Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cold-rolled strip annealing, and in particular to a rapid cooling section sealing chamber for a continuous annealing furnace and an assembly process thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the typical cold-rolled strip process, the annealing furnace is one of the core equipment in the continuous annealing and galvanizing unit. In the cold-rolled strip process, the annealing of the strip is an important link in the production. Specifically, the annealing process is to heat the strip to a certain temperature, keep it for a sufficient time, and then cool it at an appropriate speed to eliminate residual stress, improve mechanical properties, stabilize the size and adjust the crystal phase structure. The cooling rate in the cooling process is particularly critical. The function of the fast cooling section of the annealing furnace is to quickly cool the strip.

[0003] In order to increase the cooling rate of the strip in the rapid cooling section, the most widely used technology in the industry is high hydrogen cooling, which is to inject high-concentration H2 into the furnace of the rapid cooling section to make the H2 concentration in the furnace atmosphere above 20%. Hydrogen is a highly flammable and explosive gas. It is necessary to ensure that the sealed chamber of the rapid cooling section has good isolation capabilities to prevent hydrogen from overflowing from the rapid cooling section to the adjacent furnace chambers at both ends. Otherwise, the hydrogen concentration in the rapid cooling section will not meet the standard, thereby affecting the rate of the strip cooling zone and causing quality accidents of the unit products. At the same time, hydrogen overflow will cause the hydrogen concentration in the adjacent furnace chambers to exceed the standard, which will pose a major safety hazard.

[0004] Generally speaking, in the typical continuous annealing and galvanizing units of the current cold-rolled sheet and strip process, the sealing chamber of the annealing furnace rapid cooling section is mostly designed with a narrow gap sealing filled with refractory castables. The narrow gap sealing design of castable filling is to fill a large amount of refractory castables in the sealing chamber. The shape of the castables must fit the shape of the sealing roller to form a narrow gap to reduce the overflow of the atmosphere in the rapid cooling section. However, in actual use, it is found that there are many defects: (1) The casting accuracy of the special-shaped castables in this design is difficult to control, the gap is too large, and the sealing is poor; the gap is too small, which is easy to cause the sealing roller to get stuck; (2) Once the casting body is completed, it is difficult to change and adjust, which is not conducive to the installation and commissioning of the sealing chamber; (3) The castable is brittle and has no toughness. It is easy to break and loosen during the roller replacement process, which is easy to cause problems such as poor sealing, sealing roller getting stuck, and slag falling to contaminate the sheet and strip; (4) The castable will powder and fall off after long-term use, causing surface quality accidents of the sheet and strip.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to provide a reliable, practical and effective sealed chamber for the rapid cooling section of the annealing furnace of the continuous annealing and galvanizing unit. Summary of the invention

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0057] 1. The fast cooling section sealed chamber for a continuous annealing furnace and its assembly process provided by the present invention have an external frame structure that is completely welded with light steel, have a simple manufacturing process, high structural strength, a simple installation method, and convenient adjustment of structural dimensions, and can adapt to the renovation and installation of continuous annealing and galvanizing line annealing furnaces of various specifications in the industry.

[0058] 2. The fast cooling section sealing chamber for a continuous annealing furnace provided by the present invention and its assembly process, the inner cavity of the sealing chamber is divided into 9 longitudinal cavities by steel plates, and is not filled with any refractory castables, which solves the problems of easy breakage and loosening of the castable during roller replacement, which can easily cause poor sealing, sealing roller jamming, slag pollution of the plate and strip, and the problem of powdering and falling of the castable after long-term use. At the same time, the total weight is reduced by 50%, the external frame weighing is reduced, and the risk of frame deformation is reduced.

[0059] 3. The fast cooling section sealing chamber and assembly process for the continuous annealing furnace provided by the present invention adopts metal graphite molding filling for the shaft end sealing cover unit, which also reduces the weight of the sealing chamber end cover and facilitates disassembly and assembly. Graphite has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, low density, small thermal expansion coefficient, and high brittleness, and is easy to mold and has high precision. The gap between the end cover and the bell mouth of the sealing roller can be effectively controlled, and the amount of atmosphere overflow in the fast cooling section furnace can be effectively reduced. At the same time, the metal graphite filling replaces the refractory castable filling, which solves the slag problem caused by the pulverization and loosening of the castable. At the same time, the metal graphite can be freely ground by rotating the sealing roller, so that the metal graphite cavity fits as much as possible without causing the sealing roller to get stuck.

[0060] 4. The invention provides a fast cooling section sealing chamber for a continuous annealing furnace and its assembly process. The gap sealing unit is designed with a roller body under-gap adjustment plate laid with graphite, which can effectively insulate and reduce the thermal deformation of the adjustment plate, which is conducive to further reducing the gap under the roller body and reducing the amount of atmosphere overflow in the fast cooling section. At the same time, the height of the sealing plate can be adjusted at will by rotating the top screw, thereby improving the adjustment ability and control accuracy of the gap under the roller body. The design of the sealing triangle plate at the bell mouth of the roller body effectively blocks the atmosphere in the furnace of the fast cooling section from overflowing through the bell mouth of the sealing roller.

[0061] In summary, the present invention reduces the gap around the sealing roller to the greatest extent, has high operability, and better ensures the sealing effect of the rapid cooling section. The hydrogen concentration in the rapid cooling section can reach 25-35% in the high hydrogen mode, and will not cause the hydrogen concentration in the furnace before and after the rapid cooling section to exceed the standard. Thus, the production process requirements of the annealing furnace of the continuous annealing and galvanizing unit can be better met.

[0062] In summary, the application of the technical solution of the present invention can solve the problems in the prior art of the casting accuracy of special-shaped castings in the casting material filling narrow gap sealing design, which is difficult to control, the gap is too large, and the sealing is poor; the gap is too small, which is easy to cause the sealing roller to get stuck; once the casting body is completed, it is difficult to change and adjust, which is not conducive to the installation and debugging of the sealing chamber; the casting is brittle and has no toughness. It is easy to be damaged and loose during the roller replacement process, which is easy to cause poor sealing, sealing roller sticking, slag falling and contamination of the plate and strip, etc.; the casting will powder and fall off after long-term use, causing the problem of surface quality accidents of the plate and strip.

[0063] Based on the above reasons, the present invention can be widely promoted in the fields of cold-rolled strip annealing and the like. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0087] The invention provides a rapid cooling section sealing chamber for a continuous annealing furnace, and relates to a rapid cooling section sealing chamber for a continuous annealing and galvanizing unit annealing furnace in a cold rolling strip process, and specifically relates to a rapid cooling section inlet and outlet sealing chamber that can effectively isolate the annealing furnace furnace atmosphere.

[0088] The fast cooling section sealing chamber comprises an outer frame structure, an internal cavity unit, an axial end sealing cover unit, a side manhole cover unit, and a gap sealing unit.

[0089] The external frame structure is welded by angle steel, steel plate and support, and has a rectangular structure. The upper and lower surfaces are respectively provided with sealing chamber inlet and outlet channel interfaces for connecting to the furnace; manhole flanges are arranged on the front and rear sides to facilitate the inspection of the sealing chamber, the inspection and replacement of the sealing roller, and the cleaning of the sealing chamber during maintenance; end face flange holes and supports are arranged on the left and right end faces, the flange holes are used for the extraction and installation of the sealing chamber, and the supports are used for the installation and fixation of the sealing chamber.

[0090] The internal cavity unit is a cavity structure formed by welding multiple steel plates of different specifications. Viewed from the end face, the entire sealing chamber inner cavity is divided into 9 cavities. Through the reasonable distribution of the cavities, plate and strip channels and sealing roller installation positions are formed. At the same time, the cavity design also reduces the overall weight of the sealing chamber to the greatest extent.

[0091] The shaft end sealing cover unit comprises a round long plate end cover flange, a steel ring, and a special-shaped metal graphite filler. The round long plate end cover flange is a long flange with arc-shaped ends, and bolt holes are evenly distributed on the flange edge, which matches the end face flange holes on the steel plate 2 at both ends of the external frame structure, and is connected and installed with a gasket 2 (sealing pad) by bolts.

[0092] Preferably, two oblong holes are distributed on the oblong plate end cover flange, which are respectively the holes through which the roller shafts of the two sealing rollers pass. Meanwhile, the oblong holes facilitate the lateral movement of the sealing rollers, thereby realizing the opening and closing action of the sealing rollers.

[0093] Preferably, threaded through holes are evenly distributed on the edge of the circular long hole, which are used to install the flexible expansion joint of the sealing roller shaft and are connected by bolts.

[0094] The steel ring is formed by a rectangular steel plate along the inner side of the round long plate end cover flange bolt to form a cavity, and is installed on the inner side of the round long plate end cover flange by welding.

[0095] The special-shaped metal graphite filler is integrally formed from preferred metal graphite powder, the inner ring shape of which fits the bell mouth of the sealing roller with a small gap therebetween, and the outer ring shape matches the inner cavity of the steel ring.

[0096] Preferably, the metal graphite has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, low density, small thermal expansion coefficient, high brittleness, and is easy to shape with high precision.

[0097] Preferably, the special-shaped metal graphite filler is embedded in the steel ring cavity through anchoring nails welded on the round long plate end cover flange.

[0098] The side manhole cover unit has a handle, a flange, a panel, refractory fiber cotton, an anchoring nail, and a sealing plate. The handle is welded to the outside of the flange to facilitate the installation of the manhole cover. The flange is made of steel plate, and bolt holes are evenly distributed on the edge. It is installed with the manhole flange in the above-mentioned external frame structure through bolt connection. The panel, refractory fiber cotton, anchoring nail, and sealing plate constitute the thermal insulation layer of the manhole cover. The anchoring nail is used to fix the refractory fiber cotton. The panel and the sealing plate are used to seal the exposed part of the fiber cotton to prevent the fiber cotton from being damaged or falling off. The panel and the sealing plate are fixed by welding.

[0099] The gap sealing unit comprises a gap adjustment plate under the roller body and a sealing triangle plate for the bell mouth of the roller body. The gap adjustment plate under the roller body is made of a rectangular steel plate 6-2 with a metal graphite plate 6-1 laid on one side, a total of 2 pieces, which are respectively placed under the roller bodies of the two sealing rollers. The sealing triangle plate for the bell mouth of the roller body is a welded part, in the shape of an isosceles triangle, with arcs on both sides, welded and installed at both ends of the lower channel of the strip steel in the sealing chamber near the bell mouth of the sealing roller, and the arc fits the arc of the roller body of the sealing roller with a small gap.

[0100] The technical solution to the above problem is to design an invented sealed chamber for the rapid cooling section of the annealing furnace in the cold-rolled strip processing line. Figure 1 The entire sealed chamber external frame structure shown is completely welded with light steel, with simple manufacturing process, high structural strength, simple installation method, and convenient adjustment of structural dimensions. It can adapt to the renovation and installation of various specifications of continuous annealing and galvanizing line annealing furnaces in the industry.

[0101] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner cavity of the sealing chamber is divided into 9 longitudinal cavities by steel plates, without any refractory castable filling, which solves the problems of castable being easily damaged and loosened during roller changing, which may easily cause poor sealing, sealing roller jamming, slag falling and contamination of plate and strip, as well as the problem of powdering and falling of castable after long-term use.

[0102] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner cavity of the sealed chamber is divided into 9 longitudinal cavities by steel plates. Compared with the traditional sealed chamber, the total weight is reduced by 50%, the weight of the external frame is reduced, and the risk of frame deformation is reduced.

[0103] like Figure 4 As shown, the shaft end sealing cover unit adopts metal graphite molding filling, which also reduces the weight of the sealing chamber end cover and facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0104] The metal graphite has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, low density, low thermal expansion coefficient, high brittleness, and is easy to shape and has high precision. It can effectively control the gap between the end cover and the bell mouth of the sealing roller, and can effectively reduce the amount of atmosphere overflow in the rapid cooling section furnace.

[0105] The metal graphite filling replaces the refractory castable filling, solves the slag problem caused by the pulverization and loosening of the castable, and can freely grind the metal graphite through the rotation of the sealing roller, so that the inner cavity of the metal graphite fits as closely as possible without causing the sealing roller to get stuck.

[0106] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the gap adjustment plate under the roller body designed with the gap sealing unit is paved with graphite, which can effectively insulate and reduce the thermal deformation of the adjustment plate, which is conducive to further reducing the gap under the roller body and reducing the amount of atmosphere overflow in the rapid cooling section.

[0107] like Figure 2As shown, at the same time, the steel plate 2-14 on the lower side of the sealing plate is designed with 4 bolt top screws (i.e., roller body sealing plate adjusting screws 2-17), and the steel plate 2-16 is provided with a rectangular hole, through which the top screw can be rotated to adjust the height of the sealing plate at will, thereby improving the adjustment capability and control accuracy of the gap on the lower side of the roller body.
