Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cast iron pipe production technology, and in particular to a multi-waste heat conversion and reuse system for a continuous cast iron pipe production line. Background Technology

[0002] The production line for ductile iron pipes includes processes such as molten iron preparation, sand core preparation, centrifugal casting, annealing, zinc spraying, hydrostatic testing, cement lining, asphalt spraying, and packaging.

[0003] The continuous annealing furnace is used to anneal the cast iron pipe by heating, holding, rapid cooling and slow cooling, which eliminates cementite and pearlite generated during the casting process and transforms the matrix into ferrite.

[0004] After the cement lining of the cast iron pipe is applied, a curing process is required through a curing pit. By using high-temperature, humid steam, the cement lining of the cast iron pipe is cured in a closed curing tank, which accelerates the hydration reaction of the cement layer and allows it to reach the required compressive strength as quickly as possible in a short period of time.

[0005] Before asphalt spraying, a preheating process is required in a preheating furnace. High-temperature treatment ensures that the asphalt reaches the ideal viscosity and fluidity during the spraying process, thereby better adhering to the surface of the cast pipe and forming a uniform and dense protective layer.

[0006] After asphalt spraying, a drying process is required in a drying oven to ensure that the asphalt paint is sprayed evenly and dried thoroughly, thereby improving the quality and durability of the cast pipe.

[0007] Currently, the hot flue gas generated by the annealing furnace is directly discharged outside the factory through the chimney, causing huge energy waste and environmental pollution. The heat of the preheating furnace is provided by a hot air generator with burners, the heat of the drying furnace is provided by a hot air generator with burners, and the steam of the curing pit is provided by a steam boiler. The heat energy discharged from the annealing furnace is not converted and reused, resulting in a large amount of energy waste. Utility Model Content

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a continuous casting pipe production line with multiple waste heat conversion and reuse systems, including: annealing furnace waste heat conversion system 1, preheating furnace heating system 2, drying furnace heating system 3, and curing pit gas supply system 4.

[0061] The input end of the preheating furnace high-temperature air pipe 201 is connected to the hot air conveying pipeline 6; there are two preheating furnace hot flue gas pipes 203, and the input ends of the two preheating furnace hot flue gas pipes 203 are respectively connected to the preheating furnace exhaust port 210; the output ends of the preheating furnace high-temperature air pipe 201 and the output ends of the two preheating furnace hot flue gas pipes 203 are connected to the preheating furnace induced draft fan 205 through the preheating furnace mixing zone 211; the output end of the preheating furnace induced draft fan 205 is connected to the mixing box 206; the mixing box 206 is connected to the preheating furnace heating main pipe 208, and multiple preheating furnace heating branch pipes 209 are installed on the preheating furnace heating main pipe 208; the multiple preheating furnace heating branch pipes 209 extend into the furnace chamber of the preheating furnace. A preheating furnace electric regulating valve 202 is installed on the preheating furnace high-temperature air pipe 201; an explosion-proof device 207 is installed on the preheating furnace heating main pipe 208.

[0062] The preheating furnace heating system 2 further includes a preheating furnace air curtain 212; the preheating furnace air curtain 212 is installed at the furnace opening at the front end of the preheating furnace. The preheating furnace induced draft fan 205 blows air into the furnace chamber, and the air is blown out from the top of the furnace through an upward-opening oblique opening above the furnace top, forming an air curtain.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, the drying oven heating system 3 includes: a low-temperature hot air pipe 301, a high-temperature air pipe 303, a hot flue gas pipe 305, an induced draft fan 306, a main heating pipe 307, and a branch heating pipe 308.

[0064] The input end of the low-temperature hot air pipe 301 of the drying oven is connected to the preheating furnace heating main pipe 208 of the preheating furnace heating system 2; the input end of the high-temperature air pipe 303 of the drying oven is connected to the hot air conveying pipeline 6; there are two hot flue gas pipes 305 of the drying oven, and the input ends of the two hot flue gas pipes 305 are respectively connected to the exhaust port 309 of the drying oven; the output ends of the low-temperature hot air pipe 301, the high-temperature air pipe 303, and the two hot flue gas pipes 305 are connected to the induced draft fan 306 of the drying oven through the air mixing zone 310 of the drying oven.

[0065] The output end of the induced draft fan 306 of the drying oven is connected to the main heating pipe 307 of the drying oven; multiple heating branch pipes 308 of the drying oven are provided on the main heating pipe 307 of the drying oven; the multiple heating branch pipes 308 of the drying oven extend into the drying oven.

[0066] A first electric regulating valve 302 is installed on the low-temperature hot air pipe 301 of the drying oven; a second electric regulating valve 304 is installed on the high-temperature air pipe 303 of the drying oven.

[0067] The drying oven heating system 3 further includes: a drying oven air curtain 311; the drying oven air curtain 311 is installed at the oven opening at the rear end of the drying oven. The drying oven induced draft fan 306 blows air into the furnace chamber, and the air is blown out from the top of the oven through the upward-opening oblique opening above the top of the oven, forming an air curtain.

[0068] The rear end of the preheating furnace and the front end of the drying furnace are connected to the spray booth 8, thus forming a relatively isolated space between the drying furnace, preheating furnace, and spray booth 8 and the outside world. This successfully prevents the escape of hot gas from the furnace. At the same time, the VOC waste gas generated in this space is connected to the heating section 107 of the annealing furnace through the VOC waste gas pipeline 5. A VOC waste gas pipeline exhaust fan 9 is installed in the middle, which can draw the VOC waste gas from the furnace side of the preheating furnace and send it into the annealing furnace for combustion, decomposing the harmful gases into carbon dioxide and water, effectively protecting the environment.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, the steam supply system 4 for the conditioning pit includes: a main steam pipe 401 and multiple branch steam pipes 406. The main steam pipe 401 is connected to the steam delivery pipeline 7; multiple U-shaped anti-expansion pipes 405 are installed on the main steam pipe 401; the branch steam pipes 406 are connected to the main steam pipe 401; the branch steam pipes 406 enter the bottom of the conditioning pool and penetrate the bottom of the pool, and multiple steam nozzles 407 are opened on the branch steam pipes 406.

[0070] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The waste heat conversion system 1 of the annealing furnace converts the high-temperature flue gas from the rapid cooling section 105 and the slow cooling section 106 of the annealing furnace into high-temperature hot air through the heat exchange system 103 (heat exchanger 10306), and then into steam through the steam conversion system 104 (steam boiler 10401). The high-temperature hot air is delivered to the high-temperature air pipe 201 of the preheating furnace and the low-temperature hot air pipe 301 of the drying furnace through the hot air delivery pipeline 6. Both the high-temperature air pipe 201 of the preheating furnace and the low-temperature hot air pipe 301 of the drying furnace are equipped with electric regulating valves. The valve opening is controlled according to the furnace temperature to control the amount of high-temperature air delivered to the drying furnace and the preheating furnace, respectively.

[0071] When the preheating furnace is working, high-temperature air enters the preheating furnace mixing zone 211 through the preheating furnace electric regulating valve 202 and the preheating furnace high-temperature air pipe 201. At the same time, the hot flue gas in the preheating furnace also enters the preheating furnace mixing zone 211 through the preheating furnace exhaust port 210. After the two hot gases are mixed, the high-temperature air is sent to the mixing box 206 by the preheating furnace induced draft fan 205, and then sent to the preheating furnace heating branch pipe 209 through the preheating furnace heating main pipe 208 to preheat the furnace chamber for casting pipe preheating; the other path is sent to the drying furnace low-temperature hot air pipe 301 for use by the drying furnace.

[0072] When the drying furnace is working, the high-temperature hot air from the annealing furnace waste heat conversion system 1, the flue gas discharged from the drying furnace exhaust port 306, and part of the low-temperature flue gas from the preheating furnace heating main pipe 208 are mixed in the drying furnace mixing zone 310. The mixed air is then sent into the furnace chamber of the drying furnace through the drying furnace heating main pipe 307 and the drying furnace heating branch pipe 308 by the drying furnace induced draft fan 306 to dry the cast pipe.

[0073] When the high-temperature air volume in the annealing furnace is insufficient to meet the needs of the preheating furnace and drying furnace, the heating device 204 on the preheating furnace is activated. When the heating device 204 is activated, the heat generated by the combustion of natural gas burners enters the mixing box 206 and mixes with the air mixed in the preheating furnace. Through the preheating furnace heating main pipe 208, one path is sent to the preheating furnace heating branch pipe 207, which is then fed into the furnace chamber of the preheating furnace to preheat the cast pipes. The other path is sent to the low-temperature hot air pipe 301 of the drying furnace for use in the drying furnace.

[0074] When the curing tank is in operation, steam is transported from the steam conversion system 104 of the annealing furnace waste heat conversion system 1 to the main steam pipe 401 of the curing pit in front of the curing tank via steam transmission pipeline 7. There are generally several to a dozen or even dozens of curing tanks. At regular intervals along the direction of the main steam pipe 401 of the curing pit, a U-shaped anti-expansion pipe 405 is installed to prevent the main steam pipe 401 of the curing pit from expanding due to thermal stress. The steam branch pipe 406 in front of each curing tank is divided into two paths. One path is equipped with a curing pit electric regulating valve 404, and a first curing pit manual shut-off valve 402 is installed before and after the curing pit electric regulating valve 404, which can effectively regulate the steam consumption and also meet the needs of each curing pit to be shut down for maintenance independently. The other path is a backup pipeline, equipped with a second curing pit manual shut-off valve 403. When the first valve is damaged or under maintenance, the backup pipeline can be temporarily activated without affecting production. After the two pipelines merge, the steam branch pipe 406 of the health-preserving pit enters the bottom of the health-preserving pool from the hole on the side of the pool, and splits into two lines that run through the bottom of the pool. On the upper side of the two bottom pipelines, multiple steam nozzles 407 of the health-preserving pit are opened to release steam.

[0075] To ensure the clarity and completeness of the present invention, the waste heat conversion system 1 of the annealing furnace is described.

[0092] The annealing furnace waste heat conversion system 1 provided by this utility model undergoes three heat exchange processes and two cooling processes, making full use of energy exchange to achieve maximum energy saving and consumption reduction. Working principle:

[0093] First heat exchange: High-temperature flue gas from the annealing furnace enters the steam boiler 10401 of the steam reforming system 104 via the first exhaust port 10201 at the bottom of the annealing furnace's rapid cooling section 105, through the main exhaust pipe 10204. Another source of high-temperature flue gas enters the heat exchanger 10306 via the second exhaust port 10202 at the bottom of the annealing furnace's slow cooling section 106, through the main exhaust pipe 10204, and exits from the furnace. The induced draft fan 10305 of the heat exchange system draws cold air into the heat exchanger 10306. After heat exchange, the high-temperature flue gas becomes medium-low temperature flue gas, which then flows to the steam boiler 10401 of the steam reforming system 104. The cold air becomes hot air and exits from the hot air outlet pipe 10304 of the heat exchanger 10306, then is supplied to the preheating furnace heating system 2 and the drying furnace heating system 3 via the hot air delivery pipeline 6.

[0094] Second heat exchange: The medium- and low-temperature flue gas discharged after the first heat exchange enters the steam boiler 10401 of the steam reforming system 104 for heat exchange with the softened water that enters the steam boiler 10401 after passing through the economizer 10402. After heat exchange, the softened water becomes steam, which is discharged from the steam outlet of the steam boiler 10401 and supplied to the curing pit gas supply system 4 through the steam transmission pipeline 7. The medium- and low-temperature flue gas becomes low-temperature flue gas and enters the economizer 10402.

[0095] The third heat exchange: The low-temperature flue gas entering the economizer 10402 and the softened water in the outer coil of the economizer 10402 undergo a third heat exchange. The low-temperature flue gas is further cooled down, and the softened water temperature increases before entering the steam boiler 10401 to become steam, which saves more external heat.

[0096] First cooling: The low-temperature flue gas discharged from the economizer 10402 enters the condenser 10403, and the water from the softened water tank 10404 enters the condenser 10403 via the circulating water pump 10406. This further cools the low-temperature flue gas from the economizer 10402, turning it into cooling air. The circulating water returns to the softened water tank 10404 after passing through the condenser 10403, which is equivalent to a small-scale heat exchange.

[0097] Secondary cooling: The cooling air discharged from the condenser 10403 is drawn through the circulation device 10106 to the rapid cooling section air inlet unit 10101 and the slow cooling section air inlet unit 10102, and then sent into the furnace to cool the furnace.

[0098] The above-mentioned quenching section 105 and slow cooling section 106 of the annealing furnace undergo a heat exchange process, which not only cools the area but also converts the excess heat of the flue gas in the furnace into high-temperature air and steam, so that the heat is fully utilized.

[0099] In addition, when the steam boiler 10401 is under maintenance or cannot operate for other reasons, the first flue gate valve 10205 and the second flue gate valve 10206 of the annealing furnace hot flue gas emission system 102 are closed; the furnace top standby cooling device 10103 is opened, and the annealing furnace can operate normally. Similarly, when the steam conversion system 104 is operating normally, the furnace top standby cooling device 10103 is closed.
