Description
Coal powder sampling device for boiler of thermal power plant TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of thermal power plants, in particular to a coal powder sampling device for a boiler of a thermal power plant. BACKGROUND
[0002] A boiler of a thermal power plant is an industrial device specially designed to convert chemical energy in fuels such as coal, oil or natural gas into heat energy through a combustion process. It transfers this heat energy to water through an internal heat exchanger system, causing the water to heat up and transform into high-pressure steam. These steam is then used to drive a steam turbine, which in turn generates electrical energy. The boiler contains key components such as combustion chamber, furnace, water-cooled wall tube, superheater, reheater, etc., as well as advanced control systems to monitor and regulate the combustion process, ensuring safety and efficiency. In addition, modern boilers are equipped with dust removal equipment and emission control systems to reduce environmental impact, while adopting clean combustion technology and efficient heat energy recovery systems to improve energy utilization efficiency.
[0003] During actual use, the boiler of the thermal power plant needs to sample coal powder, mainly because coal powder is the main fuel for combustion, and its quality and characteristics directly affect the combustion efficiency, heat energy output, pollutant emission and operation safety of the boiler. By sampling, the particle size distribution, calorific value, moisture content, sulfur content and ash content of the coal powder can be monitored to ensure that the coal powder meets the requirements of the boiler combustion, adjust the combustion conditions and coal powder preparation process in a timely manner, optimize the combustion efficiency, reduce fuel waste, control pollutant emissions, prevent equipment wear and corrosion, and thus ensure the economic operation and environmental compliance of the thermal power plant.
[0004] In order to improve the reliability and representativeness of data, reduce accidental errors, and ensure that the coal powder sample truly reflects the characteristics of the entire material flow, the existing sampling device needs to sample the same sampling point multiple times when performing sampling operations. In the prior art, the worker needs to sample one by one when sampling the same sampling point multiple times.
[0005] The above sampling method not only increases the work efficiency of the worker, but also increases the time interval of sampling and analysis, which may result in the inability to capture the rapid changes in the quality of the coal powder in real time, thereby affecting the immediate adjustment and control of the boiler combustion. In addition, the multiple sampling may reduce the representativeness and continuity of the data due to the changes in the characteristics of the coal powder flow within the sampling interval, increasing the uncertainty of the evaluation of the entire coal powder flow characteristics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings of the specification.
[0028] In the following description, a large number of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the connotation of the present application, therefore the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] Secondly, the "one embodiment" or "embodiment" referred to herein means that the specific features, structures or characteristics can be included in at least one implementation of the present application. "In one embodiment" appearing in different places in the specification does not mean the same embodiment, nor is it an embodiment that is separate or alternative to other embodiments.
[0030] Embodiment 1, referring to FIGS. 1-3, is the first embodiment of the present application, which provides a pulverized coal sampling device for a boiler of a thermal power plant. The device can sample multiple portions of coal powder at one time through the conical box 102a on the bearing assembly 100, and can seal the sampled coal powder through the plugging assembly 200 to avoid coal powder spilling.
[0031] Specifically, the bearing assembly 100 includes an outer shell 101, a fixing ring 102 arranged on the end face of the outer shell 101, a groove plate 102c arranged in a circumferential array on the end face of the fixing ring 102, and a conical box 102a arranged on the groove plate 102c for sampling coal powder. The outer shell 101 is hollow and both sides are designed as open. The material of the groove plate 102c is preferably plastic material, which can provide a certain deformation effect according to the structural characteristics of the plastic itself.
[0032] The plugging assembly 200 comprises a pull rod 201 movably arranged in the outer shell 101 and a plugging piece 202 arranged at the end face of the pull rod 201 for sealing the conical box 102a. The plugging piece 202 is used to seal the conical box 102a. When the plugging piece 202 is away from the conical box 102a, the conical box 102a is opened, and vice versa.
[0033] It should be noted that sampling multiple times at the same sampling point is better than sampling at different times. The advantage is that it can capture the real-time characteristics of the coal powder flow and provide continuous and representative coal quality data. This method reduces the data lag caused by time intervals, ensures the timeliness and accuracy of the data, helps to quickly respond to small changes in coal quality, realizes accurate control of the boiler combustion process, optimizes the combustion efficiency, and reduces the risk of environmental pollution and equipment failure caused by coal quality fluctuations.
[0034] In summary, when performing sampling operations, the device can be inserted into the sampling point as a whole, and then the pull rod 201 in the plugging assembly 200 is pushed, so that the plugging piece 202 is away from the conical box 102a. At this time, the whole sampling device is rotated, so that the coal powder enters the conical box 102a, and finally the pull rod 201 is reset, so that the conical box 102a is closed. At this time, the sampling device can be taken out of the sampling point, and the sampled coal powder is obtained.
[0035] The conical design of the conical box 102a can make the coal powder better enter the box body.
[0036] Embodiment 2, referring to FIGS. 1-4, is a second embodiment of the present application. Unlike the previous embodiment, a way is provided to facilitate the separation of coal powder from the conical box 102a.
[0037] Specifically, the connection channels 102b are formed between the groove plates 102c, and the plugging piece 202 comprises a fixed plate 202a arranged outside the pull rod 201 and an L-shaped plate 202b screwed on the fixed plate 202a. The outer wall of the L-shaped plate 202b is movably connected with the connection channel 102b.
[0038] The outer wall of the fixed plate 202a is provided with an inclined end 202a-1 for mounting the L-shaped plate 202b, and the end of the L-shaped plate 202b is further provided with a pointed end 202b-1. Due to the arrangement of the inclined end 202a-1, the top of the L-shaped plate 202b is also inclined.
[0039] The outer shell 101 is provided with a through ring 103, the outer wall of the pull rod 201 is provided with a key block 201a, the inner wall of the outer shell 101 is provided with a connecting end 101b connected with the key block 201a, and the connecting end 101b comprises a vertical slot 101b-1 and a horizontal slot 101b-2 in communication with one end of the vertical slot 101b-1. The middle part of the through ring 103 is used for the pull rod 201 to pass through, and the coal powder can be prevented from entering the outer shell 101 to a certain extent.
[0040] The end of the pull rod 201 away from the plugging piece 202 extends to the outside of the outer shell 101 and is provided with a knob 203, one end of the knob 203 is provided with a first elastic piece 203a between the outer shell 101, and the other end of the knob 203 is provided with an auxiliary handle 203b; the outer wall of the outer shell 101 is also provided with an anti-skid groove 101a. The first elastic piece 203a is a compression spring. The inner wall of the conical box 102a is provided with a storage cavity 102a-1, and one side of the outer wall of the conical box 102a is designed as an opening.
[0041] In summary, in combination with the first embodiment, when the coal powder enters the storage cavity 102a-1 and needs to be discharged for subsequent detection, the sampling device can be in a vertical state, and the conical box 102a is kept below. At this time, the pull rod 201 does not need to be pushed, and when the coal powder needs to be separated from the storage cavity 102a-1, the pull rod 201 is rotated, so that the key block 201a enters the horizontal slot 101b-2 from the vertical slot 101b-1. During this process, the L-shaped plate 202b deforms the groove plate 102c and comes into contact with the conical box 102a.
[0042] Due to the deformation of the groove plate 102c and the "hiding" of the L-shaped plate 202b, the coal powder will be accelerated to separate from the storage cavity 102a-1 and avoid sticking to the L-shaped plate 202b. At this time, the sampling device in the vertical state will provide six samples on the workbench for subsequent detection work.
[0043] It should be noted that the knob 203 can facilitate the staff to control the rotation of the pull rod 201, the first elastic piece 203a will provide a certain reset effect of the pull rod 201 during the sampling process, that is, the action of pushing the pull rod 201 away from the conical box 102a, and the auxiliary handle 203b is convenient for the staff to hold the whole device.
[0044] Embodiment 3, referring to FIGS. 1-7, is the third embodiment of the present application, which is different from the previous embodiment in that it provides a scattering assembly 300 to further accelerate the separation of coal powder from the conical box 102a.
[0045] Specifically, it further comprises a scattering assembly 300, which comprises a trigger plate 301 movably arranged at the bottom of the conical box 102a and a scattering disc 303b movably arranged in the storage cavity 102a-1. When the coal powder needs to be separated from the conical box 102a, the scattering disc 303b is controlled to move, so that the lumped coal powder is accelerated to fall out of the conical box 102a.
[0046] A first transmission channel is formed through the bottom of the conical box 102a, and a transmission block is arranged in the first transmission channel. An eccentric wheel 302 is further arranged in the conical box 102a, and an extension rod 302a is arranged on one side of the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 302. A transmission groove 302a-1 connectable with the transmission block is formed through the outer wall of the extension rod 302a, and the end surface of the extension rod 302a is connected with the trigger plate 301. When the trigger plate 301 is pressed, the extension rod 302a is stretched or contracted, and a bearing is arranged at the connection between the trigger plate 301 and the extension rod 302a, so that the extension rod 302a does not collide with the trigger plate 301 during rotation.
[0047] A second elastic member is arranged on the outer wall of the extension rod 302a, and an eccentric shaft 302b is arranged on the other side of the outer wall of the eccentric wheel 302. The second elastic member is a compression spring, so that the extension rod 302a has a certain reset effect after stretching or contraction.
[0048] A transmission plate 303 is arranged on the outer wall of the scattering disc 303b, and a second transmission channel 303a connectable with the eccentric shaft 302b is formed through the end surface of the transmission plate 303. A plurality of protrusions 303b-1 are arranged on the end surface of the scattering disc 303b. The transmission plate 303 can be displaced horizontally along a certain stroke in the storage cavity 102a-1 (which has been fully described in the prior art and will not be described in detail here).
[0049] In summary, according to the above embodiment, when the L-shaped plate 202b contacts the inner end surface of the conical box 102a, the trigger plate 301 is gradually pressed to move close to the conical box 102a. At this time, the extension rod 302a is stretched or contracted, and the transmission block in the first transmission channel cooperates with the transmission groove 302a-1, so that the extension rod 302a rotates.
[0050] Once the extension rod 302a rotates, the eccentric shaft 302b on the eccentric wheel 302 cooperates with the second transmission channel 303a to give power to the transmission plate 303, so that the transmission plate 303 moves horizontally within the horizontal stroke limit, and drives the scattering disc 303b and the protrusions 303b-1 to scatter the coal powder and accelerate the process of falling out of the coal powder.
