Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of blast furnace charging devices, specifically a sintering feeding device for a transfer station in front of the blast furnace. Background Technology

[0002] During the sintering process in the blast furnace, due to limitations in space and facilities, it is necessary to feed the two blast furnaces through a transfer station in front of the blast furnace. The sinter is transported by a transport car to the hopper of the feeding device, and then falls onto the charging belt of the blast furnace via the feeding device. The feeding port of the feeding device needs to switch to the charging belt of the blast furnace, which seriously affects the feeding time and requires frequent start-stop of the transport belt. Chinese patent CN219970802U discloses a raw material workshop feeding hopper, including a main feeding pipe and two branch feeding pipes, which solves the problem of needing to switch the transport belt and can quickly feed the sinter. However, this patent sets branch feeding port flaps in the middle of the two branch feeding pipes. The flaps set in the branch feeding pipes affect the smooth falling of the sinter and are prone to blockage. The flaps can be locked, and the frequency of opening the maintenance door on the branch feeding pipe for cleaning and maintenance is too high. Therefore, a sintering feeding device in front of the blast furnace transfer station that can achieve material distribution and smooth material falling is needed. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 The sintering feeding device shown includes a receiving hopper 1, which is attached to the bottom of the sintering material conveyor belt. The bottom of the receiving hopper 1 is fixedly connected to two feeding pipes 2, which are arranged symmetrically in an inverted V shape and are not interconnected. A rotatable flip plate 3 is provided on the receiving hopper 1, which can close or open the feeding pipes 2. Two support bars 1-2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the hopper body 1-1 of the receiving hopper 1 to limit and support the flip plate 3. When the flip plate 3 overlaps the support bars 1-2, the feeding pipe 2 below the support bars 1-2 is in a closed state, and the feeding device drops material through the feeding pipe 2 on the other side. The flip plate 3 is set on the receiving hopper 1 by a rotating shaft 3-1 and is located directly above the intersection of the two feeding pipes 2. A positioning bracket 1-3 is provided on the outside of the receiving hopper 1 to lock and position the end of the rotating shaft 3-1, thereby positioning the flip plate 3 and keeping it in the set state so that it does not shift due to the impact of the sintering material.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the flip plate 3 also includes a baffle 3-2, a wear-resistant plate 3-3, and a positioning block 3-4. The baffle 3-2 has a through hole at its end, through which it passes onto the rotating shaft 3-1. The through hole has a keyway or flat groove that mates with the rotating shaft 3-1, allowing the baffle 3-2 to be fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3-1 and rotate synchronously. Furthermore, multiple wear-resistant plates 3-3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the baffle 3-2 to ensure the baffle 3-2 is wear-resistant and allows the sintered material to easily slide off. The positioning block 3-4 is hinged to the end of the rotating shaft 3-1 via a hinge pin 3-5 and can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 3-1. The positioning block 3-4 is adapted to the positioning seat 1-3 for locking and positioning the flip plate 3, allowing it to flip... The rotating plate 3 is kept in the set position to ensure the replenishment of sintering material; the positioning block 3-4 and the baffle 3-2 are set on the same plane, and the operator can use the positioning block 3-4 to know the real-time position of the baffle 3-2. A connecting part 3-4-1, a clamping part 3-4-2, and a driving part 3-4-3 are sequentially arranged along the axis of the positioning block 3-4. The connecting part 3-4-1 is hinged to the rotating shaft 3-1 via a hinge pin 3-5. The clamping part 3-4-2 is used to position the baffle 3-2 on the positioning seat 1-3. The driving part 3-4-3 can be connected to a driving device to drive the positioning block 3-4 to rotate around the hinge pin 3-5 to disengage or clamp onto the positioning seat 1-3. Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the driving device in this embodiment is a shift fork 4, which is manually operated. It includes a hand lever 4-1, a shift block 4-2, and a connecting shaft 4-3. The shift block 4-2 is located at the end of the hand lever 4-1, and the free end of the shift block 4-2 is provided with a U-shaped groove. The connecting shaft 4-3 is fixedly located at the opening of the U-shaped groove. The driving part 3-4-3 is provided with a T-shaped groove that matches the shift fork 4. The driving part 3-4-3 is fitted into the U-shaped groove, and the connecting shaft 4-3 is fitted into the T-shaped groove. The operator holds the hand lever 4-1 and fits the shift fork 4 onto the outside of the driving part 3-4-3. The operator can then rotate the positioning block 3-4 to disengage it or fit it onto the positioning seat 1-3. After the operation is completed, the shift fork 4 can be removed and placed away. The embodiment of this application is a modification scheme, which is suitable for situations where the replenishment of sintering material is large. Currently, the flipping plate 3 flips approximately once every 4 hours, so frequent operation is not required. If the flipping plate 3 needs to be flipped frequently, the drive device can be controlled by an electronic control system to control the power device.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning bracket 1-3 includes a fixing plate 1-3-1 and positioning blocks 1-3-2. The three positioning blocks 1-3-2 are fixedly arranged in a fan shape on the fixing plate 1-3-1. The fixing plate 1-3-1 is fixed on the receiving hopper 1. The middle positioning block 1-3-2 is located at the intersection of the two feeding pipes 2. The included angle between two adjacent positioning blocks 1-3-2 is set between 35° and 45°, according to the required tilt angle of the flipping plate 3. The height of the middle positioning block 1-3-2 is higher than that of the positioning blocks 1-3-2 on both sides, ensuring that when the flipping plate 3 is in the central position, the positioning block 3-4 will not fall off due to the impact and vibration of the sintering material. When the flipping plate 3 is on one side, the positioning block 3-4 can be locked on the positioning block 1-3-2. At the same time, the flipping plate 3 is supported on the support bar 1-2 for double positioning, and the vibration generated by the impact of the sintering material is small.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the feeding pipe 2 includes a pipe body 2-1 and wear-resistant liners 2-2. The pipe body 2-1 is a rectangular pipe body arranged at an inclination. The sintered material slides down along the front, rear, and lower sides of the inner surface of the rectangular pipe body. To enhance the service life of the feeding pipe 2 and reduce the sliding friction of the sintered material, in this embodiment, multiple wear-resistant liners 2-2 are fixedly installed on the front, rear, and lower sides of the inner surface of the rectangular pipe body with bolts. The wear-resistant liners 2-2 are ceramic liners. The receiving hopper 1 is also provided with an inspection door 1-4. The inspection door 1-4 is located on the front side of the hopper body 1-1 and above the rotating shaft 3-1. The hopper body 1-1 is also provided with reinforcing ribs 1-1-1 around the rotating shaft 3-1. The two reinforcing ribs 1-1-1 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the hopper body 1-1 to enhance the strength of the hopper body 1-1 and facilitate the opening of the mounting holes for the rotating shaft 3-1.

[0029] Workflow: Based on the actual situation of the blast furnace requiring refueling, the worker uses a fork to adjust the tilting plate to the set position. The positioning block of the wear-resistant plate is engaged with the positioning block in the middle of the positioning seat. At this time, the tilting plate is in a vertical position, and the refueling device can simultaneously feed material to two refueling pipes, enabling simultaneous refueling of two blast furnaces. The worker then uses the fork to rotate the positioning block, moving it to the positioning block on either side of the positioning seat. At this time, the tilting plate is positioned above the refueling pipe on the opposite side of the positioning block, and the tilting plate overlaps the support bar of the receiving hopper. The refueling device feeds material through the refueling pipe on the same side as the positioning block, refueling only one blast furnace.

The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; however, these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
