Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of casting and smelting furnace drilling and direct pouring production, and more particularly to a device for purifying molten aluminum in a smelting furnace. BACKGROUND

[0002] When molten aluminum is processed, it is generally smelted in a smelting furnace. After the processing of the molten aluminum in the smelting furnace is completed, the molten aluminum in the smelting furnace needs to be discharged into a subsequent processing container. For example, the molten aluminum in the smelting furnace is discharged through the bottom furnace eye of the furnace group into an aluminum liquid flow channel, the molten aluminum flows directly into a filter box through the flow channel for filtration, and the aluminum water is filtered and then cast. However, there are still the following defects:

[0003] 1. The molten aluminum in the smelting furnace is discharged from the bottom furnace eye of the furnace group, and the impurities deposited at the bottom of the furnace are brought out together with the molten aluminum flowing process. The molten aluminum flows directly into the filter box through the flow channel for filtration, resulting in the presence of 50mm dross above the ceramic filter plate in the filter box. The dross covers the top of the filter plate and blocks the filter holes of the filter plate. The flow rate of the molten aluminum after filtration is insufficient, which affects the production of the cast bar.

[0004] 2. When the molten aluminum flows from the furnace eye of the smelting furnace to the filter box, there is a problem of turbulence in the flowing process, the surface dross of the aluminum water increases, and the product appears to have slag inclusion and aluminum dragging during the extrusion process of the cast bar. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to solve the technical problems of dross blocking the filter plate and the product appearing to have slag inclusion and aluminum dragging during the extrusion process of the cast bar. The present application provides a device for purifying molten aluminum in a smelting furnace, which has better purification effect on the molten aluminum and improves the quality of the product.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present application is as follows: a device for purifying molten aluminum in a smelting furnace, comprising a smelting furnace and a filter box connected through an aluminum flow channel, an aluminum liquid sedimentation tank is arranged on one side of the aluminum flow channel between the smelting furnace and the filter box. The end of the aluminum flow channel close to the smelting furnace is connected with the inlet of the aluminum liquid sedimentation tank, the end of the aluminum flow channel close to the filter box is connected with the outlet, and the aluminum flow channel between the inlet and the outlet is provided with a partition block for blocking the direct flow of the aluminum liquid.

[0007] Specifically, a bypass interface of the molten aluminum inlet and outlet is arranged at the middle position of the aluminum flow channel between the smelting furnace and the filter box; an aluminum liquid sedimentation tank is arranged at the bypass interface position of the flow channel; the middle part of the inlet and outlet flow channel is blocked by a partition block; the sedimentation tank is divided into two inner cavities, i.e., a sedimentation A cavity and a sedimentation B cavity; the internal height of the sedimentation A cavity is about 50 mm lower than that of the sedimentation B cavity (in a stepped form). The molten aluminum in the aluminum flow channel flows into the sedimentation A cavity of the aluminum liquid sedimentation tank from the bypass inlet of the flow channel; the stepped structure of the internal part of the sedimentation A cavity blocks the flow of heavy inclusions in the molten aluminum, and the inclusions are deposited at the bottom of the sedimentation A cavity. When the molten aluminum in the sedimentation A cavity continuously rises and is leveled with the molten aluminum in the inlet flow channel, the molten aluminum in the sedimentation A cavity flows out from the middle hidden flow channel of the aluminum liquid sedimentation tank to the sedimentation B cavity, and the surface floating dross of the molten aluminum in the sedimentation A cavity stays on the surface of the molten aluminum in the sedimentation A cavity. The molten aluminum in the sedimentation A cavity is deposited again in the sedimentation B cavity and then flows out from the bypass outlet of the aluminum flow channel to the filter box for filtration.

[0008] The aluminum liquid sedimentation tank comprises an inlet, an outlet, a sedimentation B cavity, a dry port, a sedimentation A cavity and a hidden flow channel; the internal height of the sedimentation A cavity is 50-80 mm lower than that of the sedimentation B cavity; one side of the bottom of the sedimentation B cavity is connected with the sedimentation A cavity through the hidden flow channel; one side of the upper part of the sedimentation A cavity is communicated with the aluminum flow channel through the inlet; one side of the upper part of the sedimentation B cavity is communicated with the aluminum flow channel through the outlet; and one side of the bottom of the sedimentation A cavity is provided with the dry port.

[0011] The dross removing assembly comprises a T-shaped base, a four-bar linkage wind brace hinge and a mesh belt conveyor; the mesh belt conveyor is connected with the T-shaped base through the four-bar linkage wind brace hinge on both sides; and the T-shaped base is connected with the sedimentation A cavity; the four-bar linkage wind brace hinge can adjust the inclination angle of the mesh belt conveyor, so that the mesh belt conveyor can be freely extended and retracted.

[0012] The bottom of the sedimentation A cavity is provided with a sediment removing assembly corresponding to the dry port; when the amount of the sediment reaches a certain amount, the sediment can be cleaned out.

[0013] The deslagging assembly comprises a telescopic air cylinder, a sliding block, a blocking plate and a scraper, the telescopic rod of the telescopic air cylinder is connected with the scraper through the sedimentation cavity A, the upper part of the scraper is connected with one end of the blocking plate, the other end of the blocking plate is connected with the sliding block through the sedimentation cavity A, and the sliding block is slidingly connected with the telescopic air cylinder; the sediment above the scraper is supported by the blocking plate, so that the upper layer will not be greatly fluctuated even during cleaning.

[0014] The shape of the scraper corresponds to the section of the lower horizontal line of the sedimentation cavity A, so that the sediment can be completely pushed to the dry port.

[0018] 1. The sedimentation tank is provided with two cavities, the floating dregs and the sediment in the aluminum liquid are retained in the sedimentation cavity A by the middle dark flow channel, the aluminum liquid from which the floating dregs and the sediment are removed is sent to the sedimentation cavity B, and then is sent to the original path to pass through the filter box. Since the floating dregs and the sediment are removed before entering the filter box, the problem that the floating dregs cover the filter plate and block the filter holes of the filter plate is solved, the problem that the flow rate of the aluminum liquid after filtration is insufficient and the production of the casting rod is affected is solved, and the problems that the product is clamped with dregs and aluminum is dragged during the extrusion process of the casting rod are solved.

[0019] 2.

The end of the aluminum flow channel 2 near the smelting furnace 1 is connected to the inlet 41 of the aluminum molten sedimentation tank 4, and the end of the aluminum flow channel 2 near the filter box 3 is connected to the outlet 42. A baffle block 5 is provided in the section of the aluminum flow channel 2 between the inlet 41 and the outlet 42 to block the direct flow of molten aluminum.

[0036] Specifically, an aluminum molten metal inlet / outlet bypass interface is designed in the middle of the aluminum flow channel 2 between the smelting furnace 1 and the filter box 3.

Embodiment 6

[0041] On the basis of embodiment 2, as shown in Figures 8-10 the bottom of the sedimentation chamber A 45 is provided with a sediment-removing assembly 6 corresponding to the draining port 44, when the amount of the sediment reaches a certain amount, the sediment can be cleaned out. Embodiment 7

[0042] On the basis of embodiment 6, the sediment-removing assembly 6 comprises a telescopic cylinder 61, a sliding block 62, a blocking plate 63, and a scraper 64, the telescopic rod of the telescopic cylinder 61 is connected with the scraper 64 through the sedimentation chamber A 45, the upper part of the scraper 64 is connected with one end of the blocking plate 63, the other end of the blocking plate 63 is connected with the sliding block 62 through the sedimentation chamber A 45, and the sliding block 62 is slidingly connected with the telescopic cylinder 61; the sediment above the scraper 64 is supported by the blocking plate 63, so that the upper layer does not fluctuate too much even when it is cleaned.

[0046] The working principle of the application is that the molten aluminum in the smelting furnace 1 is discharged through the aluminum flow channel 2, and due to the blocking of the partition block 5, the molten aluminum enters the sedimentation cavity A 45. Due to the blocking of the grid plate 47, under the impact of the inlet 41, the dross is concentrated in a corner. When a certain thickness is reached, the dross assembly 48 is lowered to transfer the dross to the dross bucket 49. The inside of the sedimentation cavity A 45 is in a stepped structure to block the flow of heavy inclusions in the molten aluminum.

The molten aluminum enters the sedimentation cavity B 43 and is precipitated again. Then it is discharged from the bypass outlet 42 of the aluminum flow channel 2 to the filter box 3 for filtration. After filtration, it flows to the crystallizer.
