[0032] The following examples are implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following examples. The methods used in the following examples are conventional methods unless otherwise specified.

[0033] [Example 1]

[0034] See Figure 1The blast furnace tuyere water supply pipe is arranged in a ring along the furnace body, and 30 tuyere water supply branches and drainage branches are evenly distributed. During normal production, the water supply pressure is 1.6 MPa, the water volume of each tuyere water supply pipe is 35 m3 / h, and the total water volume is 1050 m3 / h. In order to ensure safe and continuous production, the tuyere water system is equipped with security water. When the blast furnace is shut down for maintenance, the tuyere heat load is reduced, the tuyere water pump is stopped, and security water is used to supply water to maintain production. By installing pipes and valves, the water supply pressure is 0.5 MPa, and the total water volume of the tuyere water supply pipe is 35 m3 / h, which reduces energy consumption.

[0035] During normal production, 1#, 3#, 4#, 6#, 9#, 10#, 11#, 12# electric-controlled valves are opened, and 2#, 5#, 7#, 8#, 13# electric-controlled valves are closed; after the wind is stopped, the 1# air outlet water is used as the main water supply branch pipeline, and the 1#, 3#, 4#, 10#, 11# electric-controlled valves remain open, and the 5#, 8#, 7#, 13# electric-controlled valves are opened in turn, among which the 7# electric-controlled valve is a flow regulating valve to adjust the water supply flow; each air outlet water supply enclosure pipe is implemented according to this rule, after reaching the 30# air outlet, the 15#, 17#, 2# electric-controlled valves remain closed (to avoid water dispersion), the 14#, 18#, 19# electric-controlled valves remain open, and the 6#, 12# electric-controlled valves of the 1#-29# air outlets and the 9#, 16# electric-controlled valves of the 2#-30# air outlets are gradually closed, and the drainage water volume, water pressure and temperature of the 30# air outlet are observed.

[0036] When a single branch pipe of the air outlet is blocked, the water flow direction is opposite to that in energy-saving mode. Through valve control, the water supply of the adjacent air outlet is connected to the drainage of this air outlet, and the water flows up to the water supply of this air outlet. Now the water supply of this air outlet is in a closed state. Remove the soft connection of the water inlet from the air outlet to drain the water, form a passage, and use high-pressure water to dredge the pipeline. You can also drain the water through another passage of the three-way valve.

[0037] After the wind break is over, first open the 6# and 12# electric-controlled valves of the 1-29# air outlets, and the 9# and 16# electric-controlled valves of the 2#-30# air outlets, and then close the 5#, 7#, 8#, 2#, 17#, and 15# electric-controlled valves, observe the drainage water volume, water pressure, and temperature of each air outlet, and then start the air outlet water pump to resume normal production.

[0038] In order to reduce labor intensity and safety risks, the electronically controlled valve uses an electric valve and is operated next to the machine.

[0039] The present invention increases a regulating branch pipe and increases an electric-controlled valve 46 on each drainage branch pipe. The electric-controlled valve is used to facilitate operators to manually adjust the valve opening on the HMI human-machine interaction screen, without the need to manually open the valve on site, thereby reducing labor intensity. When it is necessary to perform water outage or water supply operations, the valve is used to control water. The output end of the regulating valve 17 is provided with an electric-controlled valve 15, and the input end of the regulating valve 17 is provided with an electric-controlled valve 2. When the valve 17 is damaged, the electric-controlled valve 15 and the regulating valve 2 can be closed, and the regulating valve 17 can be replaced online without affecting production. When in the wind-off state, the air outlet does not need strong cooling, and all air outlets are connected in series with water. The two tuyere water pipes are connected together, and only the flow of one tuyere water supply pipe is needed to meet the cooling needs of all tuyere water pipes; when a single tuyere pipe is blocked, the tuyere water pipe of the present invention can be used, and the water flow direction is opposite to that in energy-saving mode, and the water supply of the adjacent tuyere is connected to the drainage of the present tuyere through valve control, and the water flow is topped up to the water supply of the present tuyere. Now the water supply of the present tuyere is in a closed state, and the water inlet soft connection of the tuyere is removed to drain the water, forming a passage, and the pipeline is dredged with high-pressure water, and the water can also be drained through another passage of the three-way valve. The structure is simple, and the operation is portable, and the problem of reduced heat load and reduced cooling intensity when the blast furnace is shut down is solved.
