Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ladle inlet structure, specifically a ladle inlet structure. Background Technology
[0002] The ladle is one of the most important containers in the iron and steel metallurgical process. After molten steel comes out of the converter and enters the ladle, it is not only held, but all secondary refining processes are also completed within the ladle. The top nozzle structure is an important component of the ladle system.
[0003] Referring to Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220760996U, with the publication date of the publication date being April 12, 2024, a steel ladle inlet structure is disclosed, including an upper seat brick, a lower seat brick, and an inlet. A through hole is provided through the center of the inlet, and a flared groove is provided on the upper side of the through hole inside the inlet. An installation cavity is provided below the inlet hole formed by splicing the centers of the upper seat brick and the lower seat brick to accommodate the installation of the inlet. The ladle's water inlet structure is staggered from the joint between the ladle's water inlet and the upper seat brick, and from the joint between the upper and lower water inlet seat bricks. The joint between the ladle's water inlet and the upper seat brick is higher than the joint between the upper and lower water inlet seat bricks, creating a height difference at the joint. This design greatly reduces the possibility of steel leakage at the joint. At the same time, the upper part of the through hole of the ladle's water inlet is changed to a flared shape. This is beneficial for the eccentric block of the pulling device to be stuck at the flared position of the through hole, so that the ladle's water inlet and the eccentric block of the pulling device can effectively bear the force. Then, the water inlet is pulled out by the pull rod, which can improve the efficiency of water inlet replacement.
[0004] However, the existing ladle top nozzle structure has seams in the through-hole wall, which can easily allow molten steel to seep in and affect its service life. Therefore, we propose a ladle top nozzle structure to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-Figure 4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0028] Example 1: In existing ladle nozzle structures, molten steel is prone to oxidation and splashing when poured in. To solve this technical problem, this example discloses the following technical content:
[0029] A steel ladle water inlet structure includes an outer inlet 1, an inner inlet 2, a long water pipe 3, and a preheating component 4. The outer inlet 1 is connected to the inner inlet 2, the inner inlet 2 is provided with the long water pipe 3, the long water pipe 3 is provided with the preheating component 4, and the bottom inner side of the preheating component 4 is connected to a connecting component 5. The inner sides of the long water pipe 3 and the inner inlet 2 are both coated with a smooth wall coating 6.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the long water pipe 3 includes a pipe body 301, a first inclined block 302 and a second inclined block 303. The pipe body 301 is fitted onto the outside of the inner opening 2. The first inclined block 302 is fixedly installed inside the pipe body 301. The second inclined block 303 is fixedly connected to the end of the first inclined block 302 away from the pipe body 301. Molten steel can be poured into the pipe body 301 from the pipe opening. The first inclined block 302 and the second inclined block 303 can make the molten steel flow more smoothly.
[0031] Example 2: The technical content disclosed in this example is a further improvement based on Example 1. The existing ladle inlet structure is not convenient for preheating the pipe body 301. To solve this technical problem, this example discloses the following technical content:
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the preheating component 4 includes a fixed ring post 401 and an annular heating wire 402. The annular heating wire 402 is fixedly installed at equal intervals inside the wall of the fixed ring post 401. The fixed ring post 401 is sleeved on the outside of the tube body 301. When the tube body 301 needs to be preheated, the annular heating wire 402 can be turned on by operating the control panel.
[0033] Example 3: Existing ladle nozzle structures have seams on their inner walls, allowing molten steel to easily seep in, thus affecting the nozzle's service life. To solve this technical problem, this example discloses the following technical content:
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner opening 2 includes an inner connecting wall 201 and an outer connecting wall 202. The inner connecting wall 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer opening 1, and the outer connecting wall 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer opening 1. The inner connecting wall 201 and the outer connecting wall 202 form an annular block similar to an "n" shape, so that the inner opening 2 covers the top of the outer opening 1, making the inner wall of the formed water passage seamless. The first inclined block 302 and the second inclined block 303 are both set at the top of the outer side of the inner opening 2. The first inclined block 302 and the second inclined block 303 fit against the top of the inner opening 2, and the joint between the second inclined block 303 and the inner opening 2 is a slope, which makes it difficult for molten steel to seep in. The inner connecting wall 201, the pipe body 301, the inner walls of the first inclined block 302 and the second inclined block 303 are all coated with a smooth wall coating 6, which prevents molten steel from adhering to the inner wall and improves the service life of the structure.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the connecting component 5 includes a first threaded connection port 501, a second threaded connection port 502, a third threaded connection port 503, and a fixed threaded rod 504. The first threaded connection port 501, the second threaded connection port 502, and the third threaded connection port 503 are respectively located inside the outer connecting wall 202, the pipe body 301, and the fixed ring column 401. The fixed threaded rod 504 is threaded into each of the first threaded connection port 501, the second threaded connection port 502, and the third threaded connection port 503. When disassembling, unscrew all the fixed threaded rods 504. When installing, remove the preheating component 4 and the long water pipe 3 from the outside to the inside. When installing, first put the long water pipe 3 on the outside of the inner opening 2, and align the first threaded connection port 501 and the second threaded connection port 502. Then put on the preheating component 4, align the second threaded connection port 502 and the third threaded connection port 503, and screw the fixed threaded rod 504 into the third threaded connection port 503 to fix it.
