Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refining furnace electrode technology, and more specifically, to a refining furnace electrode device with high stability. Background Technology
[0002] The refining furnace heats molten steel by generating an electric arc through graphite electrodes. During the refining process, the electrodes are continuously consumed. To ensure the effective arc ignition, the electrode holder's horizontal arm automatically lowers, shortening the distance between the bottom of the electrode and the molten steel surface. However, when too many electrodes are consumed, the holder's horizontal arm reaches its lower limit, preventing further downward movement and thus halting the arc generation and heating of the molten steel. Therefore, when excessive electrode consumption occurs, workers must use a sliding electrode operation to lower the electrode a certain distance to continue igniting the arc and heating the molten steel. Previously, sliding electrode operations required workers to direct an overhead crane to suspend the electrode from above and lower it to the appropriate working position. This also required personnel to assist near the high-temperature electrode, posing a risk of burns. In the entire production process, the overhead crane is involved in operations such as lifting ladles for continuous casting, loading empty ladles, dumping slag, and transporting scrap steel, resulting in a very tight work schedule and making it difficult to schedule the overhead crane for sliding electrode operations in a timely manner. Furthermore, the overhead crane's operating hook is not easily positioned precisely, requiring repeated fine-tuning, which is time-consuming. Therefore, using an overhead crane to perform sliding electrode operation significantly prolongs the steel molten material treatment time, affects the production organization rhythm, and wastes valuable production time.
