Description

  The present invention relates to a silencer for intake air installed in a furnace chamber, and more specifically, supplies ventilation air into the furnace chamber by natural intake air from an intake port provided at a lower portion of a wall surface of the furnace chamber that houses the incinerator. The present invention relates to an intake silencer that is provided in a furnace chamber having an intake / exhaust system that exhausts air from an exhaust port provided at an upper portion, and that suppresses noise from equipment and the like generated in the furnace chamber from propagating outside the furnace chamber.

  In municipal waste incineration facilities, in order to ventilate the furnace chamber that houses the incinerator, an intake port is provided at the bottom of the furnace chamber wall, an exhaust port is provided at the top of the furnace chamber, and ventilation is provided by natural intake from the intake port. A furnace chamber intake / exhaust system is known that guides air into the furnace chamber and discharges air that is heated by heat released from the surface of the incinerator and guided to the top of the furnace chamber by natural convection from the exhaust port. It has been.

  In such a furnace chamber intake / exhaust system, a silencer is provided at an intake port, and noise countermeasures are taken so that noise of equipment or the like does not leak outside. In addition, an air volume adjustment damper (for example, see FIG. 12 of Patent Document 1) is attached to the intake port, and since the temperature in the furnace chamber becomes high in summer, the air volume adjustment damper is fully opened to take in a large amount of outside air. Since the temperature in the furnace chamber is low in winter, the air volume adjustment damper is adjusted to an opening degree that is not fully closed to suppress the intake amount of outside air.

JP-A-7-71631 (for example, FIG. 12)

  By the way, the furnace chamber intake / exhaust system is configured to take in outside air by natural intake. Therefore, if the air volume adjustment damper is fully opened in order to take in a large amount of outside air in summer, a pressure loss will inevitably occur because the damper blades are present on the flow path of the air to be sucked in. There is a problem that it cannot be done. On the other hand, in order to solve such a problem, it may be possible not to install an air volume adjustment damper. However, this will not only make it impossible to adjust the air volume, but also a new problem that strong winds and rainwater will pass through the silencer and adversely affect the furnace room and equipment in storms such as typhoons and storms. Will occur.

  The present invention has been devised in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to be installed in a furnace chamber equipped with an intake / exhaust system using natural convection and reduce the pressure loss as much as possible to improve the intake / exhaust efficiency. And an air intake silencer capable of adjusting the air volume and preventing intrusion of strong winds and rain in stormy weather.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized in that an intake port is provided in a lower portion of a wall surface of a furnace chamber containing an incinerator and an exhaust port is provided in an upper portion of the furnace chamber. The outside air is introduced into the furnace chamber by natural intake from the mouth, and the intake port of the furnace chamber having an intake / exhaust system for discharging the air heated in the incinerator and led to the upper part of the furnace chamber by natural convection from the exhaust port. An air intake silencer provided with a cylindrical casing forming a flow path and a sound absorbing member provided in the cylindrical casing, with one open end of the cylindrical casing facing the indoor side, A silencer configured so that the other opening end of the casing faces the outside through the air inlet, and provided at one opening end of the cylindrical casing, the one opening is fully open, fully closed, And from fully open to fully closed A shielding device having a shielding member that meaning of the opening and closing state is openably driven so as to obtain, by comprising the features.

  Here, the term “silencer” may be a splitter-type silencer or a cell-type silencer. The cylindrical casing may be a cylindrical casing or a square cylindrical casing. However, from the viewpoint of attaching the shielding device to the silencer, a rectangular tubular casing is preferable.

  With the above configuration, when the shielding member is fully opened, the shielding member does not become an obstacle to the inflow of air. That is, since there is no member that closes the opening end of the silencer, no pressure loss occurs. Thereby, the intake / exhaust efficiency is remarkably improved as compared with the case where the air volume adjusting damper is installed as in the conventional example. In particular, the absence of pressure loss is very effective for an intake and exhaust system using natural convection with a weak suction force.

(2) Also, in stormy weather such as typhoons and storms, the shield member is fully closed, so that strong winds and rainwater that have passed through the silencer are blocked by the shield member, so they enter the facility. There is nothing. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the furnace chamber together with the strong wind and causing the equipment in the facility to malfunction.

(3) Furthermore, since the shielding member is openable and closable, it is possible to adjust the air volume of the incoming air. This can be freely adjusted, for example, by slightly opening the shielding member if it is not desired to flow a large amount of air into the furnace chamber when the outside air temperature is low, such as in winter. As a result, a large amount of low-temperature air is inhaled, and deterioration of the work environment in the furnace chamber can be prevented.

(4) Moreover, the following effect is brought about by installing a shielding member in the opening end of the silencer indoor side. That is, when the strong wind that has passed through the silencer collides with the fully-closed shielding member, a collision sound or a vibration sound due to the vibration of the shielding member is generated, and these sounds contribute to noise. However, these noises are always emitted through the silencer due to the positional relationship that the shielding member is installed at the opening end on the indoor side. Demonstrate.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the silencer for intake air according to claim 1, characterized in that the shielding device is detachable from a cylindrical casing of the silencer.

  Generally, facilities such as waste incineration facilities and plants are huge, and a large intake and exhaust system corresponding to these facilities is required. Accordingly, a large silencer corresponding to the intake / exhaust system is also required. In installing this huge silencer, there is a case where one huge silencer is installed, but in most cases, the silencer is assembled and installed in the field while combining a plurality of silencers. Therefore, if the shielding device is detachable, it is possible to cope with a silencer of the type assembled and installed at the site as described above, and the installation, assembly and transportation of the silencer are facilitated. Further, even if the shielding device is damaged or failed, it is only necessary to replace the damaged member, and it is not necessary to replace all the silencers. Thereby, the silencer excellent in cost performance can be provided.

  According to the present invention, the pressure loss due to the shielding member does not occur by fully opening the shielding member. Therefore, the intake / exhaust efficiency is significantly improved as compared with the case where the air volume adjusting damper as in the conventional example is provided. Further, by making the shielding member fully closed, it is possible to block strong winds and rainwater from entering the room during stormy weather. Therefore, indoor facilities can be protected from strong winds and rainwater. Further, since the shielding member can be opened and closed, the air volume can be adjusted.

  Hereinafter, an intake silencer according to the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)

In the figure, 1 is a furnace chamber, and an incinerator 2 is installed in the furnace chamber 1. As a ventilation intake / exhaust system in the furnace chamber 1, intake / exhaust by natural convection is performed. That is, an exhaust port 9a is provided at the upper wall surface of the furnace chamber 1, an intake port 9b is provided at the lower wall surface of the furnace chamber 1, and ventilation air is guided into the furnace chamber 1 by natural intake air from the intake port 9b. This ventilation air is heated by the heat released from the surface of the incinerator 2 and is guided to the upper part of the furnace chamber 1 by natural convection and discharged from the exhaust port 9a.

  Further, an intake silencer 100 is provided at the intake port 9b as a noise countermeasure so that combustion noise in the furnace chamber 1 and other noises do not leak to the outside. The intake silencer 100 is installed on a gantry 80 (see FIG. 3). The intake silencer 100 includes a silencer 50, a fence member 60, and a shielding device 70 (see FIGS. 2A and 2B). Hereinafter, the details of these components will be described.

(Details of silencer)
3 is a front view of the silencer with the shield device fully opened, FIG. 4 is a front view of the silencer device with the shield device fully closed, and FIG. 5 is the silencer device with the shield device fully closed. 6 is a perspective view of the silencer, and FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the silencer.
In the present embodiment, a splitter type silencer is used as the silencer 50. That is, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the silencer 50 is covered with a porous plate 22 (for example, a galvanized steel plate) having a large number of sound absorbing holes 21 on the pair of inner walls of the rectangular tubular casing 20. A pair of side sound absorbers 24 and 25 filled with a sound absorbing material 23 such as glass wool are provided therein, and both surfaces are covered with a porous plate 26 (for example, galvanized steel plate) having a large number of sound absorbing holes 21 inside. Intermediate sound absorbers 27 and 28 filled with a sound absorbing material 23 such as glass wool are arranged between a pair of side sound absorbers 24 and 25. With such a configuration, between the one side sound absorber 24 and the intermediate sound absorber 27, between the intermediate sound absorber 27 and the intermediate sound absorber 28, and the other side sound absorber 25 and the intermediate portion. When noise passes between the sound absorbing body 27, the noise is propagated to the sound absorbing material 23 through the sound absorbing holes 21 and is absorbed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the silencer 100 has a configuration in which three splitter-type silencers 50 having the above-described configuration are arranged in parallel with the opening ends of the silencers 50 aligned. There may be a single vessel or a multi-stage stacking.

(Details of fence members)
Next, the fence member 60 will be described.
The fence member 60 is provided on the open end side of the silencer 50 facing the outdoors. As shown in FIG. 2, the fence member 60 includes a mesh body 61 and a fixing member 62 that fixes the mesh body 61 to the opening end of the silencer 50. The mesh body 61 is a wire mesh having a mesh structure made of, for example, galvanized iron wire, and the mesh size is set to such a size that small animals such as birds (for example, pigeons and sparrows) cannot pass through. If the mesh is made smaller, pressure loss due to fluid (air in the present embodiment) increases. Therefore, it is preferable to determine the mesh size in consideration of both prevention of intrusion of birds and the like and pressure loss. In addition, the shape of the mesh is a diamond-shaped mesh shape in the present embodiment. However, as long as it satisfies the above conditions (prevents entry of small animals and the like and has a low pressure loss), a square, pentagon, turtle shell, It may be any shape such as a circle, and may be a combination of these shapes.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the fixing member 62 is a frame formed along the edge of the opening end of the silencer 50, for example. The fixing member 62 connects the frame body and the opening end of the silencer 50 with a fastener (for example, a bolt). , Nuts, etc. (not shown)). Specifically, for example, a flange portion (not shown) at the open end of the rectangular tubular casing 20 of the silencer 50, a flange portion (not shown) of a casing in which a plurality of silencers are bundled, and this frame Attach the body with bolts.

(Details of shielding device)
Next, the shielding device 70 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the shielding device 70 includes a shutter 71 (shielding member in the claims) that blocks the fluid flowing into the silencer 50, and a guide rail 72 that is guided by sliding the shutter 71. And an opening / closing device 73 that winds the shutter 71 to open and close the shutter 71. The shielding device 70 has the same configuration as a general shutter unit (hereinafter, the shielding device 70 may be referred to as a shutter unit).
In the present embodiment, a shutter unit having a shutter 71 configured by connecting a plurality of slats is used, and a fastener (for example, a bolt, a nut, etc., not shown) is used at the opening end of the silencer 50. And attach.

  Note that the opening / closing control of the shutter 71 is performed by an opening / closing switch (not shown) connected to the opening / closing device 73. When the switch is fully opened, the shutter 71 is fully opened as shown in FIG. 2A. When the switch is fully closed, the shutter 71 is shown in FIG. 2B. Is fully closed. Further, when the stop operation is performed by the switch operation, the shutter 71 stops at an arbitrary position, and the opening end is partially shielded. In the above example, the shutter 71 is opened and closed automatically by operating the open / close switch. However, the shutter 71 may be opened and closed manually.

(Operation of the intake / exhaust system according to the present embodiment)
Since the temperature in the furnace chamber becomes high such as in summer, the shutter 71 is fully opened when it is desired to take in a large amount of outside air. At this time, in the case of the air volume adjustment damper as in the conventional example, a pressure loss always occurs because the damper blade exists in the flow path of the sucked air, but instead of the air volume adjustment damper as in the present embodiment. If the shutter 71 is fully opened by using the shutter 71, a state in which there is no obstacle to the inflow of fluid (air) can be obtained. That is, since there is no member that closes the opening end of the silencer 100, no pressure loss occurs. Thereby, the intake / exhaust efficiency is remarkably improved as compared with the case where the air volume adjusting damper is installed. The absence of this pressure loss is very effective especially for an intake / exhaust system using natural convection with a weak suction force.

  When it is not desired to flow a large amount of air into the furnace chamber 2 when the outside air temperature is low, such as in winter, the shutter 71 is fully closed or slightly opened to adjust freely. As a result, a large amount of low-temperature air can be sucked to prevent deterioration of the working environment in the furnace chamber.

  During stormy weather such as a typhoon or storm, the shutter 71 is fully closed. Thereby, since the strong wind and rain water which have passed through the silencer 100 are blocked by the shutter 71, they do not enter the furnace chamber 2. Thereby, for example, it is possible to prevent rainwater from entering the furnace chamber 2 together with the strong wind and causing the equipment in the furnace chamber 2 to fail.

  Since the shutter 71 can be freely opened and closed, the shielding amount of the shutter 71 can be adjusted as necessary by operating the open / close switch to adjust the air volume of the air that flows in.

  In addition, the following effects are brought about by installing the shielding device 70 at the opening end of the silencer 100 on the indoor side. That is, when the strong wind passing through the flow path collides with the shutter 71, for example, a collision sound between the guide rail 72 and the shutter 71 is generated due to vibration caused by the collision, or a squeak noise of the shutter 71 itself is generated. Those sounds contribute to noise. However, since the shutter unit is installed at the open end of the indoor side, these noises always pass through the silencer and are emitted to the outside. Demonstrate.

  (2) In the above example, a splitter-type silencer is used as the silencer. However, any type of silencer may be used as long as the silencer uses a cylindrical casing such as a cell-type silencer. .

  (3) In the above example, the mesh body (wire mesh) 61 is made of galvanized iron wire, but it may be a metal wire such as vinyl-coated wire, stainless steel wire, non-ferrous metal wire, or alloy wire, and also a small animal. As long as a mesh body having a strength that does not break due to a collision can be formed, it is not particularly limited to metal.

  (4) In the above example, the fixing member 62 is a frame. However, as long as it can be fixed in a state in which the opening end of the silencer 50 is covered by the mesh body 61, the frame is not limited to FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, a structure using a support 62 'may be used.

  (5) As long as the shielding device 70 (shutter unit) can open and close the open end of the silencer 50, the type of the lightweight shutter, the horizontal shutter, or the like is not limited. Further, the shielding device 70 is not limited to the shutter unit, and may be, for example, a sliding door in which the shielding member 71 slides parallel to the opening end surface.

  (6) In this embodiment, the opening / closing operation of the shutter 71 is performed by the opening / closing switch. However, the opening / closing device 72 may be provided with a wireless transceiver to perform remote operation, and the opening / closing of the shutter 71 is controlled. The control method is not limited as long as the system can be used.

(7) When a silencer is configured using a plurality of silencers as in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the silencer 20 is arranged with the open ends connected in series along the flow path direction. May be configured (see FIG. 9A), may be configured in parallel with the flow path direction (see FIG. 9B), or the silencers 20 in parallel. A configuration in which the arranged ones are stacked in multiple stages may be used (see FIG. 9C).
