Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of iron and steel metallurgy and relates to a converter flue gas sealing system. Background Technology

[0002] Below the converter is a closed flue gas area, within which a smoke-isolating chamber is installed. This chamber includes a fire-resistant wall surrounding the converter and a smoke-isolating chamber roof covering the top of the fire-resistant wall. Above the converter is an open flue gas area, typically vented by a converter hood. The converter hood connects the closed and open flue gas areas to guide the orderly discharge of high-temperature flue gas. The smoke-isolating chamber, together with the converter roof and the converter hood, constitute a sealed flue gas system, ensuring that high-temperature flue gas is discharged only through the converter hood, preventing it from escaping through other pathways and causing environmental pollution.

[0003] Even though most of the high-temperature flue gas generated during the smelting process in the converter can be discharged through the converter hood, some high-temperature flue gas still accumulates in the smoke isolation chamber during the exhaust process. This causes the steel structure of the smoke isolation chamber to deform and be damaged due to heat accumulation, affecting the overall sealing effect.

[0004] In addition, because the smoke extraction height of the converter hood needs to be frequently changed during the production process, movable hoods that can be raised and lowered vertically are often used. During the raising and lowering of the movable hood, there are gaps between the outer surface of the movable hood and the roof of the smoke isolation chamber and the roof of the converter. High-temperature flue gas inevitably escapes from the gaps, making it impossible to effectively seal off the high-temperature flue gas in the converter. Utility Model Content

[0034] This utility model provides a converter flue gas sealing system, including a smoke isolation chamber and a converter fume hood. Figure 1As shown, the smoke-isolating chamber includes a fire-resistant wall 7 and a smoke-isolating chamber roof 8. The fire-resistant wall 7 is located around the converter 6 and between the converter roof 14 and the converter 6 platform. The smoke-isolating chamber roof 8 is located at the top of the fire-resistant wall 7, and its position is lower than the converter roof 14. The fire-resistant wall 7 and the smoke-isolating chamber roof 8 enclose the smoke-isolating chamber area. The area below the converter 6 is a closed smoke exhaust zone, and the area above the converter 6 is an open smoke exhaust zone. The converter fume hood connects the closed smoke exhaust zone and the open smoke exhaust zone to guide the high-temperature flue gas generated by the converter 6 from the closed smoke exhaust zone to the open exhaust zone for discharge while maintaining the airtightness of the smoke-isolating chamber. Furthermore, an air injection pipe 21 and an air exhaust pipe 23 are opened on the converter roof 14, and the air injection pipe 21 and the air exhaust pipe 23 are respectively located on both sides of the first fume hood 2. The cold air fan 20 is located outside the smoke-isolating chamber, and the integrated dust collector 22 is located on the converter roof 14. The air injection duct 21 is connected to the cold air fan 20, and the exhaust duct 23 is connected to the integrated dust collector 22. The cold air fan 20 blows cold air into the smoke isolation chamber and the converter roof 14 through the air injection duct 21, and then connects to the integrated dust collector 22 through the exhaust duct 23. After filtering the dust inside the smoke isolation chamber, the hot air is discharged, preventing the overflow dust from the converter 6 from rising into the converter tower area. The converter flue gas sealing system provided by this utility model can exchange heat in the smoke isolation chamber, avoiding problems such as deformation and damage caused by heat accumulation in the smoke isolation chamber.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the converter fume hood includes a first fume hood 2 that extends from top to bottom through the converter roof 14 and the flue gas chamber roof 8, covering the furnace opening of the converter 6. The first fume hood 2 is located below the converter roof 14. The movable fume hood 1 also includes a second fume hood 3, located above the converter roof 14. The first fume hood 2 and the second fume hood 3 are detachably connected, with the converter roof 14 as the boundary. A transverse trolley 11 is provided on the converter roof 14, connected to the bottom end of the side wall of the second fume hood 3. The second fume hood 3 is placed on the transverse trolley 11, and the second fume hood 3 can be moved away by moving the transverse trolley 11 during converter 6 maintenance.

[0036] Furthermore, the sidewall of the first fume hood 2 is sealed to the converter roof 14 and the flue gas purifier roof 8. The first fume hood 2 has a downwardly extending first sidewall 2.1, which bends outward and upward at its lower opening to form a second sidewall 2.2. The first sidewall 2.1 and the second sidewall 2.2 form a U-shaped bend, and the second sidewall 2.2 is sealed to the converter roof 14 and the flue gas purifier roof 8. A vertical guard plate 10 is also provided between the flue gas purifier roof 8 and the converter roof 14, sealing the ends of the flue gas purifier roof 8 and the converter roof 14. The second sidewall 2.2 is sealed to the vertical guard plate 10.

[0037] The converter fume hood also includes a movable fume hood 1, which is vertically adjustable and installed inside the first fume hood 2. One end of the movable fume hood 1 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first fume hood 2, and the other end extends towards the converter 6 furnace opening. Preferably, the radius of the movable fume hood 1 gradually increases along the vertical direction to achieve better smoke extraction. The movable fume hood 1 is raised and lowered by a lifting mechanism 4, which is located between the converter roof 14 and the smoke-insulating chamber roof 8 and outside the first fume hood 2. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a hydraulic push rod 4.1, which passes through the smoke-insulating chamber roof 8 and enters the smoke-insulating chamber. The end of the hydraulic push rod 4.1 is connected to an L-shaped connector 5 extending into the interior of the first fume hood 2, and the movable fume hood 1 is fixed to the L-shaped connector 5. A sealing cover 4.2 is provided outside the hydraulic push rod 4.1. The projection of the sealing cover 4.2 on the smoke-insulating chamber roof 8 completely covers the entrance of the hydraulic push rod 4.1 on the smoke-insulating chamber roof 8 to prevent high-temperature flue gas from leaking from the entrance. The L-shaped connector 5 is also equipped with a guide wheel 5.2 that slides against the inner wall of the first smoke hood 2. The movable smoke hood 1 is located below the guide wheel 5.2. Further, the L-shaped connector 5 extends between the second side wall 2.2 and the vertical guard plate 10, with the guide wheel 5.2 slidably connected to the second side wall 2.2. A lifting lug 5.1 is provided at the end of the L-shaped connector 5 near the hydraulic push rod 4.1, and the L-shaped connector 5 is connected to the hydraulic push rod 4.1 via the lifting lug 5.1. When the hydraulic push rod 4.1 extends or retracts, it will cause the L-shaped connector 5 to rise and fall vertically, thereby causing the guide wheel 5.2 to slide on the second side wall 2.2 of the first smoke hood 2, and thus causing the movable smoke hood 1 to rise and fall vertically, achieving the purpose of adjusting the height of the movable smoke hood 1.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an annular nitrogen sealing pipe 9 is also provided between the second side wall 2.2 and the vertical guard plate 10, with multiple nozzles 13 arranged towards the center of the converter 6. The nitrogen sealing pipe 9 is connected to the external nitrogen supply pipe 12, and prevents high-temperature flue gas from leaking from the gap between the movable fume hood 1 and the second side wall 2.2 into the space between the second side wall 2.2 and the vertical guard plate 10 by injecting nitrogen gas into the space between the second side wall 2.2 and the vertical guard plate 10.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, the nitrogen supply pipe 12 is connected from the nitrogen system, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a manual valve 15, a regulating valve 16, a shut-off valve 17, a flow meter 18, and a check valve 19 are sequentially installed along the nitrogen flow direction on the nitrogen supply pipeline 12 to regulate the nitrogen flow rate and the start and stop of nitrogen supply. The manual valve 15, for maintenance purposes, should remain normally open. When the movable fume hood 1 descends to the working position, the shut-off valve 17 is opened to provide a nitrogen flow path, and the regulating valve 16 is opened to the set valve position. The flow meter 18 monitors the flow rate in the nitrogen supply pipeline 12 in real time, and the check valve 19 ensures that the nitrogen entering the nitrogen sealing pipeline 9 does not flow back, guaranteeing system safety.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
