2) Water-cooled furnace roof
The combination of big furnace roof and small central furnace roof is adopted in the furnace
roof, and two pieces are to be adopted in the design to facilitate transportation.
-7-
The comprises left-half roof, right-half roof, alloy receiving hopper mechanism, elbow for
dust removal and smoke discharge as well as central roof water-cooling ring. And the main
structural frame of left and right half roof shall be made into the shape of round ring with
19412 seamless steel pipe, which not only satisfies the requirements for strength of the
structural member but also can be used as total water intake and backwater pipeline.
Water-cooling pipelines shall be connected through the total water intake and backwater
pipeline.
Alloy receiving hopper mechanism, installed on the furnace roof, is composed of the hopper,
pneumatic valves, tipping tube and pneumatic system. The lower part of the tipping tube is
designed as the water-cooling structure. The pneumatic gate valve controls the start-stop
through electric directional-control valve of pneumatic system. When the alloy material is not
charged, the valve of the tipping tube should be closed to avoid the overflow of the smog. The
start stop of the gate valve is controlled by gas cylinder.

3) Furnace tilting mechanism
Furnace tilting mechanism is composed of cradle platform, tilting track, tilting hydraulic
cylinder and front bearing structure as well as platform bearing mechanism.
Cradle platform and cradle platform horizontal track are welded with steel plate. Cradle
platform is located at the side of tapping slag and adopts heat insulation protection with
bottom to avoid thermal deformation. The upper part of the tilting cradle platform is box-type
platform mechanism. There are two arc tracks with positioned pin in the bottom, and the
tilting track is the stripped plane one with drilling hole to facilitate accurate and reliable
positioning of arc track when rolling tilting furnace on plain rail. Synchronously, 4 positioned
pins are welded on the cradle platform to facilitate furnace installation.
The tilting hydraulic cylinder, controlled by proportional valve, consists of two piston
cylinders.
The lower bracket of the tilting hydraulic cylinder is fixed on the cement foundation and its
upper bracket is fixed on the lower part of cradle platform. The max. tilting angle is 20 while
tapping, and the inclined angle is 12 while tapping slag, the tilting speed is 0.8~1/s.
When the inclined angle of furnace body is 20, it is necessary to arrange the inclined angle
interlock protection device, and cut off the oil circuit immediately to avoid accidents resulting
from manual maloperation. The normal tapping inclined angle of eccentric bottom is 18,
and the rated steel molten can be spilled. In order to complete the operation of hot heel and
reserved slag, the special designs are made on the circuit of hydraulic tilting furnace, and thus,
it is possible to switch the operations in case of conventional tilt and quick tilt.
Hydraulic lock is equipped at two lower oil ports of tilting cylinders of furnace body to ensure
that the furnace body keeps motionless when the position of the tilting cylinder loses pressure ,
and thus, the safety of devices and the operators can be guaranteed.
The merits of the mechanism lie in the fact that such two control systems as manual control
handle and electric (switch) handle are arranged in the tapping process, which can improve
the reliability of tapping operation.
-9-
The front bearing mechanism is installed between stripe-shaped horizontal track and the
tilting oil tank to ensure that the arc furnace is in the horizontal state. The action of front
bearing mechanism is completed through driving of hydraulic cylinder. The platform bearing
mechanism on the cement foundation is installed under the tilting cradle platform. The
furnace shell cannot be shifted until the support of arc frame platform is protruded to prevent
the cradle platform from overturning. Smelting can be carried out only when the support of
arc frame platform is at the pin removal position and the horizontal mechanism has not in the
supporting state.
The basic composition of the tilting furnace mechanism is shown in Table 2-8. The main
technical parameter of the tilting furnace mechanism is shown in Table 2-9.

4) Hoisting and rotary mechanism of roof
Hoisting and rotary mechanism of roof is composed of rotary frame, rotary track, rotary
hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder for hoisting of roof, chain pulley, chain, synchronizing
shaft and rotary interlock mechanism as well as column suspension clamp etc.
- 10 -
The rotary frame is welded with steel plate and connected on the tilting cradle platform by
rotating the big revolving plate. The three-phase column hole is drilled on the platform of two
layers. Two hoisting arms of the roof are welded on the upper layer platform of the rotary
frame, the lower part of which shall be cooled by water to avoid high temperature
deformation. The rotation of roof is driven by hydraulic cylinder.
The hydraulic cylinder, chain wheel, chain and synchronizing shaft of the lifting mechanism
are arranged on the hoisting arm separately. The two hoisting mechanism are connected
through synchronizing shaft so that 4 hoisting points of the roof can be hoisted synchronously
and make the roof stay horizontally in the process of hoisting. Lower part of the
synchronizing shaft is the water-cooling platform welded with steel plate, which is arranged
for operator and maintainers and also has the function of heat insulation on synchronizing
shaft. Since the water-cooling platform is connected onto the hoisting arm, and there is
guardrail at the external edge of the platform, the maintenance personnel can operate on the
operating platform across the ladder expediently.
On the Cradle platform, the rotary hydraulic cylinder makes the roof revolve by driving the
rotary frame.
The rotary interlock mechanism is installed on the side of the rotary frame, and the interlock
cylinder and the interlock weld are installed on the rotary frame, and the interlock bore seat is
welded on the cradle platform.
The basic composition of hoisting rotary mechanism for roof is shown in Table 2-10. The

5) Lifting mechanism of electrode
The lifting mechanism of the electrode is composed of lifting hydraulic cylinder of electrode,
lifting column of electrode, column lifting directive wheel devices, conducting cross arm,
electrode clamp, clamping butterfly spring as well as the parts of electrode relax hydraulic
cylinder, electrode sprinkling ring and clamp blowing.
Electrode lifting mechanism is the pipe-type mechanism; 45# steel is applied in the column
guide rail and its surface has better abrasion resistance after treatment of medium frequency
quenching. The upper bracket on the column is made of non-magnetic materials and the
column and cross arm have the better performance of insulation. Plunger piston hydraulic
cylinder is installed in the column; the automatic adjustment of the electrode lifting is realized
by electric hydraulic proportional valve, manual control can also be operated. The directional
wheel device can be adjusted from all directions to ensure the good operation of the electrode
lifting devices. Due to the fact that high power supply is applied, three-phase cross arm is
triangle shaped, and the heating of upper part of intermediate phase column is severe, it is
necessary to cool with water to avoid deformation of intermediate phase column and ensure
the reliable insulation of cross arm and column. The electrode lifting column guide rail adopts
medium carbon steel plate and suitable heat treatment process to enhance the abrasion
resistance and improve its service life.
Conduction cross arm is welded into water-cooling box-type structure by the application of
copper-steel composition plate. In accordance with the requirements of short net system
electric parameters, it is necessary to adopt triangle-shaped arrangement in the three-phase
cross arm and the cross arm should be cooled through water pumping inside. The connection
between the conduction cross arm and column should be pre-tensioning bolt mode, and a set
of special tool should be provided.
The main body of electrode clamping adopts red copper forging fittings and water-cooling
inside. Electrode unclasping brake is welded to be water-cooling mechanism by adopting
non-conducting magnetic austenite conductor stainless steel and the pressed block touched
with graphite electrode is insulated with the unclasping strip, then a layer of insulating
- 12 -
porcelain can be sprayed to ensure the reliable insulation. Electrode clamping relays on the
disc spring with small size and great elasticity and relax electrode is realized through
hydraulic cylinder compacting disc spring. The disc spring device and the relax hydraulic
cylinder are separate mechanisms and three phases can be switched to facilitate the
maintenance of hydraulic cylinder. Additionally, the electrode clamping head has the function
of automatic dust cleaning by compressing air.
The electrode spraying system is composed of stainless steel ring, water knockout drum and
valve as well as dashing system by compressive air.
The basic composition of the three-phase electrode lifting mechanism is shown in Table 2-12.
The main technical parameters of the electrode lifting mechanism are shown in Table 2-13.

control signals, output system state, action orders, control signals, etc.
Electrode control is an important part in the basic automation. Quick and accurate electrode
control is a key of shortening smelting period, saving electric energy, and lowering electrode
consumption.
- 35 -
Constant Impedance Control shall be adopted to reduce the mutual influence of three-phase
electrodes as possible.
Given U indicates arc voltage, and I indicates arc current, control deviation shall be defined
as:
e=KUU-K1I
Among which, Ku is voltage coefficient, decided by voltage grade; Ki is current coefficient,

decided by expected arc current.
Control aims at making control deviation tend to zero, that is e=KuU-KII=0
So:
Constant impedance control strategy can not be removed though it can reduce the mutual
influence of three-phase electrodes. Control structure of feed forward and feedback is utilized
to reduce unnecessary electrode control.
Feedback loop adopts self-adaptive PID control calculation (Here self-adaptation mainly
solves such problems as unknown system parameter, arc amplification parameter
time-variation, and stochastic disturbance).
Feed forward loop is used to calculate the additional compensation signals of this phase
control when two-phase current changes.
Electrode control system shall ensure that the spot welding is smooth and arc short-circuit
one-phase can be removed rapidly but not break the arc. For electric furnace, electrode can lift
automatically if electrode end touches non-conductive charge (mounting pressure sensor is
necessary in hydraulic pipeline).
2) HMI display
On the operation station, human-computer conversation can be conducted, and computer can
show the failure information and running status and give the corresponding operation guide.
Computer can also receive the operation orders from the keyboard and set expected value and
confirmation of empirical value to facilitate operation, optimize the set value, fault shaping.
