Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of thermal equipment maintenance technology, and in particular relates to a ball counting device and a condenser cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] As a core heat exchange device in a steam turbine system, the condenser plays a crucial role in power generation by condensing turbine exhaust steam into water and maintaining a vacuum. Its operational efficiency directly impacts the thermal efficiency and economy of the entire power generation system. However, during long-term operation, scale deposits inevitably form on the inner walls of the condenser tubes. These deposits not only hinder effective steam condensation and reduce vacuum, but also significantly deteriorate heat transfer performance, exacerbate tube corrosion, and in severe cases, even lead to unplanned condenser shutdowns, affecting the safe and stable operation of the power generation system. Therefore, regular and effective cleaning and maintenance of the condenser is a necessary measure to ensure the efficient and safe operation of the power generation system.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used cleaning method is ball cleaning technology. This involves injecting specially designed balls into the condenser cooling water inlet pipe using a specialized device. The circulating water propels the balls through the cooling water pipes, effectively removing scale buildup on the pipe walls. The key to this technology lies in the precise control of the number of balls: insufficient balls will result in some cooling water pipes not being effectively cleaned, affecting the cleaning effect; while excessive balls may cause pipe blockage, and excessive friction between the balls and the pipe walls can accelerate pipe wear and even damage the equipment. However, existing technologies mainly rely on manual counting of balls. This method not only has inherent drawbacks such as low counting accuracy and poor efficiency, but also, because it is usually performed before or after cleaning, it cannot achieve real-time monitoring of the number of balls. This makes it difficult for operators to dynamically adjust the number of balls based on the actual cleaning effect, severely limiting the improvement of cleaning efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a ball counting device and a condenser cleaning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a glue ball counting device and a condenser cleaning equipment that can automatically record the number of glue balls, improving the accuracy and efficiency of glue ball counting. It also allows operators to dynamically adjust the amount of glue balls added in a timely manner based on the actual cleaning effect of the condenser, thus contributing to the improvement of condenser cleaning efficiency.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] On the one hand, a ball counting device is provided, comprising:

[0008] support;

[0009] A ball storage device is installed on a bracket. The ball storage device is provided with a ball passage and a ball storage cavity communicating with the ball passage. The ball storage cavity is used to store rubber balls.

[0010] The conveyor belt is mounted on the support frame. One end of the conveyor belt is located inside the ball storage cavity, and the other end passes through the ball outlet and is located outside the ball storage component. When the conveyor belt is driven, the rubber balls in the ball storage cavity can be moved out of the ball storage component through the ball outlet under the drive of the conveyor belt.

[0011] A counter, located at the other end of the conveyor belt, is configured to count the number of rubber balls passing through the other end of the conveyor belt.

[0012] Optionally, the conveyor belt is set at a vertical inclination, and the height of one end of the conveyor belt inside the ball storage cavity is greater than the height of the other end of the conveyor belt.

[0013] Optionally, the ball counting device also includes a guide mounted on the support, located below the other end of the conveyor belt, with a counter located at the end of the guide away from the conveyor belt. The guide is vertically inclined, allowing balls that have moved to the other end of the conveyor belt to fall onto the guide and automatically move toward the counter.

[0014] Optionally, the height of the ball opening is greater than the diameter of the rubber ball but less than twice the diameter of the rubber ball, and the width of the ball opening is greater than the diameter of the rubber ball but less than twice the diameter of the rubber ball.

[0015] Optionally, the ball counting device also includes a drive unit mounted on the bracket, the output end of which is connected to the conveyor belt for driving the conveyor belt.

[0016] Optionally, the ball counting device also includes a power supply unit mounted on the bracket, which is electrically connected to both the drive unit and the counter, and is used to supply power to the drive unit and the counter.

[0017] Optionally, the ball counting device also includes a driving wheel and a driven wheel, both of which are rotatably mounted on the bracket. A conveyor belt is wound around the driving wheel and the driven wheel. The output end of the drive unit is connected to the driving wheel to drive the driving wheel to drive the conveyor belt. The rotation direction and rotation speed of the driving wheel are both adjustable.

[0018] Optionally, the ball counting device also includes a display unit mounted on the bracket, which is electrically connected to the counter and is used to display the number of balls counted by the counter.

[0019] Optionally, the ball storage component includes multiple connected enclosures that enclose a ball storage cavity. The ball passage is located on one of the enclosures. The enclosures are vertically inclined, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the lower end of the ball storage cavity is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the upper end of the ball storage cavity.

[0020] On the other hand, a condenser cleaning device is provided, including a base and the aforementioned ball counting device. The support of the ball counting device can be set on the base, the condenser can be installed on the base, and the balls removed from the ball storage unit can enter the cooling water pipe of the condenser.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This invention provides a ball counting device and a condenser cleaning equipment. One end of the conveyor belt is located inside the ball storage chamber, allowing the balls stored in the chamber to fall onto the conveyor belt.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a glue ball counting device that can automatically record the number of glue balls, improving the accuracy and efficiency of glue ball counting. It also allows staff to dynamically adjust the amount of glue balls added in a timely manner based on the actual cleaning effect of the condenser, which helps to improve the cleaning efficiency of the condenser.

[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The ball counting device includes a support 1, a ball storage component 2, a conveyor belt 3, and a counter 4. The ball storage component 2 is disposed on the support 1 and has a ball passage 21 and a ball storage cavity 22 communicating with the ball passage 21. The ball storage cavity 22 is used to store balls. The conveyor belt 3 is driven and disposed on the support 1. One end of the conveyor belt 3 is located inside the ball storage cavity 22, and the other end passes through the ball passage 21 and is located outside the ball storage component 2. When the conveyor belt 3 is driven, the balls in the ball storage cavity 22 can be moved out of the ball storage component 2 through the ball passage 21 under the drive of the conveyor belt 3. The counter 4 is disposed at the other end of the conveyor belt 3 and is configured to count the number of balls passing through the other end of the conveyor belt 3.

[0041] The ball counting device provided in this embodiment has one end of the conveyor belt 3 located inside the ball storage chamber 22, allowing the balls stored in the ball storage chamber 22 to fall onto the conveyor belt 3. When the conveyor belt 3 is turned on, it can move the balls that have fallen onto it, allowing them to move through the ball inlet 21 to the outside of the ball storage unit 2 and then to the next process. This achieves automatic removal of the balls from the ball storage unit 2 and automatic conveying to the next process, improving the automation level of condenser cleaning. During the conveying process, the balls pass through a counter 4 located at the other end of the conveyor belt 3. The counter 4 can count the number of balls passing through in real time, achieving automatic recording of the number of balls, significantly improving the accuracy and efficiency of counting. It also allows operators to obtain the number of balls conveyed to the next process in real time, facilitating timely and dynamic adjustment of the ball delivery amount based on the actual cleaning effect, thus contributing to improved cleaning efficiency.

[0042] For example, see Figure 2 The counter 4 uses a laser probe. Furthermore, a laser reflector 41 is provided on the bracket 1. The laser emitted by the laser probe shines onto the laser reflector 41, which reflects the laser, allowing the laser probe to receive the reflected laser. When a rubber ball passes through the counter 4, the rubber ball blocks the laser, preventing the laser probe from receiving the reflected laser. Therefore, the number of times the laser is blocked is the number of rubber balls, thus achieving automatic counting of the number of rubber balls.

[0043] Optionally, the conveyor belt 3 is vertically inclined, and the height of one end of the conveyor belt 3 within the ball storage cavity 22 is greater than the height of the other end of the conveyor belt 3. This arrangement allows the rubber balls falling onto the conveyor belt 3 to move quickly from one end of the conveyor belt 3 to the other end under the combined action of gravity and the transmission force of the conveyor belt 3, increasing the speed at which the rubber balls pass through the ball passage 21 and reducing the possibility of the rubber balls clogging the ball passage 21.

[0044] For example, the tilt angle of the conveyor belt 3 is 5°.

[0045] Optionally, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ball counting device also includes a guide 5 mounted on the support 1, located below the other end of the conveyor belt 3. A counter 4 is positioned at the end of the guide 5 furthest from the conveyor belt 3. The guide 5 is vertically inclined, allowing balls that have moved to the other end of the conveyor belt 3 to fall onto the guide 5 and automatically move towards the counter 4. The vertical inclination of the guide 5 allows the balls to automatically move towards the counter 4 under gravity, facilitating automatic counting by the counter 4. The other end of the conveyor belt 3 is curved, causing the balls to automatically detach from the conveyor belt 3 after reaching it. The guide 5 catches the falling balls and guides them to automatically move to the next process, improving the automation level of ball movement.

[0046] Specifically, see Figure 2 The guide 5 includes a guide plate 51 and baffles 52 disposed on both sides of the guide plate 51. A counter 4 is disposed on one of the two baffles 52, and a laser reflector 41 is disposed on the other of the two baffles 52. The baffles 52 on both sides can constrain the movement direction of the rubber ball, so that the rubber ball only moves along the extension direction of the guide plate 51, ensuring that any rubber ball that moves onto the guide 5 can be counted by the counter 4.

[0047] For example, the tilt angle of the guide 5 is 10°, and the height of the end of the guide 5 near the conveyor belt 3 is higher than the height of the end of the guide 5 where the counter 4 is located.

[0048] Optionally, see Figure 2 The height of the ball-passing opening 21 is greater than the diameter of the rubber ball but less than twice the diameter of the rubber ball, and the width of the ball-passing opening 21 is greater than the diameter of the rubber ball but less than twice the diameter of the rubber ball. This configuration ensures that only one rubber ball can pass through the ball-passing opening 21 at a time. This not only helps prevent the counter 4 from making mistakes or omissions, improving counting accuracy, but also prevents the rubber ball from clogging at the ball-passing opening 21, reducing the number of times the rubber ball counting device stops, and ensuring the automation and efficiency of the rubber ball counting.

[0049] For example, the cross-sectional shape of the ball passage 21 is arched, the diameter of the rubber ball is 25mm, and the height and width of the ball passage 21 are both 30mm.

[0050] Optionally, the ball counting device also includes a drive unit disposed on the bracket 1, the output end of the drive unit being connected to the conveyor belt 3 for driving the conveyor belt 3 to improve the automation level of ball counting.

[0051] In this embodiment, the ball counting device also includes a power supply unit disposed on the bracket 1. The power supply unit is electrically connected to both the drive unit and the counter 4, and is used to supply power to the drive unit and the counter 4. This arrangement allows only one power supply unit to simultaneously power the drive unit and the counter 4, significantly reducing the number of power supply units required and lowering the operating cost of the ball counting device. Moreover, the power supply unit enables the ball counting device to have its own internal power supply, allowing the ball counting process to be performed independently, thus avoiding any unforeseen circumstances that could affect the counting results.

[0052] For example, the power supply unit uses a 12V lithium battery. 12V lithium batteries have advantages such as high energy density, long lifespan, and environmental friendliness, and are widely used in various fields.

[0053] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4The ball counting device also includes a drive wheel 61 and a driven wheel 62, both of which are rotatably mounted on the bracket 1. A conveyor belt 3 is wound around the drive wheel 61 and the driven wheel 62. The output end of the drive unit is connected to the drive wheel 61, driving the drive wheel 61 to drive the conveyor belt 3. The rotation direction and speed of the drive wheel 61 are adjustable. When the drive wheel 61 drives the conveyor belt 3, the conveyor belt 3 drives the driven wheel 62 to rotate. The drive wheel 61 provides power for the transmission of the conveyor belt 3, while the driven wheel 62 provides support and guidance for the conveyor belt 3, ensuring the smooth movement of the balls along the conveyor belt 3. When a ball becomes clogged at the ball outlet 21, the direction and speed of the conveyor belt 3 can be changed by adjusting the rotation direction and speed of the drive wheel 61, loosening the clogged balls and relieving the blockage. The operation is simple and quick, convenient for operators to use and maintain.

[0054] For example, the driving element is a motor.

[0055] Furthermore, the ball counting device also includes control buttons mounted on the bracket 1. These control buttons are electrically connected to the drive unit and are used to control the opening and closing of the drive unit, the rotation direction of the drive wheel 61, and the rotation speed of the drive wheel 61. This design significantly improves the ease of use of the ball counting device and the user experience for operators.

[0056] Optionally, see Figure 1 The ball counting device also includes a display 7 mounted on the bracket 1. The display 7 is electrically connected to the counter 4 and is used to display the number of balls counted by the counter 4, so that the staff can monitor the counted number of balls in real time, which improves the ease of use of the ball counting device and the user experience of the staff.

[0057] For example, display 7 is a display screen.

[0058] Optionally, see Figure 1 The ball storage component 2 includes multiple interconnected enclosure sections 23, which together form a ball storage cavity 22. A ball passage 21 is located on one of the enclosure sections 23. The enclosure sections 23 are vertically inclined, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the lower end of the ball storage cavity 22 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the upper end. This arrangement allows the rubber balls located within the ball storage cavity 22 to move along the enclosure sections 23. As the rubber balls move downwards, they can also move towards the conveyor belt 3, ensuring that the rubber balls within the ball storage cavity 22 can be moved onto the conveyor belt 3.

[0059] Specifically, see Figure 2 The cross-sectional shape of the ball storage component 2 is funnel-shaped.

[0060] Example 2

[0061] This embodiment provides a condenser cleaning device, including a base and a ball counting device as described in Embodiment 1. The bracket 1 of the ball counting device can be set on the base, the condenser can be installed on the base, and the balls removed from the ball storage component 2 can enter the cooling water pipe of the condenser.

[0062] Specifically, the other end of the guide 5 is connected to the cooling water pipe of the condenser so that the rubber ball can automatically move from the guide 5 into the cooling water pipe of the condenser.

[0063] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present utility model.
