[0002] Pig iron produced by blast furnace smelting is divided into steelmaking pig iron and foundry pig iron. Blast furnace smelting of steelmaking pig iron can achieve a high utilization coefficient and low energy consumption. Iron silicon enhancement is a pretreatment process that adds ferrosilicon to molten iron to increase its silicon content to a predetermined value. It can save energy and increase production in blast furnaces, and also improve the quality of molten iron castings. However, existing iron silicon enhancement devices are inconvenient to measure the silicon content when adding ferrosilicon, which can easily lead to excessive or insufficient silicon addition, affecting the quality of molten iron castings. Furthermore, due to the varying sizes of ferrosilicon, existing iron silicon enhancement devices are inconvenient to process the ferrosilicon before silicon addition, making it difficult for larger ferrosilicon to melt and reduce in the smelting furnace, resulting in poor utilization.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a device for increasing silicon content in molten iron during blast furnace smelting, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a support 2 is installed at the bottom of the workbench 1, and a smelting furnace 3 is installed below the workbench 1. A controller 4 is installed on the surface of the workbench 1, and a feeding pipe 5 is installed through the midpoint of the workbench 1. A hopper 6 is installed at the top of the feeding pipe 5. Gears 7 are rotatably connected to both sides of the feeding pipe 5. A baffle 8 is fixed to one end of the two gears 7 near the central axis of the feeding pipe 5, and a rack 10 is meshed with the other end of the two gears 7 away from the central axis of the feeding pipe 5. The two racks 10 are fixed to the side wall of the L-shaped movable plate 9 that is closer together. An L-shaped movable plate 9 is slidably connected to the left and right sides of the feeding pipe 5. Cylinders 11 are provided at both ends of the outer side of the feeding pipe 5, and the cylinders 11 are fixedly connected to the L-shaped movable plate 9. In use, the cylinders 11 on the outer side of the feeding pipe 5 can be extended to drive the L-shaped movable plate 9 to slide upward. The rack 10 on the side wall of the L-shaped movable plate 9 drives the gear 7 that meshes with it to rotate, so that the gear 7 drives the baffle 8 to rotate. This can adjust the opening between the two sets of baffles 8, so as to adjust the flow rate of ferrosilicon inside the hopper 6 and improve its practicality.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the L-shaped movable plate 9 is slidably connected to the outside of the feeding pipe 5, and the weighing hopper 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the feeding pipe 5. At the same time, crushing rollers 16 are provided at both ends of the bottom of the inside of the feeding pipe 5. The weighing hopper 13 is equipped with a pressure sensor 14, and a weighing plate 15 is provided above the pressure sensor 14. The pressure sensor 14 is electrically connected to the controller 4. After the ferrosilicon falls into the weighing hopper 13, the LC-304 pressure sensor 14 will detect the pressure signal and transmit the pressure signal to the controller 4. When the set weight is reached, the controller 4 will depressurize the cylinder 11, causing the cylinder 11 to drive the L-shaped movable plate 9 to descend. The gear 7 and the baffle 8 will rotate through the rack 10 on its side wall, so that the two sets of baffles 8 surround each other, thus stopping the feeding. This allows for accurate measurement of the amount of ferrosilicon fed.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the weighing hopper 13 is connected to the output end of the motor 12, and the motor 12 is located on the outside of the feeding pipe 5. When the amount of ferrosilicon inside the weighing hopper 13 reaches the required level, the controller 4 will turn on the motor 12 on the outside of the feeding pipe 5, so that the motor 12 drives the weighing hopper 13 to rotate, so as to pour out the ferrosilicon in the weighing hopper 13 for unloading.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, drive devices are provided at both ends of the outer side of the feeding pipe 5, and the output end of the drive device is connected to the crushing roller 16. In use, the two sets of drive devices on the outer side of the feeding pipe 5 drive the two sets of crushing rollers 16 to rotate, so that the ferrosilicon can be crushed after being poured out of the weighing hopper 13, so that the ferrosilicon reaches a suitable size so that it can be fully melted, thereby improving the complete melting and utilization of ferrosilicon.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a splash guard 17 is provided at the bottom of the feeding pipe 5. The splash guard 17 is conical. When ferrosilicon falls into the smelting furnace 3, the splash guard 17 can block it, preventing molten iron from splashing out of the outside of the smelting furnace 3 and accidentally injuring the staff, thus improving the safety during use.

[0030] Working principle: When using this blast furnace smelting iron molten silicon-adding device, during the feeding process, the pressure sensor 14 inside the weighing hopper 13 can measure the weight of ferrosilicon. When the set addition weight is reached, the controller 4 will turn on the motor 12 to drive the weighing hopper 13 to rotate, pouring out the ferrosilicon in the weighing hopper 13. Then, the ferrosilicon will be crushed by two sets of crushing rollers 16 to make the ferrosilicon reach a suitable size so that the ferrosilicon can be fully melted. This completes the entire operation. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
