Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electric arc furnace feeding devices, and in particular to an electric arc furnace feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern steelmaking, electric arc furnaces have become one of the mainstream steelmaking equipment due to their high efficiency and flexibility. Electric arc furnaces require a feeding device for operation.
[0003] The existing application publication number CN216004139U discloses an automatic feeding device for zinc smelting electric furnace processing, including a base, a tube body rotatably connected to the top of the base, a rotatable auger installed inside the tube body, a feed pipe installed at the feed end of the tube body, and a discharge pipe installed at the discharge end of the tube body. Two connecting grooves are opened on both sides of the base, and connecting plates are engaged inside the connecting grooves. This utility model connects the connecting plates to the connecting grooves on the base, thereby fixing the support rod. The device can be moved by moving wheels. After moving to the point of use, pulling the connecting plates separates them from the base, allowing the base itself to provide support, making the device easy to move without requiring manual lifting by the user. This greatly reduces the difficulty of moving the device, improves the moving efficiency, and ensures the device is stably placed after being moved to the point of use.
[0004] However, in this scheme, when the screw feeder tilts, the hopper connected above also tilts. The tilting causes the slope of the inner wall of the hopper to become gentler, which is not conducive to the material falling down and thus affects the feeding of the electric arc furnace. In addition, the manual unloading of the moving wheels is prone to tipping over, which in turn affects the safety of personnel.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to develop a feeding device for electric arc furnaces. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment: an electric arc furnace feeding device, including a base plate 1, a handle 11 on the left side of the base plate 1, a screw feeder 3 on the top of the base plate 1, the feeding end of the screw feeder 3 being connected to a hopper 4, the lower part of the feeding end of the screw feeder 3 being hinged to the base plate 1, the lower part of the discharge end of the screw feeder 3 being provided between the screw feeder 3 and the base plate 1, the electric push rod 5 being fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and the electric push rod 5 being hinged to the screw feeder 3, a support box 2 being provided below the base plate 1, and a horizontally placed lead screw 2 being rotatably provided inside the support box 2. 1. The threads of the lead screw 21 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides. The two ends of the lead screw 21 are symmetrically provided with rod sleeves 22. The rod sleeves 22 at both ends are threadedly connected to the lead screw 21. The bottom of the rod sleeves 22 at both ends is hinged with a support rod 23. The lower part of the support rod 23 is provided with a lifting plate 24 that is hinged to the support rod 23. The bottom of the lifting plate 24 is connected with a wheel 26. The base plate 1 is provided with a motor 27 for driving the lead screw 21 to rotate. The inner side wall of the hopper 4 is hinged with a push plate 41. The side of the hopper 4 near the push plate 41 is connected with a push rod 43. The push rod 43 and the push plate 41 are in sliding contact.
[0022] The motor 27 rotates to control the lead screw 21 to rotate together, which in turn drives the sleeves 22 at both ends to move towards the middle position. When the sleeves 22 move, the support rod 23 pushes the lifting plate 24 downward, so that the wheel 26 contacts the ground, thus realizing the movement of the device.
[0023] Furthermore, the two support rods 23 are placed symmetrically on the left and right, and the rod sleeves 22 at both ends are located on the left and right sides of the two support rods 23. The lifting plate 24 is provided with vertically placed support legs 25 through both ends. The support legs 25 at both ends are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support box 2, and the support legs 25 at both ends are slidably connected to the lifting plate 24.
[0024] In the initial state, the outriggers 25 at both ends are in contact with the ground, and the wheels 26 are in the air, which improves the stability of the subsequent loading process. When it needs to be moved, simply control the lifting plate 24 to move down, the wheels 26 will contact the ground, and the outriggers 25 will be in the air, thereby moving the device. It can perform both handling and loading functions, making the operation more convenient.
[0025] Furthermore, a slide rail 42 is provided on the side of the push plate 41 near the push rod 43, and the push rod 43 is slidably connected to the slide rail 42. The bottom of the push plate 41 extends to the connection between the hopper 4 and the feed end of the screw feeder 3. By shaking the push rod 43 left and right, the push rod 43 drives the push plate 41 to shake, which facilitates the falling of materials inside the hopper 4.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the motor 27 rotates to control the lead screw 21 to rotate together, which in turn drives the sleeves 22 at both ends to move towards the middle position. When the sleeves 22 move, the support rod 23 pushes the lifting plate 24 downward, so that the wheel 26 contacts the ground, realizing the movement of the device. Then, the motor 27 is controlled to reverse, the lifting plate 24 drives the wheel 26 to move upward, the support leg 25 contacts the ground, and the wheel 26 is lifted into the air. The electric push rod 5 controls the elevation angle of the screw feeder 3 to feed material. During the feeding process, the push rod 43 is shaken left and right, and the push rod 43 drives the push plate 41 to shake, which facilitates the material inside the hopper 4 to fall.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
