Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anlage mit einem feuerfest ausgekleideten metallurgischen Gefäß, insbesondere einem Stahlwerkskonverter, das an seinem oberen Ende mit einer Mündung versehen ist, die an einen im Abstand oberhalb der Mündung angeordneten Kamin mittels einer zwischen Mündung und Kamin einfügbaren Haube anschließbar ist.The invention relates to a system with a refractory lined metallurgical vessel, in particular a steelwork converter, which is provided at its upper end with an opening which can be connected to a chimney arranged at a distance above the opening by means of a hood which can be inserted between the opening and the chimney.

Um das metallurgische Gefäß ausmauern zu können, muß bei Gefäßen mit festem Boden das gesamte Ausmauerungsmaterial von oben in das Gefäß eingebracht werden. Bei einem Gefäß mit abnehmbarem Boden muß lediglich das Material zum Ausmauern bzw. Vergießen der Bodenfuge von oben in das Gefäß eingebracht werden.In order to be able to brick out the metallurgical vessel, in the case of vessels with a solid base, the entire lining material must be introduced into the vessel from above. In the case of a vessel with a removable bottom, only the material for bricking up or pouring the floor joint must be introduced into the vessel from above.

Um eine Zugänglichkeit der Mündung des Gefäßes zu erreichen, ist es bei Anlagen der eingangs beschriebenen Art (AT-B - 356 157, DE-B - 1583'307) bekannt, die zwischen Mündung und Kamin vorgesehene Haube seitlich zu verfahren oder zu heben. Bei Ausmauerungsarbeiten in dem metallurgischen Gefäß ist die Ausmauerungsmannschaft von aus dem Kamin herabfallenden Ansätzen, wie Schlackenstücken, gefährdet. Um eine solche Gefährdung zu verhindern, hat man die untere Kaminöffnung mit Blechen abgedeckt. Dies ist umständlich und zeitraubend. Beim Entfernen der Bleche wurde auf die Bleche herabgefallene Schlacke abgestreift, so daß die Schlacke in den frisch ausgemauerten Konverter fiel. Zum Zweck der Ausmauerung mußte man weiters in die Nähe der Mündung transportable Bühnenteile aufbauen, über welche Bühnenteile das Ausmauerungsmaterial vom Hallenkranbereich zur Mündung bringbar war. Zum Absenken des Ausmauerungsmaterials mußte ein eigenes Hebezeug an der Bühne montiert werden.In order to achieve access to the mouth of the vessel, it is known in systems of the type described at the beginning (AT-B - 356 157, DE-B - 1583'307) to move or lift the hood provided between the mouth and the chimney. When lining work in the metallurgical vessel, the lining team is at risk of deposits falling out of the chimney, such as pieces of slag. In order to prevent such a hazard, the lower chimney opening was covered with metal sheets. This is cumbersome and time consuming. When the sheets were removed, slag which had fallen down on the sheets was scraped off, so that the slag fell into the freshly bricked converter. For the purpose of brick lining, it was furthermore necessary to build transportable stage parts in the vicinity of the mouth, via which stage parts the lining material from the hall crane area to the mouth was feasible. To lower the lining material, a separate hoist had to be installed on the stage.

Die Erfindung bezweckt die Vermeidung dieser Nachteile und Schwierigkeiten und stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine Anlage der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, mit der eine Gefährdung der Ausmauerungsmannschaft ausgeschlossen ist und mit der es möglich ist, auf einfache zeitsparende Weise das Ausmauerungsmaterial in das metallurgische Gefäß einzubringen.The invention aims to avoid these disadvantages and difficulties and has as its object to create a system of the type described at the outset which does not endanger the lining team and with which it is possible to introduce the lining material into the metallurgical vessel in a simple, time-saving manner .

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß nach Entfernung der Haube in den zwischen der Mündung und dem Kamin befindlichen Raum ein den Kamin nach unten zu abdeckender Behälter mit mindestens einer verschließbaren Bodenöffnung mittels einer Trageinrichtung einbringbar ist, wobei die Trageinrichtung mit mindestens einem von seitlich neben der Mündung des Gefäßes bis oberhalb der Mündung des Gefäßes verfahrbaren Hebezeug ausgestattet ist.This object is achieved in that after removal of the hood in the space located between the mouth and the chimney a container to be covered down the chimney with at least one closable bottom opening can be introduced by means of a carrying device, the carrying device having at least one from the side next to it the lifting device can be moved from the mouth of the vessel to above the mouth of the vessel.

Der den Kamin abdeckende Behälter sorgt dafür, daß aus dem Kamin herabfallende Teile, wie Schlackenansätze, gesammelt werden und bei Entfernen des Behälters nicht mehr in das metallurgische Gefäß stürzen können. Das an der Trageinrichtung verfahrbar angeordnete Hebezeug gelangt bei Instellungbringen des Behälters automatisch in die Arbeitsposition; bei der seitlich neben dem Gefäß abgesetzte Ausmauerungsmaterialien in das Gefäß eingebracht werden können.The container covering the chimney ensures that parts falling down from the chimney, such as slag approaches, are collected and can no longer fall into the metallurgical vessel when the container is removed. The lifting device, which is movably arranged on the carrying device, automatically comes into the working position when the container is brought into position; in which lining materials placed to the side of the vessel can be introduced into the vessel.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Trageinrichtung als entlang von Schienen verfahrbarer Rahmen ausgebildet, an dem mindestens eine bis seitlich neben die Mündung des Gefäßes ragende Fahrschiene für das Hebezeug vorgesehen ist.According to a preferred embodiment, the support device is designed as a frame which can be moved along rails and on which at least one travel rail projecting up to the side next to the mouth of the vessel is provided for the hoist.

Für ein rationelles Arbeiten bei einfacher Konstruktion ist zweckmäßig die Fahrschiene nach beiden Seiten des Gefäßes bis seitlich dessen Mündung verlängert ausgebildet und mit zwei Hebezeugen ausgestattet.For efficient work with a simple construction, the travel rail is expediently extended on both sides of the vessel to the side of its mouth and equipped with two hoists.

Vorteilhaft sind zwei zueinander parallele Fahrschienen zur Aufnahme jeweils mindestens eines Hebezeuges vorgesehen.Two mutually parallel rails are advantageously provided for receiving at least one hoist.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Behälter von einem Trichter gebildet ist und eine zentral über der Mündung liegende, mittels eines Schiebers verschließbare Trichteröffnung aufweist, wobei die Fahrschiene knapp seitlich neben der Trichteröffnung angeordnet ist. Die trichterförmige Ausbildung des Behälters ermöglicht eine einfache Entleerung desselben durch Öffnen der Trichteröffnung. Dies kann bei . einem metallurgischen Gefäß mit abnehmbarem Boden vor Ansetzen des Bodens durch das Gefäß hindurch in den Schlackenkeller bzw. bei einem Gefäß mit festem Boden nach seitlichem Verfahren der Trageinrichtung erfolgen, wobei die angesammelte Schlacke in eine transportable Schurre fällt.A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the container is formed by a funnel and has a funnel opening which is located centrally above the mouth and can be closed by means of a slide, the travel rail being arranged just to the side of the funnel opening. The funnel-shaped design of the container enables it to be easily emptied by opening the funnel opening. This can happen with. a metallurgical vessel with a removable bottom before the bottom is placed through the vessel into the slag cellar or, in the case of a vessel with a solid bottom, after lateral movement of the carrying device, the accumulated slag falling into a transportable chute.

Eine Ausführungsform, bei der das Ausmauerungsmaterial in das Zentrum des metallurgischen Gefäßes bringbar ist, ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Behälter von zwei nebeneinanderliegenden Trichtern gebildet ist, wobei die Fahrschiene zwischen den Trichtern liegend in einer durch die vertikale Achse der Mündung gelegten Ebene angeordnet ist.An embodiment in which the lining material can be brought into the center of the metallurgical vessel is characterized in that the container is formed by two funnels lying next to one another, the running rail being arranged between the funnels in a plane through the vertical axis of the mouth.

Vorteilhaft ist die Trageinrichtung mit einer durch die Mündung in das Gefäß einbringbann Arbeitsbühne versehen, wodurch sich für metallurgische Gefäße mit einem festen Boden die Möglichkeit eröffnet, das Gefäß von oben her auszumauern, ohne ein eigenes Gerüst vorzusehen.The carrying device is advantageously provided with a working platform that can be introduced into the vessel through the mouth, which opens up the possibility for metallurgical vessels with a solid floor to remove the vessel from to brick up above without having to provide a scaffold.

Vorteilhaft ist die Trageinrichtung mit einem begehbaren Steg versehen, wodurch eine Beobachtung des Gefäßinneren von der Mündung des Gefäßes her möglich ist.The carrying device is advantageously provided with a walkable web, which makes it possible to observe the interior of the vessel from the mouth of the vessel.

Bei einer Anlage mit einer entlang von Schienen verfahrbaren Haube ist vorteilhaft die Trageinrichtung entlang der die Haube führenden Schienen verfahrbar und an die Haube bzw. ein die Haube tragendes Fahrwerk ankuppelbar.In the case of a system with a hood that can be moved along rails, the support device can advantageously be moved along the rails that guide the hood and can be coupled to the hood or to a chassis that supports the hood.

Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand dreier Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert, wobei Fig. 1 eine teilweise geschnittene Seitenansicht einer Konverteranlage in schematischer Darstellung.gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform zeigt. Fig. 2 stellt eine ebenfalls teilweise geschnittene Seitenansicht in Richtung des Pfeiles II der Fig. 1 dar. Die Fig. 3 und 4 bzw. 5 und 6 zeigen in zu den Fig. 1 und 2 analogen Darstellungen zwei weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of three exemplary embodiments, with FIG. 1 showing a partially sectioned side view of a converter system in a schematic representation according to a first embodiment. FIG. 2 shows a side view, likewise partially sectioned, in the direction of arrow II of FIG. 1. FIGS. 3 and 4 or 5 and 6 show two further advantageous embodiments in representations analogous to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Mit 1 ist ein um eine horizontale Achse 2 kippbarer Stahlwerkskonverter bezeichnet, dessen Mündung 3 sich bei aufrecht stehendem Konverter 1 unterhalb eines ortsfesten Kamins 4 befindet. Der Konverter 1 weist einen Stahlmantel 5 und innenseitig eine feuerfeste Auskleidung 6 auf. Der Kamin-4 endet in vertikalem Abstand 7 oberhalb der Mündung 3 des Konverters 1. Zwischen dem unteren Ende 8 des Kamines 4 und der Mündung 3 des Konverters 1 ist eine Haube 9 mittels eines Fahrwerkes 10 einbringbar, wobei das Fahrwerk 10 entlang von beiderseits des unteren Endes 8 des Kamines 4 angeordneten Schienen 11 verfahrbar ist. Die Haube 9 weist eine solche Abmessung auf, daß sie einerseits an die Mündung 3 des Konverters 1 und andererseits an das untere Ende 8 des Kamines 4 anschließt, so daß aus dem Konverter 1 austretende Abgase ohne Belästigung der Umwelt direkt in den Kamin 4 gelangen.1 designates a steelworks converter which can be tilted about a horizontal axis 2, the mouth 3 of which is located below a stationary chimney 4 when the converter 1 is upright. The converter 1 has a steel jacket 5 and a refractory lining 6 on the inside. The chimney-4 ends at a vertical distance 7 above the mouth 3 of the converter 1. Between the lower end 8 of the chimney 4 and the mouth 3 of the converter 1, a hood 9 can be inserted by means of a trolley 10, the trolley 10 along on both sides of the lower end 8 of the fireplace 4 arranged rails 11 is movable. The hood 9 has such a dimension that it connects on the one hand to the mouth 3 of the converter 1 and on the other hand to the lower end 8 of the chimney 4, so that exits from the converter 1 Exhaust gases get directly into the chimney 4 without disturbing the environment.

Entlang der die Haube 9 bzw. deren Fahrwerk 10 tragenden Schienen 11 ist erfindungsgemäß eine Trageinrichtung 12 mittels Räder 13 verfahrbar, welche Trageinrichtung 12 von einem knapp unterhalb des unteren Endes 8 des Kamins 4 in Stellung bringbaren, den Kamin peripher umgebenden Rahmen 14 gebildet ist. An diesem Rahmen sind an den Eckpunkten 15 vertikale Streben 16 vorgesehen, an denen die Räder 13 gelagert sind. Innerhalb des Rahmens 14 ist ein Behälter 17, der als Trichter ausgebildet ist, befestigt, dessen untere Trichteröffnung 18 zentral, d.h. in der durch die Mündung 3 gelegten vertikalen Achse 19 liegt. Die Trichteröffnung 18 ist mittels eines Schiebers 20, zu dessen Betätigung ein Handrad 21 vorgesehen ist, verschließbar. Die obere . Trichteröffnung 22 entspricht in Form und Größe dem unteren Ende 8 des Kamines 4.According to the invention, a support device 12 can be moved by means of wheels 13 along the rails 11 supporting the hood 9 or its undercarriage 10, which support device 12 is formed by a frame 14 which can be positioned just below the lower end 8 of the chimney 4 and surrounds the chimney peripherally. On this frame 15 vertical struts 16 are provided at the corner points, on which the wheels 13 are mounted. A container 17, which is designed as a funnel, is fastened within the frame 14, the lower funnel opening 18 of which is central, i.e. lies in the vertical axis 19 through the mouth 3. The funnel opening 18 can be closed by means of a slide 20, for the actuation of which a handwheel 21 is provided. The upper . Funnel opening 22 corresponds in shape and size to the lower end 8 of the chimney 4.

An dem Rahmen 14 ist seitlich der unteren Trichteröffnung 18 und dieser knapp benachbart eine Fahrschiene 23 montiert, die, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich ist, von oberhalb der Mündung 3 bis seitlich neben den Konverter 1 reicht. Entlang dieser Fahrschiene ist ein Hebezeug 24 zum Transport von Ausmauerungsmaterial 25 für den Konverter 1 verfahrbar.Mounted on the frame 14 on the side of the lower hopper opening 18 and just adjacent thereto is a travel rail 23 which, as can be seen in FIG. 1, extends from above the mouth 3 to the side next to the converter 1. A lifting device 24 for transporting lining material 25 for the converter 1 can be moved along this travel rail.

An der Trageinrichtung 12 ist weiters ein begehbarer Steg 26 befestigt, von dem aus bei über der Mündung 3 in Stellung gebrachter Trageinrichtung 12 der Innenraum 27 des Konverters 1 beobachtbar ist.A walkable web 26 is also attached to the carrying device 12, from which the interior 27 of the converter 1 can be observed when the carrying device 12 is positioned over the mouth 3.

Um einen eigenen Antrieb für die Trageinrichtung zu vermeiden, ist die Trageinrichtung mittels einer schematisch dargestellten Kupplung 28 an die verfahrbare Haube 9 kuppelbar. Sobald die Haube 9 mittels eines nicht dargestellten Antriebs von der Mündung 3 des Konverters 1 weg verfahren wird, gelangt die Trageinrichtung 12 mit dem Trichter 17 und dem Hebezeug 24 automatisch in die in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Arbeitsposition.In order to avoid a separate drive for the carrying device, the carrying device is attached to the movable hood by means of a schematically illustrated coupling 28 9 detachable. As soon as the hood 9 is moved away from the mouth 3 of the converter 1 by means of a drive (not shown), the carrying device 12 with the funnel 17 and the lifting device 24 automatically reaches the working position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

In Fig. 1 ist mit strichlierten Linien eine Verlängerung 29 der Fahrschiene 23 eingezeichnet, wodurch es möglich ist, zwei Hebezeuge 24, 24' entlang derselben Fahrschiene 23 von seitlich neben dem Konverter 1 bis oberhalb der Mündung 3 des Konverters zu verfahren. Diese Ausführungsform ist insbesondere für einen Konverter 1 mit festem Boden, der nur von oben ausgemauert werden kann, vorteilhaft. Für einen Konverter mit abnehmbarem Boden - solche Konverter werden vorzugsweise von unten her ausgemauert - genügt ein einziges Hebezeug 24, welches nur das Material zum Ausmauern und Vergießen der Fuge zwischen Boden und Konvertermantel in den Innenraum 27 des Konverters bringen muß.In Fig. 1, an extension 29 of the travel rail 23 is shown with dashed lines, which makes it possible to move two hoists 24, 24 'along the same travel rail 23 from the side next to the converter 1 to above the mouth 3 of the converter. This embodiment is particularly advantageous for a converter 1 with a solid floor that can only be bricked up from above. For a converter with a removable bottom - such converters are preferably bricked up from below - a single hoist 24 is sufficient, which only has to bring the material for bricking and grouting the joint between the floor and the converter jacket into the interior 27 of the converter.

Gemäß der in den Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der Behälter von zwei nebeneinanderliegenden Trichtern 17, 17' gebildet, wobei die oberen Öffnungen 22, 22' der Trichter einander flächenmäßig entsprechend dem unteren Ende 8 des Kamines 4 ergänzen. Die Trichter 17, 17' sind symmetrisch zu einer durch die vertikale Achse 19 des''Kamines 4 bzw. der Mündung 3 und parallel zu den Schienen 11 gelegten Ebene 30 ausgebildet. Zwischen den Trichtern 17, 17' ist in möglichst großem Abstand von der Mündung 3, also knapp unterhalb des unteren Endes 8 des Kamines 4, die Fahrschiene 23 für das Hebezeug 24 vorgesehen. Die Fahrschiene 23 liegt somit in der durch die vertikale Achse 19 der Mündung 3 gelegten Vertikalebene 30, wodurch das Hebezeug 24 genau zentrisch oberhalb der Mündung 3 des Konverters 1 in Stellung gebracht werden kann, so daß auch größere Paletten leicht in den Innenraum 27 des Konverters 1 abgesenkt werden können.According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the container is formed by two adjacent funnels 17, 17 ', the upper openings 22, 22' of the funnels complementing one another in terms of area corresponding to the lower end 8 of the chimney 4.
