DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] This application provides a hydraulic control circuit for controlling the skirt in a steelmaking skirt device. The skirt is spaced apart above the converter and requires lifting and lowering motion during the steelmaking process, providing protection for workers. The hydraulic control circuit includes multiple hydraulic cylinders, each of which is drivably connected to the skirt. Specifically, the piston rods 92 of each hydraulic cylinder are connected to the skirt. Due to the specifications of the skirt, the number of hydraulic cylinders is limited to at least three. Figure 1 The multiple hydraulic cylinders are respectively a first hydraulic cylinder 10, a second hydraulic cylinder 11, a third hydraulic cylinder 12 and a fourth hydraulic cylinder 13.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 The hydraulic control circuit includes multiple hydraulic cylinders, an oil tank, a first reversing valve 2, and a flow distribution cylinder 9. The hydraulic cylinders are arranged vertically, with the rod chamber located below the rodless chamber. When the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder extends, the skirt descends toward the converter; when the piston rod 92 retracts, the skirt ascends away from the converter.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 The oil tank is separated from the hydraulic cylinder and is connected to the oil supply line P and the oil return line T. The oil inlet of the first reversing valve 2 is connected to the oil supply line P, and the oil outlet of the first reversing valve 2 is connected to the oil return line T. The first working oil port of the first reversing valve 2 is connected to the rodless chambers of multiple hydraulic cylinders. The first reversing valve 2 is also provided with a second working oil port. Figure 1 As shown, when the first reversing valve 2 is in Figure 1 When the first reversing valve 2 is in the left position, the oil inlet of the first reversing valve 2 is connected with the first working oil port, and the oil outlet is connected with the second working oil port; when the first reversing valve 2 is in the left position Figure 1 When the oil inlet of the first reversing valve 2 is in the right position, the oil inlet is connected to the second working oil port, and the oil outlet is connected to the first working oil port.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1The flow distribution cylinder 9 includes a cylinder body 91 and a piston rod 92. The cylinder body 91 is provided with a plurality of chambers arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the piston rod 92. The piston rod 92 includes a rod portion 921 and a plurality of pistons 922 connected to the rod portion 921. The rod portion 921 is movably arranged in the cylinder body 91. The plurality of pistons 922 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of chambers. The pistons 922 are arranged in the corresponding chambers and the chambers are divided into a first chamber 911 and a second chamber 912 by the pistons 922. It can be understood that when the rod portion 921 drives the piston 922 to move in the chamber, the volumes of the first chamber 911 and the second chamber 912 both change, but the sum of the volumes of the first chamber 911 and the second chamber 912 to which each chamber belongs remains unchanged. It is defined that the volume of each chamber is equal, and the volume of each first chamber 911 is also equal. The first chambers 911 of the multiple chambers are all connected to the second working oil port of the first reversing valve 2, and the second chambers 912 of the multiple chambers are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the rod chambers of the multiple hydraulic cylinders, and the second chambers 912 are connected to the corresponding rod chambers.

[0041] when Figure 1 The b end of the first reversing valve 2 is energized, and the first reversing valve 2 is in Figure 1 In the right position, the oil inlet of the first reversing valve 2 is connected to the second working oil port, and the oil enters the multiple first chambers 911 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 through the second working oil port of the first reversing valve 2 along the oil supply line P. The hydraulic oil pushes the piston rod 92 to move along the cylinder body 91, and the oil in the multiple second chambers 912 respectively enters the rod chambers of the multiple hydraulic cylinders, pushing the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder to retract, so that the skirt connected to the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder moves upward. This is the skirt lifting process, and the oil in the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder returns to the oil tank through the return oil line T, and the oil output of the multiple second chambers 912 is guaranteed to be uniform through the flow distribution cylinder 9.

[0042] when Figure 1 The a end of the first reversing valve 2 in the circuit is energized, and the first reversing valve 2 is in Figure 1 In the left position, the oil inlet of the first reversing valve 2 is connected to the first working oil port, and the oil enters the rodless chambers of multiple hydraulic cylinders along the oil supply line P through the first working oil port of the first reversing valve 2, pushing the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder to extend, so that the skirt connected to the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder descends. This is the process of the skirt descending. The oil in the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder returns to the multiple second chambers 912 of the flow distribution cylinder 9, pushing the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 to move.

[0043] This application realizes the synchronous rise and fall of the piston rods 92 of multiple hydraulic cylinders by adding a flow distribution cylinder 9, thereby improving the synchronization of the cover skirt movement, making the movement process of the cover skirt run smoothly, improving the stability of the cover skirt movement, improving the cover skirt scratching accidents, and ensuring smooth steel production.

[0044] During the descent of the skirt, the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 moves, causing multiple first chambers 911 to discharge oil. The oil output from the first chamber 911 can be selected to return to the oil tank along the oil outlet of the first reversing valve 2, or other methods can be used.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 , the hydraulic control circuit includes a first one-way throttle valve 6 and a hydraulically controlled one-way valve 8. The first one-way throttle valve 6 is installed in the oil circuit connected to the second working oil port from the first chamber 911. The oil inlet of the one-way valve of the first one-way throttle valve 6 is connected to the second working oil port, and the oil outlet of the one-way valve of the first one-way throttle valve 6 is connected to the first chamber 911. The oil inlet of the hydraulically controlled one-way valve 8 is connected to the rodless chambers of multiple hydraulic cylinders, the oil outlet of the hydraulically controlled one-way valve 8 is connected to the oil inlet of the one-way valve of the first one-way throttle valve 6, and the control oil port of the hydraulically controlled one-way valve 8 is connected to the first working oil port. During the descent of the hood skirt, the first reversing valve 2 is in Figure 1 In the left position, the oil in the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder returns to the multiple second chambers 912 of the flow distribution cylinder 9, pushing the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 to move, causing the multiple first chambers 911 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 to discharge oil. The oil flows through the throttle valve of the first one-way throttle valve 6 to the hydraulic control one-way valve 8. At this time, hydraulic oil is input to the control oil port of the hydraulic control one-way valve 8. The oil output from the first chamber 911 can flow from the oil outlet of the hydraulic control one-way valve 8 to the oil inlet of the hydraulic control one-way valve 8, and then return to the rodless chambers of the multiple hydraulic cylinders, forming a differential circuit and improving the smoothness of the cover skirt during movement. The descent speed of the cover skirt is controlled by adjusting the throttle valve of the first one-way throttle valve 6.

[0046] In the scheme in which the first one-way throttle valve 6 and the hydraulically controlled one-way valve 8 are provided, during the process of lifting the skirt, the oil flows to the first one-way throttle valve 6 through the second working oil port of the first reversing valve 2, and flows to the multiple first chambers 911 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 through the one-way valve of the first one-way throttle valve 6. At this time, the throttle valve of the first one-way throttle valve 6 does not play a regulating role.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The hydraulic control circuit includes a first one-way valve 26, which is installed in the oil circuit connecting the first chamber 911 to the second working oil port. The oil inlet of the first one-way valve 26 is connected to the second working oil port, and the oil outlet of the first one-way valve 26 is connected to the first chamber 911. Figure 1 As shown, when the first reversing valve 2 is in the middle position, the oil inlet of the first reversing valve 2 is in a cut-off state, the hydraulically controlled one-way valve 8 and the first one-way valve 26 both prevent the oil from flowing, the oil in the first chamber 911 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 cannot flow out, and the oil in the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder cannot flow out, so that the skirt is in a stopped state. Figure 1When the a-end and the b-end of the first reversing valve 2 lose power, the neutral state of the first reversing valve 2 cooperates with the first one-way valve 26, so that the skirt can be stopped at any position.

[0048] In some embodiments, the hydraulic control circuit includes a first position switch 19 and a controller. Figure 1 , spaced from the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9. The first position switch 19 is used to detect the position of the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9. The controller is connected to the first position switch 19 for signals and is control-connected to the first reversing valve 2. The first reversing valve 2 is a solenoid valve, and the controller can control the operating position of the first reversing valve 2. When the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 moves to the point where the first chamber 911 is at its minimum allowable value, the first position switch 19 sends a signal, indicating that the second chamber 912 is at its maximum allowable value. The oil entering the second chamber 912 from the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder is at its maximum amount, indicating that the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder is at its lowest position. At this time, the skirt is at its lowest position. When the first position switch 19 sends a signal, the skirt is at its lowest position. The controller receives the signal from the first position switch 19 and controls the first reversing valve 2 to shift positions, causing the skirt to stop descending.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The hydraulic control circuit includes a second reversing valve 4 and at least one second check valve 27. The oil inlet of the second reversing valve 4 is connected to the second working oil port, and the oil outlet of the second reversing valve 4 is connected to the return oil circuit T. The working oil port of the second reversing valve 4 is connected to the rod chambers of multiple hydraulic cylinders. At least one second check valve 27 is installed in the oil circuit connecting the working oil port of the second reversing valve 4 to the rod chambers of the hydraulic cylinders. The oil inlet of the second check valve 27 is connected to the working oil port of the second reversing valve 4, and the oil outlet of the second check valve 27 is connected to the rod chambers of the hydraulic cylinders. There can be only one second check valve 27, and the oil entering the rod chambers of multiple hydraulic cylinders can be controlled by a single check valve. There can also be multiple second check valves 27, and the number of second check valves 27 is equal to the number of hydraulic cylinders, with each hydraulic cylinder being equipped with a second check valve 27 for control.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 In the scheme in which the second reversing valve 4 and the second one-way valve 27 are provided, when the skirt is lifted, the oil first flows through the first reversing valve 2 and the flow distribution cylinder 9 in sequence to the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder; when the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 moves to the second chamber 912 and is at the minimum allowable value, the controller controls the second reversing valve 4 to shift, so that the oil passes through the first reversing valve 2, then flows through the second reversing valve 4, and enters the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder through the second one-way valve 27, so that the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder continues to rise, and the skirt continues to lift.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The hydraulic control circuit includes multiple pressure sensors and a second position switch 20. The second position switch 20 is spaced from the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 and is used to detect the position of the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9. When the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 moves to the minimum allowable value of the second chamber 912, the second position switch 20 issues a signal. The second reversing valve 4 is a solenoid valve. The controller is connected to the second reversing valve 4 for control and is also connected to the second position switch 20 for signal transmission. The controller controls the reversing position of the second reversing valve 4 upon receiving the signal from the second position switch 20.

[0052] Figure 1 The multiple pressure sensors are the second pressure sensor 15, the third pressure sensor 16, the fourth pressure sensor 17 and the fifth pressure sensor 18. Figure 1 Multiple pressure sensors correspond one-to-one to multiple hydraulic cylinders. The measuring ends of the pressure sensors are located in the oil circuits connected to the rod chambers of the corresponding hydraulic cylinders. The pressure sensors are used to detect the hydraulic pressure in the rod chambers of the corresponding hydraulic cylinders. When the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder rises to its highest position, the corresponding skirt is at its highest position, and the hydraulic pressure in the rod chambers increases significantly. The controller is connected to the multiple pressure sensors. The pressure sensors detect the hydraulic pressure in the rod chambers of the corresponding hydraulic cylinders and transmit the detection signals to the controller. The controller controls the first reversing valve 2 and the second reversing valve 4 to adjust them to a de-energized state. The cooperation between the pressure sensors and the controller improves the reliability of the skirt's operation.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 The hydraulic control circuit includes a first pressure sensor 14, which is used to connect the oil pressure of the oil supply circuit P.

[0054] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The hydraulic control circuit includes a third reversing valve 3 and at least one third check valve 28. The working oil port of the third reversing valve 3 is connected to the second chambers 912 of the plurality of chambers, and the oil outlet of the third reversing valve 3 is connected to the oil return line T. At least one third check valve 28 is installed in the oil circuit connecting the working oil port of the third reversing valve 3 to the second chamber 912. The oil inlet of the third check valve 28 is connected to the second chamber 912, and the oil outlet of the third check valve 28 is connected to the working oil port of the third reversing valve 3. There can be one third check valve 28, and the oil circuit connecting the working oil port of the third reversing valve 3 to the second chamber 912 is controlled by the third check valve 28. There can also be multiple third check valves 28, with the number of third check valves 28 being equal to the number of second chambers 912 of the flow distribution cylinder 9, and each third check valve 28 controls the oil output of each second chamber 912. The controller is connected to the third reversing valve 3 , and is configured to control the third reversing valve 3 to change position after receiving a signal from the second position switch 20 .

[0055] In the scheme where the third reversing valve 3 and the third one-way valve 28 are provided, the accumulated error of the hydraulic cylinder and the flow distribution cylinder 9 can be cleared. When the accumulated error needs to be cleared, the skirt rising action is performed first. Figure 1 When the b end of the first reversing valve 2 and the a end of the third reversing valve 3 are energized, the hydraulic oil flows along the oil supply line P through the first reversing valve 2 into the first chamber 911 of the flow distribution cylinder 9, pushing the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 to move, and the oil in the second chamber 912 flows out and flows through the third one-way valve 28 to the third reversing valve 3. The oil returns to the oil tank along the return oil line T through the third reversing valve 3. Figure 1 When the piston rod 92 of the flow distribution cylinder 9 moves to the right to the maximum extent, the second chamber 912 is at the minimum allowable value, the piston rod 92 touches the second position switch 20, and the controller controls the third reversing valve 3 to lose power; at the same time, the a end of the second reversing valve 4 is energized, and the oil enters the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder through the first reversing valve 2 and the second reversing valve 4, pushing the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder to continue to move upward. When the piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder moves upward to the highest position, the pressure sensor sends a signal, and the controller controls the first reversing valve 2 and the second reversing valve 4 to lose power, thus completing the upper limit clearing operation.

[0056] In some embodiments, the hydraulic control circuit includes a fourth reversing valve 1, see Figure 1 The oil inlet of the fourth reversing valve 1 is connected to the oil supply circuit P, the oil outlet of the fourth reversing valve 1 is connected to the oil return circuit T, and one working oil port of the fourth reversing valve 1 is connected to the first chamber 911 of the multiple chambers. The oil outlet of the second one-way valve 27 is also connected to the second chamber 912, and another working oil port of the fourth reversing valve 1 is connected to the oil inlet of the second one-way valve 27. The flow distribution cylinder 9 can also be flushed by using this hydraulic control circuit. Flushing the flow distribution cylinder 9 is divided into two processes, one is Figure 1 The piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder of the middle flow distribution cylinder 9 is from left to right, and the other is Figure 1 The piston rod 92 of the hydraulic cylinder of the middle flow distribution cylinder 9 moves from right to left, and the two processes are combined to realize the forward and backwash of the flow distribution cylinder 9.

[0057] During the flushing process of the flow distribution cylinder 9, Figure 1 The a terminal of the fourth reversing valve 1 is energized.
