Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention belongs to the field of molten steel external refining, specifically it relates to a vacuum refining device concurrently producing an ultra-low carbon, ultra-low sulfur steel. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Current external refining methods for industrial scale production of ultra-low carbon, ultra-low sulfur steel mainly adopt a RH vacuum refining. The main problems of the process for producing the ultra-low carbon, ultra-low sulfur steel by using the RH vacuum refining are following: 
     First, a decarburization velocity of the RH vacuum refining is low, because in case of the same molten steel active oxygen, carbon content and vacuum degree, the reaction velocity of the vacuum decarburization mainly depends on a circulating flow rate of a molten steel, and there is a 1.5 order relationship between the molten steel circulating flow rate and a inner diameter of a snorkel. Because a RH furnace consists of two upward and downward snorkels, the inner diameter of the snorkel is smaller, the decarburization velocity is restricted by an inner diameter of the snorkel and it is difficult to be improved by a process optimization. 
     Second, a desulfurization rate of the RH furnace vacuum refining process is low and unstable, and a desulfurizer severely corrodes the snorkel and a refractory material of a lower part slot in a vacuum chamber. The reason is the desulfurization in the RH furnace vacuum process is primarily to disperse the desulfurizer within the molten steel by using a circulating motion of the added desulfurizer with the molten steel, forming a reaction interface to achieve the purpose of the desulfurization. This requires that 1) the addition of the desulfurizer is primarily by mixing and injecting a gas and powder two-phase steam into a molten pool of the vacuum chamber, to facilitate dispersion of the desulfurizer within the molten steel; 2) the desulfurizer must be a mixture with high sulfur melting quantity and low melting point (it is the commonly used mixture containing 30% CaF 2  and 70% CaO); 3) a circulating flow rate of the molten steel is sufficiently high, to ensure more molten steel entering into the vacuum chamber and contacting with the desulfurizer particles over the same powder injection time, improving the desulfurization efficiency. In view of this, the desulfurization in the RH vacuum process has the following inherent defects: 1) because a desulfurization rate depends on a dispersion degree of the desulfurizer within the molten steel, the desulfurization rate is unstable; 2) the desulfurization rate is highly effected by the circulating flow rate of the molten steel, the circulating flow rate of the molten steel under the two snorkel conditions of RH is small, thus the desulfurization rate is not high; 3) because the desulfurizer contains up to 30% of CaF 2 , it severely corrodes the vacuum chamber and the refractory material of the snorkel, shortening its service life. 
     To date what have been disclosed in China are Chinese Patent Number ZL00235854.9 “Multi-function combined blown single nozzle refining furnace”, Chinese Patent CN101701279B “A method for smelting low-sulfur steel by a single nozzle refining furnace” and Chinese Patent CN101792845B “A method for smelting ultra-low carbon steel by a single nozzle refining furnace”, these patents improve the circulating flow rate of the molten steel in the vacuum refining process by increasing a cross-sectional area of the snorkel, so as to improve a decarburization efficiency. However, in order to ensure that an exposed face of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber being sufficiently large to improve a decarburization reaction velocity, these patents all require discharging a steel ladle slag from the snorkel before the snorkel is inserted into the molten steel, increasing the exposed face of the molten steel, and improving the reaction velocity of the decarburization. Meanwhile, the desulfurizer injected during the desulfurization can effectively disperse within the molten steel, thereby increasing the reaction interface and improving the desulfurization efficiency. Accordingly, these patents have strict requirement on a tapping slag quantity in a converter (or electric furnace) tapping process. If a surface slag layer of the molten steel is thick, then a slag discharge operation before insertion of the snorkel into the molten steel is difficult to conduct. These patents are same as the RH vacuum refining in terms of desulfurization principle of the vacuum process, thus it is necessary to select a desulfurizer with high CaF 2  content (generally 30%) which is same as the sulfurization in the RH vacuum refining process, the desulfurizer severely corrodes the snorkel and the refractory material of the lower part slot in the vacuum chamber, decreasing the service life of the snorkel and the lower part slot in the vacuum chamber. The single nozzle refining furnaces which have been disclosed to date all use steel ladle bottom blowing as a driving force for a circulating flow of the molten steel in the vacuum process, and when a clogging occurs in the gas permeable brick at the bottom of the steel ladle, the vacuum refining will be unable to conduct, resulting in production interruption. 
     Chinese Patent CN101302571A discloses a single nozzle refining furnace, at least of a set of traveling magnetic field generators disposed on a periphery of its suction nozzle is merely used for increase the flow velocity of the molten steel, improving the circulating flow rate of the molten steel. It is unable to resolve the problem of steel ladle top slag layer covering the molten steel face and resulting in decreased expose face of the molten steel, and decreasing the decarburization and desulfurization efficiency. Also, in Chinese Patent CN101302571A, the traveling magnetic field generators on the snorkel can accelerate the flow velocity of the molten steel only at the time of circulating flow, once the steel ladle bottom blowing is clogged and the molten steel is in motionless state, the traveling magnetic field generators will be out of action, and the vacuum refining is unable to be conducted, resulting in production interruption. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In order to resolve the problems existing in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a straight barrel type vacuum refining device. The first object is to resolve the problem of the single nozzle refining furnace of prior art such as: in order to ensure the decarburization and desulfurization effect, it is required to conduct the slag discharge before the snorkel is inserted into the molten steel to avoid the steel ladle top slag entering into the vacuum chamber as far as possible, therefore it is required that the steel ladle molten steel surface slag layer should be thin as far as possible, that is, it is required that the quantity of slag in tapping process is small as far as possible or even no slag. The second object is to resolve the problem such as the single nozzle refining furnace and RH of prior art can only select a desulfurizer of high fluorine content (30% CaF 2 ), resulting in severe corrosion of the snorkel and the refractory material of the lower part slot in the vacuum chamber by the desulfurizer, greatly shortening its service life. The third object is to resolve the problem of the single nozzle refining furnace of the prior art such as: when the steel ladle bottom blowing element is clogged, the whole vacuum refining process is unable to be conducted, resulting in production interruption. 
     To resolve the above-described technical problems, the present invention provides a straight barrel type vacuum refining device comprising a vacuum chamber and a snorkel; during the vacuum refining the snorkel is inserted into a molten steel of the steel ladle. It is characterized in that, disposed a circulating tube at a circumference of said snorkel, and blowing argon gas into the snorkel through nozzles on the inner wall of the circulating tube; said circulating tube are disposed in layers, the circulating tube in the same layer are controlled individually; disposing an eccentric gas permeable brick at the bottom of said steel ladle, and blowing argon gas into the steel ladle through the eccentric gas permeable brick, and driving a circulating flow of the molten steel between the steel ladle and the vacuum chamber by using different combinations of the blowing flow rate of each individual control units of the steel ladle bottom blowing and a circulating tube blowing system. 
     A further improvement of the present invention is: said circulating tube are disposed in one layer, the nozzles on the circulating tube are distributed at equal central angle, and the central angle between the nozzles is 10°-30°; or, the nozzles on the circulating tube are distributed at equal distance, and the number of the nozzles is 8-30. 
     A further improvement of the present invention is: said circulating tube are disposed in two layers, the nozzles on each of the circulating tube are distributed at equal distance, and the number of the nozzles in each layer is 6-15, and the nozzles in upper and lower layers are cross arranged. 
     A further improvement of the present invention is: said circulating tube are disposed in three layers, the nozzles on each of the circulating tube are distributed at equal distance, the number of the nozzles in each layer is 6-12, the nozzles in adjacent layers are cross arranged; the nozzles in the same layer are controlled individually in a group of 2-6; each layer is distributed at equal distance, and the distance is 150 mm-400 mm. 
     A further improvement of the present invention is: the cross-sectional shape of said snorkel is roughly circular, and it consists of two pars of a large circular arc face and a small circular arc face, the radius of curvature of the large circular arc face is same as the vacuum chamber, and the radius of curvature of the small circular arc face is greater than the vacuum chamber, and the ratio of the radius of curvature of the large circular arc face and the small circular arc face is 1:1-∞. 
     The present invention also provides a refining method of said straight barrel type vacuum refining device, wherein the vacuum refining process uses the steel ladle bottom eccentric gas permeable brick and a snorkel circulating tube combined blown mode; during decarburization, the bottom blowing and the circulating tube at the same side of the bottom blowing are strong blowing, and the circulating tube on the other side is weak blowing; during desulfurization, the bottom blowing is strong blowing, the circulating tubes around the snorkel are all weak blowing; in later period of the refining, the circulating tube gas quantity and bottom blowing quantity are adjusted to small; and a molten steel clean circulation is controlled and the vacuum chamber surface slag is not involved, and the inclusions in the steel is promoted to collide and float and absorbed by the surface slag. 
     The present invention also provides a refining method of said straight barrel type vacuum refining device when the steel ladle bottom blowing is clogged or the steel ladle bottom blowing is closed as the smelting requirement: 
     (1) during decarburization, one side of the circulating tube uses large quantity blowing, the corresponding other side uses small quantity blowing, these two semi-circumference regions form an ascending pipe and a descending pipe similar to RH, achieving the molten steel rising on the side of the strong blowing, and declining on the side of the weak blowing, driving the circulating flow the molten steel in the vacuum chamber and the steel ladle, and because one side is strong blowing and the other side is weak blowing, the steel ladle slag on the vacuum chamber molten steel face may be compressed to the region of the weak blowing, ensuring the exposed face of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber is sufficiently large to achieve the purpose of rapid deep decarburization; 
     (2) During desulfurization, the nozzles are all strong blowing, driving the molten steel rising around the snorkel, and declining from a central region, and achieve deep desulfurization of the molten steel by complete mixing of the steel ladle residue and the molten steel under the vacuum condition; 
     (3) in later period of the refining, altering the circulating tube blowing quantity to slightly greater at one side and very small at the other side, controlling the molten steel circulation not to be involved in the vacuum chamber surface slag, and promoting the inclusions in the steel to collide and float and absorbed by the surface slag. 
     The design idea of the present invention is: 
     According to the present invention, a single straight barrel type snorkel is coupled to the lower part of the vacuum chamber, the inner diameter of the snorkel is same as the inner diameter of the vacuum chamber, and single layer or multi-layer of circulating tubes are cross arranged in the circumference of the inner wall of the circulating tube, and the gas permeable brick are arranged at an eccentric position at the bottom of the steel ladle. The nozzles as 2-6 in a group are disposed on the circulating tube, i the injection flow rate are individually controlled. In the vacuum refining process, driving the circulating flow of the molten steel between the steel ladle and the vacuum chamber by using the steel ladle bottom blowing and circulating tube top blowing, and controlling the vacuum chamber molten steel face top slag state according to the main tasks of different stages of the vacuum refining process (decarburization, desulfurization etc.) by the steel ladle bottom blowing and different blowing combination controlled by each individual control unit on the circulating tube. 
     Using the straight barrel type vacuum refining device according to the present invention, it is unnecessary to discharge the molten steel surface slag from the snorkel, on the contrary the decarburization, desulfurization and inclusion removal may be conducted by fully using the molten steel surface slag entering into the vacuum chamber. Its refining method is: (1) increasing the exposed area of the vacuum chamber molten steel to achieve rapid deep decarburization by different combinations of the individually controlled blowing system on the circulating tube and the bottom blowing, and further conducting the deep decarburization by using the oxygen in the high oxidative slag on the molten steel face; (2) during desulfurization, the bottom blowing is strong blowing, the circulating tubes around the snorkel are all weak blowing, this can effectively increase slag-metal reaction area and improve the desulfurization effect, and the circulating tube weak blowing gas around the snorkel can form a gas isolation area between the steel slag in the vacuum chamber and the inner wall of the vacuum chamber, decreasing the corrosion of steel slag to the refractory material, and increasing the service time of the refractory material; (3) at later period of the refining, adjusting the circulating tube gas quantity and bottom blowing quantity to small, and controlling the molten steel clean circulation not to be involved in the vacuum chamber surface slag, and promoting the inclusions in the steel to collide and float and to be absorbed by the surface slag. 
     By using the straight barrel type vacuum refining device according to the present invention, when a clogging occurs in the steel ladle bottom blowing or the steel ladle bottom blowing is closed according to the smelting requirement, the vacuum decarburization and desulfurization can still be normally conducted, not resulting in production interruption. Its principle is that, in the present invention, the nozzles arranged on the circulating tube use a manner of individually controlling flow rate in different regions. Its refining method is: (1) during decarburization, at one side of the circulating tube a large quantity lowing is adopted, at the corresponding the other side a small quantity blowing is adopted, these two semi-circumference regions form the ascending pipe and the descending pipe similar to RH, achieving the molten steel rising at the side of the strong blowing, and declining at the side of the weak blowing, driving the circulating flow of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber and the steel ladle, and because one side is strong blowing and the other side is weak blowing, the steel ladle slag on the vacuum chamber molten steel surface may be compressed to the region on the weak blowing side, ensuring the exposed face of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber being sufficiently large to achieve the purpose of rapid deep decarburization; (2) during desulfurization, the nozzles are all strong blowing, driving the molten steel rising around the snorkel, and declining from the central region, and achieving the molten steel deep desulfurization by complete mixing of the steel ladle slag and the molten steel under the vacuum condition; (3) at later period of the refining, the circulating tube blowing quantity is altered to slightly larger on one side and the other side is very small, controlling the vacuum chamber surface slag not to be involved in the molten steel circulation, and promoting the inclusions in the steel to collide and float and to be absorbed by the surface slag. 
     Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a straight barrel type vacuum refining device. Its first object is to resolve the problem such as: in the single nozzle refining furnace disclosed in the existing patents, in order to ensure the decarburization and desulfurization effect, it is required to conduct the slag discharge before the snorkel is inserted into the molten steel to avoid the entry of the steel ladle top slag into the vacuum chamber as far as possible, thus it is required the steel ladle molten steel surface slag layer is thin as far as possible, that is it is required the quantity of slag in the tapping process is small as far as possible. The present invention controls the slag state on the vacuum chamber molten steel face by the individually controlled nozzles of the circulating tube disposed at the circumference of the snorkel, by different blowing combination according to different stages in the vacuum refining process, that is, by adjusting the blowing flow rate of the controlled nozzles on the circulating tube, during decarburization blowing the steel ladle slag toward one side or toward the center, sufficiently exposing the molten steel face, and fully using the oxygen in the high oxidative slag on the molten steel surface for further deep decarburization, during desulfurization by adding a certain quantity of lime and aluminum particle (or premelted refining slag) and reacting with the top slag on the vacuum chamber molten steel face to form a calcium aluminum type desulfurization slag, allowing the molten steel in the vacuum chamber to contact and react with the top slag, to carry out the deep desulfurization under vacuum. Accordingly, the present invention has no requirement on the thickness of the steel ladle top slag, and also covering the molten steel surface slag into the snorkel before the snorkel is inserted into the molten steel, fully using the top slag for the deep decarburization and deep desulfurization. The second object is to resolve the problem such as the single nozzle refining furnace and RH disclosed in the existing patens can only select a desulfurizer of high fluorine content (30% CaF 2 ), resulting in the desulfurizer severely corroding the snorkel and the refractory material in the vacuum chamber lower part slot, and greatly shortening its service life. The third object is to resolve the problem such as, in the single nozzle refining furnace disclosed in the existing patents, when the steel ladle bottom blowing elements is clogged, the entire vacuum refining process cannot be conducted, resulting production interruption.
