Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-temperature equipment protection technology in the metallurgical industry, specifically relating to a heat radiation isolation system for a heating furnace door and its application. Background Technology
[0002] In continuous casting production lines, the following technical bottlenecks exist in the area connecting the heating furnace outlet and the casting machine: Severe equipment wear: The furnace temperature reaches 1050℃, and the furnace door suffers from sudden heating and cooling shocks due to frequent bursts of the horizontal roller cooling water pipes (an average of 7 bursts per year), resulting in an average of 4 alloy furnace doors being scrapped annually. Uncontrolled heat radiation conduction: Despite the addition of water-cooled fireproof plates, the surface temperature of the casting machine still reaches 90℃, forcing equipment inspections to require process cooling (single shutdown ≥ 2 hours). Existing solutions employ enhanced cooling structures, but cannot block the heat radiation conduction path. Adding heat insulation screens worsens the temperature uniformity of the furnace. The fundamental contradiction lies in the failure to reconstruct the spatial relationship between the heat source and the protected equipment.
[0003] In view of the above factors, a heating furnace door thermal radiation isolation system and its application are provided for high-temperature protection in the interface area between the heating furnace and the casting machine equipment in a continuous casting production line. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heating furnace door thermal radiation isolation system and its application to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a heating furnace door thermal radiation isolation system, comprising a high-temperature protection component installed in the interface area between the heating furnace and the casting machine equipment in a continuous casting production line, wherein the high-temperature protection component includes a first furnace door and a second furnace door arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first furnace door;
[0006] The first furnace door and the second furnace door, which are arranged side by side at intervals, form a double barrier structure.
[0007] Furthermore, the distance between the first furnace door and the second furnace door, which are arranged side by side at intervals, is 1000-2000mm.
[0008] Furthermore, the distance between the first furnace door and the second furnace door arranged in parallel is 1200mm, and the thickness of the air insulation layer is ≥800mm.
[0009] Furthermore, the first furnace door remains normally closed with a sealing pressure ≥0.1MPa, and the second furnace door is raised and lowered using a pneumatic opening and closing device. The pneumatic opening and closing uses a cylinder with a stroke of 800mm and a response time ≤3s.
[0010] Furthermore, the method also includes a fire baffle plate installed at the outlet of the heating furnace in the continuous casting production line. The fire baffle plate includes a metal frame, which includes two horizontal sides and two vertical sides. Multiple horizontal fire baffle plates arranged in the same direction as the horizontal sides are connected between the two vertical sides.
[0011] Furthermore, multiple longitudinal fire baffles arranged in the same direction as the longitudinal side are connected between the two transverse sides, and the multiple transverse fire baffles and multiple longitudinal fire baffles are arranged alternately to form a grid structure for fire blocking.
[0012] Furthermore, the baffle plate is fixed above the furnace opening of the heating furnace in the continuous casting production line, and the baffle plate is detachably connected to the furnace opening of the heating furnace in the continuous casting production line.
[0013] Furthermore, the fire baffle plate is detachably connected to the furnace opening of the heating furnace in the continuous casting production line by bolts.
[0014] The application of a thermal radiation isolation system for a heating furnace door includes the following steps:
[0015] Step 1: Spatial Reconstruction Construction: Install the second furnace door at a distance from the first furnace door, move the power distribution cabinet 1.5m south along the slide rail, and re-lay the high-temperature resistant cable. The high-temperature resistant cable model is YGC-F46R with a cross-sectional area of 35mm².
[0016] Step 2: Optimize the thermal system. Remove the original DN50 burner and install a DN80 heat-resistant alloy burner made of ZG40Cr25Ni20. Add a gas regulating valve with a diameter of G3 / 4” and flow characteristics as a percentage.
[0017] Step 3: Install a thermocouple (type K) 300mm above the furnace roller, connect it to the PLC controller, model S7-1500, and set the temperature threshold to 1030℃±10℃.
[0018] Step 4: Dual barrier system activation: The first furnace door remains normally closed with a sealing pressure ≥0.1MPa. The second furnace door is equipped with a pneumatic opening and closing device with a cylinder stroke of 800mm and a response time ≤3s.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0020] This invention utilizes a spatial reconstruction system to form a double-barrier structure with a first furnace door and a second furnace door arranged in parallel at intervals. This structure is suitable for high-temperature protection in the area where the heating furnace and casting machine meet in a continuous casting production line.
[0021] This invention improves heat-blocking efficiency, reducing the surface temperature of the casting machine from 90℃ to 40℃ (a reduction of 55.6%), and causing a 100% reduction in the incidence of thermal stress cracks in the furnace door (zero scrapping in 18 months after the modification).
[0022] This invention improves equipment lifespan, reducing furnace roller refractory wear from 16 pieces / year to 8 pieces / year (a 50% reduction) and bearing scrap rate from 21.5 sets / year to 8 sets / year (a 62.8% reduction). Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0031] like Figure 1-5As shown, a heating furnace door thermal radiation isolation system includes a high-temperature protection component 1 installed in the interface area between the heating furnace and the casting machine equipment in the continuous casting production line. The high-temperature protection component 1 includes a first furnace door 2 and a second furnace door 3 arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the first furnace door 2.
[0032] The first furnace door 2 and the second furnace door 3, which are arranged side by side and spaced apart, form a double barrier structure.
[0033] The distance between the first furnace door 2 and the second furnace door 3, which are arranged side by side, is 1000-2000mm.
[0034] The distance between the first furnace door 2 and the second furnace door 3, which are arranged side by side, is 1200mm, and the thickness of the air insulation layer is ≥800mm.
[0035] The above-mentioned double-barrier structure is formed by setting the first furnace door 2 and the second furnace door 3 arranged in parallel and spaced apart, which realizes heat blocking efficiency and improves the service life of the equipment.
[0036] The first furnace door 2 is kept closed with a sealing pressure ≥0.1MPa. The second furnace door 3 is raised and lowered by a pneumatic opening and closing device. The pneumatic opening and closing uses a cylinder with a stroke of 800mm and a response time ≤3s.
[0037] To facilitate primary heat blocking of the baffle plate 4 at the outlet of the heating furnace in the continuous casting production line during use, the system also includes a baffle plate 4 at the outlet of the heating furnace in the continuous casting production line. The baffle plate 4 includes a metal frame 5, which includes two horizontal sides 6 and two vertical sides 7. Multiple horizontal baffle plates 8 arranged in the same direction as the horizontal sides 6 are connected between the two vertical sides 7.
[0038] The two horizontal sides 6 are connected by multiple longitudinal fire baffles 9 arranged in the same direction as the vertical side 7. The multiple horizontal fire baffles 8 and the multiple longitudinal fire baffles 9 are arranged alternately to form a grid structure for fire blocking.
[0039] Multiple transverse fire baffles 8, which are arranged in the same direction as the transverse side 6, are connected between the two longitudinal sides 7 and are connected to one side of the fire baffle 4 by bolts or welding.
[0040] The two transverse sides 6 are connected by multiple longitudinal fire baffles 9 arranged in the same direction as the longitudinal side 7, which are connected to the other side of the fire baffle 4 by bolts or welding.
[0041] In order to facilitate the fire-blocking effect during use, the fire-blocking plate 4 is fixed above the furnace opening of the heating furnace in the continuous casting production line, and the fire-blocking plate 4 is detachably connected to the furnace opening of the heating furnace in the continuous casting production line.
[0042] Install thermocouple 10 300mm above the furnace roller. The thermocouple is of type K. The thermocouple 10 is electrically connected to PLC controller 11. PLC controller 11 is model S7-1500 and the set temperature threshold is 1030℃±10℃.
[0043] A temperature feedback mechanism was established by adding a type K thermocouple (measurement range 0-1200℃) in the furnace roller area. When the furnace temperature is below 1030℃, the firepower of burner #2 will be automatically increased.
[0044] To facilitate replacement during use, the fire baffle is detachably connected to the furnace opening of the continuous casting production line by bolts.
[0045] The application of a thermal radiation isolation system for a heating furnace door includes the following steps:
[0046] Step 1: Spatial Reconstruction Construction: Install the second furnace door at a distance from the first furnace door, move the power distribution cabinet 1.5m south along the slide rail, and re-lay the high-temperature resistant cable. The high-temperature resistant cable model is YGC-F46R with a cross-sectional area of 35mm².
[0047] Step 2: Optimize the thermal system. Remove the original DN50 burner and install a DN80 heat-resistant alloy burner made of ZG40Cr25Ni20. Add a gas regulating valve with a diameter of G3 / 4” and flow characteristics as a percentage.
[0048] Step 3: Install a thermocouple (type K) 300mm above the furnace roller, connect it to the PLC controller, model S7-1500, and set the temperature threshold to 1030℃±10℃.
[0049] Step 4: Dual barrier system activation: The first furnace door remains normally closed with a sealing pressure ≥0.1MPa. The second furnace door is equipped with a pneumatic opening and closing device with a cylinder stroke of 800mm and a response time ≤3s.
[0050] The furnace door thermal radiation isolation system is used for high-temperature protection in the area where the heating furnace and casting machine meet in the continuous casting production line.
