Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper smelting technology, specifically to a quick-connect coupling for preventing backfire in oxygen blowing pipes of smelting enterprises. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in smelting, the use of oxygen to discharge molten metal is quite common and even indispensable. For example, in bottom-blown furnace lead smelting, oxygen pipes are used to discharge slag from the slag outlet. In copper smelting furnaces, oxygen is used to open the copper outlet to discharge copper. Oxygen pipes are generally 8-10m long and about 1-1.5cm in diameter. One end of the oxygen pipe is connected to a pressure-resistant rubber hose and a pure oxygen source, and the other end is heated. The high-temperature reaction between oxygen and iron, the high-pressure airflow purging, and the reaction of oxygen with copper at high temperature, which melts and drips, open the copper outlet to discharge copper.

[0003] In current smelting processes, special attention is paid to the connection between pipes. Most of them are connected by pipe sleeves or flanges, which not only have poor sealing performance, but also make it easy for sparks to flow back, causing the temperature of the pipe joints to be too high, which can easily lead to injury to the workers' hands.

[0004] Based on this, this utility model designs a quick-connect coupling for preventing backfire in oxygen blowing pipes of smelting enterprises to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-connect coupling for preventing backfire in oxygen blowing pipes used in smelting enterprises, in order to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A quick-connector for preventing backfire in oxygen blowing pipes used in smelting enterprises includes an oxygen supply rubber hose. A sleeve is fitted over the outer wall of the oxygen supply rubber hose, and a flexible hose is threaded into the inner wall of the sleeve. A circular flange is fixedly connected to one side of the oxygen supply rubber hose, and a screw is threaded into one side of the circular flange. A nut is threaded into the other side of the circular flange. A rotary joint is fixedly connected inside the circular flange, and an oxygen combustion pipe is fixedly connected inside the rotary joint. A check valve is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the oxygen combustion pipe. The check valve prevents backflow of sparks in the pipeline system during use and can open or close according to the direction of oxygen flow, facilitating operation. Furthermore, the connection between the oxygen supply rubber hose and the oxygen combustion pipe via the rotary joint makes the pipeline connection more convenient and faster, thereby improving the practicality of the connector in use.

[0008] In a further preferred embodiment, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the oxygen supply hose, and a flame arrester is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the flame arrester, and a blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. An outlet is fixedly connected to the top of the flame arrester. By installing the flame arrester, if some sparks flow back into the oxygen supply hose, the flame arrester is activated. The sparks rotate with the rotating shaft, driving the blade to rotate. The swirling guide vanes guide the sparks to rotate and flow, extinguishing large spark dust particles by colliding with the guide vanes or the pipe wall, thereby improving the practicality of the connector.

[0009] More preferably, a fixing tube is sleeved on one side of the oxygen delivery hose, and a circular disc is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing tube. By installing the fixing tube, it is convenient for workers to come into contact with the oxygen delivery hose through the fixing tube, so as to avoid burns caused by oxygen backfire in the pipeline. At the same time, the circular disc can block the oxygen backfire in the pipeline.

[0010] More preferably, the rotary joint has an oil inlet at its top, and a ball bearing is movably connected inside the rotary joint. A gasket is fixedly connected to one side of the ball bearing. By installing the bearing, the load of the moving parts can be borne and guided during use, reducing friction loss under load, while also reducing noise and vibration, and facilitating the connectivity of the device during use.

[0011] More preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to one side of the oxygen-burning pipe, and a connecting joint is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block. By installing the connecting joint, oxygen can flow in the pipe and be delivered to the required location, while also ensuring the tightness of the pipe and preventing oxygen leakage during transportation.

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

[0013] In this invention, by installing a check valve, it is possible to prevent sparks from flowing back into the pipeline system during use. The valve can be opened or closed according to the direction of oxygen flow, making it convenient for workers to use. At the same time, the oxygen delivery hose and the oxygen combustion hose are connected by a rotary joint, making the pipeline connection more convenient and faster, thereby improving the practicality of the joint in use.

[0014] In this invention, by installing a flame arrester, if some sparks flow back into the oxygen supply hose, the flame arrester is activated. The sparks rotate with the rotating shaft, causing the blades to rotate. The swirling guide vanes guide the sparks to rotate and flow, extinguishing large spark dust particles by colliding with the guide vanes or the pipe wall, thereby improving the practicality of the connector.

By installing the check valve 9, the valve can be opened or closed according to the direction of oxygen flow during use. At the same time, the oxygen supply rubber hose 1 and the oxygen combustion pipe 8 are connected through the rotary joint 7, increasing the sealing between the pipes.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a connecting pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the oxygen supply hose 1, and a flame arrester 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 10. A rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected inside the flame arrester 11, and a blade 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12. An outlet 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the flame arrester 11. By installing the flame arrester 11, when some sparks flow back into the oxygen supply hose 1, the flame arrester 11 is activated. The sparks rotate with the rotating shaft 12, driving the blade 13 to rotate. The swirling guide vanes guide the sparks to rotate and flow, extinguishing large spark dust particles by colliding with the guide vanes or the pipe wall, and then discharging them from the outlet 14.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a fixing tube 15 is sleeved on one side of the oxygen delivery rubber tube 1, and a circular disc 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing tube 15. During use, the staff can contact the oxygen delivery rubber tube 1 through the fixing tube 15 to avoid the oxygen from backfired in the pipeline and causing burns. At the same time, the circular disc 16 can block the oxygen from backfired in the pipeline.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotary joint 7 has an oil inlet 17 on its top. The rotary joint 7 is movably connected to a ball bearing 18. A gasket 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the ball bearing 18. In use, the rotary joint 7 bears and guides the load of the moving parts through the ball bearing 18, reducing friction loss under load and reducing noise and vibration.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a connecting block 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the oxygen-burning pipe 8, and a connecting joint 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting block 20. In use, the connecting joint 21 enables oxygen to flow in the pipe and be delivered to the required location, while also ensuring the tightness of the pipe and preventing oxygen leakage during transportation.

[0028] The usage and advantages of this utility model: The working process of this quick-connect oxygen blowing pipe anti-backfire coupling in smelting enterprises is as follows:

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during use, the oxygen supply hose 1 and the oxygen combustion hose 8 are connected by a rotary joint 7. Oxygen flows through the pipeline and is used for combustion through the oxygen combustion hose 8. Since there is a check valve 9 on the outer wall of the oxygen combustion hose 8, the valve can be opened or closed according to the direction of oxygen flow to prevent the backflow of sparks generated during oxygen combustion. If sparks flow back into the oxygen supply hose 1, the flame arrester 11 is activated. The sparks rotate with the rotating shaft 12, driving the paddle 13 to rotate. The swirling guide vanes guide the sparks to rotate and flow, extinguishing large spark dust particles by colliding with the guide vanes or the pipeline wall, and then discharging them from the outlet 14.
