Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of blast furnace equipment, in particular to a blast furnace gas shut-off valve with improved positioning accuracy. Background Art

[0002] The gas shut-off valve is a gravity dust removal device for the raw gas system of the blast furnace. It is a device used to block the gas source of the gas storage tank. It is normally open when the blast furnace is in normal production, so that the gas can pass through and enter the gas purification system. When the blast furnace is under maintenance, it is closed to separate the gas system from the blast furnace so that the blast furnace or the gas system can be safely inspected. Therefore, the valve is required to be able to be cut off quickly and safely to avoid gas poisoning and explosion accidents. The gas shut-off valve must have the characteristics of reasonable design, reliable operation, rapid switching and good sealing.

[0003] When the blast furnace is in normal production, the electric winch lifts the several-ton shut-off valve cover by pulling the wire rope, and the specific stroke is controlled by the main controller connected to the winch reducer. However, because the wire rope is deformed due to long-term force, although the rotation angle of the main controller remains unchanged, the shut-off valve stroke will eventually change due to the deformation of the wire rope. As a result, every time the blast furnace is shut down for maintenance, one operator has to confirm the valve stroke on site, and one operator has to open and close the valve, which is unsafe. At the same time, the electrician has to readjust the main controller. Utility Model Content
