Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-temperature metallurgical technology, specifically to an electric furnace with a multi-gun structure. Background Technology
[0002] In high-temperature metallurgical processes, traditional spray lance technology faces problems such as slagging, burn-off, and clogging. Especially in slag splashing furnace protection processes, excessively thick slag buildup on the spray lance can obstruct airflow, requiring frequent cleaning or replacement. The spray lance directly contacts the high-temperature molten material (e.g., the temperature in the spray lance brick area of a side-blown furnace often exceeds 1200℃), causing severe thermal erosion of the refractory material. Combined with material impact and chemical reactions, this results in a short lifespan for the spray lance. Traditional spray lance structural designs are insufficiently adaptable to thermal stress, leading to uneven airflow distribution within the furnace, exacerbating localized high-temperature corrosion, and forcing companies to periodically shut down the furnace for maintenance. Replacing the spray lance requires shutting down the furnace to a safe temperature (usually taking 6-8 hours) and removing high-temperature molten slag, resulting in heat loss and wasted production capacity. The cyclical operation of shutdown-cooling-slag removal-reheating accelerates the spalling of the furnace lining refractory material, creating a vicious cycle of "increasing maintenance costs - shortened shutdown cycles." Manual slag removal poses safety hazards, and emergency repairs disrupt the production schedule. Although the industry has attempted to improve the material of the spray guns or add auxiliary cooling systems, the rigid connection between the traditional spray guns and the furnace body has not fundamentally solved the problems of low maintenance efficiency and energy waste. Therefore, we propose an electric furnace with a multi-spray gun structure. Utility Model Content

The rotating assembly 6 includes a fixed frame 61, a threaded column 62, a turntable 63, a hexagonal disc 64, and a hexagonal groove 65. The fixed frame 61 is fixed at the upper end of the circumferential surface of the feed pipe 3. A threaded hole is opened on the upper side of the fixed frame 61. The threaded column 62 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole. The hexagonal disc 64 is fixed at the lower end of the threaded column 62. The hexagonal groove 65 is opened at the upper end of the rotating shaft 53. The hexagonal disc 64 is slidably connected inside the hexagonal groove 65. The turntable 63 is fixed at the upper end of the threaded column 62. The cover assembly 7 includes a furnace cover 71 and electrodes 72.

The rotation of the hexagonal disk 64 drives the sealing ball 51 to rotate. When the hexagonal disk 64 moves downward to the bottom of the hexagonal groove 65, the sealing ball 51 will seal the feed pipe 3.
