DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0024] The utility model provides a kind of ore-heating furnace water-cooled cable anti-separation clamp as shown in Figures 3-5 Including:

[0025] The copper pipe 1 is sleeved with a double-ear flange 2 at one end, and is provided with a rubber hose 10 at the other end, the rubber hose 10 is provided with a plurality of copper cables 11, and one end of the copper cable 11 is provided with a copper connector 5, one end of the copper connector 5 is inserted into the rubber hose 10, the one end of the copper connector 5 inserted into the rubber hose 10 is provided with a rectangular groove 7, the rectangular groove 7 is sleeved with an O-shaped sealing ring 8, and the O-shaped sealing ring 8 seals the insertion joint of the copper connector 5 and the rubber hose 10.

[0026] The groove clamp 6 is sleeved on the insertion joint of the copper connector 5 and the rubber hose 10, and is used for fixing the insertion joint of the copper connector 5 and the rubber hose 10.

[0027] The groove clamp 6 includes a first clamping piece 12 and a second clamping piece 13, the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 are sleeved on the insertion joint of the copper connector 5 and the rubber hose 10, the groove clamp 6 is changed into the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13, the traditional fastening mode is changed, in the installation, first, the installation positions of the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 are determined, and due to the fact that the two ends of the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 are designed to be matched with the shape of the groove of the copper connector 5, with the aid of a small jack, the two ends of the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 can be smoothly embedded into the two grooves of the copper connector 5, and the subsequent fastening operation is facilitated.

[0028] The two ends of the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 are connected with fixing ears 14, and the fixing ears 14 at the two ends of the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 are screw-fixed through a first inner hexagonal bolt 9.

[0029] The copper connector 5 is screw-connected with a copper nut 4 on the surface, and one side of the copper nut 4 is connected with the double-ear flange 2.

[0030] The first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 are connected with connecting ears 15 on the surfaces, the double-ear flange 2 and the connecting ears 15 are screw-fixed through a second inner hexagonal bolt 3, along with the tightening of the second inner hexagonal bolt 3, the distance between the double-ear flange 2 and the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 gradually decreases, a strong axial tension can be generated, and the connection between the copper connector 5 and the rubber hose 10 is more closely.

[0031] The water-cooled cable anti-loose clamp of the submerged arc furnace is provided with an O-shaped sealing ring 8 with an inner diameter of 75 mm and a width of 3.5 mm, which is sleeved on the rectangular groove 7 of the copper joint 5 before installation. When the one end of the copper joint 5 is inserted into the rubber hose 10, the O-shaped sealing ring 8 is extruded by the rectangular groove 7 of the copper joint 5 and the inner wall of the rubber hose 10, and is elastically deformed. The elastic deformation of the O-shaped sealing ring 8 makes it tightly fit the outer side of the copper joint 5 and the inner side of the rubber hose 10, and fills the gap between the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10, thereby forming a primary seal and preventing the leakage of the cooling liquid.

[0032] Then, the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 of the groove clamp 6 are fastened to the joint part of the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10 by the first inner hexagonal bolt 9 according to the installation size requirement. With the tightening of the first inner hexagonal bolt 9, the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 generate gradually increasing clamping force on the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10. With the further tightening of the first inner hexagonal bolt 9, the clamping force of the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 continues to increase, and the pressure on the O-shaped sealing ring 8 also increases. At this time, the O-shaped sealing ring 8 not only tightly fits the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10, but also further fills the possible small gap under the action of pressure, so that the sealing effect is significantly improved, forming a secondary seal. The double sealing structure greatly improves the sealing performance of the water-cooled cable joint, effectively avoids the problem of water leakage at the joint, and through the screwing of the first inner hexagonal bolt 9 to fix the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13, the loosening of the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10 under external force during jointing can be effectively prevented, the fastening effect of the groove clamp 6 is ensured, and the groove clamp 6 always tightly fixes the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10, maintaining a good connection state.

[0033] After the groove clamp 6 is installed in place, the 10 mm thick stainless steel double-ear flange 2 added outside the copper nut 4 on the copper pipe 1 is pulled tight between the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 through two second inner hexagonal bolts 3. With the tightening of the second inner hexagonal bolt 3, the distance between the double-ear flange 2 and the first clamping piece 12 and the second clamping piece 13 gradually decreases, generating a strong axial tension. This axial tension directly acts on the connection part of the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10, making the connection between the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10 more tight, effectively resisting the external force that causes the separation of the two due to factors such as electrode lifting. In the production process of the submerged arc furnace, the electrode is constantly lifted and lowered, and the water-cooled cable moves up and down accordingly, which will be subjected to a large tensile force and torsional force. This axial tension structure can disperse these external forces and avoid the separation of the copper joint 5 and the rubber hose 10.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application has been described in detail, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, the spirit and principles of the present application, made any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
