[0002] The sealing element between the flange of traditional high furnace roof steel ring and airtight box has packing and asbestos rope, and the following problems exist when using this kind of sealing element: in the process of blast furnace production, due to the abnormal furnace condition, thermal expansion and contraction of furnace shell, furnace age enters middle and later period, etc., leading to the gap between the sealing element and the two flanges, and the sealing element becomes hard and brittle under the working condition (high temperature, humidity, high pressure, dust scouring) after coal gas leakage, and it is difficult to effectively handle the coal gas leakage fault by tightening the connecting piece of the two flanges, thereby leading to blast furnace blowdown and production reduction. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the sealing structure between the existing high furnace roof steel ring and airtight box, and when the gap between the flanges of the high furnace roof steel ring and the airtight box leads to high temperature and high pressure coal gas leakage in the furnace, the fastener of the two flanges can be appropriately tightened, so that the sealing element is tightly attached to the two flanges after being pressed, thereby effectively cutting off the coal gas leakage and expansion, and ensuring the stable operation of the blast furnace. SUMMARY

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a kind of sealing structure of high furnace roof steel ring and airtight box for the above problems, to solve the technical problem that the sealing element between the traditional high furnace roof steel ring and airtight box becomes hard and brittle under high temperature, humidity, high pressure and dust scouring, and it is not convenient to quickly and efficiently cut off the coal gas leakage, thereby leading to blast furnace blowdown and production reduction.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A kind of sealing structure of high furnace roof steel ring and airtight box, including steel ring flange, airtight box flange, several copper pipes and several sealing strips, the copper pipe, the sealing strip are annular and are laid on the steel ring flange, the airtight box flange is pressed on the copper pipe and the sealing strip, the airtight box flange is connected with the steel ring flange by the fastener;The copper pipe and the sealing strip form a multilayer ring structure, and the copper pipe forms at least the innermost layer ring and the outermost layer ring of the multilayer ring structure.

[0006] Further, it further includes sealing glue, and the sealing glue is filled in the closed space formed by the copper pipe, the sealing strip, steel ring flange and airtight box flange.

[0007] Further, the multilayer ring structure is formed by the copper pipe and the sealing strip.

[0008] Furthermore, the sealing strip has beveled cuts at both ends, and the sealing strip forms a ring shape after the beveled cuts are joined together.

[0009] Furthermore, the copper tube is made of a hollow tube, and the two ends of the hollow tube are welded to form a ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the sealing strip is made of elastic, high-temperature resistant silicone.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes fine copper wires, which are wound around a multi-layered ring structure.

[0012] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model employs a multi-layered annular structure formed by copper pipes and sealing strips for sealing. The copper pipes possess excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, maintaining stable sealing performance under harsh conditions of high temperature, humidity, high pressure, and dust erosion. The sealing strips are made of elastic, high-temperature resistant silicone, effectively filling tiny gaps between flange surfaces, significantly improving sealing performance and reliability, and preventing gas leakage. In the event of minor leaks after prolonged use, the gas leakage can be quickly and effectively addressed by tightening the fasteners on both flange surfaces. The sealing structure can be remade during production breaks, thus avoiding direct blast furnace shutdowns and production reductions. This invention solves the technical problem that traditional blast furnace top steel ring and gas-tight box seals are prone to hardening, poor compressibility, embrittlement, and breakage under high temperature, humidity, high pressure, and dust erosion, hindering the rapid and efficient cut-off of gas leaks and leading to blast furnace shutdowns and production reductions.

[0014] 2. This utility model uses high-temperature and corrosion-resistant copper pipes and high-temperature resistant silicone sealing strips, combined with sealant to fill the sealed space, so that the sealing structure can maintain a good sealing state for a long time under the harsh working conditions of the blast furnace top steel ring. This reduces the need to frequently replace sealing parts due to seal failure, thereby reducing maintenance costs and downtime, and improving the production efficiency and economic benefits of the blast furnace.

[0015] 3. The copper tube of this utility model has beveled ends and a ring structure is formed by copper welding, which further improves the strength and stability of the copper tube; the fine copper wire is wrapped around the outer circumference of the multi-layer ring structure, which strengthens the overall sealing structure and enables it to maintain its integrity when the furnace shell expands and contracts or is subjected to mechanical stress, effectively avoiding sealing failure caused by deformation.
