TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steelmaking, and relates to a weighing hopper dynamic decoupling device based on diameter gradient disengagement. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the technical field of steelmaking, the weighing hopper, as the core component of the entire feeding system, its accuracy and stability play a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency and quality of steelmaking production. The precise weighing of the weighing hopper can ensure the accurate proportioning of steelmaking raw materials, which directly affects the stability of the steelmaking process and the quality of the final product. However, the traditional design of the weighing hopper has exposed a series of problems in the connection method and actual application, which not only affects the weighing accuracy of the weighing hopper, but also has a negative impact on the efficiency and cost of the entire steelmaking production.
[0003] The traditional design of the weighing hopper usually adopts a soft connection to connect with the discharge chute. Although this connection method achieves the connection function of the weighing hopper and the discharge chute to some extent, it exposes a series of problems in actual application. First of all, the failure of the soft connection becomes a key factor restricting the accuracy and stability of the weighing hopper. Since the soft connection is usually made of flexible materials such as rubber and canvas, these materials are easily affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, corrosion, etc. during long-term use, which leads to material aging, wear and tear, or improper connection, etc. Once the soft connection fails, a rigid connection will be formed between the weighing hopper and the discharge chute, and this unexpected rigid connection will introduce additional force and vibration, which will in turn cause deviation in the weighing result of the weighing hopper. This deviation will not only lead to inaccurate proportioning of steelmaking raw materials, but also may have a serious negative impact on the stability of the steelmaking process and the quality of the final product.
[0004] Secondly, the problem of material jamming and piling at the soft connection is also a major headache in the traditional design of the weighing hopper. Since the inner diameter of the soft connection is the same as that of the discharge chute, when the material passes through the soft connection into the discharge chute, it is easy to cause material jamming or piling at the soft connection due to factors such as changes in flow rate, differences in material properties, and elasticity of the soft connection itself. This not only causes poor flow of the material, affecting the continuity of the steelmaking production, but also increases the cost and labor demand of manual cleaning. More seriously, the long-term accumulation of material may further damage the soft connection, thereby shortening its service life and increasing the cost of replacement and maintenance.
[0005] In addition, the soft connection design of the traditional weighing hopper also has the hidden danger of dust raising. In the steelmaking production process, when the material passes through the soft connection into the discharging chute, if the soft connection produces gaps due to material blockage and material accumulation, or is damaged due to long-term material blockage and material accumulation, the changes in flow rate and pressure will cause the fine powder of the material to escape from the gaps, forming dust raising. These dust raising not only pollutes the production environment, affects the health of the operators and the quality of the working environment, but also can corrode and damage the steelmaking equipment, increasing the cost of equipment maintenance and replacement. At the same time, the dust raising problem can also interfere with the continuity and stability of the steelmaking production, further increasing the production cost and risk.
[0006] In summary, the soft connection design of the traditional weighing hopper has many deficiencies and problems to be solved in the field of steelmaking technology. These problems not only affect the weighing accuracy and stability of the weighing hopper, but also have adverse effects on the efficiency, cost and environment of the entire steelmaking production. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a new connection method of the weighing hopper and the discharging chute to solve the problems of inaccurate weighing accuracy, material blockage and dust pollution in the prior art.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , a dynamic decoupling device for a weighing hopper based on diameter gradient disengagement, mainly comprising a weighing hopper 1, a directly connected fixed material guide chute 2, a double-layer canvas sealing device 3 and a discharging chute 4, and the overall structure is as shown in Figure 1 .
[0033] 1. Specific structural composition:
[0034] Weighing hopper 1: as the core component of the steelmaking feeding system, used for accurately weighing the steelmaking raw materials to ensure accurate proportioning of the raw materials.
[0035] Directly connected fixed material guide chute 2: the upper end is tightly connected with the plug valve at the lower end of the weighing hopper 1 through a flange, the lower end is inserted into the horn-shaped flow guide port of the discharging chute 4, forming a stable plug-in structure, responsible for smoothly guiding the material in the weighing hopper 1 into the discharging chute 4.
[0036] Double-layer canvas sealing device 3: It is arranged at the connection between the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2 and the material discharging chute 4, adopts a double-layer canvas structure, has good sealing performance, and effectively prevents dust and material leakage.
[0037] Material discharging chute 4: The top end is provided with a horn-shaped flow guide port, and is in plug-in cooperation with the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2, and is responsible for receiving and conveying the material to the next process.
[0038] 2. Structural details and embodiments
[0039] Connection between the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2 and the weighing hopper 1:
[0040] The upper end of the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2 is connected with the plug-in valve at the lower end of the weighing hopper 1 through a flange, so as to ensure the firmness and sealing performance of the connection. The flange connection adopts standard bolt fastening, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.
[0041] Design of the horn-shaped flow guide port of the material discharging chute 4:
[0042] The top end of the material discharging chute 4 is provided with a horn-shaped flow guide port with a taper angle of 12° (or other angles within the range of 10°-15° according to actual needs), and the inner diameter thereof is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2, so as to form a certain fitting gap δ, which satisfies 10mm≤δ≤20mm. This design not only ensures that the material can smoothly pass through, but also avoids the material jamming and piling at the connection.
[0043] Installation and adjustment of the double-layer canvas sealing device 3:
[0044] The two ends of the double-layer canvas sealing device 3 are respectively matched and fixedly connected with the flanges of the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2 and the material discharging chute 4 through the self-provided flanges. The length L of the sealing device is designed to be 200mm (or other lengths within the range of 150mm≤L≤300mm according to actual needs), and is allowed to have an axial displacement of ±15mm (or other displacement amounts within the range of ±10mm-±20mm according to actual needs). This design not only ensures the sealing performance of the connection, but also can adapt to the slight changes under different working conditions, such as the slight vibration of the weighing hopper or thermal expansion and cold contraction.
[0045] Insertion depth of the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2:
[0046] The insertion depth h of the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2 into the material discharging chute 4 is designed to be 300mm (or other depths within the range of 200mm≤h≤500mm according to actual needs). The sufficient insertion depth ensures the smooth flow of the material at the connection, avoids the occurrence of material jamming and piling at the double-layer canvas sealing device, and at the same time enhances the stability of the connection.
[0047] Setting of the wear-resistant material layer:
[0048] In order to improve the durability and service life of the device, the inner walls of the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2 and the material discharge chute 4 are lined with a wear-resistant material layer, such as ceramic, alloy or high molecular wear-resistant material, etc. This design effectively reduces the wear of the material on the chute and prolongs the service life of the device.
[0049] 3. Working principle
[0050] In use, the weighing hopper 1 first accurately weighs the steelmaking raw materials, then opens the plug valve, and the materials are smoothly guided into the horn-shaped flow guide opening of the material discharge chute 4 through the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2. Since the directly connected fixed material guide chute 2 and the material discharge chute 4 adopt a plug-in type diameter gradient hard disconnection structure, and the connecting part is provided with a double-layer canvas sealing device 3, the material will not be blocked and stacked when passing through the connecting part, and the dust problem is also effectively inhibited. The good sealing performance of the double-layer canvas sealing device 3 ensures the cleanliness of the production environment and the health of the operators. The material is smoothly conveyed to the next process under the guidance of the material discharge chute 4, ensuring the continuity and stability of the steelmaking production.
[0051] Through the description of the above specific embodiments, the significant advantages and application prospects of the weighing hopper dynamic decoupling device based on diameter gradient disconnection in the field of steelmaking technology can be clearly seen. The device not only improves the weighing accuracy and production efficiency, but also effectively solves the problems of material blocking and stacking, dust pollution and the like, and provides a more reliable and efficient solution for steelmaking production.
[0052] Finally, it should be pointed out that the above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application and are not limiting. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and all should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
