Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of recycled copper processing, and in particular to a combustion system for a vertical shaft furnace for direct rod making of recycled copper. Background Technology
[0002] The direct rod-making process using recycled copper involves pre-treating scrap copper and then directly feeding it into a vertical shaft furnace for smelting. Copper rods are then produced through continuous casting and rolling. This technology boasts advantages such as a short process flow, low energy consumption, and minimal pollution. The vertical shaft furnace, as the core equipment of this process, directly impacts the quality of copper smelting, energy consumption levels, and environmental indicators. Currently, the combustion systems of vertical shaft furnaces for direct rod-making using recycled copper still suffer from numerous technical deficiencies, hindering the full realization of the process's advantages.
[0003] Existing vertical shaft furnace combustion systems mostly use single-channel burners, resulting in insufficient fuel-air mixing, low combustion efficiency (typically ≤85%), and significant fuel waste. Simultaneously, the flame shape is uncontrollable, easily leading to localized high temperatures or uneven temperature distribution. Temperature fluctuations in the vertical shaft furnace's constant-temperature zone can reach ±20℃ or more, causing uneven copper liquid composition, high oxidation loss rate, and affecting the quality of copper rod products.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a combustion system for a shaft furnace for direct rod making of recycled copper to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the flame shape is uncontrollable, easily leading to localized high temperatures or uneven temperature distribution. Temperature fluctuations in the furnace's constant-temperature zone can reach ±20℃ or more, causing uneven copper composition, high oxidation loss, and negatively impacting the quality of the copper rods.

The base radius of the frustum is smaller than the top radius, allowing the descending recycled copper raw materials to descend in a centered position without colliding with the furnace wall. A finned tube heat exchanger recovers waste heat from the exhaust gas, increasing the secondary air temperature, reducing fuel consumption, and lowering production costs.
[0021] 3. The dual-band flame detector is linked with the ignition electrode. In case of flame abnormality, the fuel is cut off within seconds. Combined with the pressure alarm device, it achieves three levels of safety protection, eliminates the risk of explosion, and the independent waste discharge and copper discharge design reduces equipment blockage.

[0024] This invention provides, for example Figure 1 The combustion system shown is for a vertical shaft furnace for direct rod making of recycled copper, including a vertical furnace 1 and a combustion unit, a staged hot air circulation supply unit 5 and a temperature control feedback unit. The combustion unit includes at least three double swirl burners 10, which are arranged around the furnace wall of the vertical furnace 1. Multiple sets of combustion units are arranged, and the multiple sets of combustion units are distributed along the height direction of the vertical furnace 1.
[0025] A feed inlet is provided on one side of the conical opening 2, and a box door 3 is provided on the feed inlet, through which recycled copper raw materials can be fed into the vertical furnace 1.
[0026] The upper combustion unit can preheat the descending recycled copper raw material, while the lower combustion unit can smelt the preheated recycled copper raw material, thereby increasing the smelting and combustion speed, improving efficiency, and reducing the combustion pressure on the bottom combustion unit.
[0027] The top of the vertical furnace 1 is provided with a conical opening 2, and the top of the conical opening 2 is connected to an exhaust pipe 14. A heat exchanger 6 is provided on the exhaust pipe 14. The heat exchanger 6 and the staged thermal circulation air supply system 5 are connected through a heat exchange pipe 4. The staged thermal circulation air supply system 5 is connected to a double swirl burner 10.
[0028] An inner sleeve 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the vertical furnace 1. The inner sleeve 9 has a frustum-shaped opening inside, with the base radius smaller than the top radius. This allows the descending recycled copper raw material to descend centrally without colliding with the inner wall of the furnace 1. The frustum-shaped inner sleeve 9 (base radius smaller than top radius), fixed to the inner wall of the furnace 1, works in conjunction with the internal buffer mechanism (rotating shaft 7 + elastic baffle 8) to guide the recycled copper raw material to descend smoothly along the central axis, avoiding localized wear from collisions with the furnace wall and reducing uneven heating caused by material accumulation. The design of the top conical opening 2 and the exhaust pipe 14 facilitates the centralized discharge of waste gas and enables waste heat recovery through the heat exchanger 6, forming an energy cycle.
[0029] The combustion port of the dual swirl burner 10 is inclined downward. The dual swirl burner 10 is equipped with a nested inner swirl channel and an outer swirl channel. The nested inner swirl channel (80-150mm) and the outer swirl channel (150-300mm) are combined with adjustable guide vanes (15°-45°) to precisely control the flame shape (length, diffusion angle) and adapt to the melting requirements of different height areas (such as upper preheating, middle melting, and lower heat preservation).
[0030] The staged heat circulation air supply unit 5 includes a primary air module, a secondary air module, and an air heat exchanger. The primary air module is connected to the inner vortex channel through an independent pipe, and the secondary air module, heat exchanger 6, and outer vortex channel are connected in sequence.
[0031] The temperature control feedback unit includes an infrared thermometer, a PLC controller, and an actuator. The infrared thermometer is installed at the top and bottom of the vertical furnace 1 to directly collect the temperature data inside the furnace. The infrared thermometer is connected to the PLC controller, the PLC controller is connected to the actuator, and the actuator is connected to the staged heat circulation air supply unit 5.
[0032] The infrared thermometer is positioned at two points, one above and one below, to collect temperatures in the 800-1300℃ range in real time. The data is transmitted to the PLC controller, which then dynamically adjusts the airflow and fuel supply via actuators. The dual-swirl burner features a built-in ignition electrode (8-15kV breakdown voltage) and a dual-band flame monitor (response time ≤0.5s), enabling rapid ignition and real-time flame status monitoring. In case of a malfunction, fuel is immediately cut off, enhancing operational safety.
[0033] The inner swirl channel of the dual swirl burner 10 has a diameter of 80-150mm, and the outer swirl channel has a diameter of 150-300mm. Adjustable guide vanes are provided at the outlets of both the inner and outer swirl channels, with an adjustment range of 15°-45°. Each dual swirl burner 10 has a built-in ignition electrode and a dual-band flame detector. The breakdown voltage of the ignition electrode is 8kV-15kV, and the response time of the flame detector is ≤0.5s.
[0034] The dual-band flame detector (response time ≤ 0.5s) is linked to the ignition electrode, and immediately cuts off the fuel when the flame is extinguished to eliminate the risk of explosion; the pressure alarm device monitors the fuel pressure (0.05-0.2MPa) in real time, and automatically shuts down when abnormal, reducing the incidence of safety accidents.
[0035] The primary air module of the staged air-heat circulation air supply unit 5 is equipped with a high-pressure centrifugal fan, with a primary air velocity of 15m / s-25m / s. The secondary air module is equipped with a variable frequency axial flow fan, with a secondary air velocity of 20m / s-35m / s. The heat exchanger 6 uses a finned tube type air-heat exchanger with a heat exchange efficiency of ≥85%, promoting complete fuel combustion. The air-heat exchanger is linked to the exhaust gas system of the vertical furnace 1 to achieve cascaded utilization of heat.
[0036] The inner sleeve 9 is equipped with multiple buffer mechanisms, including a rotating shaft 7 and an elastic baffle 8. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical furnace 1, and the elastic baffle 8 is fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 7. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the vertical furnace through a high-temperature bearing. The elastic baffle 8 is made of spring steel and has an arc-shaped structure, fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft. It can automatically adjust its angle (swing range 0-30°) according to the impact of the raw materials.
[0037] A filter plate 11 is installed at the bottom of the vertical furnace 1. A waste discharge port 12 is connected to one side of the vertical furnace 1, located above the filter plate 11. A copper discharge port 13 is connected to the bottom of the vertical furnace 1, located below the filter plate 11. The filter plate 11 separates molten copper from waste residue. The waste discharge port 12 and the copper discharge port 13 are designed independently to reduce equipment blockage and maintenance frequency. The filter plate 11 installed at the bottom of the furnace is made of 310S heat-resistant steel with a hole diameter of 8-12mm and is arranged at a 10° angle to facilitate the sliding of waste residue to the waste discharge port 12. The waste discharge port 12 is equipped with a water-cooled gate valve, which can achieve sealing and opening / closing at high temperatures.
[0038] The combustion unit is connected to the dual-fuel switching supply unit, and the dual-fuel switching supply unit and the temperature control feedback unit are connected by signals.
