Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of blast furnaces, in particular to a blast furnace tuyere and a blast furnace with a double sealing structure function. Background Art
[0002] In blast furnace production, the tuyere is a key component, responsible for supplying hot air into the furnace to support combustion and reduction reactions. To ensure stability and safety, tuyeres are typically equipped with large, medium, and small sleeves. These sleeves are designed to gradually decrease in size to accommodate different tuyere installation requirements.
[0003] During installation, the middle and small tuyere sleeves are connected and secured to the large sleeve through integral hoisting and other methods to ensure airtightness and safety. However, in actual production operations, the gaps between the middle and large tuyere sleeves, and between the small and middle tuyere sleeves, are subject to high temperatures and high pressures, as well as excessive alkali metal content and fluctuating furnace temperatures. This can cause the middle tuyere sleeve to warp upward, while the small tuyere sleeve may shrink, deform, or suffer blowout damage. These issues can widen the gaps between the tuyere sleeves, leading to blast furnace gas leaks and seriously impacting safe blast furnace operation.
[0004] To address these issues, the blast furnace is forced to shut down for tuyere sleeve replacement. This replacement process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also severely disrupts normal blast furnace production. Therefore, a solution is urgently needed to improve the high-temperature and high-pressure resistance of the tuyere sleeve, reduce gas leakage caused by increased gaps, and thus ensure safe blast furnace production.

The contact area between the second cylinder 210 and the gas in the furnace; the third air guide 300, the third air guide 300 includes a second rigid seal 330, a third cylinder 310 and a second flexible seal 320, the diameter of the third cylinder 310 is smaller than that of the second cylinder 210, and it is connected to the second cylinder 210, the air guide channel passes through the first cylinder 110, the second cylinder 210 and the third cylinder 310, the second rigid seal 330 is arranged at the junction of the third cylinder 310 and the second cylinder 210, and is provided with a second connecting groove, the second flexible seal 320 is arranged inside the second connecting groove, and is interference-embedded between the inner wall of the second cylinder 210 and the outer wall of the third cylinder 310, the contact area between the second rigid seal 330 and the gas in the furnace is greater than the contact area between the third cylinder 310 and the gas in the furnace.
[0028] The blast furnace tuyere with a double sealing structure function described in this embodiment performs interference filling of the connection gaps of the first air guide, the second air guide, and the third air guide through the first flexible seal 220 and the second flexible seal, as well as the first rigid seal and the second rigid seal, thereby achieving a double sealing effect of the rigid seal and the flexible seal. Even after the air guide is deformed at high temperature, the above-mentioned connection gaps can be highly sealed, thereby avoiding the problem of blast furnace gas leakage. In addition, the present application can also greatly reduce the replacement frequency of the above-mentioned components, saving manpower and material resources while indirectly improving its operating efficiency. Compared with the conventional blast furnace structure at this stage, the present application has significant advantages such as simple structure, low cost, good sealing effect, wide application range, and reduced maintenance and replacement frequency, and has broad application prospects in this industry.
[0029] See also Figure 1As shown, the blast furnace tuyere with a double sealing structure function in this embodiment is used to guide the blast furnace exhaust, wherein the first air guide member 100 has the largest diameter, and the third air guide member 300 has the smallest diameter, thereby making the diameter of the air guide channel in the gas flow direction gradually reduced to achieve steady flow and directional discharge of the gas. Specifically, the side walls of the first cylinder 110, the second cylinder 210 and the third cylinder 310 are all inclined to make the gas flow inside the first cylinder 110, the second cylinder 210 and the third cylinder 310 change evenly.
[0030] Among them, the first air guide 100 is connected to the exhaust port of the furnace body, and the first cylinder 110 is provided with a connecting portion 120 at one end close to the furnace body. In the direction of gas flow, the connecting portion 120 is tilted outward from the first cylinder 110 toward the furnace body, thereby improving its connection stability. Furthermore, the first air guide 100 also includes a limiting portion 130, which is connected to the outer wall of the first cylinder 110 and is arranged close to the furnace body to limit the first cylinder 110 in the direction of gas flow.

[0031] See also Figure 2 As shown, the first flexible seal 220 in this embodiment is preferably an O-ring element, and its base material is selected to be elastic silicone. The first connecting groove is recessed inward from the outer wall of the first rigid seal 230, and the recessed depth of the first connecting groove is less than the thickness of the first flexible seal 220, so that the first flexible seal 220 and the first cylinder 110 have an interference fit. Correspondingly, see Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting groove in this embodiment is recessed inward from the outer wall of the second rigid seal 330. The depth of the recess is less than the thickness of the second flexible seal 320, thereby ensuring an interference fit between the second flexible seal 320 and the second cylindrical body 210. Similarly, the base material of the second flexible seal 320 is also configured as elastic silicone. Specifically, the materials of both the first rigid seal 230 and the second rigid seal 330 in this embodiment are preferably copper.
[0032] See also Figures 2 to 5As shown, the first rigid seal 230 in this embodiment is provided to protrude outward from the outer wall of the second cylinder 210, and is provided to have an inclined arc-shaped inclined surface structure, thereby enabling it to have both sealing and installation guiding functions. Correspondingly, the second rigid seal 330 is provided to protrude outward from the outer wall of the third cylinder 310, and its specific structure is the same as that of the first rigid seal 230, and no further details will be given here.
[0033] In the present embodiment, the base materials of the first cylinder 110, the second cylinder 210 and the third cylinder 310 are copper. In order to reduce the overall mass and facilitate installation, in the present embodiment, a first cooling chamber 211 is provided between the inner wall and the outer wall of the second cylinder 210, and a second cooling chamber 312 is provided between the inner wall and the outer wall of the third cylinder 310.

In this way, the cooling effect of the second cylinder 210 and the third cylinder 310 can be achieved, and the two can have sufficient supporting strength. In other embodiments, the first cylinder 110, the second cylinder and the third cylinder 310 can also be set to other metals, and the first flexible sealing rib and the second flexible sealing member 320 can also be set to other materials with elastic sealing effect. This new use does not make specific restrictions on this.
