[0026] A door stopper assembly 7 is provided at the middle of the furnace door 2. The door stopper assembly 7 includes a transverse guide shaft 71. The two ends of the guide shaft 71 are respectively inserted and fixedly connected with end blocks 72. The end blocks 72 are fixedly connected to the furnace door 2. The guide shaft 71 is inserted and covered with an annular magnet block 73. The magnet block 73 is sucked on the end block 72 at the left end of the guide shaft 71. A transverse steel wire rope 74 is inserted and fixed on the magnet block 73. The steel wire rope 74 is in a tensioned state. The steel wire rope 74 passes through the end block 72 at the right end of the guide shaft 71 and is inserted and fixed on the positioning ear seat 75.

The gap needs to be greater than the diameter of the wire rope 74, so that the wire rope 74 will be stuck between the end block 72 and the positioning ear seat 75.

[0037] Working principle: This structure is a casting furnace used for hardware casting, wherein the furnace body 1 of the casting furnace is provided with a plurality of furnace openings 11, each furnace opening 11 is provided with a furnace door 2 that can be opened by rotation, and the furnace door 2 is opened and closed based on a door closing assembly 6 and a door stop assembly 7;

[0038] When the furnace door 2 is opened, the hand wheel 66 on the door closing assembly 6 is rotated, and the rotation of the hand wheel 66 can drive the pull rod 63 to move, thereby realizing the rightward movement of the internal threaded sleeve 64 to disengage from the handle 5. By manually pulling the handle 5 to apply an external force to the furnace door 2, the magnet block 73 on the door stopper assembly 7 can be disengaged from the end block 72, and the furnace door 2 can be rotated and opened under its own weight;

[0039] When there is no external force on the furnace door 2, the furnace door 2 is restricted by the door stopper assembly 7 and remains closed. Therefore, when the door closing assembly 6 is started, all the furnace doors 2 can be quickly opened based on the constraint of the door stopper assembly 7, and any furnace door 2 can also be quickly opened separately.

[0040] When closing the furnace door 2, the furnace door 2 is driven to rotate and become upright, and the magnet block 73 is moved by hand to be sucked against the end block 72 to keep the wire rope 74 taut, so as to keep the furnace door 2 upright and closed based on the magnetic force; then the hand wheel 66 is rotated to cause the internal threaded sleeve 64 to be sleeved onto the handle 5. At this time, ordinary external force or air pressure changes in the furnace cannot open the furnace door 2, so as to ensure that the furnace door 2 is closed when the casting furnace is working.

[0041] The embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but not to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may modify the embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present invention, and therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be as set forth in the claims of the present invention.
