Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stainless steel smelting technology, specifically to a circulating gas regulating device for a vacuum furnace in stainless steel smelting. Background Technology
[0002] The circulating gas regulating device for a vacuum furnace in stainless steel smelting is a device used to control and regulate the circulating gas during the stainless steel smelting process. Its main function is to optimize the circulation and treatment of molten steel to improve the quality of molten steel and smelting efficiency. The ladle is lifted by a hydraulic system to submerge the immersion tube of the vacuum tank with molten steel. Then, the vacuum exhaust system is started to form an internal and external pressure difference, and gas is blown in through the gas pipeline to drive the circulation of molten steel.
[0003] Currently, most exhaust methods involve using a vacuum pump to draw air from the furnace. After the air is drawn out, inert gas is injected through a gas supply structure to form a circulating gas. Exhausting and injecting gas are achieved by two separate structures. Furthermore, relying solely on suction can only create a relatively vacuum environment, and some air will inevitably remain inside the furnace. The oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other components in the residual air will mix into the molten steel, inevitably affecting the smelting effect. Utility Model Content

[0051] 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.
[0052] Please see Figure 1-7In this embodiment of the present invention, a circulating gas regulating device for a stainless steel smelting vacuum furnace includes an injection channel 1, a balance regulating structure 2, a power structure 3, and an exhaust structure 4. The injection channel 1 includes a base ring 101, and a plurality of inclined tubes 102 are arranged and interspersed at equal angles on the side surface of the base ring 101. The outer ends of the plurality of inclined tubes 102 are interconnected with the ring pipe 103, and a first gas supply pipe 104 is connected to one side of the ring pipe 103. The balance regulating structure 2 includes a pressure tank 201, and the lower edge of one side of the pressure tank 201 is interconnected with the first gas supply pipe 104. The power structure 3 is interconnected with the pressure tank 201. The exhaust structure 4 is interconnected with the power structure 3.
[0053] Specifically, the inclined tubes 102 are inserted into the vacuum furnace through the base ring 101, and the exhaust structure 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the vacuum furnace. The smelting gas is introduced into the ring pipe 103 through the first gas supply pipe 104. After being split, it is introduced into the vacuum furnace through each inclined tube 102 at an inclined position, forming a flowing cyclone. When cleaning the air in the furnace, the multi-point and multi-directional gas injection can quickly and relatively evenly contact and mix with the air in the furnace, and squeeze the air in the furnace. The air is then squeezed out of the furnace from the exhaust structure 4, realizing the air cleaning work. When smelting stainless steel, the gas discharged from the inclined tubes 102 is recycled by the exhaust structure 4 to form a circulating gas, which drives the molten steel circulation and optimizes the circulation and treatment process of the molten steel to improve the quality of the molten steel and the smelting efficiency. The swirling airflow can also drive the molten steel to flow and circulate in a swirling manner, improving the smelting effect.
[0054] Example 1
[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the first gas supply pipe 104 is fixedly connected to a first one-way valve 105; the power structure 3 includes a pump head 301, a motor 302, a three-way valve 303, an electric valve 304, an external pipe port 305, and a third gas supply pipe 306. One side of the pump head 301 is connected to the second gas supply pipe 210; the output end of the motor 302 is fixedly connected to the internal blades of the pump head 301; one end of the three-way valve 303 is fixedly connected to the pump head 301; the electric valve 304 is embedded in the middle of the three-way valve 303; the external pipe port 305 is fixedly installed at one end of the three-way valve 303; and the third gas supply pipe 306 is connected to the other end of the three-way valve 303.
[0056] In this embodiment, the motor 302 drives the blades inside the pump head 301 to rotate, and the gas supply structure is connected from the external pipe port 305. The gas is introduced into the pressure tank 201 through the second gas supply pipe 210 and then injected into the ring pipe 103 through the first gas supply pipe 104 to perform the gas injection operation. After the air in the furnace is squeezed out, the electric valve 304 changes the direction of the three-way valve 303 channel to stop the gas supply from the external pipe port 305, which mainly drives the air inside the pipeline to form a circulating gas.
[0057] like Figure 5-7 As shown, in this embodiment, the exhaust structure 4 includes an exhaust port 401, a mounting flange 402, a sliding groove 403, an air outlet 404, a slider 405, a handle 406, a connecting plate 407, and an air outlet hole 408. One side of the exhaust port 401 is connected to one end of the No. 3 air supply pipe 306. The mounting flange 402 is fixedly sleeved at the lower opening of the exhaust port 401. The sliding groove 403 is inserted into both sides of the upper surface of the exhaust port 401. The air outlet 404 is inserted into the middle of the upper surface of the exhaust port 401. The slider 405 is slidably engaged with the groove 403; the handle 406 is rotatably installed on the upper edge of the exhaust port 401, and the bottom side of the handle 406 is fixedly connected to the slider 405; the connecting plate 407 is rotatably installed on the inner top of the exhaust port 401, and the upper side of the connecting plate 407 is fixedly connected to the slider 405; the exhaust hole 408 is inserted into the middle of the connecting plate 407; a sealing plate 409 is fixedly installed on the bottom edge of the connecting plate 407, and an elastic soft pad 410 is fixedly installed on the adjacent surface of the sealing plate 409 and the inner wall of the exhaust port 401.
[0058] In practice, during exhaust, the exhaust port 408 and the exhaust outlet 404 are aligned with each other. The connection between the No. 3 gas supply pipe 306 and the exhaust pipe 401 is blocked by the sealing plate 409, so that the air inside the vacuum furnace is discharged from the exhaust outlet 404 and the exhaust port 408. After the air inside the furnace is exhausted, the connecting plate 407 is rotated by the handle 406 to make the exhaust outlet 404 and the exhaust port 408 separate and block each other. The sealing plate 409 is then rotated to open one end of the No. 3 gas supply pipe 306. The No. 3 gas supply pipe 306 is used to connect the furnace space and the three-way valve 303, connecting the circulation channel and realizing gas circulation.
[0059] Example 2
[0060] Based on Example 1, in order to supplement the pressure regulation method in the entire circulating gas regulation structure that was not mentioned in Example 1.
[0061] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the balance adjustment structure 2 further includes a limiting support column 202, a piston plate 203, a limiting guide rod 204, a pressure spring 205, a spring base plate 206, an internally threaded pipe 207, a lead screw 208, an adjustment handle 209, and a second gas supply pipe 210. The limiting support column 202 is fixedly installed on the lower edge of the inner wall of the pressure tank 201 in a ring-shaped, equidistant arrangement. The piston plate 203 is slidably sleeved inside the pressure tank 201. The limiting guide rod 204 is fixedly installed on the upper edge of the piston plate 203 in a ring-shaped, equidistant arrangement, with the upper end of the limiting guide rod 204 sliding through the upper edge of the pressure tank 201. The pressure spring 205 is sleeved on the limiting support column 202, a piston plate 203, a limiting guide rod 204, a pressure guide rod 205, a spring base plate 206, a spring plate 207, a threaded pipe 208, an adjustment handle 209, and a second gas supply pipe 210. The side surface of the guide rod 204; the spring base plate 206 is slidably sleeved inside the upper end of the pressure tank 201, the edge of the spring base plate 206 is slidably sleeved with the guide rod 204, and the bottom side of the spring base plate 206 abuts against the upper end of the pressure spring 205; the internal threaded tube 207 is rotatably installed in the middle of the upper side of the pressure tank 201; the lead screw 208 is screwed into the internal threaded tube 207, and the lower end of the lead screw 208 is fixedly connected to the spring base plate 206; the adjusting handle 209 is fixedly installed in the upper end of the internal threaded tube 207; the second gas supply pipe 210 is fixedly installed in the bottom side of the pressure tank 201, and the second one-way valve 211 is fixedly installed in the middle section of the second gas supply pipe 210.
[0062] In practice, gas enters the pressure tank 201 from the bottom and enters the first gas supply pipe 104 from one side of the pressure tank 201. The pressure spring 205 provides elastic support to the piston plate 203, and the piston plate 203 elastically compresses the gas inside the pressure tank 201 to balance the airflow. At the same time, the internal threaded pipe 207 can be rotated by adjusting the handle 209, which in turn moves the lead screw 208, controlling the lead screw 208 to move up and down and driving the spring base plate 206 to move down. This increases the elastic strength of the pressure spring 205 by pre-pressing it, thereby adjusting the balanced air pressure range.
[0063] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
