Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of industrial silicon furnace and electric furnace main body equipment, in particular to an automatic rotary material distribution device in a ferrosilicon ore arc furnace. Background Art

[0002] Ferrosilicon submerged arc furnaces are key equipment in the mining and steelmaking industries. They are primarily used to reduce ore, carbonaceous reducing agents, and solvents to produce ferroalloys such as ferrosilicon. Ferrosilicon, an alloy of silicon and iron, is widely used in the steel, foundry, chemical, and electronics industries due to its high strength, excellent electrical conductivity, and wear resistance. During the smelting process, ferrosilicon not only acts as a reducing agent in the iron reduction reaction but also produces alloys such as ferrosilicide, enhancing the iron's strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Ferrosilicon submerged arc furnaces utilize carbon or magnesia refractory materials and self-heating electrodes and submerged arc operation, melting the metal using arc and resistance energy. The smelting process encompasses pretreatment, melting, and tapping, enabling continuous operation. Furthermore, as high-power consumption equipment, ferrosilicon submerged arc furnaces are developing towards higher power and larger sizes, incorporating advanced technologies such as low-frequency smelting, fume extraction and dust removal, and energy recovery to improve thermal efficiency and productivity. In short, ferrosilicon submerged arc furnaces occupy a vital position in the metallurgical industry, providing a solid foundation for ferroalloy production.

[0003] The smooth progress of industrial silicon smelting depends not only on the correct ingredients, but more importantly, on uniform distribution and appropriate material surface shape. Because the silica used in industrial silicon smelting is reduced by coke, uneven distribution will result in uneven reducing agent in the furnace. This will not only affect the smooth progress of smelting, but also disrupt the current distribution in the furnace, affect the deep insertion of electrodes, cause unbalanced temperature gradients in the furnace, shrink the smelting crucible, and deteriorate the furnace condition.

[0004] In the past, the material distribution in the industrial silicon smelting furnace was carried out by fixed material pipes and fixed-point unloading, and manual or mechanical pushing was used to distribute the material in the furnace. This method increased the intensity of manual work. Manual or mechanical operations could not accurately control the material due to human control, which would lead to uneven thickness of the material layer, affecting the deterioration of the smelting environment in the furnace. Manual intervention in the distribution process took a long time, had poor consistency, and could not be sustained. The temperature gradient of the furnace material layer was uneven, affecting the structure of the smelting material layer, causing the crucible to shrink, and leading to deterioration of the furnace condition.

[0005] To this end, we provide an automatic rotary charging device for a ferrosilicon submerged arc furnace to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 5The present invention is an automatic rotary feeding device for a ferrosilicon ore arc furnace, comprising a feeding assembly 100, a rotating assembly 200 and a swinging assembly 300; the rotating assembly 200 and the swinging assembly 300 are both arranged outside the feeding assembly 100:

[0036] The material discharge assembly 100 includes a discharge barrel 101 and a guide chute 102. The bottom of the discharge barrel 101 is fixedly connected to a first connecting seat 103, and the guide chute 102 is rotatably connected to the outside of the first connecting seat 103. The outside of the guide chute 102 is fixedly connected to a second connecting seat. The outside of the discharge barrel 101 is provided with a connecting assembly 400 and a cooling assembly 500.

[0037] The rotating assembly 200 includes a driven gear ring 205, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the discharge barrel 101. The outside of the discharge barrel 101 is fixedly connected to the installation chamber 201. The top of the installation chamber 201 is fixedly connected to the cover 202. The top of the cover 202 is fixedly connected to the hydraulic motor 203. The output end of the hydraulic motor 203 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 204, and the driving gear 204 is meshed with the driven gear ring 205. The hydraulic motor 203 rotates forward and backward, which can drive the discharge barrel 101 to rotate, so that the raw materials can be evenly spread around.

[0038] The swing assembly 300 includes a hydraulic cylinder 301, and a sliding rod 302 is installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 301. A connecting rod 303 is rotatably connected between the sliding rod 302 and the second connecting seat 104. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 301 is extended and retracted, so that the guide trough 102 can be swung back and forth, so that the raw materials can be evenly scattered in a straight line. Moreover, as the rotating assembly 200 drives the lower barrel 101 to rotate, the raw materials can be evenly scattered on a circular surface centered on the lower barrel 101.

[0039] Specifically, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to an insert block 301a, and the insert block 301a is a block. The top of the slide rod 302 is fixedly connected to a third connection seat 301b, and the insert block 301a is movably inserted into the interior of the third connection seat 301b. The interior of the third connection seat 301b is rotatably connected to a fixing screw 301c, and the fixing screw 301c is threadedly sleeved into the interior of the insert block 301a.

The outside of the discharge barrel 101 is fixedly connected with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 504, and the plurality of heat dissipation fins 504 are all located inside the cooling bin 501. By injecting cold water into the cooling bin 501, the upper end of the discharge barrel 101 can be cooled, thereby preventing the hydraulic cylinder 301 and the hydraulic motor 203 from being damaged by overheating in their working environment. By providing a plurality of heat dissipation fins 504, the heat exchange area can be increased and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.

[0046] Specifically, the bearing seat 402 has a hollow structure, and the outside of the bearing seat 402 is fixedly connected with a liquid inlet pipe 402a and a liquid outlet pipe 402b, the liquid inlet pipe 402a and the liquid outlet pipe 402b are both connected to the bearing seat 402, and the liquid inlet pipe 402a and the liquid outlet pipe 402b are respectively distributed on both sides of the bearing seat 402. By injecting coolant into the interior of the bearing seat 402, the sealed bearing 403 can be cooled to prevent the sealed bearing 403 from overheating and damage.

[0047] Furthermore, the cold liquid pipe 502 and the hot liquid pipe 503 are both connected to the cooling chamber 501 , and the cold liquid pipe 502 and the hot liquid pipe 503 are respectively close to the bottom and the top of the cooling chamber 501 .

[0048] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: when the unloading barrel 101 needs to be cooled, cold water is first injected into the cooling chamber 501 through the cold liquid pipe 502. Then, the cold water in the cooling chamber 501 exchanges heat with the plurality of heat dissipation fins 504, thereby cooling the unloading barrel 101. The heated water is then discharged through the hot liquid pipe 503.

[0049] When the sealed bearing 403 is working, coolant is injected into the bearing seat 402 through the liquid inlet pipe 402a, and then the coolant entering the bearing seat 402 can cool the sealed bearing 403, and then the heated coolant is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe b.
