Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of blast furnace technology in steelmaking, specifically a blast furnace slag discharge structure. Background Technology
[0002] A blast furnace uses steel plates as its shell, lined with refractory bricks. The blast furnace body is divided into five parts from top to bottom: the throat, the body, the waist, the belly, and the hearth. Due to the advantages of blast furnace ironmaking technology and economic indicators, simple process, large production capacity, high labor productivity, and low energy consumption, iron produced using this method accounts for the vast majority of the world's total iron production. After production is complete, molten iron and slag need to be discharged simultaneously. Discharging both at the same time can easily lead to slag outlet blockage. To prevent blockage, a blast furnace slag discharge structure is required.
[0003] Research and analysis have revealed that existing blast furnaces, after completing steelmaking, need to discharge slag and molten iron. During the discharge process, since both are discharged and transported simultaneously, it is easy to cause blockage at the slag outlet or insufficient material flow. Furthermore, because the discharged slag is high-temperature granular and lacks cooling components, the tires of the forklifts used by workers to transport the slag are prone to cracking due to the high temperature, resulting in high safety risks for workers and low efficiency in transporting the slag.

[0026] Reference Figure 4-6In this embodiment, the exhaust mechanism includes an exhaust fan 9, a diversion exhaust pipe 901, an exhaust head 902, an electric cylinder 903, and a connecting rod 9031.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-6 In this embodiment, the splash guard 3, the guide net plate 4, the baffle 501, the diversion water pipe 6, the nozzle 602, the chain wheel 701, the conveyor belt of the chain conveyor belt 8, the diversion exhaust pipe 901, the exhaust head 902, and the connecting rod 9031 are all made of high-temperature alloy material.

[0029] Working principle: First, the operator opens the high-temperature resistant gate 201, mixing slag and molten iron together and discharging it through the slag outlet A202. During the discharge process, the molten iron flows through the mesh guide plate 4 into the molten iron guide trough 101, while the slag is blocked by the baffle 501. At this time, the operator controls the winch 502 to automatically and periodically reel in the steel cable. When the steel cable is retracted, it pulls the baffle 501 back into the movable chamber 5, thereby releasing the obstruction of the slag and allowing it to fall through the slag outlet B203 onto the chain conveyor belt 8 for transport. When the steel cable is released, the baffle 501, affected by the spring, pops out again to block the slag. This repetitive action prevents blockage during the slag discharge process. When slag is conveyed by the chain conveyor belt 8, water can be pumped through the diversion pipe 6 by starting an external water pump and sprayed out through the nozzle 602. The motor 7 drives the chain wheel 701 to rotate. Under the transmission of the chain wheel 701 and the chain, the rotary joint 601 drives the nozzle 602 to rotate. This allows the sprayed water to spread outward due to centrifugal force, thereby increasing the spray area. At the same time, the exhaust fan 9 can be started to extract the high-temperature air from the working room 1 using the exhaust heads 902. The electric cylinder 903 can be controlled to drive the connecting rod 9031 to reciprocate, thereby driving the exhaust heads 902 to reciprocate synchronously under the action of the high-temperature resistant hose, thereby increasing the exhaust area.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
