Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steelmaking converter technology, specifically a pulverized coal injection mechanism for a steelmaking converter. Background Technology

[0002] The pulverized coal injection mechanism in a steelmaking converter is an important piece of equipment in the ironmaking process. Its main function is to precisely inject pulverized coal into the converter to accelerate the chemical reaction inside the converter and improve the converter's efficiency and output.

[0003] Because coal contains some fibrous materials, which remain in fibrous form during the pulverization process, and also contains wood or plastic materials mixed in, forming impurities, these impurities enter the pulverized coal injection system along with the coal dust. This can lead to coal dust entering the pulverized coal distributor, gradually reducing the size of the distributor outlet or causing blockages, resulting in uneven pulverization across the distributor's branches, or even insufficient pulverization of the specified amount of coal.

[0004] In response to this situation, the usual measures are to stop pulverized coal injection and manually clean the pulverized coal distributor. Pulverized coal injection is often stopped 1-2 times a week, each time for more than 30 minutes, which affects production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that when the coal injection distributor of the existing coal injection mechanism is blocked, coal injection needs to be stopped and manually cleaned, which affects normal production.

[0007] The crushing mechanism includes a central shaft that passes through and is rotatably mounted on the housing, three crushing discs are mounted on the central shaft, and an impeller is mounted on the outer side of the central shaft at the end away from the feeding hopper;

[0008] The pulverized coal injection assembly includes a protective shell, a connecting pipe at the bottom of the protective shell, a distributor installed inside, multiple channels formed between the distributor and the inner wall of the protective shell, a pulverized coal injection pipe connected to the upper side of the protective shell at the position corresponding to each channel, and an anti-clogging component installed on the pulverized coal injection assembly.

[0009] The anti-blocking component includes an air guide pipe and a material guide pipe. Multiple branch pipes are installed on the air guide pipe and connected to the pulverized coal injection pipe. Multiple branch pipes are installed on the material guide pipe and connected to the head of the channel.

[0010] Furthermore, the housing is provided with three crushing chambers and one pulverizing chamber, the three crushing discs are respectively located in the three crushing chambers, the impeller is located in the pulverizing chamber, and the discharge pipe is located on the lower side of the pulverizing chamber.

[0011] Furthermore, the diameters of the three crushing discs gradually increase, with the crushing disc closest to the feed hopper having the smallest diameter; a retaining ring is provided between every two crushing chambers and between the crushing chamber and the pulverized coal injection chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, a pulley is installed at one end of the central shaft after it passes through the end face of the housing.

[0013] Furthermore, a pulley is installed at one end of the central shaft after it passes through the end face of the housing.

[0014] Furthermore, both the connecting pipe and the discharge pipe are equipped with flanges, and the two flanges are connected and fixed by bolts and nuts.

[0015] Furthermore, solenoid valves are installed on branch pipe one, branch pipe two, and pulverized coal injection pipe, with the valve on the pulverized coal injection pipe located at the end furthest from the protective casing.

[0016] The advantages of this utility model compared with the existing technology are as follows: When a channel is blocked, the solenoid valve on the corresponding coal injection pipe is closed, and the solenoid valves on the corresponding branch pipe one and branch pipe two are opened. The high-pressure airflow generated by the air pump back-blown the coal injection pipe and channel, causing the blocked coal powder to enter the collection box through branch pipe two for collection.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the crushing mechanism includes a central shaft 4 that passes through and is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. Three crushing discs 5 are mounted on the central shaft 4. An impeller 6 is mounted on the outer side of the central shaft 4 at the end away from the feeding hopper 2. The housing 1 has three crushing chambers and one pulverized coal injection chamber. The three crushing discs 5 are located in the three crushing chambers respectively. The impeller 6 is located in the pulverized coal injection chamber. The discharge pipe 3 is located on the lower side of the pulverized coal injection chamber. The diameters of the three crushing discs 5 gradually increase, and the diameter of the crushing disc 5 closest to the feeding hopper 2 is the smallest. A retaining ring 15 is provided between every two crushing chambers and between the crushing chamber and the pulverized coal injection chamber. A pulley is installed after one end of the central shaft 4 passes through the end face of the housing 1.

[0025] The coal can be crushed by the three crushing discs 5. The coal powder enters the pulverized coal injection chamber under the action of the rotating impeller 6 and is discharged through the discharge pipe 3.
