Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of blast furnace gravity dust removal, and in particular to a blast furnace gravity dust collector ash unloading system and method. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the metallurgical industry, blast furnace gravity dust collectors are widely used for ash unloading. Blast furnace gravity dust collectors are the first dust removal equipment for raw coal gas from the blast furnace top. The coal gas from the blast furnace top has a fast flow rate and a high dust concentration. The coal gas passes through the downcomer and reaches the gravity dust collector. Most of the dust and particulate matter in the coal gas falls to the bottom of the gravity dust collector under the action of its own gravity. The coal gas with dust and particulate matter removed flows through the bag dust removal system, and the coal gas is finely dusted to obtain clean coal gas. The dust and particulate matter that fall to the bottom of the gravity dust collector are discharged from the bottom of the gravity dust collector. In production practice, this technology has the following deficiencies: 1. Blast furnace gas has complex composition and high toxicity, and there are major safety hazards of gas leakage and dust floating on site; 2. The degree of automation is not perfect. Operators carry gas measuring instruments for on-site operation, manually switch valves, and judge the ash unloading situation by the number of ash unloading trucks, which poses a major accident hazard of waste gas leakage; 3. When the gas concentration is too high, the dust removal and environmental protection pipeline network has no emergency fire-fighting equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing blast furnace gravity dust collector ash unloading system to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a blast furnace gravity dust collector ash unloading system and method to solve the technical problems of on-site gas leakage, dust floating, low degree of automation and safety hazards in the dust removal and environmental protection pipeline network in the traditional blast furnace gravity dust collector ash unloading system.

[0012] S1: Temperature detection. If the temperature detected by the dust temperature sensor is lower than a certain percentage of the normal value of the dusty gas, the ash can be unloaded;

[0013] S2: When unloading ash, first start the humidifying mixer and the ash unloading feeder, adjust the water control valve opening K1, adjust the flow control valve opening S, and then open the ash unloading ball valve;

[0014] S3: According to the detection data, adjust the opening of the water control valve and the flow control valve; if the detection alarm device is triggered, the interlock control closes the ash unloading ball valve, and the interlock control sound and light alarm responds to the alarm to prompt the on-site operators;

[0015] S4: The gas alarm detects the gas volume in the dust removal main pipe. If the gas detection exceeds a certain value, open the nitrogen valve to reduce the gas concentration in the dust removal main pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S2, the detection alarm device includes video monitoring and a second gas detector.

[0035] S1: Temperature detection. When the temperature detected by the dust temperature sensor is lower than a certain percentage of the normal value of the dusty gas, ash unloading can be carried out. Specifically, when the temperature detection is lower than 60% of the normal value (T) of the dusty gas, that is, the detection values ​​of the first temperature sensor 6, the second temperature sensor 7 and the third temperature sensor 8 are T1, T2 and T3 respectively, when T3≤T2≤T1≤60%T, ash unloading begins.
