The grate bed is typically operated with a thick layer of clinker, through which cold air is passed for cooling. The movement of the grate bed involves multiple rows of grates simultaneously extending, while individual rows of grates alternately retract, resulting in efficient material conveying.
[0003] However, grate coolers inevitably have the problem of excessively thick dead material zones on the grate. When the total thickness of the material layer is fixed, the clinker in the dead material zone can move with the grate but cannot be transported away. When the dead material zone occupies a certain height of clinker, it will inevitably reduce the effective height of clinker transport and reduce the heat exchange time between hot materials and cold air.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a scraping device for grate coolers to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a scraping device for a grate cooler, which aims to reduce the coverage of the dead material zone on the grate bed and improve the clinker conveying efficiency of the grate cooler.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A scraping device for a grate cooler comprises multiple segmented beams, multiple sealing beams, multiple grate plates, multiple drive cylinders, multiple first scrapers, multiple supports, and multiple second scrapers. The multiple segmented beams are arranged side-by-side along the clinker conveying direction. Multiple sealing beams are spaced apart on both sides of the top of corresponding segmented beams, with their ends fixedly connected to an external frame. Multiple grate plates are fixedly arranged between adjacent sealing beams. Multiple drive cylinders are located at the bottom of corresponding segmented beams, and their output ends are fixedly connected to the corresponding segmented beams. Multiple first scrapers are fixedly arranged on the segmented beams along the clinker conveying direction. Multiple supports are staggered along the clinker conveying direction on the top of corresponding segmented beams and positioned between pairs of grate plates, with the thickness of the supports matching the thickness of the corresponding first scrapers. Multiple second scrapers are fixedly arranged on the top of corresponding supports, and the length of the multiple second scrapers is greater than or equal to the sum of the lengths of adjacent grate plates.
[0008] Furthermore, the length direction of the support is consistent with the parallel direction of the multiple beam sections, the width direction of the multiple grates is consistent with the length direction of the support, and the multiple first scrapers are equally spaced along the length direction of the beam sections and are staggered between the corresponding grates along the length direction of the beam sections.
[0009] Furthermore, the multiple second scrapers include vertical sections and inclined sections;
[0010] The vertical section is fixedly installed on the side of the support closer to the clinker conveying direction, and the length of the vertical section is the same as the length of the support.
[0011] The inclined section is fixedly installed at the top of the vertical section, and the top end face of the inclined section is inclined from front to back from the clinker conveying direction.
[0012] Furthermore, multiple flexible grate bars are spaced apart on the bottom side of the vertical section away from the support, and the ends of the multiple flexible grate bars away from the vertical section abut against the surface of the grate plate.
[0013] Furthermore, a mounting groove is recessed on the side of the vertical section near the support, and a screw is provided on the support along the clinker conveying direction. The screw passes through the support and extends into the mounting groove, and its circumference is threadedly connected to the mounting groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the vertical section and the inclined section are integrally formed structures.

[0016] In this application, the first scraper is fixedly mounted on the segment beam along the clinker conveying direction. The periodic movement of the segment beam scrapes away the surface clinker, preventing local accumulation.

[0024] Combination Figures 1-3As shown, a scraping device for a grate cooler is characterized by comprising multiple segmented beams 10, multiple sealing beams 18, multiple grate plates 11, multiple drive cylinders 12, multiple first scrapers 13, multiple supports 14, and multiple second scrapers 15; the multiple segmented beams 10 are arranged side by side along the clinker conveying direction; the multiple sealing beams 18 are spaced apart on both sides of the top of the corresponding segmented beams 10, and their ends are fixedly connected to an external frame; the multiple grate plates 11 are fixedly arranged between adjacent sealing beams 18; and the multiple drive cylinders 12 are arranged at the bottom of the corresponding segmented beams 10. The clinker section has multiple drive cylinders 12 whose output ends are fixedly connected to the corresponding section beams 10; multiple first scrapers 13 are fixedly mounted on the section beams 10 along the clinker conveying direction; multiple supports 14 are staggered along the clinker conveying direction on the top of the corresponding section beams 10 and placed between each pair of grate plates 11, and the thickness of the multiple supports 14 is the same as the thickness of the corresponding first scrapers 13; multiple second scrapers 15 are fixedly mounted on the top of the corresponding supports 14, and the length of the multiple second scrapers 15 is greater than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the adjacent grate plates 11.
[0025] In the above scheme, the first scraper 13 is fixedly mounted on the segment beam 10 along the clinker conveying direction. When the drive cylinder 12 drives the segment beam 10 to move horizontally, the first scraper 13 moves relative to the segment beam 10, and its end face moves relative to the surface of the grate 11, thereby scraping off the clinker adhering to the surface of the grate 11, preventing clinker from accumulating on the grate 11, and ensuring the air permeability of the grate 11 and the normal conveying of clinker. Multiple supports 14 are staggered on the top of the corresponding segment beams 10 and placed between pairs of grate 11 along the clinker conveying direction, and the thickness of the supports 14 is the same as the thickness of the corresponding first scraper 13. This not only provides installation support for the second scraper 15, but also enhances the structural strength and stability of the entire scraping device by its staggered arrangement, while ensuring the relative positional accuracy between the first scraper 13 and the second scraper 15. Multiple second scrapers 15 are fixedly mounted on the top of the corresponding supports 14, and the length of the second scraper 15 is greater than or equal to the sum of the lengths of the adjacent grate 11. The second scraper 15, building upon the scraping capability of the first scraper 13, further expands the scraping range, enabling the cleaning of a larger area of clinker. Due to its length design, the second scraper 15 can cover multiple adjacent grate plate 11 areas, ensuring effective scraping of clinker regardless of its location during transport. Specifically, when the odd-numbered column beams 10 move, the second scraper 15 simultaneously pushes the clinker on both the odd-numbered and adjacent even-numbered columns of grate plates 11; conversely, when the even-numbered column beams 10 move, the second scraper 15 simultaneously pushes the clinker on both the even-numbered and adjacent odd-numbered columns of grate plates 11, significantly improving clinker transport efficiency.
[0026] The length direction of the support 14 is consistent with the parallel direction of the multiple beam sections 10, the width direction of the multiple grate plates 11 is consistent with the length direction of the support 14, and the multiple first scrapers 13 are equally spaced along the length direction of the beam section 10 and are staggered between the corresponding grate plates 11 along the length direction of the beam section 10.
[0027] In the above scheme, multiple first scrapers 13 are evenly spaced along the length of the segment beam 10. This arrangement ensures that, in the clinker conveying direction, a scraper performs a scraping operation on the surface of the grate plate 11 at regular intervals. The evenly spaced arrangement of the first scrapers 13 makes the scraping action regular and continuous, enabling continuous and stable removal of clinker adhering to the surface of the grate plate 11, avoiding scraping dead corners or uneven scraping. The first scrapers 13 are staggered along the length of the segment beam 10 between corresponding grate plates 11. Since the distribution of clinker on the grate plate 11 may be uneven, the staggered arrangement of the first scrapers 13 can scrape the surface of the grate plate 11 from different positions and angles, increasing the contact range and scraping frequency between the scraper and the surface of the grate plate 11. When the drive cylinder 12 drives the segment beam 10 to move horizontally, the staggered second scrapers 15 can more comprehensively and thoroughly scrape the clinker on the grate plate 11, improving scraping efficiency.
[0028] The multiple second scrapers 15 include a vertical section 151 and an inclined section 152; the vertical section 151 is fixedly disposed on the side of the support 14 near the clinker conveying direction, and the length of the vertical section 151 is the same as the length of the support 14; the inclined section 152 is fixedly disposed on the top of the vertical section 151, and the top end face of the inclined section 152 is inclined from front to back from the clinker conveying direction.
[0029] In the above scheme, the vertical section 151 is the same length as the support 14, ensuring the matching of the second scraper 15 and the grate 11 structure, and avoiding material jamming due to dimensional deviations. The vertical section 151 is fixed on the side of the support 14 near the conveying direction, and can directly act on the front end of the dead material zone, forming an initial obstruction and guidance for the accumulated clinker. The inclined section 152 is set from the clinker conveying direction at the end face inclined from front to back, so that the clinker is gradually lifted and pushed backward along the inclined direction when the grate moves, preventing the pushed material from being carried back twice, breaking the static accumulation state of the dead material zone, and reducing the possibility of material backflow.
[0030] Multiple flexible grate bars 16 are spaced apart on the bottom side of the vertical section 151 away from the support 14, and the ends of the multiple flexible grate bars 16 away from the vertical section 151 abut against the surface of the grate plate 11.
[0031] In the above scheme, the flexible grate bars 16 on the side of the bottom of the vertical section 151 away from the support 14 are arranged at intervals. This avoids excessive scraping resistance caused by dense grate bars and covers the surface of the grate plate 11 through multi-point contact. The flexible material causes the grate bars to undergo elastic deformation when in contact with the grate plate 11. This can adapt to the uneven working conditions of the grate plate 11 surface and maintain contact pressure during the movement of the grate plate 11, thereby effectively scraping off the dead material attached to the grate plate 11. The design of the grate bar ends contacting the surface of the grate plate 11 ensures that the scraping action is directly applied to the working surface of the grate plate 11, avoiding the accumulation of material in the gaps of the grate plate 11, thereby improving the efficiency of clinker conveying.
[0032] The vertical section 151 has a recessed mounting groove on the side near the bracket 14. The bracket 14 is provided with a screw 17 along the clinker conveying direction. The screw 17 passes through the bracket 14 and extends into the mounting groove, and its circumference is threadedly connected to the mounting groove.
[0033] In the above solution, by setting an installation groove in the vertical section 151 of the second scraper 15 and forming a threaded connection with the screw 17 on the bracket 14, the bracket 14 and the second scraper 15 are double-fixed. The recessed installation groove allows the screw 17 to be accurately embedded inside the vertical section 151, and the radial tightening force generated by the threaded connection can offset the transverse shearing force generated by the reciprocating motion of the grate.
[0034] The vertical section 151 and the inclined section 152 are integrally formed structures.
[0035] The purpose of this design is that the one-piece molded structure eliminates assembly gaps or weak welding points that may exist in traditional split connections. It also ensures a more uniform stress distribution across the scraper, effectively preventing stress concentration and breakage risks at the joints when subjected to alternating loads from the pushing of the clinker layer and the movement of the grate. Furthermore, the one-piece molded second scraper 15 reduces the possibility of component loosening due to vibration, ensuring that the second scraper 15 maintains a stable geometry during long-term operation, thereby maintaining its continuous and effective scraping capability for materials in the dead zone.
