Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to metallurgical technical field relates to a water -cooled furnace cover for ladle refining furnace. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the current steel smelting technical field, the ladle refining furnace as the key equipment of improving the quality of molten steel, the optimization of its performance is directly related to the improvement of production efficiency and product quality. However, the water-cooled furnace cover design of traditional ladle refining furnace, especially the plate type induced draft flue and the tubular water-cooled structure of main dust removal flue used in the lower skirt, although meet the production demand to some extent, but a series of problems to be solved are exposed in actual application.

[0003] Firstly, the plate type induced draft flue design of the lower skirt of the furnace cover, since it is directly exposed to the high-temperature and high-dust smelting environment, is easy to be blocked by the splashed slag in the smelting process. These blockages are not only difficult to clean, but also increase the labor intensity and safety risk of workers, and at the same time affect the effective capture and emission of flue gas, reduce the dust removal efficiency, and cause potential pollution to the environment.

[0004] Secondly, the tubular water-cooled structure of the main dust removal flue, although can effectively control the flue temperature, but this design requires a large amount of cooling water, not only increases the production cost, but also puts pressure on water resources. In today's energy shortage and precious water resources, it is particularly important to find a more energy-efficient cooling solution.

[0005] Thirdly, the butt joint surface between the dust removal flue of the furnace cover and the dust removal pipeline is designed as a parallel vertical surface with a reserved gap. The original intention of this design is to facilitate the lifting operation of the furnace cover. However, in the actual operation process, this gap becomes a channel for the mixing of "wild wind" (i.e. unfiltered external air) into the furnace, not only dilutes the furnace atmosphere, affects the smelting effect, but also may introduce impurities, reduce the purity of molten steel.

[0006] In addition, the nitrogen sealing system of the material tapping pipe also has problems. In the traditional design, nitrogen sealing is mainly used to prevent the leakage of furnace gas, but due to improper structure or operation, nitrogen sealing failure may occasionally occur, leading to fluctuations in the furnace atmosphere, and even may cause suffocation risk, posing a serious threat to production safety.

[0007] In summary, the design of the existing water-cooled furnace cover and dust removal system of the ladle refining furnace has many deficiencies, and urgent technical innovation and improvement are needed to promote the sustainable development of the steel industry and achieve the win-win of environmental friendliness and economic benefits.
