[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3The principles and features of this utility model are described below. The examples given are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. The utility model is described more specifically in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a pressure relief device for a submerged arc furnace, including a pressure relief cover 1, an exhaust cover 3, and a rope 7;
[0028] The pressure relief cover 1 is filled with heat-resistant and refractory material. The outer edge of the pressure relief cover 1 near the furnace chamber of the electric arc furnace is set with an inclined surface. The outer wall of the pressure relief cover 1 fits with the inner wall of the furnace chamber of the electric arc furnace. The pressure relief cover 1 is provided with a pressure relief hole 2, which is in communication with the furnace chamber of the electric arc furnace.
[0029] The exhaust cover 3 is connected to the pressure relief hole 2. The exhaust cover 3 has multiple exhaust holes 4. A floating block 5 is movably installed inside the exhaust cover 3. The floating block 5 is connected to the pressure relief cover 1 via a chain 6. The chain 6 is used to limit the position of the floating block 5, ensuring that part of the floating block 5 is always confined within the pressure relief hole 2 of the exhaust cover 3. The floating block 5 is made of a material with counterweight function and is filled with heat-resistant and refractory material. When the pressure inside the furnace is low, the floating block 5 is installed within the pressure relief hole 2 under the tension of the chain 6. This achieves the sealing of the pressure relief hole 2, allowing the pressure relief cover 1 to completely seal the electric arc furnace. When the pressure inside the furnace increases, the floating block 5 moves away from the furnace under the action of air pressure. When one end of the floating block 5 inside the furnace moves into the exhaust cover 3, the exhaust hole 4 on the exhaust cover 3 discharges the gas inside the furnace, thereby reducing the pressure inside the furnace. By setting an appropriate weight for the floating block 5, the furnace is kept in use for daily use while avoiding the phenomenon of excessive pressure inside the furnace causing an explosion when the pressure relief cover 1 is opened.
[0030] Furthermore, the floating block 5 is marked with pressure scales according to the counterweight, and the pressure inside the furnace is displayed by the degree of displacement of the floating block 5;
[0031] The rope 7 is connected to the pressure relief cover 1. The rope 7 passes through the fixed pulley 8 and is connected to the counterweight 9. The side of the counterweight 9 away from the fixed pulley 8 is connected to the tension device 10. The sensor of the tension device 10 is connected to the control panel and the tension display device.
[0032] During pressure relief, the counterweight 9 is pulled by the pulling device 10, which in turn drives the rope 7, which in turn pulls the pressure relief cover 1 to relieve pressure. The pulling force of the pulling device 10 can be adjusted according to the pressure difference displayed by the floating block 5. During restoration, the counterweight 9 impedes the pressure relief cover 1 to prevent the pressure relief cover 1 from falling back too quickly.
[0033] The working principle is as follows:
[0034] As the gas pressure inside the furnace rises, the weight of the floating block 5 gradually becomes less than the pressure exerted by the gas inside the furnace on the floating block 5. Under the influence of this pressure difference, the floating block 5 moves away from the furnace. During its movement, the pressure inside the furnace can be monitored by the markings on the floating block 5. When the floating block 5 moves to a point where it can no longer completely cover the exhaust port 4 of the exhaust cover 3, the gas inside the furnace escapes through the exhaust port 4. The higher the gas pressure inside the furnace, the larger the diameter of the exhaust port 4, and the greater the escape rate of the gas inside the furnace. The faster the speed, the more the gas dissipation speed can be adjusted according to the gas pressure in the furnace, thereby reducing the pressure in the furnace. Under the premise of meeting the daily use of the electric arc furnace, it avoids the phenomenon of excessive pressure in the furnace causing an explosion when the pressure relief cover 1 is opened. When depressurizing, the pulling force of the pulling device 10 is adjusted according to the pressure in the furnace, and the pressure relief cover 1 is pulled by the rope 7 to achieve depressurization. When restoring, the counterweight 9 blocks the pressure relief cover 1 to prevent the pressure relief cover 1 from falling back too fast.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
