Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metallurgical equipment, in particular to a device for treating blockages inside a blast furnace air duct and a blast furnace air duct. Background Technique

[0002] During the process of blast furnace ironmaking, raw fuels such as ore and coke are charged from the top of the furnace. The stock column accumulated in the furnace is affected by the high-temperature reducing coal gas flowing countercurrently upwards, and is continuously heated, decomposed, reduced, melted, dripped, etc. These physical and chemical processes are not only complex and changeable, but also affected by factors such as the furnace internal environment, and there will be some mixtures of incompletely melted furnace materials, slag and iron, etc., which are either adhered to the furnace wall or stay in inactive areas, etc. Whenever the furnace condition is not smooth, such as hanging materials, dropping materials, or a large reduction in air volume, the remaining furnace materials (coke, ore) will be poured into the middle and rear parts of the air duct and the large cover, and the inside of the tuyere will be completely blocked and turn black. In addition, after some refractory materials inside the blast furnace air supply system are damaged, they will be carried by the hot air to the dead zone at the rear of the air duct and cause blockages.

[0003] In August 2023, the furnace condition of a certain blast furnace fluctuated, resulting in hanging materials, and then the air volume was reduced and the materials were dropped. When the air volume was reduced to 1000 MPa / h and the air pressure was 0.05 MPa, the falling coke and ore splashed into the tuyere and the inside of the air duct. After the air returned, the materials at the front end of the air duct were blown into the furnace by the hot air. Since the end of the air duct is a non-circulating area, blockages occurred at the ends of the 20#, 22#, and 23# air ducts, the peepholes turned black, and the internal situation could not be observed. It was impossible to normally inject coal and check whether there were bends or slag hanging on the tuyere. Safety in production is of utmost importance, and it is necessary to prevent problems before they occur. Therefore, it is necessary to timely clean the furnace materials and refractory materials inside the air duct. Usually, the post personnel open the peephole or the plug plate to discharge, but this operation will cause splashes to burn and scald personnel, and long-term discharge will cause damage to the sealing surface of the large cover and air leakage, forcing the air volume to be reduced for treatment or the furnace to be stopped for replacement, which poses a major safety hazard.

[0004] After the blast furnace is stopped and the air returns, there is a lot of accumulated ash in the furnace materials, which is easy to block the peephole. Usually, the peephole is opened to release the ash, resulting in high noise and a lot of dust, which is not conducive to environmental protection. Content of the Utility Model
