[0030] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 This invention provides a hot blast stove system for a blast furnace. The blast furnace includes blast furnace I1 and blast furnace II2, and the hot blast stove system includes hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4. Both hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4 include three hot blast stoves. The three hot blast stoves in hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4 adopt a "two-burn-one-send" mode. When all three hot blast stoves in hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4 are working normally without any faults, hot blast is supplied to the corresponding blast furnace I1 and blast furnace II2 through hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4 respectively.
[0032] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The hot blast stove system also includes an auxiliary hot blast stove 5, which is a Kalugin top-fired hot blast stove. When a hot blast stove in hot blast stove group I3 or hot blast stove group II4 has a problem and needs to be repaired, the auxiliary hot blast stove 5 is put into use as a backup stove. Therefore, by setting up the auxiliary hot blast stove 5, each blast furnace can still be equipped with three hot blast stoves to ensure that hot blast can be continuously delivered into the blast furnace.
[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The hot blast stove system also includes a gas pipe 6, an air pipe 7, a hot air pipe 8, an air inlet pipe 9, and a flue gas pipe 10, which are respectively connected to the auxiliary hot blast stove 5; the gas pipe 6, the flue gas pipe 10, the air pipe 7, the hot air pipe 8, and the air inlet pipe 9 are all three-way pipes, and one of the pipes in each three-way pipe is connected to the auxiliary hot blast stove 5.
[0034] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The other two pipes in gas pipe 6 are connected to the main gas pipes of hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4, respectively. Each of the other two pipes in gas pipe 6 is equipped with a butterfly valve 11, which is used to control the switching of gas. The other two pipes in air pipe 7 are connected to the main air pipes of hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4, respectively. Each of the other two pipes in air pipe 7 is equipped with a switch valve 13, which is used to control the switching of combustion air. The other two pipes in flue gas pipe 10 are connected to the main flue gas pipes of hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4, respectively. Each pipe is also equipped with a switch valve 13, which is used to control the switching of flue gas; the other two pipes in the air inlet pipe 9 are respectively connected to the main air inlet pipes of hot blast stove group I3 and hot blast stove group II4. The pipe in the air inlet pipe 9 connected to the auxiliary hot blast stove 5 is equipped with a wind control valve I14, and the other two pipes in the air inlet pipe 9 are respectively equipped with a wind control valve II15; through this structure, the auxiliary hot blast stove 5 can share the same main gas pipe, main combustion air pipe, main flue gas exhaust pipe and main air inlet pipe with hot blast stove group I3 or hot blast stove group II4, making full use of existing resources and reducing manufacturing costs.
[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5Two other pipes in the hot air duct 8 are connected to the hot air main pipes of blast furnace I1 and blast furnace II2, respectively. Hot air valve 16 and vent valve 17 are respectively installed on the other two pipes in the hot air duct 8. Both hot air valve 16 and vent valve 17 are gate valves. The valve plates of the hot air valve 16 on the two pipes are mirror images of each other. Heat-resistant sealing elements are provided on the valve plates of air control valve II15 and hot air valve 16 to improve the sealing performance of the valve plates. A pressure control component 18 is installed on the pipe between hot air valve 16 and vent valve 17. The pressure control component 18 includes a pressure control pipe 181 and a pressure control valve 182 installed on the pressure control pipe 181.
[0036] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The air intake duct 9 has two air control valves II 15 on two other ducts. The two air control valves II 15 are butterfly valves, and the valve plates of the two air control valves II 15 are also mirrored. An exhaust duct 19 is provided between the two air control valves II 15, and an exhaust valve 20 is provided on the exhaust duct 19. It also includes a pressure stabilizing component, which includes a pressure stabilizing pipe and a pressure stabilizing valve provided on the pressure stabilizing pipe. The two ends of the pressure stabilizing pipe are respectively connected to one of the ducts in the air intake duct 9 and are located on the upper and lower sides of the air control valve I 14. The diameter of the pressure stabilizing pipe is smaller than the diameter of the air intake duct 9.
[0037] refer to Figures 1-6 When one of the hot blast stoves in hot blast stove group I3 or hot blast stove group II4 fails, the auxiliary hot blast stove 5 will be put into use to replace the faulty hot blast stove and the faulty hot blast stove will be repaired. In this example, the auxiliary hot blast stove 5 will be put into use to replace the faulty hot blast stove when one of the hot blast stoves in hot blast stove group I3 fails.
[0038] Before auxiliary hot blast stove 5 sends hot blast into the blast furnace:
[0039] First, open the switch valve 13 on the gas pipeline 6 connected to the main gas pipeline in the hot blast stove group I3, and at the same time open the switch valve 13 on the air pipeline 7 connected to the main combustion air pipeline in the hot blast stove group I3. Gas and air are then introduced into the combustion chamber of the auxiliary hot blast stove 5 through the gas pipeline 6 and the air pipeline 7 for complete combustion and to generate a large amount of heat. The heat is used to heat the heat storage checker bricks in the auxiliary hot blast stove 5 so that the temperature of the heat storage checker bricks reaches the predetermined temperature.
[0040] When auxiliary hot blast stove 5 sends hot blast into the blast furnace:
[0041] After high-temperature heating, the furnace temperature of the auxiliary hot air furnace 5 is high and the furnace pressure is low. Before a large amount of cold air is injected into the furnace, the furnace pressure needs to be adjusted. At this time, the pressure is stabilized by a pressure stabilizer.
[0042] During pressure stabilization, first close the air control valve I14 on the air inlet pipe 9. Then, exhaust air is drawn out through the exhaust pipe 19 connected to the hot blast furnace group II4, at which time the pressure in this pipe decreases. Then, air is introduced into the exhaust pipe 19 connected to the hot blast furnace group I3, increasing the pressure in this pipe. Under the action of greater pressure, the air control valve II15 on this pipe can be easily opened. Then, the cold air in the main air inlet pipe 9 of the hot blast furnace group I3 enters this pipe and enters the auxiliary hot blast furnace 5 through the pressure stabilization pipe. Air is continuously supplied into the furnace through the pressure stabilization pipe until the pressure in the furnace reaches the set pressure. Then, the air control valve I14 is opened and the pressure stabilization valve is closed. A large amount of cold air enters the auxiliary hot blast furnace 5 and is heated by the heat storage checker bricks to the set temperature. Then, it is discharged through the hot air pipe 8.
[0043] When air is introduced into the auxiliary hot blast furnace 5, the pressure between the two air control valves II15 is relatively high. The pressure inside the pipe connected to the hot blast furnace group II4 is relatively low due to the air being drawn out by the exhaust pipe 19. Under the action of the pressure difference, the air control valve II15 on the pipe connected to the hot blast furnace group II4 is sealed more tightly, and there will be no air leakage.
[0044] During the discharge process of hot air duct 8, hot air is present in the hot air duct 8 between hot air valve 16 and auxiliary hot air stove 5. The pipe pressure in this section of hot air duct 8 is relatively low. At this time, in order to ensure that the hot air flows to blast furnace I1, the pressure control pipe 181 set on the pipe connected to hot air stove group II4 is used to pressurize the pipe, thereby increasing the pressure in the pipe. Under the action of pressure difference, the hot air valve 16 on the pipe is sealed more tightly, and there will be no air leakage. At the same time, the pressure control pipe 181 set on the pipe connected to hot air stove group I3 exhausts the air, thereby reducing the pressure in the pipe. Under the action of pressure difference, the hot air valve 16 on the pipe can be opened easily, and the hot air flows into blast furnace I1 through this pipe.
[0045] refer to Figure 5 Each pipe of the hot air duct 8 is equipped with a corrugated pipe 22. When hot air flows through the hot air duct 8 to the blast furnace, the hot air duct 8 is prone to expansion and elongation after being heated by high temperature. The corrugated pipe 22 can play a buffering role to prevent the hot air duct 8 from exploding at high temperature.
[0046] refer to Figure 5The hot air valve 16 and the vent valve 17 are also equipped with cooling components (not shown in the figure) for cooling. When hot air flows from the hot air duct 8, the temperature of the hot air valve 16 and the vent valve 17 is high. If the hot air valve 16 and the vent valve 17 work at high temperature for a long time, they are prone to damage. At this time, the cooling components can cool down the hot air valve 16 and the vent valve 17 to prevent them from being damaged by high temperature. The cooling components are made by arranging multiple cooling water pipes around the valve seat and supplying cooling water into the cooling water pipes. The cooling water absorbs heat to achieve the purpose of cooling down the high temperature of the hot air valve 16 and the vent valve 17.
[0047] In summary: By setting up auxiliary hot blast stove 5, when one of the hot blast stoves in hot blast stove group I3 or hot blast stove group II4 malfunctions and needs maintenance, auxiliary hot blast stove 5 can be put into use as a backup stove, ensuring that each blast furnace is still equipped with three hot blast stoves, thus ensuring that the hot blast temperature of the blast furnace is not affected by the maintenance of the hot blast stoves, improving production efficiency and reducing costs; by setting hot blast valves 16 on two other pipes of hot blast duct 8, with the valve plates inside the two hot blast valves 16 mirrored, and by setting pressure control components 18 on two other pipes of hot blast duct 8, when hot blast is supplied to the blast furnace, the pressure in the pipe is adjusted by the pressure control components 18, and the hot blast valves 16 are sealed more tightly under the action of pressure difference, so that there will be no air leakage.

Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly.
