[0027] As a preferred embodiment, this invention employs corresponding measures in the transmission structure to ensure smooth movement and positional accuracy of the flamethrower body.

[0033] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The flame gun is positioned, and circulating water, oxygen, and fuel gas are supplied to it. Nitrogen is immediately supplied to the bottom blowing channel of the molten steel ladle. Simultaneously, the flame gun sprays flame, and the nozzle moves according to a predetermined program to clean the slag blocking the bottom blowing channel of the molten steel ladle at high temperature. During the high-temperature cleaning process, when the nitrogen supply reaches the required value, the supply of oxygen, fuel gas, and nitrogen is stopped, and the circulating water supply is temporarily stopped. The flame gun is then moved out of position.
[0034] The flamethrower moves to the right, then moves upward, until it reaches its final position. Repeating this process, the flamethrower moves downward and then to the left, returning to its initial position. This completes the cleaning of one ladle bottom blowing channel. The entire process can be fully automated.
[0035] The above embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present utility model, and not to limit the utility model. Any modifications and changes made to the present utility model within the spirit and scope of the claims should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
