Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of metallurgical equipment and relates to a combustion settling chamber with an explosion-proof top cover. Background Art

[0002] In the field of steelmaking, electric arc furnace steelmaking (EAF) is a widely used steelmaking process at present, especially in areas with sufficient power supply. Electric arc furnace steelmaking uses electric energy to heat and melt raw materials such as scrap steel and hot metal through the arc generated by electrodes to produce steel.

[0003] During the process of electric furnace steelmaking, a large amount of high-temperature flue gas is generated. The flue gas is sent to the combustion settling chamber for secondary combustion of CO and primary dust removal of particulate matter in the flue gas. At present, a large amount of hot metal is often added in domestic electric furnace steelmaking, and the CO concentration in the flue gas will increase significantly, reaching the explosion concentration. Since the temperature of the flue gas entering the settling chamber may be within the CO explosion temperature range, if the equipment does not have special explosion-proof measures, the pressure generated by the explosion will cause serious damage to the equipment body and may even endanger the safety of surrounding facilities and personnel. Therefore, explosion-proof of the settling combustion chamber is necessary, and at the same time, the airtightness during normal operation needs to be considered while ensuring explosion-proof. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the utility model is to solve the explosion-proof problem of the settling combustion chamber and provide a combustion settling chamber with an explosion-proof top cover.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] A combustion settling chamber with an explosion-proof top cover includes a combustion settling chamber body, a flue gas inlet pipe and a flue gas outlet pipe arranged on the top of the combustion settling chamber body. An activity top cover is also arranged on the top of the combustion settling chamber body, and the activity top cover is located between the flue gas inlet pipe and the flue gas outlet pipe; the activity top cover covers the opening on the top of the combustion settling chamber body, and the two are sealed with each other through labyrinth seal and sand seal; there is no fixed connection between the activity top cover and the combustion settling chamber body. Under the explosion pressure, the activity top cover is separated from the combustion settling chamber body to achieve pressure relief.

[0007] Further, a raised sealing wall is arranged on the inner side of the opening on the top of the combustion settling chamber body, and a refractory layer is arranged on the bottom of the activity top cover. The refractory layer is pressed against the sealing wall to form a sealing structure with the side and top surfaces of the sealing wall.

[0008] Further, two sealing grooves are arranged on the outer side of the opening on the top of the combustion settling chamber body, and two sealing knives are arranged on the activity top cover. The two sealing knives are inserted into the two sealing grooves one by one to form a labyrinth sealing structure, and sand is filled in the sealing grooves to form a sand seal structure.

[0009] Further, the height of the sealing groove is 350 mm.

[0010] Further, the sealing wall is also made of refractory material, with a width of 100 mm and a height of 100 mm.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. The top of the combustion settling chamber in the present utility model is designed with a movable top cover, and a combined sealing method of labyrinth sealing and sand sealing is adopted. The movable top cover is sealed with the settling chamber body under normal working conditions, but in case of explosion, the top cover can be automatically separated from the combustion settling chamber body under the action of explosion pressure, realizing rapid pressure relief and avoiding damage to the equipment body caused by explosion. This design effectively prevents the danger that may occur when the CO concentration reaches the explosion range, and helps to improve the overall safety of the equipment.

[0013] 2. By adopting a double-sealing structure of labyrinth sealing and sand sealing in the present utility model, the sealing performance between the movable top cover and the settling chamber body is extremely excellent during normal operation. The labyrinth sealing forms a complex channel through two circles of sealing knives and sealing grooves, effectively preventing flue gas leakage; the sand sealing further improves the sealing performance, and can still maintain the stability of the sealing structure even in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment.

[0014] Other advantages, objectives and features of the present utility model will be described to some extent in the subsequent description, and to some extent, will be obvious to those skilled in the art based on the study of the following text, or can be taught from the practice of the present utility model. The objectives and other advantages of the present utility model can be realized and obtained through the following description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
