Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Lichtbogenofen.The invention relates to an electric arc furnace.
Zur Wiederaufarbeitung von Stahlschrott werden Lichtbogenöfen eingesetzt, bei denen der Stahlschrott mit Hilfe einer Elektrode und einem brennenden Lichtbogen erhitzt und schließlich aufgeschmolzen wird. Ein derartiger Lichtbogenofen umfasst ein Ofengefäß zum Schmelzen des Stahls und einen Deckel zum Verschließen des Ofengefäßes während des Schmelzprozesses. Zur Chargierung des Ofens mit Schrott und zu dessen Wartung ist es notwendig, das Ofengefäß zu öffnen und daher den Deckel aufzuschwenken. Dazu ist der Deckel über einen Pivot-Zylinder mit einer auch als Portal bezeichneten Schwenkeinheit verbunden. Mittels des Pivot-Zylinders wird der Deckel zunächst angehoben, so dass sich dieser vom Ofengefäß löst. Danach kann er mittels der Schwenkeinheit seitlich von dem Ofengefäß weggeschwenkt werden.For the reprocessing of steel scrap, electric arc furnaces are used in which the steel scrap is heated by means of an electrode and a burning arc and finally melted. Such an arc furnace comprises a furnace vessel for melting the steel and a lid for closing the furnace vessel during the melting process. For charging the furnace with scrap and for its maintenance, it is necessary to open the furnace vessel and therefore open the lid. For this purpose, the lid is connected via a pivot cylinder with a pivoting unit, also referred to as a portal. By means of the pivot cylinder, the lid is first lifted, so that it dissolves from the furnace vessel. Thereafter, it can be pivoted laterally away from the furnace vessel by means of the pivoting unit.
Zum Entleeren des flüssigen Stahls aus dem Ofengefäß wird dieses um eine senkrecht zur Längsachse des Ofens stehende Achse gekippt. Dazu ist das Ofengefäß auf einer Wiege gelagert, welche eine für diese Kippbewegung vorgesehene Abrollbahn umfasst. Bei einer derartigen Kippbewegung wird auch die Schwenkeinheit mit dem Deckel mitgekippt.For emptying the liquid steel from the furnace vessel this is tilted about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the furnace axis. For this purpose, the furnace vessel is mounted on a cradle which comprises a rolling path provided for this tilting movement. In such a tilting movement and the pivot unit is tilted with the lid.
Es ist nun Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung einen Lichtbogenofen anzugeben, mit dem der Öffnungsvorgang vereinfacht wird.It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric arc furnace with which the opening process is simplified.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch einen Lichtbogenofen mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1.This object is achieved by an electric arc furnace having the features of patent claim 1.
Der erfindungsgemäße Lichtbogenofen weist ein Ofengefäß zum Schmelzen von Stahl, einen Deckel zum Verschließen des Ofengefäßes und eine Schwenkeinheit auf, mit der der Deckel vom Ofengefäß wegbewegbar ist. Des Weiteren ist das Ofengefäß relativ zur Schwenkeinheit in vertikaler Richtung bewegbar gelagert. Außerdem weist die Schwenkeinheit eine Aufnahme zum lösbaren Fixieren des Deckels in vertikaler Richtung auf.The electric arc furnace according to the invention comprises a furnace vessel for melting steel, a lid for closing the furnace vessel and a pivoting unit with which the lid of the Oven vessel is moved away. Furthermore, the furnace vessel is mounted movable relative to the pivoting unit in the vertical direction. In addition, the pivot unit has a receptacle for releasably fixing the lid in the vertical direction.
Der erfindungsgemäße Lichtbogenofen unterscheidet sich also von einem aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Lichtbogenofen dadurch, dass das Ofengefäß relativ zur Schwenkeinheit in vertikaler Richtung bewegbar gelagert und der Deckel in einer Aufnahme der Schwenkeinheit lösbar fixierbar, also nicht fest mit der Schwenkeinheit verbunden ist.The electric arc furnace according to the invention thus differs from an electric arc furnace known from the prior art in that the furnace vessel is mounted so as to be movable relative to the pivoting unit in the vertical direction and the cover is detachably fixable in a receptacle of the pivoting unit, ie not fixedly connected to the pivoting unit.
In einer Position in der der Schmelzbetrieb erfolgt, ist der Deckel oberhalb des Ofengefäßes angeordnet, so dass dieser verschlossen ist. Dabei ist der Deckel nicht im Eingriff mit der Schwenkeinheit und ist somit mit dieser nicht verbunden. Die Schwenkeinheit ist während des Schmelzbetriebs dadurch frei und ohne Deckel bewegbar. Dadurch wird ein Nachsetzen der an der Schwenkeinheit angeordneten Elektroden vereinfacht.In a position in which the melting operation takes place, the cover is arranged above the furnace vessel, so that it is closed. In this case, the lid is not in engagement with the pivot unit and is therefore not connected to this. The swivel unit is therefore free to move during the melting operation without a lid. This simplifies readjustment of the electrodes arranged on the pivoting unit.
Um den Deckel des Lichtbogenofens vom Ofengefäß zu lösen wird dann zunächst durch eine Bewegung des Ofengefäßes relativ zur feststehenden Schwenkeinheit in vertikaler Richtung nach unten der Deckel in die Aufnahme der Schwenkeinheit eingehängt, so dass der Deckel in vertikaler Richtung fixiert ist. Nach dem Einhängen erfolgt eine weitergehende Bewegung des Ofengefäßes in vertikale Richtung nach unten, so dass der Deckel von dem Ofengefäß gelöst ist und danach vom Ofengefäß wegbewegt werden kann.In order to release the lid of the arc furnace from the furnace vessel is then hung by a movement of the furnace vessel relative to the stationary pivot unit in the vertical direction down the lid in the receptacle of the pivoting unit, so that the lid is fixed in the vertical direction. After hanging a further movement of the furnace vessel in the vertical direction is down, so that the lid is detached from the furnace vessel and can then be moved away from the furnace vessel.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung des Lichtbogenofens, insbesondere durch die in vertikaler Richtung bewegbare Lagerung des Ofengefäßes mit Deckel wird also erreicht, dass auf den Pivot-Zylinder verzichtet werden kann. Dies ergibt somit eine Einsparung an benötigten Bauteilen und der aufwändigen Bearbeitung des Deckelhubwerks.Due to the inventive design of the arc furnace, in particular by the movable in the vertical direction storage of the furnace vessel with lid is thus achieved that can be dispensed with the pivot cylinder. This results in a saving of required components and the complex processing of Deckelhubwerks.
Des Weiteren wird durch die feststehende Schwenkeinheit erreicht, dass beim Entleeren des Ofengefäßes und der damit verbundenen Kippbewegung des Ofengefäßes der Deckel und die Schwenkeinheit nicht mit dem Ofengefäß mitkippen, so dass ein Abstechen bei gleichzeitiger Energiezufuhr zum Ofen bzw. zu den Elektroden möglich ist, was eine Erhöhung der Zeit der Energiezufuhr insgesamt und dadurch eine höhere Produktivität zur Folge hat. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass bei dem Verbleib des Deckels in horizontaler Lage ein Arbeiten der Elektrodenregelung ermöglicht wird.Furthermore, it is achieved by the fixed pivot unit, that when emptying the furnace vessel and the associated tilting movement of the furnace vessel, the lid and the pivoting unit do not tilt with the furnace vessel, so that a parting with simultaneous power supply to the furnace or to the electrodes is possible, which an increase in the time of total energy input and thus higher productivity. This is achieved by making it possible to work the electrode control when the cover remains in a horizontal position.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist das Ofengefäß in einer in vertikaler Richtung bewegbaren Wiege gelagert. Eine derartige Wiege kann bevorzugt mittels Hydraulikzylinder bewegt werden. Somit wird durch das Betätigen der Hydraulikzylinder die Wiege und das darin gelagerte Ofengefäß in vertikaler Richtung nach unten bzw. oben bewegt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the furnace vessel is mounted in a movable cradle in the vertical direction. Such a cradle can preferably be moved by means of hydraulic cylinders. Thus, by operating the hydraulic cylinders, the cradle and the oven vessel stored therein are moved vertically downwards or upwards.
Wenn die Wiege mehrere getrennt ansteuerbare Hydraulikzylinder aufweist kann diese nicht nur in vertikaler Richtung nach oben und unten bewegt sondern auch zum Entleeren des Ofengefäßes gekippt werden.If the cradle has a plurality of separately controllable hydraulic cylinder, it can not only be moved in a vertical direction up and down but also tilted to empty the furnace vessel.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Deckel beim Verschließen des Ofengefäßes mittels auf der Wiege angeordneten Stützen abgestützt. Bei einer vertikalen Bewegung der Wiege mit den Stützen und somit auch des Ofengefäßes nach unten wird also nach der Fixierung des Deckels in der Aufnahme der Schwenkeinheit der Deckel auch von den Stützen gelöst.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the lid when closing the furnace vessel is supported by means arranged on the cradle supports. In a vertical movement of the cradle with the supports and thus also of the furnace vessel down so after the fixation of the lid in the receptacle of the pivoting unit, the lid is also released from the supports.
Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung wird der Deckel mittels der Schwenkeinheit durch eine Rotationsbewegung um eine in vertikale Richtung verlaufende Achse vom Ofengefäß wegbewegt. Der Deckel wird dadurch also seitlich vom Ofengefäß in horizontaler Richtung wegbewegt.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the lid is moved away by means of the pivoting unit by a rotational movement about an axis extending in the vertical direction of the furnace vessel. The lid is thereby moved away from the furnace vessel in the horizontal direction.
Die oben beschriebenen Eigenschaften, Merkmale und Vorteile dieser Erfindung sowie die Art und Weise, wie diese erreicht werden, werden klarer und deutlicher verständlich im Zusammenhang mit der folgenden Beschreibung der Ausführungsbeispiele, die im Zusammenhang mit den Zeichnungen näher erläutert werden.The above-described characteristics, features, and advantages of this invention, as well as the manner in which they will be achieved, will become clearer and more clearly understood in connection with the following description of the embodiments, which will be described in detail in conjunction with the drawings.

Zum Öffnen des Ofengefäßes 4 wird dieses relativ zu der in vertikaler Richtung feststehenden Schwenkeinheit 14 in vertikaler Richtung nach unten bewegt. Dies wird dadurch realisiert, dass die Hydraulikzylinder 10 in einen eingefahrenen Zustand bewegt werden und dadurch die Wiege 8 in vertikaler Richtung nach unten bewegt, also abgesenkt wird. Durch die Bewegung nach unten wird mit der Wiege 8 auch das Ofengefäß 4 und der Deckel 6 nach unten bewegt. Der Deckel 6 wird dabei solange mitbewegt, bis das Verbindungselement 18 in der Aufnahme 16 der Schwenkeinheit 14 zum Eingriff kommt und der Deckel 6 somit in der Schwenkeinheit 14 eingehängt ist. In diesem Fall kommt also das Verbindungselement 18 auf der Aufnahmefläche zum Aufliegen, eine weitere Bewegung des Deckels 6 in vertikaler Richtung ist somit nicht mehr möglich, da der Deckel 6 damit in vertikaler Richtung fixiert ist. Mittels des Zapfens wird der Deckel 6 auch zusätzlich in horizontaler Richtung fixiert, so dass lediglich eine Drehbewegung des Deckels 6 möglich ist.To open the
Bei einer weiteren relativen Bewegung der Wiege 8 mit Ofengefäß 4 zur Schwenkeinheit 14 in vertikaler Richtung nach unten wird somit der Deckel 6 nicht mitbewegt. Er bleibt vielmehr in der Aufnahme 16 der Schwenkeinheit 14 fixiert. Durch eine derartige Bewegung wird der Deckel 6 vom Ofengefäß 4 gelöst und hängt somit auskragend an der Schwenkeinheit 14. Eine derartige Situation ist in
Anschließend kann der Deckel 6 mittels der Schwenkeinheit 14 durch eine Rotationsbewegung um die in vertikaler Richtung verlaufende Achse A vom Ofengefäß 4 wegbewegt werden, wie es in
