Definitions
- the invention relates to an electric arc furnace.
- an arc furnace 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.
- the lid For charging the furnace with scrap and for its maintenance, it is necessary to open the furnace vessel and therefore open the lid.
- 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.
- the furnace vessel For emptying the liquid steel from the furnace vessel this is tilted about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the furnace axis.
- 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.
- the electric arc furnace 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.
- 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.
- the cover 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.
- 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.
- the furnace vessel is mounted in a movable cradle in the vertical direction.
- a cradle can preferably be moved by means of hydraulic cylinders.
- the hydraulic cylinders By operating the hydraulic cylinders, the cradle and the oven vessel stored therein are moved vertically downwards or upwards.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Fig. 1 an arc furnace 2 is shown having a furnace vessel 4 for melting steel and a lid 6 for closing the furnace vessel.
- the lid 6 is in a position in which it closes the oven vessel 4, as is the case during the melting operation of steel.
- the furnace vessel 4 is mounted on a cradle 8, which has a plurality of separately controllable hydraulic cylinders 10.
- the hydraulic cylinders 10 are in Fig. 1 shown in its extended position.
- the cradle 8 is thus movable in the vertical direction downwards or upwards, whereby the furnace vessel 4 is movable in the corresponding direction.
- the lid 6 of the arc furnace 2 in the closed state of the furnace vessel 4, as in Fig. 1 is supported.
- a portal pivot unit 14 is also fixed, which only is mounted rotatably about its axis A.
- the pivoting unit 14 serves to move the lid 6 away from the oven vessel 4.
- the pivoting unit 14 also has a receptacle 16 in which the lid can be fixed in the vertical direction.
- the receptacle 16 is formed in the embodiment shown by a support surface and a pin, in which a correspondingly shaped connection unit 18 of the lid can engage.
- the lid 6 by means of the pivoting unit 14 by a rotational movement about the in the vertical direction extending axis A are moved away from the furnace vessel 4, as in Fig. 3 is shown.
- the furnace vessel 4 in the open state and can be charged, for example, with scrap.
- the lid 6 is in this situation laterally of the furnace vessel. 4
- the lid 6 can then be moved back to the furnace vessel 4, so that in turn the in Fig. 2 shown situation is reached, in which the lid 6 is again arranged above the furnace vessel 4. Subsequently, when the cradle 4 is moved upwardly in the vertical direction by means of the hydraulic cylinders 10, the cover 6 is lifted out of the receptacle 14 of the pivoting unit 16, thereby releasing the fixing in the vertical direction. The cover 6 is then supported again on the supports 12, as it is in Fig. 1 is shown.
- the inventive design of the arc furnace 2 is thus a pivot cylinder, as it is required in a known from the prior art electric arc furnace dispensable. As a result, fewer components are needed and the opening process of the furnace vessel 4 is simplified.
