Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steelmaking technology, specifically to an oxygen supply system for improving the metallurgical quality of high-carbon steel. Background Technology
[0002] In the refining of high-carbon steel, in order to improve the purity control of special steel, high carbon extraction technology is explored to solve the problem of steel over-oxidation. Increasing the carbon content can reduce the amount of alloy added and reduce production costs. Currently, when increasing the carbon content, oxygen is usually injected into the converter using an oxygen lance. The oxygen is generally sourced from oxygen plants through pipelines, which deliver high-pressure, high-purity oxygen. The oxygen is then injected into the converter at high speed by the oxygen lance. The current problem is that when the pipeline needs maintenance, oxygen cannot be supplied to the converter, which will delay the steel plant's production. Therefore, this application proposes an oxygen supply system that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0011] Beneficial effects:

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown:
[0019] Example 1: An oxygen supply system for improving the metallurgical quality of high carbon steel includes an oxygen pipeline 1 laid from an oxygen plant and an oxygen lance device 5. The oxygen pipeline 1 is equipped with a first valve 2 and is connected to a first delivery pipe 4 equipped with a second valve 3. The first valve 2 controls whether oxygen can enter the first delivery pipe 4. The first delivery pipe 4 is connected to the oxygen lance device 5. When the oxygen pipeline is in normal use, oxygen can be directly delivered into the oxygen lance device 5, and the oxygen through the oxygen lance device 5 enters the converter at a very high speed.
[0020] An oxygen storage tank 7 is connected to the first delivery pipe 4 via a second delivery pipe 6. A third valve 8 is provided on the second delivery pipe 6. A high-pressure delivery mechanism is connected to the first delivery pipe 4 on the side of the second delivery pipe 6 above the third valve 8. The connection between the high-pressure delivery mechanism and the first delivery pipe 4 is located between the second valve 3 and the oxygen gun device 5.
[0021] When the oxygen pipeline 1 of the oxygen plant needs maintenance or repair, in order to ensure the needs of steelmaking, the oxygen can be temporarily stored in the oxygen storage tank 7 through the second transmission pipe 6. When the oxygen in the oxygen storage tank 7 is used, the first valve 2 and the second valve 3 are closed, and the oxygen is transported to the oxygen lance equipment 5 through the high-pressure transmission mechanism.
[0022] The oxygen storage tank 7 is equipped with a piston rod 9, one end of which is equipped with a piston 10. A pressure sensor 11 is provided on the side of the piston 10 facing the second delivery pipe 6. The other end of the piston 10 passes through the oxygen storage tank 7 and is connected to a horizontal plate 12. When the horizontal plate 12 contacts the oxygen storage tank 7, the piston 10 is on the right side of the second delivery pipe 6.
[0023] There is also an air inlet pipe on the right side of the oxygen storage tank 7, located above the horizontal plate 12;
[0024] With the piston rod 9 and piston 10 in place, after oxygen enters the oxygen storage tank 7, the piston can be pushed to the right until the piston 10 contacts the side of the oxygen storage tank 7. The pressure sensor 11 can detect the pressure value in the oxygen storage tank 7, thereby stopping the injection of oxygen into the oxygen storage tank 7.
[0025] The horizontal plate 12 is connected to a reset mechanism. With the reset mechanism, after the oxygen is discharged from the oxygen storage tank 7, the piston 10 can be driven to move to the left.
[0026] Example 2: An oxygen supply system for improving the metallurgical quality of high carbon steel includes an oxygen pipeline 1 laid from an oxygen plant and an oxygen lance device 5. The oxygen pipeline 1 is equipped with a first valve 2 and is connected to a first delivery pipe 4 with a second valve 3. The first valve 2 controls whether oxygen can enter the first delivery pipe 4. The first delivery pipe 4 is connected to the oxygen lance device 5. When the oxygen pipeline is in normal use, oxygen can be directly delivered into the oxygen lance device 5, and the oxygen through the oxygen lance device 5 enters the converter at a very high speed.
[0027] An oxygen storage tank 7 is connected to the first delivery pipe 4 via a second delivery pipe 6. At least one set of oxygen storage tanks 7 is provided. A third valve 8 is provided on the second delivery pipe 6. The side of the second delivery pipe 6 above the third valve 8 is connected to the first delivery pipe 4 via a high-pressure delivery mechanism. The connection between the high-pressure delivery mechanism and the first delivery pipe 4 is located between the second valve 3 and the oxygen gun device 5.
[0028] The high-pressure conveying mechanism includes a third conveying pipe 13 connected to the second conveying pipe 6, and a high-pressure pump 14 connected to the third conveying pipe 13. The high-pressure pump 14 is connected to the first conveying pipe 4 through a fourth conveying pipe 15.
[0029] When the oxygen pipeline 1 of the oxygen plant needs maintenance or repair, in order to ensure the needs of steelmaking, the oxygen can be temporarily stored in the oxygen storage tank 7 through the second transmission pipe 6. When the oxygen in the oxygen storage tank 7 is used, the first valve 2 and the second valve 3 are closed, and the oxygen is transported to the oxygen lance equipment 5 through the high-pressure transmission mechanism.
[0030] The oxygen storage tank 7 is equipped with a piston rod 9, one end of which is equipped with a piston 10. A pressure sensor 11 is provided on the side of the piston 10 facing the second delivery pipe 6. The other end of the piston 10 passes through the oxygen storage tank 7 and is connected to a horizontal plate 12. When the horizontal plate 12 contacts the oxygen storage tank 7, the piston 10 is on the right side of the second delivery pipe 6.
[0031] There is also an air inlet pipe on the right side of the oxygen storage tank 7, located above the horizontal plate 12;
[0032] With the piston rod 9 and piston 10 in place, after oxygen enters the oxygen storage tank 7, it can push the piston to the right until the piston 10 contacts the side of the oxygen storage tank 7. The pressure sensor 11 can detect the pressure value in the oxygen storage tank 7, thereby stopping the injection of oxygen into the oxygen storage tank 7.
[0033] The horizontal plate 12 is connected to a reset mechanism, which includes a telescopic mechanism set on both the front and rear sides of the oxygen storage tank 7. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism is provided with a vertically set bidirectional cylinder 17, and both ends of the bidirectional cylinder 17 are provided with locking blocks 18. The telescopic mechanism adopts a hydraulic rod 19.
[0034] With the reset mechanism, when the telescopic mechanism retracts to its original position, the bidirectional cylinder 17 can clamp the horizontal plate 12 through the locking block 18 and move synchronously to the oxygen storage tank 7. After the oxygen is discharged from the oxygen storage tank 7, the horizontal plate 12 can drive the piston 10 to move to the left, so as to keep the oxygen pressure in the oxygen storage tank 7 in a certain range as much as possible, so as to facilitate the supply of oxygen to the oxygen gun device 5.
[0035] After the oxygen pipeline 1 is repaired, oxygen should be injected into the oxygen storage tank 7 in a timely manner.
[0036] The oxygen storage tank 7 has a distance sensor 20 on its side opposite to the horizontal plate 12.
[0037] Working principle:
[0038] 1. When the first valve 2 and the second valve 3 are opened, the oxygen supply pipeline 1 from the oxygen plant supplies oxygen directly to the oxygen lance equipment 5 through the first delivery pipe 4. The oxygen lance equipment 5 then discharges high-pressure, high-purity oxygen into the converter at high speed.
[0039] 2. Before the oxygen plant needs to inspect and maintain the oxygen supply pipeline 1, with the oxygen gun equipment 5 idle, close the second valve 3 and open the third valve 8. Inject oxygen into the oxygen storage tank 7 through the oxygen supply pipeline 1 and the second delivery pipe 6. The injected oxygen is high-pressure, high-purity oxygen. The oxygen pressure can be detected by the pressure sensor 11. After the oxygen enters the oxygen storage tank 7, it can push the piston 10 and piston rod 9 to move to the right until they contact the side wall of the oxygen storage tank 7. At the same time, the distance sensor 20 can detect the distance the horizontal plate 20 moves. When the horizontal plate 12 stops moving, the distance detected by the distance sensor 20 remains unchanged. The piston 10 contacts the side wall of the oxygen storage tank 7, indicating that the oxygen injection is complete. Then close the first valve 2 and the third valve 8 in time.
[0040] 3. When the oxygen plant needs to repair the oxygen pipeline and needs to inject oxygen into the converter through the oxygen lance equipment 5, close the first valve 2 and the second valve 3, open the third valve 8, and use the high-pressure pump 14 to inject oxygen from the oxygen storage tank 7 into the oxygen lance equipment 5 through the third delivery pipe 13, the fourth delivery pipe 15 and the first delivery pipe 4. The oxygen lance equipment 5 can inject high-pressure, high-purity oxygen into the converter at high speed. After the oxygen injection is completed, close the third valve 8 in time.
[0041] 4. After the maintenance of oxygen pipeline 1 is completed, oxygen should be replenished to oxygen storage tank 7 in a timely manner.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
