[0015] The present invention will be further described below by way of examples with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Refer to the attached Figure 1 A LF refining furnace high carbon steel sample air cooling device comprises a refining furnace platform 1, an air jet tube bracket 2, a buckle 3, an air jet tube 4, a nozzle 5, a sample bucket bracket 6 and a sample bucket 7. The air jet tube bracket 2 and the sample bucket bracket 6 are respectively fixed on the refining furnace platform 1, the air jet tube 4 is fixed on the air jet tube bracket 2 by the buckle 3, and one end of the air jet tube 4 is connected to the nozzle 5; the sample bucket 7 is rotatably connected to the sample bucket bracket 6, and the opening of the sample bucket 7 is arranged opposite to the nozzle 5 of the air jet tube 4.
[0017] In this embodiment, refer to the attached Figure 1 The sample bucket 7 is trumpet-shaped and is rotatably connected to the sample bucket bracket 6 via a rotating shaft 9. After the sample bucket 7 is rotated to a horizontal position, the end with a larger opening corresponds to the nozzle 5 of the air injection pipe 4, and the end with a smaller opening is welded with a mesh screen to prevent the nozzle 5 from blowing off the sample due to excessive airflow.
[0018] A proximity limit switch 8 is also fixed on the refining furnace platform 1, and the sample bucket 7 is close to the limit switch 8 after rotating to a horizontal position.
[0019] The operator uses an aluminum-free sampler to take samples from the furnace. The aluminum-free sampler is a commonly used sampling tool in this field. When sampling, the depth of the sampler is inserted into the molten steel is 450-550cm, and the sample is kept for 5-8 seconds. After sampling, the stainless steel sample box at the front end of the sampler is broken, and the molten steel sample is taken out to facilitate clamping with tweezers. The sample is placed in the sample bucket 7, and the sample bucket 7 is rotated and tilted downward to a certain position close to the limit switch 8. The solenoid valve of the air valve station is controlled to open when the limit switch 8 is approached, and the air is purged and slowly cooled through the metal jet pipe 4 and the nozzle 5 to the molten steel sample in the sample bucket 7. After the sample is cooled, the operator takes the sample, and the sample bucket 7 is away from the limit switch 8, and the solenoid valve is closed to stop purging.
