Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ash discharge in gas tanks, specifically to a device for unblocking ash discharge pipelines in gas tanks. Background Technology

[0002] In the relevant settings of the gas box, due to the high alkali metal content in the ash discharge pipe, coupled with the particulate matter carried by the gas flow staying in the lower part of the box for a long time, it is very easy to cause ash accumulation and caking in the lower part of the gas box, resulting in blockage. This prevents normal ash discharge and conveying, requiring shutdown for cleaning and unblocking, causing unplanned shutdown of the blast furnace and partial shutdown of continuous production, increasing labor costs and reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application proposes a device for unclogging a gas box ash discharge pipe, comprising:

[0004] Gas box body;

[0005] An ash discharge pipe is connected to the gas box body, and a nitrogen pipe is also provided on the ash discharge pipe;

[0007] The connection between the nitrogen pipeline and the ash discharge pipeline is set with an oblique interface.

[0008] According to a preferred embodiment, the nitrogen pipeline is provided with an installation interface that matches the nitrogen backflushing valve, and the installation interface is a flange.

[0009] According to a preferred embodiment, the ash discharge pipe is also equipped with a flow meter.

[0010] According to a preferred embodiment, the flow meter is also connected to an indicator light, and the flow meter is set to control the indicator light to emit a bright display when the flow rate exceeds a preset metering level.

[0011] Furthermore, the ash unloading pipe is connected to the gas box at an angle.

[0018] In the relevant settings of the gas box, due to the high alkali metal content in the ash discharge pipe, coupled with the particulate matter carried by the gas flow staying in the lower part of the box for a long time, it is very easy to cause ash accumulation and caking in the lower part of the gas box, resulting in blockage. This prevents normal ash discharge and conveying, requiring shutdown for cleaning and unblocking, causing unplanned shutdown of the blast furnace and partial shutdown of continuous production, increasing labor costs and reducing production efficiency.

[0019] Therefore, this application proposes a device for clearing blockages in the ash discharge pipe of a gas tank. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the various embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of this application to enable readers to better understand this application.

However, those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments may be practiced without one or more of these specific details.

It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings are not intended to limit the scope of this application, but are merely for illustrating the essential spirit of the technical solution of this application.

[0023] Throughout this specification, references to "an embodiment" or "an embodiment" indicate that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Therefore, the appearance of "in an embodiment" or "an embodiment" in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic may be combined in any manner in one or more embodiments.

[0024] Specifically, in one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, this application proposes a device for unclogging the ash discharge pipe 2 of a gas tank 1, comprising:

[0025] A gas tank 1 is provided, with an ash discharge pipe 2 connected to its upper part. A nitrogen pipe 3 is installed on the ash discharge pipe 2, and a nitrogen backflushing valve 31 is installed on the nitrogen pipe 3. The nitrogen pipe 3 is connected to an external nitrogen source.

[0026] During operation, when ash accumulates and becomes clogged at the bottom of the gas tank 1, workers can open the nitrogen backflushing valve 31 to allow nitrogen to flow from the nitrogen pipeline 3 into the ash discharge pipeline 2. Due to the high-speed flow and impact of the nitrogen, a strong reverse thrust is generated against the ash slag clogging the gas tank 1, thus dispersing the clogged ash slag and discharging it into the ash discharge pipeline 2, achieving the unclogging function. After unclogging is complete, the nitrogen backflushing valve 31 is closed, and the ash discharge pipeline 2 can resume normal ash discharge and conveying operations.

[0027] Furthermore, the connection between the nitrogen pipeline 3 and the ash discharge pipeline 2 adopts an oblique interface design, which allows the nitrogen to generate a more complex vortex after entering the ash discharge pipeline 2, further enhancing the flushing effect on the ash caking and improving the unblocking efficiency.

[0028] The high-speed reverse impact of nitrogen gas can quickly and effectively disperse and discharge accumulated ash, significantly shortening the unblocking time. Compared to traditional manual shutdown and ash removal methods, efficiency is increased several times, enabling timely restoration of the normal ash discharge function of the ash discharge pipe 2 and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the gas box 1 system. Simultaneously, it avoids the cumbersome operation of manually entering the gas box 1 for ash removal and unblocking, reducing personnel working time in harsh environments, lowering labor intensity and safety risks, and saving significant labor costs. Unblocking can be performed without shutting down the blast furnace, effectively reducing the number of unplanned blast furnace shutdowns and partial system downtime caused by ash discharge pipe 2 blockage, improving the overall operating rate and production efficiency of the production system, which is of great significance for the company's continuous production.

[0029] The unblocking device adopts a nitrogen pipeline 3 and a nitrogen backflushing valve 31. It has a simple structure and is easy to install. It requires little modification to the existing gas tank 1 and ash discharge pipeline 2 system, and is easy to promote and apply on gas tank 1 equipment of different sizes and types.

[0030] According to a preferred embodiment, the nitrogen pipeline 3 is provided with an installation interface that matches the nitrogen backflushing valve 31, and the installation interface is a flange. The sealing gasket can be a nitrogen-resistant and pressure-resistant gasket, such as a graphite gasket or a specially made rubber gasket. For the specific operation of placing the sealing gasket between the flanges, please refer to the general setup; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0031] According to a preferred embodiment, the ash discharge pipe 2 is further equipped with a flow meter 21 for monitoring the flow rate of ash and slag in the ash discharge pipe 2. The flow meter 21 is installed on the straight section of the ash discharge pipe 2, away from interference sources such as valves, to ensure measurement accuracy. The flow meter 21 can be selected according to the diameter and flow range of the ash discharge pipe 2, such as an electromagnetic flow meter or an ultrasonic flow meter. The flow meter 21 is connected to the ash discharge pipe 2 by flange, thread, or welding, and the sensor is inserted into the pipe to detect the flow rate of ash and slag.

[0032] Furthermore, the flow meter 21 is also connected to an indicator light 22. The flow meter 21 is set to activate the indicator light 22 when the flow rate exceeds a preset metering level, alerting the operator that a nitrogen backflushing operation can be performed. The combination of the flow meter 21 and the indicator light 22 enables intelligent monitoring and management of the flow rate in the ash discharge pipeline 2, reducing the workload and frequency of manual inspections and improving the scientific rigor and accuracy of management.

[0033] The ash discharge pipe 2 is connected to the housing at an angle, allowing the ash to flow more easily towards the pipe opening under gravity. The specific angle of inclination is determined based on the actual site and housing structure, preferably closer to the vertical side, thus maximizing space utilization compared to a horizontal arrangement. In other embodiments, a vibration device can be added to the ash discharge pipe 2. Periodic or continuous vibration causes the ash to jump or shake within the pipe, preventing deposition and caking, thus achieving a similar ash discharge promotion effect as an inclined pipe. However, this increases equipment complexity and maintenance workload, and is therefore only an alternative.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment, the number of ash discharge pipes 2 is greater than or equal to one, and each ash discharge pipe 2 is equipped with a nitrogen pipe 3. Multiple ash discharge pipes 2 operate simultaneously, greatly increasing the coverage and efficiency of the unblocking operation. When one ash discharge pipe 2 becomes blocked, the other pipes can continue to operate, ensuring a certain ash discharge capacity. Simultaneously, the nitrogen backflushing valve 31 quickly clears the blockage, reducing system downtime and improving production efficiency.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the number of ash discharge pipes 2 is 3, and each ash discharge pipe 2 is evenly distributed at a certain distance, that is, the interval angle between each ash discharge pipe 2 is 120°.

[0036] By comprehensively ensuring unblocking efficiency and installation costs, and by maintaining equal spacing, optimal ash unloading effect is achieved. Each ash unloading pipe 2 is equipped with a nitrogen pipe 3 and a nitrogen backflushing valve 31, and their installation and connection methods are the same as described above. The setting of multiple ash unloading pipes 2 increases the redundancy of the system. Even if one or two pipes fail, the remaining pipes can still maintain basic ash unloading functions, ensuring the normal operation of the gas tank 1, reducing the risk of the entire system shutting down due to a single point of failure, and improving the reliability and stability of the entire production system.

[0037] The above provides a detailed description of a blockage-clearing device for an ash discharge pipe in a gas tank, as provided in the embodiments of this application. The various embodiments are described in a progressive manner, with each embodiment focusing on its differences from other embodiments. Similar or identical parts between embodiments can be referred to interchangeably.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this application without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.

[0038] Those skilled in the art will further recognize that the units and algorithm steps of the various examples described in conjunction with the embodiments disclosed herein can be implemented in electronic hardware, computer software, or a combination of both. To clearly illustrate the interchangeability of hardware and software, the components and steps of the various examples have been generally described in terms of functionality in the foregoing description. Whether these functions are implemented in hardware or software depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art can use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered beyond the scope of this application.
