Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a lance, including a lance head having: a first tube; a second tube, in which the first tube is fitted over the second one; and a through hole tube, in which the through-hole tube has a plurality of axial through holes, a second channel is defined by the first tube, the second tube and the through hole tube, and a first channel is defined by an inner cavity of the second tube and the plurality of axial through holes; an air inlet tube in fluid communication with the second channel; and an air inlet seat connecting with the second tube and having an air inlet channel which is in fluid communication with the first channel. The lance according to the present disclosure can spray uniform gas and can reduce energy consumption. The present disclosure also discloses a multi-fluid lance device equipped with the lance.

Claims (39)

1. A lance, comprising:

a lance head having:

a first tube;

a second tube, wherein the first tube is fitted over the second tube, and a preset distance is provided between a first end of the first tube and a first end of the second tube; and

a through hole tube, wherein the through hole tube has a plurality of axially extending through holes, a second end of the through hole tube is coaxially end-to-end connected to the first end of the second tube, the through hole tube is located between the first end of the first tube and the first end of the second tube, a second channel is defined by the first tube, the second tube and the through hole tube, and a first channel is defined by an inner cavity of the second tube and the plurality of axially extending through holes;

an air inlet tube in fluid communication with the second channel to feed a second fluid into the second channel;

an air inlet seat connected with the second tube and having an air inlet channel which is in fluid communication with the first channel to feed a first fluid into the first channel; and

a positioning device, wherein the positioning device comprises:

a fixing frame fitted over the first tube of the lance head and suitable to be fixed on a smelting furnace body;

a ferrule installed between the fixing frame and the first tube and fixed to the fixing frame; and

a puller bolt passing through the ferrule and abutting against the first tube to fix the lance on the smelting furnace body.

2. The lance according to claim 1 , wherein the first tube, the second tube and the through hole tube are coaxial.

3. The lance according to claim 2 , wherein a length of the through hole tube is 100-800 mm.

4. The lance according to claim 1 , wherein the first tube, the second tube and the through hole tube have circular cross sections.

5. The lance according to claim 2 , wherein the first tube, the second tube and the through hole tube have circular cross sections.

6. The lance according to claim 3 , wherein the first tube, the second tube and the through hole tube have circular cross sections.

7. The lance according to claim 4 , wherein a plurality of grooves extending along the whole length of the through hole tube in an axial direction and spaced apart in a circumferential direction is provided in an peripheral wall of the through hole tube.

8. The lance according to claim 7 , wherein a cross section of each groove is in the shape of a substantially rectangle or a semicircle.

9. The lance according to claim 7 , wherein the plurality of grooves in the lance is evenly distributed along a circumferential direction.

10. The lance according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of axially extending through holes in the through hole tube comprises a central through hole and a plurality of outer circumferential through holes around the central hole.

11. The lance according to claim 10 , wherein the plurality of outer circumferential through holes is distributed in a plurality of concentric circles, and the outer holes in each concentric circle are evenly distributed along a circumferential direction.

12. The lance according to claim 11 , wherein the plurality of concentric circles is evenly distributed along a radial direction.

13. The lance according to claim 1 , wherein a cross sectional area of the air inlet channel in the air inlet seat becomes smaller and smaller gradually from a second end to a first end of the air inlet seat, and the first end of the air inlet seat is connected to the second end of the second tube.

14. The lance according to claim 13 , wherein the air inlet channel and the first channel are coaxial.

15. The lance according to claim 13 , further comprising an inlet box connected with the first end of the air inlet seat and having an air cavity therein, and the air cavity makes the air inlet tube and the second channel in communication.

16. The lance according to claim 15 , wherein the second end of the second tube is connected to the first end of the air inlet seat through threaded connection, and a first end of the inlet box is fitted over a second end of the first tube through threaded connection, and the air inlet tube is connected to an outer wall of the inlet box.

17. A multi-fluid lance device, comprising:

a lance, comprising

a lance head having:

a first tube,

a second tube, wherein the first tube is fitted over the second tube, and a preset distance is provided between a first end of the first tube and a first end of the second tube, and

a through hole tube, wherein the through hole tube has a plurality of axially extending through holes, a second end of the through hole tube is coaxially end-to-end connected to the first end of the second tube, the through hole tube is located between the first end of the first tube and the first end of the second tube, a second channel is defined by the first tube, the second tube and the through hole tube, and a first channel is defined by an inner cavity of the second tube and the plurality of axially extending through holes,

an air inlet tube in fluid communication with the second channel to feed a second fluid into the second channel;

an air inlet seat connected with the second tube and having an air inlet channel which is in fluid communication with the first channel to feed a first fluid into the first channel;

a positioning device, wherein the positioning device comprises:

a fixing frame fitted over the first tube of the lance head and suitable to be fixed on a smelting furnace body;

a ferrule installed between the fixing frame and the first tube and fixed to the fixing frame; and

a puller bolt passing through the ferrule and abutting against the first tube to fix the lance on the smelting furnace body; and

a third fluid tube in fluid communication with the second channel fluid to feed a third fluid into the second channel.
