Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of furnace side leakage technology, and in particular to a device for detecting the location of gas leakage during furnace hearth tamping. Background Technology

[0002] During blast furnace construction, the gaps between the hearth carbon bricks and the cooling walls are filled with rammed earth and compacted with a pneumatic hammer. However, since the rammed earth is a loose material, it cannot achieve the same density as the carbon bricks no matter how much it is pounded.

[0003] After the blast furnace is put into operation, the rammed charge gradually solidifies, forming tiny cracks and gaps. When high-temperature gas leaks into the furnace, it creates thermal resistance, disrupting the hearth heat transfer system. This leads to an increase in the temperature of the carbon bricks on the hearth sidewalls, accelerating the erosion of the carbon bricks by molten iron and shortening the lifespan of the blast furnace hearth. Therefore, it is necessary to detect gas leakage within the hearth rammed charge, pinpoint its exact location, and implement appropriate mitigation measures. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 A device for detecting the location of gas leakage in the rammed material of a furnace hearth includes a cooling wall 1. The inner wall of the cooling wall 1 is stacked with carbon bricks 2 distributed at equal intervals. The gaps between the carbon bricks 2 and the outer wall between the cooling wall 1 and the carbon bricks 2 are filled with rammed material 3. A sensor outlet is provided on one side of the outer wall of the cooling wall 1. An optical fiber temperature measurement structure 5 is provided near the carbon bricks 2 in the rammed material 3. A heating structure 4 is provided at the center of the cooling wall 1 and the carbon bricks 2. A high-temperature distributed optical fiber is connected to the optical fiber temperature measurement host through an optical fiber coupler. The heat flow is detected by the optical fiber temperature measurement. The heat flow is detected by contacting the distributed optical fiber through the gaps in the rammed material 3. The location where the rammed material 3 is not completely sealed is marked.

[0026] The heating structure 4 includes a heat preservation box 6, a connecting pipe 9 connected to the center of one end of the heat preservation box 6, and a central plate 7 connected to the other end of the connecting pipe 9.

[0027] The interior of the central plate 7 is hollow, and the outer side wall of the central plate 7 is provided with air outlet holes 10 distributed at equal intervals. After the carbon brick 2 and the ramming material 3 are assembled, the test is carried out. The fan 11 and the electric heater 14 are started. The fan 11 draws the outside air through the filter 12 and delivers it into the heat preservation box 6. The electric heater 14 inside the heat preservation box 6 heats the inside of the heat preservation box 6. Then the hot air enters the central plate 7. The hot air is sprayed out onto the carbon brick 2 through the air outlet holes 10 on the central plate 7 to facilitate heat leakage.

[0028] An electric heater 14 is installed on the inner wall of the heat preservation box 6, and the two ends of the connecting pipe 9 are connected to the heat preservation box 6 and the central plate 7 respectively.

[0029] Support legs 8 are installed on both outer walls of the heat preservation box 6 and one outer wall of the central tray 7, and one end of the outer wall of the support leg 8 is in contact with the outer wall of the carbon brick 2.

[0030] A fan 11 is installed on the top outer wall of the heat preservation box 6, and the output end of the fan 11 is connected to a conveying pipe 13, the other end of the conveying pipe 13 being connected to the heat preservation box 6.

[0031] The input end of the blower 11 is connected to a filter 12, which facilitates the filtration and adsorption of the incoming gas.

[0032] The electric heater 14, the fan 11, and the fiber optic temperature measuring host are connected to a switch via wires, and the switch is connected to a power source via wires.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The fiber optic temperature measurement structure includes a high-temperature distributed fiber optic sensor, a fiber optic coupler, and a fiber optic temperature measurement host installed in the tamping material 3.

Compared with traditional fiber optic temperature measurement, the introduction of fiber optics solves the problems of sensor temperature resistance and signal transmission anti-interference in high-temperature environments.

[0035] Working principle: During use, the high-temperature distributed optical fiber is placed in the tamping material 3 during the blast furnace construction process. After the carbon brick 2 and the tamping material 3 are assembled, a test is conducted. The blower 11 and the electric heater 14 are started. The blower 11 draws in the outside gas through the filter 12 and delivers it to the inside of the insulation box 6. The electric heater 14 inside the insulation box 6 heats the inside of the insulation box 6. Then the hot gas enters the concentrator 7. The hot gas is sprayed onto the carbon brick 2 through the air outlet 10 on the concentrator 7. The high-temperature distributed optical fiber is connected to the optical fiber temperature measurement host through the optical fiber coupler. Using optical fiber temperature measurement, the heat flow comes into contact with the distributed optical fiber through the gaps in the tamping material 3. The location where the tamping material 3 is not completely sealed is marked, which is convenient for finding the leak point. Fiber optic temperature measurement principle: A non-contact (or indirect contact) temperature measurement technology that combines the transmission characteristics of optical fiber and the principle of radiation temperature measurement. It is particularly suitable for the extreme environment of blast furnace with high temperature, dust, strong electromagnetic interference and narrow space.

Compared with traditional optical fiber temperature measurement, the introduction of optical fiber solves the problems of sensor temperature resistance and signal transmission anti-interference in high-temperature environments.
