Description

A self-consuming furnace crystallizer cleaning device and its usage method Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of iron and steel metallurgy technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for an arc furnace crystallizer and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Vacuum arc furnaces can melt active or refractory metals and their alloys such as titanium, molybdenum, zirconium, niobium, and tungsten. Since the late 1950s, they have been used to melt stainless steel, tool steel, bearing steel, high-temperature alloys, and other materials. Materials melted using arc furnaces have advantages such as high homogeneity, good density, no macroscopic segregation, and almost no microscopic segregation. Therefore, they are widely used in the production of materials in the fields of aviation, aerospace, energy, and transportation.

[0003] However, after the smelting of the self-consuming furnace is completed, there will be a lot of impurities and residues on the inner wall of the crystallizer that are difficult to clean. In order to prevent these residual substances from affecting the next smelting, the inner wall of the crystallizer must be cleaned after each smelting. In the existing technology, for the cleaning of some small self-consuming furnace cleaners, the traditional cleaning method is to manually clean the inner wall with a long-handled steel wire brush. Obviously, this is not only inefficient, but also cannot guarantee the cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a cleaning device for consumable furnace crystallizers, which solves the technical problems of low efficiency and unreliable cleaning effect when cleaning consumable furnace crystallizers in existing technologies, and has the advantages of greatly improving cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a self-consuming furnace crystallizer cleaning device, comprising a box body, a discharge chute on the left side of the box body, a top cover plate at the upper end of the box body, a lifting auxiliary mechanism and a rotating cleaning mechanism at the upper end of the top cover plate, a circulating feeding mechanism inside the box body, a discharge auxiliary mechanism below the circulating feeding mechanism, and a limit cleaning mechanism inside the rotating cleaning mechanism. When cleaning the crystallizer body using this device, the circulating feeding mechanism transports the crystallizer body directly below the rotating cleaning mechanism. Then, the lifting auxiliary mechanism and the rotating cleaning mechanism clean the interior of the crystallizer body. The lifting auxiliary mechanism includes an installation platform, and the rotating cleaning mechanism includes a fixed installation... The drive motor is located at the top of the mounting platform. The output shaft of the drive motor extends to the bottom of the mounting platform and is connected to a rotating bracket. A square straight plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating bracket. Two square straight plates are symmetrically installed at the lower end of the square straight plate. A water storage cylinder is detachably installed between the two square straight plates. A movable ring is movably installed on the outside of the water storage cylinder. Two cleaning pipes are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the movable ring. Several sets of rubber scrapers are evenly spaced on the outside of the cleaning pipes. A leakage through hole is opened on the outer surface of the cleaning pipe. A drainage groove is opened at the lower end of the water storage cylinder. When the rotating bracket rotates under the action of the drive motor, the square straight plate, the mounting plate and the cleaning pipes will rotate synchronously. When the cleaning pipes rotate, they will scrape and clean the inner wall of the crystallizer body.

[0006] Preferably, the lifting auxiliary mechanism includes rectangular slide grooves symmetrically opened on the upper end of the top cover plate. Sliding components are movably installed inside both rectangular slide grooves. A lifting motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of one sliding component, and a drive screw is driven to the output end of the lifting motor. A vertical guide rod is fixedly installed at the upper end of the other sliding component. The vertical guide rod is slidably connected to the installation platform. The installation platform and the drive screw are threaded together. When the drive screw rotates under the drive of the lifting motor, it causes the installation platform to slide up and down along the vertical guide rod, thereby causing the rotating cleaning mechanism to move synchronously.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a movable protrusion that is slidably connected to the rectangular slide groove. A return spring is provided between the movable protrusion and the inner wall of the rectangular slide groove. When the movable protrusion moves horizontally along the rectangular slide groove, it will cause the drive screw, the vertical guide rod and the mounting platform to move synchronously.

[0008] Preferably, several sets of leakage through holes are equally spaced, and a set of leakage through holes is provided between every two sets of rubber scrapers. When the cleaning tube rotates rapidly under the action of the installation platform, the clean water inside the cleaning tube will fly out through the leakage through holes.

[0009] Preferably, the circulating feeding mechanism includes a rectangular shell fixedly installed inside the housing. A movable frame is rotatably connected inside the rectangular shell. A water storage cavity is opened inside the movable frame. Several conveying boxes are arranged on the movable frame. Two telescopic push rods are symmetrically installed inside the conveying boxes. Limiting blocks are fixedly installed at the ends of the two telescopic push rods. A drain mesh hole is opened at the bottom of the conveying box, which is connected to the water storage cavity. A drive motor for rotating the movable frame is fixedly installed on the back of the rectangular shell. A drying component is arranged on the left side of the rectangular shell. A feeding channel is opened on the right side of the rectangular shell, which passes through the housing. The movable frame rotates 90 degrees each time under the action of the drive motor. Each rotation will convey one crystallizer body to the bottom of the cleaning tube, thereby realizing automatic feeding.

[0010] Preferably, the drying assembly includes a heating fan fixedly installed on the side of the rectangular shell. The outlet of the heating fan is connected to an exhaust pipe, which is connected to the interior of the rectangular shell. When the heating fan is powered on, it blows hot air horizontally into the interior of the rectangular shell through the exhaust pipe, thereby drying the interior of the crystallizer body.

[0011] Preferably, the discharge auxiliary mechanism includes a first mounting base and a second mounting base fixedly installed inside the housing. A drive roller is movably mounted on the first mounting base, and a driven roller is movably mounted on the second mounting base. A conveyor belt is arranged between the drive roller and the driven roller. The conveyor belt is located directly below the rectangular housing. A transmission assembly is arranged between the drive roller and the drive motor. A guide plate is arranged between the left side of the conveyor belt and the discharge trough. After the crystallizer body falls from inside the conveyor box, it will fall above the conveyor belt. Subsequently, the conveyor belt will transport the crystallizer body horizontally to the left, so that it is discharged outward through the discharge trough.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission component is a transmission belt, and the drive roller and the drive motor are connected by the transmission belt. When the drive motor is powered on, the drive roller will rotate synchronously under the action of the transmission belt.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting cleaning mechanism includes a circular through hole through the square straight plate, a cleaning scraper is movably installed inside the circular through hole, a fixing protrusion is provided at the upper end of the cleaning scraper, and an electric push rod is provided at the upper end of the square straight plate for moving the cleaning scraper up and down. Initially, the cleaning scraper is located above the square straight plate. After the cleaning tube is replaced, the cleaning scraper will move downward under the action of the electric push rod.

[0014] The method of using the self-consuming furnace crystallizer cleaning device is as follows: First, the crystallizer body is transported to the bottom of the rotary cleaning mechanism through the circulating feeding mechanism. Next, the lifting auxiliary mechanism will adjust the position of the rotary cleaning mechanism. After the position adjustment is completed, the rotary cleaning mechanism will quickly clean the inside of the crystallizer body. After cleaning, the rotary cleaning mechanism will first dry the inside of the crystallizer body and then transport it to the inside of the discharge auxiliary mechanism. Subsequently, the discharge auxiliary mechanism will transport the crystallizer body to the outside of the box.

[0015] By means of the above technical solution, the present invention provides a cleaning device for a consumable furnace crystallizer, which has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This invention, by setting up a rotating cleaning mechanism, utilizes the cooperation between the rubber scraper and the liquid leakage through-hole to automatically rotate and clean the inner wall of the crystallizer body, quickly removing impurities remaining on the inner wall of the crystallizer body. Moreover, during the rotating cleaning process, the clean water in the water storage cylinder will be sprayed out evenly through several sets of liquid leakage through-holes, which can effectively improve the effect and efficiency of rotating cleaning.

[0017] 2. By setting up a rotating cleaning mechanism, the present invention utilizes the cooperation between the movable ring and the water storage cylinder to help workers quickly replace the cleaning tube, avoiding the accumulation of debris inside the gaps of the rubber scraper due to prolonged use of the same cleaning tube, thus effectively improving the cleaning effect.

[0018] 3. By setting up a lifting auxiliary mechanism, the present invention utilizes the cooperation between the drive screw and the installation platform to vertically lift the installation platform, thereby enabling the cleaning tube to move up and down repeatedly during rotation, which can improve the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the crystallizer to a certain extent.

[0019] 4. By setting up a lifting auxiliary mechanism, the present invention utilizes the cooperation between the movable protrusion and the return spring to ensure that the installation platform remains stable during cleaning and processing, and to prevent debris from falling into the box during parts maintenance, making it convenient to use.

[0020] 5. By setting up a circulating feeding mechanism, the present invention utilizes the cooperation between the movable frame and the conveyor box to circulate and transport the crystallizer body, realizing the integrated operation of feeding, cleaning, drying and discharging. It eliminates the need to transfer the crystallizer body back and forth between multiple processing devices, which can greatly improve the efficiency of cleaning operations and reduce the labor intensity of workers.

[0021] 6. By setting up a circulating feeding mechanism, the present invention can automatically clamp and limit the crystallizer body during the cleaning and conveying process by utilizing the cooperation between the limiting clamp and the drain mesh, so as to prevent the crystallizer body from falling out of the conveying box. When the crystallizer body moves to the bottom of the rectangular shell, the clean water in the water storage cavity will automatically flow downward to rinse the outer surface of the crystallizer body.

[0022] 7. By setting up a discharge auxiliary mechanism and utilizing the cooperation between the conveyor belt drive components, the present invention can automatically transport the cleaned crystallizer body to the outside of the box, thereby completing the unloading. No manual operation by the staff is required, which can also improve the efficiency of crystallizer cleaning operations to a certain extent.

[0023] 8. By setting a limiting cleaning mechanism, the present invention utilizes the cooperation between the cleaning scraper and the electric push rod to automatically scrape and clean the replaced cleaning tube after the cleaning tube is replaced, removing impurities trapped inside the rubber scraper. It also limits the position of the cleaning tube to keep it in a vertical state, preventing it from tilting, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] As shown in Figures 1, 2, and 3, a self-consuming furnace crystallizer cleaning device includes a housing 1. A discharge trough 2 is provided on the left side of the housing 1. A top cover 3 is provided at the upper end of the housing 1. A lifting auxiliary mechanism 4 and a rotating cleaning mechanism 5 are provided at the upper end of the top cover 3. A circulating feeding mechanism 6 is provided inside the housing 1. A discharge auxiliary mechanism 7 is provided below the circulating feeding mechanism 6. A limit cleaning mechanism 8 is provided inside the rotating cleaning mechanism 5. When cleaning the crystallizer body 9 using this device, the circulating feeding mechanism 6 will transport the crystallizer body 9 directly below the rotating cleaning mechanism 5. Then, the lifting auxiliary mechanism 4 and the rotating cleaning mechanism 5 will clean the inside of the crystallizer body 9.

[0039] Specifically, the lifting auxiliary mechanism 4 includes rectangular slides 401 symmetrically opened on the upper end of the top cover plate 3. Sliding components 402 are movably installed inside both rectangular slides 401. A lifting motor 403 is fixedly installed on the upper end of one of the sliding components 402. A drive screw 404 is driven to the output end of the lifting motor 403. A vertical guide rod 406 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the other sliding component 402. The vertical guide rod 406 is slidably connected to the mounting platform 405. The mounting platform 405 is threadedly engaged with the drive screw 404. When the drive screw 404 rotates under the drive of the lifting motor 403, it causes the mounting platform 405 to slide up and down along the vertical guide rod 406, thereby causing the rotating cleaning mechanism 5 to move synchronously.

[0040] More specifically, the sliding assembly 402 includes a movable protrusion that is slidably connected to the rectangular slide groove 401. A return spring is provided between the movable protrusion and the inner wall of the rectangular slide groove 401. When the movable protrusion moves horizontally along the rectangular slide groove 401, it will cause the drive screw 404, the vertical guide rod 406 and the mounting platform 405 to move synchronously.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the staff needs to inspect and maintain the rotating cleaning mechanism 5, they will pull the sliding component 402 to the left, so that the rotating cleaning mechanism 5 moves horizontally to the left, thus preventing debris generated during the inspection from falling into the inside of the box 1.

[0042] After maintenance, the sliding assembly 402 will return to the right end of the rectangular slide 401 under the elastic force of the return spring. Next, the drive screw 404 will rotate under the action of the lifting motor 403. When the drive screw 404 rotates, the mounting platform 405 will move vertically downward. When the mounting platform 405 moves downward, the square straight plate 503, the water storage cylinder 505 and the movable ring 506 will move downward synchronously, so that the cleaning pipe 507 extends into the interior of the crystallizer body 9.

[0043] Subsequently, the rotating cleaning mechanism 5 will rotate and clean the inside of the crystallizer body 9, thereby removing impurities from the inner wall of the crystallizer body 9.

[0044] This embodiment, by setting up a lifting auxiliary mechanism 4, utilizes the cooperation between the drive screw 404 and the mounting platform 405 to vertically lift the mounting platform 405, thereby enabling the cleaning tube 507 to move up and down reciprocally during rotation, which can improve the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the crystallizer body 9 to a certain extent. Moreover, by setting up a lifting auxiliary mechanism 4, this embodiment utilizes the cooperation between the movable protrusion and the return spring to ensure that the mounting platform 405 remains stable during cleaning and prevents debris from falling into the interior of the housing 1 during parts maintenance, making it convenient to use.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] As shown in Figures 1-7, based on Embodiment 1, the rotating cleaning mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 501 fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting platform 405. The output shaft of the drive motor 501 extends to the lower part of the mounting platform 405 and is connected to a rotating bracket 502. A square straight plate 503 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating bracket 502. Two square straight plates 503 are symmetrically installed at the lower end of the square straight plate 503. A water storage cylinder 505 is detachably installed between the two square straight plates 503. A movable ring 506 is movably installed on the outside of the water storage cylinder 505. Two cleaning pipes 507 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the movable ring 506. Several cleaning pipes 507 are evenly spaced on the outside of the cleaning pipes 507. The outer surface of the cleaning tube 507 is provided with a set of rubber scrapers 508 and a set of leakage through holes 509. Several sets of leakage through holes 509 are provided at equal intervals. A set of leakage through holes 509 is provided between every two sets of rubber scrapers 508. When the cleaning tube 507 rotates rapidly under the action of the mounting platform 405, the clean water inside the cleaning tube 507 will fly out through the leakage through holes 509. The lower end of the water storage cylinder 505 is provided with a drainage channel 510. When the rotating bracket 502 rotates under the action of the drive motor 501, the square straight plate 503, the mounting plate 504 and the cleaning tube 507 will rotate synchronously. When the cleaning tube 507 rotates, it will scrape and clean the inner wall of the crystallizer body 9.

[0047] In this embodiment, as can be seen from the above, when in use, the cleaning tube 507 will extend into the interior of the crystallizer body 9 under the action of the lifting auxiliary mechanism 4. Next, the rotating bracket 502 will rotate rapidly under the action of the drive motor 501. When the rotating bracket 502 rotates, the square straight plate 503, the mounting plate 504, the water storage cylinder 505 and the cleaning tube 507 will rotate synchronously.

[0048] When the cleaning tube 507 rotates, multiple rubber scrapers 508 continuously rub against the inner wall of the crystallizer body 9, thereby scraping off the impurities remaining on the inner wall of the crystallizer body 9. Moreover, when the cleaning tube 507 is in a vertical state, the clean water inside the water storage cylinder 505 can enter the interior of the cleaning tube 507 through the drainage channel 510. Therefore, when the cleaning tube 507 rotates, the clean water inside will fly out through several leakage holes 509 under the action of centrifugal force, which can effectively improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0049] After continuous operation for a certain period of time, the installation platform 405 will move upward under the action of the drive screw 404, thereby removing the cleaning tube 507 from the inside of the housing 1. Then, the operator will pull the sliding component 402 horizontally to the left and manually rotate the movable ring 506 to rotate another cleaning tube 507 to directly below the water storage cylinder 505. Subsequently, the movable protrusion will return to the right end of the rectangular slide 401 under the action of the return spring, thus completing the quick replacement of the cleaning tube 507.

[0050] This embodiment, by setting up a rotating cleaning mechanism 5, utilizes the interaction between the rubber scraper 508 and the leakage through-hole 509 to automatically rotate and clean the inner wall of the crystallizer body 9, quickly removing impurities remaining on the inner wall of the crystallizer body 9. Furthermore, during the rotating cleaning process, clean water in the water storage cylinder 505 is evenly sprayed outwards through several sets of leakage through-holes 509, effectively improving the effect and efficiency of the rotating cleaning. In addition, by setting up the rotating cleaning mechanism 5, and utilizing the interaction between the movable ring 506 and the water storage cylinder 505, this embodiment helps workers quickly replace the cleaning tube 507, preventing debris from getting trapped inside the gaps of the rubber scraper 508 due to prolonged use of the same cleaning tube 507, thus effectively improving the cleaning effect.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] As shown in Figures 2, 3, 8, and 9, based on the above embodiment, the circulating feeding mechanism 6 includes a rectangular shell 601 fixedly installed inside the housing 1. A movable frame 602 is rotatably connected inside the rectangular shell 601. A water storage cavity is opened inside the movable frame 602. Several conveying boxes 603 are arranged on the movable frame 602. Two telescopic push rods 604 are symmetrically installed inside the conveying boxes 603. Limiting clamps 605 are fixedly installed at the ends of the two telescopic push rods 604. A drain is opened at the bottom of the conveying box 603. Mesh 606, the drain mesh 606 is connected to the water storage cavity. A drive motor 607 for rotating the movable frame 602 is fixedly installed on the back of the rectangular shell 601. A drying component 608 is provided on the left side of the rectangular shell 601. A feeding channel 609 is opened on the right side of the rectangular shell 601. The feeding channel 609 passes through the box 1. The movable frame 602 rotates 90 degrees each time under the action of the drive motor 607. Each rotation will transport a crystallizer body 9 directly below the cleaning tube 507, thereby realizing automatic feeding.

[0053] Specifically, the drying assembly 608 includes a heating fan fixedly installed on the side of the rectangular housing 601. The outlet of the heating fan is connected to an exhaust pipe, which is connected to the interior of the rectangular housing 601. When the heating fan is powered on, it blows hot air horizontally into the interior of the rectangular housing 601 through the exhaust pipe, thereby drying the interior of the crystallizer body 9.

[0054] In this embodiment, the movable frame 602 will rotate counterclockwise intermittently under the action of the drive motor 607, and rotate 90 degrees each time, as shown in Figure 8. When in use, the operator will place the crystallizer body 9 into the inside of the conveying box 603 through the feeding channel 609. Next, the movable frame 602 will rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise to transport the crystallizer body 9 directly below the cleaning tube 507. Subsequently, the cleaning tube 507 will rotate and clean the inside of the crystallizer body 9.

[0055] During the rotation cleaning process, water splashed from inside the crystallizer body 9 will fall into the water storage cavity through the drain mesh 606. After cleaning, the movable frame 602 will continue to rotate 90 degrees to transport the cleaned crystallizer body 9 to the right side of the exhaust pipe. Then, the heating fan will blow hot air into the interior of the crystallizer body 9 through the exhaust pipe to quickly dry the interior of the crystallizer body 9.

[0056] After drying, the movable frame 602 will continue to rotate 90 degrees to transport the dried crystallizer body 9 to the top of the conveyor belt 705. At this time, the clean water stored in the water storage cavity will flow down through the drain mesh 606 to rinse the outer surface of the crystallizer body 9. After rinsing, the limiting clamp 605 will release its clamping effect on the crystallizer body 9, and then the crystallizer body 9 will fall onto the conveyor belt 705.

[0057] This embodiment, by setting up a circulating feeding mechanism 6, utilizes the cooperation between the movable frame 602 and the conveying box 603 to circulate and convey the crystallizer body 9, realizing the integrated operation of feeding, cleaning, drying, and discharging. It eliminates the need to transfer the crystallizer body 9 back and forth between multiple processing devices, which can greatly improve the efficiency of the cleaning operation and reduce the labor intensity of the workers. Moreover, by setting up a circulating feeding mechanism 6, this embodiment utilizes the cooperation between the limiting clamp 605 and the drain mesh 606 to automatically clamp and limit the crystallizer body 9 during the cleaning and conveying process, preventing the crystallizer body 9 from falling out of the conveying box 603. Furthermore, when the crystallizer body 9 moves to the bottom of the rectangular shell 601, the clean water in the water storage cavity will automatically flow downward to rinse the outer surface of the crystallizer body 9.

[0058] Example 4

[0059] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 8, based on the above embodiment, the discharge auxiliary mechanism 7 includes a first mounting base 701 and a second mounting base 702 fixedly installed inside the housing 1. A drive roller 703 is movably mounted on the first mounting base 701, and a driven roller 704 is movably mounted on the second mounting base 702. A conveyor belt 705 is arranged between the drive roller 703 and the driven roller 704. The conveyor belt 705 is located directly below the rectangular housing 601. A transmission assembly 706 is arranged between the drive roller 703 and the drive motor 607. A guide plate 707 is arranged between the left side of the conveyor belt 705 and the discharge trough 2. After the crystallizer body 9 falls from inside the conveyor box 603, it will fall above the conveyor belt 705. Subsequently, the conveyor belt 705 will transport the crystallizer body 9 horizontally to the left, so that it is discharged outward through the discharge trough 2.

[0060] Specifically, the transmission component 706 is a transmission belt, and the drive roller 703 and the drive motor 607 are connected by the transmission belt. When the drive motor 607 is powered on, the drive roller 703 will rotate synchronously under the action of the transmission belt.

[0061] In this embodiment, as described above, the crystallizer body 9, after being cleaned and dried, will fall downwards above the conveyor belt 705. At the same time, the drive roller 703 will rotate synchronously under the action of the transmission component 706. When the drive roller 703 rotates, it will cause the conveyor belt 705 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby causing the crystallizer body 9 to move horizontally to the left.

[0062] When the crystallizer body 9 moves to the left side of the conveyor belt 705, it will be discharged outward through the discharge trough 2 under the action of the feed inclined plate 707, thus completing the unloading.

[0063] In this embodiment, by setting up a discharge auxiliary mechanism 7, and utilizing the cooperation between the conveyor belt 705 and the transmission assembly 706, the cleaned crystallizer body 9 can be automatically transported to the outside of the box 1, thereby completing the unloading. No manual operation by the staff is required, which can also improve the efficiency of the crystallizer cleaning operation to a certain extent.

[0065] As shown in Figures 2, 4, and 10, based on the above embodiment, the limiting cleaning mechanism 8 includes a circular through hole 801 that penetrates the square straight plate 503. A cleaning scraper 802 is movably installed inside the circular through hole 801. A fixing protrusion 803 is provided at the upper end of the cleaning scraper 802. An electric push rod 804 for moving the cleaning scraper 802 up and down is provided at the upper end of the square straight plate 503. Initially, the cleaning scraper 802 is located above the square straight plate 503. After the cleaning tube 507 is replaced, the cleaning scraper 802 will move downward under the action of the electric push rod 804.

[0066] In this embodiment, as described above, after working continuously for a certain period of time, the operator will rotate the movable ring 506 to quickly replace the cleaning tube 507. After the replacement is completed, the cleaning scraper 802 will move vertically downward under the action of the electric push rod 804. During the downward movement of the cleaning scraper 802, the rubber scraper 508 will be agitated, causing the impurities trapped inside the rubber scraper 508 to fall off, thereby scraping and cleaning the replaced cleaning tube 507.

[0067] Furthermore, the downward movement of the cleaning scraper 802 limits the position of the movable ring 506 and the cleaning tube 507, preventing the position of the cleaning tube 507 from changing during the rotation cleaning process.

[0068] This embodiment, by setting a limiting cleaning mechanism 8, utilizes the cooperation between the cleaning scraper 802 and the electric push rod 804 to automatically scrape and clean the replaced cleaning tube 507 after it is replaced, removing impurities trapped inside the rubber scraper 508, and limiting the position of the cleaning tube 507 to keep it in a vertical state to avoid tilting, which can effectively improve the cleaning effect.

[0069] Example 6

[0070] The method of using the self-consuming furnace crystallizer cleaning device described above is as follows:

[0071] First, the crystallizer body 9 is transported to the bottom of the rotary cleaning mechanism 5 via the circulating feeding mechanism 6;

[0072] Second, the lifting auxiliary mechanism 4 will adjust the position of the rotating cleaning mechanism 5. After the position adjustment is completed, the rotating cleaning mechanism 5 will quickly clean the inside of the crystallizer body 9.

[0073] 3. After cleaning, the rotary cleaning mechanism 5 will first dry the inside of the crystallizer body 9, and then transport it to the inside of the discharge auxiliary mechanism 7.

[0074] Fourth, the discharge auxiliary mechanism 7 will then transport the crystallizer body 9 to the outside of the box 1.
