Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of moisture detection technology for steel raw materials, and in particular to drying equipment for determining the moisture content of steel raw materials. Background Technology
[0002] The main raw materials for steelmaking include iron ore, coke, manganese ore, and limestone. Iron ore is the main source of iron and is pre-treated by beneficiation, sintering, or pelletizing before entering the blast furnace for smelting. Coke serves as fuel and reducing agent, providing heat and reducing gases for the ironmaking process. Manganese ore is used to improve the strength, hardness, and wear resistance of steel. Fluxes such as limestone can remove gangue components from iron ore, lower the melting point of slag, and better separate slag from molten iron. Through a series of complex physicochemical reactions, pig iron is finally produced. Then, through the steelmaking process, impurities are further removed and the composition is adjusted to ultimately produce various steel products.
[0003] Commonly used drying equipment for determining the moisture content of steel raw materials includes electric heating drying ovens, vacuum drying ovens, and infrared moisture analyzers. Electric heating drying ovens circulate air within the oven, uniformly heating the steel raw materials and drying the samples at a set temperature. Vacuum drying ovens dry under low pressure, preventing sample oxidation and are suitable for heat-sensitive or easily oxidized steel raw materials. Infrared moisture analyzers use infrared rays to rapidly heat the sample and measure the moisture content in real time by measuring changes in sample mass; they are characterized by ease of operation and high efficiency. These devices, through different drying principles and technologies, provide reliable means for accurately determining the moisture content of steel raw materials. However, for steel raw materials with high moisture content or large batches, it can take several hours or even longer to reach constant weight, resulting in low efficiency. In existing technologies, steel raw materials are pre-dried before use, and then sent to the drying equipment for precise drying after the moisture content has been reduced to a certain level. However, because steel raw materials are aggregated during testing, the accumulation of raw materials can lead to inaccurate test results. Utility Model Content

[0032] Specifically, starting the motor 3 generates power that causes the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 drives the connecting rod 5 connected to it to move, which in turn causes the rotating rod 6 and the bearing plate 7 to rotate. At the same time, the rotating shaft 4 also drives the crossbar 8, the rotating rod 9 and the stirring rod 10 connected to the bottom to rotate together, thereby realizing the all-round stirring of the steel raw materials, ensuring that the steel raw materials are evenly dispersed, and making it easier to detect their moisture content more accurately. The bottom of the machine body 1 is equipped with support legs 11 at the four corners, and the bottom of the support legs 11 is fixedly installed with foot pads 12 to support the overall structure.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The opening and closing mechanism 2 includes a cover plate 201, which is located on the top of the body 1. The cover plate 201 has a mounting groove 202 on the left and right sides of the front side. The top left and right sides of the cover plate 201 are fixedly connected to a fixing block 203. The outer side of the fixing block 203 is fixedly connected to a handle 204, which can easily open the cover plate 201. The top of the cover plate 201 is provided with a ventilation mesh 205. The inner wall of the mounting groove 202 is provided with a rubber pad 17. The rubber pad 17 is connected to a screw 18 by an external thread. The rubber pad 17 is fixed by the screw 18 to play a protective role.
[0034] Specifically, two mounting slots 202 are made on the surface of the cover plate 201, and two fixing blocks 203 are securely connected to the designated positions of the cover plate 201. Then, the handle 204 is installed on the fixed fixing blocks 203. At the same time, a ventilation mesh 205 is provided on the cover plate 201. By holding the handle 204, the cover plate 201 can be easily opened, which improves the convenience of use, enhances the heat dissipation performance of the body 1, and ensures the stability of the body 1 during use. The inner wall of the mounting slot 202 is provided with a rubber pad 17. The outer thread of the rubber pad 17 is connected to the screw 18. The rubber pad 17 is fixed by the screw 18, thereby performing its protective function.
[0035] Reference Figure 2 A warning sign 13 is provided on the right side of the outer wall of the machine body 1. A screw 14 is threadedly connected to the outside of the warning sign 13. The warning sign 13 is fixed by the screw 14 to serve as a warning. A display screen 15 is installed on the top front side of the machine body 1. A button 16 is provided on the right end of the top front side of the machine body 1 to operate the machine body 1.
[0036] Specifically, a warning sign 13 is specially configured on the right side of the outer wall of the body 1. The warning sign 13 is fixed to the screw 14 by the threaded connection on the outside, so as to perform its warning function. In addition, a display screen 15 is installed on the top front side of the body 1, and a button 16 is set on the right end of the top front side to facilitate the operation of the body 1.
[0037] Working principle: When the motor 3 is started, its output kinetic energy drives the rotating shaft 4 to start rotating. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 causes the connecting rod 5 connected to it to move, which in turn drives the rotating rod 6 and the bearing plate 7 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 also drives the crossbar 8, rotating rod 9 and stirring rod 10 connected at the bottom to rotate together. It does not stir the steel raw material in all directions, but makes the steel raw material evenly dispersed, which makes it easier to detect the moisture of the steel raw material.
[0038] Two mounting slots 202 are made on the surface of the cover plate 201, and two fixing blocks 203 are firmly connected to the corresponding positions of the cover plate 201. The handle 204 is installed on the fixed blocks 203 that have been connected, and a ventilation mesh 205 is set on the cover plate 201. When the user needs to operate the equipment, he / she can directly grasp the handle 204, which can easily open the cover plate 201, improve the convenience of use, improve the heat dissipation performance of the body 1, and ensure the stability of the body 1 during use.
