[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molten iron casting technology, and in particular to a ferrosilicon casting system for an electric arc furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, molten iron casting is carried out using a double-girder bridge crane (hereinafter referred to as "crane"). During the process, the tapping worker controls the tapping ladle to move along the track to the designated position (near the ingot mold). Then, the tapping worker cooperates with the crane operator to hang the "gantry frame" and small ditch lifting tools. After the casting conditions are met, the crane operator operates the crane to carry out the molten iron casting operation. During the casting process, the tapping worker's work procedures are complicated, there are many types of tools and equipment, and there are various uncontrollable safety factors at all times. At the same time, the casting fumes are large and the unorganized fumes cannot be effectively controlled, resulting in a poor workshop environment that fails to meet environmental protection requirements. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the existing technical problems, this utility model provides a ferrosilicon casting system for electric arc furnaces.

[0004] To achieve the objectives of this utility model, the technical solution adopted is as follows:

Conversely, when an element is said to be "directly" connected to another element, there is no intermediate element.

[0019] Example

[0020] Combination Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a ferrosilicon casting system for an electric arc furnace, which includes an electric arc furnace 16, a tapping track 1, a tapping ladle car 2, a turntable 3, a fume hood 4, a ladle turning machine 5, an ingot mold car 6, a transfer car 7, an ingot mold tilting machine 8, a ventilation duct 9, a transfer line 10, a casting line 11, a cooling line 12, a chute car 13, a slag removal platform 14, and an iron dumping trough car 15. Specifically, an iron tapping track 1 is provided below the tapping port of the electric arc furnace 16, and the iron tapping ladle car 2 moves along the iron tapping track 1; a casting line 11 is provided on one side of the iron tapping track 1, and a ladle turning machine 5 and an ingot mold car 6 travel on the casting line 11, with an empty ingot mold on the ingot mold car 6; the iron tapping ladle car 2 travels to the ladle turning machine 5 to pour molten iron into the empty ingot mold; and the casting line 11 crosses the fume hood 4; the ladle turning machine 5 is located on the chute car 13, and the transfer car 7 is located on the ladle turning machine 5; a cooling line 12 is provided parallel to the casting line 11, and the ingot mold tilting machine 8 moves on the cooling line 12, and the empty ingot mold after casting is transferred to the cooling line 12 by the transfer car 7; the ingot mold car 6 travels to the ingot mold tilting machine 8, pours the ferrosilicon in the cooled empty ingot mold into the iron trough of the iron pouring car 15, and the empty ingot mold continues to return to the casting line 11 by the transfer car 7 to wait for the next casting.

[0021] In this embodiment, the shuttle car 7 is located above and to the side of the bag-turning machine 5. The smoke hood 4 is equipped with a ventilation duct 9, one end of which is connected to an external dust collector (not shown in the figure). When the bag-turning machine 5 is completely covered by the smoke hood 4, the generated smoke is collected by the dust collector through the ventilation duct 9, improving environmental protection. It should be noted that the iron-discharging track 1 is laid according to the actual situation.

[0022] One end of the tapping track 1 is located below the tapping port of the electric arc furnace 16, and the other end is connected to the turntable 3 on the transfer line 10; the tapping ladle 2 moves on the tapping track 1; a casting line 11 is set parallel to the transfer line 10, and a ladle turning machine 5, a slag removal platform 14, a chute 13, and a fume hood 4 are provided at the location of the casting line 11. The casting line 11 passes through the fume hood 4, and the ladle turning machine 5, the slag removal platform 14, and the chute 13 are all located on the side of the casting line 11, with the ladle turning machine 5 located above the chute 13.

[0023] The cooling line 12 is set parallel to the casting line 11, and the cooling line 12 and the transfer line 10 are located on different sides of the casting line 11. The shuttle car 7 moves on the cooling line 12 and the casting line 11. Specifically, a movable empty ingot mold is provided on the cooling line 12. The outer side of the movable empty ingot mold is provided with a cooling fan (not shown in the figure). The purpose of setting the cooling fan is to provide a cooling effect for the molten iron in the ingot mold after casting, so as to quickly form ferrosilicon.

[0024] The casting process is as follows: Each submerged arc furnace is equipped with an additional set of tapping rails 1. These rails are powered by a 36V power supply to move the tapping ladle car 2. The ladle car 2 travels via a turntable 3 on the transfer line 10 to the ladle turning machine 5 for casting. The ladle turning machine 5 is fixed, and a fixed fume hood 4 is installed above it. The ingot mold is transported across the fume hood 4 on the casting line 11 via a powered ingot mold car 6 (36V AC) on the tapping rails 1, and then sequentially passes through the ladle turning machine 5 for casting. After casting, the ingot mold is transferred to the cooling line 12 via a transfer car 7. The ingot mold contains cast ferrosilicon. The ingot mold car 6 travels sequentially to the ingot mold tilting machine 8, where the cooled ferrosilicon is poured into the iron trough of the ferrosilicon dumping car 15. Empty ingot molds are then returned to the casting line 11 via the transfer car 7 to await the next casting.

[0025] The flue gas collection process is as follows: For the collection of flue gas generated during casting, the dust collectors corresponding to each submerged arc furnace are used to recover the flue gas through the fixed fume hood 4 and the ventilation duct 9 connected to it. In order not to affect the dust removal effect of the dust collector for a long time, an electric valve is installed on the connected ventilation duct 9. When casting is not in progress, the electric valve is closed, and when casting is in progress, the electric valve is opened.

[0026] Taking a ferrosilicon casting project in a factory as an example: two submerged arc furnaces are jointly equipped with a fixed ladle turning machine 5 (with a pit below the ladle turning machine 5), a set of rail-powered ladle cars 2, and two sets of ingot mold cars 6. Each set of ingot mold cars 6 is equipped with 13 ingot molds. The capacity of each ladle is planned to be 7 tons, the thickness of the molten iron casting is 6cm, and the specifications of each ingot mold are 2.5 meters long and 1.8 meters wide, with a corresponding effective volume of 2.3 meters × 1.6 meters; one slag trough and one tractor.

[0027] The corresponding slag removal process is as follows: the ladle car 2 moves to the ladle turning machine 5 to remove slag. Before removing slag, the chute car 13 moves to the middle position of the ladle turning machine 5. After removing slag, the ladle car 2 carries the molten iron ladle back to the turntable 3. After rotating 180°, the ladle car 2 continues to transport the molten iron to the ladle turning machine 5 for casting. Before casting, the chute car 13 moves the casting chute to the middle position of the ladle turning machine 5 for casting.

[0028] The corresponding process for collecting casting fumes is as follows: the ventilation duct 9 of the fume hood 4 is connected to the front end of the main fan of the dust collector corresponding to the two electric arc furnaces. The diameter of the ventilation duct 9 can be selected as 1.4 meters. In order not to affect the dust removal effect of the dust collector for a long time, an electric valve is installed on the connected ventilation duct 9. The electric valve is closed when casting is not in progress and opened when casting is in progress.

[0029] The ladle-turning machine 5 uses a remote control to control the tilting speed and pour molten iron onto the ingot mold. It is equipped with a separate hydraulic station, with one oil pump in use and one on standby. The hydraulic station must have a cooling function to ensure the normal and stable operation of the ladle-turning machine 5.

[0030] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model, described in a relatively specific and detailed manner, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
