Description

[0002] Submerged arc furnaces are crucial production equipment in the ferroalloy industry and play an irreplaceable role in smelting ferroalloy products such as silicomanganese, ferrosilicon, ferrochrome, and nickel. In the early days, submerged arc furnaces mainly used the power grid industrial frequency three-phase power supply method after transformer step-down for smelting, mostly in the form of small-capacity and open-type. Limited by the technical level at that time, many problems occurred in the actual application of the traditional submerged arc furnace power supply method, including three-phase imbalance, low power factor, and the resulting harmonic pollution, high smelting energy consumption, and high noise. With the application of DC technology, these problems have been effectively solved, not only balancing the three-phase current, improving the power factor, but also significantly improving the operation efficiency and energy use efficiency of the submerged arc furnace, and making great progress in aspects such as energy conservation, emission reduction, and product quality stability.

The I-beams at the furnace bottom are arranged side by side with 40C I-beams. Multiple temperature measurements are set at the furnace bottom (at the electrode center and the center of the electric furnace). Accordingly, multiple thermocouples are used (two for each point, with one monitoring position being higher and the other being lower). Three maintenance channels are made at the furnace bottom foundation to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the thermocouples. The thermocouples for temperature measurement are of type K and can withstand a temperature of 1000 °C.

[0038] The electrode holder consists of copper shoes, copper pressure rings, water-cooled protection screens, conductive copper pipes, copper shoe suspensions, pressure ring suspensions, lower holding cylinders, water-cooled pipelines, insulation, etc.

[0040] The 36 MVA ferrosilicon manganese all-closed submerged arc DC submerged arc furnace of this embodiment combines the self-baking electrode and the furnace cover sealing design to reduce the oxidation loss of the electrode and reduce the oxygen content on the furnace surface to inhibit the combustion of CO in the furnace.

[0041] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 FIG. is a schematic circuit diagram of a variable voltage rectifier device of a 36 MVA ferrosilicon manganese all-closed submerged arc DC submerged arc furnace provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The input end of the transformer bank 21 is connected to the power supply 20, and the output ends are respectively connected to the first rectifier cabinet 22 and the second rectifier cabinet 23. The first output end of the first rectifier cabinet 22 and the first output end of the second rectifier cabinet 23 are connected to the first electrode 31, and the second output end of the first rectifier cabinet 22 and the second output end of the second rectifier cabinet 23 are connected to the second electrode 32. Among them, the polarities of the first electrode 31 and the second electrode 32 are opposite.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3It is a schematic diagram of the transformer bank of a 36MVA manganese-silicon alloy fully enclosed submerged arc DC submerged arc furnace provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The variable voltage rectifying device 2 includes: a transformer bank 21, a first rectifying cabinet 22, and a second rectifying cabinet 23. The transformer bank 21 includes: a voltage regulating transformer 211, a first rectifying transformer 212, and a second rectifying transformer 213. The input end of the voltage regulating transformer 211 is connected to the power supply 20, the output end of the voltage regulating transformer 211 is connected to the first rectifying transformer 212 and the second rectifying transformer 213, the first rectifying transformer 212 is connected to the first rectifying cabinet 22, and the second rectifying transformer 213 is connected to the second rectifying cabinet 23.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, both the first rectifying cabinet 22 and the second rectifying cabinet 23 include a rectifying circuit, and the number of thyristors on each rectifying arm of the rectifying circuit is determined according to the rated DC current and DC voltage output by the variable voltage rectifying device.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the rectifying circuit is a double reverse star rectifying circuit, and the thyristors arranged on the same rectifying arm have a preset forward volt-ampere characteristic curve.

[0045] The voltage regulating transformer has a three-phase three-column iron core structure, and the rectifying transformer has two three-phase five-column iron core structures with full inclined joints; the iron core assembly is a multi-stage stepped joint, non-punched, and a TENAX polyester tape is used for lashing and a pull plate structure. The iron core clamp has sufficient strength and good clamp insulation. The iron core and the fuel tank adopt an upper and lower double positioning structure, and the iron core is reliably grounded through the clamp to the fuel tank. The iron core material is selected as high-quality cold-rolled grain-oriented silicon steel sheet 30Q120, with a low magnetic density design, so that the product has excellent no-load performance. Low loss performance. The coil is wound tightly, and insulation is added at the wire transposition. Several line segments at the end of the coil are transversely tied to improve the strength of the coil. The pads on the transformer coil are made of high-density cardboard, and the coil adopts a kerosene vapor drying process. When the body is assembled, a hydraulic jack is used to compress the coil so that the coil compression force reaches the designed specified value. The coil adopts a structure of internal and external support bars and is firmly tied with a heat-shrinkable tape. The support bars and pads are arranged vertically and evenly, and auxiliary support bars are added to ensure the stability of the coil and improve the short-circuit resistance ability. The wire insulation is enhanced insulation, and the insulation assembly between windings adopts a thin paper tube + small oil gap + formed hard corner ring structure to improve the insulation strength and mechanical strength.

[0046] The lead connection of the voltage regulating transformer adopts a cold pressing method; its advantages are: 1) There are no welding points inside the transformer, ensuring the cleanliness of the transformer body. 2) The processability is good, and the mechanical force caused by coil vibration can be reduced. 3) The current distribution from the transformer coil to the copper bar is more uniform, reducing the circulating current loss between copper bars.

[0047] The AC busbar outgoing copper bars are led out from the middle lower part on one side in the long axis direction of the transformer, with 12 bars for each core body. The DC busbar outgoing copper bars are led out from the middle cover of the transformer in the long axis direction, adopting a "single-row linear or double-row arranged structure". At the outgoing part of the large-current outgoing terminal, a large-area anti-magnetic stainless steel plate is used for magnetic isolation to reduce eddy current loss.

[0048] For each phase on the output side of the regulating transformer, a set of current transformers for measurement and protection is provided. The secondary current of the current transformer is 5A, and the accuracy of the transformer is 0.5 level. The secondary side terminals of the current transformer are led out to the current transformer terminal box for external wiring.

[0049] The transformer oil tank adopts a bell-type design with a core-free structure. Anti-loosening measures are taken at both the top and bottom of the core body to ensure that the transformer has no displacement and does not require core lifting after arriving at the site. A manhole is provided near the on-load tap-changer on the oil tank for easy installation and maintenance. There are at least two manholes for each transformer, and it is possible to enter the interior of the transformer without lifting the cover. One oil sampling valve is provided at the lower part of the oil tank. A ladder is set on the transformer oil tank, and the position of the ladder is convenient for taking gas samples and observing the gas relay. A manhole is provided at the on-load tap-changer for on-site maintenance. The main material of the oil tank is Q235.

[0050] There are enough number and strength of support points, lifting points and traction points on the transformer oil tank. A sufficiently large drain valve is provided at the lower part of the transformer oil tank. 90° track rollers are set on the transformer. A traction device is provided at the lower part of the oil tank. The transformer conservator adopts a capsule structure, completely isolating the transformer oil from the air. The conservator is equipped with a pointer-type oil level gauge with a live contact output; an oil filling valve, a gas release valve, a breather, a butterfly valve, etc. are also provided. The breather is installed at a position where it is easy to operate and replace the silica gel. There is a special butterfly valve between the conservator and the oil tank for easy disassembly and assembly. Its volume ensures that the oil does not overflow under the full load state at the highest ambient temperature of 40°C, and there is enough oil in the conservator when it is not put into operation at -15°C.

[0051] The transformer is equipped with a stainless steel control terminal box to collect the above protection signals. A cable connection is used between the control signal and the terminal box. There is a gap between the signal terminals and between the positive and negative terminals, and there is more than 15% spare capacity for the control terminals. The incoming line bushing of the transformer adopts an anti-pollution type bushing, fully considering the environmental pollution of slightly conductive dust in the air.

[0052] In a specific embodiment, the regulating transformer 211 includes: an on-load tap-changer, and the on-load tap-changer has a gear controller 4, and the gear controller is used to control the output voltage of the regulating transformer.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4It is a schematic diagram of the switch control of a 36MVA manganese-silicon alloy fully enclosed submerged arc DC submerged arc furnace provided by an embodiment of the present invention. It further includes a control signal generator 5, and the control signal generator 5 is connected to the matrix switch 6. The matrix switch 6 is respectively connected to a plurality of gear controllers 4, a main and standby controller 7, a remote controller 8, and a current feedback controller 9;

[0054] The matrix switch 6 is configured to receive a control signal with a preset coding rule, so as to control the corresponding switch to be turned on or off according to the control signal with the preset coding rule. Among them, the control signal with the preset coding rule includes: a signal type field, a linkage field, and a control adjustment field.

[0055] It should be noted that for the large-scale manganese-silicon alloy fully enclosed submerged arc DC submerged arc furnace of this embodiment, the workshop floor area is at least 20,000 square meters, and the distance between different devices is relatively large, and they are even located on different floors. In most control scenarios, generally, different devices need to be controlled in a coordinated manner, rather than simply controlling a single node or a single device. In non-emergency situations, the general requirement for the control time accuracy is relatively low. Within the equipment delay and safety control time, the remote control method is generally adopted. However, in scenarios such as when the equipment fails or equipment switching, shutdown, etc. are required, due to the problems of high delay and long trigger logic in the remote control method, precise control cannot be performed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control is performed through a matrix switch, and by setting the corresponding control fields, the controllable range of the switch matrix is improved.

[0056] Specifically, the signal type field represents the specific device connected to the switch matrix. It should be noted that since the switch matrix may be connected to multiple devices of the same type, therefore, this signal type field is also required to distinguish devices of the same type. The linkage field represents that after the current control device is completed, the next or the next few control devices associated with the control device are automatically controlled, so as to achieve seamless control. The control adjustment field represents the specific control method, such as which switch circuit in the switch matrix is disconnected or closed, so as to control the corresponding plurality of gear controllers, main and standby controllers, remote controllers, and current feedback controllers to act. It should be noted that the control devices connected to the switch matrix can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and are not limited to the above types.

[0057] In a preferred scenario, when performing the action corresponding to the linkage field, the control signal generator is further configured to generate a control signal with a preset coding rule for linkage execution according to the action corresponding to the linkage field. When the action corresponding to the linkage field is executed normally, the control signal with the preset coding rule for linkage execution is only stored and does not trigger an action. When the action corresponding to the linkage field is executed abnormally, the control signal with the preset coding rule for linkage execution is called to be executed again. That is to say, the control signal with the preset coding rule for linkage execution is not substantially generated by an external input signal, but an internally preset execution logic. Therefore, during the execution of the linkage field, if an external control signal is received, the external control signal is preferentially executed. Correspondingly, the control signal with the preset coding rule may further include a field for distinguishing the external control signal and the internally generated signal, so that when the external control signal conflicts with the internally generated signal, the external control signal is preferentially executed.

[0058] It should be noted that since the linkage field may be associated with the next or the next few control devices, after each linkage execution is completed, the linkage field is correspondingly adjusted to make the front and back logic of the linkage control consistent.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is a schematic diagram of the switch control of another 36MVA manganese-silicon alloy fully enclosed submerged arc DC submerged arc furnace provided by the embodiment of the present invention. At least a part of the switch nodes of the matrix switch 6 are further connected to the delay circuit 10, and the output end of the at least a part of the switch nodes is connected to the gear controller 4. The control signal with the preset coding rule further includes a delay signal trigger field;

[0060] The control signal generator is further configured to set the signal type field to a field for controlling the gear controller and set the linkage field to a field for controlling the remote controller when it is determined that the thyristor control angle is less than the preset angle.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the matrix switch is further configured to control the corresponding delay circuit to be enabled when it is determined that the delay signal trigger field in the control signal with the preset coding rule is not empty.

[0062] In some scenarios that require delayed triggering, although the delayed instruction can be triggered through software control, for example, triggering a signal after a 50-second delay, in cases where high controllability is required, if there are conflicts in instruction execution, it may lead to control failure. Moreover, since the matrix switch in this embodiment interconnects multiple controlled devices, the more complex the execution logic, the worse the controllability. Therefore, an additional delay circuit is used for time delay control to avoid the influence of software logic confusion. The delay circuit of this application can be separately provided with an enable switch, which is turned on when enabling is required. After a certain delay circuit is turned on, the next time the path where the delay switch is located receives a control signal, the delay circuit triggers a delay signal by itself. During the delay stage, even if other types of control signals are received on this path, the control will not be triggered until the delay time ends and the control signal before the delay time is responded to.

[0063] In an example, when it is determined that the thyristor control angle is less than a preset angle (for example, the control angle is less than 0°), it indicates that there may be a voltage fault in the system. At this time, the signal type field is set to the field for controlling the gear controller. Since the control angle is less than 0°, time delay control is required during voltage regulation. Then, the delay circuit of the path where the gear controller is located is turned on by triggering the field with a delay signal. For example, after a 60-second delay, after the control action is completed, if on-site fault troubleshooting or alarm troubleshooting is required by relevant technical personnel, the remote controller is turned off through the linkage field and no longer receives remote control instructions to avoid control conflicts. The remote control instruction refers to the instruction received through the control signal generator, which can be, for example, a control instruction sent through the backend control network or an instruction generated by the control signal generator.

[0064] In a specific embodiment, a DC current sensor is provided at the output end of the variable voltage rectifier device, and current transformers are provided at the input ends of the first rectifier transformer and the second rectifier transformer. The DC current sensor and the current transformers are both connected to the control signal generator;

[0065] The control signal generator is further configured to, when it is determined that the feedback signal of the DC current sensor is lost or the feedback signal of the current transformer is lost, set the signal type field to the field for controlling the current feedback controller, and set the linkage field to the field for controlling the remote controller. In this embodiment, the feedback signals of the DC current sensor and the current transformers are used as the basis for judging the magnitude of the output current fluctuation by taking each other as the primary and backup. If one of the feedback signals is lost, switching and adjustment need to be performed through the field for controlling the current feedback controller. Similarly, if on-site fault troubleshooting or alarm troubleshooting is required by relevant technical personnel, the remote controller is turned off through the linkage field and no longer receives remote control instructions to avoid control conflicts.

[0066] The 36MVA ferrosilicon manganese fully enclosed submerged arc DC submerged arc furnace of this embodiment can accurately control the opening or closing of corresponding switches by receiving control signals with a preset coding rule through the combined use of a control signal generator and a matrix switch, realizing stable control of devices such as a gear controller, a main and standby controller, a remote controller, and a current feedback controller, and achieving seamless connection control of corresponding controllers through linkage fields, improving the controllability in case of faults.
