Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soot blowers, specifically to a single-beam oscillating soot blower. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in single-beam sootblowers, the oscillating box on the trolley converts the rotational motion transmitted from the motor into the oscillation of the gun barrel around its axis. During oscillation, the gun barrel simultaneously moves forward or backward to achieve soot blowing on a specific heating surface of the power plant boiler. Existing single-beam sootblower trolleys often use cable carriers for their power supply cables when moving forward or backward, which occupies a large space and requires additional cable carrier tracks. Conventional sootblower gun nozzles typically have two nozzles symmetrically arranged, usually perpendicular to the gun barrel at a 90° angle. This results in high resistance, pressure loss, and significant calorific value loss when steam exits from the nozzles. There is a lack of new nozzles that can effectively reduce soot blowing steam consumption while maintaining soot blowing effectiveness, thereby saving energy and improving boiler economic efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a single-beam vibrating soot blower.
[0004] This utility model includes a sootblower beam, a trolley, and a gun barrel. The trolley is installed on the sootblower beam, and the gun barrel is installed in the filling chamber of the trolley. The gun barrel is driven to swing by the oscillating box on one side of the trolley. A wire rod is provided at the bottom of the top plate of the sootblower beam, and a spiral cable is suspended on the wire rod. The input end of the spiral cable is connected to an external power source, and the output end of the spiral cable is electrically connected to the motor of the trolley. A front end plate is provided at the head of the sootblower beam, and a pair of gun barrel support rollers are provided at the bottom of the front end plate. The gun barrel is located on the pair of gun barrel support rollers, and a sootblowing nozzle is provided at the head of the gun barrel.
[0005] The two ends of the wire guide rod are threaded. One end of the wire guide rod is fixed to the front end plate with a nut, and the other end of the wire guide rod is fixed to the rear end plate of the soot blower beam with a nut.
[0006] The sports car is equipped with a cable tray. One end of the cable tray has a cable fixing plate facing upwards, and the other end of the cable tray has a sports car fixing plate facing downwards. The output end of the spiral cable is installed on the cable fixing plate, and the output end of the spiral cable extends downwards to connect with the motor of the sports car. The sports car fixing plate is fixed to the sports car with bolts.
[0007] The soot blowing nozzle has a lower nozzle at the bottom of the head and an upper nozzle at the top of the middle. The head of the soot blowing nozzle has sloping sides, and the internal space of the soot blowing nozzle gradually decreases from the middle to the head.
[0008] The inner wall of the soot blowing nozzle located at the lower nozzle is provided with a flow guide step with a triangular cross section.
[0009] The inner wall of the blowing nozzle located at the upper nozzle is provided with a guide protrusion with an inverted trapezoidal cross section.

[0012] A first arc-shaped guide surface is provided on the top inlet end wall of the lower nozzle, and a second arc-shaped guide surface is provided on the bottom inlet end wall of the upper nozzle.
[0013] The advantages of this utility model are: it adopts a spiral cable structure instead of a drag chain, which is simple in structure and reduces the total weight of the soot blower.

The trolley 2 is installed on the sootblower beam 1, and the gun barrel 3 is installed in the filling chamber of the trolley 2. The gun barrel 3 is driven to swing by the oscillating box on one side of the trolley 2. A wire rod 4 is provided at the bottom of the top plate of the sootblower beam 1. A spiral cable 5 is suspended on the wire rod 4. The input end of the spiral cable 5 is connected to an external power source, and the output end of the spiral cable 5 is electrically connected to the motor of the trolley 2. A front end plate 6 is provided at the head of the sootblower beam 1. A pair of gun barrel support rollers 7 are provided at the bottom of the front end plate 6. The gun barrel 3 is located on the pair of gun barrel support rollers 7. A sootblowing nozzle 8 is provided at the head of the gun barrel 3.
[0022] The two ends of the wire rod 4 are respectively provided with threads. One end of the wire rod 4 is fixed to the front end plate 6 by a nut, and the other end of the wire rod 4 is fixed to the rear end plate of the soot blower beam 1 by a nut.
[0023] The sports car 2 is equipped with a cable tray 9. One end of the cable tray 9 is provided with a cable fixing plate 10 facing upwards, and the other end of the cable tray 9 is provided with a sports car fixing plate 11 facing downwards. The output end of the spiral cable 5 is installed on the cable fixing plate 10. The output end of the spiral cable 5 extends downwards and is electrically connected to the motor of the sports car 2. The sports car fixing plate 11 is fixed to the sports car 2 by bolts.
[0024] The soot blowing nozzle 8 has a lower nozzle 12 below the head and an upper nozzle 13 above the middle part of the soot blowing nozzle 8. The two sides of the head of the soot blowing nozzle 8 are sloping, and the internal cavity space of the soot blowing nozzle 8 gradually decreases from the middle part to the head.
[0025] A triangular-section guide step 14 is provided on the inner wall of the soot blowing nozzle 8 located at the lower nozzle 12.
[0026] The inner wall of the soot blowing nozzle 8 located at the upper nozzle 13 is provided with a guide protrusion 15 with an inverted trapezoidal cross section.
[0027] The top of the blowing nozzle 8 is curved.
[0028] Both the lower nozzle 12 and the upper nozzle 13 are frustum-shaped holes, with the outlet diameter being larger than the inlet diameter.
[0029] The lower nozzle 12 has a first arc-shaped guide surface 16 on the top inlet end hole wall, and the upper nozzle 13 has a second arc-shaped guide surface 17 on the bottom inlet end hole wall.
[0030] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 As shown, the gear on the trolley 2 meshes with the rack at the bottom of the sootblower beam 1. The motor drives the gear to rotate, and the trolley 2 moves back and forth along the rack. The gun barrel 3 is installed in the packing chamber of the trolley 2. Opening the valve at the tail of the sootblower beam 1 allows the sootblowing medium to be transported through the inner tube into the gun barrel 3, and then ejected by the sootblowing nozzle 8. During operation, the oscillating box drives the sootblowing nozzle 8 to oscillate around its axis via a bevel gear transmission mechanism, increasing the sootblowing area. When the trolley 2 moves forward, the spiral cable 5 is stretched by the cable support plate 9; when the trolley 2 moves backward, the spiral cable 5 retracts and returns to its original position. The cable support plate 9, while stretching the spiral cable 5, also supports it from below.
[0031] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the right side is the air inlet of the sootblowing nozzle 8. Gas enters in the direction of the arrow. The guide protrusion 15 protrudes downwards. After the airflow contacts the guide protrusion 15, it flows downwards. Part of the gas is ejected through the upper nozzle 13, and the remaining gas flows through the gap between the guide protrusion 15 and the guide step 14 to the lower nozzle 12 and is ejected. Because some gas is ejected through the upper nozzle 13, the gas pressure decreases. The head of the sootblowing nozzle 8 has inclined surfaces on both sides, which reduces the gas delivery space and increases the gas pressure, making the gas flow rates ejected from the lower nozzle 12 and the upper nozzle 13 the same. The cooperation between the guide protrusion 15 and the guide step 14 makes the inner wall of the sootblowing nozzle 8 have a streamlined design.
