DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-6 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0028] As Figures 1-3 shown, the tilting type metallurgical furnace kiln arc-shaped sealing feeding hopper comprises a main body 1 and a hopper 2, wherein the upper half is composed of an upper hopper 21, a flat panel 8, an upper arc-shaped panel 31, a front plug valve 91 and a rear plug valve 92, and the lower half is composed of a lower hopper 22, a lower arc-shaped panel 32, a pressing sheet 4, rock wool 5, a blocking stick 6 and a flange plate 7. When in use, first, an opening is needed to be opened on an operation platform, the size of which is the same as that of the upper opening of the upper hopper 21, then the upper half of the tilting type metallurgical furnace kiln arc-shaped sealing feeding hopper is installed into the opening, and then the flange plate 7 of the lower half of the tilting type metallurgical furnace kiln arc-shaped sealing feeding hopper is connected with the flange of the furnace kiln by bolts. When installing and connecting, it is needed to pay attention to that the long side of the arc-shaped panel 3 is consistent with the turning direction of the furnace kiln when tilting. When in use, the tilting type metallurgical furnace kiln is turned into the production position, the lower discharging belt of the furnace top is opened, and the materials are dropped into the upper hopper 21, so that the material feeding process is realized smoothly, stably, without scattering and leaking.
[0029] In further preferable embodiments of the utility model, reference Figures 1-5As shown, the upper hopper 21 can be tightly connected with the operation platform through the plane plate 8, and does not need to be welded or fixed by screws, so that the installation, maintenance and repair are very convenient.
[0030] In further preferable embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 As shown, the arc-shaped plate 3 is composed of an upper arc-shaped plate 31 and a lower arc-shaped plate 32, and the curvature of the arc surface is determined by the curvature formed when the furnace tilts, so that the upper arc-shaped plate 31 and the lower arc-shaped plate 32 are tightly connected. Meanwhile, the arc-shaped plate 3 is designed to be relatively wide, so that the material will not fall even if it leaks into the gap, and the sealing effect can be achieved after the material is blocked.
[0031] In further preferable embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 As shown, the upper arc-shaped plate 31 is slightly longer than the lower arc-shaped plate 32, and the two ends are slightly raised upward. This design can avoid the jamming and obstruction between the arc-shaped plates 3 during the tilting of the furnace, and even if there is a small obstruction, the upper hopper 21 can be lifted to make the lower arc-shaped plate 32 smoothly enter the predetermined position, so that the whole upper hopper 21 will not be tilted and affect the tilting of the furnace.
[0032] In further preferable embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 As shown, the rock wool 5 is placed under the pressing plate 4 and pressed to the edge of the rock wool 5. Due to the characteristics of high temperature resistance and elasticity of the rock wool 5, effective isolation and sealing effect can be achieved between the upper arc-shaped plate 31 and the lower arc-shaped plate 32, so as to prevent the material dust from seeping and escaping.
[0033] In further preferable embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 As shown, the hopper 2 is composed of an upper hopper 21 and a lower hopper 22, which are both made of a conical funnel welded by carbon steel, and both have a large opening upward. The size of the lower outlet of the upper hopper 21 is the same as or slightly smaller than the size of the material receiving port of the lower hopper 22. The conical funnel design effectively reduces the adhesion of the material on the hopper 2.
[0034] In further preferable embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5 As shown, the plug valve 9 is composed of a front plug valve 91 and a rear plug valve 92, which are both integral purchase parts processed, and the plug is cut into a semicircular hole according to the amount of material added. When installed, the plug valve 9 needs to be inclined downward. This design can adjust the size of the discharge hole according to the amount of material added, so as to effectively reduce the overflow of the furnace slag and dust, reduce air leakage, save energy, and stabilize the furnace condition.
[0035] In further preferable embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 1-5As shown, the flange plate 7 is provided with four arc-shaped strip openings for fixing bolts, and the opening width is the same as the bolt hole diameter, so as to be connected with the flange plate 7 reserved on the furnace. However, the utility model is not limited to this, and the arc-shaped strip openings can be more reasonably arranged according to the bolt hole position of the flange plate 7 reserved on the furnace body. The arc-shaped strip opening design can adapt to the flange hole reserved on various furnaces, so as to facilitate the installation process.
[0036] Next, taking the arc-shaped sealing feeding hopper of the tilting metallurgical furnace in the example embodiment as an example, the installation and use process of the arc-shaped sealing feeding hopper are simply introduced. First, an opening with the same size as the upper opening of the upper feeding hopper 21 is needed on the operation platform, and then the upper half composed of the upper feeding hopper 21, the flat plate 8, the upper arc-shaped plate 31, the front plug valve 91 and the rear plug valve 92 is installed into the opening. Then, the lower half composed of the lower feeding hopper 22, the lower arc-shaped plate 32, the pressing plate 4, the rock wool 5, the blocking rod 6 and the flange plate 7 is connected with the flange of the furnace by bolts. In use, the tilting metallurgical furnace is turned into the production position, and the lower feeding belt of the furnace top is opened to drop the material into the upper feeding hopper 21, so as to realize the smooth and stable feeding process without leakage and seepage. By adjusting the size of the lower feeding hole according to the feeding amount, the spouting of slag in the furnace, the overflow of dust, the air leakage, the energy saving and the stable furnace condition can be realized.
[0037] In the example embodiment, preferably, the wide design of the arc-shaped plate 3 reduces the material leakage gap and realizes the sealing effect after filling. At the same time, the pressing plate 4 and the rock wool 5 are arranged on the lower arc-shaped plate 32 to realize the interference fit between the arc-shaped plates 3. The arc-shaped sealing feeding hopper can effectively prevent the leakage and scattering of the dust generated by the material feeding into the furnace, and will not adversely affect the turning in and turning out of the furnace. Preferably, the plug valve 9 is used to adjust the size of the lower feeding hole, which can effectively reduce the spouting of slag in the furnace, the overflow of dust, the air leakage, the energy saving and the stable furnace condition.
[0038] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the utility model. Those skilled in the art to which the utility model belongs can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar ways to replace, but will not deviate from the spirit of the utility model or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
