Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment, and in particular to a novel protective device for a feed pipe. Background Technology
[0002] In the steel production sector, an efficient and stable production process is of paramount importance. The capacity replacement project of the new No. 1 area of the Beiying Steel Plant of Benxi Steel Group carries a critical production task. The project, which was completed in June 2023, is equipped with two 100-ton converters as core production equipment. However, the supporting auxiliary facilities, such as the feed pipe system, which are closely connected to them, have become a "weak link" in the production line.
[0003] Since its commissioning, the feed pipe wall has been subjected to continuous and intense scouring and friction from materials, leading to increasingly severe wear and tear. Frequent material leakage not only results in significant raw material waste but also creates a chaotic accumulation of materials in the surrounding work area, making cleanup extremely difficult. Furthermore, this directly disrupts the originally meticulously planned production schedule, hindering the connection between various stages and significantly reducing production efficiency. Even emergency repairs using welding methods fail to achieve ideal results due to varying degrees of pipe wall damage and complex operating conditions. The lengthy downtime required for each repair further exacerbates the company's production pressure, creating an urgent need for new protective devices.
[0004] A protective device for a feed pipe is now invented, which can effectively prevent serious impact on the inner wall of the pipe during the material filling process. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a novel protective device for a feed pipe, which can effectively prevent serious impact on the inner wall of the pipe during the material filling process.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A novel feed pipe protection device includes:
[0008] A fixed metal frame is welded to the material leakage position or the part of the feed pipe that is frequently impacted. The fixed metal frame has trapezoidal structures on both sides and the thickness gradually decreases from top to bottom, forming an inclined surface that facilitates the sliding of materials.
[0009] An openable and closable metal door is hinged to one side of the fixed metal frame, and a manganese steel wear-resistant plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the metal door.
[0010] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the fixed metal frame is square, matching the opening of the feed pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the metal door is locked by a pin in the closed state. The pin is equipped with a quick-release structure, including a spring clip and a positioning groove, which is used to realize the quick opening and closing of the door and the periodic replacement of the wear-resistant plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the manganese steel wear-resistant plate is detachably installed on the inside of the metal valve by bolts, and its surface is provided with concave and convex textures to enhance wear resistance and guide material accumulation to form an elastic protective layer.
[0013] Furthermore, a buffer gap is provided between the trapezoidal side of the fixed metal frame and the outer wall of the feed pipe, and the buffer gap is filled with an elastic material layer to absorb the impact energy of the material.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer surface of the metal valve is covered with a high-temperature resistant coating, the thickness of which is 0.5-1.2 mm.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0016] This new type of material feeding protection device can effectively mitigate the risk of material leakage, solve a series of problems such as frequent impacts of sharp materials on hard inner walls, and is simple to prefabricate offline, reducing maintenance costs, effectively reducing failure rates, and meeting process requirements.
