TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to metallurgical environmental safety technical field especially, relate to a kind of foundation pit ventilation system of electrolytic furnace equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of preparing high-purity titanium crystals by molten salt electrolysis, electrolytic furnaces play a crucial role. They need to operate stably under extremely high-temperature conditions, usually above 600°C, to ensure the precise purification of titanium metal. To prevent oxidation of materials inside the furnace at high temperatures, inert gas - argon is commonly used as a protective gas, filling the entire furnace cavity. These electrolytic furnaces are usually placed in underground pits to reduce interference from the external environment, and at the same time, a distance of 2-3 meters is maintained between electrolytic furnaces to comply with safety operation standards.
[0003] However, such a layout also brings a series of challenges. First, the use of argon gas must be strictly controlled to prevent its leakage into the limited space of the pit, leading to excessive argon concentration, which not only wastes resources but also may pose a safety hazard. Second, due to the relatively closed space inside the pit, gas flow is slow, and if temperature control is not proper, overheating problems are easily triggered, further exacerbating safety risks.
[0004] The traditional solution is to use axial flow fans for ventilation, but this method has obvious shortcomings. The fan needs to be manually started by hand, which is not only cumbersome to operate but also has limited air volume, with unsatisfactory results, especially in terms of exhausting accumulated waste gas at the bottom. More importantly, the lack of automatic monitoring and automatic starting functions makes the system unable to flexibly adjust according to actual conditions, further limiting its effectiveness.
[0005] Therefore, how to innovate this system to achieve intelligent linkage of electrolytic furnace equipment pit ventilation and exhaust has become an important issue to ensure the safe production environment of the molten salt electrolysis purification of high-purity titanium process. Simplifying the operation process, reducing safety risks, and promoting the visualization, automation, and intelligent upgrading of the pit ventilation and ventilation system have become key problems that need to be solved urgently.

[0025] The utility model will be explained in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments. The utility model is not limited to this embodiment, as long as it conforms to the main idea of the utility model, other embodiments can also belong to the scope of the utility model.
[0026] In the preferred embodiment of the utility model, based on the above problems existing in the prior art, an electrolytic furnace equipment foundation pit ventilation system is provided, as shown in the figure, comprising: Figure 1
[0027] Ventilation pipeline 1 is located in the gap between electrolytic furnace equipment 10 and the edge of foundation pit 20, and the air outlet of ventilation pipeline 1 faces electrolytic furnace equipment 10.
[0028] Fan 2 is connected to the air inlet of ventilation pipeline 1.
[0029] Argon detection device 3 is arranged at the air outlet of ventilation pipeline 1.
[0030] Electric control cabinet 4 is arranged in foundation pit 20 and electrically connected with argon detection device 3 and fan 2.
[0031] Specifically, the foundation pit ventilation system of the electrolytic furnace equipment provided in the embodiment is ingenious, which is arranged in the gap between the electrolytic furnace equipment and the edge of the foundation pit, and the air outlet directly faces the electrolytic furnace equipment. Such layout ensures that the ventilation system can directly replace the gas around the electrolytic furnace, effectively reducing the accumulation of argon and other harmful gases. Through the ventilation pipeline, the accumulated exhaust gas (including the argon gas that may leak) in the foundation pit and other harmful gases generated due to high temperature can be discharged, while fresh air or treated air is introduced to maintain the freshness and safety of the air in the foundation pit.
[0032] The fan provides power to circulate and replace the gas in the foundation pit through the ventilation pipeline. Its strong suction and exhaust capacity can ensure that even the gas at the bottom layer can be effectively discharged, thereby solving the problem of small air volume and poor effect of the traditional axial flow fan.
[0033] The argon detection device can monitor the concentration of argon in the foundation pit in real time, and once the concentration exceeds the preset safety threshold, the alarm can be triggered or the fan can be automatically started for ventilation. This function not only improves the safety of the system, but also realizes intelligent monitoring of the gas environment in the foundation pit.
[0034] The electric control cabinet is the control center of the entire ventilation system and is electrically connected with the argon detection device and the fan. It is responsible for receiving the signal of the argon detection device and determining whether the fan needs to be started or adjusted according to the preset logic. At the same time, the electric control cabinet can also realize the automatic control and remote monitoring of the system, greatly reducing the complexity and safety risk of manual operation. Specifically, there are alarm lights and running indicator lights in the electric control cabinet, switch control fan start, and with a time counting module, the optional running logic in the electric control cabinet is as follows: 1. When the probe of the argon detection device does not alarm and the concentration meets the requirements, the opening mode of the fan is controlled according to the time, that is, it runs once every 4 hours according to the production requirements, and the single running time is 20 minutes; 2. When the probe of the argon detection device alarms when the concentration exceeds the upper limit value, the fan is started immediately after receiving the alarm signal, and if the alarm is not removed after running for 20 minutes, the fan will continue to run. When the argon concentration is lower than the upper limit value, no alarm signal is sent, and the fan stops running according to the time. 3. When the production personnel follow the temporary production requirements, the fan can be manually started or stopped. Among them, the running time and argon concentration can be set by themselves.

[0041] By the simultaneous operation of multiple branch pipes, the overall efficiency of the ventilation system can be significantly improved. Each branch pipe can independently exhaust waste gas and introduce fresh air, thereby accelerating the renewal speed of the gas in the foundation pit.
[0042] Through the ventilation pipe, the accumulated waste gas (including the possible leakage of argon) and other harmful gases generated due to high temperature in the foundation pit can be exhausted, while fresh air or treated air is introduced to maintain the freshness and safety of the air in the foundation pit.

[0044] Specifically, the density of argon is about 1.7837 kg / m 3 , which is greater than the density of air (about 1.29 g / L at normal temperature and pressure), and will deposit at the bottom of the foundation pit. The elbow provided on the branch pipe can change the direction of the gas outlet of the branch pipe, and fully ventilate the argon at the bottom of the electrolytic furnace equipment.

[0046] Specifically, the dust screen can effectively intercept and filter out dust particles in the air, preventing them from entering the branch pipe and the interior of the electrolytic furnace equipment along with the airflow. This not only maintains the cleanliness of the equipment, but also prolongs the service life of the equipment.

The exhaust port of the fan is opposite to the upper side of the steel platform, and the return distance of the exhaust pipe is 1000 mm, which ensures smooth exhaust.
[0051] Specifically, the parameters of the fan in the present embodiment are as follows: power: 5.5 KW, air volume: 13000-15000 m 3 / h, pressure: 600-650Pa, brand: Shandong Jin Song, since the low noise outer rotor fan is double suction, the fan must be installed in the air bellow.
