Description

Fuel supply device

The present invention relates to a fuel supply device such as a burner for injecting fuel such as pulverized coal from the blast furnace tuyeres into the furnace.

In blast furnaces, in order to reduce the amount of coke used, fuel such as pulverized coal or heavy oil is blown into the furnace from the tuyere and burned. Such fuel such as pulverized coal is blown into the blast furnace together with hot air through a PC burner (hereinafter also simply referred to as a burner) installed in a state of passing through a blow pipe attached to the tuyere.

Conventional burners are made of highly heat-resistant materials such as SUS materials and special metal materials because they are exposed to high temperatures. However, troubles such as bending of the burner lance pipes due to heat still occur. There were problems such as damaging the mouth and reducing combustion efficiency. On the other hand, the lance pipe that has been deformed is replaced with a new one each time a trouble occurs in the lance pipe, so the amount of lance pipe consumption increases, and the operation of the blast furnace is stopped when the burner is replaced. Therefore, it was an economic burden because the wind had to be reduced and replaced.

In order to solve such a problem, in the burner disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 5105293, the lance pipe which is easily deformed can be rotated around its axis by slightly reducing the pushing force of the spring. Yes. In such a burner, when the lance pipe bends due to heat, it is possible to change the position of the bent portion by rotating the lance pipe appropriately while keeping the airtight state. Since the lance pipe can be kept substantially linear for a long time, damage to the tuyere and reduction in combustion efficiency can be effectively prevented.

In the blast furnace, the entire blast furnace is maintained once every 1 to 2 months, with a rest period of 12 to 72 hours. In addition, when there is a need for production adjustment, the wind is stopped. When such a blast furnace air break is performed, the supply of fuel such as high-temperature hot air or pulverized coal to the inside of the blast furnace is stopped, and the production is suspended. In addition, when the blast furnace is closed, the burner is also maintained. Specifically, the burner is removed from the blow pipe of the blast furnace, and the lance pipe is removed from the flange of the burner. However, in the burner disclosed in Patent Document 1, the lance pipe, the adapter, and the sleeve are integrated, and the adapter is also removed when the lance pipe is removed from the flange. The provided seal surface (specifically, the inclined surface formed on the entire outer periphery of the front end of the adapter and the inclined surface formed on the entire inner periphery of the rear end inner periphery of the screw cylinder of the flange) is exposed. End up. If such a seal surface is exposed, dust may adhere to the seal surface or scratches may occur on the seal surface.In this case, gas or dust may come from the seal surface during blast furnace operation. The problem of leaking arises. For this reason, field workers need to work with nervousness during the maintenance of the burner, and the burden on the field workers is large.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and can effectively prevent damage to the tuyere's tuyere and decrease in combustion efficiency because the pipe member can be maintained substantially linear for a long time. In addition, a seal surface provided between a cylindrical member attached to a mounting portion such as a flange provided on a blast furnace blast pipe and a rotating member accommodated in the cylindrical member is exposed. An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel supply device that can reduce the load on the field worker because only the pipe member can be replaced without any problems.

According to such a fuel supply device, since the pipe member is detachably attached to the blast furnace-side end edge of the rotating member that is rotatably accommodated inside the cylindrical member, the pipe member is bent by heat. When this occurs, the pipe member can be maintained in a substantially straight shape for a long time by rotating the pipe member appropriately while changing the position of the bent portion while keeping the airtight state. Damage and reduction in combustion efficiency can be effectively prevented. Moreover, the pipe member without exposing the sealing surface provided between the cylindrical member attached to the attachment portion such as a flange provided in the blast furnace blast pipe and the rotating member accommodated in the cylindrical member. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the load on the field worker.
