Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an apparatus for refractory material lining in converters, and particularly to an apparatus for converter lining, belonging to the technical field of converter lining equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The converter tower is a key piece of equipment for converter repair operations. It mainly consists of a tower trolley, material carts, the tower body, a hoisting chute, and a construction platform. The tower body is primarily composed of four square columns, forming the main body of the construction device and connecting other functional components such as the hoisting chute, hoisting device, construction platform, and construction platform lifting device. Internally, it forms a channel for air supply and ventilation within the converter. The hoisting chute, located inside the tower, moves vertically along the tower's axis and is primarily used for material transport. The annular construction platform, attached to the outside of the tower body, is a variable-diameter operating platform that adjusts according to the converter's internal diameter. Moving vertically along the tower's axis, it serves as a material storage platform and is the primary platform for operations within the converter.

[0003] The square hoisting hopper is located inside the tower, its size determined by the inscribed circle formed by the tower. The annular construction platform is located outside, its size determined by the circumscribed circle formed by the tower. Currently, major steel plants in China design their converter construction platforms by reducing the external dimensions of the tower. This reduces the working area of ​​the hoisting hopper, increases the number of movements required for transporting personnel and materials, and affects the converter construction time.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN110259091A discloses a foldable operating platform that uses 12 approximately triangular storage spaces formed between the connecting columns of the folding arm to house the folding arm. In effect, this reduces the size of the middle hoisting compartment. For large furnace wall bricks, multiple up-and-down transports are required, which is inefficient and cannot meet the requirements of converter furnace construction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for converter furnace construction, which mainly solves the technical problems of existing converter furnace construction operation platforms having single function, low operation efficiency, and unsafe operation; this invention has efficient and safe furnace construction function, and meets the operation requirements within the limited space of the converter furnace body.

[0006] The technical concept of this invention is to adopt an independent dual lifting mechanism. The hoisting device drives the hoisting car inside the tower to rise and fall vertically inside the tower. The folding platform driving device drives the folding platform to rise and fall vertically on the outer surface of the tower along the guide rail provided on the outer side of the tower. By adjusting the extension state of the first sub-arc support, the second sub-arc support, and the third sub-arc support of the folding platform arc support unit, the diameter of the folding platform is dynamically adjusted to meet the space requirements of the converter furnace construction operation surface.

[0007] The technical solution of this invention is a device for converter furnace construction, comprising a tower body and a folding platform. The tower body is a rectangular truss beam structure, with a hoisting cabin inside. A hoisting device is fixedly connected to the inner side of the upper part of the tower body. A guide rail for vertically lifting the folding platform is provided on the outer surface of the tower body. The folding platform comprises a support body, a folding device, and a folding platform lifting device, which is fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper part of the tower body.

The workers enter the support body of the folding platform from the hoisting car and unfold the first sub-arc support, the second sub-arc support, and the third sub-arc support of the arc support unit of the folding device in sequence. The corresponding tie rods are installed on the arc support unit. The box-shaped cover plate is covered on the arc support unit and the tie rods to build up the working platform.

[0011] During the converter furnace construction operation, the diameter of the folding platform is dynamically adjusted by adjusting the extension state of the first, second, and third sub-arc supports of the arc support unit to meet the space requirements of the converter furnace construction operation surface.

[0012] The folding platform of the device of the present invention has four platform sizes, which maximizes the space area of ​​the hoisting chamber and meets the needs of converter furnace construction.

[0013] When the folding platform of the device of the present invention is at its smallest size, the folding device is folded and stored in the cavity on the support body for storing the folding device.

[0014] When the converter furnace mouth is being constructed, the first sub-arc support of the folding device arc support unit is in an extended state, while the second sub-arc support and the second sub-arc support of the folding device arc support unit are in a retracted state.

[0015] When the converter bottom is being constructed, the first and second sub-arc supports of the folding device arc support unit are in an extended state, while the third sub-arc support of the folding device arc support unit is in a retracted state.
