Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steelmaking equipment technology, specifically an electric arc furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking is attracting increasing attention from steel companies. However, due to the influence of blast furnace technology, EAFs need to consume a portion of molten iron. In addition, with fluctuations in scrap steel prices, the raw material structure of EAFs may change from all scrap steel to a large proportion of molten iron of over 80%. Under all scrap steel conditions, existing scrap steel preheating EAFs can increase the average preheating temperature of scrap steel to over 250°C. However, under a large proportion of molten iron, due to the intense carbon-oxygen reaction, the splashes in the preheating section will adhere to the scrap steel, making it difficult for the scrap steel to enter the furnace body and affecting normal production. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem of sputtering material adhering to the preheating section when the raw material is a large proportion of molten iron, existing scrap preheating electric furnaces fail to solve this issue. This invention provides an electric arc furnace in which, when smelting a large proportion of molten iron, the movable flue is connected to the furnace body's feed inlet. The movable flue can block the sputtering material discharged from the feed inlet, preventing it from entering the horizontal preheating section. This design allows for simultaneous application to both extreme raw material structures, such as all scrap steel and a large proportion of molten iron.

When the outlet end of the vertical flue section is connected to the inlet end of the horizontal flue section, and the outlet end of the horizontal flue section is connected to the first mixing air port, the rollers can move upward and disengage from the horizontal preheating section.

[0011] The horizontal preheating section contains a first mixing port, a second mixing port, and a third mixing port arranged sequentially from right to left.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, the electric arc furnace described in this embodiment includes a horizontal preheating section 2, a feeding trolley 3, and a furnace body 4 arranged sequentially from left to right. The electric arc furnace also includes a movable flue 5 and a movable fume hood 6. The left side of the furnace body 4 contains a feed inlet 41. The movable fume hood 6 or the movable flue 5 can be connected to the feed inlet 41. When the movable fume hood 6 is connected to the feed inlet 41, the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the feed inlet 41 can enter the horizontal preheating section 2 through the movable fume hood 6. When the movable flue 5 is connected to the feed inlet 41, the high-temperature flue gas discharged from the feed inlet 41 can enter the horizontal preheating section 2 through the movable flue 5. The high-temperature flue gas discharged from the feed inlet 41 can change direction within the movable flue 5.

[0045] When a large proportion of molten iron (more than 80% by weight in the raw materials) is added to the furnace body 4 and smelted, the movable flue 5 is connected to the feed inlet 41 and is in the working position. The charging trolley 3 and the movable fume hood 6 are both detached from the feed inlet 41 and are in the waiting position. When scrap steel is added to the furnace body 4 and smelted, the charging trolley 3 and the movable fume hood 6 are both connected to the feed inlet 41 and are in the working position. The movable flue 5 is detached from the feed inlet 41 and is in the waiting position. Under conditions of a large proportion of molten iron, the movable flue 5 can prevent splashes from the molten pool in the furnace body 4 from entering the horizontal preheating section 2 from the feed inlet 41, preventing the scrap steel from being overheated and sticking to the horizontal preheating section 2. This allows for simultaneous application to both extreme raw material structures of all scrap steel and a large proportion of molten iron.

[0046] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 3 As shown, the movable flue 5 is a split structure, containing a horizontal flue section 51 and a vertical flue section 52 arranged vertically.

The upper end of the upper connecting pipe 521 is the outlet end of the vertical flue section 52. The diameter of the upper connecting pipe 521 is smaller than the diameter of the side wall 523. The inlet end of the vertical flue section 52 is located on the side wall 523. The side wall 523 can be matched and connected to the outside of the feed inlet 41 of the furnace body 4. The area of ​​the inlet end of the vertical flue section 52 is larger than the area of ​​the feed inlet 41.

[0049] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 4 As shown, the vertical flue section 52 can be an upright cylindrical structure or a square cylindrical structure.

The roller 56 can facilitate the horizontal flue section 51 to move left and right. The lower end of the vertical inlet section 513 is provided with a second magnetic suction valve 514. When the outlet end of the vertical flue section 52 is connected to the inlet end of the horizontal flue section 51, and the outlet end of the horizontal flue section 51 is connected to the first mixing port 21, the roller 56 can move upward and disengage from the horizontal preheating section 2.

[0053] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal preheating section 2 contains a first mixing port 21, a second mixing port 22 and a third mixing port 23 arranged sequentially from right to left.

[0071] Step 11: The horizontal flue section 51 moves to its leftmost position, and the outlet end of the horizontal flue section 51 is connected to the second mixing inlet 22. The second lifting mechanism 55 is extended, and the roller 56 touches the bottom. Support points for supporting the roller 56 can be provided on the horizontal flue section 51, allowing cold air to enter the second mixing inlet 22 from the horizontal flue section 51. Figure 2 As shown;

After passing through the scrap steel pressing device 11, the 8t scrap steel enters the horizontal preheating section 2. After being preheated by the mixed high-temperature flue gas, it enters the molten pool of the furnace body 4.

[0073] Step 13: Turn on the oxygen lance and set the oxygen flow rate to 3000 Nm. 3 / h, continue oxygen blowing;
