Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metallurgy and steelmaking, and particularly relates to a dual-angle heterocentric high-efficiency oxygen lance nozzle for blowing. Background Technology

[0002] Converter steelmaking is the main process in steel production, accounting for approximately 90% of my country's total steel output. The oxygen lance in the converter steelmaking process is one of the most crucial pieces of equipment. Its performance and lifespan determine the efficiency, quality, and economic benefits of steelmaking.

[0003] Modern steelmaking technology uses a rationally designed oxygen lance nozzle. The oxygen jet is ejected from the oxygen lance nozzle at a certain angle. Before reaching the surface of the molten steel, the jet velocity and dynamic pressure continuously decrease. Finally, the jet enters the interior of the molten pool, stirring the molten steel to complete the steel smelting.

[0004] By changing the arrangement, flow ratio, tilt angle, outlet center distance, and other design parameters, as well as the operating pressure and smelting lance position, the oxygen lance jet can achieve good independence and dynamic conditions, thus playing a role in heating, decarburizing, and dephosphorizing the molten steel in the converter.

[0005] Traditional oxygen lance nozzle arrangements with equal flow rate and equal tilt angle have significant limitations in improving oxygen lance smelting efficiency. Currently, domestic steel enterprises mainly face problems such as low oxygen supply intensity, long blowing time, difficulty in slag formation, low dephosphorization rate, and easy splashing. Dual-flow rate and dual-angle oxygen lance nozzles have great potential to improve the economic benefits of smelting.

[0006] The current status of relevant patents and publicly available technical literature regarding dual-angle, dual-flow nozzles is as follows:

[0007] Patent CN 201908105U describes "a dual-angle dual-flow 6-hole oxygen lance nozzle". The dual-angle design concept can increase the blowing area, but the blowing area is also affected by the specific size of the nozzle. However, this patent does not consider the impact of the size change of the dual nozzle on the blowing area.

[0008] Patent CN 216337769 U describes "a multi-hole oxygen lance nozzle with dual angles and multiple flow rates". This patent divides the nozzle into two groups and arranges them in an alternating manner, and designs its oxygen flow rate and included angle respectively to form multiple supersonic oxygen jets with different angles and flow rates and cross arrangement, which expands the impact area of ​​oxygen on the molten pool. However, the multiple jets may cross prematurely, which affects the stirring effect. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a dual-angle heterocentric high-efficiency oxygen lance nozzle. By varying the number of oxygen columns, inlet area, throat area, outlet area, diameter of the circle where each oxygen column is located, and the angle between the centerline of the oxygen column and the centerline of the nozzle, the impact depth is increased and the stirring effect is enhanced while ensuring a certain impact area.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] A dual-angle heterocentric high-efficiency oxygen lance nozzle includes a nozzle, an outer tube, a middle tube, and an oxygen tube. The nozzle is integrally formed with an upper part of the nozzle, a nozzle crown, an oxygen column connected between the upper part of the nozzle and the nozzle crown, and a baffle plate integrally connected to the oxygen column. The oxygen tube is connected to the upper part of the nozzle, the outer tube is connected to the nozzle crown, the middle tube is disposed between the outer tube and the oxygen tube, and the baffle plate is connected to the middle tube. Three sets of oxygen columns are arranged heterocentrically on different concentric circles. The angle between the first set of oxygen columns and the center line is 8° to 10°, and the angles between the second and third sets of oxygen columns and the center line are 14° to 16°. The diameter of the circle containing the first set of oxygen columns is smaller than the diameter of the circle containing the second set of oxygen columns, and the diameter of the circle containing the first set of oxygen columns is larger than the diameter of the circle containing the third set of oxygen columns.

[0012] The nozzle diameter is 355mm or more.

[0013] The inlet diameter of the first group of oxygen columns is dA = (0.15~0.17)D, the throat diameter is dB = (0.11~0.13)D, and the outlet diameter is dC = (0.16~0.18)D, where D is the nozzle diameter.

[0014] The second group of oxygen columns has an inlet diameter of da = (0.70~0.72)dA, a throat diameter of db = (0.63~0.65)dB, and an outlet diameter of dc = (0.62~0.64)dC.

[0015] The inlet diameter of the third group of oxygen columns is da' = (0.70~0.72)dA, the throat diameter is db' = (0.63~0.65)dB, and the outlet diameter is dc' = (0.62~0.64)dC.

[0016] The first group of oxygen columns consists of 4 columns, the second group of oxygen columns consists of 2 columns, and the third group of oxygen columns consists of 2 columns.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention improves the impact area and depth, and enhances the stirring effect by varying the number of oxygen columns, inlet area, throat area, outlet area, the diameter of the circle where each oxygen column is located, and the alignment of the oxygen column centerline with the nozzle centerline. This improves the smelting efficiency of converter steelmaking. Eight jets are simultaneously blown into the molten pool at three different angles, which not only increases the impact area but also reduces the erosion and corrosion of the furnace lining. Large-diameter oxygen columns use small jet angles, while small-diameter oxygen columns use large jet angles, enhancing the impact force of the jets ejected from the oxygen columns, increasing the impact depth, and improving the ability to stir the molten pool. The concentric arrangement of multiple oxygen columns prolongs the convergence time of the jets ejected from the oxygen columns within the molten pool, enhancing the impact force of each jet and improving the ability to stir the molten pool and the blowing effect.
