Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing technology, specifically to a copper converter that can be monitored in real time. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of a copper converter is based on the copper smelting process in metallurgy. It typically consists of a blast furnace and a combustion chamber. During operation, raw materials (including copper ore and other auxiliary materials such as coke) are fed into the blast furnace and melted inside. Copper and other metals in the ore are dissolved and separated from other components. The molten raw material enters the slag pool at the bottom, where copper and other metals settle, while the slag floats on top. However, traditional copper converters do not allow for timely monitoring of the internal raw material condition, forcing operators to rely on experience to judge the process. This can lead to errors in judgment and affect the stability of the raw material during processing.

[0003] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies, existing technology (Chinese patent publication number CN115751980A, application date 2023-03-07) describes a smelting furnace for crude copper production. Two support plates are arranged side-by-side on the base; a protective cover is mounted on the support plates; the bottom surface of the smelting furnace body is movably mounted on the support base; the telescopic end of each first telescopic device is hinged to a first moving plate; the first moving plate is slidably disposed on the bottom surface of the smelting furnace body; two mounting blocks are slidably connected to the smelting furnace body; a drive assembly is disposed within the smelting furnace body; two rotating rollers are rotatably disposed on the two mounting blocks and two second moving plates; the inner circumferential surface of the conveyor belt is pressed against the two rotating rollers; and a slag collection frame is detachably installed between the two support plates. This facilitates slag discharge and slag collection, effectively preventing clogging caused by slag.

[0004] The aforementioned mechanism prevents clogging by cleaning the debris at the discharge outlet. However, in actual use, it is still difficult to judge the raw materials in a timely manner during processing, which can lead to errors in the raw material processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a copper converter that can be monitored in real time, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that traditional copper converters are not convenient to monitor the state of the internal raw materials in a timely manner during use, which leads to the need for workers to make judgments based on their experience during processing, which may result in errors in judgment and affect the stability of the raw materials during processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a copper converter capable of real-time detection, comprising a copper converter body, a feed inlet on the left side of the copper converter body, a slag discharge outlet on the right side of the copper converter body, a discharge outlet at the middle position of the bottom end of the copper converter body, and a valve inside the discharge outlet; a flue gas outlet at the middle position of the top end of the copper converter body, and a detector at the front end of the flue gas outlet; a crushing mechanism for processing waste slag inside the slag discharge outlet; and fixed rods at the bottom of the copper converter body, with lifting mechanisms for adjusting the height of the copper converter body inside the fixed rods.

[0007] Furthermore, the crushing mechanism includes a mounting plate, which is located on the left side inside the slag discharge port. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the right side of the mounting plate, and a movable block is threadedly connected to the right side of the threaded rod. Both ends of the movable block are hinged with hinge rods, and scrapers are provided on the outside of the hinge rods.

[0008] Furthermore, the side of the scraper is in contact with the side inside the slag discharge port, and the length of the scraper is less than the length of the slag discharge port.

[0009] Furthermore, the hinge rods are provided in two sets, and the hinge rods are hinged to each other.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes an extension rod, which is slidably connected to the interior of the fixed rod. A servo motor is provided at the rear end of the extension rod, the output end of which extends into the interior of the fixed rod and is equipped with a gear. A rack that meshes with the gear is provided at the bottom end of the extension rod.

[0011] Furthermore, a slide rail is provided on the left side inside the fixed rod, and a slider matching the slide rail is provided on the left side of the rack. The rack and the fixed rod are connected by the slider and the slide rail to form a sliding mechanism.

[0012] Furthermore, the rack is disposed inside the fixing rod, and the height of the fixing rod is greater than the height of the rack.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The exhaust port can discharge gas containing sulfur dioxide, and the discharged gas will pass through the detection probe of the detector. The detection probe can detect the sulfur content inside the gas, so that the processing status of the raw materials can be detected more specifically, and thus the processing status of the raw materials can be accurately judged.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive mechanism drives the threaded rod to rotate. When the threaded rod rotates, it is threadedly connected to the outer movable block, which causes the movable block to move left and right. The scraper is driven to crush the waste residue, effectively preventing the waste residue from clogging the slag discharge port.

[0016] Furthermore, by utilizing the deflection of the hinge rod's angular velocity, the side of the scraper can fit against the inner sidewall of the slag discharge port, thereby enabling the scraper to continuously stir and crush the waste residue, preventing the waste residue from accumulating into large pieces and clogging the slag discharge port, making the waste residue treatment more flexible and stable.

[0017] 2. The servo motor's output rotates, driving the gear to rotate as well. The gear meshes with the rack, causing the rack to change height. The extension rod then pushes the upper copper converter body to change height, allowing the converter body to adjust its height flexibly according to the position and height of the lower receiving box. This reduces splashing of molten metal during discharge, effectively minimizing metal waste.

[0018] Furthermore, the cooperation between the slider and the slide rail allows the rack to slide more smoothly, avoiding jamming when the rack and gear mesh and move up and down, thus increasing the overall applicability during use. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The technical solution shown addresses the problem that traditional copper converters are inconvenient for timely detection of the internal raw material status, leading to reliance on worker experience for judgment during processing, which can result in errors and affect the stability of the raw materials during processing. This copper converter with real-time detection capability discloses a detector 7, including a copper converter body 1. The copper converter body 1 has a feed inlet 3 on its left side and a slag discharge outlet 4 on its right side. A discharge outlet 5 is located at the middle of the bottom of the copper converter body 1, and a valve 6 is installed inside the discharge outlet 5. A flue gas outlet 2 is located at the middle of the top of the copper converter body 1, and the detector 7 is installed at the front end of the flue gas outlet 2.

[0028] In this example, raw materials are added to the interior of the copper converter body 1 through the feed inlet 3. The raw materials are then processed and melted using a high-temperature stack. The copper-containing portion of the molten raw materials is located at the bottom of the copper converter body 1, while the waste slag to be discharged is located at the top of the copper-containing portion. At the very top is a gas containing sulfur dioxide, which is discharged through the flue gas outlet 2. The discharged gas passes through the detection probe of the detector 7, which detects the sulfur content inside the gas. This allows for a more detailed monitoring of the processing status of the raw materials, enabling accurate judgment of the processing condition. Finally, the required portion is discharged through the coordinated action of the discharge outlet 5 and the valve 6, while the waste slag is discharged from the slag discharge outlet 4 and the gas is discharged from the flue gas outlet 2.

[0029] Example 2: Figure 2 and Figure 4The technical solution shown addresses the problem of slag clogging the slag discharge port 4 during slag discharge. The copper converter, capable of real-time monitoring, discloses a crushing mechanism. The slag discharge port 4 is internally equipped with this mechanism for processing the slag. The crushing mechanism includes a mounting plate 8, located on the left side inside the slag discharge port 4. A threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the right side of the mounting plate 8, and a movable block 10 is threadedly connected to the right side of the threaded rod 9. Both ends of the movable block 10 are hinged with hinge rods 11, and scrapers 12 are provided on the outside of the hinge rods 11. The sides of the scrapers 12 are in contact with the sides inside the slag discharge port 4, and the length of the scrapers 12 is less than the length of the slag discharge port 4. Two sets of hinge rods 11 are provided, and the hinge rods 11 are hinged to each other.

[0030] In this example, the slag discharge port 4 is prone to blockage during use, resulting in insufficient slag discharge. Therefore, a scraping mechanism is used to scrape and crush the waste slag that needs to be discharged, making the copper processing process smoother. The drive mechanism drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate. When the threaded rod 9 rotates, it is threadedly connected to the outer movable block 10, which causes the movable block 10 to move left and right. During the movement of the movable block 10, the angle between the two hinged rods 11 deflects, which pushes the scraper 12 to move outward. This allows the side of the scraper 12 to fit against the inner side wall of the slag discharge port 4, enabling the scraper 12 to continuously stir and crush the waste slag, preventing the waste slag from accumulating into large pieces and blocking the slag discharge port 4. This makes the waste slag processing more flexible and stable.

[0031] Example 3: Figure 5 and Figure 6 The technical solution shown addresses the problem that copper converters are difficult to adjust their height to better control slag discharge during use. This copper converter, capable of real-time monitoring, discloses a lifting mechanism. Fixed rods 19 are installed below the copper converter body 1, and each fixed rod 19 contains a lifting mechanism for adjusting the height of the copper converter body 1. The lifting mechanism includes an extension rod 13, which is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed rods 19. A servo motor 16 is installed at the rear end of the extension rod 13, and its output end extends into the inside of the fixed rod 19 and is fitted with a gear 15. A rack 14, meshing with the gear 15, is installed at the bottom end of the extension rod 13. A slide rail 18 is provided on the left side inside the fixed rod 19, and a slider 17 matching the slide rail 18 is provided on the left side of the rack 14. The rack 14 and the fixed rod 19 are connected by the slider 17 and the slide rail 18 to form a sliding mechanism. The rack 14 is located inside the fixed rod 19, and the height of the fixed rod 19 is greater than the height of the rack 14.

[0032] In this example, to ensure better molten metal discharge during operation, the overall height of the copper converter body 1 is controlled to accommodate different material transfers during molten metal discharge. The output of the servo motor 16 rotates, driving the gear 15 to rotate. When the gear 15 rotates, it meshes with the rack 14, causing the rack 14 to change height. This vertical movement of the rack 14 causes a change in the height of the upper extension rod 13, allowing the extension rod 13 to push the upper... The height of the copper converter body 1 is changed, allowing it to adjust its height during material discharge. This enables the copper converter body 1 to flexibly adjust its height according to the position and height of the receiving box below, reducing splashing of molten metal during discharge and effectively minimizing metal waste. The cooperation between the slider 17 and the slide rail 18 ensures smoother sliding of the rack 14, preventing jamming when the rack 14 and gear 15 mesh and move up and down, thus increasing the overall applicability during use.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
