Description

[0002] The upper trough of the RH furnace is one of the key components of the RH vacuum refining furnace. It usually refers to the upper area of ​​the vacuum trough. Together with the middle and lower troughs, it forms the main structure of the furnace body. It is mainly located at the top of the equipment and is directly connected to the hot bending pipe. It is used to contain molten steel and participate in the vacuum circulation refining process.

[0003] However, the existing RH refining furnace's upper trough and alloy charging port are subjected to the scouring of molten steel at temperatures above 1600℃ and the impact of alloy materials for a long time. The traditional masonry method has the following defects: single-layer refractory bricks are prone to cracking and peeling, especially in the alloy charging port area, where frequent thermal shocks result in a lifespan of less than 3 months, thus causing poor structural stability. The gap between the insulation layer and the working layer is not strictly controlled (>3mm), and the furnace shell temperature exceeds 250℃, resulting in serious heat loss and reduced utilization. Furthermore, the connection between the alloy charging port and the upper trough of the RH furnace is prone to material accumulation and blockage, thus reducing the smoothness of material feeding and reducing the feeding efficiency.

The following describes embodiments of the invention based on its overall structure.

[0038] Please see Figures 1-8In this embodiment of the invention, a multi-layer composite masonry structure for the upper trough of an RH furnace includes an upper trough body 1. The upper trough body 1 is provided with a brick support plate 101, an insulation layer, a lightweight brick 103, a permanent layer 104, and a working layer 105 from the outside to the inside. An upper trough flange 106 is provided on the top of the upper trough body 1. A fiber felt 107 is provided on the outside of the upper trough flange 106. A feeding pipe 2 is provided on the top of one side of the upper trough body 1. The feeding end of the feeding pipe 2 is an alloy feeding port. A connection point 201 is provided at the connection end between the feeding pipe 2 and the upper trough body 1. A positioning wooden strip 202 is provided at the feeding end of the feeding pipe 2.

[0039] The insulation layer, from top to bottom, includes calcium silicate board 102 and lightweight high-alumina insulating bricks, and the number of lightweight high-alumina insulating bricks is eleven. The permanent layer 104 includes magnesia-chromium bricks, and the number of magnesia-chromium bricks is eleven.

[0040] The bottom of the feeding pipe 2 is provided with an movable hole 204 extending into the interior of the feeding pipe 2 near the upper tank body 1 of the RH furnace. A protective cover 3 is provided on the outside of the feeding pipe 2. A vibrating plate 301 extending into the movable hole 204 is provided inside the protective cover 3. A motor 302 is installed at one end of the feeding pipe 2. A gear 303 is provided at the output end of the motor 302.

[0053] Step 3: Alloy orifice centering method;

[0057] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1 to 5 The center offset of the alloy feed port is less than 5mm.

[0058] The working principle of this invention is:

[0059] Phase 1: Basic structure construction includes the installation of support brick slab 101 and the construction of the insulation layer. The installation of support brick slab 101 involves welding support brick slab 101 (size 160mm×15mm, flatness ≤0.5mm / m) at 380mm above the upper surface of the fourth layer support brick slab. The vertical reinforcement is fully welded on both sides, and the welding strength must withstand 3 times the masonry load. The construction of the insulation layer involves bonding 25mm calcium silicate board 102 to the surface of support brick slab 101 with high alumina fire mortar, with gaps ≤2mm. Lightweight high alumina heat-insulating bricks (WY / WY-10 type) are then laid vertically. The first layer is processed with 1 / 2 brick length to achieve staggered joints, with mortar joints ≤1.5mm and verticality deviation ≤1°.

[0060] The second stage: the construction of permanent layer and working layer is carried out simultaneously, including the construction of permanent layer (104) and working layer (105). The construction of permanent layer (104) is carried out by laying directly bonded magnesia bricks (WB / WB-10 type) on the third layer brick support plate 101, and the magnesia ash + brine wet masonry is used with mortar joints ≤1.5mm. When the working layer (105) is built, the bottom layer is laid with semi-rebonded magnesia bricks (BTS-1) and the wooden wedges are adjusted to form a 25mm expansion joint between the middle groove. The middle layer is laid with 25 / 20 and 25 / 60 bricks in 3 layers with dry masonry staggered joints ≤1mm. The gap between permanent layer (104) and working layer (105) is filled with magnesia ash.

[0061] The third stage: Modular construction of the alloy feeding port includes positioning of composite bricks, integration of chutes, and protection of infrared probes. The positioning of composite bricks involves cutting and pre-laying 8 BTH-T bricks with height matching the design value, and implementing a three-point centering method for positioning with a center deviation of ≤1mm. Two layers of wet-laid BTH-J composite bricks are used with a misalignment of ≤0.3mm. The chutes are integrated by laying 30mm calcium silicate board on the sloping steel structure, bonding it with fire mortar, and laying BTH-B bricks to form an arc base surface. The highest point is filled with magnesium chromium ramming material. BTH-A chute bricks are installed coaxially with BTH-J composite bricks with a hole diameter of 416±0.5mm. The infrared probe protection involves processing bricks on the 21st working layer 105 to wrap the probe, and filling the gaps with magnesium chromium fire mortar to ensure airtightness.

[0062] Phase 4: Closure and Expansion Control includes the top structure and expansion joint treatment. The closure of the top structure involves attaching only calcium silicate board 102 to the insulation layer after the 27th layer, filling the gap between it and the working layer 105 with rammed earth material, and building the top layer with BTS-2 processed bricks. The surface flatness is ≤1mm / 2m. The expansion joint treatment involves leaving a 55mm gap between the top surface of the working layer 105 and the upper groove flange 106, and filling it in layers with ceramic fiber felt 107, while the compression rate is ≥30%.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
