Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel smelting equipment technology, specifically to a converter continuous casting molten steel purification control device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern steel production, the converter-continuous casting process is the mainstream production technology. The purity of molten steel, namely the content, size, shape, and distribution of non-metallic inclusions and the content of harmful gases (such as oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen), has a decisive impact on the mechanical properties, processing properties, and service performance of the final steel product. With the increasing demands for steel quality from downstream industries, especially in high-end steel sectors such as automobiles, home appliances, pipelines, and bearings, the control of molten steel purity is becoming increasingly stringent.
[0003] Existing technologies for traditional alloy addition have significant technical shortcomings, heavily relying on manual experience. Operators estimate and adjust the amount of alloy added for different steel grades and processes based solely on their vague memory and limited experience, observing subjective indicators such as molten steel color and flow rate. This lack of precise quantitative basis leads to significant operational uncertainty, resulting in drastic fluctuations in alloy yield. Excessive yield wastes alloy and increases costs; excessively low yield results in substandard steel composition, affecting mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, leading to unstable product quality and difficulty meeting the demands of the high-end market. This poses a severe challenge to enterprise production management and market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates a converter continuous casting molten steel purification control device according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising: a device base 1, The device base 1 includes a transfer ladle 17, and a wire feeding mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom end of the transfer ladle 17; The device base 1 also includes a hydraulic rod 13, and a steel ladle cover 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hydraulic rod 13; The wire feeding mechanism 3 includes a mounting box 31, and a third motor 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting box 31.
[0024] Connecting rods 32 are fixedly connected to both sides inside the mounting box 31. A ceramic guide tube 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 32 away from the mounting box 31. The end of the ceramic guide tube 33 away from the mounting box 31 passes through the transfer ladle 17 and is fixedly connected to the transfer ladle 17. An active wire guide wheel 35 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third motor 34. The end of the active wire guide wheel 35 away from the output shaft of the third motor 34 is rotatably connected to the mounting box 31. A passive wire guide wheel 36 is meshed with one side of the active wire guide wheel 35. Both sides of the passive wire guide wheel 36 are rotatably connected to the mounting box 31.
[0025] A laser spectral probe 15 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the steel ladle cover 14. Electromagnetic ultrasonic sensors 16 are evenly distributed in a ring at the bottom of the steel ladle cover 14 and are fixedly connected to the steel ladle cover 14.
[0026] A PLC controller 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the device base 1, and connecting shafts 18 are fixedly connected to both sides of the transfer ladle 17.
[0027] The end of the connecting shaft 18 away from the transfer ladle 17 is rotatably connected to the device base 1. The first motor 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side of the device base 1. The output shaft of the first motor 12 passes through the device base 1 and is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 18.
[0028] The bottom of the transfer ladle 17 is provided with a breathable brick layer 19, and an air inlet 110 is fixedly connected to the surface of the breathable brick layer 19. An air inlet hose 111 is fixedly connected to the air inlet 110.
[0029] In some examples, during the steel purification process, molten steel is first poured into a transfer ladle 17. A PLC controller 11 controls a hydraulic rod 13, which lowers the ladle cover 14, covering the top of the transfer ladle 17. A laser spectral probe 15, positioned at the bottom of the ladle cover 14, precisely analyzes the elemental composition of the molten steel. The laser spectral probe 15 can penetrate the oxide layer on the surface of the molten steel, detecting the steel composition at a depth of 300-500 mm below the surface, ensuring the representativeness and accuracy of the data. The laser spectral probe 15 is a SpectroLab S5 type probe. An electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor 16 is used to monitor the purity of the molten steel online. The electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor 16 is an Olympus Omniscan MX2 type sensor, which detects silicon and calcium... The wire is threaded between the active guide wheel 35 and the passive guide wheel 36. The active guide wheel 35 is driven to rotate by the third motor 34, which in turn drives the passive guide wheel 36 to rotate, feeding the silicon-calcium wire into the ceramic guide tube 33 and into the transfer ladle 17. After entering the molten steel, the silicon-calcium wire reacts with oxygen and oxides in the steel to generate calcium oxide, reducing the oxide content in the steel, improving the purity of the steel, helping to increase the alloy yield, and reducing production costs. Argon gas is introduced through the air inlet 110. Blowing in argon gas can promote the discharge of gases from the molten steel, reduce the content of gases such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen in the steel, and the argon blowing and stirring can make the composition and temperature of the molten steel more uniform, preventing local overheating or component segregation. By setting a permeable brick layer 19 at the bottom of the transfer ladle 17, the contact area between the molten steel and argon gas or slag can be increased, promoting deoxidation, desulfurization, dephosphorization and other reactions.
[0030] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a powder spraying mechanism 2 is provided at the upper end of the device base 1. The powder spraying mechanism 2 includes a first electric push rod 21. The output end of the first electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected to a first mounting plate 22. The bottom end of the first mounting plate 22 is fixedly connected to a second electric push rod 23. The output end of the second electric push rod 23 is fixedly connected to a second mounting plate 24.
[0031] A second motor 25 is fixedly connected to one end of the upper part of the second mounting plate 24. A roller 26 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 25. A rotary joint 27 is rotatably connected to another end of the upper part of the second mounting plate 24. A rotary spray gun 28 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotary joint 27. A powder inlet hose 29 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotary joint 27. The roller 26 is movably connected to the rotary joint 27. In some examples, the first electric push rod 21 drives the second electric push rod 23 to move above the transfer ladle 17. The second electric push rod 23 drives the second mounting plate 24 to descend, allowing the rotary spray gun 28 to enter the molten steel. Alloy powder is injected into the rotary spray gun 28 through the powder inlet hose 29. The alloy powder reacts chemically with impurities in the molten steel, refining the steel and further improving its quality. The second motor 25 drives the roller 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotary joint 27 to rotate, allowing the rotary spray gun 28 to rotate inside the molten steel. This results in a more uniform spraying of the alloy powder. The rotary spray gun 28 is a Paul Wurth PSG-200 type spray gun.
