Abstract

A base of a metallurgical vessel having a direct-current arc device whose cathode projects into the vessel and in whose fire-resistant lining on the base at least one anode is arranged, one end of which, passing through the vessel wall, touches metallic melt located in the vessel, and the other end of which can be connected to cooling fluid supply sources and is attached in an electrically insulated manner to the vessel wall via holding elements. A sleeve is provided which does not conduct electric current, sheaths that part of the anode which projects into the metallurgical vessel and, in the process of forming an outlet channel, is arranged at a distance sufficiently far away from the anode that low-melting-point metals, mainly lead, can flow out of the vessel without being impeded.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein metallurgischen Gefäßes mit einem Boden und mit einer Gleichstromlichtbogeneinrichtung, deren Kathode in das Gefäß hineinragt und in dessen Feuerfestauskleidung des Bodens mindestens eine Anode angeordnet ist, die einenends die Gefäßwand durchdringt und die im Gefäß befindliche metallische Schmelze berührt und die anderenends an kühlfluide Versorgungsquellen anschließbar sowie über Halteelemente elektrisch isoliert an der Gefäßwand befestigt ist.The invention relates to a metallurgical vessel with a bottom and with a DC arc device, the cathode of which protrudes into and into the vessel Refractory lining of the bottom is arranged at least one anode, which ends the Penetrates the vessel wall and touches the metallic melt in the vessel and the at the other end connectable to cooling fluid supply sources and via holding elements is electrically insulated attached to the vessel wall.

Aus DE 40 26 897 A1 ist ein metallurgisches Gefäß bekannt, mit einem Gefäßboden, der eine Feuerfestauskleidung besitzt, in dem die Bodenelektrode eines Gleichstromlichtbogenofens angeordnet ist. Am Mantel des Gefäßes ist durch eine Isolierung getrennt eine Halteeinrichtung lösbar befestigt. Die Hatteeinrichtung besteht dabei aus einem koaxial zur Elektrodenmitte angeordneten Flanschrohr, das am metallurgischen Gefäß anschraubbar ist.DE 40 26 897 A1 discloses a metallurgical vessel with a vessel bottom that has a refractory lining in which the bottom electrode has a DC arc furnace is arranged. The jacket of the vessel is insulated separately a holding device releasably attached. The had device consists of one Flange tube arranged coaxially to the center of the electrode, on the metallurgical vessel is screwable.

Die die Ofenwand durchdringende Elektrode kontaktiert die im Gefäß befindliche Schmelze. Während des Betriebes wird der Kopfbereich der Elektrode aufgeschmolzen. Da es sich hier um den tiefsten Punkt des Ofengefäßes handelt, in dem sich die Schmelze befindet, sammeln sich hier auch die dünnflüssigeren und schwereren Schmelzenbestandteile an. Durch Defekte im Feuerfestmaterial kann es zu Verbindungen des Flüssigkeitfadens zwischen der Elektrode und dem Metaltmantel des Gefäßes kommen. Die Folge hiervon sind Beschädigungen oder Zerstörungen des Ofengefäßes im Bereich der Bodenelektrode durch elektrische Überschläge. The electrode penetrating the furnace wall contacts the melt in the vessel. The head area of the electrode is melted during operation. Since it is here is the lowest point of the furnace vessel in which the melt is located, The thinner and heavier melt components also accumulate here. Defects in the refractory material can lead to connections of the liquid thread come between the electrode and the metal jacket of the vessel. The consequence of this are Damage or destruction of the furnace vessel in the area of the bottom electrode electrical flashovers.

Die Erfindung hat sich das Ziel gesetzt, ein metallurgischen Gefäßes mit einem Boden und mit einer Gleichstromlichtbogeneinrichtung zu schaffen, bei dem mit einfachen konstruktiven Mitteln ein Auftreten von elektrischen Überschlägen im Gefäßboden verhindert wird.The invention has set itself the goal of a metallurgical vessel with a bottom and to create with a DC arc device in which with simple constructive An occurrence of electrical flashovers in the bottom of the vessel is prevented.

Die Erfindung erreicht dieses Ziel durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Die nachfolgenden Ansprüche sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung.The invention achieves this aim by the characterizing features of claim 1. The following claims are advantageous developments of the invention.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Durchtritt der Anode durch den metallischen Boden des Ofengefäßes als Abflußkanal ausgestaltet. Hierzu wird eine Hülse vorgesehen, die den in das Gefäß hineinragende Teil der Anode umhüllt und dabei in einem Maße von dieser entfernt ist, daß niedrigschmelzende Metalle ohne Behinderung aus dem Gefäß abfließen können. Die Hülse ist dabei aus einem den elektrischen Strom nicht leitenden Werkstoff aufgebaut, vorzugsweise aus Keramik.According to the passage of the anode through the metallic bottom of the Furnace vessel designed as a drain channel. For this purpose, a sleeve is provided, which in the part of the anode protruding into the vessel is enveloped by it to an extent it is removed that low-melting metals flow out of the vessel without hindrance can. The sleeve is made of a material that does not conduct electricity built up, preferably made of ceramic.

Der dem Gefäßinneren zugewandte Kopf der Hülse ist als Auffangschirm ausgebildet, und weist dabei eine konisch divergierende Form auf. In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung besteht die Hülse aus mindestens zwei Teilen, wobei der erste Teil zylindrisch ausgeformt ist und der zweite Teil von einer Trennstelle ab in Richtung Gefäßinneres eine konisch sich öffnende Trichterform besitzt.The head of the sleeve facing the interior of the vessel is designed as a collecting screen, and has a conically divergent shape.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist in der feuerfesten Auskleidung 41 eine Hülse aus einer feuerfesten Stampfmasse 42 vorgesehen, die in der Verlängerung des trichterförmigen zweiten Teils 35 der Hülse 31 sich erstreckt. Die aus Stampfmasse 42 aufgebaute Hülse erfüllt dabei die Funktion einer Dränage und sorgt dafür, daß auch bei einem größeren Verschleiß der Anode 21 das gesamte dünnflüssige Metall zur Hülse 31 geleitet wird.In a further advantageous embodiment, a sleeve is in the refractory lining 41 from a refractory ramming mass 42 provided in the extension of the funnel-shaped second part 35 of the sleeve 31 extends. The ramming mass 42 constructed sleeve fulfills the function of a drainage and ensures that also at a greater wear of the anode 21, the entire thin metal to the sleeve 31st is directed.

Der Abstand Δr des Abflußkanals zwischen der Anode bzw. des rohrförmigen Halteelementes der Anode und der Hülse beträgt 0,5 bis 2 mm. Diese Distanz ist ausreichend, um das Abfließen der üblichen Schmelze aus dem Gefäßboden zu verhindern. The distance Δr of the drain channel between the anode or the tubular Holding element of the anode and the sleeve is 0.5 to 2 mm. That distance is sufficient to prevent the usual melt from flowing out of the bottom of the vessel.
