Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, specifically an improved vertical shaft furnace for metallurgy. Background Technology
[0002] After the mineral powder is ground into fine powder, it is formed into green pellets of 8-16mm using a pelletizing disc. The green pellets are then fed into a vertical shaft furnace for roasting to produce high-strength pellets, which are then used as raw materials for blast furnaces or submerged arc furnaces. Inside the vertical shaft furnace, the green pellets and the heat source are in a countercurrent state, with the green pellets moving downwards and the hot gas moving upwards.
[0003] However, the existing vertical shaft furnace discharges pellets at high temperatures, which can easily damage the discharge equipment and also consumes a lot of energy, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the pellets discharged from existing vertical shaft furnaces have a high temperature, which can easily lead to damage to the discharge equipment and high energy consumption.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an improved vertical shaft furnace for metallurgy, comprising a base and a circular vertical shaft furnace body installed above the base. The top of the vertical shaft furnace body is provided with a furnace cover. The interior of the vertical shaft furnace body is provided with an inner wall, and a furnace chamber is provided between the inner wall and the inner wall of the vertical shaft furnace body. The top of the furnace chamber is provided with multiple material feeding ports, and the lower side is provided with multiple material feeding hoppers. The outer side of the vertical shaft furnace body is provided with a combustion chamber, and multiple through slots are provided between the combustion chamber and the furnace chamber. Multiple burners are installed on the side of the combustion chamber. An annular cold air duct is installed on the outer side of the vertical shaft furnace body above the material feeding hopper. The inner side of the cold air duct is provided with multiple air guide pipes connected to the furnace chamber, and the outer side is provided with an air inlet pipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the combustion chamber is arranged around the outside of the vertical furnace body.
[0007] Furthermore, the outside of the vertical furnace body is also equipped with combustion air pipes and gas pipes for supplying air and gas to the burners.
[0008] Furthermore, a discharge trolley is installed on the top of the base outside the vertical furnace body, and a discharge port is opened on the base.
[0009] Furthermore, an annular rail is installed on the top of the base, located on the outside of the vertical furnace body, and the discharge trolley moves along the annular rail.
[0010] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows: This invention delivers cold air to the lower part of the furnace through cold air ducts and gas guide pipes, which can cool the finished pellets and effectively reduce the damage to the discharge turntable caused by high temperature; secondly, after the cold air is transformed into hot air, it carries the heat to the upper part, thereby reducing the amount of gas used and energy consumption, and the hot air can quickly dry the green pellets and increase the output.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, an improved vertical shaft furnace for metallurgy includes a base 1 and a circular vertical shaft furnace body 2 mounted above the base 1. The top of the vertical shaft furnace body 2 is provided with a furnace cover 3. The interior of the vertical shaft furnace body 2 is provided with an inner wall 4. A furnace chamber 5 is provided between the inner wall 4 and the inner wall of the vertical shaft furnace body 2. The top of the furnace chamber 5 is provided with multiple material feeding ports 6, and the lower side is provided with multiple material feeding hoppers 7. The outside of the vertical shaft furnace body 2 is provided with a combustion chamber 8, which is arranged around the outside of the vertical shaft furnace body 2 and has a through groove between it and the furnace chamber 5. Multiple burners 9 are installed on the side of the combustion chamber 8. Combustion air pipes 12 and gas pipes 13 for supplying air and gas to the burners 9 are also installed on the outside of the vertical shaft furnace body 2.
[0015] Green pellets are fed into the furnace 5 through the feeding port 6. The burner 9 is opened, and the high-temperature gas flow generated by the combustion of gas in the combustion chamber 8 enters the furnace 5 through the channel to roast the green pellets.
[0016] An annular cold air duct 10 is installed on the outside of the vertical furnace body 2 above the feeding hopper 7. The cold air duct 10 has multiple air guide pipes 11 connected to the furnace chamber 5 on its inner side and an air inlet pipe on its outer side.
[0017] The air inlet pipe is connected to an external blower. After entering the cold air duct 10, the cold air enters the furnace 5 through the air guide pipe 11. The cold air cools the finished pellets after roasting. At the same time, the temperature of the cold air rises to form hot air. The hot air rises and carries the heat up, increasing the temperature of the upper part of the furnace 5. The hot air can also dry the raw pellets.
[0018] The base 1 is equipped with a discharge turntable 14 on the outside of the vertical furnace body 2, and the base 1 is provided with a discharge port. The base 1 is equipped with a ring rail on the outside of the vertical furnace body 2, and the discharge turntable 14 moves along the ring rail.
[0019] When the discharge turntable 14 rotates to the corresponding position of the discharge hopper 7, the discharge hopper 7 is opened, and the pellets can be discharged into the discharge turntable 14. When the discharge turntable 14 moves to the discharge port, the pellets can be discharged into the discharge pit through the discharge port.
[0020] In practical use, the high-temperature airflow generated by combustion in the combustion chamber 8 enters the furnace 5 through the through-slot to roast the green pellets. Cold air is delivered to the lower part of the furnace 5 through the cold air pipe 10 and the gas guide pipe 11, which can cool down the finished pellets and effectively reduce the damage to the discharge turntable 14 caused by high temperature. Secondly, after the cold air turns into hot air, it carries the heat to the upper part, which can reduce the amount of gas used and reduce energy consumption. Moreover, the hot air can quickly dry the green pellets and increase the output.
