Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to a transition flow channel device and a control method thereof, and in particular to a transition flow channel device of a vacuum induction furnace and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology in my country, many industries such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, petrochemical, power station construction, nuclear facilities, machinery manufacturing, as well as the development of military industry, product upgrading, train speed-up and many other links have put forward higher and higher requirements on the quality of steel. The vacuum induction melting furnace has many advantages such as low gas content, better uniform composition, less metal impurities, fine metal structure and high purity, which are replacing the existing medium frequency furnace in large quantities. With the large-scale and high-end equipment, the scale of vacuum induction furnace has increased from the early kilogram level to several tons and tens of tons. The vacuum induction melting furnace uses electromagnetic induction to generate eddy currents in the metal conductor to heat the charge for melting under vacuum conditions, making the metal melted vacuum smelting equipment. Specifically, through a certain frequency of AC power supply, usually divided into medium frequency and industrial frequency, an alternating magnetic field is generated when the alternating current passes through the coil on the crucible. According to the Ferrari electromagnetic induction principle, this magnetic field will generate eddy currents with a certain depth on the surface of the material to be melted, and then melt the metal material in the crucible through the heating of this eddy current. When the smelting material is steel or metal, the molten steel in the alternating magnetic field will be affected by the electromagnetic force and produce relative movement, and then produce a stirring effect according to the distribution of the magnetic field, so that the molten steel can be fully smelted, and the smelted material can be more uniform and high-quality.

[0003] In the smelting process of large-tonnage vacuum induction furnace, large induction furnaces usually adopt a multi-chamber structure, including a melting chamber, a launder chamber, an ingot casting chamber, etc., in which different molds are placed in the ingot casting chamber to solidify the metal liquid according to the different melting requirements. The specific process is to wait for the material in the melting chamber to be fully melted to form a uniform molten metal, and then connect the melting chamber, launder chamber, and ingot casting chamber. After the vacuum is balanced, the crucible in the melting chamber is tilted to allow the molten metal to flow through the casting port into the launder along the mold in the ingot casting chamber.

The transition chute device of the vacuum induction furnace according to claim 1, characterized in that: The flow channel driving mechanism is arranged on one side of the flow channel chamber, and the flow channel driving mechanism further comprises: A pushing hydraulic cylinder, wherein the cylinder body of the pushing hydraulic cylinder is fixed to one side of the flow channel chamber through a sealing flange seat, and the cylinder body of the pushing hydraulic cylinder and the sealing flange seat are fixed to the frame of the flow channel chamber; a piston push rod is arranged inside the pushing hydraulic cylinder, and the piston push rod passes through the sealing flange seat and is movably connected to the flow channel; a fixing rod is arranged inside the piston push rod, and one end of the fixing rod is fixed to the inner side of one end of the cylinder body of the pushing hydraulic cylinder; A lifting hydraulic cylinder, one end of which is fixed on the bracket, and the other end is connected to the pushing hydraulic cylinder through a lifting pin shaft.

5. The transition chute device of the vacuum induction furnace according to claim 4, characterized in that: On one side of the flow groove, a recessed buckle is fixed on the side wall of the flow groove on one side of the pushing hydraulic cylinder, and a detachable buckle is fixed on the piston push rod close to the flow groove. During the upward movement of the lifting hydraulic cylinder or the downward movement of the lifting hydraulic cylinder, the detachable buckle and the recessed buckle are connected or separated.

6. The transition flow channel device of the vacuum induction furnace according to claim 3, characterized in that: The number of the valve plate clamping devices is 4 sets, which are arranged on both sides of the isolation valve plate. After the isolation valve plate is closed, the valve plate clamping devices drive to clamp the isolation valve plate and the sealing ring.

7. The transition flow channel device of the vacuum induction furnace according to claim 6, characterized in that: The pouring port is directly opposite to the smelting crucible during the descending process of the launder.

8. The control method of the transition flow channel device of the vacuum induction furnace according to any one of claims 1 to 7, characterized in that: Also includes: During the casting preparation of the vacuum induction furnace, the hydraulic cover plate mechanism automatically opens the launder chamber cover plate, places the launder on the tank car track, and the concave buckle on the right side of the launder is snapped into the detachable buckle, automatically closing the launder chamber cover plate, that is, entering the state of the isolation valve plate being closed. Then, when the launder chamber is evacuated to the same vacuum degree as the smelting chamber, the valve plate clamping device is released, the isolation valve plate is movably connected to the isolation valve cylinder, the sealing ring on the isolation valve plate leaves the isolation valve plate, and the isolation valve cylinder is driven to drive the isolation valve plate to move and open the door plate, and the launder is driven out. The driving mechanism drives the piston push rod to drive the flow channel to move on the tank car track to the flow channel support frame. After the lifting hydraulic cylinder pushes the flow channel driving mechanism to lift up a certain angle, the detachable buckle moves downward and disengages from the concave buckle, and the piston push rod is recovered into the flow channel chamber, the isolation valve plate is closed, and the valve plate clamping device is driven to ensure the sealing of the melting chamber. Wait until the temperature of the melting crucible and the composition of the molten steel meet the technical requirements, tilt the melting crucible, and the molten steel flows to the flow channel. The casting is completed through the casting port of the flow channel. After the casting is completed, repeat the next flow channel replacement operation.

9. The control method of the transition flow channel device of the vacuum induction furnace according to claim 8, characterized in that: The vacuum degree of the launder chamber during the transition process is the same as the vacuum degree of the smelting chamber.
