Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for injecting preheated air into a shaft furnace consisting of several separate tubular elements consisting of an outer steel shield and an inner lining of cast refractory concrete, connected two by two by a spherical joint and a compensator.
- the devices for injecting preheated air are exposed to mobility and leakage problems. Indeed, as a result of the high temperature of the preheated air (temperature of the order of 1,200 ° C. or more) and the high temperature prevailing inside the oven, the wall of the latter, as well as the supply line and the wind carrier are exposed to thermal expansion and deformation causing significant relative displacements between the supply line and the wall of the furnace. It is therefore necessary that the wind carrier is able to compensate for these relative displacements while avoiding leaks of gas or preheated air.
- US Patent No. 3,766,868 provides a blast connection of the type described in the preamble.
- This wind carrier was subsequently perfected by the design of universal joints with a spherical joint of the kind described in document DE-C2-2218331.
- the articulations of this wind carrier allow the compensation of all relative movements between the supply line and the wall of the furnace.
- the tightness at the joints is ensured by bellows compensators, while the mechanical stability is ensured for example by associated cardanic connections, at the two universal joints, at the two opposite ends of the central tubular element.
- the most stressed and delicate place is always at the level of the joints. Indeed, the mobility of the patella relative to its base often causes friction of refractory concrete on refractory concrete. The refractory concrete at the tip of the ball joint can be damaged and fragments can possibly be torn off.
- microcracks can form in certain places which are the cause of annoying circulation and vortices.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a new system of articulations which better withstands both the thermal and mechanical stresses to which it is subjected.
- the device proposed by the present invention is essentially characterized in that at least the convex ball joint of the spherical joint comprises a profiled refractory brick anchored in the lining of interior refractory concrete.
- the radius of curvature of each spherical joint is of the order of magnitude of the external radius of the tubular elements. This small radius of curvature ensures better guiding of the ball joints in their base allowing the conservation of the same thickness of the joint during the angular movement.
- the coating of refractory steel extends to the convex part of the patella and ends in a projecting lip on which the profiled refractory brick is supported.
- the support lip combined with the reduced radius of curvature ensures that the support forces are always perpendicular to the radius of curvature. In this way, the risk of fragments being torn off from the profiled refractory brick is eliminated.
- the concave base can also be formed from profiled refractory brick anchored in the interior lining of refractory concrete. This avoids the formation of microcracks and improves thermal insulation at the concave base of the ball joint.
- An insulating mat can, if necessary, be interposed between the profiled refractory brick and the external shielding.
- the ball joint and the tubular element can form a single block with the refractory lining of the tubular element, or the ball joint can constitute a separate element, mounted on the tubular element and separated from the inner lining of the latter by an annular seal.
- the shielding of the tubular element and that of the adjacent tubing can be connected directly to each other through a compensator, or by means of a flange or a detachable weld.
- a refractory soft seal between the ball joint and the plate can be partially attached to the shield and partially to the edge of the plate. It can also be partially attached in an interior housing of the cylindrical sheath and partially on the refractory. According to another variant, it can also be partially attached to the refractory and partially in a housing delimited by the upper part of the sheath and by a ring welded inside the shielding.
- Figure 1 shows two tubular elements 10, 12 of a wind carrier connected by a ball joint 14 and a bellows compensator 16.
- the tubular elements 10, 12 include an outer shield made of refractory steel 18 and an internal coating of cast refractory concrete 20.
- the hot wind passes through a central lumen 22 arranged in the refractory concrete 20.
- the articulation 14 is formed by a convex ball 24 and a concave plate 26.
- the ball 24 is formed by a profiled refractory brick 28.
- the brick comprises an annular anchoring surface 29 specially studied which makes it possible to fix it securely in the internal lining of refractory concrete poured 20.
- the convex part of the ball joint 24 has a radius of curvature which is between 0.8 and 1.2 times the outside radius of the tubular elements 10, 12.
- a sheath 30 of refractory steel extends up to the convex part of the ball 24 and ends with a projecting lip 32 which forms a bearing surface for the brick 28.
- the convex ball 24 is connected to the tubular element 10 by a flange 34 and an annular seal 36. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the ball joint 24.
- a space 38 which is sealed on its periphery by a soft seal 40 fixed to the shield 18 and by a soft seal 42 which adheres to the outer edge of the plate 26.
- the soft seal 40 is attached to a housing 39 delimited by two rings welded inside the shield 18.
- Figure 2 shows another preferred embodiment of a hinge for a blower.
- an insulating mat 44 has been introduced which provides better thermal insulation of the convex ball joint 24 and of the compensator 16.
- the anchoring surface 129 of the refractory brick 28 in the internal coating of cast refractory concrete 20 has a "dovetail" shape. This particular shape of the anchoring surface 129 keeps the refractory brick 28 in place and prevents it from moving vertically and horizontally.
- FIG. 3 represents yet another preferred embodiment of an articulation of a wind-blower in which both the convex ball joint 24 and the hollow plate 26 are formed from profiled refractory bricks 28, 48.
- An advantage of this embodiment is that the formation of microcracks at the level of the concave plate is eliminated.
- a soft seal 142 attached to the refractory brick 48 of the concave plate 26, and the soft seal 40 seal the space provided between the convex ball 24 and the concave plate 26.
- Figure 4 shows an articulation of a wind carrier in which the convex ball 24 and the concave plate 26 are formed in profiled refractory brick 28, 148.
- An insulating mat 130 is interposed between the refractory steel shield 18 and the brick 148 to improve thermal insulation.
- An anchoring surface 229 in the form of a "dovetail" maintains the brick 148 in the coating of cast refractory concrete.
