Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of blast furnace use, and in particular to a new operation method for replacing two sets of tuyere in a blast furnace. Background Art
[0002] As the core equipment of modern steelmaking, the stable operation of blast furnace is directly related to the efficiency and safety of ironmaking production. In the main structure of blast furnace, the tuyere device is the key transmission system connecting the hot air ring pipe and the furnace. The second set of tuyere is the core component of the device, which is subjected to the erosion of high-temperature molten iron, slag and 2000m 3 / min or more ultra-high hot air flow. This key component usually adopts a copper water-cooling structure design, with a high working environment temperature, and also needs to cope with the mechanical wear caused by the falling of raw materials in the furnace.
[0003] In the actual production process, due to thermal stress deformation, blockage of cooling water channels, shedding of refractory materials and other reasons, the second set of tuyere generally has problems such as front end burning, inner wall nodules, flange deformation, etc., with a short average service life, making it a key maintenance target for blast furnace shutdown and maintenance.
[0004] The traditional replacement process mainly adopts a combination of thermal cutting and mechanical vibration. The specific process includes: first, use oxygen to burn and cut the front end of the second set of tuyere in sections. Secondly, use vibration to remove the second set.
[0005] Single replacement is time-consuming, and more seriously, it will produce residues and residual iron, which are difficult to clean. The metal slag remaining inside the furnace body is easy to react chemically with the refractory material in the furnace to form a low-melting point eutectic, which reduces the service life of the ceramic cup in the furnace. And too much residue is not friendly to the environment. Summary of the invention
[0006] The core of the present invention is to improve replacement efficiency, reduce labor intensity and reduce environmental pollution.
[0007] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The present invention is a new operation method for replacing two sets of tuyere in a blast furnace, comprising the following steps:
[0008] Step 1: Prepare a tool cart and place a large hook, a jack, a small hook, a steel chisel and a sledgehammer on the tool cart;
[0009] Step 2: Organize 8-12 construction workers and divide them into two groups, namely the replacement group and the sealing and removal group;
[0010] Step 3: Develop and arrange the maintenance schedule in advance, and the construction personnel must master and memorize the work process and schedule;
[0011] Step 4: After the blast furnace is shut down, remove the three sets of direct blowing pipes and tuyere, and block the front end with mud;
[0012] Step 5: Use the air stop mud to seal the hole behind the air vent to prevent the coke from collapsing when the second set is withdrawn;
[0013] Step 6: Remove the four ejector rods from the second set, cut off the sealing ring, and remove the baffle;
[0014] Step 7: Use a large hook and a jack to push out the second set through the effect of thermal expansion and contraction;
[0015] Step 8. After the second set is pulled out, clean the inside and check the contact surface of the large set to ensure that the new second set can be installed smoothly;
[0016] Step nine: Install the two new sets in place, ensuring they are tight. If necessary, apply windshield putty on the front outer edge.
[0017] Furthermore, the construction workers in step 2 must be professional users and must wear work clothes, safety helmets, work shoes, and work badges in accordance with regulations.
[0018] Furthermore, after the construction workers are required to memorize the content in step three, considering safety issues, professional personnel are required to conduct random inspections on the results of the construction workers' learning, and those who fail to meet the requirements cannot continue with the next work.
[0019] Furthermore, the step six also requires removing two sets of water inlet and outlet pipes and short pipes.
[0020] The beneficial effects achieved by the present invention using the above structure are as follows:
[0021] 1. During the regular maintenance and overhaul of the blast furnace, it is necessary to replace the damaged or deformed tuyere sets. This technology provides a more efficient and environmentally friendly way to perform this operation. All types of blast furnaces can adopt this method under the conditions, which means that this technology has a wide range of applicability.
[0022] 2. Although this technology is designed for the replacement of the second set of blast furnace tuyere, its core principles (such as utilizing the thermal expansion and contraction effects) may also be applicable to other industrial processes requiring similar operations.
[0023] In general, the application areas of this invention focus on improving the efficiency and safety of blast furnace operations while reducing the impact on the environment, which is very important for the ironmaking industry. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
