[0002] The refractory brick at the sprue is a core refractory material used in high-temperature industries such as iron and steel and non-ferrous metals to control the flow of molten steel. The sprue brick is embedded in the bottom brick of the steel ladle to form the outlet of molten steel. The upper opening is curved to reduce resistance, and the lower section is a straight section to stabilize the flow.

[0003] Common refractory bricks with sprue grooves guide the flow of molten steel through a central sprue groove. However, the overall channel may be a single channel or two symmetrically distributed channels. When multiple sprue groove channels are set, some molten steel tends to stagnate at the top when it flows into the sprue groove channel. At the same time, when assembling and fixing the refractory bricks with sprue grooves, gaps may develop over long-term use due to the single method of fixing the connection by embedding.

[0004] An innovative design was developed based on the existing reinforced silicon nitride refractory brick. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a reinforced silicon nitride refractory brick with a water inlet groove, comprising a refractory brick body 1, a liquid inlet groove 2 is provided at the center of the top surface of the refractory brick body 1, and a flow guide center plate 3 is provided at the center of the liquid inlet groove 2. A first rounded corner 4 is provided at the junction of the hole wall and the bottom surface of the liquid inlet groove 2. A water inlet through groove 5 is provided through the interior of the refractory brick body 1, and a threaded groove 6 is provided on the curved surface of the water inlet through groove 5. A second rounded corner 7 is provided at the junction of the top end of the water inlet through groove 5 and the bottom surface of the liquid inlet groove 2, and a third rounded corner 8 is provided at the junction of the bottom end of the water inlet through groove 5 and the bottom surface of the refractory brick body 1.

[0025] The refractory brick body 1 and the flow guiding center plate 3 are integrated into one structure. The top diameter of the flow guiding center plate 3 is smaller than the bottom diameter of the flow guiding center plate 3. The planar distance between the flow guiding center plate 3 and the diameter of the first rounded corner 4 is equal to the maximum diameter of the second rounded corner 7. The refractory brick body 1 is made of silicon nitride substrate. The molten steel entering the liquid inlet groove 2 can be guided by the structure of the flow guiding center plate 3 to prevent the molten steel from staying in the central area of ​​the liquid inlet groove 2.

[0026] The internal space of the liquid inlet groove 2 is connected to the internal space of the water outlet through groove 5, and the height of the liquid inlet groove 2 is greater than the height of the guide center plate 3. The molten steel inside the liquid inlet groove 2 can flow into the water outlet through groove 5. Furthermore, the second rounded corner 7 set between the liquid inlet groove 2 and the water outlet through groove 5 facilitates rapid flow into the working process and increases service life.

[0027] The water inlet channels 5 are distributed at equal angles on the refractory brick body 1, and the diameter of the water inlet channels 5 decreases from top to bottom. Furthermore, an anti-oxidation coating is provided on the surface of the water inlet channels 5. Based on the distribution of the water inlet channels 5 on the refractory brick body 1 and the structure of the water inlet channels 5, the accumulation of eddies and inclusions is reduced.

[0028] The internal space of the threaded groove 6 is connected to the internal space of the nozzle through groove 5. The cross-section of the threaded groove 6 is set with a "V" shape structure, and the surface of the threaded groove 6 is made of silon-bonded phase. According to the structure of the threaded groove 6, the molten steel flowing into the nozzle through groove 5 generates axial rotation flow through the threaded groove 6, reducing the local turbulence intensity.

[0029] The outer side of the refractory brick body 1 is provided with a combined square groove 9, and a support frame 10 is installed inside the combined square groove 9. The combined square groove 9 is symmetrically distributed on the refractory brick body 1, and the connection between the combined square groove 9 and the support frame 10 is embedded and fixed. The outer surface of the frame of the support frame 10 is flush with the outer surface of the refractory brick body 1. Based on the support frame 10 installed in the combined square groove 9, the refractory brick body 1 can be reinforced as a whole by using a clamping tool through the support frame 10 to maintain the stability after installation.

[0030] Working principle: According to Figures 1 to 6First, the refractory brick body 1 can be embedded in the bottom seat brick of the steel drum. Simultaneously, auxiliary clamping tools can be used to clamp and compress the support frame 10 within the combined square groove 9, improving the stability of the refractory brick body 1 after installation. When subsequent steel molten metal is to be introduced, it can be poured into the inlet groove 2. Based on the flow guide center plate 3 at the center of the inlet groove 2 and the first rounded corner 4 at the junction of the inlet groove 2's wall and bottom surface, it facilitates the rapid guidance of molten steel into the inlet through groove 5. Furthermore, the second rounded corner 7 guides the molten steel smoothly into the nozzle groove, reducing turbulence and eddies, preventing impurities from accumulating at the nozzle corners, thereby improving... The molten steel entering the through-flow groove 5 can generate axial rotational flow through the threaded groove 6, reducing the intensity of local turbulence. It is then discharged through the opening at the bottom of the through-flow groove 5. Furthermore, a third rounded corner 8 is provided at the junction of the bottom end of the through-flow groove 5 and the bottom surface of the refractory brick body 1. Sharp corners are prone to becoming concentration points of thermal and mechanical stress, which can easily cause cracks under high-temperature cycling. The rounded corners smoothly transition and reduce the peak value of local stress, significantly improving the resistance to thermal shock cracking. The above is the working process of the entire device. All contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
