Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to a sinterstrand-charging device for charging a sinter mixture, i.e. a fine ore mixture and a fuel on a belt-type sintering machine so as to form a sinter bed.
  • a sinter mixture i.e. a fine ore mixture and a fuel
  • a belt-type sintering machine so as to form a sinter bed.
  • sintering is thus the agglomeration of fine-grained iron ores for blast furnace burden preparation.
  • a sinter mixture i.e. a fine ore mixture and a fuel
  • a sintering belt i.e. a conveyor belt designed as a grating.
  • the sintering belt with the mixture also called a sintering bed, passes over a large number of suction boxes. Air is drawn through the sintering bed via these suction boxes.
  • An ignition hood located above the first suction box ignites the sinter mix.
  • the combustion spreads from the top downwards through the sintering bed during passage over the other suction boxes.
  • the admixed fuel produces a temperature, which is just sufficient to soften the fine ore at its surface, so that the fine ore mixture agglomerates to form a sinter cake.
  • the combustion gases produced during sintering are exhausted with the combustion air via the suction boxes.
  • the sintering plants are usually equipped in such a way that the suction boxes are connected via an electrostatic filter (in some cases also a fabric filter) to a fan, which generates the required negative pressure under the sintering belt to draw the required combustion air through the sintering bed.
  • the cleaned gas mixture is then discharged by the fan into the atmosphere via a chimneystack.
  • JP 2001 -227872 discloses a two-layer feed of sintering material via a feeding bunker with two discharge openings.
  • the sintering material is charged into the feeding bunker in such a way that segregation occurs in it.
  • Each of the discharge openings is assigned a complete system comprising a feeding device, a feeding drum and a drum chute. Disadvantages of this variant are the high maintenance costs, and also a complicated and fault-susceptible control system for two feeding drums.
  • US 2008/0108006 A1 describes a feeding device for a belt-type sintering machine, with a feeding container for receiving the material to be sintered, with a conveying device for filling the feeding container with material to be sintered, with a feeding drum and a drum chute for feeding the material to be sintered onto the sintering belt, wherein the feeding container is provided with two discharge openings for the material to be sintered and the first discharge opening is connected to the feeding drum and the second discharge opening is connected to a feeding chute for feeding the material to be sintered onto the sintering belt, the conveying device being arranged in such a way that it has a point of impingement of the material to be sintered which lies in the half of the feeding container that is located over the first discharge opening and the second discharge opening is arranged in the region of the slope formed by the material to be sintered.
  • the present invention generally relates to a sinterstrand-charging device for charging a sinter mixture on a belt-type sintering machine so as to form a sinter bed as set out in the pre-characterizing portion of claim 1 .
  • the present invention proposes a sinterstrand-charging device for charging a sinter mixture on a belt-type sintering machine so as to form a sinter bed, said charging device comprising a feeding container for receiving the material to be sintered, a conveying device for filling the feeding container with material to be sintered, an extraction device for feeding the material to be sintered onto the sintering belt, wherein the feeding container is provided with a discharge opening for the material to be sintered.
  • Said extraction device comprises a plurality of extraction rollers, situated underneath the discharge opening, for extracting said material to be sintered from the feeding container, said extraction rollers are rotating around a central axis and each have a diameter, which covers between 5 and 50%of the discharge opening, a plurality of segregation rollers for segregating and deposing said extracted material to be sintered onto the sintering belt, wherein said extraction rollers are situated in a first plane and said segregation rollers are situated in a second plane.
  • the above described sinterstrand-charging device for charging a sinter mixture on a belt-type sintering machine is less complex and easier to maintain than the described prior art devices and nevertheless achieves a good segregation of the materials to be charged on the sinter belt.
  • a first notable difference with the prior art is that no feeder drum is used in the present invention. Instead of the feeder drum, it is proposed to use a series of extraction rollers, which rotate around their central axis.
  • Said extraction rollers each have a diameter, which covers preferably between 10% and 45% of the discharge opening, more preferably between 15% and 40% of the discharge opening, most preferably between 18% and 35% of the discharge opening.
  • Said extraction rollers and/or said segregation rollers may have minimum diameter of at least 50 mm. These rollers preferably have a maximum diameter of less than 500 mm. Preferably, the diameter said extraction rollers and/or said segregation rollers is at least 100 mm and less than 350 mm. [0020] Preferably, all the extraction rollers have the same diameter. Preferably, all the segregation rollers have the same diameter. More preferably all the rollers have the same diameter.
  • the diameter of the extraction rollers is between 1 ,2 and 5 times greater than the diameter of the segregation rollers.
  • the discharge opening preferably measures between 800 mm and 2000 mm. This means that 1 1 rollers of a diameter of about 80 mm in diameter with a gap of about 4 mm between the rollers can be placed underneath a discharge opening of about 800 mm knowing that the axes of the first roller is substantially aligned with the first wall of the feeding container.
  • the rotational speed of the extraction rollers and said segregation rollers is individually adjustable and is preferably less than 100 rpm but at least 5 rpm, preferably, the rotational speed of the extraction rollers and said segregation rollers less than 80 rpm but at least 10 rpm, more preferably less than 60 rpm but at least 12 rpm and most preferably than less 50 rpm but at least 15 rpm
  • the extraction rollers respectively the segregation rollers may be driven by a single motor or individual electrical motors may drive each roller. In the latter case, the speed of the rollers is individually adjustable.
  • the rotational speed of the extraction rollers is lower than the rotational speed of the segregation rollers.

  • the difference of rotational speed between one roller n n+ i is about 5%, preferably about 8% and most preferably about 10 % higher than the rotational speed of the roller n n , next to it .
  • the plane of the extraction rollers preferably forms an angle of between 0 and +45 degrees with the horizontal. More preferably, the angle of the extraction rolls with the horizontal is between 0 degrees and 20 degrees.
  • the plane of the segregation rollers preferably forms an angle of between 0 and -70 degrees with the horizontal. More preferably, the angle of the segregation rolls with the horizontal is between 0 degrees and -40 degrees.
  • the extraction rollers and the segregation rollers are in the same plane, i.e. the first and the second plane are identical.
  • the gap between the rollers may be individually adjusted.
  • the gap between each roller is preferably not larger than 10 mm. More preferably, the gap between each roller is preferably is between 2 and 8 mm.
  • a further advantage of the present charging device is that a different form of feeder container may be used. Indeed with the prior art feeder drum, feeder containers with a funnel shape lower part must be used whereas in the present case, straight wall feeder containers may be used. Because of the extraction rollers, the feeder container will be emptied "en masse" which means that the upper level of the material in the feeder container will remain substantially level: no funnels will be formed in the material during the emptying of the feeder container with the extraction rollers. As a consequence, larger capacity feeder containers may be used or the device can be made more compact.

  • FIG. 5 illustrates a fourth embodiment of a sinterstrand-charging device according to the invention
  • FIG. 1 A first traditional design of a sinterstrand-charging device 10 is depicted at Fig. 1 .
  • a hopper 12 si, feeding container
  • a relatively large feeder drum 14 which rotates around its central axis 16 and thereby extracts material from the hopper 12. It has to be noted that in this type of charging devices 10 only one feeder drum 14 is used per hopper 12 and that the diameter of said feeder drum 14 is much larger than the discharge opening 18 of the hopper 12.
  • the extracted material 20 falls on a segregation plate 22, which is situated below the feeder drum 14 and serves to deviate the fall of the extracted material 20 before it drops on the sintering belt (not shown).
  • a similar sinterstrand-charging device is known from JP 2005 2261 13 A.
  • a hopper 12 si, feeding container
  • a single, relatively large feeder drum which rotates around its central axis and thereby extracts material from the hopper.
  • the extracted material falls - in one embodiment as depicted in Fig. 1 of JP 2005 2261 13 A on a segregation plate, which is situated below the feeder drum and serves to deviate the fall of the extracted material before it drops on the sintering belt.
  • a segregation plate which is situated below the feeder drum and serves to deviate the fall of the extracted material before it drops on the sintering belt.
  • the extracted material falls on a series of segregation rollers, which are situated below the feeder drum and serve to deviate the fall of the extracted material and to segregate the material according to its size before it drops on the sintering belt.
  • the circumferential speed of each roller or roller group is controlled so that the speed on the upstream side is higher than the speed on the downstream side.
  • the diameter of the hopper 12 is not constant over its entire height but is funnel shaped at its lower end. Because of this funnel shaped lower end 24, material tends to stick to the walls of the hopper 12 at the border region between the funnel shaped lower end and the vertical, upper part 26 of the hopper and form accretions 28 at this place. This further reduces the useful diameter of the discharge opening 18 of the hopper 12 and the throughput of material changes over time. Costly maintenance works are therefore regularly required to eliminate the accretions 28 from the hopper 12.
  • the material extracted from the hopper 12 may also stick to the feeder drum 14 which therefore must be scraped clean of any such material before a complete revolution of the feeder drum 14 has occurred. This scraping of the feeder drum 14 will cause wear and the drum must eventually be replaced or repaired.
  • the material extracted from the hopper 12 first impacts the segregation plate 22 or segregation rollers before falling on the sintering belt. If the feed contains pellets, the pellets may break during the impact on the segregation plate/rollers and therefore lead to a lower quality of the sinter bed. Accretions (not shown) may also form on the segregation plate/rollers and especially at the point of impact, which will eventually require stopping the charging to eliminate these accretions. Costly maintenance and/or loss of performance are the consequence.
  • FIG.2 shows a diagrammatic view of a belt-type sintering machine 10 with a feeding device designed for sintering feed for a blast furnace plant (the blast furnace plant not being shown).
  • a sintering belt machine is depicted under reference No 30.
  • a feeding container 34 for the material to be sintered comprising a discharge opening 18 and an extraction device for feeding the material to be sintered onto the sintering belt 32.
  • Said extraction device comprises in this particular embodiment four extraction rollers 36, situated underneath the discharge opening 18, for extracting said material to be sintered from the feeding container 34. These extraction rollers 36 rotate around their central axis 16 and thus transport the material out of the feeding container via an adjustable discharge gate 38.
  • the material to be sintered is taken up by a second series of rollers, the five segregation rollers 40 and is deposited on the sintering belt 32 so as to form the sinter bed 44.
  • Another noteworthy feature of the device is that some of the material passes vertically through the gaps 46 between the extraction rollers 36 and segregation rollers 40. This fine-grained material will thus fall on top the sinter bed 44 that has already been deposited on the sintering belt 32, which advances underneath the feeding container 34.
  • the quantity and the grain size of the material that falls on the sinter bed 44 through the gaps 46 between the rollers 36, 40 depends on the size of gaps 46 between the rollers 36, 40, the rotational speed the rollers 36, 40 and the relative rotational speed of the rollers 36, 40 between each other.
  • rollers 36, 40 are self-cleaning. Indeed, there is no need to install a scrapper to scrap of any attached material from the rollers since they clean themselves. Indeed any accretions formed on a roller will be removed by the rotation of an adjacent roller.
  • a scrapper 48 installed downstream from the feeding container 34 flattens the sinter bed 44 and scrapes of any surplus material so as to obtain a sinter bed 44 of a predetermined height and with a level surface.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of a sinterstrand-charging device 10, wherein seven extraction rollers 36 are used and are numbered ni, n 2 , n 3 , to n x .
  • the rotational speed of the extraction rollers 36 is not the same, but the extraction roller ni, situated at the left hand side of Fig 3 revolves slower than the roller n 2 , situated on the right side, next to it.
  • Roller n 2 rotates slower than roller n 3 and so on, so that the rotational speed of the rollers increases from the left hand side of Fig. 3 i.e. the downstream side relative to the sinter belt to the right hands side of Fig. 3, i.e. the upstream side relative to the sinter belt.
  • the speed of the roller n n+ i > n n This allows to evacuate the material to be sintered smoothly from the feeding the container.
  • the extraction rollers are situated in a first plane 50 whereas the segregation rollers are situated in a second plane 52.
  • the first plane 50 of the extraction rollers 36 is horizontal whereas the second plane 52 of the segregation rollers 40 is at an angle of about - 45° in relation to the horizontal.
  • a particularity of this design of a sinterstrand- charging device 10 consists in the fact that the angle of the second plane 52 in which the segregation rollers 40 are situated is adjustable. As a consequence of the variation of the angle of the segregation rollers, the quality of the segregation can be influenced.
  • Fig. 3A shows the extraction rollers n1 , n2 and n3 of Fig 3 in more detail and in particular shows the gaps D1 , D2 and D3 between the rollers.
  • the gap of D1 ⁇ D2 ⁇ D3 etc. The fact that the size of the gaps may increase from the left to right side of Fig.3 i.e. from the first extraction roller and the last extraction roller close to the discharge gate allows to deposit finer grained material on the top of the sinter which travels below the feeding container from the right hand site to the left hand side. Good quality segregation on the sinter bed may thus be obtained.
  • the angle of the first plane 50 i.e. the plane in which the extraction rollers 36 are situated
  • the angle of the second plane 52 i.e. the plane in which the segregation rollers 40 are situated
  • the diameter of the extraction rollers 36 is larger than the diameter of the segregation rollers 40, whereas in the embodiments of the other Figs, the diameter of all the rollers 36, 40 are the same.
  • the first plane 50 of the extraction rollers 36 and the second plane 52 of the segregation rollers 40 are both horizontal.
  • the feeding container 34 has straight vertical walls 54 and does not require to a funnel shaped lower part as is the case in the traditional hoppers using a drum feeder. The problems with accretions that is seen in the traditional hoppers is thus avoided since in the present configuration, the feed descends "en masse" and the upper surface 56 of the feeding material in the feeding container 34 remains level.
  • the present invention not only enables an important increase in operational efficiency of a sinterstrand-charging device, especially for blast furnace and non-ferrous operations, but also permits reliable operation at lower capital and operating expenditure.
