Abstract
A slag discharge door device for an electric furnace is provided. The device prevents slag from flowing out via a slag discharge port by making a discharge control door body move up and down to and from the upper surface of a supporting body where slag is discharged by flowing to the upper surface, and the discharge of slag is controlled, such that during steel-making work in the electric furnace, the outflow of slag is prevented and heat losses are reduced, the efficiency of arc heat due to the formation of foamed slag is increased, and valuable metals are recovered from the molten slag thereby increasing the percentage of molten steel recovered.
Claims7
A slag discharge door device for an electric furnace, comprising:
- a support body disposed at a lower portion of a slag discharge port formed on one side of the electric furnace, slag flowing out along an upper surface of the support body;
- a discharge control door body that is to vertically moved from the upper surface of the support body to control the discharge of the slag;
- a door actuator for vertically actuating the discharge control door body;
- a first guide plate member guiding a vertical motion of the discharge control door body while supporting a rear side thereof and having a discharge opening;
- and
- a second guide plate member guiding a vertical motion of the discharge control door body while supporting a front side thereof and having a discharge opening corresponding to that of the first guide plate member,
- wherein the support body comprises:
- a base support body member having a door accommodation part into which the discharge control door body is inserted;
- and
- a slag-guide support member mounted to the first and second guide plate members to surround a lower portion and opposite sides of the discharge opening.
