The temperature of molten iron out of the furnace is 1350-1450 degrees, and the maximum working temperature can reach 1600 degrees. As a high-temperature heating equipment, there are high equipment and safety risks during operation. Generally, the medium frequency furnace is connected to a cooling water system. During the pouring and smelting process, the furnace lining status and the cooling water system status are observed at regular intervals, and the number of inspections is increased under special circumstances. The inspection personnel work frequently and the labor intensity is high, but they still cannot achieve uninterrupted and continuous monitoring of the equipment status. In addition, in the early stage of cable heating and furnace lining damage, the temperature change is not significant, and ordinary inspections cannot be discovered in time, and the danger cannot be eliminated in the bud. Once an abnormal condition such as a leaking furnace (circulating water leakage) occurs between two inspections, it is easy to miss the opportunity for emergency disposal, resulting in serious consequences such as personal injury and property loss. Therefore, a medium frequency furnace operation safety monitoring device is needed to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
