Definitions

  • the invention relates to a Elektrodentragarmsystenn, preferably for electric arc furnaces and ladle furnaces, for attaching graphite electrodes.
  • the vertical movements are realized with a hydraulic or electromechanical lifting system on which the electrode support arm is mounted. Reversible clamps allow the graphite electrodes to be loosened and adjusted according to the burnup.
  • the invention has therefore set itself the goal of improving the Elektrodentragarmsystem.
  • the water flow is channeled and influenced in such a way that optimal flow velocities of the cooling medium are present at each point of the electrode support arm in order to ensure optimum heat dissipation.
  • the internals prevent any deposits from the cooling medium, since the flow rate in the electrode support arm can be kept relatively constant.
  • the invention relates to an electrode support system in which the electrode support arm is made of aluminum, steel with externally applied copper, or another material which is a good conductor of current, through an integrated potential-free electrode clamping device which makes it possible to implement these without insulating parts in the electrode support arm.
  • the clamping device is installed so modular within the Elektrodentragarms that bear the contact surfaces of the plate springs in the tensioned state, but not firmly connected to the lifting cylinder. This device allows installation without sensitive insulation materials. In case of repair, the components can be removed and installed without much effort because of the compact modular design, without having to dismantle the electrode support arm.
  • the design of the clamping device further allows to detect and monitor the state of the electrode contact pressure with a sensor.
  • the holding force generated by cup spring packs is thus detected and when falling below the previously defined minimum holding force is warned, so that in time a necessary replacement of the plate spring packages can be performed. This ensures that correctly working disc springs are not removed too early or too late in the event of a weakening holding force, which can otherwise result in unintentional arcing between the clamping device and the graphite electrode.
  • Electrode breakage monitoring can prevent damage to the electrode support arm and prevent production interruptions.
  • the screw connection remains unaffected by the magnetic field of the electric arc furnace, so that a resulting foreign heating is eliminated.
  • the screwed connections are therefore not subject to strength-reducing operating conditions. Likewise, the insulation is not exposed to uncontrolled thermal stress.
  • connection electrode support arm / guide column shows the connection electrode support arm / guide column.
  • each electrode support arm 1 is assigned a guide column 3, with the head region of which the respective electrode support arm is detachably connected.
  • An example of the connection is shown in FIG. 3, wherein here an insulating plate 6 arranged between the guide column head and the electrode support arm is shown.
  • the actual, releasable connection is made by screws 7 made of antimagnetic material.
  • the front region of the electrode support arm 1 -the electrode support arm head 13 -with the electrode holder 2 is reproduced in detail in FIG.
  • the holder 2 comprises the electrode (which is not shown here) over a large part of its circumference and presses it against the contact jaw fifth
  • the holder 2 comprising the electrode is operatively connected via the arms 11 to a disc spring pact 8 arranged in the interior of the front electrode carrier arm 13, this disc spring packet 8 bearing the holder - and thus the electrode - against the contact pad 5 draws.
  • the operative connection between the holder 2 or its arms 11 takes place via the pin 12 penetrating the plate spring package.
  • the bolt 12 On the back side, ie on the end facing away from the holder 2, the bolt 12 is in operative connection with a lifting cylinder 9, with the bolt against the pressure of the disc spring 8 of the bolt 12 in the direction of the holder is movable, so that the holder 2 opens slightly and thus An exchange of the electrode or a repositioning can be done according to the burnup.
  • the electrode support arms 1 and their front electrode support arm 13, to which the holder 2 is respectively connected, are water cooled, wherein it is essential that the flow guide for the cooling water inside the Electrodentragarmes and the Elektrodentragarmkopfes so that the flow rate at each point of the electrode support arm is optimal, so that optimal heat dissipation can be achieved.

Abstract

Système à bras support d'électrodes pour fours métallurgiques. L'invention concerne un système à bras support d'électrodes pour fours métallurgiques, comprenant un bras support d'électrodes (1) présentant à sa partie avant, une tête (13) de bras support d'électrodes configurée en tant que dispositif support d'électrodes, qui est conçu en tant que profilé creux, doté d'une paroi formée, au moins partiellement, en un matériau électroconducteur d'une conductivité élevée, à travers lequel peut circuler un agent réfrigérant. Il est prévu, à l'intérieur du bras support d'électrodes (1) configuré comme profilé creux, et du dispositif support d'électrodes configuré sur la tête (13) du bras support d'électrodes, de disposer des tôles de guidage d'écoulement et/ou des corps de refoulement, à travers lesquels le courant d'agent réfrigérant peut être canalisé et influencé eu égard à la vitesse d'écoulement, de façon qu'on obtienne, à chaque emplacement à l'intérieur du bras support d'électrodes (1) et de la tête (13) du bras support d'électrodes, des vitesses d'écoulement optimales du milieu réfrigérant, cependant que des zones à charge thermique élevée, telles que les surfaces de contact à la tête (13) du bras support d'électrodes, peuvent être refroidies de manière plus intensive que d'autres zones, à charge thermique moins élevée, dudit bras support d'électrodes (1).
