Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of metallurgical equipment, and in particular relates to a fast-changing conduit for a wire feeding machine. Background Art
[0002] The wire feeder is one of the main equipments that are indispensable in the refining process outside the furnace. In the smelting process of the LF ladle furnace, the wire feeder deoxidizes the steel slag by feeding aluminum wire to create a reducing atmosphere to create conditions for the desulfurization of molten steel, and feeds calcium wire to treat aluminum-killed steel to improve the castability of molten steel. The wire feeder is generally composed of a machine body and a guide tube. The wire directly enters the guide tube through the guide wheel. In the actual production and use process, it may encounter difficulties in threading, wire jamming, and the guide tube is thin and easy to bend and deform. The wire feeder needs to replace the guide tube frequently, which affects the production rhythm.
[0003] The above-mentioned existing wire feeding machine conduit has the following disadvantages: the replaceable conduit has the same diameter as the elbow, and the two are connected by a sleeve. Since the wire is hard, it is easy to get stuck at the conduit interface at both ends, which makes it very difficult to change the wire. It is easy to cause wire jamming and wire pile-up in production, affecting the processing speed and causing a tight production rhythm. In addition, the current steel liquid calcium treatment process mainly uses the wire feeding machine to feed the calcium wire into the steel liquid through the conduit. If the conduit is close to the steel liquid surface during the calcium feeding process, it is easy to burn and deform.
[0004] In view of the above factors, a wire feeding machine quick-change guide tube is specially designed to facilitate the operator to quickly replace the guide tube and solve the problem of wire jamming and wire piling, while extending the service life of the guide tube. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a fast-changing guide tube for a wire feeding machine, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: a quick-change wire feeder conduit, comprising a wire feeder conduit, the wire feeder conduit comprising a first connecting pipe section and a second connecting pipe section, the first connecting pipe section and the second connecting pipe section being connected in a detachable manner;
[0007] The first connecting pipe section is a curved conduit, and the second connecting pipe section connected along the end of the curved conduit is a straight conduit. The inner diameter of the second connecting pipe section is larger than the outer diameter of the curved conduit, and the second connecting pipe section is slidably sleeved on the lower end of the first connecting pipe section;
[0008] The first connecting pipe section and the second connecting pipe section are connected to the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece in a detachable manner or by welding, and a steel wire is connected between the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece.
[0009] Furthermore, the distance between the first connecting member and the second connecting member is one third or one half of the length of the second connecting pipe section.
[0010] Furthermore, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are nut structures or connecting rings made of metal material.
[0011] Furthermore, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are symmetrically arranged along the circumference of the first connecting pipe section and the second connecting pipe section.
[0012] Furthermore, the cross-section of the end of the second connecting pipe section is a conical surface structure, and a through hole is opened at the end of the second connecting pipe section.
[0013] Furthermore, the second connecting pipe section is a double-layer cavity structure, and the distance between the double-layer cavities of the second connecting pipe section is greater than the length of the screw provided on the second connecting piece.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer thickness of the second connecting pipe section is greater than the inner thickness, and a casting material is arranged in the double-layer cavity of the second connecting pipe section.
[0015] Furthermore, the ends of the first connecting pipe section and the second connecting pipe section are detachably connected to the first connecting member and the second connecting member by bolts.
[0016] A method for quickly replacing a wire feeding machine guide tube comprises the following steps;
[0017] The second connecting pipe section is arranged at the end of the first connecting pipe section of the wire feeding machine, and the first connecting pipe section and the second connecting pipe section are connected to the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece in a detachable manner or by welding;
[0018] The first connecting member and the second connecting member are fastened by an iron wire, and the wire passes through the first connecting member and out along a through hole opened at the end of the second connecting pipe section;
[0019] The steel wires on the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece are removed to replace the first connecting pipe section and the second connecting pipe section.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] The utility model can quickly replace the conduit, which is arranged at the end of the curved conduit of the wire feeding machine, removes the original sleeve at the end of the curved conduit, and replaces it with a straight conduit with an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the curved conduit. Nuts or connecting rings are welded to the ends of the curved conduit and the straight conduit, which are fastened by iron wire and can be quickly replaced. The probability of wire jamming is reduced and the speed of fault handling is improved.
[0022] In order to increase the durability of the second connecting pipe section in the form of castables in the use state, the outer thickness of the second connecting pipe section is greater than the inner thickness, and the castables are arranged in the double-layer cavity of the second connecting pipe section.
[0023] The utility model simplifies the existing equipment and changes the specifications of the replaceable catheter, thereby greatly reducing the probability of wire jamming and improving production efficiency.

The replacement speed of the catheter is faster than that of the original catheter, and the threading success rate is high. The original operation requiring two people to cooperate can be changed to easy operation by one person, thereby greatly reducing labor intensity. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The first connecting pipe section 2 and the second connecting pipe section 3 are connected to the first connecting member 4 and the second connecting member 5 in a detachable manner or by welding, and a steel wire (not shown in the figure) is connected between the first connecting member 4 and the second connecting member 5.
[0035] In order to facilitate the sliding sleeve to improve the wire feeding effect in the use state, the distance between the first connecting member 4 and the second connecting member 5 is one third or one half of the length of the second connecting pipe section 3.
[0036] In order to facilitate connection in use, the first connecting member 4 and the second connecting member 5 are nut structures or connecting rings made of metal materials.
[0037] In order to ensure the overall stability in use, the first connecting member 4 and the second connecting member 5 are symmetrically arranged along the circumference of the first connecting pipe section 2 and the second connecting pipe section 3 .
[0038] The second form of the first connecting member 4 and the second connecting member 5 is single-sided up and down fixing.
[0039] In order to facilitate better wire threading and feeding in use, the end cross-section of the second connecting pipe section 3 is a conical surface structure 7, and a through hole 8 is opened at the end of the second connecting pipe section 3.
[0040] In order to facilitate detachable connection in use, the second connecting pipe section 3 is a double-layer cavity structure, and the distance between the double-layer cavities of the second connecting pipe section 3 is greater than the length of the screw provided on the second connecting member 5.

[0044] On the premise that the second connecting pipe section is not damaged, the first connecting member 4 and the second connecting member 5 are deformed under high temperature and can be disassembled and replaced.
[0045] A method for quickly replacing a wire feeding machine guide tube comprises the following steps;

After implementation, 6*10*2=120 meters of calcium wire can be saved every day. Calculated based on 300 days of production per year, 300*120*0.42*7500 / 1000=113,400 (million yuan). The replacement of catheters is reduced from two per week to one per month, which can save 7 catheters, 84 catheters per year, about 4,200 yuan, and a total economic benefit of 117,600 yuan per year.
