Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of iron and steel production, in particular to a device for balancing the water supply flow of soft water in a blast furnace. Background Art
[0002] In modern blast furnace cooling, a soft water closed-loop circulation system is generally adopted. The main supply pumps of the system are generally connected in parallel with two in use and one standby for water supply. A corresponding butterfly valve is installed on the water supply main pipe to adjust the water supply flow, and the adjustment of the flow is mainly carried out according to the technological requirements of the blast furnace. However, this method has the following disadvantages: when the valve opening control is less than 30%, the valve plate of the valve may be damaged due to uneven pressure, resulting in the complete closure of the valve plate, and then the system water supply is cut off, causing irreversible damage to the blast furnace cooling equipment and resulting in accidents. However, this valve cannot be replaced during one furnace campaign (because replacing the water supply main valve of the soft water closed-loop circulation must be carried out under the condition of water cut-off, and the blast furnace using the soft water closed-loop circulation cooling cannot be cut off during one furnace campaign). Content of the Utility Model
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for balancing the water supply flow of soft water in a blast furnace, which is convenient for adjusting the water supply flow when the butterfly valve opening is below 30%.
[0004] A device for balancing the water supply flow of soft water in a blast furnace includes: a return pipeline, a regulating valve is arranged on the return pipeline, the inlet of the return pipeline is communicated with the main pipeline downstream of the outlet of the one-way valve, and the outlet of the return pipeline is communicated with the main pipeline upstream of the inlet of the circulating water pump.
[0005] In one embodiment, two regulating valves are arranged on the return pipeline.
[0006] In one embodiment, the regulating valve is a gate valve of DN150.
[0007] In one embodiment, the inlet of the return pipeline is communicated with the main pipeline upstream of the water supply branch valve.
[0008] In one embodiment, the outlet of the return pipeline is communicated with the main pipeline downstream of the butterfly valve.
[0009] In one embodiment, the return pipeline is communicated with all three main supply pipelines with two in use and one standby.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the device for balancing the water supply flow of soft water in a blast furnace of the utility model are:
[0011] When it is inconvenient to adjust the flow rate by adjusting the butterfly valve 31, the opening degree of the regulating valve 41 is adjusted to regulate the water supply flow rate. For example, when the opening degree of the butterfly valve 31 is controlled to be less than 30%, the valve plate of the valve may be damaged due to uneven pressure. At this time, the opening degree of the butterfly valve 31 is maintained above 30%, and at the same time, the regulating valve 41 is opened, so that a part of the water supply at the outlet of the check valve 33 flows back to the inlet of the circulating water pump 32 through the return pipeline 40, so as to reduce the water supply volume and make the water supply volume drop below 30% of the opening degree of the butterfly valve. Then, by adjusting the opening degree of the regulating valve 41, the water supply volume can be adjusted below 30% of the opening degree of the butterfly valve 31.

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, it is a schematic structural diagram of an existing pipeline. The main pipeline includes main pipelines 30a, 30b, 30c with two in use and one standby. The return water of the blast furnace soft water converges into the return water main pipe 10. The main pipelines 31a, 31b, 31c are connected in parallel between the return water main pipe 10 and the water supply main pipe 20. A water supply main valve 35 is provided on the water supply main pipe 20. On the main pipeline 30a, a butterfly valve 31a, a circulating water pump 32a, a check valve 33a, and a water supply branch valve 34a are provided in sequence from upstream to downstream; on the main pipeline 30b, a butterfly valve 31b, a circulating water pump 32b, a check valve 33b, and a water supply branch valve 34b are provided in sequence from upstream to downstream; on the main pipeline 30c, a butterfly valve 31c, a circulating water pump 32c, a check valve 33c, and a water supply branch valve 34c are provided in sequence from upstream to downstream.
[0030] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, the device of the utility model for balancing the water supply flow of the blast furnace soft water includes: a return pipeline 40, on which a regulating valve 41 is provided. The inlet of the return pipeline 40 is connected to the main pipeline 30 downstream of the outlet of the check valve 33, and the outlet of the return pipeline 40 is connected to the main pipeline 30 upstream of the inlet of the circulating water pump 32. In the case where it is not convenient to adjust the flow rate by adjusting the butterfly valve 31, the water supply flow rate is adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the regulating valve 41. For example, when the opening degree of the butterfly valve 31 is controlled to be less than 30%, the valve plate of the valve may be damaged due to uneven pressure. At this time, the opening degree of the butterfly valve 31 is maintained above 30%, and at the same time, the regulating valve 41 is opened, so that a part of the water supply at the outlet of the check valve 33 flows back to the inlet of the circulating water pump 32 through the return pipeline 40, achieving the purpose of reducing the water supply volume so that the water supply volume is reduced to less than 30% of the opening degree of the butterfly valve. Then, by adjusting the opening degree of the regulating valve 41, the water supply volume can be adjusted below 30% of the opening degree of the butterfly valve 31. When the opening degree of the butterfly valve 31 is above 30%, the regulating valve 41 can be closed for normal water supply. The utility model adds a return pipeline 40, which does not affect the normal water supply, upgrades and transforms the existing equipment at a small cost, and is suitable for popularization on the existing equipment. The inlet of the return pipeline 40 is connected to the main pipeline 30 upstream of the water supply branch valve 34, maintaining the shut-off function of the water supply branch valve 34 for the main pipeline 30. The outlet of the return pipeline 40 is connected to the main pipeline 30 downstream of the butterfly valve 31. The addition of the return pipeline 40 deprives the butterfly valve 31 of its function of controlling the maximum total flow rate of the main pipeline 30. Two regulating valves 41 are provided on the return pipeline 40, and the two regulating valves 41 are used alternately as a spare to avoid the situation where one of them is damaged and the passage of the return pipeline 40 cannot be closed. Preferably, the regulating valve 41 is a gate valve with a DN150 specification, which has a low price and is convenient for controlling the flow rate.
[0031] As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, on the three main supply pipelines 30a, 30b, and 30c with two in use and one as a spare, corresponding return pipelines 40a, 40b, and 40c are respectively connected.
[0032] The inlet of the return pipeline 40a is connected to the main pipeline 30a between the check valve 33a and the water supply branch valve 34a, and the outlet of the return pipeline 40a is connected to the main pipeline 30a between the circulating water pump 32a and the butterfly valve 31a. Two regulating valves 41a are provided on the return pipeline 40a;
[0033] The inlet of the return pipeline 40b is connected to the main pipeline 30b between the check valve 33b and the water supply branch valve 34b, and the outlet of the return pipeline 40b is connected to the main pipeline 30b between the circulating water pump 32b and the butterfly valve 31b. Two regulating valves 41b are provided on the return pipeline 40b;
[0034] The inlet of the return pipeline 40c communicates with the main pipeline 30c between the one-way valve 33c and the water supply branch valve 34c, and the outlet of the return pipeline 40c communicates with the main pipeline 30c between the circulating water pump 32c and the butterfly valve 31c. Two regulating valves 41c are provided on the return pipeline 40c.
[0035] The present invention has been described in conjunction with the best embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments above, and should cover various modifications and equivalent combinations made according to the essence of the present invention.
