Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of iron and steel smelting technology, and more specifically, to a preheating recovery and reuse structure for a converter. Background Technology
[0002] A converter is an important metallurgical equipment widely used in steelmaking, copper smelting, nickel smelting and other fields. Its core function is to remove impurities from molten iron through high-temperature oxidation reaction and improve the purity of molten steel. The structure of a converter includes the furnace body, furnace lining, tuyeres, furnace mouth and other parts. Its working principle is based on oxygen blowing and chemical reaction.
[0003] Chinese patent announcement number CN222069327U discloses a waste heat recovery structure for a rotary kiln, comprising a rotary kiln body, a heat absorption layer, and a connecting pipe. Multiple heat absorption layers are equidistantly arranged from top to bottom within the internal cavity of the rotary kiln body. A connecting pipe is evenly coiled around each heat absorption layer. One side of the connecting pipe is connected to a water inlet pipe, and the other side is connected to a water outlet pipe. The advantage of this patent is that, depending on the actual application of the rotary kiln, water and air can be circulated through the connecting pipe at appropriate locations within the kiln, thereby recovering and utilizing the heat inside the kiln. This structural design allows for the selection of suitable locations for the connecting pipe, maximizing the recovery and utilization of heat inside the rotary kiln, resulting in better practical application effects. The combined effect of water and air circulation recovers and utilizes the heat inside the rotary kiln.
[0004] Although the above-mentioned patent utilizes the structural design to select the appropriate location of the connecting pipe and maximize the recovery and utilization of heat inside the rotary kiln, it is worth noting that the preheating effect of the converter will vary depending on the amount of gas and water entering the converter during operation. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively control the amount of gas and water entering the converter during the preheating process in order to achieve a balanced preheating recovery effect.

[0034] Example 1
[0035] See also Figures 1-7As shown, this embodiment provides a preheating recovery and reuse structure for a converter, including a three-way pipe 1 and a fixed base 3.

A sliding column 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the flue 2. A flue opening 22 is provided at the bottom of the sliding column 21. A connecting rod assembly 5 is provided through the fixed frame 32.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple solenoid valves 111 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the three-way pipe 1, and a heat storage rod 121 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the heat storage pipe 12. Filter screens 122 are provided on both sides of the heat storage rod 121 and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat storage pipe 12.
[0037] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the inner wall of the flue vent 22 is provided with a snap-fit groove 221, which fits into the top opening of the converter 4. Multiple spray guns 222 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flue vent 22 above the snap-fit groove 221. The spray guns 222 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flue vent 22 in a ring array.
[0038] Protective shells 33 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the fixed frame 32. The connecting rod assembly 5 is located inside the protective shell 33. A blocking shell 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 32. A motor 51 is fixedly connected to the blocking shell 34 on the side away from the fixed frame 32. A fixing plate 321 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame 32. A first square hole 322 is opened between the two fixing plates 321 on both sides of the fixed frame 32. A second square hole 323 is opened on the outer wall of the fixed frame 32 at the position of the sliding base 31. An extension rod 324 is fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the upper end of the fixed frame 32.
[0039] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the linkage assembly 5 includes a first linkage 511, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 51. A sliding frame 52 is slidably connected to the side of the fixing bracket 32 near the blocking shell 34. A sliding plate 521 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding frame 52. A sliding disk 522 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the sliding plate 521. The end of the first linkage 511 away from the motor 51 is fixedly connected to the sliding disk 522. The first linkage 511 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the sliding disk 522. A fixing post 523 is rotatably connected to the end of the sliding disk 522 away from the first linkage 511. The fixing post 523 is rotatably connected to the sliding post 21 at the end away from the sliding disk 522.
[0040] like Figure 7As shown, a second connecting rod 53 is rotatably connected to the top of the sliding column 21. A double-headed telescopic rod 531 is rotatably connected to the end of the second connecting rod 53 furthest from the sliding column 21. The middle end of the double-headed telescopic rod 531 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 321, and the double-headed telescopic rod 531 passes through a first square hole 322. A third connecting rod 532 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the end of the double-headed telescopic rod 531 furthest from the second connecting rod 53. The end of the third connecting rod 532 furthest from the double-headed telescopic rod 531 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding base 31. The double-headed telescopic rod 531 is rotatably connected to the lower side of the first square hole 322. A fourth link 54 is rotatably connected to the upper side of one end of the second link 53. A limiting strip 541 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fourth link 54. The limiting strip 541 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 33. A protruding rod 542 is rotatably connected to the end of the fourth link 54 away from the double-headed telescopic rod 531. The protruding rod 542 is slidably connected to the end of the extension rod 324 away from the fixed frame 32. A protruding column 543 is fixedly connected to the end of the protruding rod 542 away from the fourth link 54. The position of the protruding column 543 is on the same vertical line as the solenoid valve 111.
[0041] Among them, the double-headed telescopic rod 531 is a passive telescopic component, consisting of a straight rod and a sleeve. The straight rod slides through the inside of the sleeve, and the center of the sleeve is rotatably set on the fixed plate 321. When the double-headed telescopic rod 531 is rotated by the second connecting rod 53, it telescopically moves to ensure that the fourth connecting rod 54 moves vertically.
[0042] Therefore, it can be seen that when heat energy needs to be recovered and utilized during the preheating of converter 4, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, during the steelmaking process, quicklime is added to the empty converter 4. After the addition is completed, the quicklime can be evenly distributed inside the converter 4 by rotating it. Then, recycled scrap steel is added to the converter 4 and molten iron is added again. The converter 4 is kept in a vertical position, and then the connecting rod assembly 5 is started.
[0043] like Figures 6-7As shown, driven by motor 51, the first connecting rod 511 rotates, which in turn drives the sliding disk 522 to rotate. Because the end of the first connecting rod 511 is located around the periphery of the sliding disk 522, the rotation of the first connecting rod 511 causes the sliding disk 522 to rotate eccentrically. This eccentric rotation of the sliding disk 522 then causes the sliding plate 521 to move up and down, and simultaneously, the sliding disk 522 also causes the sliding column 21 to move up and down. Therefore, when the end of the first connecting rod 51 furthest from motor 51 is facing upwards, the electric... After the machine 51 drives the first connecting rod 511 to rotate 180 degrees, the first connecting rod 511 rotates downwards, which in turn drives the sliding column 21 to move down a certain distance. At the same time, the downward movement of the sliding column 21 will also drive the second connecting rod 53 to pull the double-headed telescopic rod 531 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotation of the double-headed telescopic rod 531 will also pull the third connecting rod 532 to move upwards. At this time, the third connecting rod 532 will simultaneously pull the sliding base 31 to slide upwards inside the fixed frame 32. At this time, the converter 4 will move closer to the flue duct 22, and the flue duct 22 will seal the entrance of the converter 4.
[0044] At this time, the spray gun 222 sprays water. Due to the excessively high temperature inside the converter 4, the water sprayed by the spray gun 222 will evaporate rapidly before it even comes into contact with the molten iron and scrap steel inside the converter 4, forming a large amount of water vapor. Along with the heat inside the converter 4, the water vapor will rise into the three-way pipe 1 and flow to the heat storage rod 121 in the heat storage pipe 12 for storage. Figure 1 As shown, when multiple devices need to operate, when devices on both sides are operating, the adjacent devices of the operating devices are preheated. At this time, the temperature generated after the molten iron is poured into both sides will be transferred to the converter 4 which is being preheated through the three-way pipe 1 and the heat storage pipe 12. This allows the heat of the operating devices to be effectively used to preheat the devices that need to be preheated during the operation of multiple devices. This intermittent preheating and heat storage method can effectively ensure the continuity of equipment operation, so as to achieve the effect of preheating and recycling.
[0045] Furthermore, a large amount of smoke and dust will be generated during the operation of converter 4. The water sprayed by spray gun 222 can not only generate a large amount of water vapor to carry heat upward and transfer, but also effectively block the large amount of smoke and dust generated during the operation of converter 4.
[0046] It should be noted that the connection between the three-way pipe 1 and the heat storage pipe 12 is controlled by a solenoid valve 111 to open or close. When the double-headed telescopic rod 531 rotates and pulls the third connecting rod 532 upward, it will also push the fourth connecting rod 54 upward. At this time, the fourth connecting rod 54 will drive the protruding rod 542 and the protruding column 543 to move upward together and touch the solenoid valve 111. At this time, the solenoid valve 111 will open the connection between the three-way pipe 1 and the heat storage pipe 12. At this time, the heat generated by the converters 4 that are running on both sides will be transferred to the heat storage rod 121 in the heat storage pipe 12. When other equipment needs to be preheated before adding molten iron, the solenoid valve 111 will also be opened to allow the heat to rush into the converter 4 that needs to be preheated. At this time, the spray gun 222 above the converter 4 that is preheating is not working.
[0047] In addition, when all equipment is shut down, i.e. when the solenoid valve 111 closes the three-way pipe 1 and the heat storage pipe 12, the heat storage rod 121 stores heat to facilitate preheating for the next startup.
