Abstract

Provided is a vertical pulverizing apparatus capable of suppressing abrasion of throat vanes ( 40 ) and elongating their abrasion resistant lives to thereby increase working efficiency. The vertical pulverizing apparatus is characterized in that: a throat ( 4 ) is provided between a housing ( 32 ) and a pulverizing table ( 2 ) and has an annular flow channel which is surrounded by a throat inner peripheral wall ( 41 ) and a throat outer peripheral wall ( 42 ) and which is partitioned by a large number of throat vanes ( 40 ); and a slope part ( 43 a, 43 b ) extending diagonally downward from an inner peripheral wall surface of the housing ( 32 ) toward a top end of the throat outer peripheral wall ( 42 ) and a horizontal part ( 44 ) extending from a bottom end of the slope part ( 43 b ) continuously to the top end of the throat outer peripheral wall ( 42 ) are provided so that top end surfaces ( 40 a ) of the throat vanes ( 40 ) and a top surface of the horizontal part ( 44 ) can be set at the same height.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A vertical pulverizing apparatus comprising: a housing; a pulverizing table which is placed rotatably inside the housing; a pulverizer which is disposed on the pulverizing table; a throat which is disposed between the housing and the pulverizing table; a wind box which is placed under the throat; and a conveying gas feeding unit which feeds pulverized particle conveying gas to the wind box, the throat having an annular flow channel which is surrounded by a throat inner peripheral wall and a throat outer peripheral wall and which is configured to be partitioned by a large number of throat vanes circumferentially at predetermined intervals so that a solid raw material can be pulverized to produce pulverized particles by meshing of the pulverizing table with the pulverizer, and the conveying gas fed from the conveying gas feeding unit to the wind box can be jetted to an outer peripheral part of the pulverizing table through the throat so as to convey the pulverized particles to above the pulverizing table; wherein:
a slope part extending diagonally downward from an inner peripheral wall surface of the housing toward a top end of the throat outer peripheral wall and a horizontal part extending from a bottom end of the slope part continuously to the top end of the throat outer peripheral wall are provided all over the circumference between the housing and the throat; and
top end surfaces of the throat vanes and a top surface of the horizontal part are set at the same height.

2. A vertical pulverizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the top end surface of each of the throat vanes is formed into a horizontal surface.

3. A vertical pulverizing apparatus according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein:
the slope part, the horizontal part and the throat are formed into an integral structure, and the integral structure is attached to the outer peripheral part of the pulverizing table so as to rotate together with the pulverizing table; and
a gap is formed between the housing and the slope part so that a part of the conveying gas can be jetted to above the pulverizing table through the gap.

4. A vertical pulverizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the slope part is divided into an inside slope part and an outside slope part disposed on the radially outer side of the inside slope part, and the inside slope part, the horizontal part and the throat are attached to the outer peripheral part of the pulverizing table so as to rotate together with the pulverizing table while the outside slope part is attached to the inner peripheral wall surface of the housing; and
a gap is formed between the inside slope part and the outside slope part so that a part of the conveying gas can be jetted to above the pulverizing table through the gap.

5. A vertical pulverizing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:
a slope angle of the inside slope part is substantially equal to a slope angle of the outside slope part.

6. A vertical pulverizing apparatus according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein:
the slope part, the horizontal part and the throat outer peripheral wall are formed into an integral structure, and the integral structure is attached to the inner peripheral wall surface of the housing;
the throat inner peripheral wall and the throat vanes are attached to the outer peripheral part of the pulverizing table so as to rotate together with the pulverizing table; and
a gap between the throat outer peripheral wall and each of the throat vanes is formed inside the annular flow channel between the throat inner peripheral wall and the throat outer peripheral wall.

7. A vertical pulverizing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the slope part, the horizontal part and the throat are formed into an integral structure, and the integral structure is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the housing; and
a gap is formed between the throat and the pulverizing table.
