Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of converter technology, and in particular relates to a slag-blocking gate valve device for the sliding water outlet of a converter taphole. Background Technology
[0002] In converter steelmaking, molten steel from the bottom of the furnace needs to be discharged through the taphole. A slag-blocking gate valve device is required at the taphole for control. For example, patent CN202139256U discloses a slag-blocking gate valve mechanism for a converter taphole, which includes a fixed frame, a switching frame, a sliding frame, a fixed sliding plate brick with a central opening, a sliding sliding plate brick, an outer nozzle brick, an outer nozzle fixing frame, and an outer nozzle mounting frame. Although this device uses two perforated sliding plates to slide and offset, opening and closing the taphole to achieve slag-blocking and steel discharge, the slag-blocking gate valve device... Located at the bottom of the furnace, the sliding slide block is subjected to significant pressure from molten steel during operation. This pressure can easily cause deformation of the sliding slide block over time, creating gaps between it and the inner wall of the slag-blocking valve mechanism. This reduces the sealing performance of the sliding slide block. Furthermore, prolonged sliding can lead to wear on the bottom and top surfaces of the sliding slide block, resulting in gaps between the sliding slide block and the inner cavity of the slag-blocking valve mechanism. Molten steel can then enter the cavity of the slag-blocking valve mechanism through these gaps and flow out from the outlet, making it impossible to completely close the tapping port. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a slag-blocking gate valve device for a converter tapping outlet sliding nozzle. Through the cooperation of a novel core plate and a gate plate, the gate plate slides within the core plate to achieve opening and closing. At the same time, wear-resistant plates are arranged on the gate plate. Through the contact and friction between the wear-resistant plates and the upper plate, lower plate and core plate, the gate plate can be protected, avoiding wear and tear that could lead to poor sealing. By having the end groove and the material blocking part in contact, the molten steel can be prevented from stagnating, thus improving the performance.

[0010] Wear-resistant plates are fixed to the upper and lower surfaces of the gate plate by fasteners. The outer edge of the wear-resistant plate extends beyond the outer edge of the gate plate. The two sides of the wear-resistant plate are attached to the inner sides of the strip groove. A gap is formed between the two sides of the gate plate and the inner wall of the strip groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper and lower plates are provided with inspection ports in areas away from the feed pipe and discharge pipe. The specifications of the inspection ports are larger than those of the wear-resistant plates, and an inspection door is provided on the outside of the inspection ports.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the feed pipe is the same as the inner diameter of the end groove, and the inner diameter of the discharge pipe is smaller than the inner diameter of the end groove.

[0017] 1. This utility model achieves opening and closing by the cooperation of a novel core plate and a gate plate, with the gate plate sliding within the core plate. At the same time, wear-resistant plates are arranged on the gate plate. Through the contact and friction between the wear-resistant plates and the upper plate, lower plate and core plate, the gate plate can be protected, avoiding the problem of poor sealing caused by wear. By having the end groove and the material blocking part in contact, the problem of molten steel retention is avoided, thus improving the performance.
[0018] 2. The inner diameter of the discharge port designed in this utility model is smaller than the outer diameter of the blocking part. After it is in place, it can provide support, thereby improving the compressive strength of the gate and avoiding the problem of poor gate stability caused by molten steel pressure.
[0019] 3. The present invention facilitates the installation, removal, replacement and maintenance of wear-resistant plates by setting up inspection ports and inspection doors, thereby further improving the service life of the material blocking device.
