Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste heat recovery technology, specifically a waste heat reuse device for converter steelmaking. Background Technology
[0002] Converter steelmaking uses molten iron, scrap steel, and ferroalloys as the main raw materials. Without the aid of external energy, the steelmaking process is completed in the converter by generating heat through the physical heat of the molten iron itself and the chemical reactions between the components of the molten iron. During the smelting process in the steelmaking converter, a large amount of flue gas is often generated. The flue gas temperature is high. If it is directly discharged, it will cause a great waste of energy and pollute the surrounding environment. Therefore, waste heat recovery devices are needed.
[0003] Currently, existing waste heat recovery devices for converter steelmaking have low waste heat recovery rates and cannot effectively remove dust from the flue gas, failing to meet user needs. Therefore, we propose a waste heat recovery device for converter steelmaking. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waste heat recovery device for converter steelmaking, comprising a base plate, and further comprising, from left to right, a converter body, a PLC control box, a waste heat recovery box, and a steam turbine generator installed on the top of the base plate. A gas guide pipe is provided between the top of the converter body and the lower left side of the waste heat recovery box, and a steam delivery pipe is provided between the top of the waste heat recovery box and the left side of the steam turbine generator. Multiple equally spaced arc-shaped pads are fixedly connected to the upper end of the inner wall of the waste heat recovery box, and a heat exchange pipe is provided on the top of the arc-shaped pads. The upper end of the heat exchange pipe is connected to a drain pipe extending to the outside of the upper end of the waste heat recovery box, and the lower end of the heat exchange pipe is connected to a water delivery pipe extending to the outside of the lower end of the waste heat recovery box.

[0006] Preferably, a sludge collection hopper is provided at the lower end of the inner cavity of the waste heat recovery box, and a transparent drain pipe extending to the outside of the lower end of the waste heat recovery box is provided at the lower end of the sludge collection hopper.

[0008] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a cross-shaped fixing frame fixed to the upper end of the inner cavity of the waste heat recovery box. The middle end of the cross-shaped fixing frame is movably connected to a rotating shaft 24 via a bearing. Multiple equally spaced stirring rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft located below the cross-shaped fixing frame. The rotating shaft is driven by a drive motor fixed to the outside of the waste heat recovery box.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the gas guide pipe, can send the high-temperature flue gas generated by the converter body into the waste heat recovery box. The high-temperature flue gas can then contact the water in the waste heat recovery box, achieving heat exchange while removing dust from the flue gas. The water is heated to generate steam, which can be sent to the steam turbine generator through the steam delivery pipe, thereby driving the steam turbine generator to work and realize the ability to generate electricity from the waste heat of the flue gas. Through the setting of the water delivery pipe, cold water can be delivered to the heat exchange tube in the waste heat recovery box after connecting the external cold water delivery pipe. The water in the heat exchange tube can then contact the flue gas and water in the waste heat recovery box, achieving the same heat exchange capability. When the water after heat exchange is discharged through the drain pipe for use, the waste heat recovery efficiency of this device can be improved through two waste heat recovery methods, and the dust in the flue gas can be removed, achieving the function of flue gas filtration, which is beneficial to people's use.
[0013] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the sludge collection hopper, can guide the dust from the flue gas filtered by the water under the influence of gravity, causing it to accumulate and settle inside the transparent drain pipe. This allows people to directly observe the sedimentation of the filtered dust. When cleaning is needed, simply open the manual valve on the right end of the transparent drain pipe, and the sediment accumulated inside the transparent drain pipe can be discharged outwards, making it convenient for people to clean the dust sediment.

[0023] This technical solution: By setting up the gas guide pipe 8, the high-temperature flue gas generated by the converter body 2 can be sent into the waste heat recovery box 5. Then, the high-temperature flue gas can come into contact with the water in the waste heat recovery box 5, realizing heat exchange and removing dust from the flue gas.
