Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of condenser cleaning systems, and in particular relates to a condenser cleaning system ball recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] A condenser is a heat exchange device used in power plants to condense exhaust steam into water. Due to prolonged use, scale can easily accumulate in the cooling tubes. There are several reasons for this, such as a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tube causing salt to precipitate out of the water, or impurities in the water.

[0003] To prevent scale and other impurities from affecting the condenser, a condenser cleaning system is typically used, which involves inserting a large number of condenser balls (e.g., 1200 balls) into the copper tubes of the condenser. After rinsing, the condenser cleaning system in power plants needs to periodically collect the condenser balls. Condenser balls are consumables and frequently experience wear and even breakage. During ball collection, defective balls often need to be picked out while qualified balls are collected. Power plants usually collect these manually, requiring workers to pick up the balls by hand and place them into a container, which is labor-intensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, picking the balls is a repetitive, low-skilled task that demands significant worker effort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a condenser cleaning system ball recovery device to solve the above problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A condenser cleaning system ball recovery device includes:

[0007] A separation mechanism for separating rubber balls and cleaning fluid includes a separation box, a drain basket, a baffle, a control assembly, and a first support leg. The separation box has a top opening and a removable drain basket inside, which is shaped like an inverted cone. The drain basket has a bottom opening, and the bottom of the separation box, directly opposite the bottom opening of the drain basket, has a discharge port. A horizontally sliding baffle is located at the discharge port, and the baffle is controlled to open and close by the control assembly. The lower part of the separation box has a water outlet, and the bottom of the separation box has a first support leg.

[0008] The screening mechanism, located directly below the separation mechanism, is used to screen the rubber balls. It includes a screening barrel, a screen plate, a guide cone, a rotating shaft, a motor, and a second support leg. The screening barrel is cylindrical with an opening at the top. Inside the screening barrel, a horizontally rotating screen plate divides the screening barrel into upper and lower parts: a screening chamber and a collection chamber. A guide cone is located at the center of the upper surface of the screen plate. A side outlet is located on the side wall of the screening chamber, and a guide plate is located on the inner side wall of the screening chamber at the side outlet to guide the rubber balls into the side outlet. The rotating shaft is vertically rotatable inside the screening barrel. The upper end of the rotating shaft is connected to the screen plate, and the lower end extends through the bottom of the screening barrel and is connected to the motor. The bottom of the screening barrel has a bottom outlet, and a second support leg is also located at the bottom of the screening barrel.

[0009] Furthermore, the control component is a cylinder, which is horizontally positioned at the bottom of the separation box, and the cylinder's extension rod is connected to the baffle.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two baffles, which are set at the bottom of the separation box in a split configuration, and the two baffles are controlled by two cylinders respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the separation box is provided with a slot, and the baffle is slidably inserted into the slot.

[0012] Furthermore, a scraper is provided on the rotating shaft located inside the collection chamber. The scraper is arranged in the radial direction of the screening barrel and is in contact with the bottom of the collection chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom outlet is elongated, and its length extends radially along the screening barrel.

[0014] Furthermore, the screening barrel is equipped with a ring-shaped support, on which the screen plate rests.

[0015] Furthermore, the separation box has a rectangular structure, and the drain basket is inserted inside the separation box.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the condenser cleaning system ball recovery device of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] The colloid ball recovery device of the condenser cleaning system described in this utility model includes a separation mechanism and a screening mechanism. The separation mechanism separates the colloid balls and cleaning liquid. The separated colloid balls enter the screening mechanism, where broken or non-compliant colloid balls are removed, and compliant colloid balls are collected, reducing manual operation and improving work efficiency. In use, the cleaning liquid containing colloid balls is introduced into the separation tank. The separation mechanism is equipped with a drain basket, which is used to separate the colloid balls and cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid is discharged through the outlet, while the colloid balls remain in the drain basket. After the water is drained, the baffle is opened, and the colloid balls fall into the screening mechanism through the discharge port. The guide cone in the screening barrel guides the colloid balls falling into the screening barrel to the edge of the screening barrel. The screen plate can screen out small-sized, broken colloid balls and let them fall into the collection chamber below. Colloid balls that meet the size requirements remain on the screen plate and rotate with the screen plate to the side outlet. The guide plate can block the colloid balls from continuing to move with the screen plate and guide the colloid balls to be discharged from the side outlet. Colloid balls that fall into the collection chamber are discharged from the bottom outlet. Attached Figure Description
