[0030] The utility model proposes a converter downcomer pipe.

[0031] REFERENCE Figures 1 to 4A converter feeding pipe includes a quick-release device, an upper feeding pipe 7, and a lower feeding pipe. A first sleeve 3 of the quick-release device is fitted over the upper feeding pipe 7, and a second sleeve 4 of the quick-release device is welded to the lower feeding pipe. A seal is installed between the first sleeve 3 and the upper feeding pipe 7 to prevent dust leakage during the feeding process. The quick-release device for the converter feeding pipe includes a first union flange 1, a second union flange 2, a first sleeve 3, a second sleeve 4, and a quick-release bolt 5. The ends of the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4 are fixedly connected to the first union flange 1 and the second union flange 2, respectively. The other ends of the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4 are used to connect to the upper feeding pipe 7 and the lower feeding pipe. The edges of the first union flange 1 and the second union flange 2 open inwards to form U-shaped grooves. The quick-release bolt 5 passes through the U-shaped grooves of the first union flange 1 and the second union flange 2 to detachably connect them. The inner diameter of the first sleeve 3 is larger than the inner diameter of the second sleeve 4.

[0032] The upper discharge pipe 7 is used to connect to the collection hopper, and the lower discharge pipe is used to connect to the flue. A U-shaped groove is used, allowing for quick installation of the quick-release bolts 5 from the opening of the U-shaped groove, compared to the mounting holes in existing technology. The quick-release bolts 5 can be tightened and loosened accordingly, allowing for quick locking and unlocking of the two flanges. After the discharge pipes on both sides are disconnected at the quick-release device, the lower discharge pipe at one end of the transverse trolley can move with the trolley, while the upper discharge pipe 7 at one end of the collection hopper remains stationary.

[0033] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 The first union flange 1 and the second union flange 2 have multiple U-shaped grooves evenly arranged in the circumferential direction (in this embodiment, six U-shaped grooves are used as an example for specific explanation). In this embodiment, the length of the first sleeve 3 is 150mm~350mm. This length setting is to meet the requirement of a 100mm-300mm clearance between the upper feed pipe 7 and the lower feed pipe.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4 are welded to the first union flange 1 and the second union flange 2, respectively. The welded connection has the advantages of structural stability, simple installation, and good sealing performance. The first sleeve 3 and the second sleeve 4 are seamless steel pipes or rolled pipes.

[0035] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The sealing element includes a sealing ring 6 located between the first sleeve 3 and the upper feed pipe 7. The first sleeve 3 has an annular groove inside to accommodate the sealing ring 6, and the annular groove and the sealing ring are interference-fitted. The sealing ring 6 is a rubber O-ring or asbestos thread. Because the sealing ring 6 is installed in the annular groove, it will not shift when the first sleeve 3 moves relative to the upper feed pipe 7.

[0036] Further, the sealing member further comprises a rubber sealing sleeve (not shown in the figure) sleeved on one side end of the first sleeve 3 towards the upper downcomer 7, the inner side of the rubber sealing sleeve abuts against the outer side wall of the upper downcomer 7, the rubber sealing sleeve is provided with a slot, and the end of the first sleeve 3 is accommodated in the slot. The rubber sealing sleeve can further improve the sealing performance of the quick release device of the downcomer of the converter.

[0037] In the embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the inner diameter of the first sleeve 3 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the downcomer, so that the upper downcomer 7 can freely move in the first sleeve. Specifically, the gap between the inner side wall of the first sleeve 3 and the outer side wall of the upper downcomer 7 is 5mm-10mm. The gap is sealed by the sealing ring 6, which prevents dust from overflowing during normal production.

[0038] The working process of the downcomer of the converter is as follows: during normal production of the converter, the two flanges are in a locked state, the upper downcomer 7 is inserted into the first sleeve 3 to a depth of 100mm-300mm, and the gap between the downcomer and the sleeve is sealed by the sealing ring 6. After the raw materials for smelting are collected and released, the raw material flow enters the first sleeve 3 through the upper downcomer 7, then passes through the first flange 1 and the second flange 2, and finally enters the lower downcomer and smoothly enters the converter. When the flue needs to be transversely moved, the locking bolts of the first flange 1 and the second flange 2 are opened, and the two flanges can be smoothly separated, wherein the first flange 1 moves towards the upper downcomer 7 and is fixed on the upper downcomer 7, at this time, the clearance between the two flanges can reach 100-300mm, so as to realize the connection and disconnection of the upper and lower downcomers, and provide sufficient space for the transverse movement of the flue transverse movement vehicle.

[0039] The downcomer of the converter provided in the embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0040] 1. By installing the quick release device on the downcomer collecting pipe, when the refractory bricks are built or the dust removal flue needs to be partially replaced after the service life of the converter expires, the disassembly amount of the downcomer during the transverse movement of the flue can be reduced, and the efficiency of the flue transverse movement affected by the failure of the downcomer to be disconnected in time can be improved. By using the quick release device, the transverse movement of the converter flue can be advanced by 2-3 hours, and the recovery time of the flue is shortened by 2-3 hours.

[0041] 2. The downcomer of the converter can be installed with the quick release device, and the existing downcomer structure of the converter is slightly changed, so that the converter has the advantage of low modification cost.

[0042] 3. The downcomer of the converter has the advantages of simple structure and easy implementation.
