Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of converter steelmaking slide plate preparation technology, specifically a low-carbon magnesium zirconium carbon converter slide plate sintering device. Background Technology
[0002] The low-carbon magnesia-zirconium-carbon converter slide plate is a key refractory component in the converter steelmaking tapping process. It is made from granular aggregates such as coated fused magnesia-zirconium sand particles and high-purity magnesia sand, combined with co-ground powder containing metallic aluminum powder and silicon carbide powder, manufactured through a specific process. Its advantages are significant: its low carbon content meets the production requirements of low-carbon and ultra-low-carbon steel; it possesses excellent corrosion resistance, able to withstand the erosion of high-temperature molten steel and strongly alkaline slag; and it has good thermal shock stability, able to withstand frequent temperature changes. This slide plate greatly extends its service life, providing strong support for efficient and stable converter production. However, existing slide plate sintering devices still have some problems in their use:
[0003] In existing sintering apparatuses, such as the vacuum sintering apparatus described in application number 202321962790.2, the technical solution includes a sintering apparatus body, a cover plate on the top of the sintering apparatus body, a sintering assembly inside the sintering apparatus body, three supports at the bottom of the sintering apparatus body, a circular groove in the center of the top of the cover plate, and a sealing assembly at the bottom of the cover plate. This vacuum sintering apparatus, by setting up the sintering assembly, achieves the following: during the vacuum sintering process, the heating area of the magnetic material can be increased by the set heat-conducting rod, and the rotating plate allows the magnetic material to exchange heat with each other during sintering, resulting in more uniform heating and faster sintering speed.
[0004] However, in order to reduce refractory consumption and extend the service life of refractory at the converter tapping point, it is necessary to further improve the quality of the slide plate products. The ratio of raw materials during the sintering process of the slide plate is crucial. Existing technology lacks a precise control mechanism for the fineness of raw material powder. Due to the inability to effectively control the particle size of raw materials, it is difficult for the powder to achieve uniform distribution and full fusion during the sintering process, resulting in problems such as uneven density and unstable porosity in the internal structure of the slide plate.
[0005] In view of this, in-depth research was conducted on the above issues, which led to the creation of this case.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, an innovative design was implemented based on the existing sintering equipment. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a low-carbon magnesium zirconium carbon converter slide plate sintering device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability to guarantee the fineness of raw materials, resulting in uneven density and unstable porosity.

The particle size can be precisely controlled within 10-30μm, which meets the requirements of low-carbon slide plate sintering for the fineness of the raw material.
[0016] Preferably, both the right ends of the first gear and the second gear are connected to a crushing roller, and the crushing roller forms a grinding structure for the raw material powder fed from the raw material processing tank.
[0017] Using the above technical solution, two crushing rollers rotate in opposite directions to generate shearing force, which finely grinds the raw material powder, so that the standard deviation of the powder particle size distribution is ≤5μm.

The meshing of the first bevel gear 14 and the second bevel gear 15 drives the screw conveyor roller 16 to rotate, conveying the raw material to the crushing chamber 11 and initially crushing it. This reduces the particle size of the raw material to 50-100μm, laying the foundation for subsequent fine crushing.
[0036] A second servo motor 17 is fixedly installed on the outside of the bottom discharge port of the raw material processing tank 9, and a first gear 18 is connected to the output end of the second servo motor 17.
