Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, and in particular to a device for assembling and disassembling rake teeth in a multi-chamber roasting furnace under high temperature conditions. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of non-ferrous smelting enterprises, roasting is a common method, and multi-hearth roasting furnaces are a commonly used roasting equipment. Currently, commonly used multi-hearth roasting furnaces use a center-feeding system for odd-numbered layers and a wall-feeding system for even-numbered layers. They mainly consist of a motor, reducer, central shaft, rake arms, and rake teeth. The rake arms are mounted on the central shaft, and the rake teeth are mounted on the rake arms. After the furnace charge enters the furnace through the feed inlet, the rotation of the central shaft drives the angled rake teeth to move the material between the odd and even layers. Simultaneously, the rake teeth continuously agitate the material inside the furnace, ensuring uniform mixing, heating, and reaction. In the production of vanadium products, 200-mesh refined slag is mixed with sodium carbonate in a certain proportion and then added to a suitable amount of return slag before entering the multi-hearth roasting furnace for roasting at a high temperature of approximately 800℃. Due to impurities such as manganese ferroenyl and silicon in the refined slag, and the long-term exposure to high temperature and strong alkaline environment, the rake teeth experience significant wear and require regular replacement and maintenance to ensure they can agitate the material and move it within the furnace. Currently, due to limitations in technology and environment, replacing rake teeth requires stopping the machine and waiting for the furnace to cool down. Then, two technicians need to enter the furnace while one technician assists outside to disassemble and reassemble. This not only wastes time and reduces production efficiency, but also may cause damage to the furnace and other equipment and pose safety risks due to frequent start-ups and shutdowns.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need in the existing technology to improve the rake tooth assembly and disassembly device for multi-chamber roasting furnaces under high temperature conditions. Utility Model Content

[0034] like Figure 1 The image shows a rake tooth assembly / disassembly device for a multi-hearth roasting furnace under high-temperature conditions provided by this utility model, comprising:

[0035] The movable base 10 has a support platform 11;

[0036] The lifting platform 20 includes a top plate platform 21 and a lifting mechanism 22. The lifting mechanism 22 is mounted on the support platform 11 to drive the top plate platform 21 to rise and fall.

[0037] Telescopic device 30 is installed on the top plate platform 21 and can rotate and extend in the plane direction of the top plate platform 21.

[0038] The rake tooth frame 40 is fixed to the telescopic end of the telescopic device 30 to grasp or release the rake teeth 41.

[0039] Furthermore, the support platform 11 has multiple support columns 12 at its bottom, each with a wheel installed underneath. A push rod 15 is also provided on the side of the support platform 11. In some embodiments, the support platform 11 is constructed from 10mm thick steel plates welded into a rectangular frame, serving as the load-bearing base for the entire device. The support columns 12 consist of four Φ50mm steel columns vertically welded to the four corners of the bottom of the support platform 11, with a height of 20-40cm, used to raise the base's ground clearance and prevent uneven ground from affecting movement. Multiple wheels are installed under the support columns 12. One-way wheels 13 are installed at the front end of the support platform 11 (away from the push rod side), using heavy-duty industrial casters with brakes, a wheel diameter of 15cm, and a load capacity of 500kg. Casters 14 are installed at the rear end of the support platform 11 (near the push rod side), using casters of the same specifications, supporting 360° rotation. The one-way wheels 13 restrict the direction of travel, while the casters 14, in conjunction with hinges, enable steering, preventing jamming during movement.

[0040] Preferably, the push rod 15 is made of stainless steel tubing and is connected to the side of the support platform 11 via a hinge. The hinge angle adjustment range is 0~90°, facilitating flexible steering during pushing. The hinge design of the push rod 15 allows the operator to adjust the pushing angle according to their position, reducing labor intensity.

[0041] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 22 is a hand-cranked jack, and the top platform 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the hand-cranked jack. Preferably, the lifting mechanism 22 is a manual screw jack with a maximum lifting stroke of 500mm, which is fixed to the center of the support platform 11 by bolts. The hand-cranked jack provides stable vertical lifting, is not dependent on electricity, and meets the requirements for high temperature and explosion protection.

[0042] Furthermore, the telescopic device 30 includes:

[0043] Telescopic actuator 31 is fixed inside the top plate platform 21;

[0044] Telescopic rod 32 is connected to the output end of telescopic driver 31;

[0045] The connecting rod 33 is detachably connected to the telescopic rod 32.

[0046] The telescopic actuator 31 is a DC electric push rod (in some embodiments, rated voltage 24V, thrust 3000N), which is embedded in the mounting groove of the top plate platform 21 and fixed by bolts. The electric push rod provides precise telescopic control, and the telescopic stroke is adjustable from 0 to 1.5m to adapt to different furnace depths.

[0047] The telescopic rod 32 is made of stainless steel tube, and its front end is connected to the output end of the electric push rod through a coupling. It can extend and retract with the push rod and rotate ±30° around the axis.

[0048] The connecting rod 33 is a high-temperature resistant alloy rod, and its end is connected to the telescopic rod 32 through a cross-shaped fixing pin 34. Preferably, the pin has a diameter of 10mm and a length of 80mm. The cross-shaped pin enables the connecting rod 33 to be quickly replaced, which is convenient for maintenance or to adapt to different rake arm lengths.

[0049] Furthermore, the rake tooth frame 40 is welded to the end of the connecting rod, and its shape matches the contour of the rake tooth 41. It is used to fit the rake tooth and to achieve assembly and disassembly through telescopic movement.

[0050] Furthermore, the inner wall of the rake tooth frame 40 is provided with anti-slip texture, which can increase friction and reduce the risk of slipping when gripping the rake teeth 41.

[0051] Furthermore, the angle between the top of the rake tooth frame 40 and the connecting rod is 30~50°, which is adaptively adjusted based on the actual angle of the rake teeth.

[0052] Furthermore, a laser locator is also provided on the side of the rake tooth frame 40. The laser locator emits a laser to the rake teeth to assist in aligning the assembly and disassembly positions.

[0053] The specific operating procedure for this device is as follows:

[0054] Step 1: Mobile Positioning

[0055] Release the brake on the caster wheel 14, hold the push rod 15 and push the device to the working port of the multi-hearth roasting furnace, then depress the brake on the caster wheel 14 to lock the device in position.

[0056] Step 2: Height Adjustment

[0057] Turn the handle of the hand-cranked jack 22 to drive the top platform 21 to rise. Confirm that the horizontal position of the frame 40 matches the rake teeth. You can judge whether they match by aligning the laser positioner spot with the height of the rake tooth lug.

[0058] Step 3: Remove the old rake teeth

[0059] Activate the telescopic actuator 31 to push the telescopic rod 32 into the furnace, causing the sleeve 40 to engage with the old rake teeth. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic of the disassembly and assembly process.

[0060] Shake the jack 22 to lower the frame 40 by 5mm, disengaging it from the rake arm chute;

[0061] The telescopic rod 32 is retracted to bring the old rake teeth out of the furnace, where they are removed and replaced with new ones.

[0062] Step 4: Install new rake teeth

[0063] Place the new rake teeth into the frame 40, ensuring that the anti-slip pad layer adheres to the tooth surface;

[0064] Adjust the rotation angle of the telescopic rod 32, push the telescopic rod 32 to send the rake teeth into the chute, and shake the jack 22 to fine-tune the height until the hanging ear is engaged;

[0065] Retract the telescopic rod 32 to complete the single-tooth installation, and repeat until all rake teeth have been replaced.
