Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sintered ore processing technology, specifically a sintering cup preheating device. Background Technology
[0002] Sintered ore is mainly used in the production of iron and steel, and can also be used to produce ferroalloys and various metallurgical alloys. Oxygen-enriched sintering can improve the mineral composition and microstructure of sintered ore, thereby improving its quality and increasing the vertical combustion rate during the sintering process, thus increasing sintered ore yield. With the increase of oxygen enrichment, the drum index of sintered ore increases significantly, while the FeO content decreases significantly. The total content of hematite and calcium ferrite in sintered ore increases, while magnetite content decreases, effectively improving the strength and reducibility of sintered ore.
[0003] The sintering cup test system is an important experimental tool for simulating actual production, evaluating the sintering performance of iron ore, optimizing sintering blends, optimizing sintering process parameters, and conducting research on technologies to improve the quality of sintered ore. The temperature of the sintering mixture directly affects the thickness of the over-wet layer and the permeability of the sintering material. If the temperature of the mixture is too low, it will seriously reduce the quality of the sintered ore, and may even prevent the sintering process from proceeding.
[0004] Currently, the common practice is to add quicklime to the batching of sintering tests, using the quicklime's slaking to provide heat energy for the mixture. However, due to the relatively small size of the sintering cup, the mixture is greatly affected by ambient temperature (especially in northern winters) when the cup is cold. When conducting sintering verification tests in a hot cup, various sintering indicators and the quality of the sintered ore are significantly reduced, affecting the accuracy of the sintering data.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a sintering cup preheating device includes a burner 1, a connecting pipe 2, a refractory jacket 3, a support frame 4, a valve 5, and a connector 6.
[0031] Burner 1 is a diffusion type burner. The combustion process of a diffusion type burner is more stable and less prone to backfire, thus it has higher operational reliability. In addition, it has a large preheating area and uniform preheating.
[0032] The connecting pipe 2 is made of stainless steel and is L-shaped, consisting of a horizontal pipe and a vertical pipe. In this embodiment, the angle between the vertical pipe and the horizontal pipe is 90°. The vertical pipe extends into the sintering cup 7 with an extension length of not less than 400mm.
[0033] The fire-resistant sleeve 3 is made of fire-resistant asbestos material and is fitted onto the outer surface of the connecting pipe 2.
[0034] Burner 1 is fixed to the bottom end of the vertical pipe and is threadedly connected to the vertical pipe.
[0035] Valve 5 is a flow control valve, and valve 5 is threaded to the end of the horizontal pipe.
[0036] One end of connector 6 is threaded to valve 5, and the other end is connected to a gas container via a pipeline. In this embodiment, the gas container is a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder. Valve 5 is threaded to connecting pipe 2, and valve 5 is threaded to connector 6, facilitating installation and removal and enabling reuse.
[0037] The support frame 4 includes a clamp 41 and a telescopic rod 42. The telescopic rod 42 is vertically arranged, and the clamp 41 is fixed to the top of the telescopic rod 42. The telescopic rod 42 is an electric push rod or a threaded rod. The clamp 41 can fix the connecting pipe 2, and the telescopic rod 42 can extend and shorten, thereby adjusting the height of the connecting pipe 2. This allows the present invention to adapt to sintering cups of different sizes and specifications.
[0038] The working principle and process of this utility model are as follows:
[0039] First, connect connector 6 to the liquefied gas cylinder via a rubber hose, open the liquefied gas cylinder valve, and set the gas pressure to 0.1 MPa. Insert the vertical tube of connector 2 into the sintering cup 7 (φ200×700mm), and adjust and fix the height of connector 2 using support bracket 4. Ignite burner 1 using valve 5, preheating for 8 minutes. After preheating, close valve 5, remove connector 2 from the sintering cup 7, and close the liquefied gas cylinder valve. This completes the sintering cup preheating process; proceed with the mixing and feeding operation.
[0040] This invention utilizes the heat generated by the combustion of combustible gas to preheat the sintering cup body and its internal space, thereby storing and maintaining the temperature of the mixture inside the sintering cup. This improves the reproducibility, stability, comparability, and simulation effect of iron ore sintering tests. By improving and increasing the ambient temperature of the cup body, it addresses the adverse effects of low-temperature environments on the temperature of the mixture in cold cup sintering, enhancing various sintering performance indicators and ensuring the accuracy of sintering test results.
[0041] The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto.
