Detailed Implementation
[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-3. This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0020] In this technical solution, a converter movable furnace door includes a track 1 and a furnace door 2. The track 1 is installed on the external ground. The lower wall of the furnace door 2 is provided with a track groove 3. The track 1 is inserted into the track groove 3. A cleaning mechanism 4 is installed on the side wall of the furnace door 2. The cleaning mechanism 4 is sleeved on the outside of the track 1.
[0021] The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a scraping ring 41, an elastic telescopic rod 42, and a heating sleeve 43. One end of the elastic telescopic rod 42 is inserted into the side wall of the furnace door 2, and the other end of the elastic telescopic rod 42 is equipped with a scraping ring 41. The scraping ring 41 is sleeved on the outside of the track 1 and can fit against the outer side wall of the track 1. The heating sleeve 43 is installed on the side wall of the scraping ring 41 and can heat the track 1.
[0022] In this technical solution, due to the setting of its scraper ring 41, the steel slag and other impurities on the track 1 can be cleaned in advance when the furnace door 2 is closed, so that there are no impurities on the track 1, ensuring that the furnace door 2 can be closed normally and that the furnace door 2 moves smoothly.
[0023] The heating sleeve 43 can heat the track 1 in advance, loosening the steel slag on top of it, making it easier for the scraper ring 41 to scrape it off, thus improving the cleaning effect of the scraper ring 41.
[0024] In some technical solutions, the heating sleeve 43 includes a cylinder 431, a placement groove 432, an electric heating wire 433, and a heat-conducting plate 434. The cylinder 431 is sleeved on the outside of the track 1. The inner cavity of the cylinder 431 is provided with a placement groove 432. The heat-conducting plate 434 is placed in the placement groove 432. The heat-conducting plate 434 penetrates the side wall of the cylinder 431 and is inserted into the scraper ring 41. The electric heating wire 433 is wound and installed on the outside of the heat-conducting plate 434. The electric heating wire 433 is electrically connected to an external power source.
[0025] In this technical solution, during use, the electric heating wire 433 heats the heat-conducting plate 434, and the heat-conducting plate 434 conducts heat to the track 1 and the scraper ring 41, so that the steel slag on the track 1 is loosened and melted, making it easier to clean.
[0026] In some technical solutions, there are two furnace doors 2. The side walls of the two furnace doors 2 are provided with clearance grooves 5. Observation windows 6 are installed in the clearance grooves 5. The two observation windows 6 can be spliced together.
[0027] In this technical solution, the observation window 6 serves to facilitate staff to observe the conditions inside the converter while performing operations such as slag making, oxygen blowing, and temperature sampling.
[0028] In some technical solutions, the elastic telescopic rod 42 includes a main rod body 421, a secondary rod body 422, a spring 423, and a dustproof rubber ring 424. The main rod body 421 is inserted and installed on the side wall of the furnace door 2. The secondary rod body 422 is inserted and installed on the side wall of the main rod body 421. The spring 423 is installed at one end of the secondary rod body 422 located inside the main rod body 421. The dustproof rubber ring 424 is installed on the side wall of the main rod body 421 and fits against the side wall of the secondary rod body 422.
[0029] In this technical solution, the elastic telescopic rod 42 can contract when the scraper ring 41 is obstructed. At this time, the spring 423 is compressed and stores energy. When the steel slag loosens due to the increase in temperature, the energy stored in the spring 423 is released, pushing the scraper ring 41 and removing the steel slag from the track 1.
[0030] The dustproof rubber ring 424 can prevent external dust and other contaminants from entering the main body 421.
[0031] In some technical solutions, sealing gaskets 7 are fitted to the side walls of both observation windows 6.
[0032] In this technical solution, by setting a sealing gasket 7 on the observation window 6, the sealing effect at the observation window 6 can be improved after the furnace door 2 is closed. In this paper, the sealing gasket 7 is made of high temperature resistant material.
[0033] In some technical solutions, a material drop chute 8 is provided in the middle of the track 1, and a fixing sleeve 9 is installed at both ends of the track 1. A connecting plate 10 is installed on the lower wall of the fixing sleeve 9, and a fixing bolt 11 is inserted into the upper wall of the connecting plate 10.
[0034] In this technical solution, the fixed sleeve 9 can fix the track 1 on the one hand, and limit the furnace door 2 on the other hand, preventing the furnace door 2 from sliding off the track 1.
[0035] Working principle: Under the action of the external hydraulic rod, the two furnace doors 2 will move towards the middle of the track 1 to close the converter chamber. When the furnace door 2 is closed, the scraper ring 41 first cleans the steel slag and other impurities on the track 1 to ensure that there are no impurities on the track 1, so that the furnace door 2 can close normally and the furnace door 2 can move smoothly.
[0036] At the same time, the heating sleeve 43 can heat the track 1 in advance, loosening the steel slag on its upper part, making it easier for the scraper ring 41 to scrape it off, thus improving the cleaning effect of the scraper ring 41.
