Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrode support arm for arc furnaces, which is designed as a hollow profile with a wall formed at least partially from current-carrying material of high conductivity.
  • Electrodes for arc furnaces for steel production are usually attached to support arms by means of electrode clamps, which in turn are held on vertically movable support columns.
  • the power supply takes place either in power pipes guided above the support arm or above the support arms themselves.
  • the current is conducted with copper or aluminum plated on the outside.
  • the support arm can also consist entirely of a material that conducts the current well.
  • a support arm which is made of aluminum and carries current, is known. Because of the low current load, the support arm, which is designed as a hollow profile, is itself uncooled. The cooling water supply required for the electrode clamp is splinted over pipes that are led through the interior of the hollow profile.
  • the cooling of the electrode holder is complex.
  • the cooling potential of the cooling medium is not sufficiently exploited in the cooled support arm design.
  • the invention therefore has set itself the goal of avoiding the disadvantages mentioned and of creating a structurally simple, low-weight and at the same time structurally rigid support arm with which low-maintenance, high electrical outputs can be transmitted.
  • its wall consists of profiles in which channels arranged parallel to one another are introduced. At the head and foot ends of the channels, two ends are connected to one another, so that an arbitrarily configurable cooling water circulation system is created.
  • the thickness of the wall is chosen so that the support arm designed as a hollow profile is sufficiently rigid and at the same time the entire wall is cooled without risk.
  • the hollow profile can have a circular, oval or box-like shape.
  • the box-like shape is preferred, the wall consists of two L-profiles of the same size or of four flat profiles welded together at the corners.
  • the support arm according to the invention is significantly lighter than previously known support arms of comparable sizes. On the one hand, this is due to the use of the wall provided with channels, so that the arm's own weight is lower with comparatively stiffness. On the other hand, however, less water is used overall, since significantly less water is directed through the channels through the support arm designed as a closed coolant circuit.
  • the support arm according to the invention has an outer simple shape, in which no components protrude outwards and are therefore exposed to possible damage.
  • the simple shape allows easy attachment of the electrode support device in the front part of the support arm. This ensures an easy change.
  • the middle support arm is bent in its middle section when three electrodes are used and is guided above the other electrode arms.
  • Electrodes (21-23) protrude through the cover (12) into the furnace vessel (11) and are attached to an electrode arm (24) or to individual electrode arms (25-27) of an electrode carrier device (20).
  • the middle electrode support arm When using three electrode support arms (25-27), the middle electrode support arm has a kink (28) which is intimately connected to horizontal electrode support parts (29).
  • the length of the middle electrode support arm (25) is labeled “L”. This length "L” has a kink length "l” in the central area, this part of the electrode support arm being arranged at a kink angle ( ⁇ ) to the horizontal electrode support part (29).
  • FIG. 2 shows hollow profiles (30) of the electrode support arm with components (31). These components (31) are extruded and have channels (36) in the longitudinal direction, the number and dimensions of which are designed such that adequate cooling can be achieved without reducing the strength of the support arm.
  • the hollow profile is advantageously assembled from at least two extruded components by welding. These components can be designed as an oval profile (34) ⁇ Figure 2.3 ⁇ or as an L-profile (33) ⁇ Figure 2.2 ⁇ . However, as shown in FIG. 2.1, they can also be assembled from identical flat profiles (32) which are welded together at 4 seams.
  • flanges or lids are attached, through which parallel channels are connected to one another, and thus enable a defined coolant flow.
  • FIG. 3 shows individual current threads of the coolant of a coolant control system (40).
  • the individual channels (36) form the coolant thread (46), which flows through most of the support arm.
  • the electrode holder (27) has the coolant threads (47 and 48) that are supplied by the coolant threads (49). Due to the large number of channels, a wide variety of coolant channels can be displayed.
  • the possibility of cooling a spray ring (41) is shown in the lower part of the picture, from which the water can flow freely, which is fed to it via the coolant thread (42).
