[0002] The distributor is an important part of blast furnace ironmaking equipment. Generally, an all-open or semi-closed water-cooled structure is adopted inside the distributor, and a water-cooled furnace top steel ring is supporting. A ring seal or graphite braided packing is used for sealing between the distributor and the furnace top steel ring. If the seal fails at this place or some of the water holes on the furnace top steel ring are blocked, it may cause the cooling water of the distributor to flow into the blast furnace, resulting in a water leakage event, affecting the normal operation of the blast furnace and causing great economic losses.

It should also be understood that terms defined in a general dictionary, for example, should be interpreted as having meanings consistent with their meanings in the context of the relevant art, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless specifically defined as such here.
[0030] Technologies, methods, and devices known to ordinary technicians in the relevant field may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies, methods, and devices should be regarded as part of the description.
[0031] The embodiments of the present utility model relate to blast furnace equipment and its leak-proof blast furnace top structure. The top of the blast furnace main body has a top steel ring 1, and the top steel ring 1 is generally welded to the blast furnace main body. The distributor 2 is connected to the top steel ring 1, and a sealing ring is provided between the distributor 2 and the top steel ring 1 to achieve the sealing of the water holes between the two.
[0032] See Figure 1 , the embodiments of the present utility model provide a leak-proof blast furnace top structure, including a top steel ring 1 and a distributor 2. Among them, the top steel ring 1 has a first water-cooling structure 11, the top of the top steel ring 1 has an annular groove 13, and the bottom of the annular groove 13 has a plurality of first water holes 12 communicating with the first water-cooling structure 11; the distributor 2 has a second water-cooling structure 21, the bottom of the distributor 2 is connected to the top of the top steel ring 1, and the bottom of the distributor 2 has second water holes 22 distributed on a circumference corresponding to the first water holes 12; a first sealing ring 3 and a second sealing ring 4 are provided between the top steel ring 1 and the distributor 2, and the annular groove 13 is located between the first sealing ring 3 and the second sealing ring 4.
[0033] In the anti-leakage blast furnace top structure provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, an annular groove 13 is provided on the top surface of the top steel ring 1 of the blast furnace. The second water hole 22 on the top steel ring 1 for communicating with the second water-cooled structure 21 of the distributor 2 is arranged at the bottom of the annular groove 13. When the cooling water in the first water-cooled structure 11 of the distributor 2 enters the top steel ring 1, it first flows into the annular groove 13 for secondary water flow distribution. Even if a part of the first water hole 12 of the top steel ring 1 is blocked, the cooling water can still be shunted through the annular groove 13 to other unblocked first water holes 12 of the top steel ring 1 to achieve buffering and will not raise the water level, that is, it can avoid the leakage of cooling water from between the sealing surface of the distributor 2 and the top steel ring 1 to the main body of the blast furnace. It can be ensured that even if the sealing ring inside the annular groove 13 fails, before the cooling water fills the annular groove 13, the existence of the head difference can still ensure that the cooling water cannot leak from between the sealing surface of the distributor 2 and the top steel ring 1 to the main body of the blast furnace, greatly reducing the leakage risk. Due to the buffering effect of the annular groove 13, it is allowed that the first water hole 12 and the second water hole 22 are not completely aligned, and there can be a certain deviation without causing the risk of cooling water leakage from the sealing surface.
[0034] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the distributor 2 has a boss 23, the second water hole 22 is arranged on the boss, and the boss 23 extends into the annular groove 13. The bottom surface of the distributor 2 is provided with a boss 23, and the boss 23 extends the water outlet interface of the distributor 2 downward into the annular groove 13, making it lower than the sealing surface between the distributor 2 and the top steel ring 1, so as to avoid the water flow being directly brought into the interior of the main body of the blast furnace due to the pressure difference between the distributor 2 and the main body of the blast furnace.
[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, each second water hole 22 corresponds to a boss 23 respectively, and a plurality of bosses 23 are distributed on the circumference corresponding to the annular groove 13.
[0036] In other exemplary embodiments, the boss 23 is an annular boss corresponding to the annular groove 13. The annular boss is in clearance fit with the annular groove 13. The annular boss is in clearance fit with the annular groove 13 to form a labyrinth seal, avoiding the water flow being directly brought into the interior of the main body of the blast furnace due to the pressure difference between the distributor 2 and the main body of the blast furnace and reducing the risk of cooling water leakage.
[0037] In some embodiments, the aperture of the first water hole 12 is larger than the aperture of the second water hole 22. The first water hole 12 of the top steel ring 1 is larger in diameter than the second water hole 22 of the distributor 2, so that a certain misalignment deviation between the second water hole 22 of the distributor 2 and the first water hole 12 of the top steel ring 1 is allowed, avoiding the water flow entering the sealing surface and reducing the risk of cooling water leakage.
[0038] In some embodiments, annular water retaining grooves 24 are respectively provided on one side of the second water hole 22 close to the center of the circumference where it is located and on one side away from the center of the circumference where it is located. The annular water retaining grooves 24 are located within the range corresponding to the annular groove 13. Designing the annular water retaining grooves 24 on both sides of the second water hole 22 can restrict the dispersion of the cooling water, thereby achieving a more stable flow and reducing the risk of the cooling water entering the sealing surface between the distributor 2 and the top ring 1 of the furnace, resulting in leakage of the cooling water. The annular water retaining grooves 24 on both sides of the second water hole 22 can be respectively one or two or more.
[0039] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the annular water retaining groove 24 is triangular, rectangular or n-shaped. Of course, it can also be other shapes. In an exemplary embodiment, the cross-section of the annular water retaining groove 24 is an isosceles triangle, and the angle of the apex of the triangle can be an acute angle, a right angle or an obtuse angle. For example, the cross-section of the annular water retaining groove 24 is an isosceles right triangle.
[0040] In some embodiments, the depth of the annular water retaining groove 24 is 0.8 - 1.2 mm.
[0041] In some embodiments, the depth of the annular groove 13 ≥ 15 mm. The depth of the annular groove 13 not less than 15 mm can meet the buffering requirements of the cooling water under normal circumstances, and can ensure that the cooling water is buffered in the case of partial blockage of the first water holes 12 or splashing of super-large flow water, without overflowing from the annular groove 13.
[0042] In some embodiments, the total cross-sectional area of the first water holes 12 is larger than the total cross-sectional area of the second water holes 22. The total flow capacity of the first water holes 12 is greater than the total flow capacity of the second water holes 22, which can prevent the cooling water from accumulating in the annular groove 13 and will not cause a large pressure on the sealing surface.
[0043] In some embodiments, the aperture of the first water holes 12 is smaller than the width of the annular groove 13. The aperture of the first water holes 12 being smaller than the width of the annular groove 13 allows for a large drilling error and is easy to manufacture.
[0044] Multiple sealing rings can be provided on both the inner and outer sides of the annular groove 13 for backup and enhancing the sealing effect. For example, providing multiple second sealing rings 4 on the inner side of the annular groove 13 can prevent the cooling water from entering the main body of the blast furnace.
[0045] See Figure 4, at the interface between the distributor 2 and the top ring 1 of the furnace, the cooling water flowing out from the second water hole 22 flows radially into the annular groove 13 of the top ring 1 of the furnace. The annular groove 13 receives all the water flows of the cooling water, including the dissipated water flow and the splashing water flow. After the water flow is redistributed by the annular groove 13, it flows into the first water-cooled structure 11 of the top ring 1 of the furnace from the first water hole 12 of the top ring 1 of the furnace, and finally is discharged from the drain port. The annular groove 13 realizes the stability of the cooling water flow. By redistributing the cooling water through the annular groove 13, the flow capacity of the equipment is improved. Under the working conditions of seal failure and partial blockage of the second water hole 22 of the top ring 1 of the furnace, the water flow can still flow stably and normally, avoiding water leakage accidents.
[0046] See Figure 2 , compared with the embodiment shown in Figure 4 , a ring-shaped boss 23 is added. The ring-shaped boss 23 extends the water outlet interface of the second water hole 22 of the distributor 2 downward, making it lower than the sealing surface between the distributor 2 and the top ring 1 of the furnace, forming a labyrinth seal to prevent the water flow from being directly brought into the interior of the blast furnace body due to the pressure difference between the distributor 2 and the blast furnace body.
[0047] See Figure 5 , compared with the embodiment shown in Figure 4 , a ring-shaped water retaining groove 24 is added. The ring-shaped water retaining groove 24 can restrain the dispersion of the cooling water and realize a more stable flow of the cooling water.
[0048] In the second aspect of the present utility model, a blast furnace device is provided. The blast furnace device includes a blast furnace body and the blast furnace top structure of any one of the above embodiments provided at the top of the blast furnace body.
[0049] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent replacements to the present utility model within the essence and protection scope of the present utility model, and such modifications or equivalent replacements should also be regarded as falling within the protection scope of the present utility model.
