Because at the beginning of RH vacuum furnace smelting, with the lifting of the ladle, the slag above the molten steel will enter the two immersion pipes earlier than the molten steel, and will be sucked into the vacuum tank during the pressure drop in the vacuum chamber. A part of the slag entering the vacuum tank is brought to the RH elbow and the wall of the tank due to molten steel spatter, and another part of the slag is gradually brought into the molten steel in the ladle during the molten steel circulation in the vacuum tank, until the initial slag in the tank is completely removed. The slag entering the vacuum tank not only affects the normal operation of the RH vacuum furnace, but also causes the oxidation of oxygen absorption of steel, the deterioration of purity and other hazards.

[0013] As shown in Figure 1 , 2 , the RH vacuum furnace immersion pipe slag prevention device in the embodiment includes a vacuum tank 1, and the vacuum tank 1 is symmetrically provided with an immersion pipe 2 at the bottom. A moving arm 5 is arranged vertically below the immersion pipe 2, and the moving arm 5 is symmetrically provided with a sleeve ring 4 at the top. The immersion pipe 2 corresponds to the sleeve ring 4. A slag prevention film 3 made of metal material is arranged in the sleeve ring 4, and the slag prevention film 3 is a conical structure.
