[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an air blowing tube with a support member, including an air blowing tube 1, an air guide channel 11 is provided inside the air blowing tube 1, and also includes a support member 2 that passes through the air guide channel 11 and is used to support the air blowing tube 1 during the press-forming process of the air blowing tube 1 and the stopper rod.

[0040] As an improvement, the support member 2 has a vaporization temperature of less than 900°C, and is preferably made of a material with a certain strength, such as plastic or nylon. Of course, it is not limited to the above two types. Any material that can meet the support strength and is easy to vaporize can meet the requirements of this application.

[0041] Preferably, the outer contour size of the support member 2 is not larger than the inner contour size of the air guide channel 11, so as to achieve rapid assembly and complete support of the air blowing tube 1 and avoid damage to the air blowing tube 1. It is preferred that the outer diameter size of the support member 2 is close to the inner diameter size of the air guide channel 11.

[0042] As an improvement, the blowing tube 1 is any one of cylindrical, boss cylindrical or frustum-shaped, and the corresponding shape is selected according to different working conditions to meet the stopper rod with different service life requirements. Figure 1-Figure 2 It is a cylindrical structure. Figure 3 It is a boss cylindrical structure. Figure 4 It is a frustum-shaped structure.

[0043] As an improvement, the outer diameter surface of the blowing tube 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning parts 12 along its axial direction. By providing the positioning parts 12, the positioning accuracy of the blowing tube 1 is ensured after the blowing tube 1 and the stopper rod are formed, and the stopper rod is not easy to fall off during use.

[0044] As an improvement, the positioning portion 12 is a positioning protrusion or a positioning groove, and the protrusion or groove is selected according to the processing technology of the air blowing pipe.

[0045] As an improvement, Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of air guide channels 11 are evenly distributed along the cross section of the air blowing pipe 1 .

[0046] As an improvement, the air guide channel 11 is arranged at the center of the air blowing pipe 1. The air guide channel 11 of the air blowing pipe 1 can be set according to different air intake volumes and customer requirements to meet different air blowing volume requirements.

[0047] As an improvement, the air blowing tube 1 is a ceramic tube or an alumina tube. Through the high-temperature resistant material and the air guide channel 11 of stable size, stable air intake control is achieved, thereby improving the product use effect.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] like Figure 6-9 As shown, this embodiment provides a stopper rod, comprising a stopper rod body 3, a stopper rod head 4 provided at the bottom of the stopper rod body 3, a gas passage 31 provided inside the stopper rod body 3, a gas outlet passage 41 provided inside the stopper rod head 4, and a gas blowing pipe with a support member as described in the above embodiment, provided on the gas outlet passage 41. A limiting structure 5 is formed between the gas blowing pipe 1 and the stopper rod head 4. The limiting structure 5 prevents the gas blowing pipe 1 from falling off due to corrosion by molten steel during use of the stopper rod. The upper end surface of the gas blowing pipe 1 is higher than the top of the gas outlet passage 41, preventing impurities from accumulating in the gas passage 31 and clogging the gas outlet passage 41.

[0050] As an improvement, the support member 2 is vaporized and disappears during the firing process of the stopper rod.

[0051] Preferably, the limiting structure 5 is a step limiting portion, and the bottom of the blowing tube 1 is clamped at the step limiting portion to prevent the blowing tube 1 from falling, thereby increasing the service life of the stopper rod.

[0052] As another embodiment, the limiting structure 5 is a conical limiting portion, the air blowing pipe 1 is a frustum, and the outer diameter surface of the air blowing pipe 1 matches the conical limiting portion; it should be noted that the frustum structure is used to limit the air blowing pipe 1, thereby improving the strength of the conical air blowing pipe 1 and thus improving the service life.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the lower end surface of the blowing pipe 1 is higher than the bottom end of the gas outlet channel 4121; through this arrangement, after the bottom of the stopper rod head 4 is corroded, it does not affect the normal gas outlet of the blowing pipe 1 and prevents the molten steel from impacting the blowing pipe 1, thereby avoiding damage to the blowing pipe 1 during use.

[0054] Processing steps:

[0055] Step 1: Positioning the air blowing pipe 1: Place the air blowing pipe 1 in the molding cavity 8 formed between the molding outer mold 6 and the molding inner mold 7 and position it; the bottom of the support member 2 abuts against the inner wall of the molding inner mold 7 to form the air outlet channel 41; preferably, the air blowing pipe 1 can be connected to the molding outer mold or the molding inner mold 7 to achieve the positioning and installation of the air blowing pipe 1;

[0056] Step 2: Pressing and forming: the refractory material for making the stopper rod body 3 is introduced into the forming cavity 8, and the refractory material in the forming cavity 8 is press-formed. It should be noted that, depending on the material of the stopper rod body 3, a corresponding pressing and forming method is selected, such as isostatic pressing, dry pressing or extrusion.

[0057] Step 3: Demolding. After demolding, a pressed stopper rod is obtained. The outer molding die 6 and the inner molding die 7 are removed in reverse order of assembly, and demolding is completed.

[0058] Step 4: Firing, firing the stopper rod after demoulding in step 3 to obtain a finished stopper rod. The firing temperature is greater than 900° C. During the firing process, the support member 2 is gasified and disappears.

[0059] It should be noted that the support member 2 is made of plastic and does not require demolding after pressing. During the firing process, the support member 2 automatically vaporizes and decomposes. Therefore, the support member 2 can be assembled before pressing, ensuring that the support member 2 is in full contact with the inner wall of the blow tube 1. This ensures that the support member 2 is fully supported during the pressing process, avoiding the problem of the blow tube 1 being crushed.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
