[0022] The present invention provides a composite ladle refining furnace cover. Figure 1-5 As shown, the composite ladle refining furnace cover includes: a furnace cover body 1, which is used to cover the composite ladle refining furnace body 17 and can be separated from the furnace cover body 1, and the furnace cover body 1 is composed of an alloy shell 2, a heat-resistant inner liner 3 and a plurality of reinforcing rib rings 4. The heat-resistant inner liner 3 is cast together with a refractory castable and a plurality of reinforcing rib rings 4 to enhance its structural strength. A through hole is provided on the heat-resistant inner liner 3, and an insertion tube 5 is provided in the through hole for inserting the electrode tube; a clamping mechanism, which is provided on the alloy shell 2 and is used to clamp and limit the furnace cover body 1.
[0023] In this embodiment, the furnace cover body 1 is designed to cover the composite ladle refining furnace body 17 and be detachably connected thereto. This allows the furnace cover body 1 to be easily opened or closed when needed. The alloy shell 2, as the primary external structure of the furnace cover body 1, provides sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the high temperatures and mechanical stresses of the refining process. The use of the alloy shell 2 enhances the overall structural strength of the furnace cover body 1, improving its resistance to high temperatures and wear. The heat-resistant inner liner 3 is cast from a refractory castable (high-alumina, mullite, and corundum refractory castables) along with multiple reinforcing ribs 4. The reinforcing ribs 4 form a mesh structure within the heat-resistant inner liner 3, enhancing its strength and stability. This design significantly improves the structural strength of the heat-resistant inner liner 3, enabling it to withstand the tremendous pressure in high-temperature environments, thereby avoiding the problem of structural cracking. Furthermore, the addition of the reinforcing ribs 4 improves the wear resistance of the inner liner and extends the service life of the furnace cover. The heat-resistant inner liner 3 is provided with a through hole, within which a plug-in tube 5 is disposed. The insertion tube 5 is used to insert the electrode tube so that operations such as electric heating or electric stirring can be performed during the refining process. The design of the insertion tube 5 allows the electrode tube to be easily inserted and fixed in the inner tank, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the refining process. At the same time, the insertion tube 5 also has a certain high-temperature resistance and can maintain a stable working state in a high-temperature environment. The clamping mechanism is set on the alloy shell 2 to clamp the furnace cover body 1 and limit it. In this way, the furnace cover body 1 can be firmly fixed to the refining furnace body when closed to prevent it from loosening or falling off due to high temperature or mechanical stress. In summary, the composite ladle refining furnace cover provided by the utility model effectively solves the problem of structural cracking that is prone to occur in current non-water-cooled refining furnace covers by adopting structural designs such as alloy shell, heat-resistant inner tank and reinforcing rib ring. At the same time, the design of the insertion tube and clamping mechanism also improves the practicality and safety of the furnace cover.
[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clamping mechanism includes: an assembly block 6 symmetrically fixed on the alloy shell 2; a mounting frame 7 arranged on the assembly block 6, and the mounting frame 7 is limited by a first bolt 8; an electric hydraulic rod 9 fixed on the mounting frame 7 for adjusting the spacing, and a detachable splint 10 is provided on the output rod of the electric hydraulic rod 9.
[0025] In this embodiment, the assembly blocks 6 are symmetrically fixed on the alloy shell 2, serving as a support base for the mounting frame 7. They ensure that the mounting frame 7 can be firmly mounted on the furnace cover body 1 and maintain a certain degree of symmetry and balance; the design of the assembly blocks 6 enables the mounting frame 7 to be firmly fixed on the furnace cover, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the clamping mechanism. At the same time, the symmetrical assembly blocks 6 also ensure the uniform distribution of the clamping mechanism on the furnace cover, avoiding deformation or damage caused by uneven force; the mounting frame 7 is set on the assembly blocks 6 and is limited by the first bolt 8. The first bolt 8 passes through the reserved holes on the mounting frame 7 and the assembly block 6 to firmly fix the mounting frame 7 on the assembly block 6; the combined use of the mounting frame 7 and the first bolt 8 ensures that the various components of the clamping mechanism can be tightly connected together to form an integral structure.

[0027] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 10 not only serves as a key component of the clamping mechanism, holding the furnace roof body 1, but also features a special design. A groove block 11 is fixedly mounted on the clamping plate 10, enhancing its connectivity and functionality. The groove block 11 is fixed to the clamping plate 10 and houses a detachable plug-in block 12. The shape and size of the groove block 11 match those of the plug-in block 12, ensuring its stable insertion and retention within the groove block 11.
