Description

Technical Field

It can greatly improve the technical and economic indicators of the blast furnace, has significant economic benefits, and can also ease the demand for coke, reduce coke consumption, and reduce the pollution caused by coking production to the environment.

[0003] The pulverizing, feeding and injection systems for blast furnace pulverized coal injection are filled with various pipes and many valves. The reliability of the valves plays an important role in the blast furnace injection process. Therefore, it is very important to improve the sealing performance and extend the service life of the valves. Although the current ball valves can improve the wear resistance through material innovation, they cannot effectively solve the problem of wear caused by coal powder entering between the valve body and the valve core. In addition, the existing valve body is unstable in the process of closing and opening. During the closing process, the coal powder transported by the airflow is suddenly blocked, forming a vortex and accumulating at the valve core. When opening, the coal powder accumulated at the valve core cannot be supplied in time, so that the coal powder cannot be effectively supplied at the beginning of opening, and all the coal powder is supplied in a concentrated manner after opening. This has a serious impact on the uniformity of coal powder transportation in the conveying pipeline. For this reason, a special ball valve for coal powder injection is proposed.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1-7 A ball valve specially used for pulverized coal injection includes a ball valve body, which is composed of a valve seat 1 and a ball valve core 2. Furthermore, a spherical opening for installing the ball valve core 2 is opened in the valve seat 1. The ball valve core 2 is located in the spherical opening, and a sealing ring layer 18 is provided on its side wall. The setting of the sealing ring layer 18 can improve the sealing performance after the ball valve core 2 is closed.

[0031] A through-valve port 3 is provided in the ball valve inner core 2, and an air blowing anti-wear component is provided in the ball valve inner core 2. Furthermore, the air blowing anti-wear component includes an annular air channel 19 opened in the ball valve inner core 2, and the inner wall of the through-valve port 3 is densely covered with air holes 20. The air holes 20 are connected to the annular air channel 19. The air holes 20 are obliquely arranged on the inner wall of the through-valve port 3. The air holes 20 are divided into two groups and are relatively staggered.

[0032] A further benefit of adopting the above method is that each time the ball valve inner core 2 is rotated, the coal powder dust at the spherical mouth can be blown away in advance, and the coal powder can be blown away in advance, effectively avoiding dust from entering the gap between the spherical mouth and the ball valve inner core 2, effectively reducing the friction generated during the rotation process, and improving the life of the ball valve.

[0033] A control seat 4 is provided on the outside of the valve seat 1. A swivel control end connected to the ball valve inner core 2 is provided at one end of the control seat 4. A pneumatic control component is provided at the other end of the control seat 4. Both ends of the valve seat 1 are connected to a butt joint 5. The ends of the butt joint 5 are provided with a pipe flange 6 connected to the coal powder conveying pipeline.

[0034] A spherical groove 7 is provided at the bottom of the butt joint tube 5 on one side. An air induction member is provided in the butt joint tube 5 at the spherical groove 7. Further, the air induction member includes a central shaft 16 rotatably provided on the inner side wall of the butt joint tube 5. An air induction plate 17 is sleeved on the central shaft 16. The air induction plate 17 is circular and has an uneven wave-like shape as a whole.

[0035] It should be noted that the spherical groove 7 is arranged at the butt joint pipe 5 on the air inlet side, and can only play a role at the butt joint pipe 5 on the air inlet side. The spherical groove 7 is arranged to collect the coal powder accumulated at the end of the butt joint pipe 5 when the ball valve is closed in the spherical groove 7. When the ball valve is opened, the air induced plate 17 can be used in time to replenish the coal powder into the ball valve for transportation, so as to achieve the effect of uniform transportation.

[0036] It is worth noting that the material of the air induced plate 17 in this solution is a lightweight plastic material. After the ball valve is opened, it is in a horizontal state under the action of wind, which reduces wind resistance and does not affect normal material transportation. When the valve is just opened, the wind force will be guided by the inclined air induced plate 17. The guided wind will be transported obliquely into the spherical groove 7, thereby achieving rapid transportation of the coal powder therein and supplementing the shortage of coal powder when the valve is just opened.

[0037] The rotary shaft control end includes a manual control shaft 8 provided on the control seat 4, and a rotary shaft connector 9 is provided at both ends of the ball valve inner core 2. The manual control shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the rotary shaft connector 9 on one side. A start-and-stop motor 10 is provided on the control seat 4, and the output end of the start-and-stop motor 10 is connected to the manual control shaft 8 through a first gear transmission member.

[0038] A further benefit of adopting the above method is that, by providing the manual control shaft 8 , the ball valve can be opened and closed by rotating the manual control shaft 8 in case of emergency use.

[0039] The pneumatic control assembly includes a mounting port on the control seat 4, in which two pneumatic discs 11 are provided. A central connecting disc 12 is provided inside the pneumatic disc 11. The central connecting discs 12 are connected by a rotating shaft 13. The rotating shaft 13 is connected to the output end of the opening and closing motor 10 through a second gear transmission member. An extrusion piston member is provided on the outer wall of the central connecting disc 12.

[0040] It should be noted that there are two pneumatic discs 11, and the structures inside the pneumatic discs 11 are arranged in opposite directions, so that when opening and closing the valve, two different pneumatic discs 11 can supply air, and the piston is used to compress the gas and transport it, which mostly clears the coal powder on the contact surface.

[0041] Furthermore, an arc-shaped air pressure port is opened in the pneumatic disc 11, and the extrusion piston member includes a pneumatic piston 23 arranged in the arc-shaped air pressure port. The pneumatic piston 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the central connecting disc 12 through an L-shaped extrusion rod 24. A connecting pipe 25 connected to the air collecting ring 14 is provided on the side wall of the arc-shaped air pressure port, and a one-way air valve pipe 26 is provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped air pressure port.

[0042] The extrusion piston is located in the arc-shaped air pressure port to achieve the effect of squeezing air and realize pressurized gas transmission.

[0043] The one-way valve pipe 26 can only achieve the effect of one-way air intake, and a one-way valve is also provided in the air supply pipe 15, which can only achieve the effect of one-way air supply;

[0044] An air collecting ring 14 is provided on the outer wall of the pneumatic disc 11, and the air collecting ring 14 is connected to the air blowing anti-wear component through an air pipe 15. The setting of the air collecting ring 14 can realize the collection of gas in multiple arc-shaped air pressure ports before delivery.

[0045] Furthermore, adjacent gas collecting rings 14 are connected through connecting pipes 25. One end of the gas delivery pipe 15 is connected to the gas collecting ring 14, and the other end is connected to the shaft connector 9. A through air channel connected to the annular air channel 19 is opened in the shaft connector 9 on one side of the gas delivery pipe 15.

[0046] Furthermore, the first gear transmission member and the second gear transmission member are both composed of a driving gear 21 and a transmission gear 22. The driving gear 21 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the opening and closing motor 10, and the two transmission gears 22 are distributed on the manual control shaft 8 and the rotating shaft 13.

[0047] When the present invention is in use, when the ball valve inner core 2 is closed by the opening and closing motor 10, the output end of the opening and closing motor 10 rotates, which will drive the driving gear 21 connected thereto, and the transmission gear 22 meshing with the driving gear 21 will drive the manual control shaft 8 to rotate. The rotated manual control shaft 8 will drive the ball valve inner core 2 connected thereto via the rotating shaft connector 9 to rotate, thereby closing the ball valve. In this process, the center connecting plate 12 connected thereto via the rotating shaft 13 will rotate, and during the rotation process, the pneumatic piston 23 connected thereto via the L-shaped extrusion rod 24 will squeeze the air, thereby mostly compressing the gas and delivering it to the blowing hole 20 provided on the ball valve inner core 2. During the delivery, the coal powder between the valve seat 1 and the ball valve inner core 2 during the closing process will be effectively blown away, thereby avoiding dust from entering the gap between the spherical port and the ball valve inner core 2, effectively reducing the friction generated during the rotation process, and improving the service life of the ball valve.

[0048] When the ball valve is opened, the ball valve core 2 is rotated by controlling the opening and closing motor 10. During the rotation, the through valve port 3 that first contacts the ball valve core 2 will open from the spherical groove 7. At this time, the coal powder conveying pipe is connected, and the gas therein is conveyed. However, due to the presence of the air induced plate 17, the gas will be transported through the spherical groove 7 after the action of the air induced plate 17. This can increase the gas pressure passing through the not fully opened through valve port 3 during the opening process of the ball valve core 2. While the gas pressure increases, the accumulated coal powder stored in the spherical groove 7 will be used to supplement the coal powder amount of the high-pressure gas, thereby ensuring the uniform delivery of coal powder during the opening process.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
