Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ironmaking equipment, in particular to a foreign matter cleaning tool. Background Art
[0002] The blast furnace direct blowing pipe is a pipe fitting used in the blast furnace ironmaking and smelting production process. Its functional chamber delivers hot air stably and evenly into the blast furnace. At the same time, the direct blowing pipe can be used to inject pulverized coal into the furnace, reducing the coke ratio and smelting costs. In the blast furnace ironmaking production process, it is often necessary to seal the tuyere sleeve or install porcelain sleeves and other types of bushings in the tuyere sleeve. However, these seals or installed components need to be removed after a period of time. In addition, during the blast furnace production process, slag, iron, or even coke powder may be filled into the tuyere sleeve or direct blowing pipe due to various reasons. These components that need to be removed or the slag, iron, and coke powder become foreign matter in the tuyere sleeve or direct blowing pipe that hinders blast furnace production.
[0003] There are many traditional methods and tools for cleaning these foreign objects, but they are specially designed for different types of foreign objects and cannot be used universally. Therefore, multiple tools are needed to clean the direct blowpipe and the tuyere tube, and some tools or methods even require the disassembly of the direct blowpipe, which is time-consuming and laborious.
[0004] Therefore, how to clean the blowpipe or the air duct sleeve more simply and labor-savingly is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a foreign body cleaning tool, which can be inserted into the straight blowing pipe and the air outlet small sleeve to crush various foreign bodies in the straight blowing pipe and the air outlet small sleeve, and can cut and crush foreign bodies on the inner wall thoroughly. It is suitable for cleaning different types of foreign bodies in the straight blowing pipe and the air outlet small sleeve, has strong compatibility, can be operated by one person, and is fast, efficient, time-saving and labor-saving.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A foreign body cleaning tool for cleaning blast furnace direct blowing pipes and tuyere sleeves, specifically comprising:
[0008] A support rod, the support rod having a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the first end of the support rod being used to extend into a straight blowpipe or a tuyere sleeve, the support rod having a hollow structure therein, the hollow structure extending along the extension direction of the axis of the support rod to form an air flow channel, the air flow channel having an air inlet formed at the end of the second end of the support rod, and a purge air outlet formed on a side wall of the first end of the support rod;
[0009] a drill bit, the drill bit being mounted on the first end of the support rod;
[0010] a gear-shaped structural member, the gear-shaped structural member being sleeved on the support rod and located on a side of the drill bit facing the second end of the support rod, the gear-shaped structural member being close to the drill bit and spaced apart from the drill bit, the outer periphery of the gear-shaped structural member being provided with a plurality of cutting blades spaced circumferentially around the axis thereof, the cutting edges of the cutting blades being oriented toward a side away from the axis of the gear-shaped structural member;
[0011] an air supply device, wherein an air supply pipe of the air supply device is connected to the air inlet and is used to provide purge air into the air flow channel;

The gear-shaped structural member swings axially along the inner wall of the channel to be cleaned, and the cutting blade of the gear-shaped structural member generates a large rotary cutting destructive force, which impacts, cuts and crushes various foreign objects attached to the inner wall of the direct blowing pipe and the tuyere sleeve. At the same time, while the foreign objects are being destroyed and crushed, the purge air outlet at the first end of the support rod will blow out high-pressure purge gas, blowing up the crushed foreign objects, so that the drill bit and the gear-shaped structural member can easily clean the undamaged foreign objects thoroughly. After the foreign objects in the channel to be cleaned are completely crushed and cleaned, the support rod is removed after the operation is completed. After the blast furnace resumes production, the cut, crushed and loose foreign objects can be blown into the hearth of the blast furnace with the high-temperature hot air and melted, so that the air supply channel of the direct blowing pipe and the tuyere sleeve is clean and free of foreign objects, avoiding interference with blast furnace production.

The foreign body cleaning tool specifically comprises: a support rod 1, a drill bit 2, a gear-shaped structural member 3, an air supply device 4 and a rotary drive device 5. Specifically, the support rod 1 has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The support rod 1 extends along the inner cavity of the straight blowing pipe 6 and the tuyere small sleeve 7. The first end of the support rod 1 is used to extend into the straight blowing pipe 6 or the tuyere small sleeve 7 and extend into the inner cavity of the straight blowing pipe 6 and the tuyere small sleeve 7. The cavity inside the straight blowing pipe 6 and the tuyere small sleeve 7 is an air supply channel. When the foreign body 8 in the air supply channel needs to be cleaned, it can be called a channel to be cleaned. The support rod 1 needs to extend into the channel to be cleaned for cleaning. In addition, The support rod 1 has a hollow structure, which extends along the extension direction of the axis of the support rod 1. The hollow structure forms an air flow channel, and the air flow channel is formed with an air inlet at the end of the second end of the support rod 1. Preferably, the support rod 1 can be a circular tubular structure, specifically a steel pipe, and the side wall of the first end of the support rod 1 is formed with a purge outlet 23; the drill bit 2 is installed at the first end of the support rod 1; the gear-shaped structural member 3 is sleeved on the support rod 1, and is located on the side of the drill bit 2 facing the second end of the support rod 1.
