Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a converter steelmaking device, belonging to the field of steelmaking technology in the metallurgical industry. Background Technology

[0002] Converter steelmaking uses molten iron, scrap steel, and ferroalloys as the main raw materials. The steelmaking process is completed in the converter by relying on the physical heat of the molten iron itself and the heat generated by the chemical reaction between the components of the molten iron. Basic oxygen top-blown and top-bottom combined-blown converters are the most commonly used steelmaking equipment due to their fast production speed, large output, high single furnace output, low cost, and low investment. Converters are mainly used for the smelting of carbon steel, alloy steel, copper, and nickel.

[0003] A search revealed that patent number "CN214300229U" discloses "a converter steelmaking device using magnesium carbon balls as a slagging agent, comprising a top plate, an anti-rotation mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism; the top plate has symmetrically arranged tie rods on its lower surface, with a furnace body rotatably connected between the two tie rods, a discharge port on the left end of the furnace body, a first motor on the right end of the upper surface of the top plate, a wire wheel with steel wire wound inside the output shaft of the first motor, and a rotating shaft at the lower end of the steel wire rotatably connected to an opening at the right end of the furnace body; the anti-rotation mechanism is symmetrically arranged inside the mounting grooves of the convex shafts at both ends of the furnace body; the adjustment mechanism is located in the middle of the top plate, with a working oxygen lance at the lower end of the adjustment mechanism; this converter steelmaking device using magnesium carbon balls as a slagging agent can prevent accidental rotation of the furnace body during material unloading, facilitate adjustment of the height of the working oxygen lance, ensure proper slagging and rapid decarburization, and guarantee uniform heating of the molten pool." When the furnace body is tilted during use, the convex shafts at both ends of the furnace body rotate relative to the circular holes at the lower end of the pull rod. At this time, under the elastic force of the spring, the locking block contacts the locking groove inside the through hole at the lower end of the pull rod, causing the locking block to move. When the furnace body rotates in the opposite direction, the locking block engages with the locking groove inside the through hole at the lower end of the pull rod, fixing the furnace body and preventing accidental rotation of the furnace body during material pouring. When the furnace body needs to be reset, the external control switch group controls the electromagnet to work. The electromagnet generates magnetic force to attract adjacent locking blocks, thereby separating the locking blocks from the locking groove inside the through hole at the lower end of the pull rod, and resetting the furnace body. However, this device limits movement through rotating parts, which is prone to severe wear and lacks external auxiliary support structures. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a converter steelmaking device that can provide certain external auxiliary support for the furnace body, thereby solving the problems existing in the background technology.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0006] A converter steelmaking apparatus includes a top plate, a rotating mechanism, and a converter assembly. The rotating mechanism is mounted on the top plate, and the converter assembly is located below the top plate.

[0007] The converter assembly includes a support cantilever, a furnace body, an extension rod, and a load-bearing shaft. The upper ends of the two parallel support cantilevers are fixed to the top plate, and the lower ends are rotatably connected to the furnace body through shafts. An extension rod is fixedly connected to one side of the furnace body, and a load-bearing shaft is fixedly connected to the extension rod.

[0008] The rotating mechanism includes a pushing component, a protective component, an adjusting component, and a connecting component. The pushing component includes two first hydraulic telescopic rods and two sliders. The two sliders are slidably connected to the top plate in a horizontal state, and each slider is connected to one of the first hydraulic telescopic rods.

[0009] The protective assembly includes a second hydraulic telescopic rod and an arc-shaped support frame. The upper ends of the two second hydraulic telescopic rods are respectively fixed to the bottom of the slider, and the lower ends of the two second hydraulic telescopic rods are respectively connected to the arc-shaped support frame. The arc-shaped support frame cooperates with the furnace body.

[0010] The adjustment assembly includes a drive motor and a drive shaft. The drive motor is fixed on the top plate and connected to the drive shaft.

[0011] The connecting assembly includes a steel rope and a fixing ring. The upper end of the steel rope is wound around the drive shaft, and the lower end of the steel rope is connected to the fixing ring, which is set on the load-bearing shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, the distance between the two parallel supporting cantilever arms is matched with the outer diameter of the furnace body.

[0013] Furthermore, the extension rod is located near the bottom of the furnace body.

[0014] Furthermore, the top plate is also equipped with an air supply assembly, which includes a third hydraulic telescopic rod and a working oxygen lance. The third hydraulic telescopic rod is fixed to the top plate and is drivenly connected to the working oxygen lance, which cooperates with the furnace body.

[0015] Furthermore, the working oxygen lance is located directly above the furnace body.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) By adding an external auxiliary support structure through a rotating mechanism, it is convenient to provide support balance. The drive motor provides power to drive the drive shaft to rotate, so that the number of turns of the steel rope wound on the outside changes, thereby adjusting the outer length, thereby pulling up the fixed ring and tilting the furnace body. The first hydraulic telescopic rod extends and retracts to push the slider, while the second hydraulic telescopic rod extends and retracts to control the vertical height of the arc support frame, providing a certain external auxiliary support for the furnace body. When reset, the arc support frame returns to its original position and fits against the outside of the furnace body to prevent tilting.

[0018] (2) The working oxygen lance is extended into the furnace body through the third hydraulic telescopic rod to provide oxygen for reaction. After the work is completed, the third hydraulic telescopic rod retracts to remove the working oxygen lance from the furnace body, which facilitates the rotation of the furnace body. The support cantilever provides support for the furnace body and a rotation structure. The extension rod provides a certain extension distance to facilitate the rotation structure of the load-bearing shaft and the fixed ring. Attached Figure Description

[0035] In this example, refer to the appendix. Figure 1-4 The converter steelmaking unit includes a top plate 1, a swivel mechanism 2, a gas supply assembly 3, and a converter assembly 4, wherein:

[0036] The converter assembly 4 is located below the top plate 1. The converter assembly 4 includes a support cantilever 41, a furnace body 42, an extension rod 43, and a load-bearing shaft 44. There are two parallel support cantilever arms 41, with their upper ends fixed to the top plate 1 and their lower ends rotatably connected to the furnace body 42 via shafts. An extension rod 43 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the furnace body 42, and a load-bearing shaft 44 is fixedly connected to one side of the extension rod 43. The support cantilever arms 41 provide support and a rotation structure for the furnace body 42, and the extension rod 43 provides a certain extension distance to facilitate the rotation structure between the load-bearing shaft 44 and the fixed ring 242.

[0042] The working principle is as follows:

[0043] The first step is to extend the working oxygen lance 32 into the furnace body 42 through the third hydraulic telescopic rod 31 to provide oxygen for the reaction.
