Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of metallurgical technology, and particularly to a device and an installation method for temporarily and online repairing a falling skirt of a walking beam furnace. Background Art

[0002] A walking beam reheating furnace (walking beam furnace) is a heating furnace that moves billets forward step by step by the rising, advancing, descending, and retreating actions of the furnace bottom or water-cooled metal beams. It relies on a special walking mechanism to move along a certain trajectory (usually a rectangular trajectory), so that the steel materials in the furnace move forward step by step.

[0003] In the prior art, a water seal groove, upper and lower skirts, a slag scraping plate, and a walking beam are provided at the bottom of the walking beam reheating furnace. Normally, the bottom refractory, the bottom steel plate, the upper skirt, the lower skirt, and the slag scraping plate form an integral body A, and the walking beam and the water seal groove form an integral body B. The column moves up, down, forward, and backward in the space of the skirt. The two integral bodies move relative to each other. Once a relatively large hard object falls into this space and foreign objects are blocked in the skirt, it will hinder the movement of the column of the incoming beam and damage the relative movement between the water beam column and the water skirt and the slag scraping plate. Usually, the steel plate of the upper skirt is welded to the bottom steel plate of the furnace. The blockage will cause the steel plate of the upper skirt to be finally welded off from the bottom steel plate of the furnace, and the two will move relative to each other, and then gradually damage the bottom refractory of the furnace. The bottom of the furnace loses heat insulation, the bottom of the furnace is separated from the skirt, and the furnace chamber penetrates through the outside, resulting in the shutdown of the furnace. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Example 1

[0048] As Figures 1-5 shown in the device for temporarily online repairing the falling skirt of the walking beam furnace, which includes a flange ring 12. A plurality of support rods 13 are circumferentially and spacedly arranged on the flange ring 12, and each support rod 13 is provided with a plurality of precast block mounting brackets 14 in the vertical direction;

[0049] A plurality of first precast blocks 15 are arranged on the flange ring 12, and the plurality of first precast blocks 15 enclose to form an annular structure adapted to the shape of the flange ring 12;

[0050] A plurality of second precast blocks 16 are arranged in a stacked manner between adjacent two support rods 13, and each second precast block 16 is arranged on the precast block mounting brackets 14 of the adjacent two support rods 13. The plurality of second precast blocks 16 in each layer enclose to form an annular structure adapted to the shape of the flange ring 12;

[0051] A ceramic fiber hanging blanket 17 is arranged below the flange ring 12.

[0052] Among them, the schematic diagram of the installation position of the first precast block 15 is as shown in Figure 4, and the schematic diagram of the installation position of the second precast block 16 is as Figure 5 shown.

[0053] Among them, as Figures 6-10 shown, the walking beam furnace of the present invention includes an overall A and an overall B. The overall A includes a furnace bottom refractory 1, a furnace bottom steel plate 5, an upper skirt 6, a lower skirt 4 and a slag scraping plate 8. The overall B includes a walking beam 2 and a water seal tank 7. An upper skirt welding steel plate 10 is arranged on the upper skirt 6; Among them, the schematic diagram of the slag scraping plate 8 is as Figure 9 shown, and the schematic diagram of the installation position of the slag scraping plate 8 is as Figure 10 shown.

[0054] When a hard object enters the skirt space and gets stuck, as Figure 8 shown, the relative movement between the column of the walking beam 2 and the skirt is blocked, thereby squeezing the furnace bottom refractory 1, the furnace bottom steel plate 5, the upper skirt 6, the lower skirt 4 and the slag scraping plate 8, causing the furnace bottom steel plate 5 and the upper skirt welding steel plate 10 to be de-welded and have relative movement, and then gradually damaging the furnace bottom refractory 1. The furnace bottom loses heat insulation, and the furnace bottom is separated from the upper skirt 6 and the lower skirt 4. As Figure 11 shown, this will cause the furnace chamber to penetrate with the outside and result in furnace shutdown.

[0055] Therefore, when a hard object enters the skirt space and jams occur, and the upper skirt 6 and the lower skirt 4 are damaged and fall off, the device for temporarily online repairing the fallen skirt of the walking beam furnace of the present invention can be used to temporarily replace the damaged and fallen upper skirt 6 and lower skirt 4 at this place, avoiding furnace shutdown. Moreover, the installation and implementation time of this device is short, and it can be used for a long time. During periodic maintenance, the scale accumulated at the lower part is cleaned, and then wait for an appropriate time to shut down the furnace to restore the upper skirt 6 and lower skirt 4 at this place.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the flange ring 12, the flange ring 12 is composed of two semi-circular components, and these two semi-circular components are welded together to form a whole flange ring 12.

[0057] Furthermore, the gaps in the device for temporarily online repairing the fallen skirt of the walking beam furnace of the present invention are also filled with refractory mortar; for example, the gaps between the first precast block 15 and the second precast block 16, the gaps between adjacent second precast blocks 16, the gaps between adjacent first precast blocks 15, the gaps between the second precast block 16 and the precast block installation support plate 14, etc. will all be filled with refractory mortar to ensure the airtightness of the device.

[0058] In the present invention, a plurality of support rods 13 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the flange ring 12, and a plurality of precast block installation support plates 14 are evenly arranged along the vertical direction on each support rod 13. The specific number and height of the support rods 13 and the number of precast block installation support plates 14 on each support rod 13 are determined according to the specific working conditions required; in a specific embodiment, four support rods 13 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the flange ring 12, and the number of precast block installation support plates 14 on each support rod 13 is the same.

[0059] Furthermore, a plurality of first precast blocks 15 are arranged on the flange ring 12, and one first precast block 15 is arranged between adjacent two support rods 13 (that is, the number of the first precast blocks 15 is the same as the number of the support rods 13), and these plurality of first precast blocks 15 enclose a ring structure adapted to the shape of the flange ring 12.

[0060] In the present invention, the materials of the used first precast block 15 and second precast block 16 are heat-resistant ceramic fibers.

[0061] For the convenience of installation, in a specific embodiment, a card slot is opened on the outer side of each first precast block 15 (as Figure 3 shown), and each first precast block 15 is clamped inside the flange ring 12 through its respective card slot.

[0062] In a preferred case, the second precast blocks 16 are all located on the first precast blocks 15.

[0063] Further, except for the second prefabricated block 16 at the top layer, each of the remaining second prefabricated blocks 16 is adaptively arranged between two adjacent prefabricated block mounting brackets 14 of the same support rod 13.

[0064] In a preferred case, the number of second prefabricated blocks 16 used in each layer is the same as the number of first prefabricated blocks 15.

[0065] The present invention uses a plurality of first prefabricated blocks 15 and a plurality of second prefabricated blocks 16 to facilitate adjustment during single-piece installation, because direct installation of the whole piece may be limited by space operation and weight.

[0066] Among them, the specific number of layers of the second prefabricated blocks 16 arranged in a stack depends on the specific working conditions required. In the present invention, the overall structure finally formed by enclosing the first prefabricated blocks 15 and the second prefabricated blocks 16 is used to temporarily replace the damaged upper skirt 6. Therefore, the specific numbers, sizes, and shapes of the first prefabricated blocks 15 and the second prefabricated blocks 16 only need to meet the requirement that they can jointly replace the damaged upper skirt 6 finally.

[0067] In the present invention, the materials of the flange ring 12, the support rod 13, and the prefabricated block mounting bracket 14 are all heat-resistant stainless steel, such as 0Cr18Ni9.

[0068] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, each support rod 13 is hinged to the flange ring 12 to facilitate adaptation to the site during installation; further, each support rod 13 is hinged to the flange ring 12 through a corresponding hinge device 19 (the number of support rods 13 is the same as the number of hinge devices 19), as Figure 12 shown (in order to facilitate showing the hinge device 19, the welds on the flange ring 12 are not shown in Figure 12 .

[0069] Specifically, as Figures 13-15 shown, the hinge device 19 includes an upper hinge member 191, a lower hinge member 192, and a hinge shaft 193. Among them, two convex rings 194 are provided on the lower hinge member 192, the hinge shaft 193 is rotatably arranged in the two convex rings 194, two connecting plates 195 are provided on the upper hinge member 191, both of the two connecting plates 195 are fixedly connected to the hinge shaft 193, the upper hinge member 191 is welded to the corresponding support rod 13, and the lower hinge member 192 is welded to the flange ring 12.

[0070] Among them, a plurality of mounting holes 18 are evenly spaced along the circumference on the outer side of the flange ring 12, and bolts for threadedly connecting the ceramic fiber hanging blanket 17 are provided in these mounting holes 18.

[0071] The ceramic fiber tapestry 17 in the present invention is adapted to the shape of the flange ring 12, and a steel mesh layer 171 is provided in the ceramic fiber tapestry 17 (if only the ceramic fiber tapestry 17 is used, the strength will be insufficient, and the addition of the steel mesh layer 171 can improve the overall strength). As Figure 16 shown, the ceramic fiber tapestry 17 serves as a temporary substitute for the lower skirt cover 4 to isolate the hot air in the furnace. The specific size of the ceramic fiber tapestry 17 only needs to be able to replace the damaged lower skirt cover 4.

[0072] Embodiment 2

[0073] The installation method of the device for temporarily and online repairing the falling skirt cover of the walking beam furnace in Embodiment 1 is as Figures 17-21 shown and includes the following steps:

[0074] When the upper skirt cover 6 and the lower skirt cover 4 of the walking beam furnace are damaged, deformed and fall off, the furnace temperature nearby can be temporarily reduced, and the damaged upper skirt cover 6 and lower skirt cover 4 are removed in sequence. As Figure 17 shown, clean the sundries nearby to expose the working surface of the furnace bottom. Install the flange ring 12 on the walking beam 2 (weld two semi-circular components together to form the flange ring 12). A plurality of support rods 13 are installed at intervals along the circumference of the flange ring 12 (it is also possible to further install a plurality of hinged devices 19 so that each support rod 13 is hinged to the flange ring 12 through the corresponding hinged device 19). A plurality of precast block installation brackets 14 are installed on each support rod 13 in the vertical direction. As Figure 18 shown, then install a plurality of first precast blocks 15 (as Figure 19 shown) and a plurality of second precast blocks 16 (as Figure 20 shown), fill the gaps with refractory mortar, and then install the ceramic fiber tapestry 17 below the flange ring 12 (connect the ceramic fiber tapestry 17 by screwing the bolts in the installation holes 18). As Figure 21 shown, and then the temperature can be raised for production.

[0075] The device for temporarily and online repairing the falling skirt cover of the walking beam furnace is used to temporarily replace the damaged upper skirt cover 6 and lower skirt cover 4, and the corresponding installation positions are the same as those of the original upper skirt cover 6 and lower skirt cover 4.

[0076] The device for temporarily and online repairing the falling skirt cover of the walking beam heating furnace in the present invention can complete the repair and replacement online in a short time, and can timely separate the inside and outside of the furnace to avoid the situation from deteriorating further and causing production stoppage.

[0077] It should be understood that the parts not elaborated in detail in this specification all belong to the prior art.

[0078] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, including any other suitable combination of each technical feature.
