Aus der DE 34 27 086 C1 ist ein metallurgisches Gefäß mit einem unter Belassung eines peripheren Luftspaltes darüber angeordneten Hitzeschild bekannt, der mindestens eine Öffnung aufweist, durch die jeweils von außen eine Sonde, Lanze oder Elektrode in den Innenraum des Gefäßes geführt wird und mit einer um den Hitzeschild gelegten, nach unten offenen Absaugehaube, die über den peripheren Luftspalt hinrausreichend das Gefäß umgibt und wobei der zwischen dem Hitzeschild und der Absaughaube gebildete Luftraum an eine Absaugvorrichtung angeschlossen ist. Um ein metallurgisches Gefäß der oben erwähnten Art zu schaffen, das eine Absaugung der Prozeßgase und -stäube und gleichzeitig eine wirksame Abschirmung der Umgebungsluft von der Metallschmelze gewährleistet, wurde innerhalb der Absaughaube eine den peripheren Luftspalt außen vollständig überragende Trennwand angeordnet, die mit der Wandung der Absaughaube eine Ansaugdüse bildet, die das Gefäß umgibt.DE 34 27 086 C1 is a metallurgical vessel with one leaving a peripheral air gap heat shield arranged above known, the has at least one opening through which each of outside a probe, lance or electrode into the interior of the vessel and with one around the heat shield placed, downwardly open suction hood, the the vessel extends beyond the peripheral air gap surrounds and between the heat shield and the Extraction hood formed air space to a suction device connected. A metallurgical vessel of the type mentioned above to create a suction the process gases and dusts and at the same time an effective one Shielding the ambient air from the molten metal was guaranteed within the exhaust hood a completely overhanging the peripheral air gap on the outside Partition arranged with the wall of the Suction hood forms a suction nozzle that forms the vessel surrounds.

Aus der DE 42 24 845 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Abdichtung eines umlaufenden Spaltes zwischen einer Stahlgießpfanne und der wassergekühlten Pfannenhaube eines durch Elektroden beheizten Pfannenofens bekannt. Damit soll verhindert werden, daß die sich bei plötzlicher Zugabe von Zuschlagstoffen und Legierungsmitteln infolge chemischer Reaktion bildende starke Rauchgasmenge ungehindert ins Freie gelangen kann. DE 42 24 845 A1 describes a device for Sealing a circumferential gap between one Steel ladle and the water-cooled ladle hood of a pan oven heated by electrodes. This is to prevent that the sudden addition of aggregates and alloying agents strong as a result of chemical reaction The amount of flue gas can escape freely.

Am unteren Teil der Pfannenhaube wird ein gasführendes Rohr angebracht. Durch eine Vielzahl von innerhalb eines Winkelbereichs von 45° nach oben bzw. nach unten angeordnete Bohrungen an diesem Rohr tritt mit Überdruck Gas aus, das einen Gasschleier zur Abdichtung des Spaltes zwischen Stahlgießpfanne und wassergekühlter Pfannenhaube bildet.At the lower part of the pan hood there is a gas pipe Tube attached. Through a variety of within an angular range of 45 ° upwards or downwards arranged bores on this pipe occurs with overpressure Gas from which a gas curtain to seal the Gap between steel ladle and water-cooled Pan hood forms.

Nachteilig bei dem genannten Pfannenhauben ist die ungenügende Abdichtung am oberen Deckelbereich der Durchführung von Lanzen bzw. Elektroden und die mangelnde Absaugung der heißen Rauchgase im oberen Teil der Pfannenhaube.A disadvantage of the pan hoods mentioned is that insufficient sealing on the upper lid area of the Carrying lances or electrodes and the insufficient extraction of the hot smoke gases in the upper part the pan hood.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die gattungsgemäße Ausführungsform dahingehend auszubilden, daß eine gezielte Absaugung der Rauchgase gleichzeitig an verschiedenen Stellen der wassergekühlten Pfannenhaube durchführbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object to design the generic embodiment in that that targeted extraction of the flue gases at the same time at various points on the water-cooled pan hood is feasible.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt entsprechend dem kennzeichnenden Merkmal von Anspruch 1. Die Unteransprüche stellen eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dar.The task is solved accordingly characteristic feature of claim 1. The subclaims represent an advantageous one Embodiment of the invention.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen, wassergekühlten Pfannenhaube werden gegenüber den bekannten Pfannenhauben die Rauchgase jeweils mindestens an drei Stellen und in zwei Ebenen abgesaugt. Die Pfannenhaube besteht aus einem äußeren und einem inneren Rohrzylinder, dem unteren Haubenteil, der durch senkrecht angeordnete Kühlrohre, die sowohl außen als auch innen über den Rand der Pfanne nach unten ragen, geteilt wird.In the case of the water-cooled pan hood according to the invention compared to the well-known pan hoods, the flue gases at least in three places and in two Levels sucked off. The pan hood consists of one outer and an inner tubular cylinder, the lower Hood part, which is arranged by vertically arranged cooling pipes, which both outside and inside over the edge of the Pan down, is divided.

In den unteren Bereich der Haube, der direkt über die in der Pfanne befindlichen Schmelze abgesenkt wird, werden die Rauchgase durch den unteren Teil der wassergekühlten Haube erfaßt und im oberen Teil gezielt an drei Stellen jeweils im Bereich der Elektroden gezielt abgesaugt. Die Gasströme werden außerhalb im Bereich des Übergangs zum stationären Abgasrohr zusammengeführt. Der Anteil der abgezogenen Rauchgasmengen über diesen unteren, inneren Haubenteil beträgt etwa 80 % der Gesamtmenge und liegt in einem Temperaturbereich zwischen 1200 °C und 1400 °C.In the lower area of the hood, which is directly over the the melt in the pan is lowered, the flue gases are through the lower part of the water-cooled hood and targeted in the upper part at three points in the area of the electrodes targeted suction. The gas flows are outside in the Area of transition to the stationary exhaust pipe merged. The percentage of deducted Flue gas quantities over this lower, inner hood part is about 80% of the total and is in one Temperature range between 1200 ° C and 1400 ° C.

Ein weiterer Absaugbereich liegt im oberen Teil der Haube, der sogenannten Sekundärhaube. Dieser Haubenteil ist so ausgeführt, daß möglichst wenig Rauchgase in diesen Bereich eindringen können, da auch hier die senkrechte Kühlrohrwand kreisförmig nach unten auskragt. Wie im unteren Haubenteil auch, werden die dort ankommenden Rauchgase gezielt im Bereich der Elektroden an drei Stellen abgesaugt.Another extraction area is in the upper part of the Hood, the so-called secondary hood. This part of the hood is designed so that as few smoke gases as possible can penetrate this area because here too vertical cooling tube wall circular downwards cantilevered. As in the lower part of the hood, the Incoming smoke gases targeted in the area of Sucked electrodes at three places.

Diese drei Öffnungen in der Sekundärhaube werden in ihrer Dimensionierung so ausgelegt, daß an allen drei Absaugstellen annähernd die gleiche Absaugmenge abgesaugt wird. Durch den Einbau von Blenden kann zusätzlich in einem begrenzten Volumenbereich die abzusaugende Rauchgasmenge den tatsächlichen Betriebsbedingungen der Ofenanlage angepaßt werden.These three openings in the secondary hood are in dimensioned so that all three Suction points have approximately the same amount of suction extracted becomes. By installing panels, additional in a limited volume range, the one to be extracted Amount of flue gas the actual operating conditions be adapted to the furnace system.

Die Öffnungen im zylindrischen Teil des oberen Haubenteiles stellen daher sicher, daß eine gleichmäßige Absaugung erfolgt. Die Gasströme werden auch hier außerhalb im Bereich des Überganges zum stationären Abgasrohr zusammengeführt. Um ein Ausschwallen von Rauchgasen durch die drei Ringspalte zwischen Elektroden und dem ff-Material des Herzstückes zu vermeiden und um den Unterdruck im unteren Absaugbereich so klein wie nötig zu halten, werden die Unterdrucke in beiden Absaugebenen getrennt eingestellt. Der Anteil der über die Sekundärhaube bzw. oberen Haubenteil abgezogenen Gasmenge beträgt etwa 20 % der Gesamtmenge und liegt in einem Temperaturbereich zwischen 600° und 1200 °C.The openings in the cylindrical part of the upper hood part therefore make sure that an even Suction takes place. The gas flows are also here outside in the area of the transition to the stationary Exhaust pipe merged. In order to float out of Flue gases through the three ring gaps between Electrodes and the ff material of the heart avoid and around the vacuum in the lower suction area to keep them as small as necessary Negative pressures set separately in both suction levels. The proportion of the secondary hood or The amount of gas withdrawn from the upper hood part is approximately 20% of the total and lies in a temperature range between 600 ° and 1200 ° C.

Die gesamte Haube ist wassergekühlt und als Rohr-an-Rohr- und/oder teilweise als Rohr-Spalt-Rohr-Schweißung ausgeführt, wobei die wassergekühlte Arbeitstür pneumatisch geöffnet und verschlossen wird. Durch diese Arbeitstür wird mittels Handlanzen die Temperatur ermittelt und Proben der Schmelze genommen. Ebenso wird der Legierungstrichter pneumatisch verschlossen bzw. geöffnet. Im geöffneten Zustand verhindert eine Luftabschleierung im Fallrohr, das größere Mengen Rauchgas entweichen können.The entire hood is water-cooled and as pipe-to-pipe and / or partially as pipe-gap-pipe welding executed, the water-cooled work door is opened and closed pneumatically. Through this The temperature of the work door is increased by hand lances determined and samples of the melt taken. The alloy funnel also becomes pneumatic closed or opened. In the open state prevents air curtain in the downpipe larger quantities of flue gas can escape.

Der Zugabetrichter für Zuschläge und Legierungen wird als wassergekühlter Stutzen installiert. Dieser wassergekühlte Stutzen wird staubdicht in die Pfannenhaube eingebaut.The addition funnel for aggregates and alloys is installed as a water-cooled nozzle. This water-cooled The nozzle becomes dustproof in the pan hood built-in.

Das ff-Herzstück für die Elektrodendurchführungen wird von einem auswechselbaren wassergekühlten Ring aus drei übereinanderliegenden Rohren getragen. Es wird eine Spaltbreite gleich oder kleiner als 25 mm zwischen den Elektroden und der Stampfmasse des Herzstückes angestrebt, um den Rauchgasdurchtritt bzw. Falschluftansaugung in Grenzen zu halten.The ff centerpiece for the electrode bushings is from an interchangeable water-cooled ring of three tubes placed one above the other. It will be one Gap width equal to or less than 25 mm between the Electrodes and the ramming mass of the heart, around the flue gas passage or false air intake to keep within limits.

Die Kühlwasserversorgung erfolgt über Rohrleitungen mit flexiblen Kompensatoren und deren Verteiler. Für die erfindungsgemäße Pfannenhaube sind Kühlkreisläufe vorgesehen. Hinzu kommen ferner noch zwei Kühlkreisläufe für den Endstutzen des Legierungstrichters sowie für den wassergekühlten Ring des Herzstücks. The cooling water is supplied via pipes flexible expansion joints and their distributors. For the In the pan hood according to the invention, cooling circuits are provided. There are also two cooling circuits for the end nozzle of the alloy funnel and for the water-cooled ring of the heart.

Um einen verbesserten Gleichlauf der Haube bei den Hubbewegungen zu erreichen, werden drei Deckelhubzylinder in der Deckelhubvorrichtung installiert. Der Gleichlauf der Pfannenhaube wird über drei Stromregelventile erreicht.To improve the synchronization of the hood during the lifting movements three lid lift cylinders installed in the lid lifting device. The synchronization the pan hood is via three flow control valves reached.

An jedem Zylinder wird die obere Endlage der Pfannenhaube überwacht. Das Hydraulikventil für die Hubbewegungen aller Zylinder wird erst abgeschaltet, wenn alle Zylinder ihre Endlage erreicht haben. Das Absenken der Haube erfolgt dann immer von der gleichen Ausgangsstellung. Die mechanische Anbindung dieser Hydraulikzylinder erfolgt über eine stationäre Ofenbühne.The upper end position of the Pan hood monitored. The hydraulic valve for the Stroke movements of all cylinders are only switched off when all cylinders have reached their end position. The hood is then always lowered from the same starting position. The mechanical connection this hydraulic cylinder takes place via a stationary one Furnace stage.

Der innere Rohrzylinder der Pfannenhaube ragt in Arbeitsposition in die Gießpfanne hinein, der äußere Rohrzylinder wird über dem Pfannenrand außerhalb der Gießpfanne positioniert.The inner tubular cylinder of the pan hood protrudes Working position in the ladle, the outer one Pipe cylinder is above the pan rim outside of the Pouring ladle positioned.

Bei Einsatz von kleineren Gießpfannen mit einem geringeren Fassungsvermögen kann der innere Rohrzylinder auch direkt auf dem Pfannenrand aufgesetzt werden.When using smaller ladles with a The inner tube cylinder can have a smaller capacity also placed directly on the edge of the pan become.

Bei Verwendung von Gießpfannen mit einem geringen Fassungsvermögen und einem Pfannendurchmesser, der kleiner als der innere Rohrzylinder der Haube ausgeführt ist, wird der innere Rohrzylinder der Haube über den Pfannenrand abgesenkt. Bei diesem Fall hängt die Haube frei in der Deckelhubvorrichtung oder sie stützt sich auf an der äußeren Seite der Pfanne befestigten Pratzen oder Verstärkungskragen unterhalb der Pfannenoberhaube ab.When using ladles with a low Capacity and a pan diameter that smaller than the inner tube cylinder of the hood the inner tube cylinder of the hood is over lowered the pan rim. In this case it depends Hood free in the lid lifting device or it supports attached to the outside of the pan Claws or reinforcing collar below the pan hood from.
