Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slag treatment technology, specifically to a dynamically adjustable water seal device for an incinerator slag discharge machine. Background Technology

[0002] A ash discharger is a type of ash removal equipment used in waste incineration boilers. The ash produced after municipal solid waste is burned in the boiler is pushed by the grate into the ash discharger housing, where it is cooled and then pushed out into an external ash storage pool.

[0003] The function of the water seal in the incinerator ash discharge machine:

[0004] (1) The water seal forms a barrier, isolating the high-temperature, slightly negative-pressure environment inside the incinerator from the external environment. This prevents harmful gases (such as dioxins and dust) from leaking out of the incinerator, ensuring a safe and environmentally friendly operating environment.

[0005] (2) The slag discharged from the combustion section of the incinerator is extremely hot. The water in the water seal can quickly cool the slag, avoiding damage to the slag discharge equipment caused by the high temperature and the impact force when the slag falls. The cooled slag is easier to process and transport.

[0006] (3) When the residue falls into the water seal, the water can effectively suppress the dust, reduce particulate pollution in the air, and improve the working environment.

[0007] (4) The water seal prevents external air from entering the incinerator and thus avoids affecting the combustion conditions inside the furnace (such as oxygen concentration and temperature). At the same time, the water seal also prevents the negative pressure environment inside the incinerator from being disrupted, ensuring the stability of the incineration process.

[0008] Problems with existing slag removal machines

[0009] (1) The water seal line of the slag discharge machine is fixed and inconvenient to adjust, resulting in the moisture content of the slag at the slag discharge port at the rear end of the slag discharge machine being too high or too low.

[0010] (2) The type, calorific value, or amount of residue processed by the incinerator may fluctuate due to seasonal, regional, or raw material changes. The fixed-height water seal cannot flexibly adjust the liquid level, which may lead to insufficient cooling of the residue or failure of the seal. For example, when the amount of residue suddenly increases, the water level may be too low, which may cause the high-temperature residue to directly contact the slag discharger parts, causing equipment damage.

[0011] (3) The bottom of the water seal may become clogged due to long-term accumulation of residue or sludge. If the height cannot be adjusted, the machine must be stopped and the water seal drained during cleaning, which will affect the continuity of production. The accumulation of sediment may also corrode the water seal structure and shorten its service life.

[0012] (4) The fixed water seal height is difficult to cope with the wear or deformation after long-term operation of the equipment (such as the wear of the slag remover scraper causing the slag to fall off the position), which may lead to local seal failure and increase the risk of harmful gas leakage.

[0013] (5) When the water level is too high, the evaporation of water increases, and water needs to be replenished frequently, which increases the consumption of water resources and heat energy; when the water level is too low, additional cooling measures are needed to prevent the residue from overheating, which leads to energy waste.

[0014] (6) In the event of a sudden malfunction (such as scraper jamming leading to residue accumulation), it is impossible to buffer the impact or strengthen the seal by temporarily raising the water level, so the machine must be shut down, which increases production losses.

[0015] To address the aforementioned problems, a dynamically adjustable water seal device for the incinerator slag discharge machine is needed. Utility Model Content

[0016] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a dynamically adjustable water seal device for an incinerator slag discharge machine.

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model is: a dynamically adjustable water seal device for an incinerator slag remover, comprising a slag remover housing, the top of which is connected to a slag discharge shaft, a slag outlet on the right side of the housing, a swing arm mechanism on the upper left side of the housing, a hydraulic cylinder drive device for pushing the swing arm mechanism on the left side of the swing arm mechanism, a scraper frame below the swing arm mechanism, a scraper on the right side of the scraper frame, a water tank below the hydraulic cylinder drive device, a water supply pipe for connecting to an external water source and an electrode level switch for monitoring the liquid level on the top of the water tank, and a float valve and an overflow mechanism for controlling the liquid level inside the water tank.

[0018] Furthermore, the overflow mechanism includes a threaded sleeve, the lower outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank by a fastener, the top of which is threadedly connected to an overflow pipe, and the lower end of which is connected to a drain pipe.

[0019] Note: By rotating the overflow pipe, the height of the overflow pipe can be adjusted, thus adjusting the height of the water seal line.

[0020] Furthermore, the fastener includes an upper flange and a lower flange disposed on the outer wall of the threaded sleeve. The upper flange is located on the inner wall of the bottom of the water tank, and the lower flange is located on the outer wall of the bottom of the water tank. The upper flange and the lower flange are connected by a screw, and a sealing gasket is provided between the lower flange and the outer wall of the bottom of the water tank.

[0021] Note: The threaded sleeve is fixed by the upper and lower flanges, and the sealing gasket enhances the sealing between the lower flange and the water tank.

[0022] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder driving device includes a drive base, and a hydraulic cylinder is obliquely hinged above the drive base. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the swing arm mechanism.

[0023] Explanation: The extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder drives the swing arm mechanism to scrape the waste residue from the bottom of the slag remover box.

[0024] Furthermore, the swing arm mechanism includes a bearing fixed to the top of the slag remover housing and a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bearing. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft via a connector, and the lower part of the fixing rod is fixed to the scraper frame.

[0025] Explanation: The fixed rod is pushed by the hydraulic cylinder, which in turn drives the entire swing arm mechanism to rotate around the rotating shaft, thereby causing the scraper frame to move to the right so that the scraper can scoop out the waste residue from the bottom of the slag removal machine box.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] This invention designs the water seal overflow pipe of the incinerator ash discharge machine as a threaded, height-adjustable design, thereby achieving adjustment of the water seal liquid level. Simultaneously, the lower end of the ash discharge shaft is designed with a lower elevation, which increases the range of water seal adjustment. The advantages of an adjustable water seal line are as follows:

[0028] (1) Adapt flexibly to changes in working conditions

[0029] By adjusting the water seal height, the liquid level can be optimized for different waste calorific values, residue amounts, or seasonal variations. Example: In winter, when the residue temperature is low, the water level is lowered to reduce evaporation; in summer, when the temperature is high, the water level is raised to enhance cooling.

[0030] (2) Enhance sealing and safety

[0031] The water seal height is dynamically adjusted to ensure that the liquid level always covers the residue falling area, preventing the leakage of harmful gases. It can cope with the deviation of the residue trajectory caused by equipment wear or deformation, maintaining a long-term sealing effect.

[0032] (3) Extend equipment life

[0033] By adjusting the water level, the impact of falling residue is buffered, reducing wear on mechanical components such as scrapers and chains. Direct contact between hot residue and equipment is avoided, minimizing thermal stress damage.

[0034] (4) Reduce maintenance costs and downtime

[0035] When clearing sediment, the water level can be temporarily lowered to expose the bottom, eliminating the need to completely drain the water seal and shortening maintenance time. The adjustment function can slow down the rate of siltation and reduce the frequency of cleaning.

[0036] (5) Energy conservation and resource optimization

[0037] Adjust the water level according to actual needs to reduce unnecessary water replenishment and evaporation losses, thereby reducing water consumption. Precisely control cooling efficiency to avoid energy waste caused by excessive cooling.

[0038] (6) Enhance emergency response capabilities

[0039] In the event of a sudden malfunction, the water level can be quickly raised to form a buffer layer, temporarily isolating the affected area and buying time for repairs. For example, if the scraper is stuck, raising the water level can prevent residue from accumulating and clogging the slag discharge port. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The overflow mechanism 74 includes a threaded sleeve 741. The lower outer wall of the threaded sleeve 741 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 7 via a fastener 742.
