Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of flash furnace technology, specifically a quick-release concentrate nozzle for a flash furnace. Background Technology

[0002] The concentrate nozzle, located at the top of the flash furnace reaction tower, is the only inlet for the concentrate powder to enter the flash furnace. Its main function is to mix the concentrate powder with oxygen-enriched air, and then use the high-speed airflow through the nozzle to eject the concentrate powder, ensuring smooth feeding. The concentrate powder mainly consists of copper concentrate, slag beneficiation concentrate, flash smelting slag, and quartz sand. The concentrate nozzle comprises a nozzle shell, guide cone, central oxygen pipe, distribution air ring, water-cooled base plate, matching metal hoses, and fastening clips. As a core component of flash smelting, the ease of disassembly and installation during maintenance of the concentrate nozzle, as well as its stability, are particularly important.

[0003] However, in existing technology, the concentrate nozzle water-cooled base plate is installed on the central oxygen pipe disk using crescent blocks and screws for fixation. The distribution air ring is installed between the guide cone and the oxygen pipe disk, with the water-cooled base plate at the bottom. Therefore, the concentrate nozzle guide cone, central oxygen disk, distribution air ring, and water-cooled base plate all need to be sealed, resulting in a high risk of leakage and a complex installation process. Sealing also leaves gaps after installation, creating a risk of subsequent air leakage and deterioration of the flash furnace's condition during operation. Furthermore, due to frequent disassembly and maintenance, reassembly is often not tight, leading to substandard assembly, leaks during pressure testing, and frequent rework. Additionally, the replacement rate of damaged spare parts is high.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a quick-release concentrate nozzle for flash furnaces to solve the above problems.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0021] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] like Figure 2-3 As shown, this application provides a quick-release concentrate nozzle for a flash furnace, including a guide cone 1, a water-cooled base plate 2, a central oxygen pipe 3, and a distribution air ring 4. The central oxygen pipe 3 is installed on the top of the water-cooled base plate 2, and the distribution air ring 4 is installed between the guide cone 1 and the water-cooled base plate 2. The top of the water-cooled base plate 2 is equipped with a plurality of water pipe heads 5 for connecting to metal hoses, and fasteners 6 are provided on the water-cooled base plate 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the original central oxygen pipe disc is eliminated, and the guide cone 1 is directly connected to the central oxygen pipe 3. The distribution air ring 4 is installed between the water-cooled base plate 2 and the guide cone 1 to achieve nozzle assembly. The metal hose connected to the water pipe head 5 is secured by the fastener 6 to ensure a firm and reliable connection, allowing operators to easily connect and disassemble. At the same time, due to the elimination of the central oxygen disc, the sealing surface is reduced, resulting in better sealing performance and reducing air leakage during use. After eliminating the central oxygen disc, the cooling intensity is increased by increasing the thickness of the water-cooled base plate 2, significantly extending the service life. Its cooling water interface does not need to pass through the chassis and can be directly connected to the metal hose, reducing the sealing surface, making installation and disassembly quicker and more convenient, and providing a tighter seal, reducing the risk of water and air leakage.

[0025] It should be noted that the central oxygen pipe 3 without the disc is remanufactured by casting or machining, and the thickness of the water-cooled base plate 2 is increased. The water-cooled base plate 2 is provided with channels for circulating cooling water that meet the requirements and fixed threads to ensure good heat dissipation performance, improve the cooling effect of spare parts, and improve the service life and effect of the concentrate nozzle.

[0026] The guide cone 1 has a threaded opening at the top, and the central oxygen tube 3 is adapted to the threaded opening. By connecting the central oxygen tube 3 to the threaded opening, the guide cone 1 and the central oxygen tube 3 can be directly connected.

[0027] In addition, the interior of the guide cone 1, the distribution air ring 4, and the water-cooled base plate 2 are all connected by internal and external threads. The modified central oxygen pipe 3 is used to fix the water-cooled base plate 2 and tighten all components.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, there are four water pipe heads 5, which are symmetrically distributed in pairs.

[0029] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the fastener 6 includes a crescent block 61, which is installed on the top of the water-cooled base plate 2 and is fitted around the central oxygen pipe 3. The outer wall of the crescent block 61 has a clearance groove for providing clearance space for multiple water pipe heads 5. The fastener 6 also includes multiple bolts 63. The crescent block 61 has multiple mounting holes 62, and the top of the water-cooled base plate 2 has multiple threaded holes. The multiple bolts 63 pass through the multiple mounting holes 62 and are threadedly connected to the threaded holes.

[0030] The metal hose connected to the water pipe head 5 fits against the inner wall of the clearance groove on the crescent block 61, which can hold the metal hose in place and ensure a firm and reliable connection.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] When installing the water-cooled base plate 2, fix the distribution air ring 4, assemble the four water pipe heads 5 and four metal hoses of the water-cooled base plate 2 through the cavity, adjust them to the appropriate position, and press them together with the fasteners 6 to ensure a firm and reliable connection, so that the operator can easily connect and disassemble. At the same time, since the central oxygen disc is eliminated, the sealing surface is reduced, the sealing performance is better, and the distribution air leakage during use is reduced. Through this series of quick connection mechanisms, a quick connection is achieved to complete the installation of the concentrate nozzle water-cooled base plate. After assembly, pressure testing and air test are carried out to ensure that there are no errors. It is then ready for use later.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
