Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to metallurgical equipment technical field, further belongs to steel converter equipment technical field, and specifically relates to a converter ladle horizontal automatic bottom argon blowing device which is simple in structure, easy to install and reliable in operation. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bottom argon (nitrogen) blowing of the converter ladle is an indispensable link for improving the quality of molten steel. The bottom argon blowing of the converter ladle is to blow argon into the ladle from the bottom of the ladle after the molten steel is discharged into the ladle. By controlling the pressure and time of argon blowing, the molten steel is boiled and refined, the chemical reaction is accelerated, the harmful gas and inclusions are removed, the composition and temperature uniformity of the molten steel are improved, and the inclusions in the molten steel effectively float up, thereby improving the quality of the casting blank. In the current steelmaking operation, the bottom argon blowing operation adopts manual docking and automatic docking. The manual operation adopts a quick connector to dock and blow argon. The operator needs to plug and unplug the hose in the high-temperature danger zone, which is easy to cause the molten steel to splash and fly out to cause safety accidents, and also easy to cause the ladle to turn over and burn the argon blowing pipeline. The automatic docking adopts a vertical docking mode, mainly including a flat plate type automatic docking device and a cylinder type automatic docking device. The flat plate type automatic docking device has the problems of low correction amplitude and easy accumulation of steel slag and other impurities on the upper plane, which leads to poor docking effect and gas leakage. Moreover, the sealing ring on the docking bottom plate installed on the saddle of the ladle car is directly exposed outside, which is easy to be burned by the steel slag and damaged by the ladle, and has a high failure rate. The vertical cylinder automatic docking device avoids the shortcomings of the flat plate type docking device, but it is vertically installed on the saddle of the ladle car. When the ladle is placed on the ladle car, it is easy to collide with the ladle. In order to align the ladle, the placement speed is not high. Moreover, because of the vertical installation, the self-weight of the cylinder needs to be solved before the successful docking and blowing of the argon, which has a certain lower limit range of the pressure of the argon, which is not conducive to the low-pressure soft blowing of the molten steel. Therefore, the research and development of a converter ladle horizontal automatic bottom argon blowing device which is simple in structure, easy to install and reliable in operation is the key to solve this problem.
