Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of converters, and in particular to a converter hanging device. Background Technology
[0002] The three-point suspension system for converters is a commonly used connection device between the support ring and the furnace shell in the steel industry. This device effectively ensures the connection and relative position between the support ring and the furnace shell. However, the three-point suspension system is difficult to maintain, and the bolts in the system frequently break. A broken bolt can cause the converter to shut down, posing a significant safety hazard to production. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the converter suspension system. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a converter hanging device that is not easily damaged and has a long service life.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A converter hanging device includes a furnace shell and a support ring. Multiple furnace shell supports are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the furnace shell. Vertical grooves are provided in the furnace shell supports. A support ring support is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support ring below the furnace shell supports. A horizontal groove is provided in the support ring support. Sliding connectors are connected in the vertical grooves and the horizontal grooves.
[0006] The sliding connector includes slider one, slider two, and a connecting plate. Slider one and slider two are vertically connected, and the connecting plate connects slider one and slider two. Slider one is slidably connected to a vertical slide groove, and slider two is slidably connected to a horizontal slide groove.
[0007] The connecting plate is a triangular plate or a strip.
[0008] The furnace shell support is provided with an opening groove for accommodating a sliding connecting plate, and the opening groove is vertically connected to the vertical sliding groove.
[0009] The support ring is provided with an opening groove two for accommodating the sliding connecting plate, and the opening groove two is vertically connected to the horizontal sliding groove.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This invention avoids significant stress when the support ring and furnace shell are heated differently, preventing breakage of the sliding connector and ensuring proper connection and relative position between the support ring and furnace shell, thus extending the service life of the converter hanging device. It is easy to install and replace, and the small gap in the hanging device minimizes impact during converter rotation. Attached Figure Description
