[0025] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0026] Example 1: As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown: This utility model provides a safety device for early warning and unblocking of fly ash transport pipelines in thermal power plants, including a transport pipeline 1, the rear end of which bends downwards, and a curved branch pipe is provided above the front end of the transport pipeline 1; an annular channel 2 is fixedly provided on the upper exterior of the transport pipeline 1, and six rows of eccentric channels 3 are connected to the top of the annular channel 2, with two sets of eccentric channels 3 in each row; a branch pipe is provided at the top of each eccentric channel 3, connected to a one-way valve A302 and a pressure limiter 4, and the one-way valve A302 is connected to the transport pipeline 1; the middle exterior of the transport pipeline 1... Two sets of air rings 5 ​​are fixedly installed; two sets of pressure boosting telescopic cylinders 6 are fixedly installed at the lower middle of the conveying pipeline 1, and two sets of one-way valves B601 are fixedly installed at the rear end of each pressure boosting telescopic cylinder 6, with the upper one-way valves B601 connected to the air rings 5; a sealing plate 7 is fixedly installed at the front end of the conveying pipeline 1, and an electric cylinder 701 is fixedly installed at the rear side of the sealing plate 7. A pipe inner mold 702 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 701, and the pipe inner mold 702 fits against the inner wall of the conveying pipeline 1; the rear upper part of the pipe inner mold 702 matches the upper bend of the conveying pipeline 1.

[0027] Among them, six sets of rubber sealing frames 101 are fixedly installed around the outside of the upper part of the conveying pipe 1, and each of the six sets of sealing frames 101 is fixedly installed with a vibrating fin 102; the vibrating fin 102 is located on the side of the conveying pipe 1 with a slope above it, and the vibrating fin 102 is located on the side of the conveying pipe 1 with two sets of triangular fins with the slope facing upwards.

[0028] Two sets of through holes are fixedly installed in the upper middle of the conveying pipe 1. A sponge plug 103 is fixedly installed in the lower part of each through hole, and an air inlet 104 is fixedly installed in the upper part of each through hole. The top of the air inlet 104 is connected to the air ring 5.

[0029] Among them, a speed measuring channel 105 is integrally provided at the front end of the rear bend of the conveying pipe 1, a speed measuring impeller 106 is rotatably provided in the speed measuring channel 105, and a trigger wheel 107 is fixedly provided at one end of the rotating shaft of the speed measuring impeller 106 through the speed measuring channel 105; a counting sensor 108 is fixedly provided outside the speed measuring channel 105, and a flange is integrally provided outside the trigger wheel 107 to trigger the counting sensor 108.

[0030] An impeller is rotatably installed inside the eccentric channel 3, and a striker 301 is fixedly installed outside the impeller shaft. The striker 301 is composed of two sets of spring telescopic rods. A hammer is fixedly installed at the end of each telescopic rod. When the striker 301 rotates, the hammer can contact the triangular fin outside the vibrating fin 102.

[0031] The pressure limiter 4 has two sets of guide plates 401 fixedly installed at the bottom inside, and trapezoidal blocks 402 slidably installed outside the guide plates 401. The bottom of the pressure limiter 4 is threadedly connected to a push screw 403.

[0033] Among them, four sets of directional rods 703 are fixedly installed at the front end of the inner mold of the pipe 702, and connecting rods 704 are fixedly installed at the front end of the four sets of directional rods 703.

[0034] The rear end of the connecting rod 704 is bent upward and fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the front booster telescopic cylinder 6; the rear end of the connecting rod 704 is provided with an extended L-shaped plate that is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the rear booster telescopic cylinder 6.

[0035] An air pump 8 is fixedly installed on the top front side of the conveying pipe 1, and the air outlet of the air pump 8 is connected to the annular channel 2.

[0036] When conveying and judging the status of fly ash: Fly ash is discharged from the bottom of the conveying pipe 1 from top to bottom. When discharged, it drives the speed measuring impeller 106 and the trigger wheel 107 to rotate. The trigger counting sensor 108 calculates the speed to judge the conveying status. An abnormality indicates blockage or failure of the counting sensor 108. It can be verified by two or more sets of counting sensors 108. For example, counting sensors 108 are installed on both sides of the speed measuring channel 105, and trigger wheels 107 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft of the speed measuring impeller 106 for double verification.

[0037] Propulsion and unblocking state: The electric cylinder 701 pushes the inner mold 702 of the pipe to increase pressure and unblock. During the movement, the pressure-boosting telescopic cylinder 6 is squeezed by the directional rod 703 and the connecting rod 704. The air in the pressure-boosting telescopic cylinder 6 is input into the air ring 5 through the upper one-way valve B601, and then enters the delivery pipe 1 through the air inlet 104 and the sponge plug 103 to assist in pressure boosting and unblocking. When the inner mold 702 of the pipe is reset, the pressure-boosting telescopic cylinder 6 extends and draws in air to replenish through the lower one-way valve B601.

[0038] Air pressure regulation and working condition: The push screw 403 lifts the trapezoidal block 402 and squeezes the movable trapezoidal block 404 to increase its spring pressure and improve the air pressure; the pressure limiter 4 ensures that air can still flow when the upper part of the conveying pipe 1 is severely blocked and air cannot enter, thus ensuring the normal rotation of the knocker 301.

[0039] Example 2: Air is pumped into the annular channel 2 by the air pump 8. The air is then pumped upward through the eccentric channel 3 and can be fed into the delivery pipe 1 through the one-way valve A302 or discharged to the outside through the pressure limiter 4. When the air passes through the eccentric channel 3, it drives the impeller inside to rotate, which in turn drives the knocker 301 to rotate synchronously, knocking the vibrating fins 102 to achieve vibration and unblocking.

[0040] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows: In this utility model, when in use, fly ash is conveyed from top to bottom and discharged from the bottom of the conveying pipe 1; During the discharge process, the fly ash drives the speed measuring impeller 106 to rotate, which in turn drives the trigger wheel 107 to rotate, triggering the counting sensor 108 to calculate the rotation speed and determine whether the fly ash is being transported normally. If the counting sensor 108 provides abnormal feedback, it indicates a blockage or a malfunction. You can choose to install two or more sets of counting sensors 108 to verify this and ensure that the counting sensor 108 accurately reports the blockage information. If a blockage occurs, begin clearing it. The electric cylinder 701 is activated to push the inner mold 702 of the pipe, directly pressurizing and pushing it to clear the blockage. During the movement of the inner mold 702, the directional rod 703 and the connecting rod 704 also squeeze the pressurizing telescopic cylinder 6, and the air in the pressurizing telescopic cylinder 6 is fed into the air ring 5 through the upper one-way valve B601, and then into the conveying pipe 1 through the air inlet 104 and the sponge plug 103 to assist in pressurizing and clearing the blockage. When the inner mold 702 of the pipeline is reset, the pressurizing telescopic cylinder 6 extends and draws in air through the one-way valve B601 below for replenishment. Start the air pump 8 to deliver air into the annular channel 2. The air is delivered upward through the eccentric channel 3 and enters the delivery pipeline 1 through the one-way valve A302 or is discharged to the outside through the pressure limiter 4. When air passes through the eccentric channel 3, it drives the impeller inside to rotate, which in turn causes the knocker 301 to rotate synchronously, knocking and vibrating the fins 102 to clear the blockage. The push screw 403 lifts the trapezoidal block 402, which can compress the movable trapezoidal block 404, increasing the spring pressure of the movable trapezoidal block 404 and thus increasing the air pressure. The pressure limiter 4 can ensure that air can still flow even when the upper part of the conveying pipe 1 is severely blocked and air cannot enter, ensuring that the knocker 301 can rotate and work.
