Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bottom blowing equipment for metallurgical converters, specifically to a carbon dioxide injection device for bottom blowing in converter smelting. Background Technology

[0002] Bottom blowing technology in converter steelmaking is an important process in modern steel production, primarily used to improve the efficiency and quality of converter steelmaking. Bottom blowing refers to blowing gases (such as oxygen, argon, nitrogen, etc.) into the molten pool through nozzles located at the bottom of the converter to promote agitation and uniform distribution of reactants within the molten pool. As an effective auxiliary method, bottom blowing technology plays a crucial role in improving the quality and efficiency of converter steelmaking. With continuous technological innovation and development, the application prospects of bottom blowing technology will become even broader.

[0003] Currently, bottom-blowing equipment directly installs the nozzle pipe into the mounting groove outside the permeable brick. Because the nozzle uses a straight-through pipe without pressurization, the gas exiting the nozzle cannot form effective pressure. The low pressure after the gas passes through the permeable brick results in waste and poor bottom-blowing effect. Increasing the gas pressure through external pressurization equipment also wastes energy. Therefore, it is necessary to design a bottom-blowing carbon dioxide injection device for converter smelting to increase the nozzle's injection pressure and solve the problems of low gas pressure and high energy consumption in the current bottom-blowing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an injection device for bottom blowing carbon dioxide in converter smelting.

A pressurized nozzle is installed in the jet pipe. The pressurized nozzle is provided with a main air outlet and multiple side air outlets.

[0006] Specifically, the bottom of the converter is provided with multiple bottom blowing mounting holes, and permeable bricks are provided in the bottom blowing mounting holes. Protective bricks are provided on the outer periphery of the permeable bricks. The inner sides of both the permeable bricks and the protective bricks extend into the converter. The length of the permeable bricks is less than the length of the protective bricks to form the mounting groove for the bottom blowing nozzles.

[0007] Specifically, the bottom blowing nozzle is installed in the mounting groove of the bottom blowing nozzle, and the air inlet at the rear of the bottom blowing nozzle includes air inlet one, air inlet two and air inlet three, all of which are connected to the mixing chamber.

[0008] Specifically, the flange outside the first air inlet is bolted to a carbon dioxide inlet pipe, the flange outside the second air inlet is bolted to an argon inlet pipe, and the flange outside the third air inlet is bolted to a nitrogen inlet pipe.

[0009] Specifically, the end of the jet pipe is provided with a baffle, which blocks the reduced diameter pipe of the pressurized nozzle. The rear of the reduced diameter pipe is connected to the main pipe, and the front of the reduced diameter pipe is connected to the inclined pipe.

[0010] Specifically, the front of the inclined tube is provided with a main air outlet, and the side wall of the inclined tube is provided with multiple side air outlets.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a bottom-blowing carbon dioxide injection device for converter smelting includes a bottom-blowing nozzle 1 and a pressurized nozzle 2. The bottom-blowing nozzle 1 is installed at the bottom of the converter 3. The bottom of the converter 3 has multiple bottom-blowing mounting holes 301. A permeable brick 302 is installed inside each bottom-blowing mounting hole 301. The permeable brick 302 is a new product with a long service life and energy saving, featuring a reasonable structural design, good thermal stability, erosion resistance, corrosion resistance, and impermeability, high blowing efficiency, and safe and reliable operation. A protective brick 303 is provided around the outer periphery of the permeable brick 302. The inner sides of both the permeable brick 302 and the protective brick 303 extend into the converter 3. The length of the permeable brick 302 is less than the length of the protective brick 303. The recessed portion of the permeable brick 302 forms the mounting groove for the bottom-blowing nozzle 1.

[0023] The bottom-blowing nozzle 1 is provided with an air inlet, a mixing chamber 104, a jet pipe 105, a jet housing 106, and a filling layer 107. The jet housing 106 has a mixing chamber 104 at its rear, and multiple air inlets are connected to the mixing chamber 104. The jet housing 106 has a filling layer 107 on its rear inner side. The filling layer 107 is made of high-temperature resistant clay material. Four jet pipes 105 are provided inside the filling layer 107, and pressurized nozzles 2 are installed inside the jet pipes 105.

[0024] A bottom blowing nozzle 1 is installed in the mounting groove of the bottom blowing nozzle. The air inlet at the rear of the bottom blowing nozzle 1 includes an air inlet 101, an air inlet 2 102 and an air inlet 3 103. The air inlet 101, the air inlet 2 102 and the air inlet 3 103 are all connected to the mixing chamber 104.

[0025] The flange outside inlet 101 is bolted to a carbon dioxide inlet pipe. Carbon dioxide reacts with elements in the molten pool to generate CO gas, enhancing the stirring of the converter's molten pool and increasing the calorific value of the gas. The secondary combustion oxygen lance has a side-blowing auxiliary oxygen port, allowing for a larger auxiliary oxygen flow rate and increasing the secondary combustion rate of the rising gas. By re-blowing carbon dioxide gas to increase the calorific value of the gas, and then using the secondary combustion oxygen lance to directly utilize the heat of the gas within the furnace, effective direct furnace heating is achieved, thereby improving the energy utilization efficiency of the molten pool, increasing the scrap steel ratio, and reducing carbon emissions and per-ton steel costs in the converter process. The flange outside inlet 102 is bolted to an argon inlet pipe. Bottom-blowing argon effectively improves the converter's production efficiency. Firstly, by improving the uniformity of temperature within the furnace, bottom-blowing argon increases the melting rate and reaction rate of the metal, shortening the smelting cycle. Secondly, it promotes the flow and mixing of the molten metal, accelerating component homogenization and improving product quality. Finally, it reduces the emission of harmful gases, minimizing production interruptions and cleaning work, further improving production efficiency. The external flange of inlet 3103 is bolted to the nitrogen inlet pipe. Bottom-blown nitrogen achieves precise temperature control by adjusting the nitrogen flow rate and temperature, maintaining temperature stability in the reaction zone and thus improving product quality.

[0026] The pressurized nozzle 2 is provided with a main air outlet 204 and four side air outlets 205. The end of the jet pipe 105 is provided with a baffle, which blocks the reduced diameter pipe body 202 of the pressurized nozzle 2. The rear of the reduced diameter pipe body 202 is connected to the main pipe body 201, and the front of the reduced diameter pipe body 202 is connected to the inclined pipe body 203.

[0027] The front part of the inclined pipe body 203 is provided with a main air outlet 204, and the side pipe wall of the inclined pipe body is provided with four side air outlets 205.

[0028] The baffle is an annular baffle, the inner diameter of which is smaller than the outer diameter of the main body 201. The annular baffle is fixed to the end of the jet pipe 105.

[0029] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Anyone should know that any structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
