Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a LF furnace cover, in particular to a casting LF furnace cover. Background Art
[0002] The LF furnace strengthens the thermodynamic and kinetic conditions of metallurgical reactions through arc heating, reducing atmosphere in the furnace, white slag refining, gas stirring and other means, so that the molten steel can achieve refining effects such as deoxidation, desulfurization, alloying and heating in a short time.
[0003] The LF furnace cover is a critical component, stabilizing the electrodes, collecting fumes generated during the smelting process, and feeding various slags and alloys into the furnace. It also maintains positive pressure within the ladle during the refining process. The original water-cooled cover was leaking severely, impacting refined steel production during the LF furnace failure. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a casting LF furnace cover, which can reduce the temperature drop of molten steel and lower the failure rate of the LF furnace.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A casting LF furnace cover comprises an integrated bottom edge, a cover body and a smoke collecting hood. The top of the smoke collecting hood is provided with an upper cover opening, in which the upper cover is fitted and embedded. The upper cover is provided with electrode holes. The upper part of the cover body is a cone, to which a material discharge chute is connected. The material discharge chute comprises a vertical section pipe body and an inclined section pipe body.
[0007] The bottom edge, the furnace cover body and the smoke collecting hood are integrally cast.
[0008] The opening of the upper cover is a tapered hole that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom.
[0009] A cavity is provided in the upper cover, and the cavity is filled with refractory material.
[0010] The angle between the inclined section of the discharge chute and the horizontal is 45-50 degrees.
[0011] The vertical section pipe body and the inclined section pipe body are connected through a flange.
[0012] Both sides of the upper cover are provided with lifting ears.
[0013] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] 1. The utility model does not require water cooling, and does not have the problem of water leakage in the existing water-cooled furnace cover, which reduces the failure rate of the LF furnace and can also reduce the temperature drop of the molten steel.
[0015] 2. The casting LF furnace cover has high cold and hot strength, reduces heat radiation and heat loss, and has a long service life. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
