[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a blast furnace top gas ignition gun, comprising a combustible gas inlet pipe 100, a sleeve 200, an inlet pipe 300, and a guide plate 400.

[0035] A combustible gas inlet pipe 100 is used to introduce and output combustible gas. The output end of the combustible gas inlet pipe 100 is provided with an outwardly flared portion 110. That is, one end of the combustible gas inlet pipe 100 is used to input combustible gas, and the other end is used to output combustible gas. The end outputting combustible gas is provided with the flared portion 110. The combustible gas can be coal gas or other types of combustible gas.

[0036] A sleeve 200 is fitted around the outer periphery of the combustible gas inlet pipe 100, forming an annular gas passage 210 with the sleeve 200 and the outer periphery of the combustible gas inlet pipe 100. The annular gas passage 210 is used to introduce combustion air. One end of the sleeve 200 corresponding to the flared portion 110 is provided with an external expansion head 220. The end of the external expansion head 220 opposite to the sleeve 200 is provided with a mixing cylinder 221. The external expansion head 220 is fitted around the outer periphery of the flared portion 110 and has a gap to allow the gas in the annular gas passage 210 to enter the mixing cylinder 221. In use, the gas can be ignited at the outlet of the mixing cylinder 221. The outer expansion head 220 is fitted around the outer periphery of the flared portion 110, and a conical air passage is formed between the outer expansion head 220 and the flared portion 110, communicating with the annular air passage 210. One end of the conical air passage communicates with the annular air passage 210, and the other end communicates with the central hole of the mixing cylinder 221, thereby allowing the gas from the annular air passage 210 to enter the mixing cylinder 221. The end of the annular air passage 210 away from the flared portion 110 is sealed to prevent gas leakage at that end.

[0037] The intake pipe 300 is connected to the sleeve 200 and communicates with the annular air passage 210, and is used to introduce combustion air into the annular air passage 210; the air can be compressed gas, thereby increasing the gas filling speed.

[0038] The guide vanes 400 are arranged around the flared portion 110 and the outer flared head 220 to guide the air to rotate into the mixing cylinder 221, that is, the guide vanes 400 will guide the air to move forward in a manner that rotates along the axis of the sleeve 200.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a blast furnace top gas igniter cleverly combines a combustible gas inlet pipe 100 and a sleeve 200 to form an annular gas channel 210. This creates a dual-channel structure with an internal circular combustible gas channel and an external annular combustion-supporting air channel. Air can be introduced into the annular gas channel 210 to prevent flame extinguishing due to oxygen scarcity in the furnace, ensuring continuous flame ignition at the igniter and allowing the top gas to be continuously and fully ignited. Furthermore, the design of the guide plate 400 allows air to rotate into the mixing cylinder 221, where it mixes thoroughly with the combustible gas before ignition, improving combustion efficiency and ensuring complete combustion of the top gas. This reduces the emission of harmful gases (such as carbon monoxide), meeting environmental protection requirements. The igniter's overall structure is compact, reducing its footprint on the furnace top and improving portability and installation flexibility, while lowering complexity and maintenance costs. When compressed air is introduced into the annular gas duct 210, the guide vane guides the combustion-supporting air to rotate at high speed into the mixing cylinder, where it is fully mixed with the combustible gas, thereby significantly improving combustion efficiency and producing a powerful flame. This powerful flame not only ensures that the blast furnace top gas is fully mixed and burns efficiently, but also effectively reduces the emission of toxic gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), ensuring the safety of blast furnace top maintenance work after blast furnace shutdown.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, a threaded connection section 120 is provided on the outer periphery of one end of the combustible gas inlet pipe 100 corresponding to the flared portion 110; the flared portion 110 is provided with a threaded sleeve 111 that is threadedly connected to the threaded connection section 120. The threaded connection ensures a secure installation of the flared portion 110. This allows for installation by first fitting the sleeve 200 onto the combustible gas inlet pipe 100 and then installing the flared portion 110, thus preventing the flared portion 110 from interfering with the installation of the sleeve 200 and the combustible gas inlet pipe 100.

[0041] Reference Figure 5 In a further embodiment of this utility model, the guide plate 400 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the flared portion 110, and the outer side of the guide plate 400 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer flared head 220. The guide plate 400 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the flared portion 110 and is in contact with the inner wall of the outer flared head 220. The guide plate 400 can be installed as a whole with the flared portion 110, and compared with being fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer flared head 220, installing it on the outer peripheral wall of the flared portion 110 makes the installation of the guide plate 400 more convenient. The guide plate 400 and the flared portion 110 can be fixedly connected by welding or fasteners.

[0042] Reference Figures 3 to 5 In a further embodiment of this utility model, a protruding threaded connecting shaft 130 is provided in the middle of the combustible gas inlet pipe 100. The diameter of the threaded connecting shaft 130 is larger than that of the combustible gas inlet pipe 100, thereby forming a side annular gas passage 210 after the sleeve 200 is installed. The end of the sleeve 200 is provided with a threaded hole 230 that is threadedly connected to the threaded connecting shaft 130. The threaded connection achieves a secure installation of the sleeve 200 and closure of the side annular gas passage 210, thereby enabling the sleeve 200 to be detachably connected and facilitating assembly.

[0043] Reference Figures 3 to 5 In a further embodiment of this utility model, an axial limiting platform 131 is connected to one end of the threaded connecting shaft 130 facing away from the flared portion 110. The diameter of the axial limiting platform 131 is larger than that of the threaded connecting shaft 130, so that the ends of the sleeve 200 can abut against each other. The limiting platform 131, which has a larger diameter than the threaded connecting shaft 130, provides stable limiting support for the sleeve 200.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a further embodiment of this utility model, the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 200 is provided with an outwardly protruding connecting pipe head 240, and the center of the connecting pipe head 240 is provided with a vent hole 241 communicating with the annular air passage 210. The air inlet pipe 300 is connected to the connecting pipe head 240. The connecting pipe head 240 facilitates the connection between the sleeve 200 and the external pipeline, thereby enabling the annular air passage 210 to be filled with compressed air.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a further embodiment of this utility model, a limiting clip 310 is provided at the end of the air intake pipe 300, and a locking member 500 is connected to the connecting pipe 240 to mate and fit the limiting clip 310 with the connecting pipe 240. The locking member 500 securely connects the air intake pipe 300 and the connecting pipe 240. This improves the connection stability between the air intake pipe 300 and the sleeve 200, and also reduces the loosening of components due to external forces through the locking effect of the locking member 500.

[0046] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4In a further embodiment of this utility model, the locking member 500 includes a connecting cylinder 510. One end of the connecting cylinder 510 is provided with a collar 520 that is movably sleeved on the air intake pipe 300. The diameter of the central hole of the collar 520 is smaller than the outer circumferential diameter of the limiting clamp 310. The connecting cylinder 510 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the connecting pipe head 240. Through the threaded connection between the connecting cylinder 510 and the connecting pipe head 240, and the collar 520 pressing against the limiting clamp 310, the air intake pipe 300 and the connecting pipe head 240 are tightly connected, ensuring airtightness. Installation and disassembly are simple; when the air intake pipe 300 and the connecting pipe head 240 are connected, neither needs to rotate. Only the connecting cylinder 510 needs to be screwed on, making the operation simpler and eliminating the need for pipe rotation to achieve the threaded connection. It is understood that, to reduce resistance, the diameter of the central hole of the collar 520 is larger than the outer circumferential diameter of the air intake pipe 300, with a clearance fit between them to reduce wear and resistance. Similarly, in order to reduce wear and resistance, the outer diameter of the limiting head 310 is smaller than the diameter of the center hole of the connecting cylinder 510, so that the inner wall of the center hole of the connecting cylinder 510 will not come into contact with the limiting head 310 and wear, thus avoiding the wear off of the threads of the center hole of the connecting cylinder 510.

[0047] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a further embodiment of this utility model, a sealing gasket 250 is sandwiched between the connector 240 and the end face of the air inlet pipe 300. The sealing effect of the sealing gasket 250 reduces air leakage when entering the annular air passage 210, thus improving the sealing performance of the equipment.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
