Through two stages of reduction and melting, iron ore, coal and other necessary raw materials are subjected to high-temperature treatment in the furnace, and chemical reactions occur, and finally molten iron is produced. During the refining process, the main function of the DRI distributor is to add materials into the melting gasifier according to a predetermined distribution pattern to optimize the distribution of materials and the distribution of coal gas flow in the furnace, so as to improve the production capacity of the EAF and reduce fuel consumption. In the existing technology, the main shaft of the DRI distributor is connected by threads, and the main shafts on both sides of the frame are unevenly stressed and prone to wear. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for prolonging the service life of the DRI distributor of the EAF to solve the problem that in the existing technology, the main shaft of the DRI distributor is connected by threads, and the main shafts on both sides of the frame are unevenly stressed and prone to wear.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the basic scheme provided by the utility model is: a device for prolonging the service life of the DRI distributor of the EAF, including a stepped shaft, the frame is rotationally connected to the stepped shaft, a pull rod is fixedly connected to the stepped shaft, the telescopic end of a hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the pull rod, the hydraulic cylinder is rotationally connected to the furnace shell, the stepped shaft is fixedly connected to the main shaft, a distribution plate is welded to the main shaft, and a cooling mechanism is provided on the DRI distributor.

[0005] The principle and beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: during use, the telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder drives the pull rod to rotate, thereby driving the stepped shaft and the distribution plate to rotate. When the temperature of the DRI distributor is too high, the cooling mechanism reduces the heat loss received by the DRI distributor. The main shafts on both sides of the DRI distributor are changed from being connected by threads to an integral stepped shaft. This structure enables the main shafts on both sides to be evenly stressed, increases the torque of the main shaft, and thus prolongs the service life of the DRI distributor.

The output end of the dynamic torque sensor is electrically connected to a PLC controller, and the PLC controller is electrically connected to the hydraulic cylinder; the torque of the screw conveyor is monitored in real time through the dynamic torque sensor. When the torque is too large, the dynamic torque sensor sends a signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the telescopic movement of the hydraulic cylinder to control the forward and reverse rotation of the distribution plate, reducing the occurrence of material jamming in the DRI distributor, thereby reducing the wear of the main shaft and increasing the service life of the main shaft.

[0007] Solution 3, which is the optimization of the basic solution. The dynamic torque sensor is a torsion bar type torque sensor; the torsion bar type torque sensor belongs to a contact type torque sensor and has high measurement accuracy.

The temperature sensor is in contact with the DRI spreader, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to a PLC controller, and the PLC controller is electrically connected to a cooling component; the temperature of the DRI spreader is monitored in real time through the temperature sensor. When the temperature of the DRI spreader is higher than 200 degrees, the temperature sensor sends a signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the cooling component to cool the DRI spreader through the cooling component, reducing the heat loss of the DRI spreader.

[0009] Solution 5, which is the optimization of the basic solution. The cooling component includes a nitrogen gas pipe and a spray pipe. A nitrogen gas pressure stabilizing tank is fixedly connected to the nitrogen gas pipe, and a water pump is fixedly connected to the spray pipe. Both the nitrogen gas pressure stabilizing tank and the water pump are electrically connected to the PLC controller; when the temperature is between 200°-300°, the PLC controller controls to open the nitrogen gas pressure stabilizing tank, and nitrogen gas is sprayed through the nitrogen gas pipe to cool the DRI spreader. When the temperature is between 300°-400°, the PLC controller controls to open the water pump, and water is sprayed through the spray pipe to cool the DRI spreader.

[0010] Solution 6, which is the optimization of the basic solution. The temperature sensor is a thermocouple temperature sensor; the thermocouple temperature sensor has stable performance, a large temperature measurement range, and the signal can be transmitted over a long distance.
