Definitions
- the invention relates to a gas flushing device for a metallurgical melting vessel, with a conically shaped ceramic body, which comes into contact on its upper side with a metal melt located in the melting vessel, the ceramic body comprising a static outer element and an inner element axially movable therein, and with a pneumatic drive , by means of which the inner element can be moved back and forth axially between a closed position and an open position relative to the outer element of the ceramic body, a spring being provided by the spring force of which the inner element is held in the closed position, and with one arranged on the underside of the ceramic body , gas-tight closed volume, which is connected to a gas supply line for introducing purge gas.
- Such gas purging devices are usually used for introducing purging gas into a molten metal which is located in a metallurgical melting vessel, for example in a steel ladle or in a converter.
- the purge gas is usually an inert gas that is blown into the vessel under high pressure of, for example, 6-10 bar. Above all, this is intended to achieve thorough mixing of the molten metal present in the melting vessel.
- a gas purging device is known from DE 196 10 578 C1, in which the disadvantages resulting from the wear problem described above are largely eliminated.
- the gas purging device previously known from the cited document has a conically shaped ceramic body which, unlike in the case of conventional purging stones, is not porous in order to enable the purging gas to be introduced into the molten metal.
- the ceramic body in the known gas purging device consists of a static outer element and an inner element axially movable therein. The axial movement of the inner element relative to the outer element opens or closes an annular gap between the inner element and the outer element, through which the purging gas can get into the molten metal, as required.
- a disadvantage of the known gas purging device is above all that the production of the ceramic body is extremely complex.
- the outer element of the ceramic body has a conical recess for the movable inner element, the recess opening into a hollow chamber within the ceramic body. It is associated with great technical difficulties to provide a suitable casting mold for the ceramic body of the known gas purging device and in particular to remove this casting mold after the casting process, since projections and undercuts are formed by the hollow chamber mentioned.
- a special gas supply line must be provided which is guided through the ceramic material of the static outer element so that the flushing gas to be blown into the molten metal can be introduced into the hollow chamber.
- the axial movement of the inner element relative to the outer element takes place by means of a pneumatic drive.
- the pressure of the introduced purge gas lifts the inner element out of its seat in the outer element against the hydrostatic pressure of the molten metal, so that the annular gap between the inner element and the outer element opens. Since in the known device the pneumatic drive must work against the hydrostatic pressure of the molten metal, it is disadvantageously necessary to supply the purge gas under a correspondingly high pressure.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing a gas purging device in which, on the one hand, the high wear which occurs with conventional purging stones is avoided and, on the other hand, which can be operated safely and reliably at moderate purging gas pressures. At the same time, it should be possible to manufacture the device at low cost.
- this object is achieved in that the pneumatic drive has a deformable membrane connected to the inner element, which acts on the pressure difference between the pressure of the purging gas prevailing in the gas-tight housing and the ambient pressure.
- the gas purging device according to the invention does entirely without the hollow chamber arranged in the interior of the ceramic body, which is responsible for the complex manufacture of the ceramic body in the known gas purging device described above.
- the gas purging device according to the invention fulfills a valve function, so that the high wear that is customary with conventional purging stones cannot occur.
- What is essential in the gas purging device according to the invention is the special design of the pneumatic drive for moving the inner element of the ceramic body between the closed position and the open position.
- the invention proposes to provide a deformable membrane, which acts on the pressure difference between the pressure of the purge gas and the ambient pressure.
- the surface of the deformable membrane is sufficient so that sufficient force to move the inner element is applied at a moderate purge gas pressure.
- a force that is sufficient to move the inner element against the hydrostatic pressure of the molten metal and / or against the spring force of the spring, which is provided for securely holding the inner element in the closed position, can be easily generated by means of the deformable membrane.
- non-generic gas purging devices are known in which the ceramic body is surrounded on the side and on the underside by a sheet metal jacket.
- An axially movable inner element in the ceramic body is connected to the bottom of the sheet metal jacket in the known gas purging devices.
- Purge gas can be introduced through a corresponding opening into the space between the bottom of the sheet metal jacket and the ceramic body. Due to the pressure of the flushing gas, the bottom of the sheet metal shell bulges downward, taking the inner element of the ceramic body with it, so that an annular gap is formed in the ceramic body, through which the flushing gas is introduced into the metal melt.
- a disadvantage of the gas purging devices known from the aforementioned publications is that the inner element of the ceramic body is kept in the closed position solely on account of the elastic properties of the base plate of the sheet metal jacket if no purging gas is introduced.
- the base plate In practice, it can be seen that, due to the high temperatures in the vicinity of the molten metal, the base plate very quickly loses its elastic properties, so that the gas purging device no longer closes reliably. The molten metal then escapes from the metallurgical vessel in an uncontrolled manner through the gas flushing device, which can have catastrophic consequences in the steelworks.
- the deformable membrane used according to the invention does not have to exert the considerable forces that are required to hold the inner element in the closed position.
- the spring can be designed in terms of material, dimensioning, positioning, etc. in such a way that the high thermal load does not impair the function. An uncontrolled escape of the molten steel through the gas purging device is thus effectively avoided by the invention.
- the static outer element can advantageously have an axial conical bore which runs from the top to the bottom of the ceramic body and which accommodates the movable inner element.
- a ceramic body is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
- the bore can taper from the bottom to the top of the ceramic body, which comes into contact with the molten metal located in the melting vessel.
- the bore tapers in reverse from the top of the ceramic body to the bottom. The latter embodiment ensures that the inner element is pressed against the outer element due to the hydrostatic pressure of the molten metal acting on the upper side, which serves as a valve seat to a certain extent.
- the inner element Due to the hydrostatic pressure of the molten metal, the inner element is thus held in the closed position in which the continuous conical annular gap between the inner element and the outer element is closed. In this position, neither gas is blown into the molten metal, nor can liquid metal run out of the melting vessel through the gas flushing device.
- the inner element is moved upwards in the direction of the gas flow, so that the conical annular gap between the inner element and the outer element opens and the gas under high pressure can penetrate the liquid metal unhindered. If, on the other hand, the axial conical bore tapers from the bottom to the top, the inner element is reliably held in the closed position by the spring force when the purge gas flows is interrupted.
- the ceramic inner element is moved downward against the purge gas flow in this embodiment.
- a gas-tightly closed volume is arranged on the underside of the ceramic body and is connected to a gas feed line for introducing purging gas. Inside the volume there is then the pressure of the introduced purge gas, which is blown into the molten metal from the volume through the continuous conical annular gap between the inner element and the outer element of the ceramic body when the device is open.
- the gas-tight closed volume is expediently formed by a housing on the underside of the ceramic body, the side wall of the gas-tight housing being conical in such a way that the conical shape of the ceramic body continues in the region of the housing.
- the side wall can be designed as a conical sheet metal jacket, which laterally surrounds the entire gas purging device consisting of the ceramic body and the gas-tight housing attached to its underside. Due to the overall uniform conical shape of the gas purging device according to the invention, it can be easily installed in place of the conventional purging stones in the existing conical openings which have the usual metallurgical melting vessels in the floor or in the wall area.
- the side wall of the gas-tight housing can be supported on the inner wall of the opening of the metallurgical melting vessel provided for the gas flushing device, so that it is ensured that the gas-tight housing can withstand the possibly high pressure of the introduced flushing gas.
- the gas-tight housing of the gas purging device according to the invention is expediently closed on the underside by a base plate which is sealed off from the side wall, the base plate being supported by struts on a fastening plate attached to the underside of the ceramic body.
- the fastening plate can be fastened to the ceramic body by means of suitable anchoring means. If the Gas flushing device is installed in a metallurgical melting vessel, this is only accessible via the base plate. Therefore, the gas supply line for introducing purge gas into the gas-tight housing should expediently be connected to the base plate.
- the deformable membrane of the pneumatic drive can seal off the interior of the housing in a gas-tight manner from the environment.
- This variant is particularly simple and inexpensive to implement.
- purging gas is introduced into the gas-tight volume, the deformable membrane, which forms the bottom of the housing, bulges downward.
- the inner element of the ceramic body connected to the membrane is then moved relative to the outer element, so that the annular gap opens for blowing in the purge gas.
- the pneumatic function actuates the valve function of the gas purging device according to the invention.
- the pneumatic drive is intended to ensure that, in particular, the pressure of the purge gas, which is also the working medium for the pneumatic drive, is sufficient to move the movable inner element against the force acting from the hydrostatic pressure of the molten metal or the spring from the closed position to the open position to move. Since a linear movement of the inner element relative to the outer element must be carried out to actuate the valve function of the gas purging device according to the invention, it is expedient to provide a push rod in the pneumatic drive, by means of which the deformable membrane is connected to the inner element. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, this push rod is designed as a tube which at the same time serves as a gas feed line for introducing the purge gas into the gas-tight closed volume.
- the pneumatic drive of the gas purging device can expediently comprise a membrane cylinder, a vent pipe being led out of the gas-tight housing being connected to the cylinder space of the membrane cylinder.
- the pressure of the purge gas in the gas-tight housing acts on the piston of the membrane cylinder.
- the cylinder space of the membrane cylinder is through that on the cylinder jacket clamped deformable membrane sealed, so that a total force acts on the piston of the membrane cylinder, which results from the pressure difference between the pressure in the gas-tight housing and the cylinder space vented to the outside.
- Appropriate dimensioning of the membrane cylinder can ensure that the pressure of the flushing gas is sufficient in any case to reliably actuate the valve function of the gas flushing device according to the invention.
- the deformable membrane of the gas purging device can be formed by a sheet metal jacket surrounding the ceramic body on the side and on the underside thereof. This sheet metal jacket then simultaneously encloses the gas-tight closed volume in the area below the shortened inner element of the ceramic body.
- the gas-tightly closed volume in the area between the outer element of the ceramic body and the deformable membrane has the shape of a narrow gap in this embodiment, so that overall a particularly compact construction results.
- thermal insulation is arranged between the ceramic body and the spring.
- This thermal insulation protects the spring from the thermal load which is caused by the molten metal located in the metallurgical melting vessel.
- the thermal insulation can be arranged in the form of a layer of known insulating material either between the ceramic body and the deformable membrane and / or between the deformable membrane and the spring.

- FIG. 1 sectional side view of a first embodiment of the gas purging device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 sectional side view of a second embodiment of the gas purging device according to the invention.
- FIG. 3a shows a sectional side view of a third embodiment of the gas purging device according to the invention.
- 3b shows a sectional side view of a fourth embodiment of the gas purging device according to the invention. 4 view of the bottom of the gas purging device according to FIG. 2nd
- the gas purging devices shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are each installed in a metallurgical melting vessel, a section of a bottom wall 1 of the vessel being shown in the figures.
- the gas purging devices each have a conically shaped ceramic body, which is designated as a whole in the figures with the reference number 2.
- the ceramic body 2 which comes into contact with a metal melt 4 located in the melting vessel on its upper side 3, consists of a static outer element 5 and an inner element 6 axially movable therein.
- FIG. 1 it can be seen that the inner element 6 of the top 3 of the ceramic body 2 is tapered towards the bottom 7 thereof.
- the static outer element 5 thus forms a conical ring with an axial conical bore for the inner element 6, the tapering directions of the static outer element 5 and the inner element 6 being opposite.
- the tapering directions of the outer element 5 and the inner element 6 are the same.
- a continuous conical annular gap 8 is formed between the inner element 6 and the outer element 5, which extends from the top 3 of the ceramic body 2 to the bottom 7 thereof.
- the gas purging devices shown in the figures are in the closed position, in which the conical annular gap 8 is closed, so that no purging gas can penetrate into the molten metal 4 through the annular gap 8. At the same time, no liquid metal can flow out of the melt 4 through the annular gap 8 in the closed position.
- the inner element 6 is actuated upward, ie. H. moved to the molten metal 4.
- the annular gap 8 opens when the inner element 6 is moved downward away from the molten metal 4.
- a gas-tight volume 9 is arranged on the underside of the ceramic body 2, which is connected to a gas supply line for introducing purging gas.
- a conical sheet metal jacket 10 forms the side wall of the gas-tight housing 9 in such a way that the conical shape of the ceramic body 2 continues in the region of the housing 9.
- a base plate n sealed against the side wall 10 of the gas-tight housing 9 is further provided, the base plate n being connected via struts 12 to a fastening plate 13 attached to the underside of the ceramic body 2. Screws 14 anchored in the ceramic body 2 serve as fastening means in the gas purging device shown in FIG. 1.
- a pneumatic drive 15 is fastened to the fastening plate 13 by means of spacer bolts, not shown in FIG 5 of the ceramic body 2 is axially movable between the closed position and an open position.
- the pneumatic drive 15 is connected to the axially movable inner element 6 via a push rod 16.
- the push rod 16 is axially movably guided in a stuffing box 17.
- the spring 18 arranged by the spring force of the inner element 6 is held in the closed position.
- the spring 18 is supported on the stuffing box 17 on the one hand and on a pressure plate 19 on the other hand.
- the pressure plate 19 is movable up and down inside a membrane cylinder 20.
- the cylinder space of the membrane cylinder 20 is sealed from the inside of the gas-tight housing 9 by means of a deformable membrane 21.
- a vent pipe 22 led out of the gas-tight housing is connected to the cylinder space of the membrane cylinder 20.
- the valve function of the gas purging device shown in FIG. 1 is actuated by the pressure difference between the pressure of the purge gas inside the gas-tight housing 9 and the pressure in the cylinder space vented to the outside.
- the deformable membrane 21 closes the interior of the housing 9 in a gas-tight manner from the outside.
- the push rod 16 is designed as a tube which has holes in the upper region for introducing purging gas into the gas-tight housing 9. Due to the pressure difference between the pressure of the flushing gas prevailing in the gas-tight housing 9 and the ambient pressure, the membrane 21 deforms and bends downward. The inner element 6 connected to the membrane 21 via the push rod 16 is moved downward, so that the annular gap 8 opens. For this purpose, the force of the spring 18 must be overcome, which holds the inner element 6 reliably in the closed position.
- the spring 18 is located inside a spring housing 23, into which a prestressing ring 24 is screwed from below for prestressing the spring 18. With the preload ring 24, the preload of the spring 18 can be adjusted as required for the specific application.
- the spring 18 is supported upwards against a thrust washer 25 screwed to the membrane 21.
- the thrust washer 25 is screwed through the membrane 21 to a retaining ring 26, which in turn is gas-tightly welded to the push rod 16.
- the push rod 16 is connected to the inner element 6 of the ceramic body 2 via a joint 27.
- the joint 27 is formed by a connecting piece 28 which is received by a bearing pot 29.
- the bearing pot 29 is fastened to the inner element 6 from below by means of threaded bolts 30.
- the joint 27 can advantageously compensate for a lateral offset and also an angular offset of the push rod 16 relative to the inner element 6. Such an offset can easily occur due to the deformation of the membrane 21, which may not be precisely controllable, or else due to the thermal expansion of the entire device.
- the joint 27 prevents, above all, damage to the inner element 6, which is made of brittle ceramic material, from occurring when the gas purging device is actuated due to the offset occurring.
- FIGS. 3a and 3b show exemplary embodiments of the gas purging device according to the invention, which are designed similarly to the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2.
- the inner element 6 of the ceramic body 2 is shorter than the outer element 5, in such a way that the gas-tight closed volume 9 in the area below the inner element 6 in the Ceramic body extends into it.
- the deformable membrane 21 is formed by the sheet metal jacket 10 which surrounds the ceramic body 2 laterally and on its underside 7.
- annular support element in the form of a conical ring 31 is welded to the sheet metal jacket 10, which extends the sheet metal jacket 10 downwards.
- the ring 31 is in turn welded to struts 30 through which the spring housing 23 is supported.
- the embodiment shown in FIG. 3a is intended to be installed in a metallurgical melting vessel, similar to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, so that the device is flush with the wall of the vessel.
- a cylindrical ring 32 is welded to the sheet metal jacket 10 and protrudes from the bottom wall or from the side wall of the metallurgical vessel.
- the exemplary embodiments according to FIGS. 3a and 3b can be selected as required, depending on the available standing space in the vicinity of the metallurgical vessel and depending on the desired thickness of the ceramic body 2.
- FIG. 4 which shows the gas purging device according to FIG. 2 from below, it can be seen how the spring housing 23 is supported by the struts 30 which are welded to the wall 10.
- the purging gas is expediently supplied to the gas purging devices according to the invention by a 3-way valve arranged in the gas supply line, which is not shown in the figures.
- a 3-way valve ensures that the annular gap 8 closes again quickly enough when the valve is shut off.
- the purge gas supply is shut off, the gas under pressure in the housing 9 is simultaneously released into the environment. The full force of the spring 18 is then available for quickly closing the annular gap 8.
- more than just one spring 18 can also be provided for holding the inner element 6 of the ceramic body 2 in the closed position. It is possible to have a plurality of springs act on the membrane 21 outside the central axis of the gas purging device in order to further increase the reliability of the gas purging device.
- thermal insulation arranged between the ceramic body 2 and the spring 18.
- a suitable layer of thermally insulating material can be accommodated in the exemplary embodiments shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, for example, in the narrow gap between the outer element 5 of the ceramic body and the membrane 21. Such thermal insulation effectively protects the spring 18 against the high thermal load emanating from the molten metal.
