Description
FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, and particularly to a power supply device and a power supply method for a DC electric arc furnace.


BACKGROUND ART OF THE INVENTION

A DC power supply for a DC electric arc furnace is core equipment of the DC electric arc furnace, which is usually comprised of step-down transformers, rectifying devices and a series reactor. A direct current enters electrodes through a short network, and at least one top electrode and one bottom electrode are arranged in the DC electric arc furnace. Arc discharge is generated by controlling the distance between the top electrode and the bottom electrode to melt a metal material.


A traditional DC power supply for a DC electric arc furnace is a power supply with a certain DC capacity, an output voltage is adjusted by adjusting a tap voltage of a rectifier transformer, an electric arc is generated by adjusting the distance between the top electrode and the bottom electrode (fixed) through an electrode regulation system, and stable discharge burning of the electric arc is maintained by detecting an output current or voltage to adjust the distance between the top electrode and the bottom electrode. When the output voltage is adjusted by adjusting a tap voltage of a rectifier transformer, the range of voltage regulation is limited. When the electric arc is stabilized by adjusting the distance between the top electrode and the bottom electrode, as the position change of the bottom electrode (steel scrap melting or molten pool fluctuation) in a furnace burden melting process and the intensity change of an electric field in the furnace result in an arc current change in the dynamic electrical characteristics of the electric arc during use, an arc column of the electric arc cannot rapidly enter a next stable point, thereby causing the regulation system to be either overshot or repeatedly shaken, and in some cases, instability of a short network system will be aggravated.


At present, in order to improve the steelmaking quality of the electric arc furnace, although a series of technologies are developed at home and abroad to prevent the above situations from occurring in the electrode regulation system of the electric arc furnace, the effect is not ideal; the existing electric arc furnace regulator still has the problem that the electric arc furnace regulator can only implement regulation by judging the change of arc current, voltage or impedance, but cannot judge the actual change of the arc column of electric arc with the furnace condition, causing that the regulation system of the electric arc furnace cannot guarantee the stable realization of the optimal function for a long time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As mentioned in the background art of the invention, and as shown in FIG. 1, a power supply for a DC electric arc furnace in the prior art is usually comprised of phase-shifting rectifier transformers 1, rectifiers 2 and a series reactor 3. An input end of each phase-shifting rectifier transformer 1 is connected to a power grid, a plurality of branches are led out from an output end of the phase-shifting rectifier transformer 1, each branch is respectively connected in series with one rectifier 2 and the reactor 3, and outputs of the plurality of branches are connected in parallel and then connected to a power supply short network of a DC electric arc furnace through bus bars 5, so that a current output topological structure is formed, and a rectifying power supply is obtained; an alternating current provided by the power grid is supplied to an electrode assembly of the DC electric arc furnace after voltage reduction, rectification and confluence, wherein the electrode assembly comprises top electrodes 61 and a bottom electrode 62, the top electrodes 61 are removable electrodes (the top electrodes 61 are arranged on a lifting mechanism), the bottom electrode 62 is a fixed electrode, and arc discharge is generated by controlling the distance between the top electrodes 61 and the bottom electrode 62 to melt a metal material.


The inventor finds through study that: based on the structure shown in FIG. 1, the output voltage of a traditional power supply for a DC electric arc furnace is usually adjusted by adjusting a tap voltage of a rectifier transformer 1, by the range of voltage regulation is limited. At the same time, an electric arc is generated by adjusting the distance between the top electrodes 61 and the bottom electrode 62 through an electrode regulation system, as the position change of the bottom electrode 62 (steel scrap melting or molten pool fluctuation) in a furnace burden melting process and the intensity change of an electric field in the furnace result in an arc current change in the dynamic electrical characteristics of the electric arc during use, an arc column of the electric arc cannot rapidly enter a next stable point, thereby causing the regulation system to be either overshot or repeatedly shaken, and even instability of a short network system will be aggravated. Stable discharge burning of the electric arc is maintained by detecting an output current or voltage through the electrode regulation system to adjust the distance between the top electrodes 61 and the bottom electrode 62; when an input power is large, the current density of an input current exceeds that of a single electrode (top electrode 61 or bottom electrode 62); two or more top electrodes 61 (graphite electrodes) are connected through one rectifying power supply to input electrical energy; as the burning losses of the graphite electrodes are different due to arc burning, the positions of two or more top electrodes 61 relative to the bottom electrode 62 are different in a smelting process, causing that the input current is unbalanced, arc current cannot be effectively stabilized by the electrode regulation system, and current fluctuation is amplified. In addition, due to the characteristics of smelting conditions of the electric arc furnace, the current changes sharply and shortly, and overload often occurs; in order to avoid frequent overcurrent damage to DC rectifying power supply, equipment allowances of the phase-shifting rectifier transformers 1 and the rectifiers 2 are amplified, which results in equipment waste.


Based on this, the present invention proposes a power supply device for a DC electric arc furnace, wherein the power supply device comprises: phase-shifting rectifier transformers, rectifying units and a regulator;

Correspondingly, the number of the electrode assemblies of the DC electric arc furnace is not limited to one, the DC electric arc furnace can comprises a plurality of electrode assemblies, the top electrodes in the plurality of electrode assemblies are independent of each other, and the plurality of electrode assemblies can share one bottom electrode. As shown in FIG. 2, M electrode assemblies share one bottom electrode 62. It can be understood that, the bottom electrodes in the plurality of electrode assemblies can also be independent of each other.


Wherein the current output topological structure corresponding to each phase-shifting rectifier transformer is the same, as shown in FIG. 2, an input end of each phase-shifting rectifier transformer M-1 is connected to a power grid, a plurality of branches are led out from an output end of the phase-shifting rectifier transformer M-1, each branch is respectively connected to one rectifying unit which is composed of a rectifier M-2 and a DC chopper M-3, and outputs of a plurality of rectifying units are connected in parallel and then connected to a power supply short network of a DC electric arc furnace through bus bars M-5, so that a current output topological structure is formed; an alternating current provided by the power grid is supplied to an electrode assembly (top electrodes M-61 and a bottom electrode 62) of the DC electric arc furnace after voltage reduction, phase shifting, rectification, chopping and confluence; similarly, the lifting mechanism of the top electrodes M-61 is controlled by the regulator 4 to adjust positions of the top electrodes M-61, and the DC chopper M-3 is controlled by the regulator 4 to adjust an output voltage value and an output current value of the DC chopper M-3;
