[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] As Figures 1-4 shown, a steelmaking raw material grinding and powder feeding system includes a high-level silo receiving hopper 1, a vertical shaft mill 3, a bag dust collector 4, a storage silo 8, a pressure tank 13 and a system mounting frame 18.

[0028] The high-level silo receiving hopper 1 is fixed at the topmost of the system mounting frame 18, and a bar gate valve 2 is provided at the discharge port of the high-level silo receiving hopper 1 for controlling the material entering the next equipment.

[0029] The discharge port of the high-level silo receiving hopper 1 is connected to the feed port of the vertical shaft mill 3. The vertical shaft mill 3, as a grinding equipment, has the characteristics of high efficiency, low power consumption and smaller floor area. Moreover, the vertical shaft mill 3 has a downward cyclone design, which can effectively avoid dust raising at the feed port, with less dust and no pollution to the environment.

[0030] A storage silo 8 is provided below the vertical shaft mill 3. A first valve group 5 is provided between the vertical shaft mill 3 and the storage silo 8. The first valve group 5 includes a pneumatic slide valve and a pneumatic butterfly valve. The pneumatic slide valve is arranged at the discharge port of the vertical shaft mill 3, and the pneumatic butterfly valve is arranged at the feed port of the storage silo 8. The pneumatic slide valve and the pneumatic butterfly valve are flexibly connected.

[0031] The storage silo 8 is also connected to the bag dust collector 4. The bag dust collector 4 and the vertical shaft mill 3 are at the same height of the system mounting frame 18. A second valve group 6 is provided between the bag dust collector 4 and the storage silo 8. The second valve group 6 includes a pneumatic slide valve and a pneumatic butterfly valve. The pneumatic slide valve is arranged at the inlet of the bag dust collector 4, and the pneumatic butterfly valve is arranged at the outlet above the storage silo 8. The pneumatic slide valve and the pneumatic butterfly valve are flexibly connected. In this application, the dust removal is raised to the height of the mill and is flexibly connected to the storage silo 8 to avoid affecting weighing.

[0032] The lower part of the storage bin 8 is conical. A vibration motor 10 and an arch-breaking air butterfly valve 11 are installed on the conical bin wall. Through the vibration action of the vibration motor 10 and the two actions of vibration and air blowing of the arch-breaking air butterfly valve 11, the powder materials in the storage bin 8 can be effectively promoted to flow downward.

[0033] Outside the storage bin 8 of the present application, a first weighing device 9 for weighing the weight of the storage bin 8 is further provided. The first weighing device 9 is arranged on the system mounting frame 18, and the weight data of the materials is obtained by calculating the difference between the total weight of the materials + the storage bin and the empty storage bin. Nitrogen is also introduced into the storage bin 8, and a safety valve and a pressure sensor 7 are further provided in the storage bin 8. The pressure sensor 7 is used to detect the pressure of the storage bin 8 to ensure the normal use and precise control of the system equipment.

[0034] The lower part of the storage bin 8 is connected to a pressure tank 13. A third valve group is provided between the storage bin 8 and the pressure tank 13. The third valve group includes a manual slide valve and a pneumatic slide valve, which are used to control the powder materials entering the pressure tank 13.

[0035] Outside the pressure tank 13, a second weighing device 14 for weighing the weight of the pressure tank 13 is provided. The second weighing device 14 is arranged on the system mounting frame 18, and the weight data of the materials is obtained by calculating the difference between the total weight of the materials + the pressure tank and the empty pressure tank.

[0036] A fluidizing plate 16 is provided at the discharge port of the pressure tank 13. The fluidizing plate 16 can increase the fluidity of the powder materials, so that the materials can be discharged smoothly. The discharge port of the pressure tank 13 is connected to an injector 17 through a fourth valve group 15. The fourth valve group 15 can control the blowing effect of the powder in the pressure tank 13. The injector 17 is connected to a furnace wall gun, and the furnace wall gun finally sprays the powder into the furnace.

[0037] Specifically, the fourth valve group 15 includes a manual slide valve 155 arranged below the fluidizing plate 16. The manual slide valve 155 is connected to a manual ball valve 156 and an injector 17 through a tee respectively; the injector 17 is also connected to an air bag 151 through pipelines. An air-operated ball valve 152, a flow meter 153, and an air-operated diaphragm regulating valve 154 are sequentially arranged on the pipeline along the gas flow direction. The gas in the air bag 151 enters the injector 17 through the pipeline and the pipelines, and the powder is ejected under the auxiliary action of the gas; an air-operated ball valve 157 is further provided between the injector 17 and the tee. The setting of the air-operated ball valve 157 facilitates the remote control of the system; the manual ball valve 156 is connected to the air bag 151 through a pipeline. Under normal working conditions, the manual ball valve 156 is closed. If the powder feeding is blocked, the manual ball valve 156 can be opened, and the gas in the air bag 151 can assist in dredging the feeding pipeline. In the present application, the air bag 151 is also connected to the pressure tank 13 to stabilize the pressure in the pressure tank 13.

[0038] Inside the pressure tank 13 described in this application, there is a built-in fluidization structure that can suspend the ash powder and achieve the effect of pneumatic conveying. In addition, the pressure tank 13 is also equipped with a safety valve and a pressure sensor to ensure the normal use and precise control of the system equipment. At the same time, the pressure tank 13 is also provided with a vent port to ensure the smooth feeding of the pressure tank 13.

[0039] In the system of this application, both the powder grinding equipment and the injection equipment are installed on the system mounting rack 18, which can avoid the influence of vibration on weighing.

[0040] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0041] Large-particle materials such as lime powder or carbon powder used in the steelmaking process first enter the receiving hopper 1 of the high-level storage bin. The bar gate valve 2 is opened, and the materials directly enter the vertical shaft mill 3. When the vertical shaft mill 3 is working, the materials to be crushed are added into the machine from the feed hopper, and the large-particle materials are ground into small particles by the grinding roller device in the equipment. The bag dust collector 4 connected to the storage bin 8 filters the excess gas and fine powder. The dust is collected by the dust collector, and the remaining gas is purified and discharged, effectively protecting the environment.

[0042] Then, the third valve group 12 at the outlet of the storage bin 8 is opened. At the same time, the vibration motor 10 and the arch-breaking air butterfly valve 11 are started. The powder in the storage bin 8 enters the pressure tank 13. The powder entering the pressure tank 13 obtains a certain pressure and finally sprays out from the furnace wall gun through the fourth valve group 15 and the injector 17 and enters the molten iron to achieve the purpose of slag formation.

[0043] The present invention simplifies the current processing flow of steelmaking raw materials. There is no need to pull out the raw materials used in steelmaking from the steel plant for powder grinding and then pull them back by a sealed tank truck after powder grinding, which reduces the processing cost. In addition, the use of the vertical shaft mill 3 in the present invention greatly simplifies the powder grinding process and further reduces the processing cost.

[0044] The embodiments of this specific implementation manner are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
