[0002] The coal feeding device is a crucial component of a circulating fluidized bed boiler, and its structure is extremely important for boiler operation. Traditional coal feeding devices were bulky, making transportation, installation, disassembly, and maintenance inconvenient and costly. They were also prone to wear, deformation, and coal blockage, all of which could affect the safe operation of the boiler. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model designs a coal feeding device.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A coal feeding device includes a main conveying pipe, which is inclined at an angle to the horizontal and arranged on the furnace. The bottom end of the main conveying pipe is connected to the furnace. A sealing air duct and a coal feeding port are arranged at the upper end of the main conveying pipe. A material discharge port is also provided on the main conveying pipe below the sealing air duct and the coal feeding port. A coal spreading air duct is arranged at the lower part of the main conveying pipe. The sealing air duct and the coal spreading air duct are connected to the positive pressure hot air of the system.

[0006] Sealed air ducts and coal feeding ducts are connected to the positive pressure hot air system to promote and ensure the safe transport of fuel in the main conveying pipe. A blind flange-type coal clearing port is installed, which can be opened in case of an emergency to manually clear any internal fuel blockages. The main conveying pipe is inclined at a certain angle to the horizontal and positioned at a suitable height from the furnace. The pipe diameter is designed according to the appropriate speed, which is beneficial for fuel transport and avoids direct erosion of the air caps inside the furnace, preventing wear. It also reasonably avoids the ash inlet in the furnace, playing a crucial role in reducing the carbon content of the bottom ash and improving boiler efficiency. Sealed air ducts are located above the main conveying pipe and are connected to the positive pressure hot air system. With an appropriate flow rate design, they promote fuel transport in the main conveying pipe and provide a sealing effect, ensuring safe transport. Coal feeding ducts are located at the bottom and are also connected to the positive pressure hot air system. With an appropriate flow rate design, they promote fuel transport in the main conveying pipe, prevent coal from sticking or caking at the furnace inlet, and prevent backflow of flue gas inside the furnace.

[0007] Preferably, the discharge port is arranged vertically, and its bottom is connected to the main conveying pipe. This facilitates the fuel's descent using its own gravity.

[0008] Preferably, the sealed air duct and the coal inlet are fixedly connected to the main conveying pipe via flanges.

[0009] Preferably, the main delivery pipe is welded to a steel plate connected to the membrane water-cooled wall using a lightweight hanging device.

[0010] Preferably, the lightweight hanging device uses a horizontal long pipe clamp to fix the main delivery pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the main conveying pipe is sealed with a cover to prevent flue gas leakage from the furnace and ensure safe operation.

[0012] Preferably, the outer circumference of the casing is provided with multiple expansion joints to prevent deformation and cracking of the casing during long-term use in high-temperature environments.

[0013] Preferably, the main conveying pipe, the sealing air duct, and the coal feeding air duct are all made of stainless steel. The smooth interior facilitates fuel transport and allows for long-term use in high-temperature environments, while also being wear-resistant and reliable.

[0014] Preferably, the housing is welded to the membrane water-cooled wall using a comb-shaped plate structure.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The coal feeding device of this utility model is equipped with parts such as a material discharge port, a sealed air duct, a coal feeding air duct, and a coal chute, which ensures the safe and reliable transportation of fuel and allows for manual clearing in case of an accident; it is equipped with a lightweight hanging device to suspend the coal feeding device on the membrane water-cooled wall, making installation simple, convenient, and safe; and it is equipped with a sealed cover to ensure that the cover does not deform or crack during long-term use in high-temperature environments.

[0029] like Figures 6-9 As shown, the casing 7 is a comb-shaped plate structure welded to the membrane water-cooled wall. The casing steel plate at the connection point with the main delivery pipe 1 has pre-drilled holes to allow for sealing and welding after the main delivery pipe 1 is inserted during installation. Multiple expansion joints 8 are installed on the casing.

[0030] The main conveying pipe 1 of this utility model's coal feeding device is inclined at a certain angle to the horizontal, designed with an appropriate speed, and positioned at a suitable height from the furnace. The sealed air duct 1 and coal feeding air duct 4 are configured with appropriate flow rates. All ducts are connected to the system's positive pressure hot air, ensuring safe fuel delivery and preventing adhesion or caking. A blind flange-type coal chute 5 is also provided, which can be opened in case of an accident for manual clearing of internal fuel blockages. The entire coal feeding device is suspended from the membrane water-cooled wall by a lightweight hanging device 6, making installation simple and reliable. Furthermore, the bottom of the coal feeding device is sealed with a cover 7 equipped with multiple expansion joints 8, preventing deformation and cracking of the cover during long-term use in high-temperature environments.
