[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0024] This application discloses an air supply and cooling mechanism for a ferrosilicon furnace.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-5 The air supply and cooling mechanism for the ferrosilicon furnace includes a fan 3, a bottom air duct 4, and a side wall air duct 5. A bottom plate 6 is provided below the furnace bottom 1 of the ferrosilicon furnace. The bottom plate 6 is fixedly connected to the furnace bottom 1 of the ferrosilicon furnace through an annular plate 61. A ventilation chamber 7 is formed between the furnace bottom 1 and the bottom plate 6. One end of the bottom air duct 4 is connected to the ventilation chamber 7, and the other end of the air duct of the furnace bottom 1 is sealed to the output end of the fan 3. The fan 3 supplies air to the bottom air duct 4.

[0026] A concrete foundation 62 is provided below the base plate 6, and the bottom air duct 4 is U-shaped, with the right end of the bottom air duct 4 embedded in the concrete foundation 62.

[0027] Multiple side wall air ducts 5 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the furnace shell 2. The side wall air ducts 5 are semi-circular. The two ends of the side wall air ducts 5 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the furnace shell 2 in the radial direction. A cooling chamber 8 is formed between the side wall air ducts 5 and the furnace shell 2. Ventilation holes 11 are opened on the furnace bottom 1. The ventilation holes 11 correspond one-to-one with the side wall air ducts 5. The ventilation holes 11 are connected to the ventilation chamber 7 and the cooling chamber 8 at the same time.

[0028] Auxiliary air holes 51 are provided on the side wall at the top of the side wall duct 5. The auxiliary air holes 51 are located on both sides of the radial direction of the side wall duct 5, and multiple auxiliary air holes 51 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction at the top of the side wall duct 5.

[0029] A cooling branch pipe 9 is provided on the side wall at the top of the side wall air duct 5, which is connected to the side wall air duct 5. The central axis of the cooling branch pipe 9 is perpendicular to the central axis of the side wall air duct 5. A cooling air hole 91 is provided on the side of the cooling branch pipe 9 near the furnace shell 2.

[0030] There are three cooling branch pipes 9. One of the three cooling branch pipes 9 is located on one side of the radial direction of the side wall duct 5, and the other two cooling branch pipes 9 are located on the other side of the radial direction of the side wall duct 5. The central axis of the cooling branch pipe 9 located on one side of the side wall duct 5 intersects the midpoint of the perpendicular line of the two cooling branch pipes 9 located on the other side of the radial direction of the side wall duct 5.

[0031] Air is supplied to the bottom duct 4 by the blower 3 to cool the furnace bottom 1. The air then enters the cooling chamber 8 between the side wall duct 5 and the furnace shell 2 through the ventilation hole 11 to cool the furnace shell 2. When the air moves upward to the top of the side wall duct 5, it passes through the auxiliary air hole 51 to cool the furnace shell 2 between two adjacent side wall ducts 5. At the same time, the cooling branch pipe 9 and the cooling air hole 91 also cool the furnace shell 2 between two adjacent side wall ducts 5, improving the cooling effect on the top of the furnace shell 2. By using air cooling to cool the furnace bottom 1 and the furnace shell 2 as a whole, not only is cracking of the weld seams of the furnace shell 2 due to high temperature prevented, but water leakage caused by water cooling is also reduced, thus protecting the furnace shell 2 and extending its service life.

[0032] The auxiliary air vent 51 is tilted upward on the side away from the central axis of the side wall duct 5, making it easier for the air to flow upward.

[0033] The outer peripheral wall of the furnace shell 2 is provided with annular reinforcing ribs 21. Multiple annular reinforcing ribs 21 are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction. The inner wall of the annular reinforcing ribs 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the furnace shell 2. The side of the annular reinforcing ribs 21 near the furnace shell 2 is provided with a receiving slot for the side wall air duct 5 to be accommodated. The inner wall of the receiving slot is in contact with the outer wall of the side wall air duct 5.

[0034] Vertical reinforcing ribs 22 are also provided on the outer peripheral wall of the furnace shell 2. These ribs are positioned between adjacent annular reinforcing ribs 21 and between the lowest annular reinforcing rib 21 and the furnace bottom 1. Multiple vertical reinforcing ribs 22 are spaced apart along the circumference of the furnace shell 2, and both ends of each rib 22 are fixed to the corresponding annular reinforcing rib 21 or the top surface of the furnace bottom 1. In actual production, several components are installed on the outer peripheral wall of the furnace shell 2, and the vertical reinforcing ribs 22 can be added or removed at different locations on the furnace shell 2 according to actual needs.

[0035] The annular reinforcing ribs 21 and vertical reinforcing ribs 22 improve the overall structural strength between the side wall air duct 5 and the furnace shell 2, reduce the deformation of the furnace shell 2 and the side wall air duct 5, and further improve the service life of the furnace shell 2.

[0036] A first I-beam 71 is installed inside the ventilation chamber 7. Multiple first I-beams 71 are arranged in a circumferential array along the furnace bottom 1. One end of each first I-beam 71 is close to the center of the furnace bottom 1, and the other end is close to the outer peripheral wall of the furnace bottom 1. A second I-beam 72 is installed between two adjacent first I-beams 71. The length of the second I-beam 72 is shorter than that of the first I-beam 71. Both ends of the first I-beam 71 are fixed to the bottom surface of the furnace bottom 1 and the top surface of the bottom plate 6, respectively. Both ends of the second I-beam 72 are fixed to the bottom surface of the furnace bottom 1 and the top surface of the bottom plate 6, respectively. The arrangement of the first I-beams 71 and the second I-beams 72 supports the ventilation chamber 7, thereby improving the service life of the ferrosilicon furnace.

[0037] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
