Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of blast furnace swing spout baking equipment, in particular to a blast furnace front swing spout baking device. Background Art

[0002] Baking out the swinging spout at the front of a blast furnace (BF) refers to the process of baking out the swinging spout (also known as the swinging flow nozzle or swinging taphole), the device used for tapping iron during the blast furnace's production process. This process ensures smooth tapping and prevents problems such as molten iron solidification caused by low temperatures. 1. Function of the Swinging Spout: The swinging spout is a key component connecting the blast furnace to the molten iron ladle, primarily used to control the speed and direction of molten iron flow from the blast furnace. When tapping is required, the swinging spout is opened and adjusted to the appropriate angle to direct the molten iron into the designated ladle. 2. Purpose of Baking Out: Maintaining high temperatures: Ensures smooth molten iron flow and prevents solidification due to temperature drops during tapping. Preventing Oxidation: High temperatures reduce the molten iron's exposure to oxygen, preventing oxidation. Extending Lifespan: Baking out reduces thermal stress, helping to extend the service life of the swinging spout and its associated components. 3. Baking Out Method: Fuel Selection: Commonly used fuels include gas (such as blast furnace gas and coke oven gas) and heavy oil. Modern blast furnaces increasingly use coal gas as fuel because it's clean and easy to control. Combustion Equipment: Use specialized baking devices, such as spray guns and flamethrowers, to ensure even flame coverage of the nozzle surface. Temperature Control: Adjust the fuel supply to control the baking temperature, ensuring it's appropriate but not excessively high, which could damage the equipment.

[0003] The swinging spout used in front of the furnace needs to be taken offline and re-cast 40 days after it is put into operation. After casting, it needs to be baked with natural gas. The baking of the swinging spout needs to be connected to natural gas using a baker. The production of the baker requires about 1 ton of steel pipe. After the natural gas is connected to the baker, the swinging spout is open in design and the natural gas flame will spray upwards. A steel plate is needed to make a shield to suppress the natural gas flame so that the natural gas can fully bake the refractory material inside the swinging spout.

[0004] The existing blast furnace swing nozzle baking has the following problems:

[0005] 1. The roaster is subjected to high temperature baking, which leads to frequent replacement. Each time a swing nozzle is baked, about 0.5 tons of steel pipe is used.

[0006] 2. The steel plate is severely deformed after suppressing the natural gas flame. The steel plate shield needs to be remade when each swing nozzle is baked off the line. About 10 tons of steel plates are needed for shield production every year.

[0007] 3. Due to the gap between the steel plate shield and the swinging nozzle, it is difficult to completely suppress the natural gas flame, causing the swinging nozzle to bake for up to 5 days, wasting natural gas.

[0008] 4. It takes 3 people 3 days to make the baking device and steel plate shield for each swinging spout, which is low in work efficiency.

[0009] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a blast furnace front swing nozzle baking device to solve the problems of frequent replacement of existing blast furnace swing nozzle baking devices, resulting in material waste and low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0010] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a blast furnace front swing nozzle baking device.

[0011] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a blast furnace front swing spout baking device, including a covering plate and a gas pipeline, the covering plate covers the swing spout, the size of the covering plate is consistent with the swing spout, the covering plate is provided with a through hole, the gas branch pipe passes through the through hole, a combustion nozzle is installed at the end of the gas branch pipe, and the combustion nozzle extends into the reserved hole of the refractory material.

[0012] Specifically, a swing nozzle refractory material is provided on the upper portion of the swing nozzle, and a covering plate is placed on the swing nozzle refractory material.

[0013] Specifically, two refractory pre-holes are provided on the swing nozzle refractory material, and two through holes are provided on the cover plate, and the positions of the refractory pre-holes correspond to the positions of the through holes.

[0018] The swinging spout baking device designed by the utility model in front of the blast furnace eliminates the use of a baking device. Only two steel pipes need to be connected during baking, saving 0.5 tons of steel pipe cost. After making a covering plate as a shield, about 10 tons of steel for making a steel plate shield can be saved each year. Each time the swinging spout is taken offline for repair, there is no need for personnel to weld and make a baking device and a steel plate shield. The swinging spout baking operation can be performed by directly hoisting, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0019] The utility model is designed to realize the blast furnace front swinging spout baking device. The steel pipe for connecting natural gas is pre-buried in the refractory material to prevent the steel plate from being deformed by high temperature. The fully covered swinging spout is used to suppress the natural gas flame. The baking of the swinging spout can be completed in 3 days. Each swinging spout saves 2 days of natural gas usage, saves energy and improves the baking efficiency. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
