Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ironmaking, in particular to a sintering machine tail gas exhaust pipe dust removal device for ironmaking. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the existing ironmaking production process, a sintering device needs to be used for sintering treatment. Through the sintering process, various fine particle iron-containing raw materials are mixed with fluxes and fuels, uniformly mixed and granulated, then laid flat on the sintering machine to ignite and sinter, so that the fusible substances in the mixed material soften and melt, and the molten substances wet and contain the un-melted large particle ores. In the cooling process, the sintered material gradually bonds into blocks, and finally the sintered ore in block form is obtained for use in subsequent sections.

[0003] This process can improve the physical and chemical properties of iron ore raw materials, such as improving porosity, particle size uniformity, mechanical strength, reducibility, reducing low-temperature reduction pulverization rate, and improving high-temperature reduction softening performance, to improve smelting effect and ensure high yield, high quality, and low consumption of blast furnaces.

[0004] The tail gas of the first sintering machine is discharged to the next section through the dust removal pipe, the four waste heat return air pipes of the circular cooler, and the pipe routes all have flat sections. In the production process, the pipe routes in the flat sections are seriously accumulated with dust, which needs to be cleaned regularly by operators to ensure the smoothness of the pipe routes. At the same time, with the normal progress of sintering production, the tail shuttle groove of the sintering machine and the dust removal air draft efficiency are greatly affected by the thickness of the dust accumulated in the pipe. If the dust accumulation is too thick, it will also affect the dust removal effect of the dust removal air draft, affect the dust content in the production environment, and cause the dust content in the environment to be out of standard.

[0005] At the same time, the dust accumulated in the above-mentioned pipe will also affect the cooling air volume of the waste heat return air of the circular cooler. The dust generated during production will also cause the waste heat return air to be blocked and the cooling air volume to decrease. In order to achieve the expected cooling effect of the sintered ore in the circular cooler, it is necessary to increase the opening degree of the damper of the circular cooler or increase the number of started cooling fans, which increases the power consumption cost and production, and affects the implementation effect of energy saving and consumption reduction of the waste heat return air of the first sintering circular cooler.

[0006] The existing pipe cleaning operation is completely dependent on manual operation, which is difficult to operate: DN1000mm pipes need to be opened one by one manually and checked one by one. When it is detected that the thickness of the dust accumulated in the flat section pipe reaches 600mm, it needs to be cleaned. During maintenance, a large amount of manpower is needed to climb into the pipe and clean the accumulated dust in the limited space of the pipe, which is low in cleaning efficiency and high in labor intensity. With the progress of production, the dust thickness increases rapidly, which increases the frequency of manual cleaning and requires repeated shutdown for cleaning, affecting the normal progress of production.

[0007] The information disclosed in the background section is only for the purpose of increasing the understanding of the general background of the present application and should not be taken as an acknowledgement or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is already known to those of ordinary skill in the art.
