AI Technical Summary
The air conduit pipes of existing breathable bricks are easily blocked, resulting in inconvenient opening of the breathable core. The existing technical solutions rely on water-steel eroding casting materials to open the breathable core, which is troublesome to operate.
A sealing head is set at the end of the air conduit. The sealing head material is a solid material with a low melting point, such as aluminum, to avoid blockage of debris, and melt itself after the steel contacts, restoring conduction; a porous refractory material layer and a hollow layer are arranged inside the air conduit to enhance the gas dispersion ability.
Effectively avoid air conduit blockage, simplify the use of breathable bricks, reduce the impact of melting of the sealing head on the molten steel, and improve the convenience and durability of breathable bricks.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of permeable bricks, and particularly to a top protection device for an integral permeable brick. Background Art
[0002] The permeable brick, also known as the permeable core, is a permeable device installed at the bottom of the ladle to transport argon into the ladle through an argon pipeline, thereby reducing the hydrogen content in the molten steel. The permeable brick usually includes various structures such as a dispersion type, a slit type, and a straight through hole type. Among them, a stainless steel gas pipe is arranged inside the straight through hole type to transport gas, but during the installation process, the stainless steel gas pipe is prone to blockage.
[0003] In the patent document with the publication number CN210254212U, a top protection device for an integral permeable brick is disclosed. The top is protected by pouring materials on the top of the permeable core, but this technical solution relies on the erosion of the molten steel on the pouring materials to open the permeable core, and it is rather troublesome to open the permeable core. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , which discloses a top protection device for an integral porous plug of an embodiment of the present application, including a brick base 1 and an air-permeable core 2. A frustum-shaped through hole is formed in the center of the brick base 1, the air-permeable core 2 is installed in the through hole of the brick base 1, a plurality of air ducts 21 are arranged inside the air-permeable core 2, a refractory filling material 22 is arranged in the air-permeable core 2, a plugging head 3 is arranged at the gas output end of the air duct 21, and the plugging head 3 is made of a solid material with a melting point lower than the temperature of the molten steel.
[0028] Specifically, the brick seat 1 is installed at the bottom of the ladle, the breathable core 2 is installed inside the brick seat 1, the bottom of the breathable core 2 is connected to a gas pipe to input argon or other gases, the gas enters the ladle through the gas guide pipe 21, a plug 3 is arranged at the gas output end of the breathable core 2. When installing the porous brick, it can prevent sundries from falling into the breathable core 2 and blocking the gas guide pipe 21. The melting point of the plug 3 is lower than the temperature of the molten steel. After the ladle is filled with molten steel, the plug 3 melts at high temperature, and the melted liquid is pushed out of the gas guide pipe 21 under the gas pressure, making the gas guide pipe 21 conductive.
[0029] In this way, by arranging the plug 3 at the end of the gas guide pipe 21, it can prevent sundries from blocking the gas guide pipe 21, and it will melt by itself after contacting the molten steel, making it easier for the gas guide pipe 2 to resume conduction and facilitating use.
[0030] In some feasible ways, the gas guide pipe 21 is fixed inside the breathable core 2 through the refractory filling material 22. Before installing the gas guide pipe 21, by inserting the end of the gas guide pipe 21 into the melted liquid of the plug 3, the diameter of the gas guide pipe 21 is small, and the melted liquid will form a plug at the end of the gas guide pipe 21 and form a solid plug after cooling. The plug 3 is made of a solid material with a melting point lower than the temperature of the molten steel, which is convenient to manufacture and use.
[0031] As a specific implementation manner of an overall top protection device for the porous brick provided by the application, the material of the plug 3 is aluminum.
[0032] Overall, The melting point of the aluminum material is much lower than that of steel, making it easier to melt in the molten steel. And when replacing the porous brick, there may still be some residual temperature in the ladle. The melting point of the aluminum material makes it not melt at the residual temperature. At the same time, the hardness of the aluminum material is small and it may be pushed out by the gas pressure, reducing the time required for the molten steel to melt the gas guide pipe 21 and being more convenient to use.
[0033] As provided in the application An overall top protection device for the porous brick Another specific implementation One end of the refractory filling material 22 close to the plug 3 is provided with a porous refractory material layer 221, and a plurality of air holes are opened on the side wall of one end of the gas guide pipe 21 located inside the porous refractory material layer 221.
[0034] Combined with the specific use scenario, a porous refractory material layer 221 is arranged at one end of the plug 3. When the molten steel enters the ladle and has not melted the gas guide pipe 21 yet, the gas guide pipe 21 can supply part of the gas to the porous refractory material layer 221 through the air holes, reducing the influence of the melting time of the plug 3 on the molten steel.
[0035] In some feasible ways, the porous refractory material layer 221 can be selected as the porous filling material of the diffusive porous plug, and gas diffusion is carried out through the porous nature of the material itself. To reduce the influence of the blocking part of the plug 3 on the porous refractory material layer 221, the blocking length of the plug 3 is not greater than 1 / 2 of the thickness of the porous refractory material layer 221. To reduce the influence of the porous refractory material layer 221 on the service durability of the whole refractory brick, the thickness of the porous refractory material layer 221 does not exceed 1 / 10 of the thickness of the refractory filling material 22.
[0036] Furthermore, a hollow layer 222 is provided between the porous refractory material layer 221 and the refractory filling material 22, and air holes are also formed on the side wall of the gas guide pipe 21 in the hollow layer 222.
[0037] It should be understood that by providing the hollow layer 222, gas can first diffuse into the hollow layer 222 and then enter the porous refractory material layer 221, increasing the gas diffusion ability of the porous refractory material layer 221.
[0038] In some feasible ways, a support ring 223 is provided outside the hollow layer 222. The support ring 223 separates the porous refractory material layer 221 from the refractory filling material 22. By providing the support ring 223, it is convenient to form a hollow between different material layers.
[0039] Furthermore, the porous refractory material layer 221 protrudes from the brick base 1.
[0040] It should be understood that during the use process, the porous plug will gradually disintegrate under the erosion of molten steel until the porous plug needs to be replaced. By providing that the porous refractory material layer 221 protrudes from the brick base 1, the erosion rate of the molten steel on the porous refractory material layer 221 is increased, causing this part to fall off, which is convenient for giving full play to the advantages of the straight-through hole type porous plug through the gas guide pipe 21.
[0041] The embodiments of this specific implementation manner are all preferred embodiments of this application, and do not limit the protection scope of this application accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the protection scope of this application.
