Conventional blast furnace insulation measures include hot blast heating, coke heating, or electric heating. However, regardless of the type of blast furnace insulation, auxiliary heating equipment is required, which results in high heating and insulation costs, large resource consumption, complex operation, low efficiency, and high environmental pollution risks.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0025] In the description of this patent, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.
[0026] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "over," "on the upper surface," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation besides the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, a device described as "above" or "above" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein are interpreted accordingly. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1-7As shown, the working principle of a combustion device for rapid heat preservation of blast furnace body is as follows: Several combustion devices extend into the blast furnace 17 from different blast furnace tapholes, and spray flames through several holes 7 set at the front end of the burner 1, thereby efficiently and rapidly heating the blast furnace 17.
[0028] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a combustion device for rapid heat preservation of a blast furnace body includes a burner 1, a connecting pipe 2, a combustion air pipeline 3, a coke oven gas pipeline 4, and a sealing cap 5. The burner 1 is a slender cylindrical tube, which is convenient to manufacture and use. The burner is directly inserted into the blast furnace taphole to heat the blast furnace body. Several holes 7 are provided on the tube wall, which are arranged alternately to allow flames to shoot out and heat the blast furnace body. The heating range is wide and the heating is uniform. The end of the burner 1 is connected to the connecting pipe 2. The tail section has a branching structure, with each branch connecting to a combustion air pipeline 3 and a coke oven gas pipeline 4, respectively. The combustion air pipeline 3 and coke oven gas pipeline 4 are separately introduced into a connecting pipe 2 and then fused together before being ejected from the burner 1 to bake the furnace body. A sealing cap 5 is installed at the connection point between the connecting pipe 2 and the combustion air pipeline 3 and coke oven gas pipeline 4. A stepped sealing plug 6 is installed inside the sealing cap 5. The sealing cap 5 is threaded to the connecting pipe 2 and fully encloses the end of the branch of the connecting pipe 2. The stepped sealing plug 6 inside the sealing cap 5 seals the opening at the end of the branch of the connecting pipe 2 to prevent leakage. A connection hole for connecting the combustion air pipeline 3 and coke oven gas pipeline 4 is located at the center of the sealing cap 5 and the stepped sealing plug 6, through which the combustion air pipeline 3 and coke oven gas pipeline 4 are connected to the branch of the connecting pipe 2.
[0029] Furthermore, the combustion device is set according to the number of blast furnace tapholes. The combustion device extends into the furnace body from the blast furnace tapholes. The blast furnace tapholes are located in different positions of blast furnace 17. The combustion device is fed into the blast furnace body through the blast furnace tapholes to bake the blast furnace body, ensuring a wide baking range and uniform baking temperature.
[0030] Furthermore, the combustion air pipeline 3 includes a combustion air blower 10, a main combustion air pipe 8, an air shut-off valve 11, a combustion air branch pipe 9, and an air regulating valve 12. The main combustion air pipe 8 is connected to the combustion air blower 10, the main combustion air pipe 8 is connected to the combustion air branch pipe 9, and the combustion air branch pipe 9 is connected to the tail end of the connecting pipe 2. An air shut-off valve 11 is installed on the main combustion air pipe 8, and an air regulating valve 12 is installed on the combustion air branch pipe 9. Different numbers of combustion air branch pipes 9 are installed according to the number of blast furnace tapholes. The combustion air flow rate of the combustion air branch pipe 9 is adjusted by the air regulating valve 12.
[0031] Furthermore, the coke oven gas pipeline 4 includes a main coke oven gas pipe 13, a branch coke oven gas pipe 14, a gas shut-off valve 15, and a gas regulating valve 16. The main coke oven gas pipe 13 is connected to the branch coke oven gas pipe 14, and the branch coke oven gas pipe 14 is connected to the end of the connecting pipe 2. The main coke oven gas pipe 13 is equipped with a gas shut-off valve 15, and the branch coke oven gas pipe 14 is equipped with a gas regulating valve 16. The number of branch coke oven gas pipes 14 is set according to the number of different blast furnace tapholes. The coke oven gas flow rate of the branch coke oven gas pipe 14 is adjusted by the gas regulating valve 16.
[0032] Furthermore, the small-diameter sealing end of the stepped sealing plug 6 is a truncated cone that fits into the connecting pipe 2. The sealing plug at the truncated cone end is inserted into the connecting pipe 2 and then connected to the connecting pipe 2 by a threaded connection through the sealing cap 5. This compresses and deforms the internal stepped sealing plug 6, resulting in higher sealing strength, preventing gas and air leakage, and improving operational safety.
