TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of RH refining furnace, in particular to a top gun sealing channel device integrated with a clamping device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The RH vacuum degassing device is a secondary refining process equipment for producing high-quality steel. The existing RH vacuum degassing device is equipped with a multifunctional top gun to realize the refining process needs such as oxygen blowing decarburization, chemical heating, vacuum tank heating, etc. during the refining of molten steel. It is very important to design an advanced and reliable vacuum sealing channel device to solve the high-temperature sealing problem between the top gun and the vacuum tank during the vacuum treatment and heating process.
[0003] The current practical RH top gun sealing channel devices at home and abroad mainly have two types: fixed on the structure platform and fixed on the vacuum tank hot bend pipe.
[0004] Fixed on the structure platform: the sealing channel device is fixed on the structure platform of the plant, and a cylinder expansion joint is used to realize the connection between the sealing channel device and the vacuum tank, so that the sealing channel device is separated from the vacuum tank and installed on the fixed platform. This not only reduces the elevation requirements of the plant, but also facilitates the maintenance and maintenance of the sealing channel device.
[0005] However, with this structure, the vacuum sealing channel is easily affected by the high-temperature gas flowing out of the tank, causing the sealing air bag to be easily burned out and unable to seal normally, thereby affecting the normal processing technology. When the vacuum tank is moved, the sealing channel device is separated from the vacuum tank, causing the hot gas in the tank to rise a lot, thereby frequently burning out the electrical equipment such as the sealing channel expansion joint and the cylinder limit switch, and the damage of the electrical equipment will make it impossible to confirm whether the expansion joint is in place when the tank is moved, often causing the expansion joint to be damaged, thereby causing production accidents. In addition, the sealing channel device is installed directly above the tank body, which occupies the lifting space of the vacuum tank and the hot bend pipe, thereby being not conducive to the lifting of the tank body, and the crane often pulls the expansion joint when lifting the tank, causing operation accidents.
[0006] Fixed on the vacuum tank hot bend pipe: the sealing channel device is fixed on the vacuum tank hot bend pipe and moves with the vacuum tank body. When the top gun is working, it passes through the sealing channel device into the vacuum tank for process treatment. When the top gun is not working for a long time, to prevent the sealing channel device from being burned out by the hot gas in the vacuum tank, the sealing channel device is rotated away from the top gun hole of the vacuum tank by rotating the handle, and the heat insulation blind flange is turned into the top gun hole of the vacuum tank. With this structure, it has the advantages of not occupying the lifting space of the vacuum tank and being conducive to the lifting and replacement of the vacuum tank and the hot bend pipe.
[0007] However, the sealing channel device is installed on the hot bending pipe, which can cause the sealing channel device to be baked by the high-temperature gas in the vacuum tank for a long time and at a close distance, so that the sealing air bag and the sealing packing are easily burned out, thereby the vacuum sealing cannot be completed, and the normal processing process is affected. Moreover, the manual switching of the sealing channel device and the heat insulation blind flange is labor-intensive and dangerous.
[0008] As shown above, the existing sealing channel installation technology still has certain limitations. SUMMARY
