[0018] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation manners of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0019] It should be noted that the structures, ratios, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings of this specification are only used to cooperate with the content disclosed in the specification for those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limited conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Therefore, they do not have a substantial technical meaning. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportional relationship, or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects that the present invention can produce and the purposes that can be achieved, should still fall within the scope that can be covered by the technical content disclosed in the present invention. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. cited in this specification are only for the convenience of clear narration and are not used to limit the scope under which the present invention can be implemented. The change or adjustment of their relative relationships, without substantial change in the technical content, should also be regarded as the scope within which the present invention can be implemented.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the present invention provides a sliding device for a blast furnace top gear box, including a main frame 100, rollers 200 located on both sides of the main frame 100, and a gear box fixing part located under the main frame 100: at least two rollers 200 are arranged on each side of the main frame 100, and a limiting part is arranged on the rollers 200 on only one side, and the limiting part confines the rollers 200 to roll on the guide rail 600. In the prior art, a sliding track for sliding the blast furnace top gear box is originally provided on the blast furnace top to a predetermined platform, and the sliding track is composed of two parallel guide rails 600, and the two guide rails 600 are spaced and suspended.

[0021] When using this sliding device to transport the gear box, first, detach the gear box from the blast furnace and fix the gear box on the fixing part; then place the sliding device with the gear box on the track and tow the sliding device to slide to a predetermined position. During the transportation of the gear box, it is suspended on the fixing part and is located between the two guide rails 600 in a suspended state. Setting the fixing part of the gear box on the integrally structured main frame 100 and arranging rollers 200 on the main frame 100 ensure that the fixing part of the gear box can slide synchronously and smoothly on the track.

[0022] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, further, the limiting part is an annular groove 210 provided on the outer circumferential surface of the roller 200. The limiting part is an annular groove 210 provided on the outer circumferential surface of the roller 200. When the roller 200 rolls on the guide rail 600, the guide rail 600 is located in the annular groove 210. Since the track is exposed to the open air for a long time, the cleaning condition of the guide rail 600 is not very good. Using the form of the annular groove 210 adapted to the guide rail 600 for limiting has a simple structure. During the sliding process, the two rollers 200 on both sides cannot ensure that they are always perpendicular to the guide rail 600. If annular grooves 210 are provided on both rollers 200 on both sides and the two rollers 200 on both sides deviate, the rollers 200 will directly get stuck on the guide rail 600, resulting in the inability of the sliding device to move. Therefore, only the rollers 200 on one side of the main frame 100 are provided with annular grooves 210.

[0023] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, wherein the main frame 100 is an integrally structured body. Specifically, the main frame 100 includes a number of load-bearing beams 110 connected to each other. The main frame 100 spliced by the load-bearing beams 110 has a simple structure and is convenient for processing. After processing, strength verification is still required to ensure the safety of this tool.

[0024] At least one traction part 300 is provided at the front end of the main frame body 100, and the traction part 300 is connected to external power. In this embodiment, three traction parts 300 are provided. For the middle one, an electric winch is used for traction. If the traction force is insufficient, hoists are hung on both sides for auxiliary traction.

[0025] The gearbox fixing parts are several lifting points 400, and the gearbox is fixed on the lifting points 400 through a connecting part. An electric hoist can be used as the connecting part. Since there is a gap and the two guide rails 600 are suspended, an electric hoist can be used to connect the gearbox to the main frame body 100, and the gearbox slides along the track. Preferably, in this embodiment, four lifting points 400 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the main frame body 100.

[0026] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, several traveling wheels 500 are provided below the sliding device for the transportation of the sliding device itself. Specifically, the wheelbase of the traveling wheels 500 is consistent with the track spacing on the cloth chute layer platform. When the sliding device is idle, it can be placed on the track on the cloth chute layer platform for pushing.

[0027] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a transportation method for a blast furnace top gearbox includes the following steps: S1. Detach the gearbox from the blast furnace and connect and fix the gearbox to the lifting points 400 through a connecting part; S2. Place the sliding device with the gearbox on the guide rail 600 and tow the sliding device to slide to a predetermined position. Specifically, use the blast furnace top traveling crane to hoist the sliding device onto the original sliding track, use the towing device to connect to the traction part 300, and tow the sliding trolley to directly above the gearbox. Connect 4 electric hoists to the lifting points 400 respectively, lower the electric hoists until they are connected to the gearbox lifting points, adjust the 4 electric hoists to the stressed state respectively, and run the 4 electric hoists simultaneously until the gearbox is lifted to the sliding position. At the same time, tow the sliding device to the position where the traveling crane can hoist it, and use the top traveling crane of the furnace to hoist the whole composed of the sliding device and the gearbox to the top large platform to complete the removal of the old gearbox.

[0028] The above embodiments only illustratively explain the principles and effects of the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
