Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of metallurgical special machinery, in particular to a ladle hydraulic lifting device and a ladle hydraulic lifting system. Background Art

[0002] When the RH vacuum refining device is refining molten steel, the immersion tube needs to be inserted into the molten steel in the ladle. After the treatment, the immersion tube needs to be separated from the molten steel and the ladle, and there needs to be a certain distance of relative movement between the ladle and the immersion tube. At present, most RH vacuum refining devices use a ladle lifting device to lift and lower the ladle. During the treatment, the ladle car and the ladle are lifted up by the hydraulic lifting device installed under the treatment position for treatment; after the treatment, the hydraulic lifting device descends and lowers the ladle and the ladle car onto the ladle trolley track.

[0003] The existing ladle lifting equipment has the disadvantage that a deep pit must be dug under each processing position to install the ladle lifting equipment; when the RH vacuum refining treatment is carried out, the ladle trolley must stay at the processing position, which restricts the steelmaking process layout and ladle turnover. Since the ladle lifting equipment is installed in a deep pit below the processing position, the equipment may be damaged when a steel leakage accident occurs. The hydraulic lifting device of this ladle has a complex structure, high cost, difficult repair and maintenance, and there are safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a lifting protection sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the lifting cylinder, a lifting guide sleeve is fixedly installed on the sling frame, and the lifting protection sleeve is sleeved inside the lifting guide sleeve and is slidably connected to the lifting guide sleeve.

[0010] A ladle hydraulic lifting system is based on the above-mentioned ladle hydraulic lifting device. The ladle hydraulic lifting system includes a hydraulic accumulator and a high-frequency proportional valve, a differential circuit, and a constant-pressure variable pump. The hydraulic accumulator is arranged on the control oil circuit of the high-frequency proportional valve. The high-frequency proportional valve is connected to the constant-pressure variable pump.

[0013] The utility model discloses a hydraulic lifting device for a ladle, which adopts an improved hydraulic lifting system. The traditional hydraulic lifting system adopts a synchronous motor to realize the synchronization of multiple hydraulic cylinders, but the motor has serious loss, high failure rate and cumulative error. This hydraulic lifting system adopts a high-frequency proportional valve to adjust the four hydraulic lifting cylinders to achieve a maximum synchronization error of 10mm. It can adjust multiple hydraulic lifting cylinders according to position detection to achieve synchronization, avoid cumulative errors and realize automatic control. A differential circuit is used to realize low-pressure and large flow in a rodless cavity, which reduces the flow requirement for the pump and reduces costs. The pump adopts a constant pressure variable pump with stepless pressure regulation to achieve matching of the pump's output flow and load. The pump pressure can be adjusted under different load conditions, avoiding energy waste and reducing heat. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a ladle hydraulic lifting device includes: a ladle hanger, a mounting support 31, and a lifting cylinder 25.

[0025] The mounting support 31 is fixedly mounted on the device platform. The device platform is a fixedly arranged building. In other embodiments, the mounting support 31 can also be fixedly mounted on the steel structure of the factory building.

[0026] The ladle hanger comprises a hanger frame 32 , a plate hook 35 , an automatic hooking cylinder 26 , a guide wheel 33 and a guide frame 34 .

[0027] In this embodiment, the ladle hanger is provided in two groups, the two groups of ladle hangers are arranged in parallel with each other, and the two groups of ladle hangers are respectively used to lift the trunnions on both sides of the ladle. The mounting brackets 31 and the lifting cylinders 25 are both provided in four groups, and the four groups of mounting brackets 31 and the lifting cylinders 25 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the two groups of hanger frames 32. That is, each group of ladle hangers is lifted by two groups of lifting cylinders 25, and the two groups of lifting cylinders 25 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the group of ladle hangers, so that the ladle hangers are lifted stably.

[0028] The cylinder end of the lifting cylinder 25 is rotatably connected to the mounting support 31 via a pin, and the piston end of the lifting cylinder 25 is rotatably connected to the hanger frame 32 .

[0029] The guide wheels 33 are installed on the periphery of the hanger frame 32 , and the guide frames 34 are fixedly arranged on both sides of the hanger frame 32 . The guide wheels 33 move up and down along the guide frames 34 .

[0030] In particular, in this embodiment, the angle between the four groups of guide frames 34 is 90°, and the axis of each guide wheel 33 is perpendicular to the axis of the lifted ladle. This arrangement allows the guide wheel 33 to be radially stressed, reducing the shaking of the ladle when it is lifted.

[0031] The upper end of the plate hook 35 is rotatably connected to the middle of the hanger frame 32, the cylinder end of the automatic hook cylinder 26 is rotatably connected to the hanger frame 32, and the piston end of the automatic hook cylinder 26 is rotatably connected to the middle of the plate hook 35. The plate hook 35 is rotated relative to the hanger frame 32 by the extension and retraction of the automatic hook cylinder 26, so as to realize the connection and disconnection of the plate hook 35 with the ladle trunnion.

[0032] A lifting protection sleeve 36 is sleeved on the outer side of the lifting cylinder 26, and a lifting guide sleeve 37 is fixedly installed on the sling frame 32.

The hot molten steel in the ladle bakes the lifting cylinder and easily causes damage to the lifting cylinder 26. In this embodiment, the lifting protection sleeve 36 is provided to play a role of heat insulation protection. After the lifting guide sleeve 37 is lifted upward to the platform of the resistance device, the lifting guide sleeve 37 plays a role of limiting, preventing the sling frame 32 from being further lifted upward.

[0033] The working process of the ladle hydraulic lifting device is as follows:

[0034] 1. The ladle car transports the ladle to the processing position;

[0035] 2. The hydraulic lifting system drives the lifting cylinder 26 to drive the ladle hanger to descend to the lower limit position, and the automatic hook cylinder 25 works to put the plate hook 35 in a vertical position;

[0036] 3. When the hook of the plate hook 35 contacts the trunnion of the ladle, the ladle hoist starts to lift the ladle to the specified position of the process for vacuum treatment;

[0037] 4. After the processing is completed, the ladle hanger falls down, the ladle is placed on the ladle car, the automatic hook cylinder 25 works, the unhooking is completed, the ladle car leaves, and a working cycle is completed.

[0038] like Figure 4-5 As shown, a specific embodiment of the above-mentioned ladle hydraulic lifting device is shown. In this embodiment, two sets of the above-mentioned ladle hydraulic lifting devices are included.
