Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cold rolling coating equipment, and in particular relates to a sealing structure for a furnace nose flange. Background Art

[0002] The furnace nose is connected to the upper equipment by flange connection, and the flange connection surface is a plane. In the galvanizing process, the main purpose of the furnace nose head is to protect the strip steel and guide it into the zinc pot. The inside of the furnace nose is in an oxygen-free state and is very sensitive to oxygen penetrating from the outside. Quality problems such as galvanized sheet leakage are caused by poor sealing at the furnace nose head. The flange of the furnace nose head and the flange of the flow channel section are flat-surface combined and sealed, and are fastened with bolts through holes. The furnace nose head is installed at the end of the annealing furnace and extends into the zinc / aluminum pot. The temperature can reach above 600°C during normal operation. Currently, copper sealing pads are used as seals.

[0003] Long-term high temperature environment causes the furnace nose flange to bend and deform. When replacing the furnace nose, it is difficult to install. At the same time, the copper gasket cannot compensate for the flange deformation, resulting in leakage, causing air to enter the furnace nose, causing product dezincification and degradation. For this reason, an improved design for the furnace nose flange sealing structure is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a sealing structure for a furnace nose flange to solve the above-mentioned problems in the background technology.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A furnace nose flange sealing structure comprises a first flange surface arranged on the top of the furnace nose, a nitrogen groove is formed on the first flange surface, and also comprises sealing components arranged on both sides of the nitrogen groove, the sealing components comprise a polytetrafluoroethylene sealing pad and a ceramic fiber rope, the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing pad is located on the outside of the nitrogen groove, and the ceramic fiber rope is located on the inside of the nitrogen groove.

[0007] By adopting the above structural design, a nitrogen tank is opened on the first flange surface, and nitrogen can be injected into the nitrogen tank when the upper equipment is connected to form a nitrogen seal and cooling effect, and a polytetrafluoroethylene gasket is set for sealing, and a ceramic fiber rope is installed on the inner side of the nitrogen tank to isolate the high-temperature gas in the furnace, so as to achieve the effect of lowering the temperature.

[0008] Furthermore, the nitrogen tank is in a closed ring shape.

[0009] Furthermore, the first flange surface is provided with a first installation groove for installing a ceramic fiber rope and a second installation groove for installing a polytetrafluoroethylene sealing gasket. The first flange surface is also provided with a bolt hole, and the bolt hole is located outside the second installation groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the depth of the second mounting groove is less than the thickness of the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing gasket.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a copper gasket, which is coaxially arranged with the bolt hole and is fastened by bolts to ensure that the ceramic fiber rope and the polytetrafluoroethylene sealing gasket are within the compression range when the flange is fastened.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a second flange surface connected to the first flange surface by bolts, and a nitrogen injection hole is opened on the second flange surface. When the first flange surface and the second flange surface are connected, the nitrogen injection hole is connected to the nitrogen tank.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] A nitrogen tank is set on the first flange surface. When the upper equipment is connected, nitrogen can be injected into the nitrogen tank to form a nitrogen seal and cooling effect. A polytetrafluoroethylene gasket is set for sealing. At the same time, a ceramic fiber rope is installed on the inner side of the nitrogen tank to isolate the high-temperature gas in the furnace. The effect of lowering the temperature is achieved. By lowering the flange temperature and eliminating the deformation of the flange due to high temperature, the purpose of improving the efficiency of replacing the furnace nose and ensuring the flange sealing is achieved.
