Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot-dip galvanizing technology for cold-rolled steel strip, and in particular to a top cover device for a submerged roller preheating furnace that does not require hoisting. Background Technology

[0002] After assembly, the submerged rollers of the galvanizing unit need to be preheated in a dedicated preheating furnace before being hoisted into the zinc pot. Generally, to ensure that the submerged rollers do not warp or deform due to the high temperature of the zinc liquid after immersion, or that the bearings crack, the preheating temperature of the submerged rollers should be kept as consistent as possible with the temperature of the zinc liquid before being hoisted into the zinc pot. This avoids the aforementioned problems caused by excessive temperature differences. Generally, galvanizing units specify that the preheating temperature of the submerged rollers for GI products should be between 450-470℃ (the zinc liquid temperature for GI products is around 460℃), and the preheating temperature of the submerged rollers for GL products should be between 590-610℃ (the zinc liquid temperature for GL products is around 590℃).

[0003] Due to the three-roller, six-arm configuration of the submerged roller system, the design of submerged roller preheating furnaces generally requires consideration of how to easily place the assembled submerged roller system (roller frame + roller body) into the preheating furnace. Therefore, the commonly used design for preheating furnaces is a fixed box body with a movable top cover. The lower half of the box body (containing the heating components) is a fixed, open design, allowing the submerged roller system to be easily lifted into the preheating furnace using a crane. The upper part uses a movable, integral top cover (excluding the heating components). After the submerged roller system is placed into the preheating furnace, the movable top cover is then lifted onto the preheating furnace box using a crane and secured with a special lifting device. While this method ensures a large and flexible working space when lifting the submerged roller system, it also has the following drawbacks and adverse effects:

[0004] 1. Work efficiency is significantly affected. During the preheating process of the submerged roll, the first and last steps—lifting the top cover off the preheating furnace and then lifting it back onto the furnace—add two lifting steps. Furthermore, the lifting tools for the top cover and the submerged roll are not interchangeable due to differences in structure and lifting ring position, requiring two additional tool changes. These additional steps add approximately one hour to each operation, impacting work efficiency.

[0005] 2. When the top cover is lifted off the ground and transported to the submerged roller system, a special area needs to be arranged for temporary placement, which affects the space inside the factory.

[0006] 3. Because the top cover is designed to be movable and hoisted, it is impossible to arrange heating components on the top cover, resulting in uneven temperature distribution in the upper and lower parts of the preheating furnace, and the heat loss at the top cover is relatively large, which affects the preheating effect of the submerged roller.

[0007] 4. Frequent hoisting processes, especially when the top cover is hoisted from the preheating furnace after the submerged roller has finished preheating, can easily cause deformation of the top cover structure, resulting in a large gap between the top cover and the box body during subsequent heating, which affects the heat preservation effect.

[0008] 5. There are significant safety risks, such as lifting injuries, during the hoisting process.

[0009] ①: The existing patent CN201720749938.2, "A Submerged Roller Preheating and Insulation Device", describes a method comprising: being installed in a heating furnace containing a submerged roller and a stabilizing roller; characterized in that: it includes several sets of combustion devices... the ignition and flame detection device, the fan and flow regulating valve, and the thermocouple are respectively electrically connected to the combustion controller;

[0010] The aforementioned patent only describes the specific heating methods and detection and control aspects used in the preheating and heat preservation process of the submerged roller, and does not contain any content on the sealing of the submerged roller preheating furnace or other related aspects, nor does it provide a solution for issues such as the hoisting of the top cover during the preheating of the submerged roller. Therefore, it cannot solve the problems of work efficiency and uneven temperature at the top cover.

[0011] ②: The existing publicly disclosed patent CN201420845291.X, "A Heating and Insulation Device for Aluminized Zinc Submerged Rollers," is characterized by: This utility model relates to a heating and insulation device for galvanized zinc submerged rollers, including a heating furnace, resistance band, thermocouple, and control system... The beneficial effects are: 1) It adopts PID regulation, with continuous output from the thyristor power regulator, resulting in high control precision and good furnace temperature uniformity; 2) It can control the temperature according to a set heating curve, and automatically adjust the heating power by controlling the output of the thyristor power regulator; 3) It has automatic power-off protection function and automatic alarm function when the control system is overheated, overcurrent, or three-phase load unbalanced, ensuring the safety and reliability of the system when it is energized;

[0012] The aforementioned patent only describes the specific heating methods and detection and control aspects used in the preheating and heat preservation process of the submerged roller, and does not contain any content on the structure and form of the submerged roller preheating furnace box, etc. It cannot solve the problems of top cover hoisting during submerged roller preheating, and therefore cannot solve the problems of work efficiency and uneven temperature at the top cover.

[0013] ③: The existing publicly disclosed patent CN202220420146.1, "A quick sealing device for the gaps in the preheating furnace of a galvanizing unit submerged roller," is characterized by being composed of multiple sealing components, which improve the convenience of sealing and reduce the loss of spare parts and product quality due to insufficient preheating temperature.

[0014] The aforementioned patent only describes the device and method for sealing the gaps in the submerged roller preheating furnace, but does not cover the overall structure of the submerged roller preheating furnace box or the opening form. Therefore, it cannot solve the problems of roller system and top cover hoisting during submerged roller preheating, and thus cannot solve the problems of work efficiency and uneven temperature at the top cover.

[0015] Therefore, in order to improve the efficiency of the submerged roll preheating process of the galvanizing unit, reduce the space occupied in the work area, reduce the number of high-safety-risk operations such as lifting operations, reduce the probability of deformation of the submerged roll preheating furnace top cover, and at the same time realize the heating function of the preheating furnace top cover to improve the overall temperature distribution uniformity and heat preservation effect, the top cover design of the submerged roll preheating furnace of the galvanizing unit has been systematically optimized, forming this utility model patent. This realizes an innovative upgrade of the submerged roll preheating furnace top cover system, improving work efficiency while reducing work safety risks. Utility Model Content

[0017] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0018] A lifting-free submerged roller preheating furnace top cover device includes a support frame and a pneumatic system. There are two supports.

[0031] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a top cover device for a non-lifting submerged roller preheating furnace includes a support frame 1 and a pneumatic system 18. There are two supports 1. Each support 1 has a support 2 at its top. Each support 2 has a shaft 9. Each shaft 9 is connected to a tail single-ear cylinder 4. Each tail single-ear cylinder 4 is connected to a single-ear connector 5 at the end away from the support 2.

[0035] Working principle: The height and width of the working area of ​​the original submerged roller preheating furnace hoisting submerged roller system are measured.
