Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a burn-through device, and more particularly to a device capable of burning through and connecting the blast furnace iron trough, belonging to the technical field of iron trough connection equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In blast furnace ironmaking, the work in front of the furnace is a crucial link in the normal operation of the blast furnace. The main tasks of this work are to ensure timely and complete removal of slag and iron, while maintaining the furnace equipment and the mud lining of the tapping trough and taphole. In actual production, accidents affecting normal blast furnace operation due to the maintenance and repair of the tapping trough, taphole mud lining, and small pits are common, increasing labor intensity and the probability of burns. Damage to the tapping trough is mainly caused by the repeated and frequent scouring and abrasion of the working lining by high-temperature molten iron and slag. The corrosion and harsh working conditions are related to the current method of burning through the blast furnace trough. Currently, the burning through operation is done manually. Workers hold one end of the oxygen-burning pipe and insert the other end into the trough to blow oxygen and melt it, thus burning through the solidified part of the trough and making it open. During this process, workers stand in front of the trough, which poses a safety hazard and is labor-intensive. Moreover, the size of the holes created by manual burning is unpredictable and uneven, which affects subsequent sealing and drainage. Therefore, a device that can evenly burn through and open the blast furnace trough is needed. Utility Model Content

[0012] See Figure 1 , 2 3 and Figure 4This utility model includes a positioning part, a long plate 1, a rotating part, a forward moving part, and a front baffle 10. The positioning part is disposed on the side wall of the long plate 1. The function of the positioning part is to ensure that the oxygen-burning tube 8 can be aligned with the iron trough. The rotating part is disposed on the top surface of the long plate 1. The rotating part can drive the oxygen-burning tube 8 to rotate circumferentially to burn through the iron trough, ensuring that the outline of the burned hole is clear, which facilitates the smooth flow of molten iron. The forward moving part is disposed on the rotating part. The forward moving part can drive the oxygen-burning tube 8 to gradually move forward in the iron trough, thereby burning through the iron trough. The front baffle 10 is disposed on the end face of the long plate 1 near the blast furnace iron trough.

A limiting strip is provided on the inner wall of both the front collar 2 and the rear collar 3. Limiting grooves are provided at both ends of the outer wall of the straight cylinder 4, and these grooves engage with the limiting strips on the inner walls of the front collar 2 and the rear collar 3. Under the support and limiting influence of the front collar 2 and the rear collar 3, the straight cylinder 4 can rotate in place. This causes the oxygen-burning tube 8 to rotate; a driven gear ring 7 is provided at the end of the outer wall of the straight cylinder 4 away from the blast furnace iron trough; the first motor 5 is mounted on the long plate 1, and a driving gear 6 is mounted on its output shaft, which meshes with the driven gear ring 7 for transmission; the first motor 5 can drive the driving gear 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 7 to rotate, and finally drives the straight cylinder 4 to rotate, and the rotating straight cylinder 4 drives the oxygen-burning tube 8 to rotate circumferentially, and the oxygen-burning tube 8 performs uniform melting treatment on the iron trough during the rotation process.

[0014] The straight cylinder 4 has a strip-shaped hole arranged radially inside, and the length of the strip-shaped hole in the radial direction of the straight cylinder 4 is equal to the radius of the straight cylinder 4; a pressure plate 9 is arranged inside the strip-shaped hole, and a spring is arranged between the pressure plate 9 and the end face of the strip-shaped hole near the axis of the straight cylinder 4; a threaded hole is arranged on the side wall of the straight cylinder 4, and a screw passes through the threaded hole on the side wall of the straight cylinder 4 and enters the strip-shaped hole of the straight cylinder 4; the oxygen-burning tube 8 passes through the strip-shaped hole of the straight cylinder 4, and the end of the screw presses against the outer wall of the oxygen-burning tube 8 inside the strip-shaped hole of the straight cylinder 4; The oxygen-burning tube 8 is located between the screw and the pressure plate 9; the pressure plate 9 provides an outward thrust to the oxygen-burning tube 8, and the screw is used to limit the position of the oxygen-burning tube 8. Therefore, the position of the oxygen-burning tube 8 can be fixed by the cooperation of the pressure plate 9 and the screw, so that it moves within a set circumferential trajectory when rotating.

The oxygen-burning tube 8 is clamped between the fluororubber pads on the outer walls of the clamping rollers 14 on both sides.

[0016] The positioning part includes four positioning mechanisms, which are respectively located at the four corners of the long plate 1. By adjusting the positioning mechanisms, the oxygen burning tube 8 can be aligned with the iron groove, ensuring that the oxygen burning tube 8 can be aligned with the iron groove and proceed to melt.

[0017] The positioning mechanism includes a first support rod 16, a second support rod 17, a long threaded rod 18, and a base 19.

[0018] Operating principle: Place this device on the foundation in front of the iron trench, adjust the position of the straight cylinder 4 to align with the pre-drilled position of the iron trench, then maintain the position of the straight cylinder 4 and adjust each long threaded rod 18 so that the base 19 touches the ground; at this time, the straight cylinder 4 is aligned with the front side of the preset burn-through position of the iron trench; then insert the oxygen-burning tube into the strip-shaped hole of the straight cylinder 4, adjust the position of the screw to adjust the position of the oxygen-burning tube 8, so that the distance between the axis of the oxygen-burning tube 8 and the axis of the straight cylinder 4 is equal to the approximate diameter of the preset burn-through hole in the iron trench, which makes the burn-through... The diameter of the hole is made as regular and uniform as possible. The oxygen-burning tube 8 is pushed to the front of the iron trough and then ignited to begin the melting operation on the iron trough. During this process, the first motor 5 drives the straight cylinder 4 to rotate 360 ​​degrees forward and then 360 degrees backward. This is repeated so that the flame at the head of the oxygen-burning tube 8 moves in a circle and forward to melt the iron trough. The second motor 15 drives the clamping roller 14 to rotate slowly, which drives the oxygen-burning tube 8 to move forward slowly. Until the oxygen-burning tube 8 burns through the iron trough, the first motor 5 is turned off, and the second motor reverses to pull out the oxygen-burning tube 8. Then the device is removed.
