Background
The heat loss of the hearth of the gasification furnace of the Europe and metallurgy furnace is a common accident of non-blast furnace iron-smelting Europe and metallurgy furnace production, and the vicious accidents of furnace cooling and hearth freezing can be caused by poor treatment of the hearth due to the heat loss of the hearth under the common condition. The method generally adopted for treating the accidents of furnace cooling and furnace hearth freezing is to connect the iron notch of the furnace hearth with the tuyere in the shortest time so as to melt the iron slag shell between the furnace hearth and the tuyere, and the purpose is that the molten liquid iron slag in the tuyere area can smoothly flow into the iron notch area after air supply and finally flows out from the iron notch. The conventional method for treating the slag iron of the hearth from the iron notch is that an operator in front of the furnace holds an oxygen pipe to continuously burn the iron notch below an air port or embed the oxygen gun into a channel of the iron notch, air and oxygen are supplied, and the condensate in the furnace is rapidly burned and melted, so that the speed of treating the hearth accident process of the Ou-smelting furnace is accelerated. Although the speed of treating the condensate by burying the oxygen lance in the iron notch is high and the effect is good, the method is more and more widely applied. However, because the oxygen lance is buried in the taphole, the temperature and the gas pressure cannot be monitored, if the operation of an operator is not standard or the time and the oxygen amount are not properly controlled, the ceramic cup and the carbon brick in the taphole area of the furnace hearth can be damaged, and the cooling wall in the taphole area can be burned seriously.

When the oxygen lance is used for treating slag iron and is not discharged from an iron notch, the oxygen lance is arranged on a tapping machine through a screw rod, the oxygen lance is jacked into a hole channel of the iron notch by the tapping machine, a asbestos rope blocks a hole between the oxygen lance and the hole channel of the iron notch, oxygen consumption is controlled from an oxygen system to burn and melt the slag iron in a furnace hearth, compressed air is introduced from a compressed air system to cool an oxygen lance body, the temperature of the oxygen lance is detected from a temperature display system, and the burning loss of the oxygen lance is prevented. The invention can treat the production problem that the smelting reduction non-blast furnace ironmaking gasification furnace hearth is lack of heat and the furnace cooling slag iron can not be discharged from the iron notch, can completely discharge the slag iron mixture solidified in the hearth after being burnt, quickly activate the hearth, quickly recover the working state of the hearth, quickly recover the normal production, add a thermocouple and a display instrument on a common oxygen lance, can effectively monitor the front end temperature of the iron notch, can judge the melting state of the slag iron and the working state of the oxygen lance through the temperature on the display instrument, comprehensively judge the combustion amount of coke above the iron notch and calculate the theoretical combustion temperature after the combustion amount of the coke through the oxygen amount of compressed air, thereby achieving the purpose of studying and judging the melting amount of the slag iron.
