Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of metallurgical blast furnace technology, and more specifically, to an installation device for a blast furnace corrugated branch pipe. Background Technology

[0002] During blast furnace operation, hot air from the hot blast duct is fed into the corrugated branch pipes. Because the temperature of the hot air fed into the corrugated branch pipes can reach as high as 1400℃, the corrugated branch pipes are prone to damage under prolonged continuous high-temperature conditions. If air leakage occurs in the corrugated branch pipes, a temporary shutdown must be implemented immediately to replace the corrugated branch pipes.

[0003] In existing technology, a hand-operated chain hoist is used to move corrugated branch pipes. However, due to the confined space and numerous pipelines at the location of the corrugated branch pipes, moving them in and out can be difficult. Furthermore, because the corrugated branch pipes are suspended in mid-air for extended periods during replacement, difficulties arise in aligning flanges during the dismantling of old equipment and the installation of new equipment. This requires multiple adjustments to the hand-operated chain hoist, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces work efficiency.

[0004] In summary, there is a need to provide an improved technical solution that addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0030] See Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an installation device for a blast furnace corrugated branch pipe, comprising:

[0031] A support frame 3 is provided with a connecting plate 6 at its top, which is used to fix the connection to the bottom of the corrugated branch pipe.

[0032] The auxiliary bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame 3 and extends upward; as shown... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the auxiliary support 4 is provided with an arc-shaped support 8, which is arranged in a transverse direction and is used to abut against the top of the corrugated branch pipe. The arc-shaped support 8 can prevent the corrugated branch pipe from being worn, and can limit the top of the corrugated branch pipe to prevent the top of the corrugated branch pipe from sliding out of the arc-shaped support 8.

[0033] A movable part 1 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 3 and is used to move the support frame 3 to a predetermined position; a lifting part 2 is provided on the top surface of the movable part 1, the lifting part 2 is used to connect with the bottom surface of the support frame 3, and the lifting part 2 is used to adjust the height of the support frame 3 to a predetermined height.

[0034] This application provides an installation device for a blast furnace corrugated branch pipe. When replacing the corrugated branch pipe, the old corrugated branch pipe is connected to the connecting plate 6 and then removed. The new corrugated branch pipe is then installed onto the connecting plate 6 and moved to a predetermined position by the moving part 1 for installation. The support frame 3 provides support during disassembly or installation, preventing the corrugated branch pipe from being suspended and reducing replacement difficulty. The lifting part 2 adjusts the height of the corrugated branch pipe, facilitating installation and improving efficiency. The moving part 1 allows for the movement of either the new or old corrugated branch pipe, making movement easier even in space-constrained conditions.

[0035] In one feasible embodiment, the connecting plate 6 is provided with mounting holes for fixed connection with flange holes on the connecting flange of the corrugated branch pipe by fastening bolts.

[0036] It should be noted that the connecting plate 6 is connected to the top surface of the support frame 3 by multiple fixed connections. The gap formed between two adjacent connecting legs 7 facilitates the removal of the fastening bolts.

[0037] In one feasible approach, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting holes include at least a first mounting hole 9 and a second mounting hole 10. Both the first mounting hole 9 and the second mounting hole 10 are elongated holes, and the arrangement direction of the first mounting hole 9 is perpendicular to the installation direction of the second mounting hole 10. The installation position of the fastening bolts in the elongated holes is adjusted according to the pipe diameter of the corrugated branch pipe, so that this application can be adapted to the installation of corrugated branch pipes of various diameters, increasing the scope of application of this application and meeting various installation needs.

[0038] In one feasible embodiment, a diagonal brace 5 is provided between the auxiliary support 4 and the support frame 3. One end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the auxiliary support 4, and the other end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the support frame 3. By providing the diagonal brace 5, the connection strength between the auxiliary support 4 and the support frame 3 can be increased, and the pressure exerted by the corrugated branch pipe on the auxiliary support 4 can be balanced.

[0039] It should be noted that two diagonal braces 5 are installed between the auxiliary bracket 4 and the support frame 3 to further increase the stability of the structure and ensure the smooth progress of the replacement work.

[0040] It should also be noted that the angle between the diagonal brace 5 and the horizontal plane is 45°-70°.

[0041] Specifically, as shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the angle between the diagonal brace 5 and the horizontal plane is 65°.

[0042] In one feasible embodiment, the lifting unit 2 is a scissor structure, comprising at least a first link, a second link, and a hydraulic cylinder.

[0043] The middle sections of the first and second connecting rods are hinged together. The bottoms of the first and second connecting rods are hinged to the top surface of the moving part 1. A lifting plate is provided at the top of the first and second connecting rods. After the lifting plate rises, it abuts against the bottom surface of the support frame 3. The bottom of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the top surface of the moving part 1, and the free end of the cylinder rod of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 3. The height of the support frame 3 is adjusted by controlling the extension length of the cylinder rod.

[0044] In one feasible embodiment, the lifting part 2 is a lead screw structure, which includes at least a rotating motor, a rotating gear, and a connecting rack;

[0045] The rotating motor is fixedly connected to the top surface of the moving part 1. The output shaft of the rotating connection is fixedly connected to the rotating gear, which controls the forward or reverse rotation of the rotating gear. The connecting rack is arranged vertically, and a lifting plate is provided at the top of the connecting rack. After the lifting plate rises, it abuts against the bottom surface of the support frame 3, and the connecting rack meshes with the rotating gear. The height of the support frame 3 can be adjusted by controlling the rotation of the rotating motor.

[0046] It should be noted that in this application, the height of the support frame 3 is 1-1.2m, and the lifting range of the support frame 3 is 10-50mm. The installation accuracy of the corrugated branch pipe is ensured by using a hydraulic cylinder or a rotating motor. By setting the support frame 3 to a predetermined height, the lifting amplitude can be reduced, requiring only precision adjustment afterwards, simplifying the installation process and improving work efficiency.

[0047] In one feasible embodiment, a telescopic shaft is provided between the bottom surface of the support frame 3 and the top surface of the movable part 1.

[0048] It should be noted that the support frame 3 and the moving part 1 are coaxially arranged, and both ends of the telescopic shaft are connected to the axes of the support frame 3 and the moving part 1, respectively. The telescopic shaft ensures that the support frame 3 remains stable during lifting and lowering.

[0049] In one feasible embodiment, the movable part 1 is moved using horizontal rollers. The tires of the horizontal rollers are made of polyurethane or rubber anti-slip material, providing good stability. The movable part 1 enables 360° movement and rotation, facilitating relocation of the device. Furthermore, the movable part 1 has a load capacity of 8 tons.

[0050] Replacing corrugated branch pipes using existing technology requires 6 maintenance personnel for 4 hours of work. Using this application, replacing corrugated branch pipes requires only 4 maintenance personnel for 2 hours of work. The economic benefits of this application are as follows:

[0051] A. Labor costs incurred in the existing technology: 6 × 4 × 426.65 ÷ 8 = 1280 yuan;

[0052] B. Labor costs incurred in this application: 4 × 2 × 426.65 ÷ 8 = 426.65 yuan;

[0053] Therefore, the economic benefits generated by using this application are AB = 853.3 yuan.

[0054] The steel plant includes three blast furnaces. The corrugated branch pipes need to be replaced 36 times a year, saving a total of 853.3 × 36 = 30,700 yuan per blast furnace. Considering the marginal benefit of the time saved, at least 10 hours of downtime per year is required due to damaged corrugated branch pipes. The total marginal benefit is 25.33 × 10 = 253.3 million yuan.

[0055] In summary, this application provides an installation device for corrugated branch pipes in blast furnaces, which can improve the replacement efficiency of corrugated branch pipes, save maintenance time, and reduce the intensity of manual labor. When replacing corrugated branch pipes, the old corrugated branch pipe is connected to the connecting plate 6, and then removed. The new corrugated branch pipe is then installed onto the connecting plate 6 and moved to a predetermined position by the moving part 1 for installation.

[0056] The support frame 3 provides support during disassembly or installation, preventing the corrugated branch pipe from being suspended and reducing replacement difficulty. The lifting unit 2 allows for height adjustment of the corrugated branch pipe, facilitating installation and improving efficiency. The moving unit 1 allows for the movement of new or old corrugated branch pipes, making movement easier even in space-constrained conditions.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
