DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0018] See also Figure 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a magnesium smelting device based on microwave heating, comprising a support frame 1, the support frame 1 is divided into an upper and a lower layer, and further comprising: The sealed cover 2 is fixed on the support frame 1 through a support rod; There are several reduction components 3, and they have the same structure and are respectively installed in the closed cover 2; A plurality of microwave generators 4 are provided in two rows and are distributed on the upper and lower layers of the support frame 1, and the positions of the microwave generators 4 on the upper layer of the support frame 1 and the microwave generators 4 on the lower layer correspond to each other one by one; The waveguide tube 41 is installed on the microwave generator 4. All the waveguide tubes 41 are connected to one side of the closed cover 2. A waveguide slit antenna 42 is installed through the waveguide tube 41. One side of the waveguide tube 41 is fixed to the microwave generator 4 by bolts, and the other side is located inside the closed cover 2. The waveguide slit antenna 42 is located on the upper and lower sides of the reduction component 3 and clamps the reduction component 3.

[0019] The reduction component 3 includes a first water-cooled casting flange 31 and a second bidirectional water-cooled casting flange 32 installed on the closed cover 2, the first water-cooled casting flange 31 is located on the outer wall on the opposite side of the waveguide tube 41, the second bidirectional water-cooled casting flange 32 is located on the inner wall on the same side as the waveguide tube 41, and penetrates the corresponding side of the closed cover 2, a silicon nitride furnace tube 33 is installed in the closed cover 2, and a third water-cooled casting flange 34 and a fourth water-cooled casting flange 35 are respectively sleeved on the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, the third water-cooled casting flange 34 and the fourth water-cooled casting flange 35 are respectively located on both sides of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, the first water-cooled casting flange 31 and the third water-cooled casting flange 34 are fixed to one side of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 by bolts, the part of the second bidirectional water-cooled casting flange 32 located inside the closed cover 2 and the fourth water-cooled casting flange 35 are fixed to the other side of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 by bolts, and also includes an auxiliary component 300 installed on the closed cover 2.

[0020] The first water-cooled casting flange 31 , the second bidirectional water-cooled casting flange 32 , the third water-cooled casting flange 34 and the fourth water-cooled casting flange 35 are all made of heat-resistant cast steel, which increases the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0021] Carbon packing rings 5 ​​are fixed on both sides of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33. One side of the carbon packing ring 5 away from the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 is fixed to one side of the first water-cooled casting flange 31, and the other side of the other carbon packing ring 5 is fixed to one side of the second two-way water-cooled casting flange 32.

[0022] The carbon packing ring 5 has good resistance to high temperature and high pressure, as well as excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and has a stable sealing effect. When the raw materials are smelted inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, it is of great help to the vacuum inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and will not be affected by the chemical reaction occurring during the smelting of the raw materials, which has a significant positive effect on the quality of the final magnesium product.

[0023] A heat shield 61 is installed throughout the silicon nitride furnace tube 33. There are two heat shields 61, which are located at the two ends of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 respectively. The heat shield 61 located at one end close to the first water-cooled casting flange 31 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and is provided with a first through hole 62. There are several first through holes 62. The heat shield 61 close to the second bidirectional water-cooled casting flange 32 is fixedly connected.

[0024] The heat shield 61 can prevent the heat in the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 from being lost significantly from both sides of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33. The first through hole 62 can ensure that the magnesium vapor can smoothly enter the crystallization tube 307. After the single furnace smelting is completed, the heat shield 61 that is slidably connected to the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 can be removed, which is convenient for removing the waste slag inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 and adding new raw materials.

[0025] The auxiliary component 300 includes a docking sleeve 301 that penetrates and is fixed on the first water-cooled casting flange 31, a first vacuum flange pipe 302 is connected and installed on one side of the docking sleeve 301, the first vacuum flange pipe 302 is externally connected to the vacuum system, a second vacuum flange 303 is arranged on the top of the docking sleeve 301, a sealing cover 304 is installed on the top of the docking sleeve 301, the sealing cover 304 is connected to the docking sleeve 301 through the second vacuum flange 303, and a fluororubber sealing ring 305 is arranged at the connection with the docking sleeve 301, a limiting frame 306 is slidably arranged in the docking sleeve 301, a crystallization cylinder 307 is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting frame 306, and a crystallization filter plate 308 is installed on the inner wall of the end where the crystallization cylinder 307 is connected to the limiting frame 306; It also includes a cooling jacket 309 sleeved on the docking sleeve 301, an annular partition 3010 is fixed in the middle of the cooling jacket 309, a second through hole 3011 is opened on the annular partition 3010, and there are a plurality of second through holes 3011. The annular partition 3010 and the second through holes 3011 divide the cooling jacket 309 into two connected cavities, and the two cavities are respectively connected with a water inlet pipe 3012 and a water outlet pipe 3013, and the water inlet pipe 3012 and the water outlet pipe 3013 are both connected to the central water cooling circulation system.

[0026] The water inlet pipe 3012 continuously supplies cold water to a cavity in the cooling jacket 309. Under the pressure provided by the central water cooling circulation system, the cold water enters another cavity through the second through hole 3011 on the annular partition 3010, and returns to the central water cooling circulation system from the water outlet pipe 3013 for cooling, so as to continuously reduce the temperature of the parts connected to the butt tube 301, so that the magnesium vapor is easier to crystallize in the crystallization tube 307. The limit frame 306 can prevent the negative pressure generated by the vacuum system from changing the position of the crystallization tube 307. It should be noted that the presence of the annular baffle 3010 and the second through hole 3011 slows down the water flow rate inside the cavity responsible for water inlet and performs diversion, ensuring that the water in the water inlet cavity of the cooling jacket 309 can evenly enter the water outlet cavity to evenly cool the crystallization tube 307.

[0027] High-purity alumina fibers 21 are arranged inside the sealed cover 2 , and the high-purity alumina fibers 21 fill the rest of the space inside the sealed cover 2 except for the path between the waveguide slot antenna 42 and the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 .

[0028] High-purity alumina fiber 21 has excellent heat resistance, thermal insulation, and chemical stability. It is widely used in modern industry and is easy to purchase. As a thermal insulation material, it can effectively prevent heat loss inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and the heat is efficiently utilized, further shortening the time required for magnesium smelting.

[0029] The second bidirectional water-cooled casting flange 32 is located on the outer side of the closed cover 2 and is connected to a sealing flange 71. The sealing flange 71 is penetrated by a thermocouple 72. The number of the thermocouples 72 is consistent with the number of the silicon nitride furnace tubes 33. One end of the thermocouple 72 is located inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and the thermocouple 72 is electrically connected to the microwave generator 4 on the upper and lower layers on the corresponding side.

[0030] The connection between the thermocouple 72 and the sealing flange 71 is welded, and the sealing flange 71 is airtight to further prevent microwave leakage and heat loss. The thermocouple 72 monitors the temperature inside the corresponding silicon nitride furnace tube 33 in real time. When the temperature inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 is too high or too low, the power of the corresponding microwave generator 4 is adjusted in real time to ensure that the temperature inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 is maintained within a suitable range.

[0031] High-purity alumina fiber 21 is placed inside the second two-way water-cooled casting flange 32 to prevent microwave leakage from the second two-way water-cooled casting flange 32, and at the same time, the bottom of the silicon nitride furnace tube is wrapped to prevent heat loss therefrom.

[0032] The working principle is as follows: before production, the staff opens the sealed cover 304, takes out the crystallization tube 307 through the limiting frame 306, then takes out the heat shielding plate 61 slidably connected to the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, adds raw materials into the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and then resets the heat shielding plate 61 slidably connected to the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, the crystallization tube 307, and the limiting frame 306 in turn, and reseals the docking tube 301 through the sealed cover 304. One end of the limiting frame 306 is in contact with the inner side of the sealed cover 304. Even when the vacuum system draws negative pressure, the position of the crystallization tube 307 will not change. The vacuum value inside the device is continuously reduced through the vacuum system, and the central water-cooling circulation system continuously cools the butt joint 301 part. The microwave generator 4 is turned on. When the temperature inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 is too high or too low, the thermocouple 72 monitors and sends a signal to the corresponding microwave generator 4. The microwave generator 4 adjusts the power to ensure that the temperature inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 is maintained within a suitable range to reduce the raw materials. In this process, the first water-cooled casting flange 31, the second two-way water-cooled casting flange 32, the third water-cooled casting flange 34 and the fourth water-cooled casting flange 35 are all made of resistant Hot cast steel increases the stability of the equipment during operation. The carbon packing ring 5 has good high temperature and high pressure resistance, as well as excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and has a stable sealing effect. When the raw materials are smelted inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, it is of great help to the vacuum inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and will not be affected by the chemical reaction occurring during the smelting of the raw materials, which has a significant positive effect on the quality of the final magnesium product. The heat shield 61 can prevent the heat in the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 from being lost in large quantities from both sides of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and the first through hole 62 can ensure that the magnesium vapor can smoothly enter the crystallization tube 307. As the water inlet pipe 3012 continuously supplies cold water to a cavity in the cooling jacket 309, the cold water enters another cavity through the second through hole 3011 on the annular partition 3010 under the pressure provided by the central water cooling circulation system, and returns to the central water cooling circulation system from the water outlet pipe 3013 for cooling, the temperature of the parts of the docking tube 301 is continuously reduced, so that the magnesium vapor is easier to crystallize in the crystallization tube 307. The high-purity alumina fiber 21 has excellent heat resistance, heat insulation, and chemical stability. As a heat preservation material, it can effectively prevent the heat loss inside the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and the heat is efficiently used, further shortening the time required for magnesium smelting. Finally, the device can restore higher quality magnesium in a shorter time; After the smelting is completed, the staff opens the sealed cover 304, takes out the crystallization tube 307 through the limit frame 306, then takes out the heat shield plate 61 which is slidably connected to the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, removes and collects the magnesium in the crystallization tube 307, takes out the waste slag in the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and then re-adds raw materials into the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, and resets the heat shield plate 61 which is slidably connected to the silicon nitride furnace tube 33, the crystallization tube 307 and the limit frame 306 in turn, re-seals the docking tube 301 through the sealed cover 304, and smelting can be carried out again. Example 2

[0033] Based on Example 1, this application further optimizes the present invention: There are 10 sets of microwave generators 4, each set has a power of 25kw and a microwave frequency of 915MHz.

[0034] The inner diameter of the silicon nitride furnace tube 33 is 260 mm and the length is 1600 mm. The closed cover 2 is 3000 mm in length, 1750 mm in width and 1200 mm in height.

[0035] The device is set up with the above data, which is more convenient for transportation and installation. Traditional box transport vehicles can be used for transportation. Multiple groups can operate at the same time, and the production efficiency can also be guaranteed. After testing, the raw material processing capacity of a single silicon nitride furnace tube 33 in this device is 480kg, and the crude magnesium output is 72kg. Five furnaces can be operated at the same time in this device, that is, the single raw material processing capacity of this device is 2400kg, and the crude magnesium output is 360kg. When the raw material smelting temperature is 1100℃, compared with the 12 hours required for traditional Pijiang method smelting, this device only takes 4 hours to complete, and the maximum operating temperature of this device is 1450℃. As the temperature rises, the reduction time of a single furnace is 1-4 hours, which greatly improves production efficiency.
