Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rail thermite welding, and more specifically to a crucible cover for igniting rail thermite flux. Background Art

[0002] Rail aluminothermic welding is to put the aluminothermic flux made of aluminum powder, iron oxide and other alloy additives in a special reaction crucible, and ignite it with a high-temperature match to trigger the aluminothermic reaction. During the reaction, a large amount of hot molten alloy additives are released, and they form a liquid with the iron generated by the reaction. Due to its high density, it sinks to the bottom of the crucible, and the slag generated by the reaction is lighter and floats on the top. In a very short time, the high-temperature aluminothermic liquid melts the self-melting plug at the bottom of the crucible, and is cast into the sand mold with the same size as the rail and the closed cavity formed by the locally preheated rail to be welded. At the same time, the aluminothermic liquid itself acts as a filler metal, crystallizes together with the molten rail, and cools to weld the two sections of the rail into a whole.

[0003] Aluminothermic welding is a commonly used welding method for on-site welding of rails. Aluminothermic welding requires the use of aluminothermic flux, and the high temperature generated by igniting the flux is used to melt the rails to achieve welding. However, the existing aluminothermic welding method requires manual ignition of the flux by igniting a high-temperature match, which is cumbersome and poses safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the crucible cover for igniting rail thermite flux provided by the utility model comprises a crucible cover body 1, a sandy isolation ring 2 and an ignitable ignition block 3, wherein: the shape of the lower edge of the crucible cover body 1 is used to adapt to the shape of the crucible and to tightly cover the top of the crucible, and the crucible cover body 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 4; the sandy isolation ring 2 is installed in the first mounting hole 4, the sandy isolation ring 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 5, the ignition block 3 is installed in the second mounting hole 5, and the second mounting hole 5 is communicated with the hollow cavity of the crucible.

[0025] Specifically, the lower edge of the crucible cover body 1 may be in the shape of a barrel to fit the crucible in the prior art; and the first mounting hole 4 may be a through hole.

[0026] The utility model provides a crucible cover for igniting thermite flux for rails, comprising a crucible cover body 1, a sandy isolation ring 2 and an ignitable ignition block 3, wherein the ignition block 3 is installed in the sandy isolation ring 2, and the sandy isolation ring 2 is installed in the crucible cover body 1. When in use, the ignition block 3 is ignited, and the high-temperature liquid generated by the ignition block 3 is dripped onto the thermite flux in the crucible, thereby igniting the thermite flux for rails in the crucible, simplifying the operation process of igniting the thermite flux, and realizing the ignition of the thermite flux for rails safely and stably.

[0027] In one embodiment of the utility model, the sand isolation ring 2 is made of raw materials including quartz sand and 6wt% to 10wt% of sodium water glass. It is clear to those skilled in the art that additives such as iron oxide or lithium carbonate may also be added as appropriate. The composition of sodium water glass is prior art and may be the composition disclosed in the article "Experimental Study and Failure Analysis of Sand Mold Hardening Process for Aluminum Thermit Welding of Rails", "China Foundry Equipment and Technology", Vol. 56, No. 6, 2021. The quartz sand may be high-purity quartz sand with a SiO2 content exceeding 98%.

[0028] In one embodiment of the utility model, the sandy isolation ring 2 is made by mixing and grinding raw materials including quartz sand and 6wt% to 10wt% of sodium water glass in a grinding wheel type sand mixer, which improves the convenience of producing the sandy isolation ring 2. The grinding wheel type sand mixer can be a SHN type grinding wheel type sand mixer.

[0029] In one embodiment of the utility model, the ignition block 3 is composed of aluminothermic flux, which is composed of 65-71wt% of iron oxide, 17-19wt% of aluminum powder and the remainder of alloy additives. The composition ratio of the aluminothermic flux is the prior art, and can be the composition disclosed in the patent with publication number CN 102029486A, entitled: Aluminothermic flux for high hardness rail and welding method thereof.

[0030] In one embodiment of the utility model, the alloy additive is selected from ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochrome, ferrovanadium, ferromolybdenum, and rare earth alloy. The composition of the alloy additive is prior art and is also disclosed in the patent with publication number CN 102029486A, entitled: High-hardness rail aluminothermic flux and welding method thereof.

[0031] In one embodiment of the utility model, the ignition block 3 is directly formed and dried in the sandy isolation ring 2, and the two are bonded together. After the ignition block 3 is formed in the sandy isolation ring 2, it is dried again, which has a high temperature resistance effect, prevents the ignition block 3 from adhering to the first mounting hole 4 during high temperature reaction, and improves the convenience of using the crucible cover for igniting the rail thermite flux.
