Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of furnace refractory brick technology, specifically to a furnace refractory brick and its production method. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, refractory bricks used in RH furnaces, namely directly bonded magnesia-chrome bricks, molten particle rebonded magnesia-chrome bricks, and magnesia-chrome bricks with finer pores, are usually made of chromite and brick-making magnesia. During the refining process in RH furnaces, the lower part, bottom, and throat of the RH vacuum chamber need to be subjected to high-speed circulating molten steel scouring, superheating, and penetration. Therefore, RH furnace bricks are required for lining during the construction process.

[0003] A search revealed a patent published on July 8, 2022, in China, patent publication number CN114719285A, for a refractory brick used in boiler construction. The general description includes a brick body, a locking block located at the center of the upper surface of the brick body, a locking groove located at the center of the lower surface of the brick body, and a rotating mechanism located on the upper surface of the brick body corresponding to the locking block. The rotating mechanism includes a placement groove on the upper surface of the brick body corresponding to the locking block, two fixing rings symmetrically fixedly connected to the sidewall of the placement groove at the position corresponding to the locking block, and a rotating shaft positioned between the two fixing rings. A sleeve is fitted onto the outer circumference of the rotating shaft located between the two fixing rings; a connecting block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer circumference of the sleeve.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned existing technical solutions can reduce the impact of the collision between bricks caused by the bumps of the transport vehicle on the jammed block, reduce the occurrence of cracks or breaks at the connection between the jammed block and the brick body, and reduce the impact on subsequent refractory brick laying, the refractory bricks are not easy to replace when damaged in the later stage, and the refractory brick laying is relatively low.

Steel structures are installed within both the first brick body 1 and the second brick body 2 to enhance their stability. The first brick body 1 and the second brick body 2 are slidably connected, facilitating future replacement of refractory bricks in different positions. Both the first brick body 1 and the second brick body 2 have moving grooves and connecting grooves. The connecting assembly includes a connecting block 3, which is detachably connected to the connecting groove.

Slots are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the connecting block 3 to facilitate better connection of multiple first brick bodies 1 or second brick bodies 2. The second bricks 2 are more easily connected to each other, improving convenience, eliminating the tedious operation of applying refractory mortar, shortening the time required for RH furnace refractory wall construction, improving the work efficiency of RH furnace refractory wall construction, and reducing the occurrence of large differences in the joints of the constructed refractory walls. In addition, a fixed plate 7 is fixedly connected in the moving groove, and a gear 8 is rotatably connected on the fixed plate 7. The gear 8 meshes with multiple first gear teeth 9 and multiple second gear teeth 10. Multiple first gear teeth 9 are fixedly connected to a first connecting plate 11, and a moving plate 12 is fixedly connected to the first connecting plate 11. Two sliding columns 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the moving plate 12. Both sliding columns 13 are slidably connected to the second bricks 2. Rollers are rotatably connected to the bottom of the two sliding columns 13. Multiple second gear teeth 10 are fixedly connected to a second connecting plate 14. A limit plate 15 is installed in the moving groove, which facilitates the replacement of refractory bricks in the later stage, improves practicality, and allows all refractory bricks to be replaced in one position.

[0033] It should also be noted that the steel structure includes multiple first reinforcing bars 16, which are installed inside the first brick body 1 and the second brick body 2. The bottom ends of the multiple first reinforcing bars 16 are fixedly connected by multiple second reinforcing bars 17. The bottom ends of the multiple second reinforcing bars 17 are fixedly connected to a connecting frame 18. The bottom ends of the connecting frame 18 are fixedly connected to a third reinforcing bar 19. The bottom ends of the third reinforcing bar 19 are fixedly connected to a fourth reinforcing bar 20. This structure can better stabilize the refractory bricks, improve reliability, and has a lighter weight, higher reliability, and good vibration resistance and impact resistance. The first brick body 1 and the second brick body 2 are both arc-shaped bricks. The multiple first brick bodies 1 and the multiple second brick bodies 2 form a column. The first layer is composed of first brick bodies 1, and the rest are composed of second brick bodies 2. Rollers 21 are rotatably connected to the two sliding columns 13. Handles 22 are fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 14. The refractory material is magnesia, including 85-95% MgO, 2.8-4.5% SiO2, and 0.8-1.4% CaO.

[0034] In summary, when using this furnace refractory brick, firstly, multiple first bricks 1 are connected to form a base, and then second bricks 2 are placed and connected sequentially. Each layer is slidably connected by rollers 21. The second connecting plate 14 is slidable by the handle 22, and the first connecting plate 11 is moved up and down by the gear 8 for disassembly. The multiple first bricks 1 are connected to each other by connecting components, and the multiple second bricks 2 are connected to each other by connecting components. When refractory brick production is required, the components of the aggregate are added to a mixer according to the above-mentioned weight proportions and mixed evenly to obtain an aggregate mixture. Then, the components of the powder are added to a mixer according to the above-mentioned weight proportions and mixed evenly to obtain a powder mixture. Finally, the components of the binder are added to a mixer according to the above-mentioned weight proportions and mixed evenly to obtain a binder mixture. Water is added to prepare a mixed slurry, with the water amount being 8-12% of the aggregate weight. The aggregate mixture and the mixed slurry are then introduced into a mixer and stirred to obtain aggregate. The aggregate is then placed into a mold to obtain refractory bricks. The raw materials for the refractory bricks used in this furnace are composed of 70-100 parts of aggregate, 25-34 parts of powder, and 8-14 parts of binder by weight. The aggregate is composed of 16-20 parts of light-burned dolomite, 20-28 parts of magnesite ore, 21-25 parts of chromite ore, and 13-22 parts of clay clinker by weight. The powder is composed of 6-9 parts of beryllium oxide, 15-19 parts of sillimanite powder, and 1-3 parts of aluminum titanate by weight. The binder is composed of 1-3 parts of light-burned high-alumina bauxite powder, 5-7 parts of clay, and 2-4 parts of magnesium phosphate cementing material by weight.

[0035] It should also be noted that the refractory bricks used in this furnace have high erosion resistance, high compressive strength, and low surface roughness, which can prevent the refractory bricks from falling off due to impact during the rotation of the rotary kiln. The low surface roughness and strong corrosion resistance of the refractory bricks reduce the friction of materials on the inner wall of the rotary kiln, thereby effectively preventing the phenomenon of material accumulation and ring formation caused by high friction adhering to the refractory bricks. The refractory coating on the surface of the refractory bricks has good thermal conductivity, which can effectively prevent the ring formation caused by the temperature difference between the material and the kiln wall.

[0036] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of specific implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
