Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the production and manufacturing technical field of the cast iron machine, especially relates to four vortex iron runner device for cast iron machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the cast iron production process, the molten iron flows out from the blast furnace or smelting furnace, and needs to be guided to the cast iron mold through the runner device to complete the cast iron operation, however, the traditional cast iron machine runner device has many problems, which seriously affects the efficiency and quality of the cast iron operation.

[0003] The traditional runner device usually adopts the way of installing trapezoidal plates directly on the transition chute, so that the molten iron directly flows down from the inclined edge of the trapezoidal plate, this design leads to a wide molten iron flow channel and slow flow rate, and the molten iron is easy to condense in the flow process, thereby gradually narrowing the flow channel, when the molten iron reaches the inclined runner, the available runner area becomes smaller, forming pressure, causing the molten iron to splash out of the flow channel, not only increasing the risk of explosion, but also causing a large amount of iron loss;

[0004] In addition, the molten iron flowing gently onto the cast iron mold is often mixed with slag, which easily affects the surface quality of the pig iron, at the same time, the frequent splashing of the molten iron also causes the roller and connecting rod on the chain belt to stick and damage, increasing the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment. SUMMARY

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a four vortex molten iron runner device for cast iron machine, comprising a bottom plate, one end of the bottom plate is provided with a connecting plate, both sides of the bottom plate are respectively provided with a first side plate, the periphery of the connecting plate is provided with a second side plate, the second side plate is connected with the first side plate through a connecting piece, the surface of the connecting plate is provided with a plurality of runners, a plurality of spiral flow channels are respectively arranged in the runners, a pair of first side plates are respectively provided with a refractory plate between the bottom plate, a flow-through channel is arranged between a pair of refractory plates, a flow guide plate strip is installed on the surface of the connecting plate, a plurality of shunt channels are arranged between the flow guide plate strips, a plurality of annular flow holes are arranged on the flow guide plate strip and communicated with a plurality of shunt channels, and the annular flow holes correspond to the runners one by one.

[0007] By adopting the technical scheme, the combination of the bottom plate, the connecting plate, the first side plate and the second side plate forms a stable device main body structure, which provides reliable physical support and refractory protection for molten iron conveying. The spiral flow channel design in the spout can cause the molten iron to produce a vortex effect and accelerate the flow rate of the molten iron, thereby realizing rapid and uniform molten iron conveying, reducing the condensation tendency of the molten iron during conveying, reducing the risk of the flow channel being narrowed due to condensation, maintaining a stable molten iron passage, avoiding the problem of molten iron spilling due to the reduction of the spout area, improving operation safety and reducing iron loss. At the same time, the setting of the refractory plate and the flow passage enhances the refractory heat insulation performance of the device, reduces the thermal shock damage of high-temperature molten iron to the device, and the cooperation of the annular flow hole on the guide plate strip and the shunt passage can realize uniform shunting of the molten iron, ensure that the molten iron is stably and uniformly distributed to each spout, and further improve the cast iron operation efficiency and the cast quality, and reduce the risk of affecting the surface quality of the castings due to the inclusion of the molten iron.

[0008] Optionally, the connecting piece includes a mounting seat mounted on the outer sidewall of a pair of the first side plates, and the second side plate is connected with the mounting seat through a fixing bolt.

[0009] By adopting the technical scheme, the combination of the mounting seat and the fixing bolt firmly connects the second side plate with the first side plate, which significantly improves the mechanical strength and stability of the device as a whole, ensures that the device structure is still stable in a harsh cast iron environment with high temperature and high pressure, and facilitates disassembly and installation, thereby facilitating maintenance, repair or replacement of parts of the device, effectively reducing equipment downtime, and improving production efficiency.
