[0024] The present invention discloses a method for blowing tin fumes in a closed-loop fully automatic blowing system for top-blown furnaces, comprising the following steps:
[0025] S1. Set the corresponding production parameters on the control cabinet;
[0026] S2. The control cabinet controls the spray gun to move to the first position, and the system starts to execute the purging step: the purging unit is opened and purifies the inner cavity of the spray pipe and the inside of the top-blown furnace, in order to clean the debris in the spray pipe to ensure smooth dust transportation, and effectively remove dust and debris inside the top-blown furnace to ensure unobstructed flow inside the top-blown furnace and prevent the accumulation of ash and debris from having an adverse effect on the operation of the top-blown furnace.
[0027] S3. The control cabinet moves the spray gun to the second position, and the system begins to execute the automatic spraying procedure:
[0028] S3.1 The pressure relief section relieves pressure on the tin fume blowing section;
[0029] S3.2 The tin fume receiving section fills the spray can of the tin fume blowing section with tin fume particles. At the same time, the vulcanization section starts to vulcanize the tin fume particles in the tin fume receiving section to prevent the tin fume receiving section from being blocked. When the spray can is filled to the maximum set value, the weight is recorded as the "starting weight".
[0030] S3.3 The sulfurization section sulfurizes the tin fume particles in the injection tank, and at the same time starts the screw feeder to transport the sulfurized tin fume particles through the injection pipe and the spray gun to the top blow furnace for reduction smelting.
[0031] S3.4 When the weight of the injection can is lower than the empty can set value, the screw feeder is stopped. When the pressure of the injection can is lower than the lower limit value, the weight of the injection can at this time is recorded as "end weight". The system starts the filling circulation operation again from S3.2.
[0032] The control cabinet calculates the hourly blowing volume and the total amount of tin fume fed in each shift.
[0033] The formula for calculating the hourly injection volume is: Hourly injection volume = (starting weight - ending weight) / (total number of pulses ÷ resolution), where the total number of pulses is the number of revolutions of the rotary feeder per hour, and the resolution is the frequency of the rotary feeder.
[0034] The frequency of the rotary feeder = (set injection speed / current feeder rotation distance in one revolution) / 60
[0035] Among them, the amount of rotation of the rotary feeder in one revolution is equal to the weight reduction of the injection tank divided by the number of revolutions per minute of the rotary feeder;
[0036] The total amount of tin fume fed per shift = the difference between the "starting weight" and the "ending weight" of the tin fume blowing section for each run of the rotary feeder multiplied by the number of times the rotary feeder runs.
[0037] Furthermore, in S1, based on the actual situation and combined with the on-site data, the corresponding pressure regulating valve is adjusted to the required pressure value. First, the values of the spray volume, the full weight of the spray tank, the empty weight of the spray tank, the high limit pressure of the compressed air purge pipe, and the exhaust flow regulating valve are set. The system control mode is then adjusted to automatic mode, and the system enters the one-button start state according to the operation of the spray gun.
[0038] In S2, the control cabinet monitors the spray gun's operation in real time and issues system purging and spraying commands. When the system detects that the spray gun has moved to the upper limit switch, it begins to execute the purging command.
[0039] The system automatically opens the pipeline purging valve, and the jet flow regulating valve automatically opens to 65% to purge the jet pipeline. The compressed air passes through the constant pressure orifice plate, and its delivery volume is maintained within a constant range before entering the jet pipeline and the top-blown furnace. The pressure detector detects the pressure in the compressed air purging pipe and determines whether the purging is successful based on the pipeline pressure detection value. If the purging is unsuccessful, it is determined that the pipeline is blocked and manual cleaning is performed. If the purging is successful, it is determined whether the spray gun position has reached the lower limit switch.
[0040] In S3, when the spray gun descends to the lower limit switch, the spray flow regulating valve automatically opens to 100% and automatically starts the spray circulation system, first depressurizing the spray tank:
[0041] S3.1, The pressure relief section is activated to relieve pressure:
[0042] The exhaust isolation valve, exhaust ball valve, pressure balance valve, and exhaust flow regulating valve automatically open to 50% to release pressure inside the injection tank.
[0043] S3.2 The tin fumes collected in the tin fume chamber enter the blowing can:
[0044] The control cabinet automatically determines whether the pressure of the injection tank is less than 30 kPa to confirm whether the injection tank has been depressurized. If so, it opens the inlet dome valve and continues to determine whether the weight of the injection tank is lower than the empty tank set value. If so, it opens the outlet dome valve and the silo vulcanization valve, and simultaneously starts the loading timer T1. The tin fumes in the tin fume bin enter the injection tank by gravity. Then, the control cabinet determines whether the weight of the injection tank has reached the maximum set value or whether the tank high material level detection switch has been triggered. If one of the above conditions is activated, the outlet dome valve is closed, and timer T2 is started. When the timer T2 expires, the inlet dome valve is closed, and timer T3 starts counting. When the timer T3 expires, the exhaust ball valve is closed, and after a 1-second delay, the weight at this time is recorded as the "starting weight". The exhaust isolation valve is then closed, and timer T4 starts counting, and the system enters the vulcanization operation.
[0045] S3.3, The vulcanization unit is activated to vulcanize the tin fume particles in the injection can:
[0046] When timer T4 expires, the vulcanization valve of the blow molding can is opened to vulcanize the tin fume inside the blow molding can. The conveying valve and the pressurizing valve are opened to pressurize the blow molding can, and timer T5 starts counting down. When timer T5 expires, it is determined whether the pressure of the blow molding can is greater than the pipeline pressure of the compressed air purging pipe. If so, the outlet valve of the blow molding can is opened, the pressurizing valve is closed, and timer T6 starts counting down. When timer T6 expires, the screw feeder is started to transport the vulcanized tin fume particles in the blow molding can through the blow molding pipe and the blow gun to the top blow furnace for reduction smelting.
[0047] When the dust particles in the injection tank are fed out slowly, the vibrator is activated to vibrate the inner wall of the tank, so that the dust particles attached to the inner wall of the tank can be smoothly fed into the top blower.
[0048] When the pressure of the compressed air purging pipe exceeds the set value, it is determined to be a pipe blockage. The system will automatically stop and trigger the alarm device to remind the operator to clean the pipe.
[0049] S3.4 When the weight of the blown can is lower than the empty can set value, the screw feeder is stopped, timer T7 starts counting, and when the timer T7 expires, the conveying valve and the vulcanizing valve of the blown can are closed, and timer T8 is started at the same time.
[0050] When the T8 timer expires, open the exhaust isolation valve and exhaust ball valve to release pressure;
[0051] When the pressure of the injection tank is lower than the minimum limit, record the weight at this time as the "end weight", and the system enters the packing circulation operation.
[0052] This invention's automatic blowing system, through the installation of a constant-pressure orifice plate, ensures that the blowing air remains within a constant range, meaning the compressed air blown into the blowing pipe is constant. The purpose is that the required compressed air volume is determined by the blowing volume, specifying the appropriate airflow to handle a given amount of fumes. Constant compressed air volume prevents fluctuations, as excessive volume not only affects furnace stirring but also carries away some fumes, while insufficient volume causes fumes to accumulate in the blowing pipe, leading to blockages. Furthermore, the system automatically executes blowing and purging commands based on the nozzle position, ensuring the correspondence between nozzle position and blowing program execution, thus improving the smelting effect of tin fumes in the top-blown furnace. This method also calculates the amount of tin fumes blown, facilitating statistical analysis of material batching to achieve optimal smelting results. Additionally, a pressurization pipe is installed to pressurize the blowing tank, thereby ensuring all tin fumes are fed into the top-blown furnace. Attached Figure Description

[0085] S3.4 When the weight of the injection tank 11 is lower than the empty tank set value, the screw feeder 17 is stopped. When the pressure of the injection tank 11 is lower than the lower limit value, the weight of the injection tank 11 at this time is recorded as the "end weight". The system starts the filling circulation operation again from S3.2.
[0086] The control cabinet calculates the hourly blowing volume and the total amount of tin fume fed in each shift.
[0087] The formula for calculating the hourly injection volume is: Hourly injection volume = Starting weight - Ending weight / (Total number of pulses ÷ Resolution), where the total number of pulses is the number of revolutions of the rotary feeder per hour, and the resolution is the frequency of the rotary feeder.
[0088] The frequency of the rotary feeder = set blowing speed / amount of rotation of the feeder in one revolution / 60
[0089] The amount of rotation of the rotary feeder in one revolution is equal to the weight reduction of the blow tank 11 divided by the number of revolutions per minute of the rotary feeder; the purpose of calculating the frequency is to output it to the rotary feeder so that it can operate at this frequency to ensure the smelting process's demand for tin fume.
[0090] The total amount of tin fume fed per shift = the difference between the "starting weight" and the "ending weight" of the tin fume blowing section 2 for each run of the rotary feeder multiplied by the number of times the rotary feeder runs.
[0091] In step S1 above, based on the actual situation and combined with the on-site data, the corresponding pressure regulating valve is adjusted to the required pressure value. First, the values of the spray volume, the full weight of the spray tank 11, the empty weight of the spray tank 11, the high limit pressure of the compressed air purge pipe 49, and the exhaust flow regulating valve 28 are set. The control mode of the system is then adjusted to automatic mode, and the system enters the one-button start state according to the operation of the spray gun 35.
[0092] In S2, the control cabinet monitors the operation of the spray gun 35 in real time and issues system purging and spraying commands. When the system detects that the spray gun 35 has moved to the upper limit switch 36, it starts to execute the purging command:
[0093] The system automatically opens the pipeline purging valve 23, and the jet flow regulating valve 24 automatically opens to 65% to purge the jet pipeline 45. The compressed air, after passing through the constant pressure orifice plate 20, maintains its delivery rate within a constant range and enters the jet pipeline 45 and the top-blown furnace 38. The pressure detector 25 detects the pressure in the compressed air purging pipe 49 and determines whether the purging is successful based on the pipeline pressure detection value. If the purging is unsuccessful, it is determined that the pipeline is blocked and manual cleaning is performed. If the purging is successful, it is determined whether the position of the spray gun 35 has reached the lower limit switch 37.
[0094] In S3, when the spray gun 35 descends to the lower limit switch 37, the spray flow regulating valve 24 automatically opens to 100% and automatically starts the spray circulation system, first depressurizing the spray tank:
[0095] S3.1, Pressure relief section 3 is activated to relieve pressure:
[0096] The exhaust isolation valve 26, exhaust ball valve 29, pressure balance valve 27, and exhaust flow regulating valve 28 are automatically opened to 50% to release the pressure inside the spray tank 11;
[0097] S3.2, The tin fume collected in the tin fume bin 7 enters the blow-off can 11:
[0098] The control cabinet automatically determines whether the pressure of the injection tank 11 is less than 30 kPa to determine whether the injection tank 11 has been depressurized. If so, the inlet dome valve 10 is opened, and the weight of the injection tank 11 is determined to be lower than the empty tank set value. If so, the outlet dome valve 9 and the silo vulcanization valve 30 are opened, and the loading timer T1 is started at the same time. The tin fume in the tin fume bin 7 enters the injection tank 11 by gravity. In addition, the air blown out by the fume bin vulcanization ring (8) blows the fume particles in the tin fume bin 7 to make them easier to discharge and prevent blockage. After that, the control cabinet determines whether the weight of the injection tank 11 has reached the maximum set value or whether the tank high material level detection switch 13 has been triggered. If one of the above conditions is activated, the outlet dome valve 9 is closed, and the timer T2 is started at the same time. When the timer T2 expires, the inlet dome valve 10 is closed, and the timer T3 starts counting. When the timer T3 expires, the exhaust ball valve 29 is closed, and the weight at this time is recorded as the "starting weight" after a delay of 1 second. The exhaust isolation valve 26 is closed, and the timer T4 starts counting. The system enters the vulcanization operation.
[0099] S3.3, The vulcanization section is activated to vulcanize the tin fume particles in the injection tank 11:
[0100] When timer T4 expires, the vulcanization valve 19 of the blow-through can is opened. The air blown out through the vulcanization pipe 15 of the blow-through can loosens the tin fume particles in the blow-through can 11, making it easier to discharge and preventing blockage. The conveying valve 12 and the pressure valve 54 are opened to pressurize the blow-through can 11, and timer T5 starts counting. When timer T5 expires, it is determined whether the pressure of the blow-through can 11 is greater than the pipeline pressure of the compressed air purging pipe 49. If so, the outlet valve 18 of the blow-through can is opened, the pressure valve 54 is closed, and timer T6 starts counting. When timer T6 expires, the screw feeder 17 is started to transport the vulcanized tin fume particles in the blow-through can 11 through the blow-through pipe 45 and the spray gun section 6 to the top-blown furnace for reduction smelting.
[0101] When the dust particles in the spray tank 11 are fed out slowly, the vibrator 16 is activated to vibrate the inner wall of the tank, so that the dust particles attached to the inner wall of the tank can be smoothly fed into the top blower.
[0102] When the pressure of the compressed air purge pipe 49 is higher than the set value, it is determined that the pipe is blocked. The system will automatically stop and trigger the alarm device to remind the operator to clean the pipe.
[0103] S3.4 When the weight of the blown can 11 is lower than the empty can set value, the screw feeder 17 is stopped, the timer T7 starts counting, and when the timer T7 expires, the conveying valve 12 and the blown can vulcanizing valve 19 are closed, and the timer T8 is started at the same time.
[0104] When the T8 timer expires, open the exhaust isolation valve 26 and the exhaust ball valve 29 to release pressure;
[0105] When the pressure in the injection tank 11 is lower than the minimum limit, the weight at this time is recorded as the "end weight", and the system enters the packing circulation operation.
[0106] The control cabinet of this utility model utilizes a PLC control system to collect and set initial data and execute automatic control operations. When the spray gun reaches the upper limit, a purging operation is initiated to purge the spray pipe. When the spray gun reaches the lower limit, a spraying operation is initiated to feed tin fumes into the top-blown furnace. When the weight of tin fumes in the spray can is lower than the set weight of the empty can, the loading operation begins, and a depressurization operation is performed simultaneously. During the loading period, the can vulcanization and the spraying operation into the top-blown furnace are stopped. After loading is completed, the tin fumes in the feeding can are vulcanized through the vulcanization section, and tin fumes particles are sprayed into the top-blown furnace for reduction melting.
[0107] This utility model system automatically starts the blowing system according to the crude tin smelting situation in the top-blown furnace; during the start-up process, each execution system executes according to the set conditions, and the whole process realizes one-click automatic control, which greatly reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency, highlighting the process control highlights in the global crude tin smelting industry.
