Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steelmaking technology, specifically to a device for emergency handling of an overweight molten iron ladle. Background Technology
[0002] The blast furnace-converter "one-ladle-to-end" interface mode is a new technology for optimizing the metallurgical process interface. It eliminates the traditional torpedo-car or molten iron ladle transfer at the blast furnace-converter interface, directly using a molten iron ladle to pour molten iron into the converter. In this process, the molten iron ladle performs multiple functions, including receiving, transporting, buffering, pre-treating, converter pouring, rapid container turnover, and heat preservation. During iron tapping, inaccurate weighing on the line or under the furnace can lead to excessive weight. Steelmaking cranes and metallurgical casting cranes have strict lifting tonnage limits; overloading poses a significant safety risk, and prolonged inability to lift can cause molten iron to solidify inside the ladle, resulting in substantial losses. Therefore, an emergency response method or device is needed.
[0003] Patent CN101249558B discloses a "one-pot" process for ironmaking and steelmaking, which includes the receiving, transportation, buffer storage, pretreatment, converter charging, container turnover, and molten iron heat preservation processes of blast furnace molten iron. All these processes are completed within a single molten iron ladle, changing the traditional ironmaking-steelmaking interface model. It eliminates the need for ladle pits or mixing furnaces in the steelmaking workshop, as well as dust removal systems, reducing molten iron transfer operations. The process features a short flow rate and compact layout, reducing molten iron temperature drop by 25°C-30°C, lowering energy consumption, reducing iron loss and dust pollution, promoting cleaner production, reducing land occupation, and saving investment, thus offering significant economic and social benefits.
[0004] Because the furnace weighing accuracy is not high, it can lead to excessive iron output and overloading. The above process lacks an emergency plan for handling overloaded molten iron ladles. There is a risk that if the molten iron ladle is overloaded, it cannot be lifted for a long time, causing the molten iron to solidify inside the ladle and resulting in huge losses. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an emergency device for handling overweight molten iron ladles, in order to solve the problem that when a molten iron ladle is overweight, it cannot be lifted for a long time, causing the molten iron to solidify inside the ladle and resulting in huge losses.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a device for emergency handling of overweight molten iron ladles, comprising a slab and an iron storage tank, wherein the iron storage tank comprises a panel and a sealing plate, the panel being welded to the side of the slab, the sealing plate being a right-angled triangular steel plate, the hypotenuse of the sealing plate being welded to the panel, and sealing plates being welded to both sides of the panel, the right-angled side of the sealing plate being welded to the slab.
[0007] The principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the panel and the slab are welded to form a certain angle, and an iron storage tank that can store molten iron is formed between the panel, the slab and the sealing plate. By using a crane and wire rope to hoist the slab into the overweight molten iron ladle to hold out a portion of the molten iron, the problem of the molten iron ladle being overweight can be quickly solved and the molten iron can be prevented from solidifying.
[0008] Option 2, a preferred embodiment of the basic option, involves several sets of panels and sealing plates symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slab. Multiple sets of iron storage troughs are provided on both sides of the slab, allowing control over the amount of molten iron collected by adjusting the depth to which the slab is inserted into the ladle, thus preventing excessive molten iron from being collected and reducing waste.
[0009] Option 3, a preferred option of the basic option, involves providing a fire-resistant protective layer on the surfaces of the panel and the sealing plate. The material of the fire-resistant protective layer is... and mixture. Its melting point is 2852℃. The melting point of both is 2054℃. When mixed, the material can withstand extremely high temperatures, with molten iron reaching 1300℃-1400℃. and The mixture can resist the erosion and scouring of molten steel, molten iron, slag, etc., extend the service life of the device for emergency handling of overweight molten iron ladles, and ensure the normal operation of high-temperature equipment.
[0010] Option 4, a preferred option of the basic scheme, features lifting lugs welded to the top of the slab. This facilitates the connection of shackles or wire ropes, enabling crane lifting.
[0011] Option 5, a preferred embodiment of Option 4, features stiffening plates welded to both sides of the lifting lug. These stiffening plates enhance the connection strength between the lifting lug and the slab.
[0012] Option Six, a preferred option of the basic scheme, involves a traction rope fixedly connected to the end of the slab. This traction rope is a steel wire rope with a fire-resistant protective layer. For long or easily swaying cylindrical objects, the traction rope can be used to assist in stabilization. The traction rope should be of sufficient length to prevent operators from approaching the molten iron. The tension of the traction rope is controlled by personnel on the ground. When the object shows signs of swaying, adjustments are made promptly via the traction rope to maintain stability and prevent spillage of molten iron during crane operation.

[0018] Example
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown: An emergency device for handling overweight molten iron ladles includes a slab 1 and several iron storage tanks 2. Each iron storage tank 2 includes a panel 3 and a sealing plate 4. The panel 3 is welded to the slab 1 at a 30° angle. The sealing plate 4 is a right-angled triangular steel plate, with its hypotenuse welded to the panel 3 and its right-angled side welded to the slab 1. Sealing plates 4 are welded to both sides of the panel 3. Several panels 3 and sealing plates 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slab 1, forming the iron storage tanks 2 between the panels 3, sealing plates 4, and the slab 1. A fire-resistant protective layer is provided inside the iron storage tanks 2. The fire-resistant protective layer uses... and The mixture has a lifting lug 5 welded to the top of the slab 1, stiffening plates 6 welded to both sides of the lifting lug 5, and a traction rope 7 fixedly connected to the end of the slab 1. The traction rope 7 is a steel wire rope with a fire-resistant protective layer on its surface.
[0020] The implementation method of this embodiment is as follows: When the molten iron ladle is overweight, it is connected to the lifting lug 5 by a retaining ring or wire rope. The emergency device for handling overweight molten iron ladle is hoisted to the top of the molten iron ladle by a crane. The crane is then lowered, and the slab 1 and the iron storage tank 2 are inserted into the molten iron. Some of the molten iron is collected into the iron storage tank 2. The crane is then raised, and the operator controls the traction rope 7 from a distance. The traction direction is consistent with the direction of the crane's movement to prevent the slab 1 from shaking and causing the molten iron to spill out, which would pose a safety hazard. The slab 1 is hoisted into the empty molten iron ladle. The crane is then lowered to tilt the slab 1, allowing the molten iron to flow out of the iron storage tank 2. Finally, the emergency device for handling overweight molten iron ladle is reset, which can quickly solve the problem of overweight molten iron ladle and avoid the molten iron from solidifying due to prolonged stagnation of the molten iron ladle.
