Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal processing, and in particular to a chute used for metal smelting. Background Art
[0002] In the non-ferrous metallurgy or non-ferrous metal reprocessing industry, in order to keep the liquid metal flowing normally in the chute, heating is used above the chute. Considering the cost and heat energy factors, open flame heating is usually used to ensure this. Liquid metal is prone to oxidation, and it is more likely to oxidize when in contact with open flames.
[0003] If the liquid metal oxidizes during the process, the quality of the product will be reduced. In order to ensure the quality of the product, a process of removing the oxide must be added. In the process of removing the oxide, part of the liquid metal will be removed at the same time, thereby reducing the metal recovery rate.
[0004] It can be seen that the technical problems existing in the prior art need to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a chute for metal smelting, including a chute body, the chute body is provided with a through groove for liquid metal to flow, a protective cover for isolating open flames is provided above the chute body, and a burner is provided above the protective cover. In actual use, the present invention can be used in non-ferrous metallurgical processes and non-ferrous metal reprocessing industries, the protective cover is located above the liquid metal chute, the protective cover isolates the open flames and heats the liquid metal in the chute at the same time. Thereby playing a role of fire resistance and anti-oxidation, improving product quality, and at the same time improving metal recovery rate.
[0006] Furthermore, the protective cover is detachably arranged above the chute body. In actual use, after the metal smelting is finished, the protective cover can be removed from the chute body to clean the metal slag inside the chute.
[0007] Furthermore, the protective cover is made of heat-conducting material. In actual use, the protective cover made of heat-conducting material is conducive to absorbing and transferring the heat produced by the burner, so that the metal inside the through groove remains liquid, thereby ensuring the fluidity of the liquid metal and improving the smelting efficiency.
[0008] Furthermore, the protective cover is made of silicate material. In actual use, the protective cover made of silicate material can not only fully absorb and transfer the heat produced by the burner, but also prevent liquid metal from wetting on the protective cover, thereby improving the metal recovery rate and ensuring the permeability of the heat inside the protective cover, which is conducive to the smooth transfer of heat.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective sleeve is an arc-shaped structure, the concave side of the protective sleeve faces the through slot, and the convex side of the protective sleeve faces the nozzle end of the burner. In actual use, according to the size of the cross-section of the chute, the fire-resistant and anti-oxidation material (such as silicate material) adopts an arc design to ensure its strength requirements while avoiding collapse and damage due to self-weight, thermal stress and flame spraying in high temperature for a long time.
[0010] Furthermore, an insulation sleeve is provided above the chute body, the insulation sleeve is located on the outer layer of the protective sleeve, a gap is provided between the insulation sleeve and the protective sleeve, a through hole is provided on the top of the insulation sleeve for inserting the burner nozzle, and the insulation sleeve is filled with insulation material. In actual use, the flame ejected from the burner nozzle can diffuse along the outer wall of the protective sleeve in the gap, thereby fully heating the arc-shaped protective sleeve and making full use of the heat energy.
[0011] Furthermore, a pressure balance port is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the heat preservation sleeve. In actual use, air can enter the pressure balance port, and part of the redundant heat can also flow out from the pressure balance port for other uses.
[0012] Furthermore, the insulation cover comprises a left insulation shell and a right insulation shell arranged opposite to each other, the bottoms of the left insulation shell and the right insulation shell are respectively hinged on both sides of the chute body, and the closed position between the left insulation shell and the right insulation shell is fixed by a fixing device. After use, the fixing device is opened, and the left insulation shell and the right insulation shell are turned outward to open, and then the protective cover can be removed to clean the chute body.
[0013] Furthermore, the fixing device includes a clamping platform and a clamping ring that are engaged with each other, and the clamping platform and the clamping ring are respectively arranged on the left insulation shell and the right insulation shell.
[0014] Beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0015] An embodiment of the present invention provides a chute for metal smelting, including a chute body, wherein the chute body is provided with a through groove for liquid metal to flow, a protective cover for isolating open flames is provided above the chute body, and a burner is provided above the protective cover. In actual use, the present invention can be used in non-ferrous metallurgical processes and in the non-ferrous metal reprocessing industry. The protective cover is located above the liquid metal chute, and the protective cover isolates the open flames and heats the liquid metal in the chute at the same time, thereby playing a role of fire resistance and anti-oxidation, while improving product quality and metal recovery rate.
