Among them, the air interface 6 is used to connect the oxygen-enriched air source to provide oxygen-enriched air for the gun body 1. The inner wall of the diffusion pipe 3 is trumpet-shaped, and the oxygen-enriched air is diffused into the middle connecting pipe 4 to provide sufficient air volume for the cyclone 10. The burn control end 5 is used to insert the slag layer and bear the burn of the gun body 1. After the burn control end 5 is burned to a certain length, it needs to be repaired and replaced. The gas source connection hole 13 is used to insert the natural gas source hose, so that the natural gas source hose can be connected to the gas connector 7 to provide natural gas for the gas pipe 9. When working, the cyclone 10 injects oxygen-enriched air into the furnace and stirs the molten pool. At the same time, the natural gas supplied by the gas pipe 9 is fully burned to supplement the necessary heat for the copper smelting process and effectively improve the natural gas combustion efficiency. In this example, the gun body 1 and the gas pipe 9 are both made of stainless steel. The total length of the gas pipe is 15736 mm to 15886 mm, and the diameter is ∅70 / ∅62.
[0033] Furthermore, an end pressure tube 8 is coaxially sleeved on the outer side of the gas pipe 9, and the end pressure tube 8 is fixed to the inner wall of the gun body 1 through a support block 12, and the outer wall of the gas pipe 9 is connected to the inner wall of the end pressure tube 8 through a support tube 20; it also includes an end pressure cap 11, and the end pressure cap 11 includes an end pressure cap interface 17, a gas pipe sleeve hole 18 and an end pressure taking hole 19. The end pressure cap 11 is installed at the front end of the end pressure tube 8 through the end pressure cap interface 17, and the front end of the gas pipe 9 extends to the outside through the gas pipe sleeve hole 18. The end pressure taking hole 19 is arranged on the side wall of the end pressure cap 11, and the end pressure taking hole 19 is obliquely connected from the outer wall of the end pressure cap 11 to the inner cavity at the front end of the end pressure cap interface 17.

The distance between the end pressure cap 11 and the front end of the gun body 1 is controlled within 600mm to 900mm. The pressure pipe 14 is used to connect to a remote pressure gauge. During operation, the gun body 1 and the gas pipe 9 continuously take in air and gas to form air pressure at the end of the gun body 1. The air pressure enters the cavity formed between the outer wall of the gas pipe 9 and the inner wall of the end pressure pipe 8 through the pressure hole 19, and then is transmitted to the remote pressure gauge through the pressure port 22 and the pressure pipe 14 for real-time monitoring, so as to achieve accurate measurement of the pressure at the end of the spray gun, which is used as an important basis for judging the working state of the spray gun and the blockage of the pressure hole 19. In addition, the support pipe 20 is kept parallel to the end pressure pipe 8 in the axial direction, so that the support pipe 20 is easy to circulate air, reduce air resistance and ensure the accuracy of pressure detection.

The gas interface 24 is used to access natural gas. The natural gas is sent to the gas pipe 9 through the gas turning inner cavity 25 and the gas connection port 23, so that the natural gas is transported from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction. In addition, a conical end 30 is provided at the right end of the gas connector 7 to reduce the resistance of the oxygen-rich air introduced into the rear end of the gun body 1.

Among them, the swirl blades 29 are variable pitch spirals, the rotation direction is left-handed, the inlet angle is 0°, and the outlet angle is 45°. It can generate swirl for the oxygen-enriched air and fully mix it with the natural gas, and play the role of stirring the molten pool to ensure the full combustion of the natural gas. In addition, a trumpet-shaped nozzle 21 is provided at the front end of the gas pipe 9, which can diffuse and send the natural gas at the outlet, ensure that the open gas is evenly sprayed and fully mixed with the oxygen-enriched air, and further improve the combustion efficiency of the natural gas.
