Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of submerged arc furnace cooling devices, and in particular to a bottom cooling device for a ferroalloy submerged arc furnace. Background Technology
[0002] A submerged arc furnace, also known as an electric arc furnace or resistance furnace, is mainly used for the reduction and smelting of ores, carbonaceous reducing agents, and solvents. It primarily produces ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrochrome, ferrotungsten, and ferrosilicon-manganese alloys, which are important industrial raw materials in the metallurgical industry and chemical raw materials such as calcium carbide.
[0003] Existing equipment, such as CN214496425U, describes a furnace bottom cooling device for a ferroalloy submerged arc furnace. This device includes a heat dissipation duct support and a pre-embedded air duct. One end of the pre-embedded air duct is connected to the heat dissipation duct support, and the other end is connected to a fan. The heat dissipation duct support includes a central ring, an outer circular connecting strip, and heat dissipation ribs connecting the central ring and the outer circular connecting strip. The heat dissipation ribs are arranged in a radiating pattern, with the central ring located above the heat dissipation ribs. The pre-embedded air duct is aligned with the central ring of the heat dissipation duct support. In this invention, the air duct is embedded during the civil engineering foundation construction, and the heat dissipation duct support is placed at the bottom of the ferroalloy submerged arc furnace. After the fan is started, cold outdoor air is blown out through the pre-embedded air duct towards the center of the heat dissipation duct support. The cold air disperses from below the central ring towards the space between two adjacent heat dissipation ribs, cooling the furnace bottom and completely solving the problem of excessively high furnace bottom temperature damaging the furnace body.
[0004] In existing technologies, hot water pipes are mostly fixed and cannot fully cover the furnace bottom, which can easily lead to uneven heat dissipation, affecting the use of the electric arc furnace, reducing working efficiency, and also preventing the recycling of cooling water, resulting in resource waste. These issues need to be addressed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a bottom cooling device for ferroalloy submerged arc furnaces.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a furnace bottom cooling device for a ferroalloy submerged arc furnace, comprising a submerged arc furnace body, a submerged arc furnace support, and a water cooling device. The submerged arc furnace support abuts against the lower surface of the submerged arc furnace body. The water cooling device is disposed inside the submerged arc furnace support. The cooling device includes a heat-conducting plate, which is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the submerged arc furnace. A circulating water pipe is provided on the lower surface of the heat-conducting plate, and a supporting ring is provided on the lower surface of the circulating water pipe. A supporting column is fixedly connected to the surface of the supporting ring.
[0007] Furthermore, the plurality of support columns are arranged in a circular pattern, and anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the surface of the support columns, while connectors are fixedly connected to the surface of the circulating water pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector, a water pump is fixedly connected to the surface of the water outlet pipe, and a heat exchanger is fixedly connected to one end of the circulating water pipe through the connector.
[0009] Furthermore, a water exchange pipe is fixedly connected inside the heat exchanger, a water storage tank is fixedly connected to the surface of the water exchange pipe, a connecting pipe is fixedly connected inside the water storage tank, and the end of the connecting pipe away from the water storage tank is fixedly connected to a water pump.
[0010] Furthermore, the surface of the main body of the electric arc furnace is provided with an air cooling device, which includes an air duct. The air duct is disposed on the surface of the main body of the electric arc furnace, and an air outlet is opened on the inner wall of the air duct. Multiple air outlets are arranged linearly.
[0011] Furthermore, an air inlet is provided on the surface of the air duct, an air inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air inlet, and a fan is fixedly connected to the end of the air inlet pipe away from the inner wall of the air outlet.
[0012] Furthermore, a connecting column is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the air duct, a caster wheel is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting column, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the surface of the air duct, a bolt is slidably connected inside the fixing block, and a nut is threaded onto the surface of the bolt.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a water cooling device, it is easy to achieve uniform heat dissipation from the bottom wall of the furnace. To this end, the water pump is started, and the water pump draws water from the water storage tank through the connecting pipe. The water then enters the circulating water pipe through the outlet pipe. The heat inside the electric arc furnace diffuses to the heat conduction plate. The cold water inside the circulating water pipe absorbs the temperature of the surface of the heat conduction plate. After the hot water flows into the heat exchanger, it becomes cold water and flows back into the water storage tank. By setting up a water cooling device, it is easy to achieve uniform heat dissipation from the bottom wall of the furnace, which greatly improves the cooling effect. The heated cooling water can also be used for other purposes, making full use of the heat energy. The cooled water can be returned for recycling, which greatly reduces the cooling cost and is environmentally friendly. This effectively improves the practicality of the equipment.
[0015] 2. In this utility model, by setting up an air-cooling device, it is convenient to dissipate heat from the upper and middle parts of the furnace body. To this end, the air ducts are pushed by universal wheels, and the two air ducts are fixed with bolts and nuts. When the fan is turned on, the fan delivers cold air from the air inlet pipe into the air ducts, and then blows the cold air onto the surface of the furnace body through the air outlet. By setting up an air-cooling device, it is convenient to dissipate heat from the upper part of the furnace body, and the temperature of the upper and middle parts of the furnace body can be more accurately controlled to prevent the temperature from being too low, thus effectively improving the convenience of the equipment.
