Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, specifically relating to a PS converter furnace rear baffle device. Background Technology

[0002] The horizontal PS converter has a 2-5cm thick steel plate shell and is lined with magnesia bricks and magnesia-chrome bricks. A furnace opening is located in the middle of the furnace body for feeding, fume extraction, slag removal, and copper tapping. A row of tuyeres is installed horizontally on one side of the furnace body to blow in compressed air. The entire furnace body is supported by rollers and rotates in both directions around a horizontal axis via a drive device, positioning the furnace opening to a suitable position for feeding, blowing, slag removal, and copper tapping.

[0003] There is an ascending flue between the converter and the waste heat boiler, which is entirely composed of water jackets. The front, left, and right side walls of the water jackets are vertical, making them less prone to coking. The rear side wall of the water jacket is closer to the furnace opening, forming an angle of 72° with it. In actual production, the converter splashes quite heavily, with most of the splashed material remaining on the rear water jacket and a small portion entering the boiler. A vibrating motor is installed on the rear water jacket to facilitate timely cleaning of coke deposits. A movable baffle is installed at the bottom of the rear water jacket to prevent coke from falling and injuring people or hitting the tuyeres, and to ensure a seal with the furnace body. Originally, the movable baffle was driven by an electro-hydraulic actuator, but due to the harsh working environment, the electro-hydraulic actuator had a high failure rate, high maintenance costs, and affected production efficiency. To meet production needs, a more convenient baffle device needs to be redesigned. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide a PS converter rear baffle device.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A PS converter furnace rear baffle device includes an upper baffle, a lower baffle, two support rods, several counterweights, and several nuts. The lower baffle is a backward-curved arc structure located at the lower end of the upper baffle, and the two are integrally formed. The two support rods are vertically aligned and pass through the upper baffle in parallel. The front end of the support rods is connected to the upper baffle via nuts. The counterweights consist of several counterweight plates and are set at the rear end of the support rods via nuts. The top surface of the upper baffle is provided with several pin seats. The PS converter furnace rear baffle device is hinged to the lower part of the rear water jacket of the flue via the pin seats and pins, and the lower baffle is in contact with the outer wall of the furnace body. The PS converter furnace rear baffle device faces the furnace opening of the furnace body.

[0007] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is provided between the support rod and the upper baffle.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] 1. This utility model utilizes leverage to open and close the baffle device by increasing or decreasing the number of counterweights.
