Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of ferroalloy smelting technology, and in particular relates to a large-scale submerged arc furnace for producing metallic manganese. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the times and technology, the ferroalloy smelting industry has also made rapid progress. The most significant improvements are mainly in equipment and processes. There are various types of equipment used in ferroalloy smelting technology, and with the development of the times and technology, the technological level of this series of equipment has also been greatly improved. One of the most representative pieces of equipment is the large-scale submerged arc furnace. Using the submerged arc furnace to produce metallic manganese can ensure the standardization of the smelting environment.

[0003] 1. Existing large-scale submerged arc furnaces used in ferroalloy smelting to produce metallic manganese have difficulties in controlling the feeding process. The materials need to be weighed manually and all raw materials need to be added into the furnace at once. However, the melting temperature and melting time of the raw materials are different during the production of metallic manganese, which leads to different mixing degrees and mixing order, resulting in uneven composition of the material.

[0004] 2. In existing large-scale submerged arc furnace production equipment for ferroalloy smelting to produce metallic manganese, the feeding of the submerged arc furnace is basically carried out by conveyor belts. However, the conveying angle of the conveyor belt is limited, or manual feeding is used. Manual feeding not only poses certain operational risks, but also easily causes intermittent raw material input, resulting in insufficient raw material replenishment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a large-scale submerged arc furnace for producing metallic manganese. By utilizing a batching bin, different raw materials can be classified and stored. A batching pipe is installed at the bottom of the batching bin. During feeding, a telescopic rod extends the batching pipe into the interior of the submerged arc furnace, preventing raw material spillage. Simultaneously, an electronic feeding valve automatically controls the feeding amount. A lifting rod moves the batching bin back and forth on the slide rail of the conveyor frame, thereby achieving raw material replenishment. This invention solves the problems encountered in existing large-scale submerged arc furnaces for producing metallic manganese in ferroalloy smelting.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention relates to a large-scale ferroalloy furnace for producing metallic manganese, comprising a furnace body, a shielding plate, a batching box, and a conveyor frame. A furnace door is fitted on the bottom periphery of the furnace body, and a furnace bottom is provided on the bottom side wall of the furnace body. A furnace cover is provided on the upper side wall of the furnace body, and a shielding plate is embedded in the center of the furnace cover. A connecting plate is provided on the outer side wall of the furnace body, and the outer wall of the furnace body is connected to the conveyor frame through the connecting plate. A batching box is installed on the top side wall of the furnace body.

[0008] The bottom of the mixing box is attached to a fixed plate, and the bottom side wall of the mixing box is welded with a support column. The bottom of the mixing box is embedded with a mixing pipe, the top of the mixing pipe is fitted with a pipe head, and the bottom of the mixing pipe is fitted with a pipe tail. An electronic feeding valve is installed on the side wall of the end of the pipe head. The side wall of the pipe tail is connected to the telescopic rod through a linkage plate. The pipe head and the pipe tail are connected by a pleated tube.

[0009] The bottom side wall of the conveyor frame is welded with a base, and the conveyor frame is embedded with a slide rail. The conveyor frame is connected to the mounting plate through the slide rail, and a material box is installed on the upper side wall of the mounting plate. The bottom side wall of the mounting plate is connected to the base through a lifting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a groove is provided in the center of the furnace cover, and the groove is set in a disc shape. The furnace cover is connected to the shielding plate through the groove. One side wall of the shielding plate is rotatably connected to the furnace cover through a rotating shaft. Specifically, the shielding plate is set in a solid disc shape, and the other side wall of the rotating shaft on the shielding plate is attracted to the inner wall of the groove through an electromagnet.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing sleeve is welded to the top side wall of the furnace cover, and the furnace cover is connected to the bottom of the support column through the fixing sleeve. There are five support columns in total, and the support columns are arranged in a ring array structure. Specifically, the fixing sleeve is a hollow hexagonal prism structure. The fixing sleeve can effectively limit the support column, thereby preventing the top batching box from shifting.

[0012] Furthermore, the batching box is equipped with two material chambers, and the bottom sidewalls of the two material chambers of the batching box are configured in a funnel shape. The internal chambers of the batching box are connected to the top feed port of the electric arc furnace body through the batching pipe; specifically, the batching box is configured in a funnel shape.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding pipe consists of a pipe head, a pleated pipe, and a pipe tail. The pipe head and the pipe tail are connected by the pleated pipe. One end of the pipe tail is connected to the bottom side wall of the fixed plate by a telescopic rod. Specifically, the extension or retraction of the pleated pipe can be adjusted by the telescopic rod. Thus, when feeding materials, the pipe tail of the pleated pipe can be pulled into the interior of the electric arc furnace body by the telescopic rod, and when not feeding materials, the pleated pipe can be pulled back by the telescopic rod.

[0014] Furthermore, there are two connecting plates, and connecting blocks are sleeved at both ends of the connecting plates. The side walls at both ends of the connecting plates are connected to the outer wall of the electric arc furnace body and the rear side wall of the conveyor frame respectively through the connecting blocks. Specifically, the conveyor frame is set with an inclined structure, and the top curvature of the conveyor frame is set towards the batching box.

[0015] Furthermore, the conveyor frame is inlaid with two slide rails, and each slide rail is equipped with a mounting plate and a material box. The top of the rear wall of the material box near the main body of the electric arc furnace has a discharge port.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This invention, by setting up a batching box, allows for the classification and storage of different raw materials during use. The bottom of the batching box is equipped with a batching pipe, whose extension and retraction lengths can be automatically adjusted. During feeding, a telescopic rod causes the batching pipe to extend into the interior of the submerged arc furnace, feeding materials inside the furnace and preventing spillage. Simultaneously, an electronic feeding valve automatically controls the feeding amount. This solves the problem of existing large-scale submerged arc furnace production equipment for ferroalloy smelting, where the feeding process is difficult to control, requiring manual weighing and simultaneous addition of all raw materials. However, in the process of producing manganese, the different melting temperatures and times of the raw materials lead to variations in the degree and sequence of mixing, resulting in uneven material composition.

[0018] 2. This invention, by setting up a conveyor frame, is inclined and erected beside the main body of the submerged arc furnace. Simultaneously, a lifting rod allows the material box to move back and forth on the slide rails of the conveyor frame, thus achieving the effect of raw material replenishment. Furthermore, the material box can be flipped at the top bend of the conveyor frame, allowing the raw material to be fed into the batching box. This solves the problem of existing large-scale submerged arc furnace production equipment for ferroalloy smelting, which primarily uses conveyor belts for feeding materials. However, the conveyor belts have limited conveying angles, or manual feeding is used. Manual feeding not only poses certain operational risks but also easily leads to intermittent raw material input and insufficient replenishment. Attached Figure Description
