[0006] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: When using the economizer body, the operator connects the external flue pipe to the flue gas inlet of the economizer body. At this time, the sealing ring seals the gap between the flue pipe and the economizer body. The flue gas enters the interior of the economizer body through the flue pipe. Water is then introduced into the heat exchange tubes through the water inlet pipe. The heat in the flue gas is absorbed by the water in the heat exchange tubes. Finally, the flue gas is discharged from the economizer body through the flue gas outlet, while the water in the heat exchange tubes is discharged from the economizer body through the water outlet pipe. When there is a lot of dust on the heat exchange tubes, the operator cleans the surface of the heat exchange tubes using a cleaning device.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning device includes a motor mounted on the upper surface of the economizer body. The motor is fixedly connected to a screw via a reducer. The screw is located inside the economizer body. Several movable plates are arranged inside the economizer body and are interconnected via connecting plates.

[0016] The aforementioned components achieve the following effect: Before cleaning the heat exchange tubes inside the economizer body, the operator moves the fixing plate, which, along with the collection frame, is inserted into the bottom of the economizer body. When the fixing plate is in contact with the economizer body, the operator moves the insert plate on the pad, which passes through the pad and inserts into the hole of the fixing plate, thus securing the fixing plate. When the sponge pad cleans the heat exchange tubes, the cleaned dust falls into the collection frame, making it convenient for the operator to handle uniformly and providing convenience.

[0017] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate, wherein the surface of the handle is provided with anti-slip texture.

When using the economizer body 1, the operator connects the external flue pipe to the flue gas inlet 2 of the economizer body 1. At this time, the sealing ring 4 seals the gap between the flue pipe and the economizer body 1. The flue gas enters the interior of the economizer body 1 through the flue pipe. Then, water is sent into the interior of the heat exchange tube 5 through the water inlet pipe 6. The heat in the flue gas is absorbed by the water in the heat exchange tube 5. Finally, the flue gas is discharged from the economizer body 1 through the flue gas outlet 3, and the water in the heat exchange tube 5 is discharged from the economizer body 1 through the water outlet pipe 7. When there is a lot of dust on the heat exchange tube 5, the operator cleans the surface of the heat exchange tube 5 through the cleaning device 8.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, the cleaning device 8 includes a motor 81, which is mounted on the upper surface of the economizer body 1. The motor 81 is fixedly connected to a screw 82 via a reducer. The screw 82 is located inside the economizer body 1. Several movable plates 83 are arranged inside the economizer body 1 and are interconnected via connecting plates. The screw 82 is threadedly connected to one of the movable plates 83. A pre-drilled hole 84 is formed on the surface of the movable plate 83. The heat exchange tube 5 is located inside the pre-drilled hole 84. A fixing ring 85 is arranged inside the pre-drilled hole 84. The fixing ring 85 is fitted onto the arc surface of the heat exchange tube 5 and is fixedly connected to the movable plate 83 via a support rod. A sponge pad 86 is fixedly connected inside the fixing ring 85, and the inside of the sponge pad 86 is in contact with the surface of the heat exchange tube 5. When there is a lot of dust on the surface of the heat exchange tube 5, the operator turns on the motor 81. The motor 81 drives the screw 82 to rotate through the reducer. The screw 82 moves multiple moving plates 83 up and down. When the moving plate 83 moves downward, the sponge pad 86 inside the fixing ring 85 cleans the surface of the heat exchange tube 5. When the moving plate 83 moves upward, the sponge pad 86 inside the fixing ring 85 cleans the surface of the heat exchange tube 5 at the same time. The dust cleaned falls to the bottom of the economizer body 1 through the reserved hole 84 of the moving plate 83. The cleaning device 8 achieves the effect of cleaning the surface of the heat exchange tube 5, avoiding the accumulation of dust on the surface of the heat exchange tube 5, which would result in poor flue gas heat exchange effect.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, a bearing 88 is provided at one end of the screw 82. The outer ring of the bearing 88 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the economizer body 1, while the inner ring of the bearing 88 is fixedly connected to the screw 82.

The limiting rods 87 restrict the movement direction of the moving plate 83, preventing it from shaking. A protective plate 89 is fixedly connected inside the economizer body 1, located between the screw 82 and the flue gas inlet 2. The protective plate 89 protects the screw 82, minimizing dust accumulation on its surface.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, a collection device 9 is provided at the bottom of the economizer body 1. The collection device 9 includes a collection frame 92, which is slidably installed at the bottom of the economizer body 1. A fixing plate 91 is fixedly connected to one side of the collection frame 92. A pad 93 is fixedly connected to the economizer body 1 at the location corresponding to the fixing plate 91. An insert plate 94 slides through the surface of the pad 93. The fixing plate 91 has an insertion hole 95 at the insertion point, and the size of the insert plate 94 is adapted to the size of the insertion hole 95. Before cleaning the heat exchange tubes 5 inside the economizer body 1, the staff moves the fixing plate 91, which, along with the collection frame 92, is inserted into the bottom of the economizer body 1. When the fixing plate 91 is in contact with the economizer body 1, the staff moves the insert plate 94 on the pad 93. The insert plate 94 passes through the pad 93 and is inserted into the insertion hole 95 of the fixing plate 91, thus fixing the fixing plate 91. When the sponge pad 86 cleans the heat exchange tubes 5, the dust that is cleaned falls into the collection frame 92, making it convenient for the staff to handle it uniformly and bringing convenience to the staff.

[0036] Working principle: When using the economizer body 1, the operator connects the external flue pipe to the flue gas inlet 2 of the economizer body 1. At this time, the sealing ring 4 seals the gap between the flue pipe and the economizer body 1. The flue gas enters the interior of the economizer body 1 through the flue pipe. Water is then introduced into the heat exchange tube 5 through the water inlet pipe 6. The heat in the flue gas is absorbed by the water in the heat exchange tube 5. Finally, the flue gas is discharged from the economizer body 1 through the flue gas outlet 3, while the water in the heat exchange tube 5 is discharged from the economizer body 1 through the water outlet pipe 7. When there is a lot of dust on the surface of the heat exchange tube 5, the operator turns on the motor 81. The motor 81 drives the screw 82 to rotate with the help of a reducer. The bearing 88 at one end of the screw 82 improves the stability of the screw 82 rotation. The protective plate 89 located between the screw 82 and the flue gas inlet 2 effectively protects the screw 82, minimizing the amount of dust in the flue gas from falling onto it. The screw 82 moves up and down with multiple moving plates 83. When the moving plates 83 move downwards, the sponge pad 86 inside the fixing ring 85 cleans the surface of the heat exchange tube 5. When the moving plates 83 move upwards, the sponge pad 86 inside the fixing ring 85 simultaneously cleans the surface of the heat exchange tube 5. The cleaned dust falls to the bottom of the economizer body 1 through the reserved holes 84 of the moving plates 83. The cleaning device 8 effectively cleans the surface of the heat exchange tube 5, preventing dust from accumulating on the surface of the heat exchange tube 5 and thus avoiding poor flue gas heat exchange.

[0037] Before cleaning the heat exchange tubes 5 inside the economizer body 1, the staff moves the fixing plate 91 by the handle 96. The fixing plate 91, along with the collection frame 92, is inserted into the bottom of the economizer body 1. When the fixing plate 91 is in contact with the economizer body 1 with the help of the sponge ring, the staff moves the insert plate 94 on the pad 93. The insert plate 94 passes through the pad 93 and is inserted into the insertion hole 95 of the fixing plate 91, thus fixing the fixing plate 91. When the sponge pad 86 cleans the heat exchange tubes 5, the dust that is cleaned falls into the collection frame 92, which is convenient for the staff to handle uniformly and brings convenience to the staff.
