Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furnace temperature detection technology, specifically a furnace for online detection of molten steel temperature based on spectral analysis. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional metal smelting furnaces typically employ contact temperature measurement methods, such as thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). However, contact temperature measurement methods require contact with the object being measured at high temperatures, which can easily damage the sensor and cause measurement errors. Furthermore, contact temperature measurement methods can only measure localized temperatures and cannot obtain the temperature distribution across the entire smelting area. Additionally, the sensors are susceptible to corrosion from molten slag and metal during the smelting process, resulting in a short sensor lifespan.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent with publication number CN222671260U discloses a metal smelting simulation furnace for spectral temperature measurement modeling, including an optical fiber focal length adjustment device at the top, an industrial environment simulation device in the middle, and a heating and smelting device at the bottom. The optical fiber focal length adjustment device uses optical fiber to receive spectral information and adopts a stacked module to realize lens focal length adjustment. Specifically, it includes an optical fiber base, an optical fiber chamber at the bottom of the optical fiber base, multiple stacked blocks below the optical fiber chamber, a lens assembly below the multiple stacked blocks, and an optical fiber receiver connected to the top of the optical fiber base, which is connected to a spectral analyzer.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned related technologies, the inventors have discovered at least the following problems: when adjusting the focal length of the lens, the aforementioned technologies require adding or removing stacked blocks, which is very cumbersome and not flexible enough.
[0005] Therefore, we propose a smelting furnace for online detection of molten steel temperature based on spectral analysis. Utility Model Content

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the knob can be turned when the screw needs to be rotated, thus facilitating the rotation of the screw.
[0022] Preferably, the outer wall of the inner cylinder is provided with scale lines.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when adjusting the focal length adjustment cylinder, the focal length of the lens can be accurately determined by observing the scale value corresponding to the scale line on the upper end of the outer cylinder.

[0037] This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0038] Please see Figures 1-4 A smelting furnace for online detection of molten steel temperature based on spectral analysis includes a furnace body 1, an optical fiber base 2, and a focus adjustment cylinder 3. The interior of the furnace body 1 is lined with quartz glass, and an extension cylinder 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the furnace body 1. The top of the extension cylinder 11 is provided with a lens mounting port 12, and a lens 13 is installed inside the lens mounting port 12. By setting up the quartz glass, the optical fiber base 2, and the lens 13, the spectral information of molten steel during smelting is focused onto the optical fiber receiver by the lens 13 through the quartz glass and the flue gas environment inside the furnace body 1. Then, it is transmitted to a spectral analyzer for analysis and processing to establish a temperature measurement model and thus realize the measurement of the smelting furnace temperature. This technology has been disclosed in prior art document CN222671260U, and will not be described in detail in this application.
[0039] Specifically, the focus adjustment cylinder 3 includes an outer cylinder 31 fixedly installed on the top of the extension cylinder 11 and an inner cylinder 32 slidably installed on the upper end of the outer cylinder 31. A lens retaining ring 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall at the lower end of the outer cylinder 31. The fiber optic base 2 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the inner cylinder 32. First connecting blocks 33 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner cylinder 32, and second connecting blocks 34 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer cylinder 31. A screw 35 is rotatably connected to the bottom of one of the first connecting blocks 33. The screw 35 is arranged parallel to the inner cylinder 32. The lower end of screw 35 is threadedly connected to one of the second connecting blocks 34. A bearing 37 is fixedly installed inside one of the first connecting blocks 33. Screw 35 is rotatably connected to the first connecting block 33 through the bearing 37. A threaded hole 39 adapted to screw 35 is opened inside one of the second connecting blocks 34. Screw 35 is threadedly connected to the second connecting block 34 through the threaded hole 39. A guide rod 38 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other first connecting block 33. The lower end of the guide rod 38 slides through the other second connecting block 34. By setting up the focal length adjustment cylinder 3, when the lens focal length needs to be adjusted, only screw 35 needs to be rotated. Through the cooperation of screw 35 and threaded hole 39, screw 35 moves up and down along the second connecting block 34. Screw 35 drives the first connecting block 33 to move, so that the first connecting block 33 drives the inner cylinder 32 to rise and fall along the outer cylinder 31. Thus, the total length of the focal length adjustment cylinder 3 can be adjusted, realizing rapid adjustment of the lens focal length, and the adjustment is more flexible.
[0040] Furthermore, a knob 310 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the screw 35. By setting the knob 310, the screw 35 can be rotated when it is necessary to rotate, thereby facilitating the rotation of the screw 35.
[0041] Furthermore, a scale line 311 is provided on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 32. By setting the scale line 311, when adjusting the focal length adjustment cylinder 3, the focal length of the lens can be accurately determined by observing the scale value corresponding to the scale line 311 on the upper end of the outer cylinder 31.
[0042] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0043] First, when the lens focal length needs to be adjusted, simply turn the knob 310 to make the knob 310 drive the screw 35 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the screw 35 and the threaded hole 39, the screw 35 moves up and down along the second connecting block 34. The screw 35 drives the first connecting block 33 to move, and the first connecting block 33 drives the inner cylinder 32 to rise and fall along the outer cylinder 31, thereby adjusting the total length of the focal length adjustment cylinder 3 and realizing the rapid adjustment of the lens focal length.
[0044] To accurately determine the focal length of the lens, a scale line 311 is set. When adjusting the focal length adjustment cylinder 3, the focal length of the lens can be determined by observing the scale value corresponding to the scale line 311 on the upper end of the outer cylinder 31.
[0045] In summary, this smelting furnace for online detection of molten steel temperature based on spectral analysis can achieve rapid and flexible adjustment of the lens focal length by setting the focal length adjustment cylinder 3.
[0046] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
