Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steelmaking heating furnace equipment, and particularly relates to an emergency protection device for an end-inlet side-outlet regenerative pusher-type heating furnace. Background Technique
[0002] In an end-inlet side-outlet regenerative pusher-type heating furnace, there are generally equipment such as a pusher and a billet discharger to complete the operations of feeding and discharging billets. Four billets are fed per lift in this heating furnace. After the billets are transported from the steelmaking roller table to the charging roller table by the steelmaking roller table, the pusher pushes the billets into the heating furnace from the end of the heating furnace. The billets are arranged in a certain layout in the furnace. The billet discharger uses the power rod to push the billets on the billet discharge chute out of the heating furnace one by one according to the frequency of the steel demand signal of the rolling line. While the billet discharger retreats, the rolling mill bites the billet, and the system automatically gives a steel demand signal to the pusher. At this time, the pusher pushes one billet, and the billet discharging operation circulates throughout the shift. However, once equipment failures occur during the production process, such as hydraulic failures, solenoid valve failures, problems with the length and skew of the billets, and misjudgment of images, if the previous billet fails to be pushed out of the billet discharge chute and the next billet enters the billet discharge chute, it will cause blockage, resulting in the billet being clamped in the billet discharge chute and unable to be discharged, affecting production. Content of the Utility Model
[0003] In order to solve the problem that the billet cannot be discharged due to being clamped in the billet discharge chute in the prior art, the utility model provides an emergency protection device for an end-inlet side-outlet regenerative pusher-type heating furnace. Once the billet is clamped in the billet discharge chute and cannot be discharged, the position sensing module can transmit a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the hydraulic pump motor to immediately cut off the power supply, and the billet discharger pushes the redundant billets out of the heating furnace.

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0017] The following further elaborates on the technical solution of the utility model in combination with specific embodiments. For parts that are not detailedly described and disclosed in the following embodiments of the utility model, they should all be understood as the prior art known or should be known to those skilled in the art, such as the specific structure and working principle of the end-feed side-discharge regenerative pusher-type heating furnace, etc.
[0018] Embodiment 1
[0019] An emergency protection device for an end-feed side-discharge regenerative pusher-type heating furnace, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, it includes a push rod 1 movably arranged on the furnace door 2, and the push rod 1 is parallel to the steel feeding direction of the heating furnace. One end of the push rod 1 extends into the heating furnace and is close to the steel discharging position of the heating furnace and faces the steel feeding direction of the heating furnace. The distance between the end of the push rod 1 extending into the heating furnace and the side of the billet is 100 mm, the width of the billet is 165 mm, and the end of the push rod 1 extending into the heating furnace is set to be conical. When equipment failures such as the steel image recognition system and the pusher occur, the number of billets will increase. At this time, the billets will push against the end of the push rod 1 extending into the heating furnace, causing the push rod 1 to move backward. A position sensing module 6 for sensing the position of the push rod 1 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the push rod 1, and the position sensing module 6 is electrically connected to the controller of the heating furnace. At this time, the controller controls the hydraulic pump motor to immediately cut off the power supply, and the billet discharging machine pushes the excess billets out of the heating furnace. How the position sensing module 6 is electrically connected to the controller of the heating furnace and how the controller controls the hydraulic pump motor are all conventional prior arts in this field and will not be elaborated here. The position sensing module 6 can be a ranging switch, which judges whether to send a signal to the controller by measuring the distance from the furnace door 2; the position sensing module 6 can also be a proximity switch. A contact cooperating with the proximity switch is installed near the heating furnace. When the push rod 1 moves to drive the proximity switch to contact the contact, the proximity switch sends a signal to the controller. The ranging switch and the proximity switch are both conventional technologies in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0020] The above is the basic implementation mode of the present invention. Further improvements, optimizations and limitations can be made on this basis to obtain the following embodiments:

In this way, when the push rod 1 moves outward towards the furnace door 2, the spring 15 is compressed. When the billet in the heating furnace normally enters and exits, the billet will not abut against the push rod 1, and the spring 15 can release to push the push rod 1 into the heating furnace to maintain the initial state. The retaining ring 13 plays a limiting role to prevent the push rod 1 from entering the heating furnace too much.
[0025] Embodiment 4
[0026] This embodiment is an improved solution based on Embodiment 3. Its main structure is the same as that of Embodiment 3.

[0029] Embodiment 6
[0030] This embodiment is an improved solution based on Embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as that of Embodiment 1.

The cooling water cavity communicates with a return water hose 18. Since the temperature inside the heating furnace is relatively high, the temperature of the push rod 1 will be too high. Cool water is introduced into the water inlet hose 5. After the cool water enters the water delivery pipe 21, it flows into the cooling water cavity of the push rod 1, and then flows out through the return water hose 18 to cool the push rod 1 by water cooling. A heat insulation layer 11 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of one end of the mounting sleeve 22 located outside the furnace door 2.
