Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a device for disassembling and assembling a blast furnace cooling water pump impeller. Background Technology
[0002] The blast furnace in the ironmaking plant is equipped with an independent water cooling system, which mainly consists of low-pressure pumps, medium-pressure pumps, high-pressure pumps, and circulating pumps. These pumps supply cooling water to the blast furnace. During the cooling water circulation process, additives are added to prevent scaling and blockage in the pipes. These additives contain corrosive components, which significantly corrode the pump impellers during circulation. Because the pump impeller and shaft have an interference fit, a large diameter, and a long shaft, disassembly requires damaging the impeller, which easily damages and deforms the shaft, resulting in low maintenance efficiency.
[0003] Currently, when overhauling and replacing water pump impellers, there are problems with disassembly and installation difficulties. The only way to remove the impeller is by destructive removal. During the disassembly process, the use of cutting and other methods can easily damage the impeller shaft, rendering it unusable. This greatly increases the difficulty of the operation, wastes the workers' time, and increases their labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a blast furnace cooling water pump impeller disassembly and assembly device, including a base 7, a positioning bracket 1 at one end of the base 7 and a support plate 8 at the other end; the positioning bracket 1 is provided with a groove for placing the wheel shaft 9 of the cooling water pump impeller 10;
[0030] The disassembly and assembly device also includes a guide rod 2, a hydraulic cylinder 3, a movable top frame 4, and an electric push rod 6 located between the positioning bracket 1 and the support plate 8;
[0031] The two ends of the two guide rods 2 are respectively fixed to the positioning bracket 1 and the support plate 8;
[0032] The movable top frame 4 is slidably mounted on the two guide rods 2 through guide rod mounting holes on both sides, and the movable top frame 4 can move back and forth along the guide rods 2; the fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly mounted on the movable top frame 4, and the piston rod faces the positioning bracket 1;
[0033] The electric push rod 6 is located between the movable top frame 4 and the support plate 8, with the front end of the push rod fixedly connected to the movable top frame 4 and the rear end fixedly installed on the support plate 8; the electric push rod 6 is used to drive the movable top frame 4 to move back and forth along the guide rod 2 by pushing the rod.
[0034] Furthermore, the positioning bracket 1 has an upward-facing U-shaped groove for placing the axle 9 of the cooling water pump impeller 10.
[0035] Furthermore, the movable top frame 4 is provided with an installation space for accommodating the hydraulic cylinder 3. The fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the installation space, and the piston rod faces the positioning bracket 1. A through hole is provided on the movable top frame 4 at the position corresponding to the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3, allowing the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3 to pass through.
[0036] Furthermore, the guide rod 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning pin mounting holes spaced apart. By installing positioning pins 5 in the positioning pin mounting holes, the position of the movable top frame 4 on the guide rod 2 can be limited.
[0037] Furthermore, the hydraulic cylinder 3 can be an HSG50-200 / 50 hydraulic cylinder, and the electric push rod 6 can be a SY-A04B electric push rod.
[0038] The blast furnace cooling water pump impeller disassembly and assembly device of this utility model is designed with a special positioning bracket 1 to address the problem of difficult placement during the replacement of the blast furnace cooling water pump impeller. The impeller 10 and the shaft 9 of the cooling water pump are transferred by a hoist on a crane, so that the impeller 10 is placed between the movable top frame 4 and the positioning bracket 1, and the shaft 9 is placed in the U-shaped groove of the positioning bracket 1 for operation. The U-shaped groove and the hoist work together to ensure that the impeller 10 and the shaft 9 will not roll during operation, making the maintenance of the impeller 10 more convenient.
[0039] When removing the impeller, first control the electric push rod 6 to move the movable top frame 4 backward, so that there is enough space between the positioning bracket 1 and the movable top frame 4. Then, after removing the cooling water pump impeller 10 and wheel shaft 9 from the centrifugal pump, use the hoist on the crane to lift and place them on the positioning bracket 1. After removing the bearing and locking nut on the impeller 10, control the electric push rod 6 to push the movable top frame 4 towards the wheel shaft 9. Then, control the hydraulic cylinder 3 to work and push the wheel shaft 9 out of the impeller 10. The removed impeller 10 and wheel shaft 9 are lifted out of the device by the hoist.
[0040] When installing the impeller, first control the electric push rod 6 to drive the movable top frame 4 to move backward, so that there is enough space between the positioning bracket 1 and the movable top frame 4 to place the new wheel shaft 9. Then, use the hoist on the crane to place the new impeller 10 and wheel shaft 9 between the positioning bracket 1 and the movable top frame 4 in sequence. After aligning the shaft with the center hole of the impeller, control the electric push rod 6 to push the movable top frame 4 forward, and control the hydraulic cylinder 3 to press the new wheel shaft 9 into the center hole of the impeller until the wheel shaft is installed in place. After the assembly is completed, the impeller and wheel shaft are lifted out of the device by the hoist.
[0041] The blast furnace cooling water pump impeller disassembly and assembly device described in this utility model enables safe and efficient impeller removal during disassembly, and similarly, safe and efficient impeller installation during installation. Using this blast furnace cooling water pump impeller disassembly and assembly device offers several advantages: first, it eliminates traditional hazardous operating methods, ensuring worker safety and reducing safety risks; second, it reduces the workload of maintenance personnel, significantly lowering labor intensity and ensuring the mental well-being of workers; and third, it minimizes equipment downtime, providing strong support for the smooth operation of the blast furnace. This device is applicable to the disassembly and assembly of impellers for various pump models and can be extended to similar impeller replacement applications.
[0042] The blast furnace cooling water pump impeller disassembly and assembly device described in this application was applied to the disassembly and assembly of cooling water pump impellers for three blast furnaces at the Xichang Steel and Vanadium Ironmaking Plant, achieving good labor and production efficiency.
[0043] (1) Labor efficiency: When using the old-to-new replacement method to repair water pump impellers, it takes 6 people 12 hours to repair each impeller. After the improvement, labor and time are saved in impeller disassembly and assembly, which only requires 4 people 8 hours. Calculated at a unit labor rate of 59.88 yuan, the labor cost savings for 14 water pumps repaired once every 2 years is as follows:
[0044] According to the Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group's profit calculation formula: maintenance profit = (cost required before maintenance - cost required after maintenance) × contribution coefficient - development cost, with the contribution coefficient taken as 0.9. Then, the annual labor cost saved after the improvement is: S labor = (6*12*14*0.5-4*8*14*0.5)*3*59.88*0.9-1000 = 26,100 yuan;
[0045] (2) Production benefits: Based on an iron output of ≥190t / h per furnace, the profit per ton of iron is 200 yuan. After the cooling water pumps of the three blast furnaces are overhauled using the new operating method, the annual time saved is (12-8)*14*0.5*3=84 hours. The production benefits can be calculated according to the following formula:
[0046] S production=Y1i*Ti*Ai*Gi*Ci-Bi
[0047] Among them: S - Production - Benefits from technological innovation, RMB 10,000; Y1i - Annual reduction in downtime after improvement, h; Ti - Coal powder output per unit downtime, t / h; Ai - Benefit per ton of iron, RMB 200 / ton; Gi - Technological contribution coefficient, 0.7; Ci - Effective operating rate 90%; Bi - R&D investment, RMB 1,000.
[0048] Finally, we can obtain S production = 84 * 190 * 0.02 * 0.7 * 0.9 - 0.1 = 2,009,000 yuan;
[0049] S = 2.61 + 200.9 = 203.51 million yuan.
[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
