Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of slag cleaning technology, specifically relating to a slag cleaning device for electric arc furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] Patent application number 202122053769.8 discloses a converter for steel production with a slag cleaning structure. A motor drives a rotating shaft, causing scrapers to perform cleaning. The scrapers are in close contact with the inner wall of the furnace, scraping away slag as they rotate. A water pump delivers cold water to nozzles via an outlet pipe, which sprays the cold water to cool the furnace interior. This cooling facilitates slag removal by the cleaning mechanism. The cooled water is then drained into a cooling tank through a drain pipe. The cooling pipes inside the cooling tank further cool the water, allowing it to be reused. This creates a good water circulation system and saves on cooling costs.
[0003] An electric arc furnace is an electric furnace that uses the high temperature generated by an electric arc on electrodes to melt ores and metals. It is used to smelt steel blocks into molten steel. After use, slag remains on the inner wall of the electric arc furnace. However, in the current technology, it is difficult to remove the firmly attached slag by simply cleaning it with a scraper. Moreover, after cleaning, the scraper cannot be removed from the electric arc furnace. When the electric arc furnace is used to smelt steel again, the scraper remaining in the furnace will hinder the insertion of the oxygen lance and affect the flow of molten steel, thereby reducing the efficiency of smelting molten steel.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The following are specific implementation cases and appendices. Figure 1-3 The present invention will be further described below, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0024] A slag cleaning device for an electric arc furnace 31, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the system includes: a frame 10, a lifting mechanism, a connecting seat 11, a rotating scraping mechanism, and an air blowing assembly; the lifting mechanism is mounted on the frame 10, and its telescopic end is connected to the connecting seat 11; the rotating scraping mechanism includes a geared motor 12, a rotating shaft 13, a connecting cylinder 14, two connecting rods 15, and two scrapers 16; the geared motor 12 is mounted on the connecting seat 11, and both ends of the rotating shaft 13 are connected to the output end of the geared motor 12 and the connecting cylinder 14, respectively; the two connecting rods 15 are respectively located on both sides of the connecting cylinder 14, and the two connecting rods 15 are connected to the two scrapers 16; the scraper 16 is a hollow cavity and is provided with an air outlet 17; the air blowing assembly is mounted on the frame 10, and the air blowing assembly is connected to the scraper 16.
[0025] With the above structure, the electric arc furnace 31 is located below the rotating scraping mechanism. The rotating scraping mechanism is controlled to move downward by the lifting mechanism, so that the scraper 16 enters the electric arc furnace 31. The reduction motor 12 runs to make the scraper 16 rotate, scraping off the slag on the inner wall of the electric arc furnace 31. Compressed air is delivered to the scraper 16 through the air blowing component and sprayed out through the air outlet 17 to form a high-speed airflow that impacts the slag surface, loosening the slag. The use of the scraper 16 in conjunction with the scraper can enhance the scraping effect. In addition, the lifting mechanism can also adjust the height of the scraper 16 to meet the cleaning needs of different depths of the inner wall of the furnace.
[0026] After cleaning is completed, the lifting mechanism controls the scraper 16 to move out of the electric arc furnace 31, thereby avoiding affecting the normal operation of the electric arc furnace 31 when it is used to smelt molten steel in the future.
[0027] Specifically, the frame 10 is also provided with a clearance groove to prevent interference between the motor, connecting seat 11 and other components and the frame 10 when the lifting mechanism controls the movement of the rotating scraping mechanism.
[0028] In an embodiment of this utility model, the lifting mechanism includes: a fixed seat 18, a support plate 19, and an electric push rod 20; the fixed seat 18 is fixed on the frame 10, the support plate 19 is disposed on one side of the fixed seat 18, and the electric push rod 20 is fixed on the support plate 19.
[0029] The electric push rod 20 is fixedly supported by the support plate 19. The electric push rod 20 extends and retracts, driving the connecting seat 11 and the rotating scraping mechanism installed on the connecting seat 11 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the scraper 16.
[0030] In an embodiment of this utility model, the air blowing assembly includes: a high-pressure air pump 21, a telescopic connecting pipe 22, and a three-way connecting pipe 23. The high-pressure air pump 21 is installed in the fixed base 18, and the output end of the high-pressure air pump 21 is connected to the telescopic connecting pipe 22. The three-way connecting pipe 23 is installed in the connecting cylinder 14 and the connecting rod 15. The three-way connecting pipe 23 has one inlet and two outlets. The inlet is connected to the telescopic connecting pipe 22, and the two outlets are respectively connected to two scrapers 16.
[0031] The high-pressure air pump 21 operates to output high-pressure airflow, which enters the two scrapers 16 through the telescopic connecting pipe 22 and the three-way connecting pipe 23 respectively, and is ejected through the air outlet 17 of the scraper 16 to loosen the slag so that the scraper 16 can scrape it off, thereby improving the slag cleaning effect.
[0032] The design of the telescopic connecting pipe 22 enables the electric push rod 20 to play a distance compensation role when controlling the scraper 16 to move up and down, thereby ensuring that the gas can flow smoothly into the three-way connecting pipe 23.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the high-pressure air pump 21 is a vortex air pump of model 4RB420 manufactured by Wuxi Gezhiling Electromechanical Equipment Co., Ltd.
[0034] In an embodiment of this utility model, it further includes: an electric arc furnace 31 moving device, which includes a base 24, a hydraulic cylinder 25 and a moving seat 26. The base 24 is disposed on one side of the frame 10, the hydraulic cylinder 25 is disposed on the base 24, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 25 is connected to the moving seat 26; the electric arc furnace 31 is fixed on the moving seat 26, and the electric arc furnace 31 is positioned opposite to the rotating scraping mechanism.
[0035] The hydraulic cylinder 25 drives the movable seat 26 to move, thereby moving the position of the electric arc furnace 31. When it is necessary to clean the slag of the electric arc furnace 31, the hydraulic cylinder 25 controls the electric arc furnace 31 to move below the scraper 16. When it is necessary to smelt steel in the electric arc furnace 31, the hydraulic cylinder 25 moves the electric arc furnace 31 out of the area of the scraper 16, thereby achieving the purpose of freely switching the position of the electric arc furnace 31.
[0036] In an embodiment of this utility model, a limiting post 27 and a position sensor 28 are provided on one side of the base 24.
[0037] The position of the movable seat 26 is monitored by the position sensor 28. When the hydraulic cylinder 25 controls the movable seat 26 to move and contact the position sensor 28, the position sensor 28 transmits the received signal to the controller, which then controls the hydraulic cylinder 25 to stop. The limit post 27 limits the position of the movable seat 26. If a signal transmission error occurs, the limit post 27 allows the operator to visually observe whether the position of the movable seat 26 is correct, thereby ensuring that the position of the electric arc furnace 31 is relative to the position of the scraper 16 and avoiding center offset.
[0038] Specifically, when installing the position of the limit post 27 and the position sensor 28, it is necessary to first measure whether the positions of the scraper 16 and the rotating shaft 13 correspond to the inner wall and center position of the electric arc furnace 31, respectively. After confirming that the positions are correct, the limit post 27 and the position sensor 28 can be installed.
[0039] In an embodiment of this utility model, the detachable connecting part 29 and the iron removal disc 30 are rotatably connected, and the detachable connecting part 29 is installed at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 14.
[0040] By installing the detachable connecting part 29 at the bottom of the connecting cylinder 14 through the fastener, the operator can freely choose whether to install the iron removal disc 30. When the iron removal disc 30 is installed, during the cleaning of the slag by the combination of scraper 16 and air blowing, the iron removal disc 30 adsorbs iron particles in the slag so as to recycle and reprocess the iron material.
[0041] Specifically, the iron removal pan 30 is equipped with an electromagnet, which generates a magnetic field to attract iron particles in the slag. After the cleaning operation is completed, the electric push rod 20 controls the scraper 16 to rise, which in turn moves the iron removal pan 30 upward until it is removed from the electric arc furnace 31, and the remaining slag can be discharged through the slag discharge port of the electric arc furnace 31.
[0042] Specifically, by providing a ball bearing between the detachable connecting part 29 and the iron removal disc 30, with the inner ring of the ball bearing installed on the detachable connecting part 29 and the outer ring installed on the iron removal disc 30, relative rotation is achieved using the ball bearing, so that when the connecting cylinder 14 drives the detachable connecting part 29 to rotate, the iron removal disc 30 does not rotate.
[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the iron removal disc 30 adopts the RCDB series dry electromagnetic separator manufactured by Linqu Hengjie Magnetoelectric Equipment Co., Ltd.
[0044] Implementation process: By positioning the electric arc furnace 31 below the rotating scraping mechanism, the lifting mechanism controls the rotating scraping mechanism to move downwards, allowing the scraper 16 to enter the electric arc furnace 31. The reduction motor 12 operates, causing the scraper 16 to rotate and scrape off the slag from the inner wall of the electric arc furnace 31. Compressed air is delivered to the scraper 16 through the air blowing assembly and ejected through the air outlet 17, forming a high-speed airflow that impacts the slag surface, loosening the slag. This, combined with the scraper 16, enhances the scraping effect. The lifting mechanism can also adjust the height of the scraper 16 to meet the cleaning needs of different depths of the furnace inner wall. After cleaning is completed, the lifting mechanism controls the scraper 16 to move out of the electric arc furnace 31, thus preventing any disruption to the normal operation of the electric arc furnace 31 during subsequent steel smelting.
