Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blast furnace production technology, specifically to a blast furnace tuyeres small sleeve installation and testing tool. Background Technology

[0002] The tuyeres are a key component of a blast furnace in an ironmaking plant. During normal blast furnace production, the high-temperature hot air blown in through the tuyeres reacts with the coke at the bottom of the furnace to generate CO. As the CO rises, it reduces iron, which was originally in oxide form. The tuyeres are installed in the furnace wall between the belly and the bottom of the furnace. During normal production, they must withstand temperatures exceeding 1500℃ and abrasion from the furnace charge and slag. Their main material is high-purity copper. During planned maintenance, faulty tuyer sleeves are typically replaced. However, checking the accuracy and effectiveness of the sleeve installation can only be done after the direct-blowing pipe is installed, which significantly impacts work efficiency. Therefore, how to test the sleeve installation before installing the direct-blowing pipe has become a pressing problem. Summary of the Invention

The strip groove is opened along the length of the protective shell, and its right end is aligned with the vertical edge of the L-shaped blowpipe. Its left end extends vertically out of the left end face of the protective shell along the length of the protective shell. Thus, by setting the strip groove, the L-shaped blowpipe is inserted into the protective shell from the left end, and the right end of the strip groove ensures that the horizontal end face of the L-shaped blowpipe is coplanar with the right end face of the spherical top.

[0009] Preferably, the ball valve is a DN25 ball valve, and a pressure gauge is also connected to the pipeline between the gas source and the ball valve to ensure that the gas source pressure is qualified.

The vertical side of the L-shaped blowpipe 5 is located on the left side and extends vertically upward from the middle left side of the protective shell 1 to the outer circumference of the protective shell 1. It is connected to the air source 8 through a pipeline via a ball valve 6 and then the spherical top head 2 is coaxially fitted onto the small sleeve. After ensuring that one end of the horizontal side of the L-shaped blowpipe 5 is coaxially aligned with the small sleeve, the small sleeve is then tested for sealing through the cooperation of the air source 8, the ball valve 6, and the L-shaped blowpipe 5. The ball valve 6 is a DN25 ball valve, and a pressure gauge 7 is also connected to the pipeline between the air source 8 and the ball valve 6 to ensure that the air source pressure is qualified.
