TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to metal processing technical field, concretely relates to a uniform feeding assembly for electric arc furnace. BACKGROUND
[0002] The early electric arc furnace is all the raw materials to be smelted are put into the electric arc furnace for smelting before smelting, and basically no other raw materials need to be added during smelting, but with the improvement of smelting process, many advanced smelting processes need to add raw materials during smelting, so the electric arc furnace equipment that can continuously add raw materials gradually appears on the market. This electric arc furnace equipment that can continuously add raw materials usually sets a feeding port on one side of the electric arc furnace, and makes the raw materials flow into the electric arc furnace through the guide plate erected at the feeding port, but this guide mode is easy to cause the raw materials to fall in one place and cause a large amount of raw materials to accumulate in that place, and too much accumulation is easy to cause the incoming raw materials to be unevenly heated, thereby causing the melting time to deviate, resulting in uneven product quality. For this reason, the present inventor proposes a uniform feeding device and an electric arc furnace with the feeding device, as described in reference 1.

The hopper is provided with a power assembly for driving the electrode insertion pipe to rotate, which drives the electrode insertion pipe to rotate in the hopper, so that the raw materials are discharged from the circumferential surface of the hopper discharge port, thereby realizing the relatively uniform discharge of the raw materials.
[0005] The present inventor found that when using the device recorded in reference 1 in actual application, if the hopper discharge port is too large, higher processing precision is required to ensure the sealing property, thereby reducing the energy dissipation, and increasing the preparation cost of the equipment. If the hopper discharge port is small, the raw materials cannot be added to different positions in the electric arc furnace, thereby reducing the uniformity of the feeding process, that is, to some extent, affecting the product quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] In order to better understand the utility model, the content of the utility model is further illustrated below in conjunction with examples, but the content of the utility model is not limited to the following examples.
[0025] As Figure 5As shown, a uniform feeding assembly for an electric arc furnace, similar to existing technologies, includes a hopper 1 and an electrode insertion tube 3. The hopper 1 is used to feed material into the electric arc furnace 6, and the electrode insertion tube 3 is used to insert graphite electrodes into the electric arc furnace 6 to enable its use. Specifically, the hopper 1 is a conical funnel shape, with a circular baffle 402 rotating within the narrow opening at the bottom of the hopper 1. The baffle 402 has a discharge port 403 for the material in the hopper 1 to fall. As the baffle 402 rotates, the position of the discharge port 403 changes accordingly, allowing the material in the hopper 1 to fall from different positions at the bottom of the hopper 1, achieving a uniform feeding effect. Simultaneously, the rotation of the baffle 402 helps to flow the material in the hopper 1, thus preventing blockage inside the hopper 1. A power assembly 2 is fixedly installed at the top edge of the hopper 1. The power assembly 2 drives the baffle plate 402 to rotate through the electrode insertion tube 3 so as to uniformly discharge the raw materials.
[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, unlike existing technologies, a material guiding assembly 5 is fixed to the inner wall of the narrow opening at the bottom of the hopper 1 below the baffle plate 402. The material guiding assembly 5 includes a guide bucket 503 fixed to the inner wall of the narrow opening at the bottom of the hopper 1. Specifically, the guide bucket 503 is hollow inside to allow raw materials to enter. The guide bucket 503 is positioned towards the bottom of the hopper 1 and communicates with the outside to form a feeding section 502. The feeding section 502 is Y-shaped to stably collect the raw materials falling from the edge of the discharge port 403. The guide bucket 503 extends inclinedly from the bottom of the hopper 1 towards the inner edge of the electric arc furnace 6, making the guide bucket 503 a flared, downward-facing trumpet shape. This allows the feeding section 502 of the guide bucket 503 to stably collect raw materials and transport them into the electric arc furnace 6 away from the hopper 1. The guide hopper 503 has multiple material discharge holes 504 evenly distributed on its flared inner wall. Specifically, the material discharge holes 504 are inclined holes that slope towards the center of the guide hopper 503. The material discharge holes 504 can disperse the raw materials from the guide hopper 503 into the electric arc furnace 6 away from the hopper 1, so as to distribute the raw materials evenly to the edge of the electric arc furnace 6 away from the hopper 1. When the material discharge port 403 is rotated, the raw materials can be evenly distributed into different positions inside the electric arc furnace 6, thereby reducing the impact of uneven material addition on product quality. At the same time, it can also increase the path length of heat passing through the material discharge holes 504 inside the electric arc furnace 6, thereby reducing the influence of the material guiding component 5 and the material feeding component 4 on the heat dissipation inside the electric arc furnace 6.
[0027] A plurality of cleaning strips 405 are arranged between the material blocking plate 402 and the material distribution disc 501, the cleaning strips 405 can rotate with the material blocking plate 402, thereby extruding the raw materials on the material distribution disc 501 to reduce the probability of the raw materials being blocked on the material distribution disc 501, and at the same time, the cleaning strips 405 can drive part of the raw materials to the feeding part 502, thereby uniformly distributing the raw materials to various positions inside the electric arc furnace 6 to maintain the quality of the output products.
[0028] The upper side of the material blocking plate 402 is fixedly provided with three material guiding columns 401, the three material guiding columns 401 can rotate with the material blocking plate 402 to improve the vibration effect of the raw materials during the rotation of the material blocking plate 402, that is, to keep the raw materials in a loose state, so that the raw materials can stably and uniformly pass through the material falling port 403 to realize the stable and continuous addition of the raw materials.
[0029] The material blocking plate 402 is provided with a closing plate 404 rotatably arranged on the hopper 1, the closing plate 404 is used for covering the material falling port 403, the upper side of the material blocking plate 402 is fixedly provided with two limiting strips 406, the spacing between the two limiting strips 406 is the size of the two closing plates 404, when the material blocking plate 402 rotates in a forward direction, the closing plate 404 will be connected with the limiting strip 406 in the corresponding direction, thereby allowing the raw materials to pass through the material falling port 403 and be put into the electric arc furnace 6 for use, after the addition of the raw materials is completed, the material blocking plate 402 can be reversely rotated, so that the closing plate 404 is connected with the limiting strip 406 in the opposite direction, so as to close the material falling port 403 to relatively close the electric arc furnace 6, that is, to reduce the probability that the impurities in the outside environment enter the inner wall of the electric arc furnace 6 through the material falling port 403 to affect the quality of the products, and at the same time, the amount of heat in the electric arc furnace 6 escaping from the material falling port 403 can be reduced to a certain extent.
[0030] The specific embodiments of the utility model are described above. It should be understood that the utility model is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes within the scope of the claims, which does not affect the essential content of the utility model.
