Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of coking coal blending technology, and more particularly to a coking coal charging leveling rod and a leveling method. Background Technology
[0002] In the coking process of top-charged coke ovens, a leveling rod is installed on the coke pusher to ensure uniform coal loading inside the carbonization chamber. The leveling rod enters the carbonization chamber via a transmission mechanism and levels the coal inside, a process commonly known as "coal leveling." The leveling rod is typically a box-shaped frame with vertical tie plates distributed on both sides and ends. These tie plates move horizontally within the carbonization chamber as the leveling rod moves, leveling the coal pile left after loading, thereby increasing the amount of coal charged into the coke oven and improving coke production.
[0003] However, since the end of the leveling rod is generally vertical, it is easily obstructed by protruding corners during the leveling process, causing uneven leveling. Furthermore, when the leveling rod retracts from the carbonization chamber, it carries some coking coal out, affecting charging efficiency. Typically, a 6m coke oven charges 28.5 tons of dry coal per hole, and a 7m coke oven charges 41.2 tons of dry coal per hole. Additionally, the leveling rod is usually fixed to the coke pusher and can only move horizontally; it cannot apply pressure vertically. Therefore, the leveling rod can only spread the coal, resulting in relatively loose coal in the carbonization chamber. The coal can only be compacted by its own weight, causing uneven stress on coal at different heights and uneven coke quality. Because the leveling rod's own weight is entirely loaded on the end connected to the coke pusher, and the high temperature inside the carbonization chamber, long-term use can easily cause fatigue deformation of the iron parts of the leveling rod, leading to bending and affecting its service life. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the technical problem that the existing coal leveling rod cannot achieve both compaction and smooth coal leveling, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the coal leveling rod during the coal leveling process, so that the coal in the carbonization chamber is loaded as evenly and evenly as possible, and to reduce the amount of coal carried out when the coal leveling rod is withdrawn, while also ensuring the coal in the carbonization chamber is compacted after leveling, this invention provides a coking coal leveling rod and a coal leveling method.
[0005] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:
[0006] A coking coal charging leveling rod, wherein the front end face of the leveling rod is an arc-shaped surface, a roller is fixedly installed at the lower part of the arc-shaped surface, and a rolling roller is rotatably installed on the roller;
[0007] The front end of the coal leveling rod is provided with a coal scraper and a bushing; the bushing is fixedly installed on the coal leveling rod, the coal scraper is arranged along the width direction of the coal leveling rod and a rotating shaft is fixedly installed at one end, and the rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the bushing.
[0008] Connecting lugs are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft. The connecting lugs are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft, with one end fixedly connected to the traction chain at the output end of the motor and the other end connected to the connecting lug. The motor is used to drive the traction chain to pull the connecting lug and drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby controlling the angle α between the coal scraper and the vertical direction. The width of the coal scraper is greater than the distance between the axis of the rotating shaft and the surface of the coal seam. When the traction chain is under force, it can effectively reduce the vibration of the leveling rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is fixedly installed at the front end of the coal scraper.
[0010] Furthermore, the contact surface between the scraper plate and the coal seam surface has a multi-tooth structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is equipped with a blocking valve to limit the rotation angle.
[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the rolling roller is uniformly provided with a number of protrusions along the circumference, and the included angle between two adjacent protrusions is 10 to 50°.
[0013] Furthermore, the angle α between the scraper plate and the vertical direction ranges from 5° to the angle between the tangent of the arc surface passing through the center point of the rotating bushing and the vertical direction.
[0014] Furthermore, it includes two traction chains and two motors, each traction chain being connected to one motor and one connecting lug. When controlling the angle α between the coal scraper and the vertical direction, the two motors simultaneously drive the corresponding traction chain to work.
[0015] This invention also provides a coal leveling method, which uses the above-mentioned coking coal leveling rod, specifically including the following steps:
[0016] Step 1: Before the coal leveling rod enters the coke oven carbonization chamber, the motor is turned on to make the output end of the motor rotate, thereby winding the traction chain. The traction chain pulls the connecting lug to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the coal scraper rotates to an angle α between it and the vertical direction greater than 90°, and then the motor is turned off.
[0017] Step 2: During the process of the coal leveling rod entering the coke oven carbonization chamber, the coal is leveled by the front end of the leveling rod and the scraper plate, and the rolling roller rolls along the surface of the coal layer after leveling to compact the coal. When the leveling rod enters the deepest part of the coke oven carbonization chamber, the motor is turned on, the wound traction chain is released, and the scraper plate rotates, reducing the angle α between it and the vertical direction until it contacts the surface of the coal layer. At this time, the traction chain is no longer under force. The leveling rod withdraws from the deepest part of the coke oven carbonization chamber, and the rolling roller rolls along the surface of the coal layer after leveling to compact the coal.
[0018] Step 3: Repeat steps 1 to 2 2 to 5 times until the coal seam surface is flat. Turn on the motor, and the output end of the motor will rotate to wind the traction chain, causing the coal scraper to rotate. The angle α between the scraper and the vertical direction will gradually increase until the lower end of the coal scraper leaves the coal seam surface. Turn off the motor, and then remove the coal leveling rod from the coke oven carbonization chamber. The coal leveling operation is now complete.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0020] The coking coal charging leveling rod and method provided by this invention, compared with traditional leveling rods and methods, not only reduce the vibration of the leveling rod and the friction between the leveling rod and the coal and furnace wall, preventing coal from being carried out and touching the furnace wall during retraction, but also allow the scraper to effectively level and compact the coal charged in the carbonization chamber after leveling. In particular, the adjustment of the convex angle of the rolling roller for coking coal of different fineness effectively improves the degree of coal compaction, thereby increasing the coal charging capacity per hole of the carbonization chamber by more than 1.5%, increasing coke production, and improving coke quality.
[0021] Based on the above reasons, this invention can be widely promoted in the field of coking coal blending. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this invention.
[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a coking coal leveling rod 1. The front end face of the leveling rod 1 is an arc-shaped surface. A roller 4 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the arc-shaped surface. A rolling roller 5 is rotatably installed on the roller 4. The lower end face of the rolling roller 5 is on the same plane as the lower end face of the leveling rod 1. It can roll along the surface of the coal layer during the leveling process.
[0037] The front end of the coal leveling rod 1 is provided with a coal scraper 3 and a bushing 9; the bushing 9 is fixedly installed on the coal leveling rod 1, the coal scraper 3 is arranged along the width direction of the coal leveling rod 1 and a rotating shaft 8 is fixedly installed at one end, the rotating shaft 8 is rotatably installed on the bushing 9, so that the coal scraper 3 can rotate relative to the coal leveling rod 1 in the vertical direction.
[0038] The rotating shaft 8 is provided with connecting lugs 6 at both ends; the connecting lugs 6 are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 8, one end of which is fixedly connected to the traction chain 2 at the output end of the motor, and the other end is connected to the connecting lugs 6. The motor is used to drive the traction chain 2 (by rotating the output end, the traction chain 2 is wound or unwound on the output end) to pull the connecting lugs 6 to drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, thereby controlling the angle α between the coal scraper 3 and the vertical direction; the motor is set on the coke pusher car; the width of the coal scraper 3 is greater than the distance between the axis of the rotating shaft 8 and the surface of the coal seam.
[0039] Furthermore, the scraper plate 3 has a bottom-heavy and top-light structure. A reinforcing rib 10 is fixedly installed at the front end of the scraper plate 3 to increase the weight at the front end. When the scraper plate 3 retracts, it can scrape the surface coal material flat under its own weight and the traction force of the leveling rod 1.
[0040] Furthermore, the contact surface between the scraper plate 3 and the coal seam surface has a multi-tooth structure, which can reduce the resistance during the scraping process of the scraper plate 3, prevent the coal material 12 from being carried out, and at the same time scrape the coal material 12 flat.
[0041] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 8 is equipped with a blocking valve 7 to limit the rotation angle, which is used to prevent the coal scraper 3 from rotating too much under the traction of the traction chain 2.
[0042] Furthermore, the surface of the rolling roller 5 is uniformly provided with a plurality of protrusions 11 along the circumference. On the one hand, the protrusions 11 can increase the compaction effect of the coal leveling rod 1 on the coal material. On the other hand, the protrusions 11 can prevent the rolling roller 5 from not rolling due to slippage during the movement of the coal leveling rod 1. The included angle between two adjacent protrusions is 10 to 50°.
[0043] Furthermore, the number of protrusions 11 depends on the fineness of the coal 12: when the fineness of the coal 12 is <72%, the included angle between two adjacent protrusions 11 is 45°; when the fineness of the coal 12 is between 72% and 76%, the included angle between two adjacent protrusions 11 is 30°; and when the fineness of the coal 12 is >76%, the included angle between two adjacent protrusions 11 is 10°.
[0044] Furthermore, the angle α between the scraper plate 3 and the vertical direction ranges from 5° to the angle between the tangent of the arc-shaped surface passing through the axis of the rotating sleeve 9 and the vertical direction (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown).
[0045] Furthermore, it includes two traction chains 2 and two motors, each traction chain 2 is connected to one motor and one connecting lug 6, and when controlling the angle α between the coal scraper plate 3 and the vertical direction, the two motors simultaneously drive the corresponding traction chain 2 to work.
[0046] Furthermore, it includes a traction chain 2 and a motor, one end of the traction chain 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the other end is connected to the two connecting earrings 6 respectively through pulleys.
[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a coal leveling method, which uses the above-mentioned coking coal leveling rod, specifically including the following steps:
[0048] Step 1: Before the coal leveling rod 1 enters the coke oven carbonization chamber 13, the motor is turned on to make the output end of the motor rotate, thereby winding the traction chain 2. The traction chain 2 pulls the connecting lug 6 to drive the rotating shaft 8 to rotate, so that the coal scraper 3 rotates to an angle α between it and the vertical direction greater than 90°, and then the motor is turned off.
[0049] Step 2: During the process of the coal leveling rod 1 entering the coke oven carbonization chamber 13, the coal is leveled by the front end of the coal leveling rod 1 and the coal scraper 3, and the rolling roller 5 rolls along the surface of the coal layer after leveling to compact the coal.
[0050] When the coal leveling rod 1 enters the deepest part of the coke oven carbonization chamber 13, the motor is turned on, the wound traction chain 2 is released, and the coal scraper 3 rotates, the angle α between it and the vertical direction gradually decreases until it contacts the coal seam surface. At this time, the traction chain 2 is not under force.
[0051] The coal leveling rod 2 exits from the deepest part of the coke oven carbonization chamber 13, and the rolling roller 5 rolls along the coal seam surface after leveling to compact the coal material; the coal scraper 3 with a multi-tooth structure can scrape and compact the coal seam surface after leveling again under the action of the reinforcing rib 10 and its own weight.
[0052] Step 3: Repeat steps 1 to 2 2 to 5 times until the coal seam surface is flat. Turn on the motor and the output end of the motor rotates and winds the traction chain 2, causing the coal scraper 3 to rotate. The angle α between the scraper 3 and the vertical direction gradually increases until the lower end of the coal scraper 3 leaves the coal seam surface. Turn off the motor and then remove the leveling rod 1 from the coke oven carbonization chamber 13. The leveling operation is over.
[0053] Using the coking coal charging leveling rod and leveling method provided by this invention, when the coal scraper 3 enters with the leveling rod 1, it together with the front end of the leveling rod 1 to push the coal tip flat. During the coal leveling process, the coal scraper 3 contacts the coal bed surface as the leveling rod 1 exits. Until the leveling rod 1 is completely exited from the carbonization chamber for the last time, the coal scraper 3 moves away from the coal bed surface to ensure that the coal bed surface is leveled, while avoiding scraping the coking oven leveling rod doorway during exit.
