Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to steel smelting equipment, and more particularly to a metallurgical slag removal device. Background Technology
[0002] In the metallurgical process, impurities in the furnace charge, added slagging agents, and materials eroded from the furnace lining react chemically with elements such as oxygen and sulfur in the molten steel, forming compounds insoluble in the molten steel. These compounds float on the surface of the molten steel as solid particles, forming slag. If this slag is not removed in time, it will interfere with the smelting process, affect product quality, and even pollute the environment. Therefore, slag removal is an essential step in the metallurgical process.
[0003] The common method of slag removal is to use the grab bucket of a slag remover to scoop up the slag. However, due to the limited shape of the existing grab bucket and the fact that the inner wall of the steel furnace is mostly curved, the grab bucket cannot achieve wall-hugging gripping. This results in some slag near the inner wall of the steel furnace not being able to be scooped up by the grab bucket. This ring-shaped slag ring needs to be picked up using a slag-scooping rod. Using a slag-scooping rod usually requires manual operation, which poses safety hazards and is not very efficient. Therefore, solving the problem of the grab bucket sticking to the wall is the key to improving the efficiency and safety of slag removal. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The metallurgical slag removal device described in this embodiment includes a support assembly, a telescopic boom assembly, a lifting arm assembly, and a grab bucket assembly.

The arm extension plates 18 and the sliding arm 11 are integrated into one piece.
[0029] The grab bucket assembly includes a grab bucket 12 and a wall-mounted slag-removing device 13. The grab bucket 12 includes an opening and closing drive assembly 14, a heat insulation plate 15, a hinge seat 16, two pull rods 17, and two bucket bodies 19. The heat insulation plate 15 is horizontally fixed inside the installation chamber, dividing the installation chamber into upper and lower spaces. The opening and closing drive assembly 14 is located in the installation chamber above the heat insulation plate 15, and is fixedly connected to the sliding arm 11 by bolts. A through hole is provided at the center of the heat insulation plate 15, through which the drive shaft of the opening and closing drive assembly 14 passes to the installation chamber below the heat insulation plate 15. The hinge seat 16 is fixed to the lower end of the drive shaft of the opening and closing drive assembly 14, and a pull rod is hinged to the left and right ends of the hinge seat 16, respectively. A pull rod 17 is provided, with its lower end protruding from the bottom opening of the mounting chamber. Each bucket 19 is integrally formed with an extension plate connecting ear 20 and a pull rod connecting ear 21. The bucket 19 is hinged to the forearm extension plate 18 via the extension plate connecting ear 20 and a pin, and simultaneously, the bucket 19 is hinged to the lower end of the corresponding pull rod 17 via the pull rod connecting ear 21 and a pin. The hinge structure between the bucket 19 and the forearm extension plate 18 enables the opening and closing of the two buckets 19, while the hinge structure between the bucket 19 and the pull rod 17 drives the opening and closing of the two buckets 19. The push and pull action of the opening and closing drive assembly 14 drives the pull rod 17 to act on the bucket 19, causing the bucket 19 to open and close to grab. In this embodiment, the slag-removing device 13 is used to grab slag that is close to the furnace wall. When grabbing, the two buckets 19 are closed, and a slag-accommodating space is formed inside the two closed buckets 19.
[0030] The wall-mounted slag-removing device 13 includes a splash guard 22, a rotating motor 23, a slag-removing drive gear 24, a gear disc 25, a slag-removing plate 27, and a central shaft 30. A slag inlet 26 is provided on one of the two buckets 19, and this inlet 26 is connected to the slag-containing space. The inlet 26 is positioned slightly above the middle of the bucket 19 to prevent liquid from entering during slag grabbing by the grab bucket 12. The wall-mounted slag-removing device 13 is located at the slag inlet 26, with the splash guard 22 located inside the inlet 26 and welded to the bucket 19. The rotating motor 23, the slag-removing drive gear 24, and the gear disc 25 are located above the splash guard 22. This design prevents molten steel from splashing. The rotating motor 23 is bolted to the splash guard 22. The shaft end of 3 is fixedly connected to the slag-removing drive gear 24, which meshes with the gear disk 25. A shaft hole is formed on the splash guard 22, through which a central shaft bearing is embedded. The central shaft 30 passes through the shaft hole and is rotatably fitted with the central shaft bearing. The gear disk 25 is fixedly assembled on the upper end of the central shaft 30. Multiple slag-removing plates 27 are arranged at the position of the splash guard 22. The slag-removing plates 27 are arranged at equal angles in the circumferential direction and are fixedly connected to the central shaft 30. At the same time, several slag-removing plates 27 pass through the slag inlet 26 to the outer side of the bucket body 19. Under the driving action of the rotating motor 23, this structure will drive the central shaft 30 to rotate, and then make the slag-removing plates 27 rotate around the central shaft 30. The slag-removing plates 27 on the outer side of the bucket body 19 remove slag by driving the slag and rotating it to the inner side of the bucket body 19.
[0031] In order to ensure that the slag-scraping plate 27 can fit against the furnace wall to a certain extent, when the bucket body 19 is closed, the outer edge of the slag-scraping plate 27 is set vertically, and this outer vertical edge has a better slag-scraping effect for the curved furnace wall.
[0032] To improve the slag removal effect of the slag removal plate 27, the slag removal plate 27 is composed of a main body 29 and a folded edge 28. The main body 29 and the folded edge 28 are integrated into one piece, and the main body 29 and the folded edge 28 are at a certain angle. The angle formed between the main body 29 and the folded edge 28 is used to improve the rotational slag removal effect, because the angle has the effect of preventing slag from falling off.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the hinge structure between the bucket body 19 and the forearm extension plate 18 is used to realize the opening and closing action of the two bucket bodies 19, and the hinge structure between the bucket body 19 and the pull rod 17 is used to drive the opening and closing action of the two bucket bodies 19. The push and pull action of the opening and closing drive component 14 drives the pull rod 17 to act on the bucket body 19, so that the bucket body 19 opens and closes to grab. At the same time, under the driving action of the rotating motor 23, the central shaft 30 will be driven to rotate, which in turn causes the slag removal plate 27 to rotate around the central shaft 30. The slag removal plate 27 on the outside of the bucket body 19 drives the slag and rotates to the inside of the bucket body 19 to achieve slag removal against the wall.
[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
