Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of blast furnaces, and specifically relates to a coal gas flow guiding device and blast furnace charging equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the steel industry, the structure of blast furnace charges has undergone significant changes. In recent years, the grade of imported ore has steadily declined, directly impacting the efficiency and cost of blast furnace ironmaking. To meet this challenge and improve the overall grade of incoming charge, the proportion of pelletized ore in the charge structure has continued to increase. This change has led to the development of a new blast furnace charge distribution method—center coking. This method involves adding coke to the center of the charge to optimize charge distribution and increase its calorific value.
[0003] However, the implementation of central coking technology has led to changes in the temperature distribution in the upper part of the blast furnace, particularly a significant increase in the temperature at the center of the furnace's dead zone. This temperature increase significantly exceeds the design operating temperature of the blast furnace's charging equipment, posing a severe challenge. In the bellless blast furnace's top charging system, the charging chute is the final and crucial link. Connected to the charging device via a drive arm, the charging chute operates at the top of the blast furnace cavity, at the interface between the hot and cold parts of the blast furnace and the equipment. Under normal operating conditions, the charging chute operates at a pressure of 0.25-0.28 MPa and a temperature between 150°C and 250°C. However, under abnormal operating conditions, temperatures can briefly reach 600°C, with transient highs reaching as high as 900°C.
[0004] With the implementation of central coking technology in blast furnaces, the temperature at the center of the furnace roof has further increased. This has exposed the charge distribution chute and drive arm to a harsh operating environment characterized by high temperature, high pressure, material impact, and corrosive media. These harsh conditions have severely shortened the service life of the charge distribution equipment and posed a significant threat to the stability and continuity of blast furnace production.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to which this application belongs to understand this application more clearly, the technical solution of this application is described in detail below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] In the first aspect of the present application, a coal gas flow guiding device 100 is provided, which is applied to a blast furnace charging device, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, the gas flow guiding device 100 includes a water-cooling component 110 and two sets of connecting components 120. The water-cooling component 110 includes a guide plate 111 and a cooling channel 112. The guide plate 111 is set at an angle to the driving arm 300 of the blast furnace charging equipment. An accommodating cavity is opened inside the guide plate 111. The cooling channel 112 is located in the accommodating cavity. The cooling channel 112 is provided with pipes 113 arranged at intervals along the length or width direction of the guide plate 111; or is provided with chambers separated and connected along the length or width direction of the guide plate 111; one end of the connecting component 120 is connected to the guide plate 111, and the other end of the connecting component 120 is used to connect to the corresponding driving arm 300 of the blast furnace charging equipment.
[0029] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, there are two driving arms 300 of the blast furnace charging equipment, and the two driving arms 300 are connected to the water-cooling assembly 110 through a corresponding set of connecting components 120. The water-cooling assembly 110 includes a guide plate 111 and a cooling channel 112, wherein the guide plate 111 is arranged at an angle to the driving arm 300, and the guide plate 111 is arranged below the driving arm 300. When the central coal gas flow flushes the blast furnace, the guide plate 111 can block the coal gas flow to prevent the central coal gas flow from directly flushing the driving arm 300. The guide plate 111 can reduce the temperature of the coal gas flow through the water-cooling assembly 110, thereby reducing the central temperature of the blast furnace empty area, reducing the flushing of the driving arm 300 by the high-temperature coal gas flow, and significantly improving the service life of the driving arm 300 and the charging equipment.
[0030] The driving arm 300 is connected to the guide plate 111 via the connecting assembly 120 . The connecting assembly 120 is easy to disassemble and replace, thereby achieving good economic benefits in blast furnace production and maintenance.
[0031] The cooling channel 112 is provided with pipes 113 spaced apart along the length or width direction of the guide plate 111; or is provided with spaced and connected chambers separated along the length or width direction of the guide plate 111, and the pipes 113 or chambers form a cooling path.
[0032] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, the guide plate 111 can be annular in structure. In some embodiments, the guide plate 111 is a box-shaped structure. In this case, the two drive arms 300 are spaced apart along the length of the guide plate 111. In some embodiments, the guide plate 111 is composed of a shell and a refractory material. The shell is an entire box-shaped structure. The refractory material is cast on the outer surface of the entire shell, ensuring the high temperature resistance of the guide plate 111. The casting thickness of the refractory material is 60 to 100 mm. The thickness can be 60 mm, 65 mm, 72 mm, 79 mm, 83 mm, 86 mm, 91 mm, 97 mm, or 100 mm.
[0033] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the swinging of the distribution chute 200 connected to the drive arm 300, in some embodiments, the guide plate 111 is provided with an arcuate notch 114 in the direction of rotation of the distribution chute 200 of the blast furnace distribution equipment. In this case, the arcuate notch 114 is located on the side of the guide plate 111 that is closest to the direction of rotation of the distribution chute 200. The arcuate notch 114 in the guide plate 111 creates a clearance space to prevent the distribution chute 200 from colliding with the guide plate 111 during swinging.
[0034] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, to increase the flow area of the cooling channel 112, in some embodiments, the cooling channel 112 is formed in a serpentine structure along the length of the guide plate 111. After cooling water is passed through the cooling channel 112, the heat dissipation capacity of the guide plate 111 can be effectively enhanced, thereby increasing the service life of the guide plate 111 in high-temperature working environments.
[0035] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, in other embodiments, the cooling channel 112 forms a serpentine structure along the width direction of the guide plate 111. After cooling water is passed into the cooling channel 112, the heat dissipation capacity of the guide plate 111 can be effectively enhanced, thereby increasing the service life of the guide plate 111 under high-temperature working conditions.
[0036] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner diameter of the pipe 113 of the cooling channel 112 or the cooling channel 112 can be 40 to 70 mm, which can be 40 mm, 43 mm, 50 mm, 57 mm, 64 mm, 69 mm or 70 mm; the distance between the pipe 113 or the cooling channel 112 is 100 to 200 mm, which can be 100 mm, 121 mm, 148 mm, 162 mm, 173 mm, 187 mm, 191 mm or 200 mm.
[0037] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the water-cooling assembly 110 further includes an inlet water pipe 117 and an outlet water pipe 118 that are both connected to the cooling channel 112. Specifically, the inlet water pipe 117 and the outlet water pipe 118 provide an environment for cooling water to be injected into and out of the cooling channel 112. In certain embodiments, both the inlet water pipe 117 and the outlet water pipe 118 are metal hoses. When cooling water is passed through the metal hoses, they effectively enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the guide plate 111 and extend the service life of the guide plate 111 in high-temperature operating conditions. Furthermore, since the guide plate 111 will move with the distribution chute 200, both the inlet water pipe 117 and the outlet water pipe 118 are metal hoses, eliminating the need for a rigid connection. The metal hoses can twist with the movement of the guide plate 111.

An inlet water pipe 117 is detachably connected to the inlet connector 115, and an outlet water pipe 118 is detachably connected to the outlet connector 116. The inlet connector 115 and the outlet connector 116 are disposed on the guide plate 111. This facilitates communication between the guide plate 111 and the corresponding pipe 113 via the inlet connector 115 and the outlet connector 116, thereby creating a cooling environment for the cooling channel 112. In certain embodiments, the inlet water pipe 117 is detachably connected to the inlet connector 115, and the outlet water pipe 118 is detachably connected to the outlet connector 116. The inlet water pipe 117 and the inlet connector 115 can be threaded, and the outlet water pipe 118 and the outlet connector 116 can be threaded. It is convenient to disassemble and install the inlet water pipe 117 and the outlet water pipe 118. If the inlet water pipe 117 and the outlet water pipe 118 need to be maintained or replaced, the inlet water pipe 117 and the inlet joint 115 can be directly disassembled, and the outlet water pipe 118 and the outlet joint 116 can be disassembled.

The first connecting hole is located on the side corresponding to the long side of the connecting plate 122. To further enhance the strength of the connecting plate 122, a reinforcing rib is provided on the outer side of the connecting plate 122.

In some embodiments, two connecting plates 122 are provided to connect to the guide plate 111 on one side, and a mounting space for the connecting suspension plate 121 is provided between the two connecting plates 122. The two connecting plates 122 and the connecting suspension plate 121 are detachably connected.
[0042] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a second aspect, a blast furnace charging equipment, comprising two spaced-apart drive arms 300, the aforementioned gas flow guiding device 100, and a charging chute 200.
