Abstract
Description
A type of buried scraper feeder Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein belong to the technical field of coal feeding equipment, specifically relating to a submerged scraper coal feeder. Background Technology
[0002] The operation of a fan mill requires a submerged scraper feeder, which is the main coal feeding equipment in the pulverizing system. It features uniform coal feeding and can continuously deliver coal (with stepless adjustment based on operating conditions) into the fan mill. The submerged scraper feeder can meet the requirements for feeding over long distances, and its sealed housing structure is suitable for operation under both positive and negative pressure conditions.
[0003] However, when a scraper feeder is paired with a fan mill, the air source for the fan mill is generally taken from the flue gas inside the boiler. With the addition of hot secondary air and cold flue gas, the internal ambient temperature of the mill reaches over 500℃, and the ambient temperature at the bottom of the feeder can reach up to 800℃. If the pulverizing system reverses pressure, it will cause high temperatures inside the feeder, which seriously affects the operation of the weighing module inside the scraper feeder. This results in a large error in the feeder's metering, which seriously affects the calculation of coal consumption for power supply and the inventory count within the plant.
[0004] Therefore, how to solve the above problems has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The embodiments disclosed herein are intended to at least address one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a buried scraper feeder.

The scraper conveyor 4 is correspondingly installed to the coal outlet of the casing 1 and is used to transport the coal discharged from the coal outlet to the coal mill.
[0027] In this invention, by setting the housing 1, the weighing belt coal conveyor 2 installed inside the housing 1 can be effectively protected from the high temperature outside the housing 1. This not only enables accurate measurement of coal feed, but also prevents the weighing function of the weighing belt coal conveyor 2 from catching fire.
[0028] In some embodiments, the coal feeder also includes an upper discharge pipe 6, the inlet end of which is connected to the discharge port of the hopper 5, and the outlet end of which is connected to the coal inlet of the casing 1.
[0029] In some embodiments, the coal feeder also includes a coal feeder upper plate 8, which is inserted into the upper discharge pipe 6 and is used to adjust the discharge flow rate of the upper discharge pipe 6.
[0030] In some embodiments, the coal feeder also includes a drop pipe 7, the inlet end of which is connected to the coal outlet of the casing 1, and the outlet end of the drop pipe 7 is positioned corresponding to the scraper-type conveying coal feeder 4. The drop pipe 7 guides the coal to the scraper-type conveying coal feeder 4 through its outlet end.
[0031] In some embodiments, the coal feeder also includes a lower feeder plate 9, which is inserted into the lower feed pipe 7 and is used to adjust the discharge flow rate of the lower feed pipe 7.
[0032] In some embodiments, the weighing belt coal conveyor 2 includes a weighing drive wheel 21 and a weighing driven wheel 22 disposed relatively apart in the housing 1, a weighing belt 23 wound around the weighing drive wheel 21 and the weighing driven wheel 22, and a pressure sensor 24 disposed in the housing 1 and abutting against the weighing belt 23 for measuring the mass carried by the weighing belt 23.
[0033] In some embodiments, the coal feeder also includes a chain cleaning device 3, which is disposed inside the housing 1 and spaced apart from the weighing belt coal conveying device 2. The chain cleaning device 3 is used to clean the coal falling off the bottom wall of the housing 1.
[0034] In some embodiments, the chain cleaning device 3 is provided with a chain drive wheel 31 and a chain driven wheel 32 disposed at a distance from each other in the housing 1, a chain 33 wound around the chain drive wheel 31 and the chain driven wheel 32, and a chain scraper 34 disposed on the chain 33 and in contact with the bottom wall of the housing 1.
[0035] In some embodiments, the scraper-type coal feeding device 4 includes a housing 41 supporting the housing 1, a coal feeding drive wheel 42 and a coal feeding driven wheel 43 disposed opposite to each other within the housing 41, a scraper conveyor belt 44 wound around the coal feeding drive wheel 42 and the coal feeding driven wheel 43, and a scraper disposed on the scraper conveyor belt 44. The housing 41 has a coal drop port communicating with the coal outlet of the housing 1, and a coal conveying port.
[0036] In some embodiments, the coal feeder also includes a coal conveying pipe 10 and a coal feeding plate 11. The inlet end of the coal conveying pipe 10 is connected to the coal conveying port of the housing 41, and the outlet end of the coal conveying pipe 10 is connected to the coal mill. The coal feeding plate 11 is inserted into the coal conveying pipe 10 to adjust the coal conveying flow rate of the coal conveying pipe 10.
[0037] Specifically, the weighing belt conveyor 2 and the scraper conveyor 4 are distributed vertically and alternately within the casing 1. The hopper 5 has a diameter of 800-1000 mm, and the feeder is also equipped with weighing idlers that contact the weighing belt 23. The chain cleaning device 3 is equipped with a chain scraper 34 that contacts the bottom wall of the casing 1 to clean coal dust from the bottom wall of the casing 1.
[0038] The casing 1 has openings on both sides, and the openings are connected to the outlet pipes of the cold secondary air or micro-oil distribution fan, serving as the sealing air for the coal feeder.
[0039] The motors for the chain drive wheel 31 and the weighing drive wheel 21 are both variable frequency motors, and the motor frequency of the coal feeding drive wheel 42 is the same as that of the motors for the chain drive wheel 31 and the weighing drive wheel 21.
