Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fault detection technology for bellless furnace top transmission gearboxes, and particularly to a method for detecting α-angle faults in bellless furnace top transmission gearboxes. Background Technology
[0002] The charging feeder is one of the most critical pieces of equipment in a bell-less blast furnace. Its stable performance directly affects the quality of the blast furnace charging and plays a decisive role in adjusting and ensuring stable furnace conditions. When abnormal furnace conditions occur and gas flow occurs in the pipes, the high-pressure gas flow that rises instantaneously inside the furnace will hit the charging feeder, causing it to tilt upwards. The components inside the transmission gearbox will be damaged by the enormous external force. When it is necessary to eliminate the influencing factors, the transmission gearbox is the most difficult part to troubleshoot. Problems inside the gearbox cannot be diagnosed based on digital data. If the problem is not detected and eliminated in time, it will have a huge impact on the blast furnace.
[0003] Therefore, a method for detecting α-angle faults in the top transmission gearbox of a bellless furnace is provided, which can solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that when a blast furnace experiences abnormal operation and gas flow in the pipeline, the sudden rise in high-pressure gas flow inside the furnace hits the material distributor, causing it to tilt upwards. This results in damage to various components within the transmission gearbox due to the immense external force. When troubleshooting influencing factors, the transmission gearbox is the most difficult part to address, as internal problems cannot be identified digitally. Failure to detect and resolve these problems promptly can have a significant impact on the blast furnace. Therefore, this invention provides a method for detecting α-angle faults in the bell-less blast furnace top transmission gearbox. This method includes:
[0005] A transmission gearbox and a star-shaped differential reducer; several transmission gears are distributed inside the transmission gearbox, and the star-shaped differential reducer and the transmission gearbox are driven by several gears, and are disposed on the upper part of the transmission gearbox; the transmission gearbox includes a rotating ring, a tilting ring, a tilting reducer, and a drive connecting rod; the fabric spreader is suspended on the drive connecting rod inside the transmission gearbox; the tilting reducer is used to realize the up and down tilting of the fabric spreader, characterized in that it includes:
[0006] S1. Read the encoder readings and code disk readings respectively;
[0007] S2. Compare the encoder readings and the code disk readings;
[0008] S3. When the encoder reading is equal to the code disk reading, the upper and lower limit method is used for detection. When the encoder reading is not equal to the code disk reading, the star differential reducer and gearbox are inspected.
[0009] S4. Determine the disassembly location based on the test results.
[0010] Furthermore, the procedure for repairing the star-shaped differential reducer and gearbox when the encoder reading is not equal to the code disk reading includes: repairing the star-shaped differential reducer when the encoder reading is greater than the code disk reading, and repairing the gearbox when the encoder reading is less than the code disk reading.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper and lower limit method detection includes:
[0012] Remove the two electrical limit switches on the encoder while the blast furnace is operating continuously.
[0013] Set the material distributor to the position next to the machine in the on-site control box;
[0014] Set the tilting mechanism to its lower limit to check if the lower part of the tilting mechanism is functioning properly.
[0015] Move the tilt mechanism to its upper limit to check if the upper part of the tilt mechanism is functioning properly.
[0016] Furthermore, determining whether the lower part of the tilting mechanism is normal by tilting to the lower limit includes: stopping the tilting when it is close to the lower limit of 15°, and continuing to tilt downwards after the tilting motor has stopped. If the tilting angle stops at 13°, it indicates that the lower part of the tilting transmission mechanism is normal. If the tilting continues without stopping at the mechanical limit of 13°, it indicates that the lower part of the tilting transmission mechanism is faulty.
[0017] Furthermore, the fault in the lower part of the tilting transmission mechanism is that the driven wheel on the tilting rotary ring and the tilting reducer is misaligned.
[0018] Furthermore, determining whether the upper part of the tilting mechanism is normal by tilting to the upper limit includes: stopping the tilting when it is close to the upper limit of 50°, and continuing to tilt upwards after the tilting motor has stopped. If the tilting angle stops at 53°, the mechanical limit is working normally and the upper part of the tilting transmission mechanism is normal. If the tilting angle does not stop at 53°, it indicates that there is a fault in the upper part of the transmission mechanism.
[0019] Furthermore, the fault in the upper part of the transmission mechanism is: damage to the tilting reducer and damage to the internal worm gear.
[0020] Furthermore, it also includes testing the change in the tilting motor current. When tilting downwards, the current increases or the motor is adjusted, causing the linkage actuator to tip over.
[0021] Implementing this invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. This invention enables inspection of the tilting motor without shutting down the blast furnace, achieving rapid inspection, reducing the impact on blast furnace production, and avoiding increased maintenance costs and abnormal operating conditions. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Example
[0028] Please refer to the accompanying drawings. The technical problem to be solved in this embodiment is that when the blast furnace experiences abnormal furnace conditions and pipeline gas flow, the high-pressure gas flow that rises instantaneously inside the furnace will hit the material distributor, causing the material distributor to tilt upwards. The components inside the transmission gearbox will be damaged by the enormous external force. When it is necessary to eliminate influencing factors, the transmission gearbox is the most difficult part to eliminate. Problems inside the gearbox cannot be determined by digital analysis. If the problem is not detected and eliminated in time, it will have a huge impact on the blast furnace. Therefore, a method for detecting α-angle faults in the bellless blast furnace top transmission gearbox is provided. The bellless blast furnace top transmission gearbox α-angle fault detection method includes:
[0029] A transmission gearbox and a star-shaped differential reducer; several transmission gears are distributed inside the transmission gearbox, and the star-shaped differential reducer and the transmission gearbox are driven by several gears, and are located on the upper part of the transmission gearbox; the transmission gearbox includes a rotating ring, a tilting ring, a tilting reducer, and a drive connecting rod; the fabric distributor is suspended on the drive connecting rod inside the transmission gearbox; the tilting reducer is used to realize the up and down tilting of the fabric distributor, characterized in that it includes:
[0030] S1. Read the encoder readings and code disk readings respectively;
[0031] S2. Compare the encoder readings and the code disk readings;
[0032] S3. When the encoder reading is equal to the code disk reading, the upper and lower limit method is used for detection. When the encoder reading is not equal to the code disk reading, the star differential reducer and gearbox are inspected.
[0033] S4. Determine the disassembly location based on the test results.
[0034] When the encoder reading is not equal to the code disk reading, the maintenance of the star differential reducer and gearbox includes: when the encoder reading is greater than the code disk reading, the star differential reducer is inspected; when the encoder reading is less than the code disk reading, the gearbox is inspected.
[0035] Upper and lower limit methods for detection include:
[0036] Remove the two electrical limit switches on the encoder while the blast furnace is operating continuously.
[0037] Set the material distributor to the position next to the machine in the on-site control box;
[0038] Set the tilting mechanism to its lower limit to check if the lower part of the tilting mechanism is functioning properly.
[0039] Move the tilt mechanism to its upper limit to check if the upper part of the tilt mechanism is functioning properly.
[0040] To determine if the lower part of the tilting mechanism is functioning properly, tilt the device to its lower limit. Stop tilting when it's close to the lower limit (15°). After the tilting motor has stopped, continue tilting downwards. If the tilting angle stops at 13°, the lower part of the tilting transmission mechanism is functioning correctly. If the tilting continues without stopping at the 13° mechanical limit, the lower part of the tilting transmission mechanism is faulty.
[0041] The fault in the lower part of the tilting transmission mechanism is: misalignment of the driven wheel on the tilting slewing ring and the tilting reducer.
[0042] To determine if the upper part of the tilting mechanism is functioning properly, tilt the device to its upper limit (approximately 50°) and stop tilting. After the tilting motor has come to a complete stop, continue tilting upwards. If the tilting angle stops at 53°, the mechanical limit switch is functioning correctly, and the upper part of the tilting transmission mechanism is normal. If the tilting angle reaches 53° but the mechanical limit switch does not stop, it indicates a malfunction in the upper part of the transmission mechanism.
[0043] The fault in the upper part of the transmission mechanism is: the tilting reducer is damaged and the internal worm gear is damaged.
[0044] It also includes testing the change in current of the tilting motor. When tilting downwards, if the current increases or the motor is adjusted, the linkage actuator will tip over.
[0045] In this embodiment: a transmission gearbox for a bellless furnace top material feeder includes a transmission gearbox 1, a rotating motor 7, a tilting motor 8, and various driven gears; the fault detection of the transmission gearbox includes the rotating ring 2, the tilting ring 3, the driven wheel 5, the tilting reducer 4, and the tilting connecting rod 6. Faults in any of these components will cause the material feeding tilting angle to become disordered.
[0046] When there is frequent gas flow in the blast furnace, the driven wheel 5, reducer 4, and tilting connecting rod 6 in the transmission gearbox may be damaged or deformed by external forces. Each of these problems will lead to inaccurate material feeding angle. This invention involves removing the two electrical limit switches on the tilt encoder while the blast furnace is operating continuously. The material distributor is positioned next to the machine on the control box. The tilt is manually adjusted to approximately the lower limit of 15° and then stopped. After the tilt motor stops, the tilt is continued downwards. If the tilt stops at 13°, the mechanical limit switch is functioning correctly, and the lower part of the tilt transmission mechanism is normal. If the tilt does not stop at 13° and the tilt continues, a fault exists within the transmission gearbox, causing inaccurate tilt angles. Alternatively, the tilt is manually adjusted to approximately the upper limit of 50° and then stopped. After the tilt motor stops, the tilt is continued upwards. If the tilt stops at 53°, the mechanical limit switch is functioning correctly, and the upper part of the tilt transmission mechanism is normal. If the tilt does not stop at 53° and the tilt continues, a fault exists within the transmission gearbox. If both of these conditions occur, an internal fault in the transmission gearbox is identified, requiring a shutdown.
[0047] When the transmission gearbox is working normally, the mechanical upper and lower limits of the tilting reducer are 13° to 53°. The rotating ring 2 rotates constantly, while the tilting ring 3 and the tilting reducer 4 operate during fabric feeding. Misalignment of the driven wheel 5 will cause the tilting ring to spin freely, affecting the tilting reducer and tilting mechanism.
