[0002] The LF refining furnace is a smelting equipment in the hot processing industry, and is mostly used for the final deoxidation and alloying process of molten steel in ferrous metallurgy. The LF refining furnace mainly consists of a furnace body, a furnace cover, an arc heating device, a feeding device, a bottom blowing system and other components. During the production process of the LF refining furnace, the foaming performance of the steel slag is related to the alkalinity of the steel slag. The alkalinity of the steel slag needs to be adjusted to an appropriate range. Generally, the furnace liquid is treated by adding components such as alkalinity regulators. However, the addition of alkalinity regulators is currently mainly done by manual feeding or simply feeding through pipes. The alkalinity regulator is easily concentrated in a certain area and is unevenly dispersed, which leads to uneven alkalinity adjustment and affects the final foaming performance of the steel slag. Therefore, the existing technology has the problem of uneven alkalinity adjustment, which in turn affects the foaming performance of the steel slag. Utility Model Content

An argon injection pipe 503 extending into the interior of the mixing injection chamber 501 is provided at the other end of the mixing injection chamber 501, and the outer end of the argon injection pipe 503 is connected to an air pump 504 and an argon storage tank 505 through a pipeline. Two blanking ports 506 located at the left end of the gas outlet of the argon injection pipe 503 are also provided above the mixing injection chamber 501.

[0014] An inclined surface 507 is provided above the mixing and spraying chamber 501 .

[0015] A valve 508 is provided in the blanking port 506 .

[0016] Composition Figure 2 As shown, the inner end of the addition port 3 is provided with a flaring structure 8; the addition port 3 is arranged inclined from the outside to the inside.

[0017] An inclined surface is provided above the mixing injection chamber to form a conical mixing injection chamber, and the argon injection pipe extends into the mixing injection chamber and is located on the right side of the blanking port, so that a negative pressure is formed at the blanking port, which can quickly transport the additive and prevent blockage at the blanking port.

[0018] The spray distance of the material discharged from the addition port can be adjusted by adjusting the argon supply speed, thereby improving the distribution uniformity of the deoxidizer and alkalinity regulator.

[0019] The inner end of the addition port is provided with a flaring structure, thereby expanding the dispersion surface and facilitating the improvement of the distribution area and uniformity of the deoxidizer and alkalinity regulator.

When it is necessary to add alkalinity regulator or deoxidizer, the valve of the corresponding blanking port is simply opened. Under the action of negative pressure suction, the alkalinity regulator or deoxidizer is sucked into the mixing ejector chamber, blown into the corresponding tapered connecting branch pipe, and then into the delivery pipe. Finally, it is blown out from the addition port and dispersed into the furnace liquid in the LF refining furnace body. When no addition is required, argon is blown into the addition port.

[0022] The argon bottom blowing system blows argon from the air-permeable bricks at the bottom to stir the liquid inside the furnace.
