[0002] When smelting copper, the ore needs to be crushed, floated and roasted to make it into concentrated copper ore with a copper content of 25%-30%.

[0033] See also Figure 1-10 The present invention provides a technical solution for a crude copper pyrometallurgical refining furnace:
[0034] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a crude copper pyrometallurgical refining furnace comprises a furnace door 2, a furnace body 1 and a flue 3, wherein the furnace door 2 is installed on the front of the furnace body 1, and the flue 3 is installed on the side of the furnace body 1. A maintenance component is arranged on the surface of the furnace body 1, and the maintenance component comprises a flame muffle plate 402 and a plurality of partition plates 401. A sealed fireproof frame is arranged on the top of the furnace body 1, and the flame muffle plate 402 is arranged in the sealed fireproof frame at the upper end of the furnace body 1. A plurality of partition plates 401 are evenly installed on the surface of the flame muffle plate 402, and the burst refractory bricks can be separated by the flame muffle plate 402 and the partition plates 401;
[0035] Among them, a furnace top 404 is arranged inside the flame baffle 402, and multiple exhaust pipes 407 are connected around the lower end of the furnace body 1. Refractory plugs 409 are arranged inside the multiple exhaust pipes 407. The refractory plugs 409 at the corresponding positions are taken out from the exhaust pipes 407 to facilitate the staff to repair the burst refractory bricks. Multiple temperature monitors 408 are evenly installed around the lower end of the furnace body 1. The position of the burst refractory bricks can be determined by the temperature monitors 408;
[0036] Among them, a lifting assembly is arranged at the upper end of the furnace body 1, and the lifting assembly includes a first motor 510, a steel wire rope 508 and a reel 509. The first motor 510 is fixedly installed on the back of the furnace body 1, and the reel 509 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 510. One end of the steel wire rope 508 is fixedly connected to the surface of the reel 509. The reel 509 is driven to rotate by the first motor 510, and the steel wire rope 508 is wound or unwound by the reel 509, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the lifting and lowering of the partition plate 401 and the flame baffle plate 402.
[0037] Among them, two support frames 503 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the furnace body 1, and the horizontal arm ends of the two support frames 503 are fixedly connected with the suspension rods 502, the furnace top 404 is fixedly connected to the lower ends of the two suspension rods 502, and a support shaft 504 is rotatably connected between the two support frames 503, and the four corners of the furnace body 1 are fixedly connected with guide cylinders 507, and the guide frame 506 is slidably inserted inside the guide cylinder 507, the other end of the wire rope 508 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide frame 506, and the surface of the furnace body 1 is fixedly connected with a cantilever frame 505.
[0038] During specific use, when the refractory bricks inside the furnace body 1 burst, the heat in the furnace body 1 will be lost from the burst refractory bricks, causing the temperature of the burst part to rise rapidly and significantly, which will be monitored by the temperature monitor 408. The position of the burst refractory bricks can be determined by the temperature monitor 408 at the corresponding position, and then the reel 509 is driven to rotate by the first motor 510 to spread the steel wire rope 508 wound on the reel 509, so that the partition plate 401 can be moved downward to the bottom of the furnace body 1, and the burst refractory bricks can be separated by the flame isolation plate 402 and the partition plate 401, and then the refractory plug 409 at the corresponding position is taken out from the discharge pipe 407 to discharge the copper water in the isolated part, and then the sealed fire isolation frame on the top of the furnace body 1 is removed, and the staff can use repair tools and equipment to repair the burst refractory bricks after wearing protective equipment.
[0039] according to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a cooling component is arranged inside the flame muffle plate 402, and the cooling component includes a water inlet pipe 406 and a floating frame 405. The flame muffle plate 402 and the partition plate 401 are both hollow structures, and a plurality of partition plates 401 are connected to the flame muffle plate 402. The lower end of the partition plate 401 of the flame muffle plate 402 is fixedly connected with a refractory plate 403. The material of the refractory plate 403 is the same as that of the refractory brick, and the refractory plate 403 can reduce the loss of heat;
[0040] Among them, the floating frame 405 is arranged inside the flame baffle plate 402, and the water plug 410 can be driven to move by the floating frame 405. The water inlet pipe 406 is fixedly inserted into the top of the flame baffle plate 402. Two pull rods 411 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the floating frame 405. The upper end of the pull rod 411 is fixedly connected to the water plug 410. The flow of water can be controlled by the position of the water plug 410. The two water plugs 410 are respectively arranged inside the two short arm ends of the water inlet pipe 406. The water plug 410 and the water inlet pipe 406 form a piston mechanism. The two short arm ends of the water inlet pipe 406 are provided with multiple water outlet holes 412.
[0041] During specific use, when the partition plate 401 and the flame baffle plate 402 are in use, water can be discharged into the partition plate 401 and the flame baffle plate 402 through the water inlet pipe 406 connected to the external water source, that is, the temperature of the partition plate 401 and the flame baffle plate 402 can be lowered by water, thereby improving the safety of the staff during the maintenance process. When the water in the partition plate 401 and the flame baffle plate 402 evaporates and causes the water level to drop, since the floating frame 405 floats on the water surface, it can rise and fall with the water level. In this way, when the water level is too low, the floating frame 405 drives the water plug 410 to move downward until the water outlet 412 is no longer blocked, so that water can flow out of the water outlet 412, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically replenishing water.
[0042] according to Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, a heating component is provided on the side of the furnace body 1 away from the flue 3, and the heating component includes an air delivery pipe 602, a heat transfer pipe 604 and a fan blade 609. The air delivery pipe 602 is connected to the side of the furnace body 1 away from the flue 3, and one end of the air delivery pipe 602 away from the furnace body 1 is connected to the air inlet pipe 601, and the heat transfer pipe 604 is connected to the surface of the air inlet pipe 601. The long arm end of the heat transfer pipe 604 is connected to the surface of the furnace body 1, and the interior of the heat transfer pipe 604 is fixedly connected to a support plate 610, and the middle part of the support plate 610 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 611. The fan blade 609 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 611, and the inert gas and the hot air can be mixed by the rotating fan blade 609;
[0043] Among them, the other end of the rotating shaft 611 is fixedly connected to the second sprocket 608, and the side of the furnace body 1 is fixedly installed with a second motor 607. The output end of the second motor 607 is fixedly connected to the first sprocket 606. The surfaces of the first sprocket 606 and the second sprocket 608 are provided with a chain 605. The cooperation between the first sprocket 606, the second sprocket 608 and the chain 605 can drive the fan blade 609 to rotate. The upper and lower surfaces inside the gas pipe 602 are fixedly connected with a plurality of baffles 603. The two groups of multiple baffles 603 are staggered. The staggered baffles 603 can increase the gas flow distance and make the hot air and inert gas mixed more evenly.
[0044] During specific use, in order to reduce the amount of oxygen entering the refining furnace and causing oxidation of oxygen and copper, an inert gas is sometimes injected into the furnace body 1 during the smelting process to reduce the amount of oxygen retained in the furnace body 1. In the process of injecting the inert gas into the furnace body 1 through the air inlet pipe 601, the first sprocket 606 can be driven to rotate by the second motor 607. Since the transmission between the first sprocket 606, the second sprocket 608 and the chain 605 is an existing commonly used structure, the rotating shaft 611 and the fan blades 609 can be driven to rotate to transport the hot air inside the furnace body 1 to the air inlet pipe 601. In this way, when the inert gas flows through the air inlet pipe 601 and the air delivery pipe 602, the hot air and the inert gas can be mixed to increase the temperature of the inert gas, thereby preventing the refractory bricks from bursting due to excessive temperature difference when the inert gas temperature is too low and contacts with the refractory bricks.
