[0027] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 2 The present invention discloses a high-proportion circulating flue gas distribution device with stepped air distribution and graded oxygen supplementation, comprising:

[0034] The circulating flue gas distribution main pipe 1 is arranged parallel to the length direction of the sintering machine and is located above one side of the sintering machine. The flue gas sealing cover 3 covers the top of the sintering machine.

[0035] The present invention adopts a stepped arrangement of a variable diameter structure according to the different air volume requirements and oxygen demand requirements of various parts of the circulating flue gas distribution main pipe 1, so as to realize the stepped distribution of the circulating flue gas air volume, realize the on-demand distribution of the circulating flue gas on the sintering material surface, and effectively increase the circulating flue gas ratio to more than 35%. An oxygen supply device is added to the circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 that needs oxygen supply, so as to supply oxygen to the corresponding circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 according to the actual oxygen content demand, so as to realize graded oxygen supply in the high-ratio flue gas circulation process, overcome the limitation of the flue gas circulation oxygen content on the circulation rate and the adverse effect on production, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0036] To further optimize the solution, an oxygen supply device is provided in the circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 within the end 1 / 3 length range of the circulating flue gas distribution main pipe 1 along the direction of flue gas movement.

[0037] A further optimization scheme is provided, the oxygen supply device comprises an oxygen supply gas branch pipe 5, the oxygen supply gas branch pipe 5 is located below the corresponding circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2, the oxygen supply gas branch pipe 5 is obliquely inserted upward into the middle part of the corresponding circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2, the gas outlet end of the oxygen supply gas branch pipe 5 is connected with the corresponding circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2, the gas outlet end of the oxygen supply gas branch pipe 5 is arranged close to the flue gas sealing cover 3, the gas inlet end of the oxygen supply gas branch pipe 5 is arranged close to the circulating flue gas distribution main pipe 1, and the gas inlet ends of several oxygen supply gas branch pipes 5 are connected with the gas outlet end of the oxygen supply device.

[0038] To further optimize the solution, a conical guide device 6 is provided in the middle of the inner side of the circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 , the tip of the conical guide device 6 is arranged toward the flue gas sealing cover 3 , and the outlet end of the oxygen supplementary gas branch pipe 5 is arranged toward the side wall of the conical guide device 6 .

[0039] According to a further optimization scheme, the oxygen supply device includes an oxygen-supplementing gas main pipe 4, a side wall of which is connected to the air inlet ends of a plurality of oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipes 5, and a regulating part for regulating the oxygen flow is provided between the oxygen-supplementing gas main pipe 4 and the oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipes 5.

[0040] To further optimize the solution, the regulating part includes an oxygen-supplementing gas inlet regulating valve 7, one end of the oxygen-supplementing gas inlet regulating valve 7 is connected to the side wall of the oxygen-supplementing gas main pipe 4, and the other end of the oxygen-supplementing gas inlet regulating valve 7 is connected to the air inlet end of the oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipe 5.

[0041] According to a further optimization scheme, the oxygen supplement gas inlet regulating valve 7 is a regulating single-plate valve, a butterfly valve or a plug-in valve.

[0042] In order to solve the problem of low oxygen and large air volume in high-ratio circulation, we systematically studied the air volume distribution and oxygen demand on the surface of the sintering material layer. We found that along the length of the sintering machine, due to different sintering stages, there are obvious differences in the permeability of the material layer and the demand for oxygen content is also different.

[0043] The first 1 / 3 of the length of the sintering machine is the initial stage of sintering. The sintering reaction mainly occurs on the surface of the material layer. The combustion is fragile, the oxygen demand is high and the air volume demand is low. Therefore, the circulating flue gas oxygen content needs to be above 18%, and the air volume is about 50% of the average air volume.

[0044] The middle 1 / 3-2 / 3 length of the sintering machine is the sintering stable stage. The sintering reaction mainly occurs in the middle of the material layer. Due to the existence of the combustion layer and the over-humidified layer, the air permeability of the material layer is poor, but the combustion is relatively stable. The air volume and oxygen demand are low. The oxygen content of the circulating flue gas is above 16%, and the air volume is 50%-100% of the average air volume.

[0045] The rear 2 / 3-1 length of the sintering machine is the end stage of sintering. The sintering reaction mainly occurs at the bottom of the material layer. At this time, the over-wet layer and the original material layer disappear, the permeability of the material layer improves, the combustion reaction ends, the oxygen demand is the lowest, the air volume demand is relatively high, the circulating flue gas oxygen content is above 10%, and the air volume is 100%-150% of the average air volume.

[0046] Based on the above findings, we set the circulating flue gas distribution main pipe 1 as a variable diameter structure to achieve preliminary air volume distribution according to the different air volume requirements in each stage, and added an oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipe 5 to the circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 connected within the 1 / 3 length range of the front part of the sintering machine. An oxygen-supplementing gas inlet regulating valve 7 was installed at the inlet of the oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipe 5 to control the oxygen-supplementing gas flow rate. The oxygen-supplementing gas is quantitatively distributed directly in the circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 at the outlet of the oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipe 5 to achieve step-by-step oxygen supply.

[0047] A conical flow guide device 6 is arranged in the circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 at the outlet of the oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipe 5 to adjust the ratio of the circulating flue gas and the oxygen-supplementing gas, so as to realize high oxygen content and low air volume sintering. The conical flow guide device 6 can effectively adjust the circulating air volume and guide the oxygen-supplementing gas. The conical flow guide device 6 arranged at the outlet of the oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipe 5 has a cone top pointing to the circulating flue gas airflow direction, and the bottom facing the airflow direction. When the circulating flue gas volume increases, the bottom windward area is large, and the air volume of the circulating flue gas entering the flue gas sealing cover 3 can be effectively reduced by turbulence. According to the principle of pipeline interconnection, the excess circulating flue gas is automatically distributed into the circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 that is not equipped with the conical flow guide device 6, that is, the circulating flue gas distribution branch pipe 2 with high air volume demand at the tail of the machine, thereby realizing automatic distribution of flue gas under large air volume. The outlet end of the oxygen-supplementing gas branch pipe 5 is directly opposite to the side of the conical flow guide device. The oxygen-supplementing gas is guided by the side angle of the flow guide device, and the airflow is more convenient to merge into the main flow direction of the circulating flue gas, avoiding the turbulence caused by the mixing of the two airflows, thereby avoiding pipeline vibration and wear. By combining the use of new flue gas distribution branches and traditional variable-diameter distribution structures, stepped air distribution and graded oxygen supply can be achieved in the length direction of the sintering machine, matching the sintering air and oxygen requirements as needed, thereby increasing the flue gas circulation ratio to more than 35%, and effectively avoiding flue gas overflow without affecting sintering production.
