Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blast furnace smelting technology, specifically a safety protection furnace top firearm. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, during the production process of a blast furnace, when a malfunction occurs and an emergency shutdown or planned maintenance is required, the air supply inside the furnace must be temporarily stopped, and the furnace top manhole must be opened for inspection after steam purging. However, at this time, there may still be high-temperature coal gas inside the blast furnace. In order to prevent accidents such as coal gas poisoning or coal gas explosion, the furnace top ignition operation must be carried out.
[0003] In related technologies, when igniting a blast furnace, the igniter is usually inserted into the blast furnace through the ignition port to ignite the residual gas inside. However, since current igniters typically lack gas detection capabilities, operators cannot ascertain the gas content around the igniter during use. This leads to an inability to control the insertion depth of the igniter. If the igniter is inserted too shallowly, the flame cannot directly contact the gas inside the furnace, reducing the ignition effect. If the igniter is inserted too deeply, the gas around the igniter will be ignited, and the igniter will be engulfed by flames, affecting its service life. Based on this, this application proposes a safety-protected furnace top igniter. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] This utility model provides a safety-protected furnace top igniter, including an igniter rod 1. One end of the igniter rod 1 is fixedly connected to an air distribution pipe 2, and the other end of the air distribution pipe 2 is fixedly connected to an ignition pipe 3. The other end of the ignition pipe 3 is movably connected to a baffle 4. A detection chamber is provided on the ignition pipe 3, and ignition chambers 5 are evenly distributed on the ignition pipe 3. The baffle 4 is provided with a through hole 11 adapted to the ignition chamber 5 and a through hole 12 adapted to the detection chamber. When the through hole 11 overlaps with the ignition chamber 5, the detection chamber and the through hole 12 are offset. When the detection chamber and the through hole 12 overlap, the through hole 11 and the ignition chamber 5 are offset. With this configuration, during the ignition process, the baffle 4 can shield the detection chamber, and during the advance and retraction of the igniter, the baffle 4 can shield the ignition chamber 5, preventing the air in the ignition chamber 5 from affecting the combustible gas detection results.
[0024] A rotating shaft is movably connected to the middle of the ignition tube 3. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the baffle 4, and the other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the rotating motor 6 through a reducer. The other end of the rotating motor 6 is fixedly connected to the air distribution pipe 2. By setting the rotating motor 6, the rotation of the rotating motor 6 can drive the baffle 4 fixedly connected to it to rotate, changing the position of the through hole 11 and the through hole 22, which facilitates the use of the igniter.
[0025] An air inlet pipe 10 is fixed on the igniter rod 1. The other end of the air inlet pipe 10 extends into the inner cavity of the air distribution pipe 2. Air can enter the inner cavity of the ignition chamber 5 through the air inlet pipe 10 and the air distribution pipe 2. A gas inlet hole 7 is provided on the side of the ignition chamber 5 near the air distribution pipe 2. With the setting of the gas inlet hole 7, when the air flows rapidly in the ignition chamber 5, the pressure in the ignition chamber 5 is less than the external pressure. The gas around the ignition tube 3 can enter the ignition chamber 5 through the gas inlet hole 7. The gas and air can be fully mixed, which makes it easier for the igniter to ignite the residual gas in the blast furnace.
[0026] A cooling plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the ignition tube 3. The cooling plate 9 is located on the side of the gas inlet 7 near the air distribution pipe 2. The side of the cooling plate 9 away from the gas inlet 7 has evenly distributed nozzles. A cooling tube 8 is fixed to the igniter rod 1, with the other end extending into the inner cavity of the cooling plate 9. Cooling air can enter the inner cavity of the cooling plate 9 through the cooling tube 8 and be evenly sprayed onto the igniter rod 1 and the air distribution pipe 2 through the nozzles, thus cooling the igniter rod 1 and the air distribution pipe 2 and extending the service life of the igniter. The outer diameter of the cooling plate 9 is larger than the outer diameter of the igniter rod 1, allowing the sprayed cooling gas to reach the igniter rod 1. The size of the cooling plate 9 can be set according to requirements and is not limited here. Furthermore, the gas sprayed from the cooling plate 9 can reduce the gas concentration around the igniter rod 1 and the air distribution pipe 2, preventing gas combustion at the igniter rod 1 and the air distribution pipe 2, further protecting the igniter. The temperature of the cooling gas can be selected according to requirements, and there are no restrictions here.
[0027] A combustible gas detector 13 is fixedly connected inside the inner cavity of the igniter rod 1. A detection chamber is provided on the ignition tube 3. The detection probe of the combustible gas detector 13 is located on the side of the detection chamber near the baffle 4. With the setting of the combustible gas detector 13, the igniter has the function of detecting the concentration of coal gas, which makes it easier for the staff to control the insertion amount of the igniter and improve the ignition efficiency.
[0028] The outer surface of the igniter rod 1, the surface of the ignition tube 3, the inner wall of the ignition chamber 5, the inner wall of the detection chamber, the outer surface of the air distribution pipe 2, the outer surface of the cooling pipe 8, and the outer surface of the air inlet pipe 10 are all coated with a heat-insulating coating. The heat-insulating coating can protect the igniter, reduce the impact of heat in the blast furnace on the igniter, and extend the service life of the igniter.
[0029] In some embodiments of this application, the igniter is a piezoelectric igniter, and the discharge electrode of the igniter is located inside the ignition chamber 5. Its working principle is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] In summary: When this safety-protected blast furnace top igniter is used, it is inserted into the blast furnace from the top. During its movement within the blast furnace, the combustible gas detector 13 continuously monitors the gas concentration around the ignition tube 3. When the gas concentration around the ignition tube 3 is ignitable, the combustible gas detector 13 alarms, alerting the operator to stop moving the igniter. The rotating motor 6 then operates, driving a fixedly connected shaft to rotate. This shaft rotates the baffle 4 until the through hole 11 overlaps with the ignition chamber 5, at which point the detection chamber is blocked by the baffle 4, protecting the probe of the combustible gas detector 13. Air is then introduced into the air inlet pipe 10, which enters the ignition chamber 5 through the air distribution pipe 2. The blast furnace gas enters the ignition chamber 5 through the gas inlet hole 7. The air and gas mix evenly within the ignition chamber 5, making them ignitable and thus achieving the ignition operation of the igniter. Furthermore, during the use of the igniter, cooling air enters the inner cavity of the cooling plate 9 through the cooling pipe 8 and is evenly sprayed onto the igniter rod 1 and the air distribution pipe 2 through the nozzle, thereby cooling the igniter rod 1 and the air distribution pipe 2 and extending the service life of the igniter. In addition, the gas sprayed from the cooling plate 9 can reduce the gas concentration around the igniter rod 1 and the air distribution pipe 2, preventing the gas from burning at the igniter rod 1 and the air distribution pipe 2, and further protecting the igniter.
