Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluidized bed boilers, and in particular to a fluidized bed boiler that burns biomass. Background Technology
[0002] Fluidized bed boilers are high-efficiency, low-pollution boilers that utilize fluidized bed combustion technology. Their core principle is to fluidize fuel particles through high-speed airflow, creating a fluid-like combustion state. This results in advantages such as strong fuel adaptability, high combustion efficiency, and low pollutant emissions. Biomass-fired fluidized bed boilers utilize biomass as fuel, effectively reducing harmful exhaust gases produced in the combustion chamber while conserving resources.
[0003] Existing fluidized bed boilers that burn biomass use conveying devices to transport biomass and limestone into the boiler for fluidized combustion. However, conveying biomass and limestone requires two separate conveying devices, resulting in a large space occupation and increased operating costs. Furthermore, during the conveying process, the conveying devices cannot be ventilated, causing materials to easily adhere to the inner walls of the conveying devices, thus affecting the conveying efficiency and throughput.

[0014] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0015] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a fluidized bed boiler that burns biomass includes a boiler body 1, a separator 7, and a heat exchange device 9. The bottom of the boiler body 1 is provided with a combustion chamber 2, and the boiler body 1 is provided with a water-cooled wall 3 and a heating plate 4. The upper end of the boiler body 1 is provided with a steam drum 5. The heat exchange device 9 is divided into a superheater and an economizer along the flue gas flow direction. The superheater is provided with a steam discharge pipe 10, and the economizer is provided with a cold water injection pipe 11. A feeding structure 6 is connected to the boiler body 1. The separator 7 is connected to the boiler body 1 through a flue gas pipe, and the lower end of the separator 7 is provided with a return pipe 8.
[0016] The return pipe 8 at the lower end of the separator 7 is connected to the lower end of the boiler body 1, and the upper end of the separator 7 is provided with a pipe connected to the heat exchange device 9. The ends of the steam discharge pipe 10 and the cold water injection pipe 11 are both connected to the steam drum 5, and the steam drum 5 is connected to the water-cooled wall 3 and the heating plate 4. An air preheater 12 is provided at the lower end of the interior of the heat exchange device 9. A first air duct 13 and a second air duct 14 are respectively connected to the two air preheaters 12. One end of the first air duct 13 is connected to the bottom of the boiler body 1, and the other end is provided with a first fan 15. One end of the second air duct 14 is connected to the middle of the boiler body 1, and the other end is provided with a second fan 16.
[0017] When using a fluidized bed boiler that burns biomass, the feed structure 6 is used to transport biomass and limestone to the combustion chamber 2 inside the boiler body 1. The first blower 15 is started and blows air from the bottom of the boiler body 1 through the first air duct 13. The blown air acts on the biomass and limestone to form a fluidized bed, and combustion takes place inside the combustion chamber 2. Meanwhile, the air generated by the second blower 16 is blown into the middle of the boiler body 1 through the second air duct 14, which can supplement oxygen and enhance combustion, thereby improving the combustion effect.
[0018] The flue gas generated by combustion flows upward through the flue gas duct into the separator 7. During this process, the water-cooled wall 3 and the heating plate 4 are subjected to thermal radiation and transfer heat to the steam drum 5. The water in the steam drum 5 is heated to form high-temperature steam and is discharged through the steam exhaust pipe 10. The flue gas entering the separator 7 is separated. The unburned solid residue falls into the boiler body 1 through the return pipe 8 to continue combustion, while the gas is transported through the pipeline to the heat exchange device 9 and flows downward. When the flue gas flows to the superheater area, it further heats the steam in the steam exhaust pipe 10 in that area to form superheated steam for discharge. When the flue gas flows to the economizer area, it preheats the cold water in the cold water injection pipe 11 in that area. The preheated water is injected into the steam drum 5 and can quickly absorb heat and evaporate, which can improve the boiler efficiency. When the flue gas continues to move to the air preheater 12, it can preheat the gas flowing in the first air duct 13 and the second air duct 14, which can both heat the combustion air and further reduce the temperature of the discharged flue gas.
[0019] According to the above implementation scheme, the feeding structure 6 includes a conveying pipe 601, a first hopper 602, a second hopper 603, a control valve 604, a discharge pipe 605, a conveying screw 606, and a drive motor 607. The conveying pipe 601 is installed and connected to the boiler body 1. The first hopper 602 and the second hopper 603 are installed on the conveying pipe 601. Two control valves 604 are respectively set at the lower ends of the first hopper 602 and the second hopper 603. The discharge pipe 605 is installed at the end of the conveying pipe 601 and is connected to the boiler body 1. The conveying screw 606 is rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe 601. The drive motor 607 is fixed at the end of the conveying pipe 601, and the output shaft of the drive motor 607 is connected to the conveying screw 606.
[0020] The feeding structure 6 also includes a pressure sensor 608, a partition 609, an air outlet 610, an air chamber 611, a vent pipe 612, and an air pump 613. The pressure sensor 608 is installed on the conveying pipe 601, the partition 609 is fixed inside the conveying pipe 601, the air outlet 610 is opened on the partition 609, the air chamber 611 is located between the conveying pipe 601 and the partition 609, the vent pipe 612 is connected to the conveying pipe 601 and communicates with the air chamber 611, and the air pump 613 is connected to the vent pipe 612.
[0021] When using the feeding structure 6, the first hopper 602 and the second hopper 603 are filled with biomass and limestone, respectively. After starting the drive motor 607, the conveying screw 606 rotates inside the conveying pipe 601. After opening the corresponding control valve 604, the material in the hopper falls into the conveying pipe 601 and is moved by the conveying screw 606, and finally conveyed into the boiler body 1. By opening and closing the control valve 604, different materials in the two hoppers can be conveyed separately. Simultaneously, during material conveying, the air pump 613 is activated. After the gas is compressed, it is delivered to the air chamber 611 through the air pipe 612, and finally blown into the conveying screw 606 on the conveying pipe 601 through the air outlet 610 on the partition 609. The high-pressure gas blown out cleans the inside of the conveying pipe 601, ensuring complete material conveying and avoiding blockage. At the same time, during use, the pressure sensor 608 monitors the air pressure inside the conveying pipe 601 in real time and feeds back the air pressure data. Based on the feedback data, the air pump 613 adjusts the air pressure to ensure operational stability.
[0022] It should be noted that by setting the feeding structure 6, the first hopper 602 and the second hopper 603 are installed on the conveying pipe 601 and used in conjunction with the control valve 604. The same set of conveying pipes 601 and conveying screws 606 can be used to convey biomass and limestone respectively, which reduces the space occupied and the operating cost. A baffle 609 is set at the end of the conveying pipe 601 near the drive motor 607. An air outlet 610 is opened on the baffle 609. It is used in conjunction with the air pipe 612 and the air pump 613 to blow air during the material conveying process. The air blows the material to prevent the material from adhering to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 601, which can ensure the conveying effect and avoid blockage.
