[0002] In many industrial sectors, such as power plants, steel mills, metal smelters, chemical plants, cement plants, as well as domestic boilers, waste disposal, and hazardous waste treatment, flues play a crucial role in transporting high-temperature flue gas.

However, this special polygonal structure results in a large number of sharp angles inside the flue. Traditional mechanical cleaning equipment is generally designed for circular flues, but due to the irregular internal space of polygonal flues, it is difficult to adapt to their special shape, resulting in many blind spots in cleaning.

[0032] Working principle:
[0033] Start the fan motor 22. The fan motor 22 rotates, driving the fan 21 to rotate. The rotation of the fan 21 generates suction, drawing the flue gas into the interior of the flue 2 through the flue pipe 3. The impurity removal plate 19 filters large particles in the flue gas.

Start Motor 5 drives the driven gear 24 to rotate, which in turn drives the chain gear 17 to rotate. The chain gear 17 then drives the connecting rod 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the lower chain gear 17 to rotate, thereby driving the upper and lower chains 15 to rotate. The rotation of the chains 15 causes the scraper 14 to slide along the inner wall of the flue 2, thereby scraping off the deposits on the inner wall of the flue 2. The solution mixed with the deposits is scraped off into the sewage tank and discharged through the drain pipe 18.
[0034] The flue duct 2 is equipped with a flue scraper assembly. The first motor 5 drives the motor gear 6, and then the connecting rod 25 drives the eight chain gears 17 to rotate simultaneously. The rotation of the eight chain gears 17 drives the two chains 15 to rotate, thereby driving the scraper 14 on the chain 15 to slide along the inner wall of the polygonal flue 2 to clean the polygonal flue 2, which can clean the impurities in the corners of the square flue.
[0035] The solution is delivered from the solution tank 7 to the solution pipe 8, and then to the nozzle fixing pipe 10. The nozzle fixing pipe 10 then sprays the solution through the nozzle 23 into the interior of the flue 2, reducing the adhesion of impurities and assisting the scraper 14 in removing the impurities.
