Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of asphalt tar flue gas purification technology, and in particular to an electrostatic precipitator wire cleaning tool. Background Technology
[0002] The electrolytic aluminum production process generates pitch tar fumes, which require electrostatic precipitators for purification. Electrostatic precipitators are highly efficient and environmentally friendly devices primarily used to remove tar, dust, and other harmful substances from industrial waste gases. Their core principle is based on high-voltage electrostatic precipitator technology, effectively removing tar droplets and dust from the fumes through corona discharge and electrostatic adsorption. However, in electrostatic precipitators (see attached simplified structural diagram)... Figure 1 After being in use for a period of time, the electrode wires of the electrostatic precipitator (ESP) will accumulate a large amount of asphalt, dust, and other debris, with the amount of tar adhering to them increasing, thus affecting the purification effect of the ESP. Currently, apart from steam cleaning, there are no more effective methods or tools for cleaning the tar adhering to the ESP wires, and the large amount of wastewater generated by steam cleaning is a major problem in wastewater treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to design a simple and effective cleaning tool to clean the ESP wires. Utility Model Content

[0023] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses an electrostatic precipitator wire cleaning tool, including a left half-shell 1 and a right half-shell 2. One side of the left half-shell 1 is rotatably connected to one side of the right half-shell 2, and the other side of the left half-shell 1 is locked to the other side of the right half-shell 2 by a locking assembly 3. Both the left half-shell 1 and the right half-shell 2 are semi-cylindrical structures that are cut in half longitudinally along the axial direction of the cylinder. The left half-shell 1 and the right half-shell 2 are assembled into a complete cylinder with a bottom and a lid.
[0025] In this embodiment, the top cover of the left half-shell 1 is provided with a handle 4. One side of the left half-shell 1 is rotatably connected to one side of the right half-shell 2 by a hinge 5.
[0026] The top cover of the left half-shell 1 has a left upper half-hole 1-1 at its center, and the top cover of the right half-shell 2 has a right upper half-hole 2-1 at its center. The left upper half-hole 1-1 and the right upper half-hole 2-1 are joined together to form a complete circular hole. The bottom plate of the left half-shell 1 has a left lower half-hole 1-2 at its center, and the bottom plate of the right half-shell 2 has a right lower half-hole 2-2 at its center. The left lower half-hole 1-2 and the right lower half-hole 2-2 are joined together to form a complete circular hole. The circular hole formed by the joining of the left upper half-hole 1-1 and the right upper half-hole 2-1 corresponds to the circular hole formed by the joining of the left lower half-hole 1-2 and the right lower half-hole 2-2. In use, attach the upper left half hole 1-1 and lower left half hole 1-2 of the left half housing 1 to the electrostatic precipitator wire, then rotate and fasten the right half housing 2. Lock the right half housing 2 and the left half housing 1 together using the locking assembly 3, so that the electrostatic precipitator wire is held in place by the circular hole where the upper left half hole 1-1 and the upper right half hole 2-1 meet, and the circular hole where the lower left half hole 1-2 and the lower right half hole 2-2 meet. By pulling the handle 4 up and down to move the device, the two closed circular holes scrape and clean the surface of the electrostatic precipitator wire, removing adhering tar and other impurities.
[0027] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 3 includes a fixed end 3-1 and a rotating end 3-2. The fixed end 3-1 is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the right half-shell 2. The fixed end 3-1 has a plate-like structure and an insertion port 3-1-1 is provided on the fixed end 3-1. The rotating end 3-2 includes a rotating rod 3-2-1. One end of the rotating rod 3-2-1 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the left half-shell 1, and the other end of the rotating rod 3-2-1 is provided with a threaded fastening nut 3-2-2. After the right half of the housing 2 and the left half of the housing 1 are closed, rotating the rotating rod 3-2-1 allows the side of the rotating rod 3-2-1 with the fastening nut 3-2-2 to engage with the insertion port 3-1-1. After the rotating rod 3-2-1 is engaged with the insertion port 3-1-1, the fastening nut 3-2-2 is tightened to press tightly against the outer wall of the fixed end 3-1. The fastening nut 3-2-2 presses against the fixed end 3-1 and the right half of the housing 2, thereby tightly connecting the right half of the housing 2 and the left half of the housing 1 together.
[0028] In this embodiment, the rotating rod 3-2-1 is a T-shaped rod. The two ends of the short T-shaped rod of the rotating rod 3-2-1 are rotatably connected to the fixing nut 3-2-3. There are two fixing nuts 3-2-3. The fixing nuts 3-2-3 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the left half shell 1 by welding, one above the other. This allows the horizontal long rod in the middle of the rotating rod 3-2-1 to rotate horizontally and rotate to the side of the fixing end 3-1, and can be inserted into the insertion port 3-1-1. After insertion, tighten the fixing nut 3-2-2.
[0029] In this embodiment, the side walls of both the left half-shell 1 and the right half-shell 2 are seamless steel pipes longitudinally bisected along the central axis. The bottom plate and top cover of both the left half-shell 1 and the right half-shell 2 are made of semi-circular steel plates, which are welded to the steel pipe side walls of the left half-shell 1 and the right half-shell 2 for fixation. The diameters of the circular holes connecting the upper left half-hole 1-1 and the upper right half-hole 2-1, and the lower left half-hole 1-2 and the lower right half-hole 2-2, are slightly larger than the diameter of the electrostatic precipitator wire to facilitate cleaning when mounted on the electrostatic precipitator wire.
[0030] In practice, with the secondary voltage stabilized, after cleaning with this device, the secondary current increased from about 28mA to about 375mA. Using this device for cleaning greatly improves the purification effect of the electrostatic precipitator.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the operation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0032] First, with the electrostatic precipitator in a stopped state and the left and right halves of the housing 1 open, place them vertically on either side of the electrostatic precipitator wire. Place the wire onto the upper left hole 1-1 and lower left hole 1-2 of the left half of the housing 1 (or the upper right hole 2-1 and lower right hole 2-2 of the right half of the housing 2). After securing the wire, rotate the right half of the housing 2 (if the right half of the housing 2 is used to secure the wire, rotate the left half of the housing 1) to close the left and right halves of the housing 2, clamping the wire into the circular holes where the upper left hole 1-1 and upper right hole 2-1 meet, and the lower left hole 1-2 and lower right hole 2-2 meet. Then, rotate the horizontal rod in the middle of the rotating rod 3-2-1 to insert it into the insertion port 3-1-1. After insertion, tighten the fastening nut 3-2-2 to securely connect the left and right halves of the housing 1 and the housing 2 together. At this point, the left half of the housing 1 and the right half of the housing 2 are assembled. Then, the handle 4 is slid up and down along the electrostatic precipitator wire. The circular holes where the upper left half-hole 1-1 and the upper right half-hole 2-1 meet, and the circular holes where the lower left half-hole 1-2 and the lower right half-hole 2-2 meet, clean the surface of the electrostatic precipitator wire by scraping it, removing adhering tar and other impurities. When the required cleaning height is too high, a rope or long pole can be tied to the handle 4 for auxiliary cleaning (when tying a rope, the worker can stand in the wire insulation hanger and pull the rope to perform the cleaning work).
[0033] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
