Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of smelting, in particular to a metallurgical slag layer thickness detection device and a metallurgical furnace system. Background Art

[0002] The molten pool in the furnace is divided into two layers. The upper layer is the slag layer formed after the material is melted, and the lower layer is the molten metal layer. The thickness of the slag layer determines the discharge timing of the slag and metal. On the top of the high-temperature furnace, the sensor needs to be manually operated. The detection hole of the furnace is opened, the sensor is inserted and then taken out, and the thickness of the slag layer is measured by manually observing and recording the values.

[0003] After searching, it was found that the publication number is CN219776333U, and the name is Metallurgical Slag Layer Thickness Detection Device and Metallurgical Furnace System. The application proposes that manual measurement requires the detection sensor to be operated in a high temperature environment, which is dangerous. Manual measurement and recording will result in differences and inaccuracies. The labor intensity of operation and maintenance personnel is high, and there are certain safety risks. The slag thickness is obtained by taking photos of the attachment rods with an industrial camera, and then performing computer analysis and calculation to obtain the slag thickness, which is safer. However, in actual use, it is necessary to establish a computer analysis and processing system that matches the industrial camera. Although the measurement method is detected, the system research and development and equipment costs are high, the calculation is relatively complicated, and it is not simple and efficient enough, and further improvements can be made. At the same time, the application uses a vibrator to clean the slag, and the vibrator does not vibrate comprehensively, making it difficult to ensure the complete detachment of the slag, and the vibration generated by the vibrator is also likely to affect the stability of the structure, which can also be further improved.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Utility Model Content

A hydraulic rod 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom side wall of the door frame 9, and a scraper ring 10 is fixedly installed on the other end of the piston rod of the hydraulic rod 11, and the bottom surface of the scraper ring 10 is in sliding contact with the top surface of the furnace roof 1. When the slag thickness is detected, the screw lifter 3 drives the connecting screw rod 4 to descend, thereby driving the attachment rod 2 to move down through the detection hole 8 and enter the molten metal, and the slag is attached to the surface of the attachment rod 2. Subsequently, the screw lifter 3 drives the connecting screw rod 4 to move upward, pulling the attachment rod 2 out. After the attachment rod 2 is reset, the wide-angle camera 6 shoots the attachment rod 2 and the ruler 5. The slag thickness can be directly measured by directly comparing the slag attachment height measured by the ruler 5, which saves the trouble of image processing and calculation, makes the detection more intuitive and reliable, and the structure is simpler and more practical.

[0028] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the scraper ring 10 is the same as the outer diameter of the attachment rod 2, and the scraper ring 10 is distributed on both sides of the attachment rod 2, and the scraper ring 10 is a semi-circular ring structure, wherein the scraper ring 10 is made of steel, and the hardness of the scraper ring 10 is greater than the hardness of the attachment rod 2.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] When the slag thickness is detected, the screw lift 3 drives the connecting screw 4 to descend, thereby driving the attachment rod 2 to move downward through the detection hole 8 and into the molten metal, and the slag adheres to the surface of the attachment rod 2. Subsequently, the screw lift 3 drives the connecting screw 4 to move upward, pulling the attachment rod 2 out. After the attachment rod 2 is reset, the wide-angle camera 6 shoots the attachment rod 2 and the ruler 5. The slag thickness can be directly measured by directly comparing the slag attachment height measured by the ruler 5, which saves the trouble of image processing and calculation, and the detection is more intuitive and reliable. The structure is also simpler and more practical. At the same time, when repeated inspection is needed, the staff can start the extension of the hydraulic rod 11 to push the inner wall of the scraper ring 10 to abut against the outer wall of the attachment rod 2. When the screw lifter 3 drives the attachment rod 2 to move downward, the inner wall of the scraper ring 10 can scrape off the slag attached to the surface of the attachment rod 2 to complete the rapid cleaning. The scraper ring 10 is used to scrape the slag, which avoids the noise and vibration caused by hammering vibration, is more stable and reliable, and at the same time, the cleaning of the attachment rod 2 is more comprehensive and cleaner, thereby improving work efficiency.
