Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment testing technology, and in particular to a device for detecting air leakage points in the air box of a sintering machine. Background Technology
[0002] Air leakage in the sintering machine system is the most difficult problem to manage, with detecting leaks in the sintering machine's air box being particularly challenging. Currently, most sintering plants rely on operators listening for leaks by sound while the machine is running, but this method is inaccurate for leaks in air boxes located at high altitudes. Others hire third-party testing companies to use specialized measuring instruments, but this method is expensive and inconvenient. Furthermore, because the sintering machine's air box is located above the running trolley and experiences high temperatures, inspecting for leaks poses significant safety risks. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a sintering machine air box leakage detection device, which solves the problems of inaccurate detection and high detection costs in existing sintering machine air box leakage detection.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A device for detecting air leakage points in the air box of a sintering machine includes a telescopic rod, a hook on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod, a smoke canister attached to the hook, and a smoke cake placed inside the smoke canister.
[0006] The hook is detachably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod.
[0007] The handheld end of the telescopic rod is fitted with anti-slip grip tape.
[0008] The telescopic rod is multi-section telescopic, and the hook is installed on the telescopic head at the top of the telescopic rod.
[0009] The smoke canister is provided with a fixing groove, and the smoke cake is fitted into the fixing groove.
[0010] The hook is fitted with a rubber ring at the attachment point.
[0011] The hook has a limiting groove at its attachment point.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: This invention provides convenient and efficient testing, with accurate and reliable results. Operators only need to hold a telescopic rod and bring the telescopic end with the smoke canister close to the sintering machine's air box to perform the testing. By utilizing the negative pressure within the sintering machine's air box, the smoke emitted from the smoke cake in the smoke canister is drawn into the air box through the leak point, clearly identifying the leak location. This effectively avoids misjudgments or omissions that may occur with traditional testing methods, providing a reliable basis for subsequent equipment maintenance and repair. It also helps improve the overall operating efficiency and stability of the sintering machine, reducing energy waste and production losses caused by air box leaks. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0020] A device for detecting air leaks in a sintering machine bellows includes a telescopic rod 1. A hook 2 is mounted on the telescopic end of the rod 1, and a smoke canister 3 is attached to the hook 2. A smoke cake 4 is placed inside the smoke canister 3. The operator holds the telescopic rod 1 and brings the smoke canister 3 close to the sintering machine bellows. The smoke cake 4 inside the smoke canister 3 emits smoke. When an air leak occurs in the sintering machine bellows, the negative pressure inside the bellows draws the smoke from the leak point into the bellows. The operator can then determine the air leak point by observing the smoke intake. The detection is simple, quick, and accurate.
[0021] The hook 2 is detachably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1.
[0022] The handheld end of the telescopic rod 1 is fitted with anti-slip grip tape 5.
[0023] The telescopic rod 1 is a multi-section telescopic rod, and the hook 2 is installed on the telescopic head at the top of the telescopic rod 1.
[0024] The smoke canister 3 is provided with a fixing groove 6, and the smoke cake 4 is fitted into the fixing groove 6.
[0025] The hook 2 is fitted with a rubber ring 7 at the attachment point.
[0026] The hook 2 has a limiting groove 8 at the attachment point.
[0027] When using:
[0028] The operator holds a telescopic rod 1 with anti-slip grip tape 5 installed. Adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 1 according to the position and height of the sintering machine's air box, the operator extends the telescopic end of the rod 1 to a suitable position, bringing the hook 2 on the top telescopic head close to the air box. The operator then picks up the smoke canister 3 containing the smoke cake 4, which is secured in the fixing groove 6, and hangs it on the hook 2, ensuring a secure connection. Due to the rubber ring 7 and the limiting groove 8 at the hook 2's connection point, the smoke canister 3 remains stable during the inspection process and will not easily shake or fall off. The operator slowly moves the telescopic rod 1 with the smoke canister 3 close to the suspected leak point in the sintering machine's air box. At this point, the smoke cake 4 inside the smoke canister 3 begins to emit smoke. When there is a leak in the sintering machine's air box, the negative pressure inside the air box will draw the smoke emitted by the smoke canister 3 into the air box. By carefully observing the smoke intake, including the location, speed, and concentration of the smoke, the operator determines the location and degree of the leak in the sintering machine's air box.
[0029] During the inspection process, operators can flexibly adjust the position and angle of the telescopic rod 1 as needed to conduct comprehensive inspections of different parts of the bellows. Meanwhile, since the hook 2 is detachably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 1, it allows for convenient operation in special inspection environments or when different types of hook 2 need to be replaced, ensuring the smooth progress of the inspection work.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
