Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arc furnace with at least one electrode support arm according to the preamble of claim 1 or according to the preamble of claim 15.
  • the current is supplied to the electrodes via power cables and high-current tubes or solid busbars attached to the electrode support arm of the relevant electrode.
  • the object of the invention is to simplify the construction required for the current supply in an arc furnace of the type mentioned above.
  • a box profile or tubular profile made of steel i.e.
  • Electrode support arm formed from a ferromagnetic material may be possible to make the high-current tubes or busbars attached to it unnecessary and still keep the magnetic losses low.
  • fault current paths are to be avoided and the electrode current is to be fed to the contact jaw of the electrode via a defined path.
  • the symmetry of the three phases should also be substantially maintained, i.e. the impedance of the power supply for the three electrodes must be matched to one another.
  • a simple measure is to avoid reactance asymmetry of the live parts.
  • Claim 15 specifically defines an arc furnace with three electrode support arms arranged approximately parallel to one another in approximately one plane, with at least one phase being formed with at least one loop to avoid a reactance asymmetry of the high-current conductor.
  • the electrode support arm is provided on the outside with at least part of its length with an electrically highly conductive layer, such as copper or aluminum.
  • the area in which the preferably plated-on layer with good electrical conductivity is present serves as a high-current conductor for the electrode current. Since the electrically highly conductive layer is electrically connected to the box or tubular profile made of steel and an actuating device and an actuating rod for the electrode clamping device are present within the supporting arm, it is necessary to electrically isolate the electrode clamping bracket from the electrode supporting arm in order to avoid fault current paths.
  • the actuating rod at the end on the electrode side should also be insulated from the electrode support arm.
  • the loop provided according to the invention is located between the transformer of the arc furnace and the relevant electrode support arm, in particular the middle electrode support arm. This measure makes it possible to dispense with the additional busbar of the middle electrode support arm and the arrangement of this busbar in the sense of an equilateral triangle with respect to the other two electrode support arms.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show an arc furnace 1 with three electrode support arms 2, 3, 4 arranged approximately parallel to one another, of which only the electrode support arms 3 and 4 are shown in the sectional view according to FIG. 1.
  • the electrode support arms can be raised and lowered in a known manner by the lifting column 5 and can be pivoted to the side about an axis 7 by means of a portal 6 in which the lifting columns 5 are guided.
  • Each electrode support arm is provided with an electrode clamping device 8 which contains a contact jaw 9 which is supported on the electrode support arm and through which an electrode 10 on the electrode support arm is clamped and is supplied with current.
  • the electrodes 10 are so-called combination electrodes with a metallic upper part and a screwable one. the lower part subject to erosion.
  • the two outer support arms 2 and 4 are over their entire length, the middle support arm 3 only over part of its length from the electrode-side end with an electrically highly conductive layer 11 or 12 made of copper or aluminum provided, which is shown hatched in FIGS. 1 and 2 in each case only at the end of the relevant layer.
  • a high-current tube 14 is fastened on the middle electrode support arm 3 by means of support arms 13 and is electrically connected to the electrode support arm 3 in the area of the electrode support arm 3 which is provided with the highly conductive layer 12.
  • connecting terminals 15 for high-current cables 16 are provided, which are connected to a transformer (not shown) and supply the current for the electrodes 10.
  • the electrode support arms 2 to 4 are each electrically insulated from the associated lifting column 5. The insulation is indicated in Fig. 1 by an insulating plate 17.
  • the support arms have a box-shaped profile and, in addition to cooling channels for a cooling liquid, such as water, contain a device for actuating the electrode clamping device. Details of the structure of the electrode arm 4 and the clamping device 8 will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the electrode support arm 4 is formed by a box profile made of, for example, 20 mm thick steel sheet 18, which is provided on the outside of the electrode support arm with an electrically highly conductive layer 11.
  • the layer 11 is applied over the entire length around the support arm, in the electrode support arm 3 it is limited to the area at the electrode end shown in FIG. 2.
  • a copper layer 11 with a thickness of 4 mm was plated onto a steel layer 18 with a thickness of 20 mm. In the area of the mechanical connection with the lifting column assigned to the electrode support arm, the copper plating is left out.
  • FIG. 3 is closed on the left side by a connecting plate 20 and on the right side by contact plates 21, each made of an electrically highly conductive material, preferably copper.
  • the two contact plates 21 delimit a receiving space 22, which extends over the entire width of the support arm, for a holding piece 23 of a clamping bracket 24 of the electrode clamping device 8.
  • the holding piece 23 connects the ends of the electrode clamping bracket 24, through which the electrode 10 can be clamped is.
  • the electrode is clamped in that the clamping bracket 24 is pulled to the left by means of the holding piece 23 in the illustration according to FIG. 3 and the electrode is pressed against a contact piece 25 made of electrically highly conductive material, preferably copper, which is fastened to the contact plates 21.
  • the clamping device By moving the electrode clamp 24 to the right, the clamping device is released and the electrode 10 is released.
  • the displacement movement of the electrode clamping bracket 24 takes place by means of an actuating rod 26 arranged centrally in the electrode supporting arm with the aid of an actuating device comprising a spring assembly 27 and a hydraulic cylinder 28, which are arranged together with the actuating rod within a central tube 29 of the electrode supporting arm.
  • the actuating rod 26 is pulled to the left by the spring assembly 27, i.e. the electrode clamping device is held in the clamping position, the actuating rod is pressed to the right against the spring force of the spring assembly 27 by the hydraulic cylinder 28 and thus the electrode clamping device is brought into the release position.
  • Within the central tube 29 there are guides 30 and 31 for the axially displaceable actuating rod 26.
  • channels 32 for a cooling liquid for cooling the electrode support arm.
  • the electrode clamp 24 is electrically insulated from the electrode support arm.
  • two insulating sliding blocks 33 and 34 preferably made of ceramic material, are inserted in the top and in the bottom of the holding piece 23, which protrude above the relevant surface of the holding piece and on the upper and lower Bearing side of the receiving space 22.
  • the sliding blocks 33 and 34 are offset in the axial direction of the electrode support arm in order to be able to absorb the moment exerted by the weight of the electrode on the clamping bracket.
  • the electrode clamp 24 is therefore also electrically insulated from the electrode 10.
  • electrical insulation 38 is also provided between the electrode-side guide 31 of the actuating rod 26 and the latter. This prevents that fault currents can form inside the electrode support arm and in particular in the electrode-side end region of this support arm via the electrode clamp and the actuating rod 26, which can lead to local overheating and damage.
  • the current introduced via the connection plate 20 is thus forced to take a defined path via the outer wall of the box section to the contact plates 21 and from here via the contact piece 25 into the electrode 10.
  • the power supply line to compensate for the different reactances between the different support arms first takes place via the current tube 14 and only from a central region in analogy to the route described with the aid of the electrode support arm 4.
  • the location of the current introduction from the high-current tube 14 into the electrode support arm is determined by the requirement to adjust the reactance of the middle electrode support arm of the two outer electrode support arms, ie to eliminate the reactance asymmetry.
  • the axis of the high-current tube 14 is offset so far upwards relative to the central support arm that it forms an equilateral triangle with the axes of the outer support arms when the support arms 2, 3 and 4 are in one plane.
  • the arc furnace is operated with a three-phase alternating current.
  • the electrically highly conductive layer 11 does not have to extend over the entire circumference of the support arms. Good results have also been achieved with an embodiment in which the two outer support arms had only one plated copper layer on the top, the bottom and the two facing inner sides. Local recesses in the cladding are of course also permissible if it is ensured that a sufficient cross-section is available for the current transport.
  • This exemplary embodiment relates specifically to an arc furnace operated with three-phase alternating current, which has three electrodes, each with an associated electrode support arm.
  • the three electrode support arms are arranged parallel to one another in a plane above the furnace vessel.
  • the electrode support arms have on their outside a layer of electrically good conductive material, e.g. B. copper, as described in detail above.
  • a single loop is formed in that high-current conductor. which is connected to the central electrode support arm, that is to the electrode support arm 3 shown in FIG. 2.
  • the loop 101 shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 is located, for example, at a location of the high-current cable assigned to the central electrode support arm 3, where it runs approximately horizontally.
  • the high-current cables provided with the reference symbol 16 in FIG. 2 form two ends where they run approximately horizontally, so that the cables are actually divided into two high-current conductor sections.
  • a high-current conductor section 102 connected to the transformer has an end piece. which is shaped such that it forms two straight sections 102a and 102b which run at right angles to one another and to the incoming high-current conductor section 102.
  • a clamping connection 105 for example made of copper, is fastened by means of screws 107.
  • the clamp connection 105 is part of a cross member 104, which is also made, for example, of copper or a similarly highly conductive material, and at the other end of which a clamp connection 106 is formed which is similar to the clamp connection 105.
  • the screws 107 are shown in FIG. 7 and only indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the clamp connection 106 holds an end section 103 b of a high-current conductor section 103 leading to the furnace.
  • the sections 102 and 103 thus together form the high-current conductor cable 16 partially shown in FIG. 2.
  • the end of the high-current conductor 103 facing away from the loop 101 is on the central electrode support arm of the arc furnace fixed.
  • the high-current conductor section 103 is shaped such that it forms two end sections 103a and 103b which form a right angle with respect to one another and with respect to the high-current conductor section 103.
  • the loop 101 is located in a plane that runs perpendicular to the central axis L1, L2 of the two high-current conductor sections 102 and 103.
  • the current direction from the transformer to the furnace is indicated in Fig. 5.
  • the two high current conductor sections 102 and 103 are individual cable sections, i.e. the cable sections each have an open end, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the cable sections each have an open end, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • a through-going high-current cable e.g. B. in the middle high current conductor 16 shown in FIG. 2
  • the two open cut surfaces of the cables would then be connected to one another.
  • the position of the crossbar 104 with respect to the other parts of the loop is changed.
  • the traverse can be changed up and down in the direction of the arrow P shown in FIG. 5, as a result of which the reactance of the loops can be increased or decreased.
  • the reactance loop is cooled with cooling water.
