Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circulating fluidized bed boiler technology, and in particular to a limiting device for the π-shaped bend of the heating surface inside a circulating fluidized bed boiler. Background Technology

[0002] The π-shaped bend in the heating surface of a circulating fluidized bed boiler is an important component of the heating surface piping system. It is named for its "π" shape. It mainly consists of straight pipe sections and bends, and is usually arranged in areas such as the furnace, superheater, or reheater. It plays a key role in absorbing heat from the high-temperature flue gas in the furnace and transferring heat energy. The design of the π-shaped bend needs to take into account the complex thermal environment inside the boiler and must have good high-temperature resistance and wear resistance.

[0003] The working principle of the π-shaped bend in the heating surface of the circulating fluidized bed boiler is based on its special "π"-shaped structure and heat exchange mechanism. During operation, high-temperature dust-laden flue gas flows through the outside of the bend and transfers heat to the working medium (water or steam) inside the tube through convection and radiation, thus realizing heat energy exchange. The geometry of the bend increases the heating area in a limited space and enhances the heat transfer efficiency.

[0004] In circulating fluidized bed boilers, π-shaped bends are components of key heating surface tube banks such as superheaters and reheaters. They absorb the displacement of pipes caused by thermal expansion and prevent pipe deformation and cracking caused by thermal stress concentration. However, excessive displacement can cause overstressing and cracking of the π-shaped bends. Therefore, a limiting device for π-shaped bends in circulating fluidized bed boilers is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an embodiment of a limiting device for a π-shaped bend in the heating surface of a circulating fluidized bed boiler. The device includes a limiting frame 1, with a π-shaped tube 2 rotatably connected inside the limiting frame 1. The limiting frame 1 provides an installation support structure for the π-shaped tube 2, which rotates within the limiting frame 1. Multiple wear-resistant tiles 3 are fixedly connected to the outside of the π-shaped tube 2, protecting the tube from abrasion and erosion by high-speed flying ash particles and bed material in the flue gas. A limiting block 4 is installed on one of the bottom wear-resistant tiles 3 to prevent structural damage or collision caused by excessive movement of the π-shaped tube 2. A fixing block 5 is installed on the outside of another bottom wear-resistant tile 3 to fix the limiting block 4. A fixing component is provided inside the fixing block 5, including a locking body 6, which is the main structure of the fixing component. The lock body 6 has a sliding pin 7 inside, which slides within the lock body 6. The movement of the sliding pin changes the locking state of the fixing component. A spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding pin 7. A connecting block 9 is fixedly connected inside the sliding pin 7. The connecting block 9 is fixed inside the sliding pin 7. A support rod 10 is rotatably connected to the outside of the connecting block 9. The support rod 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 9 and can swing with the movement of the sliding pin 7 to press against the limit block 4. A nut 11 is threadedly connected to the outside of the lock body 6. The fixing block 5 is pressed by rotating the nut 11. Multiple rotating pins 12 are fixedly connected to the outside of the nut 11. The rotating pins 12 are fixed on the outer surface of the nut 11 to provide a force point for the operator to rotate the nut 11. A fixing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the lock body 6. A connecting ring 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing ring 13.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Two limiting plates 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the limiting frame 1. The limiting plates 15 are fixed to the bottom of the limiting frame 1 and are used to limit the limiting block 4. The top of the support rod 10 contacts the outer wall of the limiting block 4, and the top of the support rod 10 abuts against the limiting block 4. The bottom of the nut 11 contacts the outer wall of the fixing block 5. After the nut 11 is tightened, it squeezes the fixing block 5. The outer wall of the lock body 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing ring 13. The fixing ring 13 provides sliding guidance for the lock body 6. The outer wall of the support rod 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lock body 6. The support rod 10 slides inside the lock body 6 and swings with the extension and retraction of the sliding column 7. The locking body 6 is slidably connected inside the limiting block 4 and slides within the limiting block 4. The outer wall of the locking body 6 is slidably connected inside the fixing block 5. The anti-wear tile 3 is made of wear-resistant steel plate. Its high hardness and impact resistance effectively resist the scouring and wear of the π-shaped tube 2 by the high-speed particle flow in the circulating fluidized bed boiler, extending the service life of the pipeline. The π-shaped tube 2 is made of alloy steel, which has high strength, high temperature resistance and good corrosion resistance, meeting the requirements of the high temperature and high pressure working environment in the boiler, ensuring the stability of the pipeline structure and long-term reliable operation.

[0033] Working principle: The π-shaped tube 2 rotates inside the limiting frame 1. However, the rotation of the limiting frame 1 causes the π-shaped tube 2 to rub against each other, resulting in wear and thinning of the π-shaped tube 2. Therefore, a limiting block 4 is installed on one side of the bottom anti-wear tile 3 to limit the swing of the limiting frame 1 itself caused by the high-speed fluidizing air. The limiting block 4 will wear under the limiting action for a long time. Rotating the rotating column 12 will drive the nut 11 to rotate, releasing the pressure on the limiting block 4 and the fixing block 5. Pressing the sliding column 7 will move the sliding column 7 towards the bottom of the lock body 6, thereby pressing the support rod 10 inside the lock body 6, so that the support rod 10 is received by the inner wall of the sliding column 7. The lock body 6 is then removed. Once the limit block 4 has been replaced, the lock body 6 is inserted between the limit block 4 and the fixed block 5. Under the elastic potential energy of the spring 8, the sliding column 7 unfolds and the support rod 10 abuts against the outer wall of the limit block 4. At the same time, rotating the rotating column 12 drives the nut 11 to rotate, and the nut 11 abuts against the outer wall of the fixed block 5. By tightening the nut 11, the limit block 4 and the fixed block 5 fit tightly together under the action of the nut 11 and the support rod 10. Meanwhile, the bottom inner wall of the limit frame 1 has a limiting plate 15 fixed on both sides of the limit block 4 to prevent the limit block 4 from tilting. At the same time, it plays a role in fixing the position when installing the limit block 4.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
