Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of airflow detection devices, specifically a central airflow detection device inside a blast furnace. Background Technology

[0002] The strength of the central airflow within a blast furnace during daily production directly impacts its operational status and influences key performance indicators. Changes in external factors can alter the central airflow, potentially leading to malfunctions and significant degradation of blast furnace performance. Therefore, stable control of the central airflow is crucial for blast furnace operation. While most blast furnaces are equipped with in-furnace video monitoring and some have cross-type thermometers to assess central airflow changes, some still lack these devices. Furthermore, damaged cross-type thermometers or dust accumulation / damage to in-furnace cameras prevent operators from promptly and effectively monitoring central airflow strength. This hinders timely adjustments, potentially causing anything from deteriorating performance to severe fluctuations in furnace conditions. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A blast furnace in-furnace central airflow detection device includes: a limiting box 1 and a blast furnace group 5. The limiting box 1 is assembled on the outside of the blast furnace group 5. A limiting block 12 is assembled in the inner cavity of the limiting box 1. A horizontal groove 2 is opened on the front of the limiting box 1. An annular groove 21 is opened on the back of the horizontal groove 2. Limiting grooves 22 are opened at the upper and lower ends of the inner cavity of the annular groove 21. A patch thermocouple 3 is inserted inside the limiting box 1. A limiting mechanism 4 is inserted outside the limiting box 1.

[0024] Blast furnace group 5 is a common type of blast furnace in the prior art. The limiting box 1 is installed on the outside of the flange steel ring between blast furnace group 5 and airtight box, and there are at least three sets of limiting boxes 1. The limiting box 1 can fix the patch thermocouple 3, and the limiting block 12 can support the position of the patch thermocouple 3. The cooperation of the annular groove 21, the limiting groove 22 and the transverse groove 2 makes it convenient to insert the limiting mechanism 4 into the inside of the limiting box 1 to lock the position of the patch thermocouple 3.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The limiting mechanism 4 includes a chamfered arm 41, which is inserted into the outside of the limiting box 1. A rotating arm 42 is mounted on the front of the chamfered arm 41 via a bearing seat, and a locking block 43 is connected to both the left and right sides of the rotating arm 42.

[0026] The C-shaped arm 41 can be inserted into the transverse groove 2 to fix the position of the patch thermocouple 3. The cooperation of the rotating arm 42 and the locking block 43 can lock the position of the C-shaped arm 41.

[0027] The surface mount thermocouple 3 is equipped with a handle 31, and the handle 31 is equipped with a rubber sleeve. The handle 31 makes it convenient for the operator to drive the surface mount thermocouple 3 to move. The limit box 1 is equipped with a locking frame 11 on its exterior. The locking frame 11 is connected to the blast furnace group 5 by bolts. The locking frame 11 makes it convenient to fix the limit box 1 to the exterior of the blast furnace group 5.

[0028] The front of the rotating arm 42 is equipped with a torsion wheel 44, which has anti-slip texture. The torsion wheel 44 facilitates the operation of the rotating arm 42 by the operator. The anti-slip texture facilitates the operation of the torsion wheel 44 by the operator. Springs 45 are connected to both sides of the inner cavity of the limit box 1. The springs 45 contact the C-shaped arm 41 and facilitate the contact of the C-shaped arm 41, so that the locking block 43 is inserted into the inner cavity of the limit groove 22 to reinforce the position of the rotating arm 42. The front of the patch thermocouple 3 is equipped with a communication module. The bottom of the patch thermocouple 3 is attached to the outside of the blast furnace group 5. The communication module facilitates the transmission of temperature data detected by the patch thermocouple 3.

[0029] This scheme fixes the limiting box 1 to the outside of the blast furnace group 5 through the locking frame 11, inserts the patch thermocouple 3 into the inside of the limiting box 1, and inserts the limiting mechanism 4 into the inner cavity of the transverse groove 2. Through the cooperation of the C-shaped arm 41 and the limiting block 12, the position of the patch thermocouple 3 is fixed. Rotating the rotating arm 42 makes the rotating arm 42 and the locking block 43 lock into the inner cavity of the annular groove 21 and the limiting groove 22, thus completing the fixation of the limiting mechanism 4. The patch thermocouple 3 is used to detect the blast furnace group 5, and the temperature data detected by the patch thermocouple 3 is connected to the operating computer in the foreman's room. The computer generates a temperature trend graph and displays the temperature data displayed by the patch thermocouple 3 on the computer to determine the change trend of the external temperature of the blast furnace group 5, thereby realizing the determination of the change in the strength of the central airflow inside the blast furnace group 5.

[0030] The external temperature of the blast furnace group 5 is detected by the added patch thermocouple 3. The change in the external temperature of the blast furnace group 5 is used to determine the change in the strength of the central airflow inside the blast furnace group 5. This replaces the traditional cross-shaped temperature measuring gun for temperature measurement, thereby improving the speed and stability of the device's judgment. At the same time, the added C-shaped arm 41, rotating arm 42, horizontal groove 2, annular groove 21 and limiting groove 22 quickly fix the position of the patch thermocouple 3 after it is assembled, improving the assembly speed of the patch thermocouple 3, thereby improving the speed of maintenance and disassembly of the patch thermocouple 3.
