Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of smelting equipment, specifically a conductive copper tile for a submerged arc furnace. Background Technology
[0002] In submerged arc furnace equipment in the metallurgical industry, conductive copper tiles are key components. The secondary current of the furnace is transmitted from the transformer through the short grid, water-cooled cables, and in-furnace feed pipes to the conductive copper tiles, which then supply power to the furnace electrodes, enabling them to generate high temperatures to melt ferroalloys. Changes in furnace conditions can lead to slag inclusions and dust accumulation in the contact area between the conductive copper tiles and the pressure ring. Slag and dust contain a large amount of conductive metal elements, and when the slag and dust are highly viscous, they can adhere to the space between the copper tiles and the pressure ring. If a short circuit occurs, both the copper tiles and the pressure ring will puncture and leak, posing a safety hazard. Previously, an insulating pad was installed in the contact area between the conductive copper tiles and the pressure ring. Traditionally, the insulating pad consists of an insulating box installed on the copper tile body 1. The insulating box comprises a stainless steel top block 7, an insulating box 8, an insulating washer 9, an insulating tube 10, and connecting fasteners 11, etc. (see...) Figure 2 The current insulation box structure is not very strong, and the top block is easily damaged during installation and removal, posing a challenge to assembly and maintenance. Therefore, this technology aims to enhance insulation strength, mitigate risks, and make the structure easier to maintain and replace, thereby reducing maintenance costs through copper tile structure optimization. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a conductive copper tile for a submerged arc furnace that has a reasonable structure and is safe and reliable, in order to address the above-mentioned shortcomings.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a conductive copper tile for a submerged arc furnace, comprising a copper tile body with a fastener-connected insulation area. A copper tile insulating top block is embedded in the groove of the fastener-connected insulation area. The copper tile insulating top block is fixed to the copper tile body by multiple bolts and set screws. The bolt and set screw heads are recessed into the countersunk holes of the copper tile insulating top block, and an insulating sealing plate is placed over the countersunk holes.
[0005] The copper tile insulating top block is a fluorophlogopite block.
[0006] The advantages of this utility model are: 1. The use of a solid copper tile insulating top block and an insulating sealing plate to cover the connecting screws not only meets the structural strength requirements but also provides better insulation, ensuring the safety of the equipment. It is also simple to manufacture and easy to install and disassemble. 2. The dimensions of the copper tile insulating top block have been optimized. The outer diameter of the top block is now smaller than the inner diameter of the pressure ring fixing sleeve. This allows for replacement of the copper tile insulating top block without disassembling the pressure ring; only the bellows telescopic box needs to be removed. This reduces maintenance difficulty and production and maintenance costs.
