Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of continuous casting auxiliary equipment, and specifically discloses a tool for washing the long nozzle of a steel ladle. Background Technology
[0002] In continuous casting, secondary oxidation occurs as molten steel flows from the ladle into the tundish. To reduce this secondary oxidation and improve billet quality, long nozzles are commonly used for sealing. However, in actual production, it has been found that as the long nozzle is continuously eroded by molten steel, large oxide deposits form on its inner wall, severely affecting the flow of molten steel. For example, at Handan Iron and Steel Group's No. 3 Steelmaking Plant, on average, the oxide deposits adhering to the inner wall of the long nozzle need to be cleaned with an oxygen-burning pipe every five heats. This is not only labor-intensive but also incomplete, generating significant amounts of yellow fumes that severely pollute the environment. Furthermore, the lifespan of the long nozzle is significantly reduced after several cleanings, requiring replacement on average every 10 heats, leading to increased refractory material costs.
[0003] Chinese patent CN206936365U discloses a tool for cleaning long nozzles of steel ladles, including refractory clay, a groove on the upper surface of the refractory clay, and a partition plate. The partition plate has a through-hole of considerable thickness in its center. The bottom surface of the partition plate coincides with the upper surface of the refractory clay. The upper end of the through-hole is connected to an oxygen pipe, and the lower end is connected to the groove. Multiple vent holes are formed inside the refractory clay, connecting the groove and the lower surface of the refractory clay. This invention's multiple vent holes ensure that oxygen thoroughly cleans the attached oxides along the inner wall of the long nozzle, while allowing the cleaned oxides to flow down the inner wall, which helps prevent backflow of airflow and molten oxides, extending the service life of the long nozzle. The partition plate effectively blocks the yellow smoke generated during cleaning, preventing environmental pollution. During cleaning, the operator only needs to place the tool at the upper opening of the long nozzle and open the oxygen valve to purge for 1-2 minutes, resulting in low labor intensity and preventing operators from being burned.
[0004] The ladle nozzle cleaning tool disclosed in the aforementioned document has a fixed vent hole, which prevents it from cleaning the deep parts of the nozzle from all angles and from absorbing the flue gas generated during cleaning. As a result, the tool is not very effective. Therefore, a ladle nozzle cleaning tool is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0028] In this embodiment: the first servo motor 9 is started, and the first servo motor 9 drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate back and forth through forward and reverse rotation, which in turn drives the slide plate 16 to move up and down along the slide rod 11. The slide plate 16 further drives the fixed tube 5 to move up and down, and then drives the rotating tube 4 to move up and down through the rotating joint 6, so that the rotating tube 4 can perform washing at different depths of the long water nozzle.

[0038] In this embodiment, two limiting rings are welded to the outer wall of the sleeve 3 to prevent the sleeve 3 from falling out of the refractory mud 1.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the lower end of the refractory clay 1 is inserted into the long water inlet, sealing the upper end of the inlet. Then, oxygen is introduced into the fixed pipe 5. The oxygen is sprayed outwards through the lower end of the rotating pipe 4, blowing towards the oxides adhering to the inner wall of the lower part of the long water inlet, thus burning and washing the oxides. Simultaneously, the air pump 15 is started. The air pump 15 draws the flue gas generated during the burning and washing inside the long water inlet into the adsorption chamber 13, and then pumps it into the flue gas treatment terminal for treatment before discharge, effectively avoiding environmental pollution. Then, the first servo motor 9 and the second... The servo motor 17 drives the threaded rod 10 to reciprocate through the forward and reverse rotation of the first servo motor 9, which in turn drives the slide plate 16 to move up and down along the slide rod 11. The slide plate 16 further drives the fixed tube 5 to move up and down, which in turn drives the rotating tube 4 to move up and down through the rotating joint 6, so that the rotating tube 4 can perform washing at different depths of the long water nozzle. The second servo motor 17 drives the first gear 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the sleeve 3 to rotate through the second gear 19. The sleeve 3 further drives the rotating tube 4 to rotate through the keyway 7 and the key bar 8, so that the long water nozzle can be washed in all directions, and the effect is good.
