Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of blast furnace ironmaking equipment, and in particular to a bending pipe clamping and fastening device. Background Technology

[0002] The bend clamping device is typically installed on both sides of the bend in the blast furnace air intake system. It securely fixes the bend to the blast furnace shell, achieving a seal between the front end of the air intake system and the spherical surface of the tuyeres. Currently, this device requires manual hammering during installation to achieve the desired tightening effect, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The hammering cannot guarantee appropriate force and frequency, and excessive hammering can cause deformation or breakage of the device; it also cannot ensure consistent tightening force on both sides, leading to loosening or detachment of the clamping device during use, thus affecting the normal operation of the blast furnace.

[0003] The current manual hammering installation method is inefficient. As blast furnaces become increasingly larger, more clamping devices will be required, typically around 60 to 80 for medium and large blast furnaces. This installation method significantly increases operator fatigue and prolongs equipment maintenance time. Therefore, designing an improved bent-tube clamping device is imperative.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a bend pipe clamping and fastening device includes a fin plate 131 fixedly installed on the bend pipe 13 and a tensioning device with one end rotatably connected to the furnace shell 12 and the other end clamped on the fin plate 131; the fin plate 131 is provided with a U-shaped bayonet at the end away from the bend pipe 13; the tensioning device includes a screw 6 clamped in the U-shaped bayonet of the fin plate 131 and a fastening mechanism threadedly connected to the screw 6; one end of the screw 6 is rotatably connected to the furnace shell 12, and the other end passes through the U-shaped bayonet of the fin plate 131 to provide a fastening mechanism for clamping the fin plate 131; the fastening mechanism is provided with an anti-reverse structure 15.

[0030] The fastening mechanism includes a tightening nut 1, a positioning ring 2, a compression spring, a convex ring 4, and a concave washer 5. The positioning ring 2 and the convex ring 4 are located on the side of the tightening nut 1 near the fin 131. A compression spring is located between the positioning ring 2 and the convex ring 4. A concave washer 5 is located between the convex ring 4 and the fin 131. The tightening nut 1, the positioning ring 2, the compression spring, the convex ring 4, and the concave washer 5 are all fitted onto the screw 6. The tightening nut 1 and the screw 6 are connected by threads. When the tightening screw rotates, the convex ring 4 and the concave washer 5 rotate due to the friction of the spherical surface, buffering the reaction force when the spring is compressed.

[0031] The external thread of the screw 6 is a trapezoidal thread. The inner surface of the tightening nut 1 is provided with an internal thread that matches the trapezoidal external thread of the screw 6. The tightening nut 1 is provided with an anti-return mechanism that can be locked in the trapezoidal thread of the screw 6 to achieve the locking of the tightening nut 1, which is used to prevent the tightening nut 1 from loosening due to displacement deformation under high temperature environment.

[0032] The anti-return structure 15 includes a sleeve 33, which is fixedly installed on the tightening nut 1. A tension spring 34 is provided inside the sleeve 33 near the tightening nut 1. A movable shaft 35 is inserted into the tension spring 34. A handle 31 is fixedly installed at one end of the movable shaft 35 away from the tightening nut 1, and a steel ball 36 is built into the other end. The end of the tension spring 34 near the handle 31 is fixedly connected to the sleeve 33, and the other end is fixedly connected to the movable shaft 35. A positioning pin 32 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the movable shaft 35. The positioning pin 32 extends out of the side of the movable shaft 35. A U-shaped notch is provided at the upper end of the sleeve 33. When the positioning pin 32 moves into the U-shaped notch of the sleeve 33, the steel ball end of the movable shaft 35 extends into the tightening nut 1, and the steel ball 36 is stuck in the trapezoidal thread of the screw 6 to achieve a locking function. When the positioning pin 32 is stuck at the end of the sleeve 33, the steel ball end of the movable shaft 35 is pulled into the sleeve 33.

[0033] The side of the tightening nut 1 has a lubrication port for adding grease, which is used to periodically inject grease for lubrication maintenance. The lubrication port is plugged with a pressure injection cup 37.

[0034] The end of the tightened nut 1 away from the fin 131 is connected to an extension fastening rod 11 via a hexagonal fit, which is used to extend the operating space. The extension fastening rod 11 can be used with a pneumatic hammer, and the extension fastening rod 11 can be rotated by the pneumatic hammer to replace manual hammering.

[0035] The screw 6 is connected to the furnace shell 12 via a universal joint, which allows the bent pipe 13 to swing in four directions (up, down, left, and right) after the fastening device is fixed to the furnace shell 12, ensuring free installation and disassembly.

[0036] Working principle: When in use, insert one end of the bent pipe 13 into the furnace shell 12, and lock the tensioning device onto the fin 131 of the bent pipe 13. By rotating the tightening nut 1 or rotating the extension fastening rod 11 with a pneumatic blower, the compression spring compresses the concave pad 5 to tighten the fin 131, thereby fixing and tightening the bent pipe 13. Rotate the handle 31 of the anti-reverse structure 15 to rotate the positioning pin 32 to the U-shaped notch position of the sleeve 33. Press down the handle 31, and the steel ball 36 at the end of the movable shaft 35 is locked into the trapezoidal thread of the screw 6, thereby achieving the locking function. Lubrication and maintenance can be performed periodically by adding grease through the filling port on the tightening nut 1. During use, the pressure oil cup 37 can be used for plugging.

[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this utility model as claimed.
