[0050] Optionally, the elastic connection structure 8 includes a fixed cylinder 12 and a telescopic column 13 slidably arranged in the fixed cylinder 12. The fixed cylinder 12 is fixed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 4, the telescopic column 13 is connected to the scraper 7, and an elastic component is arranged between the fixed cylinder 12 and the telescopic column 13.

[0051] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, a telescopic groove 14 is arranged in the fixed cylinder 12, the telescopic column 13 is inserted into the telescopic groove 14, and under the action of the elastic component, the telescopic column 13 has a tendency to extend outwards, driving the scraper 7 to press against the inner wall of the cylindrical filter screen 2 with an elastic force.

[0052] In this embodiment, the elastic component is a spring 15.

[0053] Optionally, it further includes a second conveying component 10, and the second conveying component 10 is arranged below the slag discharge port.

[0054] Specifically, the setting of the second conveying component 10 facilitates the further conveyance of the impurities discharged through the slag discharge port.

[0055] Optionally, the second conveying component 10 includes a conveyor belt assembly and baffles 16 arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt assembly.

[0056] Specifically, the setting of the baffles 16 can prevent the impurities from spilling out during the conveying process.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the conveyor belt assembly includes conveying rollers 17 arranged between the two baffles 16, and a second driving motor 18 is arranged in cooperation with the conveying rollers 17. A conveyor belt 19 is sleeved outside the conveying rollers 17. The impurities discharged through the slag discharge port will fall on the conveyor belt 19. The second driving motor 18 can drive the conveying rollers 17 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the conveyor belt 19 and the conveyance of the impurities, and then timely conveying the discharged impurities away. Among them, the conveyor belt 19 is preferably a chain plate conveyor belt 19 with better high-temperature resistance.

[0060] Optionally, a pair of support feet are respectively arranged at both ends of the box body 1.

[0061] Specifically, the support feet include support legs 20 and fixing feet 21 arranged at the lower ends of the support legs 20. The fixing feet 21 are plate-shaped, and their setting can realize the connection between the box body 1 and the external installation interface. The connection method can be selected as a bolt-type detachable connection to realize the stable support of the box body 1.

[0062] In summary, when the feeding device for the ladle refining furnace provided by the present utility model is in use, taking the feeding of the refining furnace at one time as an example: connect the feeding port 3 to the molten steel output end after primary refining, and connect the liquid outlet pipe to the input end of the ladle refining furnace. In this way, when feeding the molten steel after primary refining for refining, the molten steel after primary refining is transported into the box body 1 through the feeding port 3, and enters the inside of the filter screen 2 through the first opening. The impurities in the material will be intercepted by the filter screen 2, and the filtered molten steel will pass through the filter screen 2 and be transported into the external ladle refining furnace through the liquid outlet pipe, realizing the feeding of the ladle refining furnace. In this way, the interception and filtration of impurities can be realized during the feeding of the ladle refining furnace, improving the refining effect. During this process, start the first driving motor 5. Through the first driving motor 5, the rotating shaft 4 can be driven to drive the spiral conveying blade 6 to rotate. Through the conveying blade 6, the impurities intercepted in the filter screen 2 can be conveyed obliquely upward and discharged out through the slag discharge port 9, thereby realizing the cleaning of the intercepted impurities. And during this process, through the action of the conveying blade 6, the intercepted impurities can move reversely upward inside the filter screen 2, and the molten steel carried by the impurities can be percolated, reducing the amount of molten steel carried by the impurities and improving the cleaning effect of the impurities. Synchronously, during the rotation of the rotating shaft 4, the scraper 7 will be driven to rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the fixed cylinder 12, the telescopic column 13 and the elastic member. Through the scraper 7, the inner surface of the filter screen 2 can be scraped, thereby improving the percolation effect of the filter screen 2 on the molten steel and ensuring the fluidity of the filter screen 2. At the same time, during the scraping process of the inside of the filter screen 2 by the scraper 7, it will be squeezed, so that the scraper 7 drives the telescopic rod to move and squeeze the elastic member, so that while the scraper 7 fits on the surface of the filter screen 2, rigid extrusion is avoided. In this way, when impurities are stuck on the filter screen 2, the rigid friction between the scraper 7 and the impurities can be avoided, improving the cleaning smoothness of the scraper 7 on the filter screen 2, and at the same time ensuring the fit between the scraper 7 and the filter screen 2. The impurities discharged through the slag discharge port 9 will fall on the conveyor belt assembly. Start the second driving motor 18, and control the rotation of the conveying roller 17 through the second driving motor 18, so as to realize the movement control of the conveyor belt 19, so as to facilitate the timely transportation of the discharged impurities and realize the cleaning of the impurities.

[0063] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described above. The above description is exemplary and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in the technical field without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
