Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yellow phosphorus electric furnace technology, specifically to a phosphorus furnace electrode sealing device. Background Technology

[0002] The yellow phosphorus electric arc furnace is an industrial piece of equipment specifically designed for the production of yellow phosphorus, widely used in chemical and metallurgical fields. During production, the furnace converts phosphate rock into high-purity yellow phosphorus through electrolysis or melting to meet various chemical and industrial demands. Electrodes, as an indispensable component of the furnace, play a crucial role in conducting current and promoting chemical reactions. Penetrating the furnace top and extending deep into the furnace chamber, the electrodes' sealing performance is critical to yellow phosphorus production. The main function of the electrode sealing device is to effectively seal off toxic gases within the furnace chamber, preventing the leakage of phosphorus-forming vapors, carbon monoxide, and other harmful gases generated during the reaction through the gap between the electrode and the furnace cover. This not only affects the health and safety of workers but also poses potential hazards to the environment and equipment. Therefore, ensuring good electrode sealing is essential for improving production efficiency, protecting operator safety, and maintaining environmental sustainability.

[0003] Patent CN212712753U discloses a novel electrode sealing device for a yellow phosphorus electric furnace, including a mounting base with a first through hole and a water seal groove at the upper end of the mounting base. A water seal cover is movably connected to the water seal groove, and a second through hole is opened at the upper end of the water seal cover. Electrodes are inserted into the second through hole and the first through hole. Symmetrically arranged semi-circular covers are movably connected to the upper end of the water seal cover, and a semi-circular sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the inner side of the semi-circular cover. A groove is opened at the upper end of the semi-circular cover, and a counterweight is movably connected to the groove. A first through groove is symmetrically arranged on the outer side of the mounting base, and an annular groove is opened at the lower end of the mounting base. This invention features an insertion rod to facilitate the connection between the mounting base and the water seal cover, improving the sealing effect. The added water seal groove can perform water sealing and facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the counterweight. Furthermore, the design of the limiting plate and the second spring ensures the stability of the insertion rod position.

[0004] The existing technology described above uses structures such as insert rods, limiting plates, and second springs to fix the water seal cover to the mounting base. When disassembling or assembling the water seal cover, both insert rods need to be pulled outwards simultaneously. This makes it difficult for a single worker to remove the water seal cover by pulling the two insert rods with both hands, resulting in a complex structure and inconvenient operation. In addition, the semi-circular cover requires multiple bolts and positioning blocks to fix it to the water seal cover, further increasing the complexity of electrode replacement and seriously affecting work efficiency and maintenance convenience. In view of this, we propose a phosphorus furnace electrode sealing device. Utility Model Content

The outside of the T-shaped limiting tube is provided with a sealing element for pressing the graphite packing, so that the graphite packing tightly wraps around the outside of the electrode.

[0010] The sealing element includes a first pressure block and a second pressure block hinged to the first pressure block.

The T-shaped limiting tube is located in the first T-shaped groove and the second T-shaped groove, so that the sealing element is effectively installed on the top of the water seal cover.

[0014] Preferably, the height of the limiting ring is the same as the height of the T-shaped limiting tube, and the height of the graphite packing is greater than the height of the limiting ring to ensure the sealing effect of the graphite packing.

[0015] Preferably, the inner wall of the first semi-circular pressing groove is provided with a plurality of first protrusions arranged at equal intervals, and the first protrusions press against the outer side of the graphite packing to improve the pressing effect on the graphite packing.
