Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material refining equipment, and in particular to an industrial silicon smelting auxiliary device. Background Art

[0002] Industrial silicon is also known as semi-metallic silicon. Metallic silicon is a product smelted from silica and carbonaceous reducing agents in a submerged arc furnace.

[0003] The main raw materials for smelting industrial silicon are silica and carbonaceous reducing agents. Low-ash petroleum coke or pitch coke are typically used as the reducing agent. However, due to the low resistivity and poor reactivity of these cokes, charcoal, with its low ash content, high resistivity, and high reactivity, must be used to partially replace the petroleum coke. Furthermore, the use of charcoal can easily lead to ignition and collapse due to poor surface sintering, making it difficult to form a high-temperature reaction zone. This can lead to the formation of a SiC layer at the furnace bottom, which pushes the electrodes upward, reducing the heating area, resulting in shorter smoldering times, and higher specific energy consumption. If effective measures are not taken promptly, economic losses can result from furnace shutdowns, digging, rebuilding, and new furnaces. Summary of the Invention

[0019] In one embodiment, the material diverting plate has a trapezoidal structure, and the length of one side of the material diverting plate close to the center of the material diverting support plate is smaller than the other side.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention is an auxiliary device for industrial silicon smelting that assists in crushing the hard product layer, and the auxiliary electrode descends to move the edge of the refined material to the high-temperature area. The operator mixes the silicon material with a reducing agent and puts the mixture into a receiving bowl. After completion, the heating electrode is started to descend to contact the mixture and then heat it for refining. Since the carbon mixture used as a reducing agent will produce hard SiC during the refining process, SiC will lift the heating electrode to reduce the contact area, increase the heating power consumption and the probability of damage to the equipment, and therefore start the auger rotation motor. The auger's self-rotating motor drives the transmission chain to rotate, and at the same time rotates the first bevel gear that meshes with the second bevel gear. The first bevel gear then fixes the rotating stirring auger. Due to the characteristics of the auger, the change in the rotation direction driven by the auger's self-rotating motor will change the function of crushing and lifting and transporting. If the hard and bottom-sinking SiC is crushed, the rotation direction is changed and lifted to the middle, accelerating the reaction rate of SiO2+3C=SiC+2C0(g)↑; 2SiC+SiO2=3Si+2CO(g)↑. If there is still excess SiC, the SiC will be lifted to the surface.

[0021] At the same time, in response to the arc-shaped heat radiation range of the heating electrode, the silicon material at the edge of the receiving bowl reacts slowly and cannot be effectively solved. The angle adjustment motor is started, and the angle adjustment motor drives the angle adjustment chain to rotate the twisting column. The twisting column twists the fixed block fixed on the fixed nail, and then rotates the angle between the stirring auger and the bottom edge of the receiving bowl. The auger structure cooperates with the silicon material at the periphery of the inner cavity of the receiving bowl to the center of the receiving bowl, effectively solving the problem of uneven heating.

[0022] Due to the limited range of motion of the stirring auger, the rotating motor is started to rotate the rotating gear on the extended rod engaged with the rotating motor, which pushes the rotating gear to rotate the hollow rotating toothed disc, driving the lifting connecting rod and the sliding guide column to rotate, and at the same time driving the lifting support plate and the connecting column to rotate. During the rotation process, the crushing mechanism is also driven to rotate at the same time, ensuring that the stirring auger can perform multi-position crushing and transportation. At the same time, multiple ball bearings are provided between the bearing platforms that support the open heat insulation cover, so that the open heat insulation cover and the bottom edge ring can slide freely, reducing its rotation power demand and further saving energy.

[0023] During the downward movement of the heating electrode, since part of the SiC in the silicon material blocks the downward movement and the threaded rod cannot be continuously moved downward, the lifting rotation motor is started to drive the threaded rod to rotate, further increasing the distance between the lifting plate and the hollow rotating toothed disc, and lifting the lifting support plate. The lifting support plate further lifts the connecting column and the connecting rod, and the arc-shaped buckle plate is lifted synchronously with the auger rotation motor and the angle adjustment motor to achieve the upward translation of the overall structure of the material breaking mechanism. Then, the auger rotation motor and the angle adjustment motor are started, and the top of the stirring auger rotor is moved to the vicinity of the heating electrode. The lifting rotation motor is started to lower the lifting plate, and the silicon material is peeled off near the heating electrode to assist its descent. The above steps are repeated to transfer the silicon material to the vicinity of the heating electrode.

[0024] Due to multiple lifting and transportation of silicon materials, some hard SiC floats on the surface. During the rotation of the open heat shield, it is subjected to the elastic force of the pressure spring, causing the material stripping support plate to fit the surface of the silicon material. Furthermore, the rotation of the hollow rotating gear disk drives the material stripping support plate on the telescopic rod to rotate. At the same time, the material stripping plate in contact with the material stripping support plate below the material stripping support plate causes the arc-shaped guide column to slide in the arc-shaped through groove along the connection direction of the rotating column, causing it to deviate from the central radial axis, driving the surface SiC to be crushed and smoothed. Even if the rotation direction of the open heat shield is changed, the same effect can be achieved. At the same time, the height difference between the two ends of the material stripping plate is utilized to accumulate the silicon material from the outside to the inside, and the stirring auger is cooperated to achieve a better transfer effect, which facilitates the acceleration of the reaction rate.

[0025] The equipment has a simple structure and realizes the transfer and transportation of hard SiC by setting up a multi-angle rotating and lifting stirring auger. At the same time, the auxiliary heating electrode descends in the hard silicon material, solving the problem of moving the edge of the refined material to the high-temperature area. It has good practicality and economic value, which is beneficial to the promotion and use of the equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] As can be seen, the rotating member cooperates with a number of balls 25 to freely rotate the open heat shield 21, reducing the torsional torque and helping to save energy;

[0046] Reference Figure 3 、 4 As shown, the crushing mechanism 3 is located on one side of the middle of the rotating cover 2 near the supporting platform 14. The crushing mechanism 3 includes a crushing lifting member and an adjusting member, which are used to crush and lift the hard products in the smelting, and assist the electrode heating member in heating pretreatment. The crushing lifting member includes three groups of stirring augers 31. The three groups of stirring augers 31 are arranged in a circular array around the electrode heating member and placed in the inner cavity of the material receiving bowl 15. A stirring augers 31 is provided at one end of the stirring augers 31. The long rod of the stirring augers 31 passes through and is rotatably connected to the fixed block 32. The end of the stirring augers 31 away from the material receiving bowl 15 is provided with a first bevel gear 33. Fixed nails 321 are provided on both sides of the fixed block 32. The fixed nails 321 are fixedly connected On the fixed block 32, a second bevel gear 34 is provided on a fixing pin 321 thereof. The second bevel gear 34 is rotatably connected to the fixing pin 321, and the second bevel gear 34 is meshed with the first bevel gear 33. A transmission chain 35 is also provided on the second bevel gear 34. The transmission chain 35 is a chain group with a transmission function in a broad sense. The accompanying drawings are simplified structures and do not represent the actual implementation scale. One end of the transmission chain 35 is transmission-connected to the second bevel gear 34, and the other end of the transmission chain 35 away from the second bevel gear 34 is provided with an auger rotation motor 36. The auger rotation motor 36 is placed outside the opening of the open heat insulation cover 21, and the rotating shaft of the auger rotation motor 36 is transmission-connected to the transmission chain 35;

[0047] In practice, by starting the auger rotation motor 36, the chain is driven to rotate the second bevel gear 34, which engages the first bevel gear 33 to rotate the stirring auger 31 below. This is beneficial to the unique structure of the stirring auger 31.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 、 7 As shown, the lifting mechanism 4 is located above the support plate 12 and is used to cooperate with the crushing mechanism 3 to change its crushing position.

[0055] Reference Figure 8 、 9 As shown, the surface material-digging mechanism 5 is located between the material-breaking mechanism 3 and the rotating cover 2, and is used to cooperate with the rotating cover 2 to gather the materials to the center. The surface material-digging mechanism 5 includes a material-digging support plate 51, which is located above the inner cavity of the material-receiving bowl 15. A plurality of telescopic rods 52 are provided on the material-digging support plate 51.

[0056] Advantageously, the material diverting plate 54 is of a trapezoidal structure, and the length of one side of the material diverting plate 54 close to the center of the material diverting support plate 51 is smaller than the other side;

[0057] In practice, due to multiple lifting and transportation of silicon materials, some hard SiC floats on the surface. During the rotation of the open heat insulation cover 21, the material-dipping support plate 51 is adhered to the surface of the silicon material by the elastic force of the pressure spring 53. Furthermore, the rotation of the hollow rotating gear disc 22 drives the material-dipping support plate 51 on the telescopic rod 52 to rotate. At the same time, the material-dipping plate 54 in contact with the lower side of the material-dipping support plate 51 makes the arc-shaped guide column 541 slide in the arc-shaped through groove 511 along the connection direction of the rotating column 55, so that it deviates from the central radial axis, driving the SiC on the surface to be crushed and smoothed. Even if the rotation direction of the open heat insulation cover 21 is changed, the same effect can be achieved. At the same time, the height difference between the two ends of the material-dipping plate 54 is utilized to stack the silicon material from the outside to the inside, and the stirring auger 31 is used to achieve a better transfer effect, which facilitates the acceleration of the reaction rate and effectively reduces the energy consumption of the electrode.

[0058] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the operator mixes the silicon material with the reducing agent and puts the mixture into the receiving bowl 15. After completion, the heating electrode 13 is started to descend and contact the mixture for heating and refining. Since the carbon mixture as the reducing agent will produce hard SiC during the refining process, SiC will lift the heating electrode 13 to make the contact area reduced, increase the heating power consumption and the probability of damage to the equipment, so the auger rotation motor 36 is started, and the auger rotation motor 36 drives the transmission chain 35 to rotate, and at the same time rotates the first bevel gear 33 engaged with the second bevel gear 34, and the first bevel gear 33 fixes the rotating stirring auger 31. Due to the characteristics of the auger, the change of the rotation direction driven by the auger rotation motor 36 will change the function of crushing and lifting and transporting. If the hard and sinking SiC is crushed, the rotation direction is changed and lifted to the middle, accelerating the reaction rate of SiO2+3C=SiC+2C0(g)↑; 2SiC+SiO2=3Si+2CO(g)↑. If there is still excess SiC, SiC is lifted to the surface.

[0059] At the same time, in response to the arc-shaped heat radiation range of the heating electrode 13, the silicon material located at the edge of the receiving bowl 15 reacts slowly and cannot be effectively solved. The angle adjustment motor 39 is started, and the angle adjustment motor 39 drives the angle adjustment chain 38 to rotate the twisting column 37. The twisting column 37 twists the fixed block 32 fixed on the fixing nail 321, and then rotates the angle between the stirring auger 31 and the bottom edge of the receiving bowl 15. The auger structure cooperates with the silicon material at the periphery of the inner cavity of the receiving bowl 15 to rotate to the center of the receiving bowl 15, effectively solving the problem of uneven heating.

[0060] Because the range of movement of the stirring auger 31 is limited, the rotating motor 23 is started to rotate the rotating gear 232 on the extended rod 231 engaged on the rotating motor 23, and the rotating gear 232 is pushed to rotate the hollow rotating toothed disc 22, driving the lifting connecting rod 46 and the sliding guide column 43 to rotate, and at the same time driving the lifting support plate 41 and the connecting column 42 to rotate. During the rotation process, the crushing mechanism 3 is also driven to rotate at the same time, ensuring that the stirring auger 31 can perform multi-position crushing and transportation. At the same time, a plurality of balls 25 are provided between the supporting platforms 14 supporting the open heat insulation cover 21, so that the open heat insulation cover 21 and the bottom edge ring 24 can slide freely, reducing its rotation power demand and further saving energy.

[0061] During the downward movement of the heating electrode 13, since part of the SiC in the silicon material blocks the downward movement and the heating electrode 13 cannot be continuously moved downward, the lifting and rotating motor 45 is started to drive the threaded rod 451 to rotate, further increasing the distance between the lifting plate 44 and the hollow rotating toothed disc 22, and lifting the lifting support plate 41. The lifting support plate 41 further lifts the connecting column 42 and the connecting rod 46, and the arc-shaped buckle plate 310 is lifted synchronously with the auger rotation motor 36 and the angle adjustment motor 39 to achieve the upward translation of the overall structure of the material breaking mechanism 3. Then, the auger rotation motor 36 and the angle adjustment motor 39 are started, and the top of the rotating head of the stirring auger 31 is moved to the vicinity of the heating electrode 13. Then, the lifting and rotating motor 45 is started to lower the lifting plate 44, and the silicon material is peeled off near the heating electrode 13 to assist its descent. Then, the above steps are repeated to transfer the silicon material to the vicinity of the heating electrode 13.

[0062] Due to multiple lifting and transportation of silicon materials, some hard SiC floats on the surface. During the rotation of the open heat insulation cover 21, it is subjected to the elastic force of the pressure spring 53, and the material-pickup support plate 51 is attached to the surface of the silicon material. Furthermore, the rotation of the hollow rotating gear disc 22 drives the material-pickup support plate 51 on the telescopic rod 52 to rotate. At the same time, the material-pickup plate 54 in contact with the lower side of the material-pickup support plate 51 makes the arc-shaped guide column 541 slide in the arc-shaped through groove 511 along the connection direction of the rotating column 55, so that it deviates from the central radial axis, driving the SiC on the surface to be crushed and smoothed. Even if the rotation direction of the open heat insulation cover 21 is changed, the same effect can be achieved. At the same time, the height difference between the two ends of the material-pickup plate 54 is utilized to stack the silicon material from the outside to the inside, and the stirring auger 31 is cooperated to achieve a better transfer effect, which facilitates the acceleration of the reaction rate.
