Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ironmaking energy-saving and emission-reduction equipment, and in particular to a visual energy-saving iron ditch liquid surface insulation device and a method for using the device. Background Art

[0002] The iron ditch is a crucial feature of the blast furnace. It serves as the channel for molten iron to flow into the ladle after the hot iron-slag mixture is separated from the furnace. The tapping temperature in a blast furnace is typically above 1500°C to ensure good fluidity and meet the required temperature for the steelmaking process. To minimize heat loss and temperature drop caused by thermal radiation from the high-temperature molten iron surface, most steel mills install a cover plate above the iron ditch. This cover plate typically consists of a 2cm thick layer of ordinary steel plate and a 20cm thick layer of refractory material, providing insulation, safety, and load-bearing properties.

[0003] The iron ditch is generally rebuilt every 60 days. During construction, the cover plate needs to be removed and then replaced after the construction is complete. This cover plate is too thick and heavy, and both its removal and replacement require manual crane operations, which is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Due to the different materials of the steel plate layer and the refractory material layer of the cover plate, they shrink and expand to different degrees during repeated heating and cooling. During the lifting operations of removal and replacement, they are inevitably bumped and bumped, which can easily cause the refractory material layer to crack, fall off, lose corners, and partially fall off from the steel plate, seriously affecting the service life and thermal insulation effect of the cover plate. This cover plate has no observation function, so the detachment of the refractory material layer cannot be discovered in time, and the refractory material layer cannot be repaired in time. In addition, the cover plate is generally about 1 meter away from the molten iron liquid surface, which has poor thermal insulation effect. The surface temperature of the cover plate is over 100°C, posing a safety risk to workers.

[0004] Therefore, in order to improve the insulation and maintenance performance of the iron ditch cover and extend the service life of the refractory material, it is necessary to develop a visual energy-saving iron ditch liquid surface insulation device and its use method to solve the problems of the existing iron ditch cover, such as time-consuming and labor-intensive maintenance, lack of visibility, short life of the refractory material, poor insulation effect, and certain safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Specifically, four lifting ears are provided on the top of the steel plate frame, and the lifting ears are evenly distributed at the four corners of the steel plate frame. The lifting ears are foldable and are erected for driving and unhooking.

[0013] Specifically, a plurality of the insulation boards are laid under the same visual cover board, and the width of the insulation boards is 30 cm to 50 cm.

Each set of hydraulic lifting devices has four hydraulic columns. When the hydraulic columns are lowered to the lowest position, the tops of the hydraulic columns must be 1cm-2cm lower than the lower surface of the visualization steel plate.

In the working state, the upper end of the hanging rod 2 is fixed to the upper hanging hook 14, and the lower end is fixed to the lower hanging hook 31. The refractory material 32 is filled in the interior of the refractory shell 31, and a lower hanging hook 33 is provided above both ends of the refractory shell 31.

[0033] The steel plate frame 11 is welded by the common steel plate of 2cm thickness. The steel plate frame 11 is provided with the installation glass 12 along the iron ditch toward the central axis position.

[0034] The glass 12 is made of 2cm thick tempered laminated glass, which has good load-bearing capacity and suitable heat resistance. The width of the glass 12 is 10cm-30cm smaller than the width of the iron ditch, and the length of the glass 12 is 20cm-60cm smaller than the length of the steel plate frame 11.

[0035] The hydraulic positioning groove 13 is used to position the visualization cover plate 1 on the hydraulic column 41 to ensure the safety of the visualization cover plate 1 when it is raised or lowered.

[0036] The upper hanging hook 14 is as wide as the lower hanging hook 33, and its inner diameter is 0.5cm larger than the diameter of the suspension rod 2.

[0037] There are 4 lifting ears on each visualization cover plate, evenly distributed at the four corners of the visualization cover plate 1. The lifting ears 15 are foldable with a pin structure. When used, they are erected to facilitate unhooking and when not used, they are laid down to reduce the impact on workers' daily work and walking.

[0038] The suspension rod 2 is made with the steel bar of φ 2cm, and is rectangular, and the inner width is 1cm larger than the upper hanging hook 14.

[0039] A plurality of insulation boards 3 are evenly laid under a visual cover plate. The width of the insulation boards 3 is more suitable to be 30 cm. The weight is relatively light and it is easy to replace.

[0040] The fire-resistant shell 31 is cast from a ceramic material that can withstand temperatures of 1500 degrees Celsius, and has a thickness of 3 cm.

[0041] The refractory material 32 is a fibrous refractory material filled in the interior of the refractory shell 31 , which not only plays a heat insulation role but also reduces the weight of the insulation board 3 .

[0042] The hydraulic lifting devices 4 are fixed on both sides of the iron ditch channel. Each visualization cover plate corresponds to one set of hydraulic lifting devices, and each set of hydraulic lifting devices 4 has four hydraulic columns 41.

[0043] When the hydraulic column 41 is lowered to the lowest point, the column is 1 cm lower than the lower surface of the visual steel plate 1. The hydraulic column 41 adopts the existing four-stage lifting column and can be raised to more than 2.5 meters to facilitate workers' maintenance.

[0044] In addition, a 0.5 cm thick refractory material 32 is installed at the location where the insulation board 3 is placed in the iron ditch channel to prevent impact and collision and to provide sealing.

[0045] The present invention provides a method for using a visual energy-saving iron trough liquid level insulation device, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Use a crane to place the visualization cover 1 at the designated location, place the hydraulic positioning groove 13 of the visualization cover 1 above the hydraulic column 41, and drop it, and remove the crane hook.

[0047] Step 2: Start the hydraulic lifting device 4 rising program, raise the hydraulic column 41 to a suitable height, and stop the hydraulic lifting device 4. Hang the upper end of the suspension rod 2 on the upper hanging hook 14, and hang the insulation board 3 on the lower end of the suspension rod 2.

[0048] Step 3: Start the descending program of the hydraulic lifting device 4, lower the hydraulic column 41 to the lowest position, and stop the hydraulic lifting device 4. The visual cover 1 falls to the designated position on the ground, and the insulation board falls on the iron ditch channel.

[0049] Step 4: When the insulation board 3 is observed to be cracked through the visual cover, if the damaged insulation board 3 needs to be replaced, start the hydraulic lifting device 4 to raise the hydraulic column 41 to the appropriate height, and stop the hydraulic lifting device 4. After replacing the damaged insulation board 3, repeat steps 1 to 3.

[0050] Step 5: When the iron trough needs to be overhauled, start the hydraulic lifting device 4 rising program to raise the hydraulic column 41 to the highest position. After the overhaul is completed, repeat steps 1 to 3.

[0051] The advantages of this embodiment are: the addition of a hydraulic system can quickly complete the lifting, lowering and replacement of the device and the replacement of the insulation board. The hydraulic height design of more than 2.5m satisfies the need to raise the device without affecting the construction of the iron ditch by ground workers, greatly reducing the repair and maintenance time of the iron ditch and the device. The introduction of a visual cover makes it easy to observe the operation of the insulation board and replace damaged insulation boards in time; the design of splitting the insulation board into small pieces helps to reduce the workload of replacing the insulation board, reduce the amount of refractory materials used in the insulation board, and extend the service life of the refractory materials. The insulation board is placed on the iron ditch channel, which reduces the distance between the refractory material and the molten iron liquid surface compared to the existing cover plate, which helps to reduce the loss of sensible heat of the molten iron. The filling of fiber refractory materials inside the insulation board can effectively prevent the spread of sensible heat of the molten iron. In short, the device has the characteristics of visualization, easy operation, easy maintenance, and long service life of refractory materials. After application, the heat loss of the molten iron surface is reduced by 20%, and the molten iron temperature is increased by 3°C. The annual economic benefit of a plant with an annual output of 2 million tons of molten iron is 6 million to 9 million yuan.

The introduction of a visual cover makes it easy to observe the operation of the insulation board and replace damaged insulation boards in time; the design of splitting the insulation board into small pieces helps to reduce the workload of replacing the insulation board, reduce the amount of refractory materials used in the insulation board, and extend the service life of the refractory materials. The insulation board is placed on the iron ditch channel, which reduces the distance between the refractory material and the molten iron liquid surface compared to the existing cover plate, which helps to reduce the loss of sensible heat of the molten iron. The filling of fiber refractory materials inside the insulation board can effectively prevent the spread of sensible heat of the molten iron. In short, the device has the characteristics of visualization, easy operation, easy maintenance, and long service life of refractory materials. After application, the heat loss of the molten iron surface is reduced by 40%, and the molten iron temperature is increased by 5°C. The annual economic benefit of a plant with an annual output of 2 million tons of molten iron is 10 million to 15 million yuan.
