Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ash hopper cleaning technology, and in particular to an ash hopper cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, dust collection systems in industries such as power, metallurgy, and chemicals are crucial for collecting and temporarily storing dust. With prolonged operation, dust tends to accumulate and clump on the inner wall of the dust hopper. If not cleaned promptly, this can lead to a reduction in the effective volume of the hopper, decreased dust collection efficiency, and even material blockage, equipment corrosion, or safety accidents. Therefore, regular cleaning of the dust hopper is a key factor in ensuring the stable operation of the dust collection system.
[0003] Currently, dust hopper cleaning mainly employs manual cleaning, mechanical vibration cleaning, and high-pressure airflow purging. Manual cleaning requires personnel to enter the dust hopper, which, due to the confined space and harsh dust environment, is not only labor-intensive and inefficient but also poses safety hazards such as dust inhalation and mechanical impact. Mechanical vibration cleaning dislodges dust by vibrating the hopper walls, but the vibration force is difficult to control precisely; excessive force can cause deformation of the hopper walls and cracking of welds, while insufficient force fails to thoroughly remove stubborn dust. Furthermore, the high-frequency vibration generated during vibration can affect the stability of other components in the dust collection system. High-pressure airflow purging, while eliminating the need for personnel, has a limited purging range, only effective on areas directly covered by the airflow. It is ineffective at cleaning dust accumulation in corners and recessed areas of the hopper walls. Additionally, the high-pressure airflow can cause secondary dust re-entrainment, exacerbating dust dispersion and pollution.
[0004] There is an urgent need to develop a compact, flexible, efficient dust hopper cleaning device that can protect the inner wall of the dust hopper, in order to solve the problems of high safety hazards, high risk of equipment damage, and poor cleaning effect in the current dust hopper cleaning process, and to ensure the long-term stable operation of the dust removal system.

[0017] Beneficial effects
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] The traveling components on both sides of the machine provide the device with autonomous movement capability, eliminating the need for manual pushing or external traction. This avoids the safety hazards of personnel entering the ash hopper for operation. The limiting ring can precisely limit the contact between the electromagnetic block and the inner wall of the ash hopper, preventing the electromagnetic block from directly rubbing against the inner wall and causing scratches and wear, thus solving the problem of "hard friction damaging the ash hopper" in existing equipment. On the other hand, the ball bearings on the limiting ring convert the sliding friction between the device and the inner wall of the ash hopper into rolling friction, which not only reduces the resistance to movement but also makes the device move more smoothly.
[0020] The shovel can directly scrape the accumulated ash and clumps on the inner wall of the ash hopper, quickly loosening stubborn ash and solving the problem that high-pressure airflow blowing cannot remove ash with strong adhesion. The air jet nozzles tilted towards the front of the shovel can spray high-pressure airflow simultaneously when the shovel is working. On the one hand, it can blow the dust loosened by the shovel away from the inner wall in time to avoid secondary adhesion of dust. On the other hand, it can help clean the small gaps that are hard to reach by the edge of the shovel, achieving dual cleaning of "physical scraping and airflow assistance", which greatly improves cleaning efficiency and cleanliness.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figures 1-2 A dust hopper cleaning device includes a body 2, with traveling components arranged on opposite sides of the body 2. An electromagnetic block 8 and a limiting ring are arranged on the lower end face of the body 2. A ball bearing 7 is arranged on the limiting ring, which is used to limit the electromagnetic block 8 from contacting the inner wall of the dust hopper. A shovel plate 6 is arranged at the front end of the body 2. An air jet vent 5 is arranged on the shovel plate 6. The air jet vent 5 is inclined and faces the front end of the shovel plate 6.
[0028] The traveling components on both sides of the body 2 provide the device with autonomous movement capability, eliminating the need for manual pushing or external traction. This avoids the safety hazards of personnel entering the ash hopper for operation. The limiting ring can precisely limit the contact between the electromagnetic block 8 and the inner wall of the ash hopper, preventing the electromagnetic block 8 from directly rubbing against the inner wall and causing scratches and wear, thus solving the problem of "hard friction damaging the ash hopper" in existing equipment. On the other hand, the ball bearings 7 on the limiting ring convert the sliding friction between the device and the inner wall of the ash hopper into rolling friction, which not only reduces the resistance to movement but also makes the device move more smoothly.
[0029] The shovel plate 6 can directly scrape the accumulated ash and clumps on the inner wall of the ash hopper, quickly loosening stubborn ash and solving the problem that high-pressure airflow blowing cannot remove ash with strong adhesion. The jet nozzle 5, which is inclined towards the front end of the shovel plate 6, can spray high-pressure airflow simultaneously when the shovel plate 6 is working. On the one hand, it can blow the dust that has been scraped and loosened away from the inner wall in time to avoid secondary adhesion of dust. On the other hand, it can assist in cleaning the small gaps that are difficult to reach on the edge of the shovel plate 6, realizing dual cleaning of "physical scraping and airflow assistance", which greatly improves cleaning efficiency and cleanliness.
[0030] In other preferred embodiments, the traveling assembly includes a movable frame, a drive motor, and traveling tracks 3. Movable slots are provided on opposite sides of the body 2. The movable frame is slidably connected within the movable slots, and a spring is provided between the movable frame and the movable slots. The drive motor is fixedly connected to the movable frame and drives the traveling tracks 3. The springs ensure that the traveling tracks 3 are tightly fitted against the surface of the ash hopper.
[0031] Specifically, the track 3 is equipped with anti-slip protrusions, which are spaced apart along the length of the track 3 and made of wear-resistant rubber. These anti-slip protrusions, spaced apart along the track's length, can embed themselves into the dust layer or tiny depressions on the inner wall of the ash hopper, effectively suppressing slippage by increasing the contact friction between the track and the inner wall. For example, when the device moves upwards along the inclined wall of the ash hopper, the anti-slip protrusions can engage with the inner wall, stably transmitting driving force to the contact surface, ensuring the device moves along the preset path, avoiding interruptions to the cleaning operation due to slippage, and significantly improving the reliability of the movement process.
[0032] In other preferred embodiments, a limiting ring is arranged around the electromagnetic block 8, and multiple balls 7 are rotatably connected to the limiting ring and evenly distributed on the limiting ring. The multiple balls 7 rotatably connected to the limiting ring convert the sliding friction between the limiting ring and the inner wall of the ash hopper into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the resistance when the device moves.
[0033] Specifically, the electromagnetic block 8 is an electromagnet, and the body 2 is equipped with a battery and a current regulation module. The current regulation module is electrically connected to the electromagnetic block 8 and is used to adjust the magnetic force of the electromagnetic block 8.
[0034] In other preferred embodiments, the body 2 is provided with a connection port 1, the connection port 1 is connected to an air source pipeline, the input end of the air source pipeline is connected to a high-pressure air pump, and a flow control valve is provided on the air source pipeline to adjust the air flow of the air jet 5.
[0035] In other preferred embodiments, the shovel plate 6 is hinged to the machine body 2, and an extension plate is provided on the front side of the machine body 2. A spring rod 4 is provided between the extension plate and the shovel plate 6. During long-term cleaning operations, the front edge of the shovel plate 6 will gradually wear down due to friction with the inner wall of the ash hopper and the accumulated ash, resulting in a decrease in the height of the shovel plate 6 and a decrease in its fit with the inner wall. If it is not replaced in time, it will affect the cleaning effect. The spring rod 4 can compensate for the wear of the shovel plate 6 through elastic extension: when the edge of the shovel plate 6 is worn, the original length of the spring rod 4 is relatively too long. Under its own elastic force, the spring rod 4 will push the shovel plate 6 downward to make up for the height difference caused by wear, so that the shovel plate 6 can still maintain close contact with the inner wall.
[0036] In other preferred embodiments, the front edge of the shovel plate 6 is provided with a reinforcing layer, which is a high-hardness alloy.
[0037] In other preferred embodiments, the body 2 is also provided with a camera and a lighting component. The camera is used to collect image information inside the ash hopper, the lighting component is used to provide illumination for the camera, and the camera is connected to a remote control terminal.
[0038] In other preferred embodiments, a remote control module is provided inside the body 2. The remote control module includes a wireless communication unit and a control panel. The wireless communication unit is signal-connected to the control unit of the body 2 to realize remote control of the movement of the body 2 and the jet nozzle 5.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
