Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of blast furnace maintenance equipment, specifically a blast furnace skimming device. Background Technology
[0002] With increasingly stringent environmental protection standards, the steel smelting industry is also conducting more frequent blast furnace maintenance in order to meet environmental requirements. The start-up and shutdown of blast furnaces have a significant impact on blast furnace refractory materials, which can cause damage and shorten the service life of the refractory materials. It is necessary to repair and restore the furnace shape of the blast furnace lining refractory materials from time to time to ensure the stable operation of the blast furnace. During blast furnace maintenance, the coke-filling method is used to shut down the furnace. This method involves adding wet coke from the top of the furnace to control the temperature. The furnace is shut down after all the iron-containing material above the tuyeres has been reduced. This method is relatively safe. However, after shutdown, a large amount of coke remains in the blast furnace. This coke needs to be removed from the blast furnace and the furnace needs to be quickly and safely cleared before maintenance and repair work can be carried out. The traditional cleaning method is manual, which is inefficient and has a poor working environment. Workers need to work in high temperatures, which can easily lead to burns and other accidents. Chinese patent CN220887574U discloses an automatic blast furnace clearing machine that uses a motor to drive the rotation of a spiral blade. The spiral blade and the conveying cylinder work together to transfer the furnace charge. However, the spiral blade in this patent is only supported by the motor end. During the clearing operation, the spiral blade shakes significantly under stress, resulting in severe blade wear and frequent damage to the motor end bearing, which affects work efficiency. Therefore, to address the above problems, a blast furnace clearing device that can operate stably is proposed. Utility Model Content
