Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of converter steelmaking, in particular to an automatic sand filling device for draining sand. Background Art

[0002] In the iron and steel metallurgical process, smelted molten steel needs to be transferred to the continuous casting process through a ladle. Continuous casting technology requires that molten steel be supplied in a timely and stable manner through alternating ladles. It has been proposed to inject drainage sand into the ladle nozzle so that the molten steel can automatically flow out of the ladle after the ladle slide at the bottom of the ladle is opened, thereby achieving a timely and stable supply of molten steel from different ladles. The specific drainage principle is that in the initial stage of molten steel being injected into the ladle, the drainage sand on the upper surface of the ladle nozzle contacts the molten steel and rapidly sinters, thereby hindering the penetration of the molten steel. The sintered layer, supported by the drainage sand at the bottom, can withstand the static pressure of the molten steel without being destroyed. At the same time, the sintering speed of the drainage sand slows down, and the sintered layer can maintain a certain thickness. After the ladle slide at the bottom is opened and casting begins, the unsintered drainage sand at the bottom falls due to its own weight, and the sintered layer loses support, causing the sintered layer to break under the gravity of the molten steel. After the drainage sand flows out, the molten steel automatically flows out of the ladle.

[0003] The existing sand filling operation method is to open the ladle to the sand filling position, manually control the electric hoist to slowly lower the sand filling tube, align the sand filling tube with the ladle water outlet and lower it into place, add the baked drainage sand into the ladle water outlet through the sand filling tube, add until the drainage sand forms a sand dune shape at the water outlet, and manually control the electric hoist to slowly lift the sand filling tube to complete the sand filling operation. Whether the ladle opens automatically is an important indicator affecting product quality. If the ladle does not open automatically, it is easy to cause secondary oxidation of molten steel and reduce the casting speed of continuous casting, which has a great impact on production and product quality. However, the process of transferring molten steel by ladle in steel metallurgy is complex. Complex working conditions will affect the quality of sand filling, and the quality of sand filling directly affects whether the molten steel can automatically flow out of the ladle. The sand filling method in the existing technology, the sand filling quality and the ladle self-opening rate under complex working conditions still cannot meet production needs, and the complex operating conditions have an adverse effect on the personal safety of operators.
