Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a blast furnace iron tapping main ditch technology, concretely relates to a blast furnace iron tapping main ditch structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the iron tapping field of the ironworks, the main iron ditch is an important facility for bearing the slag iron water flowing out of the blast furnace tapping hole, and its performance is directly related to the continuity and stability of the blast furnace production. The main iron ditch not only bears the flow of high-temperature slag iron, but also undertakes the key task of separating slag iron. The rapid ejection of the iron water from the tapping hole forms a turbulent flow in the main ditch, which impacts the main ditch lining, the slag skimmer, the passage eye and the small well, accelerates the erosion of the refractory material and affects the service life of the main ditch.
[0003] During the blast furnace iron tapping process, the mixture of the iron water and the molten slag is ejected at high speed from the tapping hole, directly impacts the bottom of the main ditch and produces a strong back-splashing effect. These back-splashed molten slag flows turbulently in the direction away from the tapping hole under the rapid impact of the slag iron. When the slag iron mixture flows to the slag skimmer, the slag skimmer separates the slag iron through its special structure. The iron water flows to the small well through a specific channel at the bottom of the slag skimmer, while the molten slag floats on the upper part of the iron water due to its smaller density and agitates and fluctuates at the upper part of the slag skimmer.
[0004] However, during the process of the iron water flowing to the small well through the passage at the bottom of the slag skimmer, the bottom of the slag skimmer is immersed in the high-temperature iron water for a long time and bears the corrosion of the iron water. At the same time, there are still some molten slag entrapped in the iron water, which continuously erodes the bottom of the slag skimmer, and the erosion intensity increases continuously with the increase of the iron tapping amount. Such a harsh working environment puts higher requirements on the structure of the iron tapping main ditch.
[0005] At present, the iron tapping main ditch passage is generally straight, and the flow rates before and after in the main ditch passage are basically consistent, or even the flow rate in the rear section is higher than that in the front section. The rapidly flowing slag iron water impacts the slag-facing surface of the slag skimmer, and the size of the passage of the slag skimmer is reduced, which increases the flow rate of the iron water flowing through the passage eye. The iron water flowing out of the passage eye impacts the iron-facing surface of the square small well and then impacts the back of the slag skimmer, which accelerates the erosion of the slag skimmer.

The molten iron level in the main trough gradually rises until it is higher than the bottom height of the branch trough. The molten iron flows out through the head of the branch trough. There is a certain volume of molten iron in the main trough.

[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] Example:
[0026] like Figs. 1-2As shown, a blast furnace tapping main channel includes a tapping main channel body, which is a storage-type main channel. A tapping channel, a skimmer, and a small well are connected and arranged in the main channel body along the flow direction. Tapping branch channel heads are arranged at both ends of the main channel body and are connected to the tapping channel. A small well is arranged on one side of the main channel body near the branch channel head. Molten iron enters the tapping water inlet, passes through the tapping channel, and is discharged from the branch channel head through the small well. A slag channel head is arranged at the upper position of the main channel body and is connected to the tapping channel. The tapping channel is arranged obliquely downward, and the inclination angle of the tapping channel decreases linearly along the flow direction. The height of the bottom of the branch channel head is higher than the height of the molten iron injection falling into the bottom of the tapping water inlet.
[0027] The above design has the following advantages:
[0028] (1) Optimizing the molten iron flow path: By designing the connected tapping channel and small well, the molten iron can smoothly enter the tapping water inlet, flow into the small well after passing through the tapping channel, and finally be discharged from the branch channel head. This design not only ensures the continuous flow of molten iron, but also effectively avoids the blockage and stagnation of molten iron during the flow process, improving the efficiency of blast furnace tapping.
[0029] (2) Improving the efficiency of molten iron discharge: The tapping channel is arranged obliquely downward, and its inclination angle decreases linearly along the flow direction. This design allows the molten iron to gradually slow down during the flow process, which is beneficial to the smooth discharge of molten iron. At the same time, the height of the bottom of the branch channel head is higher than the height of the molten iron injection falling into the bottom of the tapping water inlet, which can further ensure the smooth discharge of molten iron and avoid the problem of poor discharge caused by the accumulation of molten iron.
[0030] (3) Facilitating slag-iron separation: A slag channel head is arranged at the upper position of the main channel body and is connected to the tapping channel. This allows the slag produced during the blast furnace ironmaking process to be easily discharged through the slag channel head, achieving effective separation of slag and iron. This not only improves the quality of molten iron, but also helps to reduce the failure and downtime during the operation of the blast furnace.
[0031] (4) Enhancing structural stability and durability: The structure of the blast furnace tapping main channel is designed reasonably, and the connection between the parts is tight and stable, which can withstand the harsh environment of high temperature and high pressure during the blast furnace ironmaking process. At the same time, by optimizing the material selection and manufacturing process, the durability and service life of the tapping main channel can be further improved. In summary, the structural design of the blast furnace tapping main channel has the advantages of optimizing the molten iron flow path, improving the efficiency of molten iron discharge, facilitating slag-iron separation, and enhancing the structural stability and durability. It is of great significance to improve the production efficiency and product quality of blast furnace ironmaking.
[0032] As a preferred design scheme, the channel width of the main channel of the tapping main channel gradually increases along the flow direction, which can further facilitate the smooth flow of molten iron. As the molten iron flows, its flow rate and flow speed may change, and the gradual increase in channel width can ensure that the molten iron does not produce excessive impact force during the flow process due to excessive flow speed or flow rate, thereby protecting the structure of the tapping main channel.
[0033] As a preferred design scheme, the main channel body includes main channel liners on both sides, and the slag channel head is opened on the side wall of the main channel liner on one side. The slag channel head has a reverse horn structure with a wide inlet and a narrow outlet, which is beneficial for the collection of slag and rapid discharge at the outlet end. The slag gradually accumulates during the flow process, and the reverse horn structure can ensure that the slag does not block during the collection process, while being quickly discharged at the outlet end, avoiding the impact on the operation of the blast furnace.
[0034] As a preferred design scheme, a slag skimmer beam is provided on the main channel body corresponding to the position between the main channel of the tapping main channel and the small well. The slag skimmer beam is integrally prefabricated with the main channel body of the tapping main channel and is arranged transversely above the main channel of the tapping main channel, which can improve the service life of the slag skimmer, and the widened design of the bottom channel can reduce the speed of the molten iron flowing through the channel and slow down the erosion of the molten iron flowing through the channel.
[0035] As a preferred design scheme, the small well has a trapezoidal structure, and the channel width of the small well decreases along the flow direction. The channel width of the small well decreases from top to bottom in order to change the turbulence of slag and iron in the small well part, reduce the erosion of slag and iron to the small well part, and at the same time ensure that the molten iron flows out more smoothly and slow down the erosion of the molten iron to the branch channel liner material.
[0036] The tapping main channel presented in this embodiment, when actually used, the molten iron rapidly ejected from the blast furnace tapping hole flows into the main channel, the molten iron level in the main channel gradually rises until the molten iron level is higher than the height of the bottom of the branch channel, and then the molten iron flows out through the branch channel head. There is a certain volume of molten iron remaining in the main channel. As the molten iron ejected from the blast furnace falls into the main channel, the remaining molten iron with a certain depth cushions the impact of the molten iron ejected from the tapping hole on the bottom of the main channel. The slag and iron in the main channel flows from the falling point to the direction of the slag skimmer. The width of the main channel gradually increases, the flow speed of the molten iron in the main channel decreases, the separation of slag and iron in the main channel is more sufficient, and the degree of erosion of the main channel liner and the slag skimmer by slag and iron is reduced. The trapezoidal structure of the small well can greatly improve the resistance to slag and iron erosion and improve the flow rate of the molten iron.
