Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxidation tower cleaning technology, and in particular to a device for unclogging the cone section at the bottom of the tower. Background Technology

[0002] The bottom of the absorption oxidation tower in the sulfur recovery unit is mostly conical. After long-term use, sulfur will block the bottom of the absorption oxidation tower, causing the internal and external circulation terminals of the absorption oxidation tower to be blocked. Sulfur cannot be produced in the absorption oxidation tower, which will directly cause the sulfur recovery unit to shut down, acid gas to be released, and environmental non-compliance incidents to occur.

[0003] When the cone section of the existing absorption oxidation tower becomes blocked, it cannot be manually disassembled and cleaned. If the cone valve is opened for cleaning, the solution inside the absorption oxidation tower will flow out uncontrollably, causing large-scale pollution and posing a significant safety risk.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a device for cleaning the cone section at the bottom of the tower, which is more convenient for cleaning the cone section of the absorption oxidation tower compared to existing technologies. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are not all embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model. It should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a device for unclogging the bottom cone of a tower, including a draining component, a collecting component, and a cutting component. The collecting component is detachably connected to the bottom of the absorption oxidation tower 1. The cutting component passes through the collecting component and is located inside the absorption oxidation tower 1. The cutting component is used to cut the sulfur inside the absorption oxidation tower 1. The draining component is located on the side wall of the collecting component and is used to drain the solution inside the absorption oxidation tower 1.

[0025] The bottom of the absorption oxidation tower 1 is conical. Since this is a conventional structure of existing absorption oxidation towers 1, therefore... Figure 1 (Not shown in the diagram) The bottom of the absorption oxidation tower 1 is integrally connected to a first connecting flange 101; a valve is provided at the bottom of the absorption oxidation tower 1, and the valve is located above the first connecting flange 101.

[0026] The collection assembly includes a second connecting flange 2 and a collection tank 3. The second connecting flange 2 is located below the first connecting flange 101. The first connecting flange 101 and the second connecting flange 2 are detachably connected by bolts. The collection tank 3 is integrally connected below the second connecting flange 2. When the valve is opened, the absorption oxidation tower 1, the first connecting flange 101, the second connecting flange 2, and the collection tank 3 are connected in sequence.

[0027] The cutting assembly includes a telescopic rod 4, a handle 5, and cutting blades 6. The telescopic rod 4 passes through the collection tank 3, the second connecting flange 2, and the first connecting flange 101, extending into the absorption oxidation tower 1. Multiple cutting blades 6 are fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 4 extending into the absorption oxidation tower 1, and these blades are spaced apart circumferentially along the telescopic rod 4. The handle 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic rod 4 that does not extend into the absorption oxidation tower 1, and the axis of the handle 5 is perpendicular to the axis of the telescopic rod 4. The telescopic rod 4 can be extended and adjusted in length. After adjustment, it can be fixed in place, and its length is not adjusted during use. The specific structure of the telescopic rod 4 is an existing structure and will not be described again. A sealing plug 11 is provided at the connection between the telescopic rod 4 and the bottom of the collection tank 3. The sealing plug 11 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 4 and embedded in the bottom of the collection tank 3. The telescopic rod 4 can move up and down and rotate relative to the sealing plug 11. The sealing plug 11 prevents the solution in the collection tank 3 from flowing out from the bottom.

[0028] The drainage assembly includes a drainage pipe 7, a quick connector 8, and a drainage hose 9. One end of the drainage pipe 7 is connected to the side wall of the collection tank 3 and is connected to the inside of the collection tank 3. The other end of the drainage pipe 7 is connected to the drainage hose 9 through the quick connector 8. A ball valve 10 is provided at the connection between the quick connector 8 and the drainage pipe 7. The ball valve 10 controls the opening and closing of the drainage assembly.

[0029] The working principle of the bottom cone unblocking device provided by this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to clean the bottom of the absorption oxidation tower 1, open the valve and ball valve 10 at the bottom of the absorption oxidation tower 1 to discharge the solution inside the absorption oxidation tower 1. Then, turn the handle 5 and move the telescopic rod 4 up and down to cut the sulfur block at the bottom of the absorption oxidation tower 1 into small pieces through the cutting blade 6, which fall into the collection tank 3 to complete the cleaning of the bottom of the absorption oxidation tower 1. After cleaning, remove the second connecting flange 2 from the first connecting flange 101 and pour out the sulfur block in the collection tank 3. When the absorption oxidation tower 1 is working normally, the valve and ball valve 10 are both in the closed state.

[0030] This invention solves the problem of blocked flow channels at the bottom cone of the absorption oxidation tower 1 while ensuring minimal changes to its structure. This facilitates the cleaning of blockages, reduces maintenance costs and labor intensity, avoids leakage and environmental pollution, and ensures the normal operation of the absorption oxidation tower 1.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above content is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model do not depart from the essence and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
