Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an oxygen tilting converter provided with a suspension system for the converter container, connecting said container to a trunnion ring.
  • the main functions of the oxygen converter also known as B.O.F. (Basic Oxygen Furnace) are to decarburize and remove phosphorus from the cast iron and optimize the temperature of the steel so that further treatments can be implemented prior to casting with minimum heating and cooling of the steel.
  • B.O.F. Basic Oxygen Furnace
  • the exothermic oxidation reactions occurring in the converter produce much heat energy, more than is necessary to reach the set temperature of steel. This extra heat is used to melt scrap and/or additions of iron ore.
  • the B.O.F. container being substantially a furnace, is also subject to strong thermal expansion.
  • the converter consists of a container, defining the reactor and having generally a central cylindrical body, hemispherical bottom or substantially truncated cone bottom and a substantially truncated cone upper zone provided with a loading mouth.
  • the container or vessel is supported by an annular support structure (trunnion ring), which coaxially surrounds it and is suitably spaced apart therefrom.
  • the trunnion ring has two diametrically opposite supporting pins (trunnion pins), which define a rotation axis of the entire system to allow both the loading of the material to be melted (or of the already molten cast iron coming from upstream processes) and the tapping of the molten material and all the other activities related to steel production.
  • the whole system is supported by two supports anchored to the ground.
  • the rotation control of the container is keyed on one of the two trunnion pins.
  • Suspension elements are suitably provided for the container of the converter, connecting the container to the trunnion ring.
  • tie-rods are arranged in a distributed manner along the trunnion ring and the axis of the tie-rods being preferably parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container, orthogonal to the ground, and therefore vertically when the container is arranged with the loading mouth facing upwards.
  • the tie-rods could also be arranged with a certain angle with respect to the ground, other than 90°.
  • the solution with lamellae provides for the single lamellae or the lamellae packs being arranged in a distributed manner below the trunnion ring, considering the converter in its straight position with the loading mouth facing upwards.
  • the single lamellae or the lamellae packs are generally arranged tilted by an angle of about 20-25° with respect to a respective vertical plane containing the longitudinal axis defined by the converter.
  • the single lamellae or the lamellae packs are instead arranged parallel to a respective vertical plane containing the longitudinal axis of the converter.
  • the present invention therefore aims to achieve the objects outlined above by implementing a tilting converter which, according to claim 1, comprises:
  • the monitoring system of the deformation of suspension elements aims at quantifying the deformation of the vertical suspension elements of a BOF, whether they are tie-rods or lamellae, preferably through the use of measuring instruments of the deformations to which the surface of the suspension element to which they are applied is subjected.
  • a preferred solution of the invention contemplates the use of strain gauges or similar devices applied to the tie-rods or to the lamellae.
  • Strain gauges are measuring instruments used to detect dimensional deformations of a body subjected to stress. Strain gauges have the property of varying their internal resistance depending on the deformation to which the surface to which they are applied is subjected. They consist of a circuit made of a sensitive element, usually a very fine wire of metal or semiconductor material, which varies its resistance according to the deformation it receives from the body to which it is applied. Measuring the above resistance variations by means of a Wheatstone bridge or other similar devices, it is possible to derive the extent of the deformation which caused them.
  • Strain gauges suitable for temperatures up to 250 °C, can for example be glued onto the tie-rods or on the lamellae which connect the trunnion ring to the vessel walls.
  • Such a converter 1 comprises:
  • a plane Y-Z is defined which can be considered an "equatorial" plane of the converter, and a plane X-Z, both orthogonal to plane X-Y.
  • container 2 comprises a central cylindrical zone 20 and two truncated cone zones 21, 22, each truncated cone zone being arranged laterally to said central cylindrical zone.
  • a first truncated cone zone 21 is welded at one end to said central cylindrical zone 20 while at the other end it comprises the loading mouth 4 of the container.
  • the side discharge hole is provided in said first truncated cone zone 21.
  • a second truncated cone zone 22 is welded at one end to said central cylindrical zone 20, on the side opposite to the first truncated cone zone 21, while at the other end it comprises bottom 2' of container 2.
  • the second zone 22 comprises a truncated cone section closed by a hemispherical bottom.
  • a further alternative contemplates that the second area 22 is totally hemispherical.
  • the trunnion ring 3, arranged at the central zone 20 of container 2, is hollow and preferably has a rectangular cross section.
  • Ring 3 has a surface 10 facing towards the part of the container comprising the loading mouth 4; a surface 11, opposite to surface 10, facing towards the part of container 2 comprising its bottom 2'; an inner surface facing towards the central part of the container; an outer surface opposite to the inner surface.
  • Such a converter includes:
  • each group 12 may consist of two or three or more than four suspension elements 7.
  • the four groups 12 of suspension elements 7 may be arranged at a same angular distance between one group and the next one (90°) so as to obtain a balanced distribution of loads for each group 12 of suspension elements 7.
  • Groups 12 of suspension elements 7 are arranged symmetrically with respect to plane X-Z and plane X-Y.
  • the four groups 12 of suspension elements 7 can be arranged still symmetrically but closer to the trunnion pins. Therefore, the groups are no longer spaced apart from one another by 90°.
  • three groups of vertical suspension elements may be provided, arranged at a same angular distance between one group and the next one (120°).
  • the vertical suspension elements 7 for the vertical suspension of the converter are longitudinal bars interlocked at a first end to container 2, preferably at a cantilever shelf of said container, and interlocked at a second end to the trunnion ring 3, preferably to the upper zone or surface 10 of said trunnion ring.
  • the longitudinal bars 7 are locked at the ends to prevent the presence of parts with relative motion, and since there are no parts subject to wear, maintenance works are eliminated or at least greatly reduced.
  • Bars 7, acting as tie-rods or struts can be adjusted to compensate for any unevenness in the length of the bars, thus ensuring a correct positioning thereof during assembly.
  • Bars 7 are suitably sized to operate as elastic support means to absorb expansions.
  • Said bars 7 preferably have a circular section. However, other section shapes may be contemplated according to the design longitudinal extension of the bars.
  • an advantageous configuration of the converter includes:
  • Each suspension device 8 is provided in the space between two groups of elastic bars 7 and arranged in the vicinity of the first surface 10 of ring 3 ( Figure 2 ). Alternatively, each suspension device 8 may be arranged in the vicinity of the second surface 11 of the ring.
  • the four groups of elastic bars 7 are arranged so that two pairs of groups of bars 7 are arranged mutually symmetrically with respect to plane X-Y.

  • the suspension devices 8 are further arranged symmetrically with respect to plane X-Z. Considering the converter in vertical position, bars 7 are in vertical position while the suspension devices 8 are in horizontal position. Bars 7 orthogonally cross plane Y-Z.
  • the suspension devices 8 are instead parallel to plane Y-Z and cross plane X-Y.
  • a pair of suspension devices 8 is arranged at a first side of plane Y-Z, i.e.

  • Both the fixing supports 14, welded or bolted to container 2, and the first surface 10 of ring 3 have through holes in which the elastic bars 7 are inserted; the ends of such bars are threaded and the blocking thereof on supports 14 and on the first surface 10 of the ring is by means of a self-aligning locking system and nuts.
  • the elastic bars 7 cross, at least with an end thereof, the cavity of ring 3, optionally within a respective sleeve having the function of delimiting the passage channel of the respective bar 7.
  • a single fixing support 14 may be provided for each group 12 of elastic bars 7.
  • the elastic bars 7 are attached to container 2 in a position below the trunnion ring 3, i.e. below plane Y-Z; while they are attached to ring 3 directly on the first surface 10 of the latter, i.e. above plane Y-Z.
  • the suspension devices 8 may be, for example, of the type (half) shown in Figure 3 , comprising a central structure 8' attached to a container 2; a first side structure 29 arranged at a side of said central structure 8' and attached to surface 10 of the trunnion ring 3 of the container; a second side structure (not shown) arranged at a second side of said central structure 8', opposite the first side and attached on said surface 10 of the trunnion ring 3; wherein two wedge-shaped elements 15 are provided, each wedge-shaped element 15 being arranged between the central structure 8' and a respective side structure and configured so as to slide on two sliding surfaces of the central structure 8' and of the respective side structure, respectively; wherein each wedge-shaped element 15 is crossed by at least one tie-rod 16 connected thereto; and wherein the elastic means associated to the at least one tie-rod 16 or said at least one tie-rod with its intrinsic elasticity are configured to produce a constant wedging of the wedge-shaped element 15 so that an automatic adjustment of the suspension device 8
