Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of blast furnace equipment technology, and in particular to a blast furnace crude gas pipeline system. Background Technology

[0002] During blast furnace production, a large amount of high-temperature, high-pressure dust-laden gas is generated, discharged from the furnace top, and enters the dust collector through the crude gas pipeline for coarse dust removal. The blast furnace top, crude gas pipeline, and dust collector experience stress due to thermal expansion and contraction. In the early stages of blast furnace production, this stress is relatively small and within the structural tolerance range. However, after years of continuous production, some linings of the crude gas dust removal system may crack or even detach, further increasing the temperature of the crude gas pipeline and dust collector, thus further increasing the stress on these components and exacerbating the deformation of the crude gas pipeline.

[0003] Traditional blast furnace raw gas pipelines experience significant stress during the later stages of blast furnace production, which can lead to weld cracking and gas leakage, or lateral displacement of the riser pipes causing collisions with the furnace roof structure, affecting structural stability. Therefore, a new blast furnace raw gas pipeline system is urgently needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Each riser branch is connected to an outlet pipe in a one-to-one correspondence. After the riser branches converge, they are connected to the downcomer through the riser main pipe. The second compensator is installed on the riser main pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the ascending pipe and the descending pipe are connected by an arc-shaped connecting pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the second and third compensators are unidirectional hinge type compensators.

[0012] Furthermore, the downcomer is connected to the dust collector via the dust collector inlet pipe, and a fourth compensator is provided on the dust collector inlet pipe.

[0031] As per the instruction manual Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a blast furnace crude gas pipeline system, including an outlet pipe 2, an ascending pipe 3, and a descending pipe 4 arranged sequentially along the blast furnace gas flow direction. The inlet end of the outlet pipe 2 is connected to the blast furnace top 1, and the outlet end of the descending pipe 4 is connected to a dust collector 5.

[0032] Preferably, it also includes a second support 7, on which the descending tube 4 is supported.

[0033] Specifically, the first support 6 is located near the blast furnace top 1, and one end of the outlet pipe 2 is connected to the blast furnace top 1. The blast furnace gas generated at the blast furnace top 1 enters the dust collector 5 for dust removal after passing through the outlet pipe 2, the riser pipe 3, and the downcomer pipe 4. In this embodiment, the first support 6 is preferably located on the main platform of the furnace top, and the riser pipe 3 is supported on the main platform of the furnace top.

[0034] In an optimized implementation, the first compensator 21 is preferably a combination of a universal hinge and an axial joint. Specifically, the first compensator 21 includes a connecting pipe body and two corrugated pipe sections. Both ends of the connecting pipe body are connected to the outlet pipe. The two corrugated pipe sections are spaced apart on the connecting pipe body, and a universal ring is fitted onto one of the corrugated pipe sections. The first compensator 21 can withstand combined axial and radial displacements, absorb stress between the blast furnace and the crude gas pipeline, and improve the stability of the guide pipe.

[0035] Specifically, see the instruction manual. Figure 4-6 As shown, the connector body includes a first connector section 211, a second connector section 212, and a third connector section 213 arranged sequentially. Two corrugated pipe sections are respectively referred to as the first corrugated pipe section 214 and the second corrugated pipe section 215. The first corrugated pipe section 214 is located between and connected to the first connector section 211 and the second connector section 212. The second corrugated pipe section 215 is located between and connected to the second connector section 212 and the third connector section 213. The first connector section 211, the second connector section 212, the third connector section 213, the first corrugated pipe section 214, and the second corrugated pipe section 215 are connected to form a medium channel. The third connector section 213 is also connected to a wrapping connector 216. The first connector section 211 and the wrapping connector 216 are respectively connected to the outlet pipe 2. A universal ring 217 is sleeved on the first corrugated pipe section 214. The universal ring 217 is connected to the first corrugated pipe section 214 through a pin 218. The universal joint can absorb the angular and lateral displacement of the pipeline caused by thermal deformation or mechanical vibration, and the second corrugated pipe section 215 can absorb the linear expansion and contraction of the pipeline caused by temperature changes.

[0036] Specifically, the second corrugated pipe section 215 is also provided with a reinforcing ring 219.

[0037] Specifically, the first connecting pipe section is provided with a mounting base 2110, and the universal ring 217 is connected to a secondary pull plate 2111, which is connected to the mounting base 2110.

[0038] Specifically, both ends of the second corrugated pipe section 215 are provided with stiffening plates 2112.

A filler layer 2113 is provided between the second corrugated pipe section 215 and the connecting pipe section to achieve a sealing effect. A tie rod 2114 is connected between the two stiffening plates 2112. To meet the requirements of expansion and contraction, the tie rod 2114 is preferably a telescopic rod. A filler material 2115 is provided between the second connecting pipe section 212 and the third connecting pipe section 213 to further achieve a sealing effect. A guide tube 2116 is provided on the outside of the connection between the second connecting pipe section 212 and the third connecting pipe section 213.

[0039] The first corrugated pipe section 214 and the second corrugated pipe section 215 have the same structure, and will not be described again here.

[0040] In the optimized implementation, there are two third compensators 41, which are respectively located at both ends of the downcomer 4. One third compensator 41 is located at the end of the downcomer 4 closest to the upcomer 3, and the other third compensator 41 is located at the end of the downcomer 4 closest to the dust collector 5.

[0041] Specifically, the second bracket 7 is positioned between the two third compensators 41. To ensure better support, the second bracket 7 is supported in the middle of the downcomer 4.

[0042] As one of the specific implementation methods, the third compensator 41 is preferably a one-way hinge type compensator. The one-way hinge type compensator is installed on the downcomer 4. The one-way hinge type compensator is a compensation device used to absorb the angular displacement of the pipeline (that is, rotation in a single plane). It adapts to the thermal expansion and contraction or vibration of the pipeline by rotating the hinge structure, and allows angular displacement to occur in a plane.

[0043] In some embodiments, the two third compensators 41 may be compensators of different models.

[0044] In an optimized implementation, the riser pipe 3 includes four riser branch pipes 32 and one riser main pipe 33. Four outlet pipes 2 are connected to the blast furnace top 1, each outlet pipe 2 connecting to one riser branch pipe 32. The riser branch pipes 32 converge in pairs to form a single port, which connects to the riser main pipe 33. The riser main pipe 33 is connected to the downcomer pipe 4. Each outlet pipe 2 is equipped with a first compensator 21, and a second compensator 31 is installed on the riser main pipe 33. The first compensator 21 on the outlet pipe 2 can absorb the deformation of the blast furnace shell caused by thermal expansion and contraction, and reduce the stress exerted by the blast furnace shell on the outlet pipes 2 and the riser pipe 3.

[0045] Specifically, the rising branch pipes 32 are evenly distributed on the blast furnace top 1. The main platform of the furnace top is provided with four support parts 61, and the bottom of each rising branch pipe 32 is respectively set on the support part 61. The pipe load is transferred to the blast furnace foundation through the furnace frame. The support part 61 is supported by a fixed support.

[0046] As one specific implementation, the second compensator 31 is preferably a one-way hinge type compensator.

[0047] The second compensator 31 and the two third compensators 41 work together to absorb the angular displacement of the pipeline between the compensators during thermal expansion and contraction, reduce the stress between the pipelines, and improve the structural stability.

[0048] In an optimized implementation, the ascending pipe 3 and the descending pipe 4 are connected by an arc-shaped connecting pipe 8. The two ends of the arc-shaped connecting pipe 8 are connected to the ascending main pipe 33 and the descending pipe 4 respectively. The connection between the ascending main pipe 33 and the descending pipe 4 via the arc-shaped connecting pipe provides natural compensation, initially compensating for pipe deformation caused by thermal expansion and contraction, preventing pipe stress cracking, and also buffering vibrations to protect the stability of the pipe connection.

[0049] Specifically, the arc-shaped connecting pipe 8 is also connected to a vent pipe 81, and the vent pipe 81 is equipped with a vent valve 82 for venting the gas from the furnace top.

[0050] In an optimized implementation, the downcomer 4 is connected to the dust collector 5 via the dust collector inlet pipe 9, and the dust collector inlet pipe 9 is equipped with a fourth compensator 91.

[0051] Specifically, the dust collector 5 has a third support 51 on its housing, the dust collector inlet pipe 9 is supported on the third support 51, the third support 51 has a connecting part, the dust collector inlet pipe 9 is fixed on the connecting part, and the fourth compensator 91 is disposed between the connecting part and the dust collector inlet end.

[0052] As one specific implementation, the fourth compensator 91 is preferably an axial compensator, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the dust collector inlet pipe 9. The axial compensator is used to absorb axial displacement caused by temperature changes, mechanical vibration, or pressure fluctuations. The axial compensator can expand and contract along the pipeline axis, while reducing stress on the pipeline. In this embodiment, the axial compensator can be a bellows compensator.

[0053] Preferably, the dust collector 5 is a gravity dust collector or a cyclone dust collector.

[0054] Preferably, a gas shut-off valve 92 is provided on the inlet pipe of the dust collector. The gas shut-off valve is preferably a spectacle-type gas shut-off valve, used to shut off the gas supply during maintenance. The gas shut-off valve is located below the fourth compensator.

[0055] This application optimizes the outlet pipe 2, riser pipe 3, downcomer pipe 4, first support 6, second support 7, and compensator to reduce the stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the blast furnace, various pipelines, and dust collector 5, reduce the lateral displacement of the riser pipe 3, reduce the occurrence of weld cracking between the blast furnace, various pipelines, and dust collector 5, and improve structural stability.

[0056] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0057] Those skilled in the art will understand that this invention can be implemented in many other specific forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention.
