Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of economizers, and more specifically, to an economizer ash conveying device. Background Technology
[0002] In thermal power plants, the ash conveying system is an important part of the plant's operation, and it uses compressed air ash conveying technology.
[0003] The ash in the economizer ash hopper of pulverized coal boilers is easily affected by factors such as high carbon content in the coal and improper control of pulverized coal particle size, resulting in large and heavy ash particles. Originally, a silo pump 8 relied on compressed air pressure to transport the ash to the ash silo hundreds of meters away. Figure 1 (Middle dashed line) Long-term operation will cause wear and tear on the ash conveying pipeline and waste a lot of compressed air, posing a hidden danger to the long-term stable operation of the boiler.
[0004] Chinese patent application CN219913105U discloses a non-powered ash conveying device for an economizer ash hopper, comprising a furnace, an ash hopper, and a slag remover. The slag remover is located below the ash hopper, the furnace is under negative pressure, and a slag bin is configured at the output end of the slag remover. This device eliminates the need for compressed air ash conveying, is suitable for conveying large-particle coal powder, and avoids clogging of the ash conveying route due to sedimentation.
[0005] The above-mentioned scheme has the following shortcomings: The economizer ash conveying system uses compressed air for conveying. The existing system consists of a discharge dome valve, a bin pump, and conveying pipelines. Large particles in the fly ash are collected from below the economizer ash hopper. Under the control of the ash conveying programmable control system, the ash is discharged sequentially by each bin pump and then uniformly conveyed to the electrostatic precipitator inlet. However, the material falling from the ash hopper may form clumps due to long-term accumulation. These clumps fall into the conveying pipe and block the pipe. Long-term accumulation of large amounts of ash can cause the conveying pipe to sink and even collapse, posing a safety hazard. This seriously affects the safe and stable operation of the ash conveying system. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the above deficiencies, this application provides an economizer ash conveying device, which aims to improve the safety hazard of materials falling from the ash hopper potentially forming clumps due to long-term accumulation. These clumps can then fall into the conveying pipe, causing blockage and eventually leading to the pipe sinking and collapsing due to long-term and large-scale ash accumulation. This seriously affects the practicality of the ash conveying system's safe and stable operation.

Each crushing strip 11 is staggered with each right-angle strip 7. When the crushing plate 8 is in contact with the right-angle strips 7, each crushing strip 11 will insert into the gap between each right-angle strip 7, push out the material stuck in the gap, and at the same time improve the crushing degree.
[0046] In a specific configuration, the crushing bar 11 has multiple serrations on the side facing the right-angle bar 7. The serrations are designed to improve the crushing degree.

The crushing plate crushes the material falling into the corners of the right-angle bars 7. When the crushing plate 8 is connected to the right-angle bars 7, each crushing bar 11 will insert into the gap between each right-angle bar 7, pushing out the material stuck in the gap. After crushing is completed, the crushing plate 8 is reset, and then the pneumatic isolation valve 2 of the discharge cylinder 10 is opened, and the crushed material enters the existing conveying pipe for conveying.
