Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pyrolysis rotary kiln technology, and in particular to a pyrolysis rotary kiln feed screw. Background Technology
[0002] Rotary kilns are commonly used equipment for coal pyrolysis. After coal is fed into the rotary kiln by the feed screw, it first undergoes a drying stage (the temperature is usually below 200℃). At this time, the free water and some bound water in the coal evaporate, forming low-temperature dry gas mainly composed of water vapor. Since rotary kilns usually adopt counter-current operation (the gas flow direction is opposite to the material movement direction), the dry gas will naturally flow towards the kiln head (feed end) where the temperature is lower. To ensure timely discharge of drying gas and normal material flow, a cavity communicating with the interior of the rotary kiln is typically provided on the shaft of the feed screw. A through hole communicating with the cavity is provided on the shaft below the feed inlet of the feed screw. The drying gas generated during coal pyrolysis first enters the interior of the shaft, then exits through the through hole into the interior of the feed screw, and finally exits the system through the feed inlet. However, in the above process, the pyrolysis gas comes into large-area contact with the raw coal inside the feed screw, forming water accumulation. The raw coal can also easily enter the cavity of the shaft and directly contact the drying gas inside, causing the cavity to become blocked. This results in poor gas guiding effect, ineffective discharge of drying gas, and increased heat loss during pyrolysis. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feed screw for a pyrolysis rotary kiln to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
[0004] This utility model is implemented by the following technical solution: a pyrolysis rotary kiln feed screw, comprising a shell, a rotating shaft, a feeding drive, and helical blades. The rotating shaft is rotatably disposed inside the shell. The feeding drive is fixed at one end of the shell, and the output shaft of the feeding drive is drivingly connected to the end of the adjacent rotating shaft. The other end of the shell is a discharge port, and the discharge port is rotatably connected to the feed port of the rotary kiln. Helical blades are fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft inside the shell. The other end of the rotating shaft extends into the interior of the rotary kiln, and the interior of the rotating shaft is provided with... The other end of the rotating shaft is connected to a cavity; several through holes communicating with the cavity are provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft inside the housing away from the discharge port; an exhaust port is connected to the top of the housing above the several through holes; an inlet port is connected to the top of the housing adjacent to the exhaust port; an internal rotating shaft is rotatably arranged inside the cavity; an internal spiral blade with its outer edge in movable contact with the inner wall of the cavity is fixed on the outer wall of the internal rotating shaft; the outer end of the internal rotating shaft extends to the outside of the cavity, and the outer end of the internal rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the inside of the rotary kiln through a connecting rod.
[0005] Furthermore, the spiral blade includes a first spiral blade and a second spiral blade, the middle part of the rotating shaft is a non-spiral part, the first spiral blade and the second spiral blade are respectively fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft on both sides of the non-spiral part, and the second spiral blade is arranged adjacent to the discharge port; the feed port is located above the first spiral blade.
[0006] The advantages of this invention are as follows: An internal rotating shaft and internal spiral blades are added inside the cavity. The rotary kiln drives the internal rotating shaft and internal spiral blades to rotate, thereby pushing the dust accumulated in the cavity to the through-hole, and finally discharging it into the shell through the through-hole. This solves the problem of blockage in the air-guiding cavity, ensures effective air guidance, allows the dry gas to be discharged in a timely manner, and reduces heat loss. Furthermore, the middle part of the feed screw shaft is designed as a spiral-free section. During the conveying of pulverized coal, a material seal can be formed at this part, preventing the dry gas from directly entering the shell through the outlet and then discharging through the exhaust port. This avoids large-area gas-solid contact heat exchange and reduces heat loss. Attached Figure Description

[0011] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0012] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a pyrolysis rotary kiln feed screw includes a shell 1, a rotating shaft 2, a feeding drive 3, and spiral blades. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably disposed inside the shell 1. The feeding drive 3 is fixed at one end of the shell 1, and its output shaft is connected to the end of the adjacent rotating shaft 2. The other end of the shell 1 is a discharge port 4, which is rotatably connected to the feed port of the rotary kiln 5. Spiral blades are fixed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2 inside the shell 1. The spiral blades include a first spiral blade 11 and a second spiral blade 12. The middle part of the rotating shaft 2 is a non-spiral part 23. The first spiral blade 11 and the second spiral blade 12 are fixed on the outer walls of the rotating shaft 2 on both sides of the non-spiral part 23, and the second spiral blade 12 is arranged adjacent to the discharge port 4. The feed port 7 is located above the first spiral blade 11. The through-hole 22 and the non-spiral section 23 are located on both sides of the feed inlet 7. After the coal powder enters the left shell 1 through the feed inlet 7, it is pushed to the non-spiral section 23 by the first spiral blade 11 until the non-spiral section 23 is filled with coal powder. As coal powder is continuously added, the coal powder in the non-spiral section 23 is pushed to the right shell 1 and pushed to the right by the second spiral blade 12, and finally enters the rotary kiln through the discharge port 4. In the above process, the coal powder in the non-spiral section 23 can form a material seal, which prevents the dry gas from directly entering the shell 1 through the discharge port 4 and then being discharged through the exhaust port 6. This can avoid large-area gas-solid contact heat exchange and reduce heat loss.
[0013] The other end of the rotating shaft 2 extends into the interior of the rotary kiln 5, and the interior of the rotating shaft 2 is provided with a cavity 21 that communicates with the other end of the rotating shaft 2; a number of through holes 22 communicating with the cavity 21 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2 inside the shell 1 away from the discharge port 4; an exhaust port 6 is connected to the top of the shell 1 above the number of through holes 22; a feed port 7 is connected to the top of the shell 1 adjacent to the exhaust port 6; an internal rotating shaft 8 is rotatably arranged inside the cavity 21; an internal spiral blade 9 with its outer edge in movable contact with the inner wall of the cavity 21 is fixed on the outer wall of the internal rotating shaft 8; the outer end of the internal rotating shaft 8 extends to the outside of the cavity 21, and the outer end of the internal rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the interior of the rotary kiln 5 through a connecting rod 10.
[0014] After entering the cavity 21 through the other end of the rotating shaft 2, the drying gas is discharged into the shell 1 through the through hole 22, and then discharged from the system through the adjacent exhaust port 6. During this process, the rotary kiln 5 rotates at the same time, which drives the built-in rotating shaft 8 to rotate together through the connecting rod 10, thereby driving the built-in spiral blade 9 to rotate in the opposite direction to the first and second spiral blades. The rotating built-in spiral blade 9 can push the dust in the cavity 21 to the through hole 22, and finally discharge it into the shell 1 through the through hole 22, thereby solving the problem of blockage in the air guiding cavity 21, ensuring the air guiding effect, allowing the drying gas to be discharged in time, and reducing heat loss.
