The feed port 3 is located on the upper side of the furnace body 1 and is used to feed other components besides the low-boiling-point components into the furnace chamber 2. The feed port 3 is provided with a sealing cover and is in a sealed state when no material is being fed to ensure airtightness. The feeding structure is used to uniformly convey the low-boiling-point component material (i.e., mercury) to the main component material in the furnace chamber 2.

[0029] In this embodiment, the discharging structure comprises a discharge pipeline 11. One end of the discharge pipeline 11 is located at the bottom of the hearth 2 or the side of the hearth 2 and is in communication with the hearth 2. The other end of the discharge pipeline 11 is a discharge port (aluminum discharging port) and is in communication with the outside of the furnace body 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the heating structure 10 is arranged in the hearth 2 and the discharge pipeline 11 of the discharge structure, the heating structure 10 prevents the solidification of the aluminum-mercury alloy in the discharge structure during the reaction in the furnace body 1 and the discharge, and the heating structure 10 of the discharge pipeline 11 is mainly used for intermittent casting, avoiding the movement of the whole furnace body 1 caused by pouring discharge. The heating structure 10 in the hearth 2 can adopt various ways such as silicon-carbon heating rod, quartz heating rod and heating blanket, and the heating structure 10 arranged in the discharge pipeline 11 can adopt various ways such as silicon-carbon heating rod, quartz heating rod, heating blanket or induction heater.

Since the mercury enters the molten aluminum bath in the form of vapor, the whole process is safe and controllable, and the mercury explosion boiling phenomenon does not occur.

When the exhaust hole 4 is connected with the negative pressure structure, the low negative pressure design of the hearth 2 is formed, the recycling and pollution prevention of the low-boiling-point components are ensured, and the design is more environmentally friendly and energy-saving than the traditional positive pressure design.

[0034] Embodiment two

[0035] As Figure 2As shown: This embodiment also provides a preparation apparatus, including an inert gas storage structure 16, a preheater 17, an evaporator 14, a melting furnace 15, and a reaction furnace 100 for preparing alloys containing low-boiling-point components as described in Embodiment 1. The inert gas storage structure 16 is used to store inert gases, the evaporator 14 is used to heat low-boiling-point component materials, and the melting furnace 15 is used to melt main component materials. The inert gas storage structure 16 is connected to the preheater 17 through a first pipeline, the preheater 17 is connected to the evaporator 14 through a first insulation pipeline 18, the evaporator 14 is connected to the feeding structure of the reaction furnace 100 for preparing alloys containing low-boiling-point components through a second insulation pipeline 19, the preheater 17 is connected to the feeding structure of the reaction furnace 100 for preparing alloys containing low-boiling-point components through a third insulation pipeline 20, and the melting furnace 15 is connected to the feed inlet 3 of the reaction furnace 100 for preparing alloys containing low-boiling-point components.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first insulation pipe 18, the second insulation pipe 19, and the third insulation pipe 20 are made of 310S or 316L seamless pipes, and are not limited to the above two materials. The heater used to heat the seamless pipe is a cast copper heating ring or a ceramic heating ring, and is not limited to the above two heating rings. The heater is used to precisely control the temperature above the boiling point of the low boiling point component, but not too high. Gaseous mercury is transported through an inert gas and then through the second insulation pipe 19 and the third insulation pipe 20 to ensure that the mercury will not cause an excessively violent phase change reaction (boiling over) when it comes into contact with molten aluminum and suddenly boils.

[0037] In this embodiment, heaters and valves are provided on the first insulation pipe 18, the second insulation pipe 19, and the third insulation pipe 20.

[0038] In this embodiment, an inert gas is selected as the protective gas. Mercury vapor and the inert gas are introduced into the aluminum molten metal through the feeding structure. The mercury vapor carried is diffused into the aluminum molten metal. While avoiding the risk of explosion, the diffusion of a large number of inert gas bubbles can improve the uniformity of alloy component mixing. In addition, a large number of inert gas bubbles can remove hydrogen, impurities and other harmful components in the alloy.

[0044] Step five, according to the expected time of transferring aluminum and the time required for heating, the preheater 17 and the heater of the third heat preservation pipeline 20 are started, when the third heat preservation pipeline 20 is heated to 400±40℃, the valve of the third heat preservation pipeline 20 through which the inert gas directly enters the reaction furnace 100 for the preparation of the alloy containing low boiling point components is opened, and after the air in the third heat preservation pipeline 20 is blown away, the valve is temporarily closed, and the evaporator 14 is started according to the expected feeding time;

[0045] Step six, after the aluminum is melted, the surface oxidation slag is removed, and the molten aluminum is transferred to the reaction furnace 100 for the preparation of the alloy containing low boiling point components;

[0046] Step seven, the transferred molten aluminum is heat preserved in the reaction furnace 100 for the preparation of the alloy containing low boiling point components, so that the temperature inside the hearth 2 is above 35±15℃ of the melting point of aluminum; the stirrer 9 is started to make the oxidation slag on the bottom float to the surface, and then the surface slagging treatment is carried out, and after the slagging is completed, the feeding port 3 is closed;

[0047] Step eight, the inert gas preheater 17 is started to heat, the heater of the first heat preservation pipeline 18 is started to heat and preserve the first heat preservation pipeline 18, and the evaporator 14 is started to heat the mercury;

[0048] Step nine, after the temperature of the evaporator 14 reaches the rated value, the valve through which the inert gas enters the reaction furnace 100 for the preparation of the alloy containing low boiling point components through the preheater 17, the evaporator 14 and the second heat preservation pipeline 19 is opened, and the mercury is delivered to the reaction furnace 100 for the preparation of the alloy containing low boiling point components;

[0049] Step ten, the time of starting to cast aluminum and the time of heating the heating structure 10 of the material placing structure are predicted, and the material placing structure is heated at a proper time; when the predetermined casting time is reached, a sample of molten aluminum amalgam is taken from the sampling port 5 of the reaction furnace 100 for preparing the alloy containing low boiling point components, and the components are detected, and the sampling is performed at intervals until the mercury content reaches the requirement; if the components reach the requirement, the heating of the evaporator 14 is stopped, and the valve for conveying the inert gas is switched to the third holding pipeline 20 to open, and the conveying of clean and high temperature inert gas is maintained for 3-5 minutes;

[0050] Step eleven, when the temperature of the material placing structure reaches 660 DEG C or above, the prepared aluminum amalgam in the reaction furnace 100 for preparing the alloy containing low boiling point components is emptied and cast into a shape.

[0051] In the embodiment, the mercury raw material is pure mercury or mercury amalgam containing mercury; the inert gas is a gas stable at a temperature below 700 DEG C and not easy to react with aluminum, such as nitrogen, inert gas, etc.; the rated working temperature of the preheater 17, the evaporator 14, the first holding pipeline 18, the second holding pipeline 19 and the third holding pipeline 20 should be set above the boiling point of mercury, so as to ensure that there is sufficient concentration of mercury in the first holding pipeline and the second holding pipeline 19, and avoid the condensation and accumulation of mercury in the pipeline during the conveying process.
