Abstract

Provided is a DC electric furnace using a DC electrode, the DC electric furnace including: a body that has a bottom surface on which a tapping hole is formed and has an inner space to which scraps are charged; a lower electrode that is mounted on the bottom surface of the body; and a bottom-blowing means that is provided on the bottom surface that is not interfered by the lower electrode and blows gas to the inner space of the body.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A DC electric furnace using a DC electrode, the DC electric furnace comprising:
 a body that has a bottom surface on which a tapping hole is formed and has an inner space to which scraps are charged;   a lower electrode that is mounted on the bottom surface of the body; and   a bottom-blowing means that is provided on the bottom surface that is not interfered by the lower electrode and blows gas to the inner space of the body.   
     
     
         2 . The DC electric furnace of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of bottom-blowing means are provided and are arranged at locations that are spaced from a center of the lower electrode by a predetermined distance. 
     
     
         3 . The DC electric furnace of  claim 2 , wherein when R refers to a distance from a center of the lower electrode to an inner wall of the body, which is closest to the center of the lower electrode, the bottom-blowing means are arranged at locations that are spaced apart from the center of the lower electrode by (⅝)*R˜(⅞)*R. 
     
     
         4 . The DC electric furnace of  claim 2 , wherein the bottom surface is divided into a tapping area in which the tapping hole is formed and a coke side area that is opposite to the tapping area with respect to the center of the lower electrode, and
 wherein at least one or more bottom-blowing means are arranged at locations where a first virtual line that serves as a reference of the tapping area and the coke side area is placed.   
     
     
         5 . The DC electric furnace of  claim 2 , wherein at least one or more bottom-blowing means are arranged at locations that are spaced apart from a second virtual line that passes through the center of the lower electrode and the tapping hole by the same distance, on opposite sides of the second virtual line. 
     
     
         6 . The DC electric furnace of  claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the body is inclined to become deeper as it goes from the inner wall to the lower electrode at a center of the bottom surface, and
 wherein a gas blowing direction of the bottom-blowing means is perpendicular to the inclined portion.   
     
     
         7 . The DC electric furnace of  claim 1 , wherein a flow rate of gas that is supplied by the bottom-blowing means is changed according to operating times.
