Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water spray desuperheaters, specifically a radial fixing device for the inner cylinder of a pipe. Background Technology

[0002] Water spray desuperheater: This type of desuperheater directly sprays water into superheated steam to achieve cooling. When steam flows through the desuperheater inlet, water is injected through a specific device and mixes with the superheated steam. Within a certain distance, water droplets exchange heat with the superheated steam, causing the water to vaporize and heat up, while the superheated steam temperature decreases. Finally, the two form a new type of low-temperature superheated steam with different parameters. During the vaporization process after the water mixes with the superheated steam, to prevent water droplets from falling onto the outer wall of the desuperheater and causing thermal stress fatigue cracks, an inner cylinder is installed in the water spray desuperheater. The inner cylinder is not pressurized; it simply allows the desuperheating water sufficient time to vaporize. Therefore, the length of the inner cylinder is the distance the steam travels during the sufficient vaporization time plus a slight margin.

[0003] Currently, multiple (usually four in a group) rectangular blocks are welded around the inner cylinder to support it within the outer wall of the desuperheater. Due to manufacturing limitations, the outer tangent circle of the blocks is smaller than the inner circle of the desuperheater's outer wall. Furthermore, elliptic errors in the tube's shape during the desuperheater's outer wall production prevent a tight fit between the blocks and the inner edge of the outer cylinder inlet. This hinders the radial positioning of the desuperheater's inner cylinder. During desuperheater operation, changes in steam volume and disturbances caused by water spraying can lead to vibrations in the inner tube, exacerbating stress in the water spray pipe. Therefore, we propose a radial fixing device for the inner cylinder to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Example

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a radial fixing device for an inner cylinder of a pipe, including an outer cylinder 1. Four rectangular tubes 2 are uniformly fixedly welded to the side wall of the outer cylinder 1 along the circumference. A driving mechanism 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rectangular tubes 2 away from the outer cylinder 1. A sealing mechanism 4 is installed on the outer surface of the rectangular tubes 2 corresponding to the driving mechanism 3.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a rectangular opening 8 is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder 1 corresponding to the rectangular tube 2, and the side of the rectangular tube 2 facing the inner cylinder 6 is an open structure.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rectangular opening 8 facilitates the installation of the rectangular tube 2 on the side wall of the outer cylinder 1, and the opening of the rectangular tube 2 facilitates the movement of the rectangular block 5.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the drive mechanism 3 includes a ball screw 301, a mechanical seal 302, a handle 303, and a ball nut 304. The ball screw 301 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the rectangular tube 2 away from the inner cylinder 6 by the mechanical seal 302. The handle 303 is fixedly installed on the end of the ball screw 301 located on the outside of the rectangular tube 2. The ball screw 301 is provided with a ball nut 304, and the lower surface of the ball nut 304 is fixedly connected to the rectangular block 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, the handle 303 drives the ball screw 301 to rotate in the mechanical seal 302, and the rotation of the ball screw 301 causes the ball nut 304 to move the rectangular block 5.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rectangular block 5 corresponding to the ball screw 301 is provided with a through hole 9 for mounting the ball screw 301.

[0032] In this embodiment, the through hole 9 satisfies the requirements for the installation and rotation of the ball screw 301 within the rectangular block 5.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer surface of the rectangular block 5 has a rectangular cross-section near the upper side, and the outer surface of the rectangular block 5 is movably fitted with the inner wall of the rectangular tube 2. The outer surface of the rectangular block 5 has a cylindrical cross-section near the lower side.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rectangular portion on the outer surface of the rectangular block 5 allows the rectangular block 5 to move along the inner wall of the rectangular tube 2, while the cylindrical portion facilitates the insertion of the rectangular block 5 into the reinforcing mechanism 7.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a rubber sealing sleeve 10 is fixedly embedded on the outer surface of the rectangular block 5, and the outer surface of the rubber sealing sleeve 10 is movably fitted with the inner wall of the rectangular tube 2.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the sealing mechanism 4 includes a threaded sleeve 401 and a sealing cap 402. The threaded sleeve 401 is fixedly installed on the side of the rectangular tube 2 away from the outer cylinder 1. The sealing cap 402 is threadedly installed on the threaded sleeve 401 and covers the handle 303.

[0038] In this embodiment, the threaded sleeve 401 is used for threaded installation of the sealing cover 402. The sealing cover 402 covers the handle 303, effectively preventing the handle 303 from being accidentally touched.

The arc-shaped reinforcing plate 701 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the inner cylinder 6, and the arc-shaped reinforcing plate 701 has a groove 702 on the side facing the rectangular block 5.

[0040] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped reinforcing plate 701 increases the strength of the inner cylinder 6, and the groove 702 is used for the rectangular block 5 to be inserted into the arc-shaped reinforcing plate 701. The cross-section of the groove 702 is circular, and the inner diameter of the groove 702 matches the diameter of the lower cylindrical part of the rectangular block 5.

[0041] During use, insert the inner cylinder 6 into the outer cylinder 1, aligning the reinforcing mechanism 7 on the inner cylinder 6 with the rectangular block 5. The handle 303 in the drive mechanism 3 on the side wall of the four rectangular tubes 2 on the outer cylinder 1 drives the ball screw 301 to rotate in the mechanical seal 302. The rotation of the ball screw 301 causes the ball nut 304 to move the rectangular block 5 toward the arc-shaped reinforcing plate 701, so that the rectangular block 5 is inserted into the groove 702 on the arc-shaped reinforcing plate 701. Note that the circumferential drive mechanism 3 drives the rectangular block 5 to be screwed in evenly, achieving the effect of installing and fixing the inner cylinder 6. After installation, the sealing cover 402 in the sealing mechanism 4 is threaded onto the threaded sleeve 401. The sealing cover 402 covers the handle 303, effectively preventing the handle 303 from being accidentally touched. The inner cylinder 6 is more firmly and stably fixed, making it convenient to disassemble and repair the inner cylinder 6. The rectangular block 5 on the drive mechanism 3 enables the inner cylinder 6 to generate relative movement, reducing the stress caused by thermal expansion and offsetting the friction caused by the longitudinal scouring of the inner cylinder 6 by steam during the operation of the desuperheater.

[0042] In summary, the radial fixing device for the inner cylinder of the pipe, through the driving mechanism 3, drives the rectangular block 5 to be inserted into the reinforcing mechanism 7, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the inner cylinder 6 inside the outer cylinder 1. The inner cylinder 6 is more firmly and stably fixed, making it convenient to disassemble and repair the inner cylinder 6.
