Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of steelmaking equipment, specifically relating to a bottom blowing gas supply device for a steelmaking converter. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional bottom-blown gas supply systems for steelmaking converters have the following problems: 1. Difficult installation and maintenance: Existing systems require cutting a hole with a diameter of approximately φ900mm in the converter shell to insert the gas supply pipe, resulting in reduced shell strength and difficulty in inspecting weld quality. Repairs require furnace shutdown, taking 3-4 days. 2. Safety hazards: The gas supply pipe and cooling water pipe coexist within the trunnion hole of the support ring. Long-term immersion can easily lead to pitting corrosion and leakage, potentially causing major safety accidents. 3. Impurity blockage and equipment damage: High-temperature impurities inside the furnace can easily fall into the gas supply port or filter screen, causing blockage or filter damage, requiring frequent cleaning and maintenance. 4. Insufficient gas supply pressure: Traditional pipeline design cannot effectively increase pressure, making it difficult for inert gas to penetrate the high-temperature molten pool, affecting the stirring effect. 5. Insufficient shutdown protection: When the air outlet is exposed, impurities may enter the gas supply components, damaging the equipment or causing a fire.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the present invention provides a bottom blowing gas supply device for a steelmaking converter, including a gas supply chamber 1, an inlet pipe 2 and an outlet 6, and an inner cavity 7. The gas supply chamber 1 is provided with a detachable filter device 3, which divides the inner cavity 7 into upper and lower regions. Multiple inlet pipes 2 are arranged in the lower region of the inner cavity.

[0028] The upper part of the air supply chamber 1 is provided with a receiving tray 4, which is located directly above the filter device 3. The air outlet 6 vertically penetrates the area above the receiving tray 4.

[0029] The bottom of the air supply chamber 1 is connected to a pressurization assembly, which includes a flared pressurization pipe 8 and an air intake pipe 9 driven by a compressor. The pressurization pipe 8 is connected to the air intake pipe 9.

[0030] A slidable baffle 54 is provided on the outside of the air outlet 6, and the baffle 54 is slidably connected to the receiving tray 4.

[0031] In the practical application of this embodiment, the filter device 3 includes a frame 103 and a filter element 104. The filter element 104 is disposed on the top of the filter device 3. The frame 103 is provided with a first groove. The frame 103 is horizontally inserted into the side wall of the air supply chamber 1 through the first groove. The edge of the frame 103 is provided with a high-temperature resistant sealing layer.

[0032] In the practical application of this embodiment, the surface of the receiving tray 4 is provided with a second groove, and the receiving tray 4 is horizontally inserted into the side wall of the air supply chamber 1 through the second groove. Anti-scalding handles 105 are provided at both ends of the receiving tray 4.

[0033] In the practical application of this embodiment, the pressurization pipe 8 is composed of multiple irregularly shaped flared pipes connected in series, and the diameter of the top opening of the pressurization pipe 8 is smaller than that of the bottom opening.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] In the treatment of high-temperature impurities, when smelting high-impurity molten iron in a steelmaking converter, slag falls into the groove of the receiving tray 4 through the vent 6. Workers clean the receiving tray and the filter device 3 by regularly pulling the anti-scalding handle 105 to avoid clogging the filter device 3.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] In a high-pressure gas supply scenario, the compressor is started to generate inert gas. The inert gas enters the delivery pipeline through the gas inlet pipe 9, and is then pressurized through the bell-mouth pressurization pipe 8 before being delivered to the furnace bottom. At this time, the gas pressure is increased to 0.8MPa, which can effectively penetrate the molten pool.

[0041] When the machine stops, the operator pushes the baffle 54 to slide along the receiving tray 4 to cover the air outlet. The receiving tray 4 and the filter device 3 collect the fallen impurities.

[0042] Example 4: Modular Maintenance

[0043] The filter device 3 is removed and cleaned by disassembling the frame 103, and the filter element 104 is replaced, which takes about 20 minutes.
