いえる。2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a steel slab heating furnace that heats a steel slab as a material to be heated by burning fuel in the furnace, when the steel slab is heated to a predetermined temperature, oxygen in the furnace is heated. As a result, the billet surface is oxidized to form scale. If oxide scale is present, the quality of the product will be impaired in the subsequent process, so it must be removed as an impurity, and yield loss (scale loss)
Becomes In order to minimize this scale loss, it is necessary to keep the oxygen concentration in the furnace atmosphere during heating at a low level. The oxygen concentration in the furnace is determined by the air-fuel ratio of the heating fuel,
It also depends on the amount of outside air entering the furnace. There are two cases of outside air infiltration into the furnace, one is the case where the extraction door is opened and the object enters the furnace through the extraction port when removing the object to be heated from the furnace, and the other is the case where the extraction door is closed Sometimes, it enters through a gap between the door and the furnace body. Therefore, it can be said that the oxygen concentration in the furnace can be controlled by the amount of combustion air of the heating fuel and the amount of invasion outside air.

A method in which the concentration of carbon monoxide and the concentration of oxygen are measured, and the air-fuel ratio control of the heating furnace burner and the furnace pressure are simultaneously controlled based on the measured values (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 55-155184). There is one that adjusts the opening degree of the exhaust gas damper so as to keep the oxygen concentration constant, thereby increasing the furnace pressure and reducing the amount of invading outside air (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-182927).

る。In the above prior arts, both the oxygen concentration and the carbon monoxide concentration are measured to control the opening of the exhaust gas damper or the air-fuel ratio of the heating burner. It is considered sufficiently possible to prevent an increase in the oxygen concentration due to a steady air-fuel ratio turbulence or the like by using these methods. However, when taking out the material to be heated from the furnace, it is not enough to prevent the oxygen concentration in the furnace from rising due to the outside air entering through the open extraction port, and there is a possibility that the surface oxidation of the material to be heated cannot be prevented. Therefore, in order to suppress the fluctuation of oxygen concentration in the furnace due to such outside air intrusion, a flammable gas injection hole is provided near the extraction port separately from the furnace heating burner, and the flammable gas is discharged from there while controlling the flow rate. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 57-149417 discloses a technique in which a combustible gas is burned to consume oxygen in the intruding outside air to make the inside of the furnace a non-oxidizing atmosphere.

応答性等などからみて難しいという問題がある。However, in this case, the concentration of carbon monoxide in the furnace is detected and controlled to a predetermined constant value to control the amount of flammable gas ejected. The rapid prevention of an increase in the oxygen concentration in the furnace due to outside air that suddenly enters due to a slight change in the furnace pressure of 20 to 30 seconds as in the case of time is considered from the viewpoint of the response of the carbon monoxide concentration measurement system and the like. There is a problem that is difficult.

ることは避けられない。That is, the control of the amount of flammable gas to be ejected from the ejection holes is performed through the following procedure. When the extraction door is opened, the pressure in the furnace decreases. Air enters the furnace from the outside as the furnace pressure decreases. The concentration of carbon monoxide in the furnace is reduced by dilution into the intruding air. The decrease in the carbon monoxide concentration is detected by a carbon monoxide concentration detector, and the flow rate of the flammable gas is increased via a control means, thereby keeping the carbon monoxide concentration at a predetermined value. Since such a procedure is performed, it is inevitable that a time delay occurs from when the door is opened to when the decrease in the concentration of carbon monoxide diluted with the intruding air is detected.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a furnace atmosphere control method and apparatus capable of preventing an increase in the oxygen concentration due to invading air and keeping the furnace always at a low oxygen concentration.

3 schematically shows the flow of outside air intrusion from the airbag. Extraction door 6
Is opened, the outside air 16 flows into the furnace from the lower part of the extraction port 5 and flows into the hearth instead of the in-furnace gas 15 flowing out of the furnace from the upper part of the extraction port 5. In synchronization with this, first, the furnace pressure near the extraction port 5 fluctuates. In the actual operation, the indicated value of the furnace pressure detector 12 is constantly monitored. This furnace pressure fluctuation can be detected as soon as possible at the detection end 12a of the furnace pressure detector 12 disposed immediately adjacent to the extraction port 5 on the exit side of the heating furnace. Is transmitted. The control device 11 calculates the inflow amount of the outside air 16 based on this, and immediately calculates the amount of the flammable gas that can completely consume the oxygen contained in the outside air. Control the gas volume. Thus, the combustible gas having a flow rate corresponding to the flow rate of the intruding outside air 16 is ejected from the nozzle 7 in a curtain shape from the lower part of the extraction port 5 toward the upper part, and at the same time, the high temperature of the furnace gas 15 causes Rapidly reacts with the oxygen to burn and form the curtain frame 7a. As described above, when the nozzles 7 are provided so as to form the curtain frame 7a from the lower part to the upper part of the extraction port 5, the combustion efficiency of the combustible gas is improved. Since the oxygen of the subsequent invading outside air 16 is also completely captured and consumed one after another in this manner, the increase in the oxygen concentration in the furnace is suppressed and maintained at a low level.

When the pressure control index is smaller than the set pressure control index, the amount of residual oxygen in the furnace is suppressed by reducing the opening of the damper and increasing the furnace pressure to reduce the amount of intruded air. On the other hand, in the case of the present invention, instead of suppressing the intrusion of air, the amount of flammable gas corresponding to the amount of intruded air is supplied to completely consume oxygen in the intruded air, thereby reducing the oxygen concentration in the furnace. To prevent the rise.

Instead, it is performed based on the furnace pressure fluctuation of the extraction port generated in synchronization with the intrusion of air, so that the oxygen in the outside air that intrudes momentarily can be consumed in real time with almost no time delay.

Similarly, by applying the relationship value of the furnace pressure and the amount of intruding air in the above, the supply of flammable gas is controlled so as to match the amount of intruding air, so that the oxygen in the intruding air is completely consumed and the furnace An increase in oxygen concentration can be prevented.
