[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a hydraulic control system. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 , 2 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, the electric furnace body tilting device includes an electric furnace 101, an electric furnace rocker 102, a plunger cylinder 104, a concrete foundation 103, and a rocker platform 105.

[0016] The bottom of the electric furnace 101 is mounted on the electric furnace rocker 102, and the electric furnace rocker 102 is mounted on the rocker platform 105; the plunger cylinder 104 is located on one side of the electric furnace, the lower part of the plunger cylinder 104 is connected to the concrete foundation 103 through a hinge trunnion, and the upper part of the plunger cylinder 104 is connected to the electric furnace 101 through a hinge trunnion.

[0017] The electric furnace body tilting device also includes a hydraulic control system, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the hydraulic control system includes an automatic control unit and a manual control unit, which are respectively connected to the piston cylinder 104.

[0018] The automatic control unit includes a first high-pressure ball valve 14, a second high-pressure ball valve 11, a third high-pressure ball valve 12, a proportional directional valve 13 (with port A sealed), a locking plug 3, a plug cover plate 4, and a solenoid ball valve 5. The hydraulic pump station delivers pressurized oil P through port P, which is connected to port P of the proportional directional valve 13 via the first high-pressure ball valve 14. Port T of the proportional directional valve 13 is connected to the return port T of the hydraulic pump station via the second high-pressure ball valve 11. Port B of the proportional directional valve 13 is divided into two oil circuits via the third high-pressure ball valve (12). One circuit is connected to port A of the locking plug 3, and then to port B of the plunger cylinder 1 via port B of the locking plug 3. The other circuit is connected to the spring cavity of the locking plug 3 via port P of the solenoid ball valve 5 through the plug cover plate 4. Port T of the solenoid ball valve 5 is connected to the drain port L, and port L is connected to the oil tank of the hydraulic pump station via a pipeline.

[0019] The manual control unit includes a manual directional valve 8, a hydraulically controlled check valve 2, a fourth high-pressure ball valve 6, a fifth high-pressure ball valve 7, a sixth high-pressure ball valve 10, and a seventh high-pressure ball valve 9. The P port of the hydraulic pump station's delivery pressure oil P is connected to the P port of the manual directional valve 8 via the sixth high-pressure ball valve 10. The A port of the manual directional valve 8 is connected to the A port of the hydraulically controlled check valve 2 via the fourth high-pressure ball valve 6. The B port of the hydraulically controlled check valve 2 is connected to the B port of the plunger cylinder 1. The control port P of the hydraulically controlled check valve 2 is connected to the B port of the manual directional valve 8 via the fifth high-pressure ball valve 7. The T port of the manual directional valve 8 is connected to the T port of the hydraulic pump station's oil tank via the seventh high-pressure ball valve 9. The drain port L of the hydraulically controlled check valve 2 is connected to the oil tank of the hydraulic pump station via a pipeline.

[0020] During normal smelting in the electric furnace, the fourth high-pressure ball valve 6, the fifth high-pressure ball valve 7, the seventh high-pressure ball valve 9, and the sixth high-pressure ball valve 10 are in the closed state, and the manual valve 8 is in the neutral position and in standby state.

[0021] Under normal smelting conditions, the plunger cylinder 1 is locked by the plug-in 3, the cover plate 4, and the solenoid ball valve 5, and the furnace body is in a stationary position. When the production personnel need to adjust the position of the furnace body, they will control the computer PLC through the furnace crank handle to send an analog or digital signal to the proportional directional valve 13. At the same time, the solenoid ball valve 5 is energized, the plug-in 3 is unlocked, and the extension or retraction and movement speed of the plunger cylinder are controlled by the movement of the valve core of the proportional directional valve 13 and the opening degree, thereby adjusting the position of the furnace body. When the furnace body needs to be raised, the solenoid ball valve 5 is energized, and the left side of the proportional directional valve 13 receives a signal from the PLC. The valve core moves to the right (at this time, oil ports P and B are connected). Then, the pressure oil P from the hydraulic pump station passes through the P port and B port of the high-pressure ball valve 14 and the A port and B port of the proportional directional valve 13, reaching the oil port B of the plunger cylinder 1. The plunger of the plunger cylinder 1 extends, and the furnace body rises (towards the tapping direction). Conversely, when the furnace body needs to be lowered, the PLC transmits a signal... The incoming signal causes the proportional directional valve 13 to switch to the left. The T port and B port of the proportional directional valve 13 are connected. Since the center of the furnace body and the center of rotation of the furnace body do not coincide, the furnace body is eccentrically arranged relative to the center of rotation. At this time, due to the action of the gravity torque of the furnace body, the hydraulic oil in the plunger cylinder 1 flows through its oil port B, through the B port and A port of the plug 3, through the high-pressure ball valve 12 to reach the B port of the proportional directional valve 13, and then flows out from the T port of the proportional directional valve 13 to reach the oil tank of the hydraulic pump station, completing the descent of the furnace body (movement in the direction of slag discharge).

[0022] When any of the PLC signals or other signals of the proportional directional valve 13, plug-in 3, or solenoid ball valve 5 malfunction, the furnace body will not operate. In this case, quickly open the high-pressure ball valves 6, 7, 9, and 10, and push the handle of the manual directional valve 8 to the left to reverse its direction. The oil will then flow through the P and A ports of the manual directional valve 8 and the high-pressure ball valve 6 along the pipeline to the A and B ports of the hydraulic check valve 2, and finally to the B port of the plunger cylinder 1, causing it to rise (moving towards the steel tapping direction). Conversely, pulling the handle of the manual directional valve 8 to the right will lower the furnace body (moving towards the slag tapping direction).

[0023] This invention solves the problem of cylinder synchronization and ensures that if the proportional directional valve fails, another system can be put into use immediately, thus guaranteeing production safety.
