Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a five-hole oxygen lance nozzle for a converter, belonging to the field of converter steelmaking technology in the metallurgical industry. Background Technology
[0002] Converter steelmaking is a common steel production method, in which oxygen lances are widely used for oxygen injection. The design of the oxygen lance nozzle is crucial to the steelmaking process, and its structural characteristics directly affect the smelting effect and blowing time, thus impacting the quality and yield of the steel.
[0003] The effect of the oxygen lance on the blowing process is achieved through the interaction between the oxygen jet stream and the molten pool. This effect primarily depends on the velocity and distribution of the jet upon reaching the molten pool surface. Therefore, optimizing the various process parameters and structural design of the oxygen lance nozzle is crucial. The nozzle structure is designed based on the required oxygen velocity and flow direction. With a constant oxygen mains pressure, parameters such as the nozzle's throat diameter, outlet diameter, and expansion section determine the oxygen velocity and direction at the nozzle outlet. As the number of furnaces using the nozzle increases, the nozzle orifice diameter gradually increases due to oxygen jet scouring and molten pool erosion, resulting in an enlarged orifice. This causes the oxygen jet velocity and direction at the nozzle outlet to deviate from the initial design, adversely affecting converter smelting, such as prolonged oxygen blowing time and difficulty in controlling slag formation.
[0004] In summary, this patent designs a novel five-hole oxygen lance nozzle. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a five-hole oxygen lance nozzle for a converter, which can increase the oxygen enrichment capacity of the steel-slag interface, promote slag formation, reduce smelting time, improve oxygen lance life, and solve the problems existing in the background technology.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:
[0007] A converter five-hole oxygen lance nozzle includes a nozzle body, an outer pipe, a middle pipe, an oxygen pipe, and a sealing ring. The outer pipe, middle pipe, and oxygen pipe are arranged concentrically, and the outer walls of the middle pipe and oxygen pipe are provided with external threads that match the internal threads on the inner wall of the nozzle body. The nozzle body consists of four side holes and a central nozzle. The four side holes are distributed on the circumference in a radial pattern, and the included angle between two adjacent side holes is 90°. The central nozzle is located at the center of the four side holes.
[0008] The four side holes and one central nozzle of the nozzle body all adopt a Laval structure, which includes a converging section, a throat section, an expanding section and an outlet straight section connected in sequence. Its inner diameter gradually decreases from the converging section to the outlet straight section and then gradually increases.
[0009] The ratio between the diameter d of the four side holes and the diameter D of the nozzle body should be greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than or equal to 0.5.
[0010] The arrangement of the four side holes and the center injection hole forms a retracted circular injection hole area, and the angle of the retracted circular injection hole area should be greater than or equal to 20° and less than or equal to 40°.
[0011] The injection hole depths of the four side holes and the center injection hole are h1 and h2 respectively, h1 is greater than or equal to 0.8h2 and less than or equal to 1.2h2.
[0012] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0013] (1) The present application optimizes the expansion angle by reasonably designing the oxygen injection hole layout, so that the newly designed oxygen lance has a larger oxygen flow, which can satisfy the full coverage of the top blowing oxygen on the molten iron liquid surface during the top and bottom combined blowing process of the converter, and can make the main flow of the molten iron in the converter consist of horizontal rotational flow and vertical circulating flow, thereby accelerating the reaction.
[0014] (2) The center injection hole of the oxygen lance nozzle can inhibit the generation of negative pressure area directly below the oxygen lance, reduce the "eating nose" phenomenon, and increase the oxygen enrichment capacity of the steel slag interface by matching the appropriate lance position, thereby promoting slagging from another aspect.
[0015] (3) The oxygen supply capacity of the five-hole oxygen lance of the present application is increased from 25380Nm3 / h to 29000Nm3 / h, which can shorten the blowing time by about 1.5min, increase the annual production by 150,000 tons, and the annual benefit is 75 million yuan. At the same time, the oxygen lance can significantly reduce the slag sticking, reduce the frequency of replacing the oxygen lance, and improve the service life of the oxygen lance.
