Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metallurgical equipment and relates to a slag collection device and electric furnace for continuous feeding port of scrap steel preheating electric furnace. Background Technology
[0002] Electric arc furnaces are the core production process and equipment in short-process steelmaking, and scrap preheating electric arc furnaces are currently the mainstream structure. The slag collection device at the continuous charging port of the scrap preheating electric arc furnace is used to guide and collect slag from the furnace charging port and is an important auxiliary production device. During the charging process in the electric arc furnace, because the continuous charging trolley is constantly vibrating, a certain gap must be maintained between the trolley tongue and the furnace body. A large amount of slag splashes into this gap and falls onto the tilting equipment and the ground below the continuous charging port. The high-temperature slag then clumps together and accumulates.
[0003] Slag on the tilting equipment of traditional scrap steel preheating electric arc furnaces requires manual cleaning, and slag on the ground below the continuous feed port needs to be cleaned manually with the aid of a loader after production has stopped. In some electric arc furnaces with limited space below the continuous feed port, manual cleaning is entirely necessary. High-temperature slag splashed from the continuous feed port clumps together and needs to be manually broken up and removed from the equipment. Manual cleaning involves high ambient temperatures, poor working conditions, high labor intensity, and long cleaning times. Manual slag cleaning can only be carried out after the electric arc furnace has been shut down. This disrupts the continuous production rhythm of the electric arc furnace and affects its automated smelting operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a slag collection device and electric furnace at the continuous feeding port of a scrap steel preheating electric furnace, which solves the problem of the difficulty in cleaning the slag below the continuous feeding port of the scrap steel preheating electric furnace and the inability to clean the slag online.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a slag collection device for a continuous feed port of a scrap steel preheating electric furnace, comprising a movable chute, a slag collection container, a traveling trolley, and a drive device; the movable chute is fixedly connected to a tilting device and located directly below the continuous feed port of the scrap steel preheating furnace, the movable chute tilts together with the tilting device, the slag collection container is located below the chute for receiving and collecting the slag falling from the chute, the traveling trolley has the slag collection container placed on it and moves via a traveling track; the drive device is located away from the continuous feed port of the electric furnace and is connected to the traveling trolley via pulleys / sprockets and wire ropes / chains to drive the traveling trolley to move on the traveling track.
[0006] Optionally, a fixed chute may be installed between the movable chute and the slag collection container as needed to further gather and guide the slag falling from the movable chute. The fixed chute is fixedly connected to the equipment foundation.
[0007] Optionally, the shape and structure of the movable and fixed chutes can be adjusted according to the layout of the surrounding equipment and objects to ensure effective guidance and collection of steel slag and avoid interference with the surrounding equipment.
[0008] Optionally, the shape of the slag collection container is determined based on the space below the continuous feed port of the electric furnace to ensure that it covers a sufficiently large slag collection area without interfering with the foundation of surrounding equipment.
[0009] Optionally, the traveling trolley is equipped with anti-collision devices, including anti-collision blocks at the slag receiving position and anti-collision blocks at the cleaning position at both ends, to prevent the traveling trolley from colliding during movement.
[0010] Optionally, the pulley / sprocket is fixed to the base on the side of the track slag receiving position and is equipped with a protective cover to protect the pulley / sprocket.
[0011] Optionally, the drive unit is driven by a winch, which uses a combination of wire rope / chain and pulley / sprocket to achieve the reciprocating movement of the trolley on the track.
[0012] An electric furnace includes an electric furnace tilting device and a slag collection device for a continuous feed port for preheating scrap steel, as described above. The slag collection device for the continuous feed port for preheating scrap steel is fixedly connected to the electric furnace tilting device to achieve automatic collection and processing of slag.
[0013] Optionally, the collection container of the electric furnace slag collection device is placed on a traveling trolley and driven by a drive device located at a remote end, so as to realize the online replacement and cleaning of the slag collection container.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a slag collection device and electric furnace for the continuous charging port of a scrap steel preheating electric furnace, which can automatically collect splashed slag from the continuous charging port. A movable chute fixed to the furnace tilting equipment, in conjunction with an optional fixed chute, allows for adjustments to the chute's position and shape, ensuring it avoids surrounding equipment and foundations. This effectively collects splashed slag without affecting equipment operation or maintenance. The slag collection container, located below the continuous charging port, is moved to a slag cleaning position and then handled using mechanical equipment. This invention improves upon the need for entirely manual cleaning of slag from the continuous charging port, significantly reducing cleaning time, labor intensity, and the working environment. This technology also saves manpower for furnace maintenance. This invention solves the problem of equipment shutdown required for slag cleaning below the continuous charging port of a scrap steel preheating electric furnace, allowing for online replacement of the slag collection container. The equipment is easy to use and maintain, with minimal disassembly and assembly work, indirectly increasing economic benefits.
