- the invention relates to a direct-current arc or resistance melting furnace, in particular an exchangeable contact electrode arrangement, the contact electrode consisting of a metallic support plate, furthermore a metal base plate arranged at a distance therefrom and connected to the support plate by means of bolts, one or more metallic contact rods, which are attached with their necks to the base plate, a refractory stamping out between the upper edge of the contact rods and the support plate and power and coolant lines arranged below the base plate.

- the structure and mode of operation of direct current arc furnaces are known from numerous publications.
- the component that is essential for practical furnace operation is the contact electrode in the furnace vessel, which on the one hand must ensure good electrical contact with the scrap used or in the later course of the melting process with the liquid metal, but on the other hand is exposed to high thermal loads.
- Such a contact electrode is known from DE-PS 3l O6 74l.
- the contact electrodes in the DC arc furnace are subject to premature wear in relation to the furnace hearth lining. Since the replacement of individual contact rods means a relatively large amount of work, in practice it has been decided to replace all the contact rods together at appropriate intervals.
- This mode of operation has the defect that the insertion of the contact rods, the tamping of the center of the furnace floor and the subsequent drying process of the ramming mass delay the restart of the furnace. Furthermore, tamping the center of the furnace floor inside the hot furnace is difficult for the personnel.

- the suspension means mentioned on the top of the contact electrode assembly have done their job after lowering and placing the assembly on the bottom of the furnace vessel and melt during operation of the furnace.
- the pressure elements telescopic cylinder
- the contact electrode is first broken out of the pounding compound with a large compressive force and then pushed upwards so far that the gripper of a traction means located above the open furnace vessel can grip around the contact electrode and pull it up out of the furnace.
- the replacement of the contact electrode assembly can also be carried out in such a way that, after the last batch, a residual melt is left on the hearth of the furnace and suitable eyelets are inserted into this melt puts. These eyelets get their hold after the melt has cooled. Now that the contact electrode has only been broken out of the composite in the furnace vessel with the help of the pressure elements (telescopic cylinder), the support eyelets have sufficient hold in the residual melt located above the contact electrode, so that the contact electrode, which has already been released from the furnace vessel, can be lifted up without difficulty by a traction device can be pulled out. Subsequently, the insertion of a new contact electrode assembly can take place in the manner already described.
- the furnace vessel of a direct current arc furnace shown in the figures has a steel jacket 1 and a steel vessel base 7.
- the furnace vessel is provided with a refractory lining 2.
- the contact electrode is inserted as a compact structural unit in the annular bottom recess of the furnace vessel.
- the contact electrode assembly is completely created outside the furnace.
- the structural unit consists of a support plate 3, a base plate 4 arranged at a distance below it and connected to the support plate 3 by means of bolts 5.
- the space l3 of the contact electrode from the upper edge of the contact rods 6 to the support plate 3 is stamped out in such a way that a template is arranged around the contact electrode, which is removed again after the stamping out has solidified.
- the upper side of the contact electrode assembly has at least one suspension element (lifting eye), against which the hook of the traction mechanism is attached, with which the entire contact electrode assembly is lowered into the furnace vessel from above.

- the exchange of the used contact electrode takes place in such a way that after the furnace has been emptied, the pressure elements (telescopic cylinder 10) located on the cantilever claws 9 of the annular stiffening 8 extending below the furnace vessel are extended and the complete contact electrode assembly is removed from the stamping compound is broken out with the furnace vessel. As soon as the break-out has taken place, the telescopic cylinders 10 can be extended further so that the contact electrode emerges from the hearth of the furnace vessel to such an extent that it can be gripped and pulled out by the gripper of a crane (not shown) located above the open furnace.
- An alternative to replacing the contact electrode assembly provides that a residual melt 17 is left in the hearth floor after the last batch of the furnace. At least one support eyelet l4 is let into this residual melt l7, to which, after the residual melt l7 has cooled, a traction means is struck, which pulls the contact electrode assembly upward out of the furnace vessel after the contact electrode has previously been arranged with the aid of the pressure elements lO (below the furnace vessel ( Telescopic cylinder) has been broken out of the association with the furnace vessel by raising the telescopic cylinder.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gleichstrom-Lichtbogen- oder Widerstands-Schmelzofen, insbesondere austauschbare Kontaktelektroden-Anordnung, wobei die Kontaktelektrode aus einer metallischen Tragplatte besteht, ferner einer im Abstand davon angeordneten, mittels Bolzen mit der Tragplatte verbundenen metallischen Basisplatte, einem oder mehreren metallischen Kontaktstäben, die mit ihren Hälsen an der Basisplatte befestigt sind, einer feuerfesten Ausstampfung zwischen Oberkante Kontaktstäbe und Tragplatte und unterhalb der Basisplatte angeordneten Strom- und Kühlmittelleitungen.The invention relates to a direct-current arc or resistance melting furnace, in particular an exchangeable contact electrode arrangement, the contact electrode consisting of a metallic support plate, furthermore a metal base plate arranged at a distance therefrom and connected to the support plate by means of bolts, one or more metallic contact rods, which are attached with their necks to the base plate, a refractory stamping out between the upper edge of the contact rods and the support plate and power and coolant lines arranged below the base plate.
Beim Betrieb eines Wechselstrom-Lichtbogenofens treten Rückwirkungen auf das Stromversorgungsnetz auf in Form von Unsymmetrien und Flickern. Verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Dämpfung dieser Erscheingungen sind bekannt, u.a. der Betrieb des Lichtbogenofens als Gleichstromofen. Durch die Fortschritte in der Entwicklung von Halbleiterbauelementen wurden in den letzten Jahren die Voraussetzungen geschaffen für den Bau entsprechender Gleichrichter.When operating an AC arc furnace, there are repercussions on the power supply network in the form of asymmetries and flickering. Various options for damping these vibrations are known, including the operation of the arc furnace as a direct current furnace. The advances in the development of semiconductor components have created the conditions for the construction of appropriate rectifiers in recent years.
Der Betrieb eines Lichtbogenofens als Gleichstromofen mit einer kathodisch gepolten Graphitelektrode und einer anodisch gepolten Kontaktelektrode im Ofenboden bringt ferner den Vorteil erheblich verringerten Graphitelektrodenverbrauchs mit sich. Als weiterer Vorteil ist der deutlich geringere Geräuschpegel zu nennen.The operation of an arc furnace as a direct current furnace with a cathodically polarized graphite electrode and an anodically polarized contact electrode in the furnace base also has the advantage of significantly reduced graphite electrode consumption. Another advantage is the significantly lower noise level.
Aufbau und Wirkungsweise von Gleichstromlichtbogenöfen sind aus mannigfachen Veröffentlichungen bekannt. Das für den praktischen Ofenbetrieb wesentliche Bauteil ist die Kontaktelektrode im Ofengefäß, die einerseits guten elektrischen Kontakt zum eingesetzten Schrott bzw. im späteren Verlauf des Schmelzvorgangs zum flüssigen Metall sicherstellen muß, andererseits aber hohen thermischen Belastungen ausgesetzt ist.The structure and mode of operation of direct current arc furnaces are known from numerous publications. The component that is essential for practical furnace operation is the contact electrode in the furnace vessel, which on the one hand must ensure good electrical contact with the scrap used or in the later course of the melting process with the liquid metal, but on the other hand is exposed to high thermal loads.
Eine derartige Kontaktelektrode ist bekannt aus der DE-PS 3l O6 74l.Such a contact electrode is known from DE-PS 3l O6 74l.
Die Kontaktelektroden im Gleichstrom-Lichtbogenofen unterliegen einem im Verhältnis zur Ofenherdausmauerung voreilenden Verschleiß. Da das Auswechseln einzelner Kontaktstäbe einen relativ großen Arbeitsaufwand bedeutet, ist man in der Praxis dazu übergegangen, in entsprechenden Zeitabständen alle Kontaktstäbe gemeinsam auszuwechseln.The contact electrodes in the DC arc furnace are subject to premature wear in relation to the furnace hearth lining. Since the replacement of individual contact rods means a relatively large amount of work, in practice it has been decided to replace all the contact rods together at appropriate intervals.
In der bisher betriebenen Arbeitsweise wurde nach der letzten Schmelze eine geeignete Zugöse in die im Ofen behaltene geringe Restschmelze eingesetzt. Nach ihrer Erkaltung und Verfestigung können dann mittels einer geeigneten Vorrichtung die Restschmelze, Kontaktstäbe und Ausmauerung gezogen werden. Nach dem Ziehen werden neue Kontaktstäbe eingesetzt und das Zentrum des Ofenbodens neu gestampft.In the previous mode of operation, after the last melt, a suitable towing eye was inserted into the small residual melt kept in the furnace. After they have cooled and solidified, the residual melt, contact rods and lining can then be drawn using a suitable device. After pulling, new contact rods are inserted and the center of the furnace floor is stamped again.
Dieser Arbeitsweise haftet der Mangel an, daß das Einsetzen der Kontaktstäbe, das Stampfen des Zentrums des Ofenbodens sowie der daran anschließende Trocknungsvorgang der Stampfmasse die Wiederinbetriebnahme des Ofens verzögern. Ferner ist das Stampfen des Zentrums des Ofenbodens im Innern des heißen Ofens beschwerlich für das Personal.This mode of operation has the defect that the insertion of the contact rods, the tamping of the center of the furnace floor and the subsequent drying process of the ramming mass delay the restart of the furnace. Furthermore, tamping the center of the furnace floor inside the hot furnace is difficult for the personnel.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Kontakt-Elektrodenanordnung, wie sie nach der DE-PS 3l O6 74l vorgeschlagen wird, in Richtung auf eine einfachere und schnellere Herstellung, Montage und Demontage zu verbessern.The object of the invention is to improve the contact electrode arrangement, as proposed according to DE-PS 3l O6 74l, in the direction of simpler and faster production, assembly and disassembly.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung in der Weise gelöst, wie es in den Patentansprüchen im einzelnen angegeben ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in the manner as specified in the claims.
Die Kontaktelektroden-Anordnung wird demnach als komplettes Bauteil des Schmelzofens konzipiert und hergestellt. Das Einsetzen dieses Bauteils in das mit einer kreisförmigen Öffnung am Boden versehene Ofengefäß erfolgt mit Hilfe eines Krans. Zum Einheben werden an der Oberseite der Kontaktelektroden-Baueinheit Tragmittel (Ösen) eingelassen. Die Baueinheit wird in das Ofengefäß abgesenkt und setzt sich mit ihrer Tragplatte auf die ringförmige Versteifung im Ofengefäß auf. Die Basisplatte, an die die Strom- und Kühlmittelleitungen angeschlossen werden, hängt durch die Ofengefäßöffnung nach unten durch.The contact electrode arrangement is therefore designed and manufactured as a complete component of the melting furnace. This component is inserted into the furnace vessel with a circular opening on the bottom by means of a crane. For lifting purposes, suspension elements (eyelets) are inserted on the top of the contact electrode assembly. The assembly is lowered into the furnace vessel and sits on the ring-shaped stiffening in the furnace vessel with its support plate. The base plate to which the power and coolant lines are connected hangs down through the furnace opening.
Die erwähnten Tragmittel an der Oberseite der Kontaktelektroden-Baueinheit haben nach dem Absenken und Aufsetzen der Baueinheit auf den Ofengefäßboden ihre Aufgabe erfüllt und schmelzen bei Betrieb des Ofens ein.The suspension means mentioned on the top of the contact electrode assembly have done their job after lowering and placing the assembly on the bottom of the furnace vessel and melt during operation of the furnace.
Das Auswechseln der Kontaktelektroden-Baueinheit, das nach entsprechendem Abbrand der Kontaktstäbe erforderlich wird, geschieht in der Weise, wie es in den Verfahrensansprüchen angegeben ist.The replacement of the contact electrode assembly, which becomes necessary after the contact rods have burned off appropriately, is carried out in the manner specified in the process claims.
Nachdem der Ofen leergefahren ist, werden die auf den Kragpratzen unterhalb des Ofengefäßes aufgelagerten Druckelemente (Teleskopzylinder) nach oben ausgefahren. Auf diese Weise wird zunächst mit einer großen Druckkraft die Kontaktelektrode aus dem Ausstampfungsverbund herausgebrochen und anschließend so weit nach oben gedrückt, daß der Greifer eines oberhalb des geöffneten Ofengefäßes befindlichen Zugmittels die Kontaktelektrode umgreifen und nach oben aus dem Ofen herausziehen kann.After the furnace has been emptied, the pressure elements (telescopic cylinder) on the cantilever claws below the furnace vessel are extended. In this way, the contact electrode is first broken out of the pounding compound with a large compressive force and then pushed upwards so far that the gripper of a traction means located above the open furnace vessel can grip around the contact electrode and pull it up out of the furnace.
Ist dies geschehen, so wird eine neue Kontaktelektroden-Baueinheit eingesetzt und der Ringspalt zwischen der feuerfesten Ausmauerung des Ofengefäßes und der aufgelagerten Kontaktelektroden-Baueinheit mit Feuerfestmaterial ausgestampft.Once this has been done, a new contact electrode assembly is inserted and the annular gap between the refractory lining of the furnace vessel and the superimposed contact electrode assembly is filled with refractory material.
Alternativ kann das Auswechseln der Kontaktelektroden-Baueinheit auch so vonstatten gehen, daß man nach der letzten Charge auf dem Herdboden des Ofens noch eine Restschmelze beläßt und in diese Schmelze geeignete Tragösen ein setzt. Diese Ösen bekommen nach Erkalten der Schmelze ihren Halt. Nachdem nun mit Hilfe der Druckelemente (Teleskopzylinder) die Kontaktelektrode lediglich aus dem Verbund im Ofengefäß herausgebrochen worden ist, haben die Tragösen ausreichenden Halt in der über der Kontaktelektrode befindlichen Restschmelze, so daß von einem Zugmittel die aus dem Ofengefäß bereits herausgelöste Kontaktelektrode ohne Schwierigkeiten nach oben herausgezogen werden kann. Anschließend kann in bereits geschilderter Weise das Einsetzen einer neuen Kontaktelektroden-Baueinheit stattfinden.Alternatively, the replacement of the contact electrode assembly can also be carried out in such a way that, after the last batch, a residual melt is left on the hearth of the furnace and suitable eyelets are inserted into this melt puts. These eyelets get their hold after the melt has cooled. Now that the contact electrode has only been broken out of the composite in the furnace vessel with the help of the pressure elements (telescopic cylinder), the support eyelets have sufficient hold in the residual melt located above the contact electrode, so that the contact electrode, which has already been released from the furnace vessel, can be lifted up without difficulty by a traction device can be pulled out. Subsequently, the insertion of a new contact electrode assembly can take place in the manner already described.

Sobald das Herausbrechen erfolgt ist, können die Teleskopzylinder lO weiter ausgefahren werden, so daß die Kontaktelektrode so weit aus dem Herdboden des Ofengefäßes hervortritt, daß sie von dem Greifer eines nicht dargestellten, oberhalb des geöffneten Ofens befindlichen Krans umgriffen und herausgezogen werden kann.The exchange of the used contact electrode takes place in such a way that after the furnace has been emptied, the pressure elements (telescopic cylinder 10) located on the

In diese Restschmelze l7 wird mindestens eine Tragöse l4 eingelassen, an die nach dem Erkalten der Restschmelze l7 ein Zugmittel angeschlagen wird, das die Kontaktelektroden-Baueinheit aus dem Ofengefäß nach oben herauszieht, nachdem zuvor die Kontaktelektrode mit Hilfe der unterhalb des Ofengefäßes angeordneten Druckelemente lO (Teleskopzylinder) aus dem Verband mit dem Ofengefäß durch Hochfahren der Teleskopzylinder herausgebrochen worden ist.An alternative to replacing the contact electrode assembly provides that a
