[0003] Currently, the outlet pipe of the pyrolysis furnace is connected to the quench heat exchanger via an inlet cone. Since the temperature of the flowing material is typically around 800℃, insulation measures are required for the inlet cone. Existing technology usually involves filling the inlet cone with insulation material. However, because the insulation material and the inlet cone are made of different materials, their thermal expansion rates differ at high temperatures, making the insulation material prone to damage and thus reducing its insulation effectiveness.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0031] This embodiment provides an inlet connection structure for a quench heat exchanger, which can avoid the problem of the heat insulation component squeezing the inlet cone and the problem of gaps between the heat insulation component and the inner wall of the second heat insulation cavity, and can also improve the heat insulation effect of the inlet cone.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inlet connection structure of the quench heat exchanger of this utility model includes an inner tube 100, an inlet cone 200, ceramic fiber paper 300, and a heat insulation component 400. One end of the inlet cone 200 is used to communicate with the outlet pipe (not shown in the figure) of the pyrolysis furnace, and the other end is connected to the inner tube 100. The inlet cone 200 is provided with a first heat insulation cavity. The ceramic fiber paper 300 covers the inner wall of the first heat insulation cavity, and the ceramic fiber paper 300 surrounds the first heat insulation cavity to form a second heat insulation cavity. The heat insulation component 400 fills the second heat insulation cavity.
[0033] The quench heat exchanger inlet connection structure provided in this embodiment is equipped with ceramic fiber paper 300. The ceramic fiber paper 300 covers the inner wall of the first insulation cavity of the inlet cone 200, and the ceramic fiber paper 300 surrounds the first insulation cavity to form a second insulation cavity. The insulation element 400 fills the second insulation cavity. When the high-temperature gas in the pyrolysis furnace enters the inner tube 100 through the inlet cone 200, both the inlet cone 200 and the insulation element 400 expand due to heat. The ceramic fiber paper 300 can absorb the difference in expansion between the inlet cone 200 and the insulation element 400, avoiding the problem of compression between the insulation element 400 and the inlet cone 200, and reducing the probability of damage to the insulation element 400. In addition, the ceramic fiber paper 300 has good thermal insulation properties, which can further improve the thermal insulation effect of the inlet cone 200.
[0034] In this embodiment, the inlet cone 200 is made of heat-resistant steel, which gives it good high-temperature oxidation resistance.
[0035] Furthermore, the inlet cone 200 has an inner sleeve 220 and an outer sleeve 210 on the inner and outer walls of the first insulation cavity. The outer sleeve 210 is sleeved on the outside of the inner sleeve 220. The outer sleeve 210 includes a first end 211 and a second end 212. The inner sleeve 220 includes a third end 221 and a fourth end 222. Along the circumference of the outer sleeve 210, that is, the first insulation cavity is an annular cavity that extends circumferentially along the inlet cone 200 and is connected end to end, with the upper end open.
[0036] In this embodiment, both the first heat insulation cavity and the second heat insulation cavity are open-mouthed, and the openings 510 of the first heat insulation cavity and the second heat insulation cavity are both arranged facing the upper inner tube 100, so as to facilitate the placement of ceramic fiber paper 300 on the inner wall of the first heat insulation cavity and to facilitate the filling of heat insulation component 400 into the second heat insulation cavity.
[0037] Optionally, along the circumference of the outer sleeve 210, the outer walls of the first end 211 and the third end 221 are integrally connected by an arc surface 230. This structural design can increase the thickness at the connection position between the first end 211 and the third end 221, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the first end 211 and the third end 221, and also reducing the connection difficulty between the first end 211 and the third end 221, thus improving production efficiency.
[0038] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inlet connection structure of the quench heat exchanger also includes a sealing ring 500. A stepped sealing groove 2221 is provided on the upper end of the outer wall of the fourth end 222. The sealing groove 2221 extends along the circumference of the inner sleeve 220 and is connected end to end. A notch is provided on one side wall of the sealing groove 2221. The notch extends along the circumference of the inner sleeve 220 and is connected end to end. The inner sleeve 220 is coaxial with the inner tube 100, and the fourth end 222 is inserted into the inner tube 100. The sealing ring 500 is sandwiched between the other side inner wall of the sealing groove 2221 and the bottom end of the inner tube 100, thereby realizing the sealed connection between the inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100.
[0039] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 500 is made of a metal material (e.g., heat-resistant steel) with good heat resistance properties to accommodate the high-temperature gas flowing in the inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100. At this time, the sealing ring 500 can play a good heat insulation role, reduce the heat transferred from the inner tube 100 to the fourth end 222, prevent the fourth end 222 from thermal deformation, and extend the service life of the inlet cone 200.
[0040] Furthermore, the outer wall of the sealing ring 500 is provided with an opening 510, which extends circumferentially along the sealing ring 500 and is connected end to end. The inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100 will both undergo thermal expansion under high temperature conditions, thereby compressing the sealing ring 500 in the axial direction. Providing an opening 510 on the outer wall of the sealing ring 500 helps the sealing ring 500 deform after being compressed, reducing the probability of the sealing ring 500 being crushed. Moreover, when the temperature of the inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100 decreases and they contract, the sealing ring 500 is no longer subjected to axial compression. The design of the opening 510 helps the sealing ring 500 to rebound, so that the sealing ring 500 always remains in a compressed state. It can be seen that the structural design of providing an opening 510 on the outer wall of the sealing ring 500 can improve the sealing reliability of the sealing ring 500.
[0041] Optionally, the inlet connection structure of the quench heat exchanger of this utility model also includes an outer tube 600, which is sleeved on the outside of the inner tube 100 and has a gap between it and the outer wall of the inner tube 100. The bottom end of the outer wall of the outer tube 600 is fixedly connected to the second end 212. The inner wall of the outer tube 600 is provided with a protrusion 610, which extends circumferentially along the outer tube 600 and is connected end to end. The side of the protrusion 610 facing the axis of the outer tube 600 is connected to the bottom outer wall of the inner tube 100, and the bottom end of the protrusion 610 is sealed to the heat insulation component 400. In practical applications, high-temperature pyrolysis gas flows between the inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100, and heat exchange medium (e.g., water) flows in the gap between the inner tube 100 and the outer tube 600. This structural design can ensure the normal flow of high-temperature heat exchange medium and also ensure the sealing between the outer tube 600 and the inlet cone 200, avoiding the problem of heat exchange medium overflow.
[0042] Furthermore, the outer wall of the outer tube 600 is welded and fixed to the end face of the second end 212 to achieve a fixed connection between the outer tube 600 and the outer sleeve 210.
[0043] Optionally, the inlet connection structure of the quench heat exchanger of this utility model also includes a ceramic fiber rope 700. The ceramic fiber rope 700 is arranged circumferentially along the inner sleeve 220 and connected end to end. Along the radial direction of the outer tube 600, at least a portion of the ceramic fiber rope 700 is sandwiched between the protrusion 610 and the heat insulation member 400 to achieve sealing and heat insulation between the protrusion 610 and the heat insulation member 400. In particular, it can prevent the heat insulation member 400 from being damaged by heat, thereby preventing the problem of local deformation of the inlet cone 200 caused by high temperature gas contacting the inlet cone 200. It has the effect of extending the service life of the inlet cone 200.
[0044] Furthermore, a portion of the ceramic fiber rope 700 is sandwiched between the inner tube 100 and the heat insulation component 400, further improving the sealing performance between the inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100.
[0045] Optionally, a first expansion gap 810 is left between the outer wall of the fourth end 222 and the inner wall of the inner tube 100. When the materials of the inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100 are different, their thermal expansion amounts are different under high temperature conditions. The design of the first expansion gap 810 provides radial expansion space for the inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100, avoiding problems such as mutual squeezing and collision in the radial direction when they thermally expand.
[0046] Furthermore, the inner tube 100 has a flared end 110 facing the fourth end 222, so that the fourth end 222 can be inserted into the flared end 110. A second expansion gap 820 is left between the end face of the fourth end 222 and the diameter change of the flared end 110. The design of the second expansion gap 820 provides axial expansion space for the inner sleeve 220 and the inner tube 100, avoiding problems such as mutual compression and collision in the axial direction when the two are thermally expanded.
[0047] Optionally, the heat insulation component 400 is a non-metallic castable, such as alumina castable. Liquid castable is poured into the second heat insulation cavity, and after the castable solidifies, a solid heat insulation component 400 is formed. Compared with filling the second heat insulation cavity with heat insulation component 400, the method of pouring liquid castable into the second heat insulation cavity is simpler and helps to reduce production difficulty and production cost.
[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
