Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrostatic dust removal technology, and in particular to an acoustic dust blowing device for electrostatic dust collectors. Background Technology

[0002] Electrostatic precipitators in thermal power plants use a high-voltage electric field to ionize flue gas. Dust particles in the airflow become charged and separate from the airflow under the action of the electric field. However, after the electrostatic precipitator has been running for a period of time, dust particles will adhere to the collecting electrode and the corona electrode. When the amount of dust adhering to the electrode reaches a certain level, it will prevent the corona electrode from generating a corona, thereby reducing the dust collection efficiency and causing the electrostatic precipitator to malfunction.

[0003] The existing acoustic soot blowing devices for electrostatic precipitators still have the following problems:

[0004] The existing electrostatic precipitator's acoustic soot blowing device consumes a lot of compressed gas during operation, resulting in high energy costs. The simultaneous operation of multiple electric fields can easily generate acoustic interference, affecting the cleaning effect. Furthermore, it lacks an intelligent monitoring and feedback mechanism, making it impossible to automatically adjust parameters based on the actual cleaning effect.

[0005] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222267449U, which discloses an acoustic soot blowing device for an electrostatic precipitator. The electrostatic precipitator includes a dust removal chamber with several series-connected electric fields. The acoustic soot blowing device includes a compressed gas source, a resonant cavity high-intensity acoustic wave generator, an acoustic horn, and an adjustable valve. Several resonant cavity high-intensity acoustic wave generators are located at the top of each electric field. Each resonant cavity high-intensity acoustic wave generator is connected to the compressed gas source via a gas pipeline. The adjustable valve is connected to the input end of the resonant cavity high-intensity acoustic wave generator, and the acoustic horn is connected to the output end of the resonant cavity high-intensity acoustic wave generator. This invention uses the opening and closing of the adjustable valve to control the acoustic intensity and start / stop of the resonant cavity high-intensity acoustic wave generator, thereby achieving high flexibility in regulating the acoustic intensity of different electric fields. However, the device consumes a large amount of compressed gas during use, which may lead to excessive energy costs. The simultaneous operation of multiple electric fields can easily generate acoustic interference, affecting the dust removal effect. Furthermore, it lacks an intelligent monitoring and feedback mechanism and cannot automatically adjust parameters based on the actual dust removal effect. Utility Model Content

[0026] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model discloses an acoustic soot blowing device for an electrostatic precipitator, comprising a housing 1. A compressed gas source 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the housing 1. A main gas pipe 6 is provided on one side of the compressed gas source 5. Several branch pipes 9 of different lengths are provided on the main gas pipe 6. One end of each branch pipe 9 passes through the housing 1 and is fixedly mounted downwards with an intelligent control valve 12. A variable frequency resonant cavity acoustic generator 13 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the intelligent control valve 12. A directional acoustic horn 14 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the variable frequency resonant cavity acoustic generator 13. The directional acoustic horn 14 is located above the dust collecting electrode 10. The intelligent control valve 12 has built-in pressure and flow sensors, which can monitor gas parameters in real time and precisely adjust the opening according to the instructions of the controller 7, thereby achieving precise control of the gas flow rate entering the variable frequency resonant cavity acoustic generator 13. By precisely controlling the gas flow rate, gas waste is avoided and unnecessary energy consumption is reduced. The acoustic generator 13 can flexibly adjust its operating frequency and power to optimize acoustic parameters in real time according to the dust accumulation characteristics and working conditions of different electric fields, so that the acoustic energy can be applied to the dust accumulation layer more accurately, significantly improving the dust removal effect. The variable frequency resonant cavity acoustic generator 13 with different electric fields can be set with different operating frequencies. Combined with the directional acoustic wave transmission horn 14 and the variable frequency resonant cavity acoustic generator 13 with different lengths of bronchial pipes 9 to form an asymmetrical interval distribution, it can effectively avoid the resonance interference between acoustic waves at the same frequency, ensure that the propagation path of acoustic waves in each electric field is independent and controllable, and improve the uniformity of dust removal. The directional acoustic wave transmission horn 14 has a special acoustic wave guiding structure inside, which can concentrate the acoustic waves generated by the variable frequency resonant cavity acoustic generator 13 to propagate to a specific area, avoiding the disorderly diffusion of acoustic waves in the dust removal chamber. This allows the acoustic energy to be applied accurately to dust collection electrode 10 and corona electrode 11, which are prone to dust accumulation, effectively improving the dust removal effect and reducing the dust removal blind zone caused by the dispersion of acoustic energy.

[0028] An air inlet 2 is provided on the left side of the housing 1, and an air outlet 4 is provided on the right side of the housing 1. A dust hopper 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 1, and a dust discharge port 3 is provided at the bottom of the dust hopper 15. Several dust collecting electrodes 10 are fixedly installed inside the housing 1. Several corona electrodes 11 are provided on one side of each of the dust collecting electrodes 10. An acoustic monitoring module 8 is provided at the top of each of the dust collecting electrodes 10. The working principle of the dust collecting electrodes 10 and the corona electrodes 11 is that the dust in the airflow is charged and separated from the airflow under the action of the electric field. The process of collecting charged dust is as follows: a high-voltage direct current is used to maintain an electric field sufficient to ionize the gas on the metal anode and cathode. The anions and cations generated after the gas ionization are adsorbed on the dust passing through the electric field, so that the dust gains a charge. Dust particles with different polarities move towards the electrodes of different polarities under the action of the electric field force and are deposited on the electrodes, thereby achieving the purpose of separating dust and gas. After the electrostatic precipitator has been running for a period of time, the dust will adhere to the dust collecting electrode 10 and the corona electrode 11.

[0029] A controller 7 is installed on the front of the housing 1. The controller 7 is electrically connected to the intelligent control valve 12, the frequency-converted resonant cavity acoustic wave generator 13, and the acoustic wave monitoring module 8. The acoustic wave monitoring module 8 collects parameters such as the intensity, frequency, and propagation direction of acoustic waves in each electric field in real time and transmits the data to the controller 7. The controller 7 then analyzes and processes the data through the preset program and algorithm set in the system settings. Based on the analysis results, it sends instructions to the intelligent control valve 12 and the frequency-converted resonant cavity acoustic wave generator 13 to precisely adjust the gas flow rate, the operating frequency and power of the acoustic wave generator. The intelligent control valve 12 is equipped with a device with internal pressure and flow sensors. The intelligent control valve 12 has built-in pressure and flow sensors, which can monitor gas parameters in real time and precisely adjust the opening degree according to the instructions of the intelligent control system to achieve precise control of the gas flow rate entering the frequency-converted resonant cavity acoustic wave generator 13.

[0030] Working principle: When an acoustic soot blowing device for an electrostatic precipitator is put into use, after the electrostatic precipitator has been running for a period of time, when the amount of dust adhering to the dust collecting electrode 10 and the corona electrode 11 reaches a certain level, causing the corona electrode 11 to stop generating corona, thus reducing the dust collection efficiency, the controller 7 receives the acoustic wave parameters of the electric field in real time from the acoustic monitoring module 8, and precisely controls the working state of the intelligent control valve 12 and the frequency conversion resonant cavity acoustic wave generator 13. In conjunction with the directional acoustic wave transmission horn 14 for directional dust removal, the energy recovery system is used to reduce consumption, thereby achieving efficient, energy-saving and intelligent dust removal operation.

[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
