The general melting temperature can reach above 1750℃, and the temperature for refractory materials is even higher. With the advancement of technology, although the indicators of induction furnaces in environmental protection and energy saving are constantly improving, and even research and application have been made in furnace mouth insulation (thermal radiation isolation, weakening heat convection), it is found through consulting the data that such applications are limited to covering in atmospheric environment, and no design scheme suitable for insulation covering of vacuum induction melting furnaces has been found so far.

[0003] For example, the patent with application number 201620513391.1 discloses a transmission structure for the insulation cover of an induction furnace. The design purpose of the patent is to use an electric push rod to realize the opening and closing of the insulation cover to the furnace mouth, so as to reduce the heat loss caused by heat radiation. However, the transmission structure needs to reserve a large space on the side of the insulation cover, which makes the transmission structure occupy a large space and has certain limitations in applicable occasions. Moreover, the flipping angle range of the insulation cover is small. When the electric furnace is shaking the ladle (generally used in the metal smelting process) and pouring the ladle, the insulation furnace cover needs to be fully opened before it can proceed. In addition, there is no such large installation space around the vacuum furnace, and the transmission structure of the insulation cover of the induction furnace is not suitable.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a smelting furnace provided in an embodiment of the present application is now described in detail. The smelting furnace comprises a furnace body 15 and an automatically foldable smelting furnace mouth insulation cover plate arranged on the top of the furnace body 15. A furnace mouth 16 is arranged on the top of the furnace body 15, and the automatically foldable smelting furnace mouth insulation cover plate is used to open and close the furnace mouth 16; a pouring shaft 17 is also arranged on one side of the top of the furnace body 15, which is used to realize the smelting furnace to perform actions such as flip casting and shaking the ladle.
