Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a novel measuring device for detecting the bursting temperature of green pellets, belonging to the technical field of green pellet performance testing in the metallurgical industry. Background Technology

[0002] Compared to sinter, ore pellets have a significant environmental advantage in terms of pollutant emissions. Increasing the proportion of ore pellets in blast furnaces and implementing high-proportion pellet smelting has become an important measure for energy conservation and emission reduction in ironmaking processes and for green and low-carbon blast furnace ironmaking. Therefore, when blast furnaces adopt high-proportion pellet smelting, the quality of the ore pellets is particularly important.

[0003] In the production process of green pellets, the bursting temperature is a key indicator that needs to be monitored. If the bursting temperature is low, numerous cracks are likely to form in the pellets during the drying stage, affecting the strength of the finished pellets. If the strength of the finished pellets does not meet requirements, they are prone to breakage under mechanical force, producing a large amount of powder. This leads to an increase in the pressure differential inside the blast furnace, affecting the stable operation of the blast furnace. Current methods for detecting the bursting temperature of green pellets have drawbacks such as high repetition rates and the need for manual observation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an automatic device for detecting the thermal bursting temperature of pellets. This device would rapidly detect the bursting performance of green pellets under specific raw material conditions, thereby guiding on-site production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art, specifically the difficulty in real-time and intuitive observation of the bursting of green bulbs using current laboratory green bulb bursting temperature devices, and the susceptibility to errors in manual judgment. This invention provides a novel measuring device for detecting green bulb bursting temperature. By collecting sound data, it can monitor the bursting process of the green bulbs and the corresponding wind speed and temperature in real time, thus obtaining the bursting temperature more quickly and accurately. This is of great significance for improving green bulb bursting detection and analysis methods, reducing workload, and increasing the accuracy of bursting temperature readings.

[0005] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel measuring device for detecting the bursting temperature of green pellets includes: a hook, a pellet drying cup, a metal anemometer, a vertical heating furnace, a high-alumina pellet tank, a support platform, an air duct, a glass rotor flow meter, a constant-volume Roots blower, a PLC control unit, a furnace temperature thermocouple, an air temperature thermocouple, a sound sensor, and a lifting platform.

[0007] The lifting platform is connected to the pellet drying cup via a hook at its front end. A vertical heating furnace is installed on the support platform, and the pellet drying cup is located inside the vertical heating furnace. An air duct is connected below the support platform, and a glass rotor flow meter is installed inside the air duct. A sound sensor is placed in the middle of the pellet drying cup to collect acoustic signals during the green pellet bursting process. A wind temperature thermocouple is located at the bottom of the pellet drying cup, and a high-alumina pellet tank is placed below the wind temperature thermocouple. The high-alumina pellet tank is located in the middle of the vertical heating furnace and is used to heat the air blown in by the constant-volume Roots blower. A furnace temperature thermocouple is installed in the middle of the vertical heating furnace body. The wind temperature thermocouple, sound sensor, and metal wind speed measuring instrument are all connected to the PLC control unit.

[0008] Furthermore, the vertical heating furnace contains a cavity, the cavity wall contains silicon molybdenum rods, and the high-alumina spherical tank is placed in the center of the silicon molybdenum rods, with the pellet drying cup placed on top of the high-alumina spherical tank.

[0009] Furthermore, a refractory insulation layer is provided on the outside of the cavity of the vertical heating furnace.

[0010] Furthermore, an acoustic sensor is installed inside the upper insulation layer of the vertical heating furnace to monitor the acoustic signal of green pellet bursting during the experiment. The number of green pellet bursts is captured by the acoustic signal, and the acoustic sensor is at the same horizontal position as the pellet drying cup.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the high-alumina spherical tank is provided with uniform circular holes with a diameter of 8-10mm for air blown in by a constant-volume Roots blower. The high-alumina spheres inside the high-alumina spherical tank are 12-14mm in size and are used for uniform distribution of hot air and heat storage.

[0012] Furthermore, the air temperature thermocouple is placed at the bottom of the pellet drying cup for real-time monitoring of the hot air temperature, and a furnace temperature thermocouple is embedded in the middle of the vertical heating furnace for real-time monitoring of the furnace temperature inside the vertical heating furnace.

[0013] Furthermore, a metal anemometer is installed on the upper part of the high-alumina spherical tank. After the air passes through the high-alumina spherical tank for heat exchange, its volume expands and the wind speed increases significantly. The metal anemometer is used to monitor the flow rate of high-temperature air in real time.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the pellet drying cup is provided with uniform circular holes with a diameter of 5-8 mm, allowing hot air to pass through smoothly.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention addresses the issue of air expanding in volume after heating at room temperature by monitoring the hot air velocity in real time. It allows for more accurate recording of the maximum wind velocity that green pellets can withstand at a specified temperature. Furthermore, this invention utilizes a sound sensor to collect sound signals during the green pellet bursting process in real time, enabling real-time recording of the number of bursts. For control, feedback from furnace temperature thermocouples and hot air thermocouples allows for PLC control of the furnace temperature. The PLC control unit can monitor the hot air temperature, hot air velocity, and sound signals received by the sound sensor in real time. The PLC control unit records and saves relevant data, and can observe the number of green pellet bursts and the corresponding wind velocity and temperature during bursting, thus accurately determining the bursting temperature of the pellets.

[0017] The purpose of this invention is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring the thermal bursting temperature of green pellets, and to reduce errors caused by manual laboratory experiments and existing equipment. This allows for real-time and accurate detection of the bursting temperature of green pellets, and evaluation of parameters such as wind speed and temperature that the on-site green pellet drying process can withstand. This invention is of great significance for improving the quality of finished pellets, increasing the efficiency of pellet production, and perfecting the pellet production process.
