Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a tapping outlet brick, specifically a converter tapping outlet brick. Background Technology
[0002] The taphole seat brick is a brick that fits over the sleeve brick, serving two main purposes: first, to protect the sleeve brick; and second, to support the converter brick when drilling holes for sleeve brick replacement, facilitating the replacement process. Common seat bricks include pre-formed, fixed products and those directly constructed on-site from bricks.
[0003] During construction, it can be directly installed after being assembled with the sleeve bricks, resulting in fewer steel leakage channels and a high safety factor. The brick-built steel taphole seat bricks are generally constructed inside the converter shell using working layer bricks, while other areas are constructed on-site using permanent layer magnesia bricks, with the surrounding area filled with rammed earth. This structure is relatively loose, with more steel leakage channels, but the cost is relatively lower.
[0004] However, currently, from the moment molten iron is charged into the converter to the blowing process, the tapping spout is in a high-temperature oxidizing atmosphere. The furnace gas produced during the blowing process contains a large amount of CO. When it is discharged from the tapping spout, a CO reaction occurs, forming a decarburized layer on the inner wall surface of the tapping spout, directly causing damage to the tapping spout. This has the following shortcomings:
[0005] 1. The converter tapping port is located at the junction of the furnace body and the furnace cap. Because the furnace cap has a certain degree of inclination, while the external baffle of the tapping port is vertical, the depth of the tapping port seat brick is deeper at the top and shallower at the bottom.
[0006] 2. In the past, the tapping hole seat bricks were made of 4-5 sections of flat vertical seat bricks connected together. Because the furnace lining above the inner seat bricks narrowed, the area of the seat bricks above the tapping hole was concave. When steel was tapped, molten steel was easily trapped, which accelerated erosion and caused the tapping hole area to turn red. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings and defects in the existing technology by providing a converter tapping hole seat brick. This tapping hole seat brick is designed by changing the shape and size of the last section of the tapping hole seat brick according to the furnace lining construction. It is changed from a flat seat brick to a tapping hole seat brick that matches the furnace shape and has a slope. Using this tapping hole seat brick can effectively avoid the formation of pits, thereby better protecting the furnace lining safety at the tapping hole.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a converter tapping hole seat brick, which includes a furnace shell 1 and a furnace body 3. The furnace body 3 is disposed in the inner cavity of the furnace shell 1, and a tapping hole seat brick 2 is installed at the tapping hole of the furnace shell 1. The tapping hole seat brick 2 includes a first seat brick layer 21, a second seat brick layer 22, and a third seat brick layer 23. The first seat brick layer 21 is laid on the furnace body 3, and the inner wall of the first seat brick layer 21 is covered with the second seat brick layer 22. The third seat brick layer 23 is laid on the inner side of the second seat brick layer 22. The outlet of the tapping hole seat brick 2 is sloped inward from the bottom.
[0009] Furthermore, the first brick layer 21 is rectangular, and the dimensions of the first brick layer 21 are 410mm x 410mm. The second brick layer 22 and the third brick layer 23 are both circular, and the outer diameter of the second brick layer 22 is 360mm, the inner diameter of the second brick layer 22 is 340mm, and the inner diameter of the third brick layer 23 is 280mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner cavity of the third brick layer 23 is provided with a steel tapping cavity I to facilitate the flow of molten iron.
[0011] Furthermore, the slope at the outlet of the steel outlet seat brick 2 has an inclination angle of A, and the angle of A is 70°.
[0012] Furthermore, the end of the first brick layer 21 is longer than the end of the third brick layer 23, and the end of the second brick layer 22 connects the ends of its first brick layer 21 and the third brick layer 23.
[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This tapping hole seat brick is designed according to the furnace lining construction situation. By changing the shape and size of the last section of the tapping hole seat brick, it is changed from a flat seat brick to a tapping hole seat brick that matches the furnace type and has a slope. Using this tapping hole seat brick can effectively avoid the formation of pits, thereby better protecting the furnace lining safety at the tapping hole. Attached Figure Description

[0020] See Figures 1-3 As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is as follows: it includes a furnace shell 1 and a furnace body 3. The furnace body 3 is located in the inner cavity of the furnace shell 1, and a steel outlet seat brick 2 is installed at the steel outlet of the furnace shell 1. The steel outlet seat brick 2 includes a first seat brick layer 21, a second seat brick layer 22, and a third seat brick layer 23. The first seat brick layer 21 is laid on the furnace body 3, and the inner wall of the first seat brick layer 21 is laid with the second seat brick layer 22. The third seat brick layer 23 is laid on the inner side of the second seat brick layer 22. The outlet of the steel outlet seat brick 2 is sloped inward from the bottom.
[0021] More specifically, the first brick layer 21 is rectangular and has dimensions of 410mm x 410mm. The second brick layer 22 and the third brick layer 23 are both circular. The outer diameter of the second brick layer 22 is 360mm, the inner diameter of the second brick layer 22 is 340mm, and the inner diameter of the third brick layer 23 is 280mm.
[0022] More specifically, the inner cavity of the third brick layer 23 is provided with a steel tapping cavity I to facilitate the flow of molten iron.
[0023] More specifically, the slope at the outlet of the steel outlet seat brick 2 has an inclination angle of A, and the angle of A is 70°.
[0024] See Figure 4 As shown, and more specifically, the end of the first brick layer 21 is longer than the end of the third brick layer 23, and the end of the second brick layer 22 connects the ends of the first brick layer 21 and the third brick layer 23. This ensures the sealing between the tap hole brick 2 and the furnace shell 1.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: By installing a tapping hole seat brick 2 at the tapping hole of the furnace shell 1 and the furnace body 3, the tapping hole seat brick 2 is composed of three layers: a first seat brick layer 21, a second seat brick layer 22, and a third seat brick layer 23. The outlet of the tapping hole seat brick 2 has a slope that matches the furnace shape. During operation, the molten iron can flow into the converter through the lower opening, reducing its erosion rate and thus avoiding the formation of pits, effectively protecting the furnace lining at the tapping hole.
