Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of boiler soot blowing technology, specifically an anti-clogging soot blowing device for boilers. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, coal-fired boilers accumulate ash on their heating surfaces and flue gas ducts, leading to low energy conversion rates, preventing them from operating under optimal conditions, and resulting in inefficient energy utilization and reduced energy efficiency. The energy efficiency of a boiler system directly determines its power generation and heating efficiency. Improving the coal combustion efficiency of a boiler system not only saves coal consumption but also greatly contributes to environmental protection. Using anti-clogging ash-blowing devices for coal-fired boilers can effectively clean the flue gas ducts, thereby improving energy conversion efficiency.
[0003] Traditional soot blowing equipment typically operates according to a pre-set, fixed program. The jet height is essentially fixed after installation and commissioning, making it difficult to flexibly adjust according to the actual ash accumulation inside the boiler. On the one hand, when some areas of the boiler have severe ash accumulation, a fixed jet height cannot effectively remove the ash, causing it to continue to accumulate, affecting the boiler's heat exchange efficiency, increasing energy consumption, and reducing the overall operating performance of the boiler. On the other hand, in areas with less ash accumulation, an excessively low jet height not only wastes energy but may also cause unnecessary erosion and wear on the pipe walls inside the boiler, shortening the pipe's service life, increasing equipment maintenance costs, and creating safety hazards.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a boiler anti-clogging soot blowing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] The connecting frame is equipped with a detection clamping mechanism for detecting dust thickness on both sides. The detection clamping mechanism includes an ultrasonic detector installed on both sides of the connecting frame. The ultrasonic detector is connected to the controller on the control valve.
[0011] Preferably, the connecting frame has a ventilation opening, and the side of the ventilation opening closest to the ultrasonic detector is flush with the surface of the ultrasonic detector.

[0016] This utility model provides an anti-clogging soot blowing device for boilers. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0017] (1) The boiler uses an anti-clogging soot blowing device. Through an ultrasonic detector, it can accurately measure the thickness of dust inside the boiler in real time and transmit the data to the controller of the control valve. The controller controls the air pump. The output end of the air pump adjusts the jet height of the nozzle through components such as connecting rods and push rods. When the dust is thick, the nozzle moves down to increase the soot blowing force; when the dust is thin, the nozzle moves up to prevent the wind force from damaging the pipeline.

[0027] 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. Example
[0028] Please see Figures 1-7 A boiler anti-clogging soot blowing device includes a rake-type soot blowing mechanism 1. The rake-type soot blowing mechanism 1 includes a connecting pipe 11 for connecting to an external gas supply device. A valve 12 is provided at the end of the connecting pipe 11. An extension pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the other side of the valve 12. A connecting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the other side of the extension pipe 13.
[0029] A control valve 4 with a controller is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting pipe 11, and the air inlet of the control valve 4 is connected to the connecting pipe 11.
[0030] An adjustment mechanism 3 for adjusting the jet height is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame 14. The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a sleeve 34 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 14, and a nozzle 36 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 34.
[0031] The adjustment mechanism 3 also includes an air pump 31 fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame 14. The output end of the air pump 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 32, and the other side of the connecting rod 32 is fixedly connected to a push rod 33. The push rod 33 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 36. The air inlet at the input end of the air pump 31 is connected to the air outlet of the control valve 4 through an air pipe 38. A limiting groove 35 is opened inside the sleeve 34. A limiting block 37 is fixedly connected to the top of the nozzle 36. The limiting block 37 is slidably limited and connected inside the limiting groove 35. Mounting grooves 16 are opened at both ends of the connecting frame 14. An ultrasonic detector 21 is fixedly connected to an mounting rod 22 near the inner side of the connecting frame 14. The ultrasonic detector 21 is inserted into both ends of the connecting frame 14 through the mounting rod 22.
[0032] The connecting frame 14 is equipped with a detection clamping mechanism 2 for detecting the thickness of dust on both sides. The detection clamping mechanism 2 includes an ultrasonic detector 21 installed on both sides of the connecting frame 14. The ultrasonic detector 21 is connected to the controller signal on the control valve 4.
[0033] Place the device at the location on the boiler that needs cleaning, connect the external gas supply equipment, and open valve 12. At this time, the high-pressure gas generated by the external gas supply equipment can be ejected through connecting pipe 11, valve 12, extension pipe 13, connecting frame 14, sleeve 34, and nozzle 36, preparing for soot blowing. Start the ultrasonic detector 21, which emits ultrasonic waves into the boiler. When the ultrasonic waves encounter dust during propagation, they are reflected back. The detector receives the reflected waves and calculates the distance to the dust based on the time difference between transmission and reception and the speed of ultrasonic wave propagation in air, thus determining the dust thickness. Afterward, the detection signal is transmitted in real time to the controller on control valve 4.
[0034] The controller of control valve 4 receives and processes the signal from ultrasonic detector 21. When it is determined that the dust is thick, the controller controls control valve 4 to perform the air intake step, allowing air pump 31 to intake. After air pump 31 starts, its output end drives push rod 33 to move through connecting rod 32. Push rod 33 pushes nozzle 36 to slide inside sleeve 34. Since a limiting groove 35 is opened inside sleeve 34, the limiting block 37 at the top of nozzle 36 slides and limits within the limiting groove 35, ensuring stable lifting and lowering of nozzle 36, thereby realizing the adjustment of air jet height and enabling nozzle 36 to better align with the dust accumulation position.
[0035] After adjusting the jet height of nozzle 36, high-pressure gas is ejected from nozzle 36 to clean the ash accumulated inside the boiler. During the cleaning process, ultrasonic detector 21 continuously monitors the dust thickness and feeds the data back to control valve 4. Control valve 4 continuously adjusts the air intake of air pump 31 based on real-time data, dynamically adjusting the jet height of nozzle 36 to ensure the soot blowing effect. When the dust is thick, nozzle 36 moves downward to clean the thicker dust, while when the dust is thin, nozzle 36 moves upward to avoid excessive airflow that could cause erosion and wear on the pipe walls inside the boiler.
[0036] The ultrasonic detector 21 uses the BJ21 series ultrasonic thickness gauge, with a measurement range of 0.8mm to 600mm, and has high-precision thickness measurement capabilities; the control valve 4 uses the Rexroth 4WRAB6W series; the corresponding model is selected according to the actual use of the equipment. Example
[0037] Please see Figures 1-7This embodiment provides a technical solution based on embodiment one: a vent 15 is provided on the connecting frame 14, the side of the vent 15 near the ultrasonic detector 21 is flush with the surface of the ultrasonic detector 21, two symmetrically arranged clamping rods 23 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting frame 14, the distance between the two clamping rods 23 is the same as the width of the ultrasonic detector 21, and the ultrasonic detector 21 is arranged between the two clamping rods 23. An internal groove is provided inside the mounting groove 16, and an annular airbag 27 is fixedly connected inside the internal groove. A clamping groove 24 is provided on the opposite side of the two clamping grooves 24, and a clamping airbag 25 is fixedly connected inside the clamping groove 24. The clamping airbag 25 and the annular airbag 27 are connected through a connecting pipe 26, and the clamping airbag 25 and the annular airbag 27 are filled with damping fluid.
[0038] The mounting slots 16 at both ends of the connecting frame 14, together with the mounting rods 22 of the ultrasonic detector 21 and the symmetrically arranged clamping rods 23, jointly fix the ultrasonic detector 21. The annular airbag 27 inside the mounting slot 16 and the clamping airbag 25 inside the clamping slot 24 are connected by a connecting pipe 26 and filled with damping fluid, which can buffer the vibration of the equipment during operation. At the same time, when the clamping airbag 25 or the annular airbag 27 is squeezed, the damping fluid inside can be transferred to each other through the connecting pipe 26, thereby effectively preventing the ultrasonic detector 21 from vibrating, improving the accuracy of measurement and the stability of the equipment. The ventilation port 15 opened on the connecting frame 14 allows the gas inside the connecting frame 14 to be discharged from the ventilation port 15, thereby cleaning the dust attached to the ultrasonic detector 21, preventing the ultrasonic detector 21 from being interfered with by dust, and improving the accuracy of dust thickness detection.
[0039] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0040] Working principle:
[0041] Preparation for soot blowing: Place the device at the location of the boiler to be cleaned, connect the external gas supply equipment, open valve 12, and high-pressure gas is sprayed out through connecting pipe 11, valve 12, extension pipe 13, connecting frame 14, sleeve 34 and nozzle 36 to prepare for soot blowing.
[0042] Detecting dust thickness: The ultrasonic detector 21 is activated. The ultrasonic waves emitted by the detector are reflected by the dust. The detector calculates the distance to the dust based on the time difference between the emission and reception of the reflected waves and the speed of ultrasonic wave propagation in the air, and obtains the dust thickness. The detection signal is then transmitted to the controller of the control valve 4 in real time.
[0043] Adjusting the blowing height: After receiving the signal, the controller of the control valve 4 determines that the dust is thick. It controls the control valve 4 to allow the air pump 31 to enter. The air pump 31 starts and drives the push rod 33 through the connecting rod 32, pushing the nozzle 36 to slide in the sleeve 34. The limit block 37 is limited in the limit groove 35 to ensure that the nozzle 36 rises and falls stably and is aligned with the dust accumulation position.
[0044] Soot blowing operation: After adjusting the jet height of nozzle 36, high-pressure gas is sprayed out to clean the soot. During cleaning, ultrasonic detector 21 continuously monitors the dust thickness and feeds it back to control valve 4. Control valve 4 adjusts the air intake of air pump 31 accordingly and dynamically adjusts the jet height of nozzle 36 to ensure the soot blowing effect and avoid erosion and wear on the boiler pipe wall.
[0045] Equipment Fixing and Protection: The ultrasonic detector 21 is fixed by the mounting slots 16, mounting rods 22 and clamping rods 23 at both ends of the connecting frame 14. The annular airbag 27 in the mounting slot 16 and the clamping airbag 25 in the clamping slot 24 are connected by the connecting pipe 26 and filled with damping fluid to buffer vibration, prevent the ultrasonic detector 21 from vibrating, improve measurement accuracy and equipment stability. The vent 15 on the connecting frame 14 discharges internal gas, cleans the dust on the ultrasonic detector 21, and improves detection accuracy.
