DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a centrally arranged component at the same time.
[0023] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0024] The melting device of sintered NdFeB permanent magnet material uses the Lorentz force generated by electromagnetic induction to suspend the metal, allowing it to be melted in a container-free environment, avoiding crucible contamination and improving material purity. It is mainly used in high-end electronic devices, medical equipment, laboratory research and high-performance magnetic material production. NdFeB permanent magnet material is a rare earth permanent magnet material composed of neodymium, iron, boron and other trace elements. It has an extremely high magnetic energy product and is one of the permanent magnet materials with the best performance at present.
[0025] refer to Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a smelting device for sintered NdFeB permanent magnet material, comprising: a smelting pot 1, a smelting component 2 and a feeding component 3; The smelting assembly 2 includes a heating assembly 210 disposed inside the smelting tank 1, and a stirring assembly 220 is disposed at the bottom of the heating assembly 210; the stirring assembly 220 includes at least two connecting plates 229, and an electromagnetic induction coil 230 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 229, and at least two connecting plates 229 can move toward or away from each other; The feed assembly 3 includes a push assembly 310 arranged at the top of the smelting pot 1, and a recovery assembly 320 is arranged on the side of the push assembly 310; the recovery assembly 320 is used to recover the neodymium vapor and to convert the energy of the neodymium vapor into kinetic energy for driving the two connecting plates 229 to move away from each other.
[0026] The recovery component 320 includes a recovery part, a condensation part and a material return part. The recovery part is connected to the condensation part pipeline, and the bottom end of the condensation part is fixedly connected to the material return part. The stirring assembly 220 includes a piston part, a driving part and an adjusting part. The bottom end of the piston part is fixedly connected to the driving part, and the bottom end of the driving part is fixedly connected to the adjusting part.
[0027] The smelting component 2 is used for smelting the NdFeB alloy block; the heating component 210 is mainly used for induction heating of the NdFeB alloy block; the stirring component 220 is used for electromagnetic stirring of the NdFeB alloy block in the heating component 210; the feeding component 3 is mainly used for feeding the smelting pot 1; the pushing component 310 is used to put the NdFeB alloy block material into the smelting pot 211; the recovery component 320 is used to recycle the neodymium vapor generated by heating the NdFeB alloy block; The NdFeB alloy block is placed into the pushing component 310, and then the pushing component 310 pushes the NdFeB alloy block into the heating component 210. Then the heating component 210 induction heats the NdFeB alloy block through the alternating magnetic field, thereby starting smelting. Neodymium vapor is generated during the smelting process, and then the neodymium vapor begins to move upward into the recovery part of the recovery component 320. The recovery component 320 drives the piston part of the stirring component 220 to move downward through the neodymium vapor, so that the piston part drives the driving part to move upward. Then the driving part drives the electromagnetic induction coil to slide toward the inner wall of the molybdenum cylinder through the adjustment part, thereby expanding the range and stirring the iron-boron alloy block being smelted. At the same time, the recovery component 320 condenses the collected neodymium vapor to convert it into neodymium metal solid and adds it to the heating component 210 for smelting together with the iron-boron alloy block.
[0028] During the smelting process, the NdFeB alloy block is located in the pushing assembly 310, which transports the NdFeB alloy block to the heating assembly 210. The heating assembly 210 heats the NdFeB alloy block by induction heating through an alternating magnetic field, thereby melting the NdFeB alloy block into a melt. At the same time, the stirring assembly 220 stirs the FeB alloy block being melted through an alternating magnetic field. The neodymium vapor generated during the smelting process enters the recovery assembly 320. The recovery assembly 320 expands the stirring range of the stirring assembly 220 through the neodymium vapor, thereby solving the problem that the temperature cannot be evenly distributed during the smelting process, thereby reducing the smelting effect. On the other hand, the recovery assembly 320 condenses the neodymium vapor to convert it into neodymium metal solid to be melted together with the FeB alloy block, thereby solving the problem that the neodymium vapor cannot be recycled and utilized, thereby reducing resource utilization.
[0029] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the smelting assembly 2 includes a heating assembly 210, and the stirring assembly 220 is used to stir the NdFeB alloy block in the heating assembly 210; The heating assembly 210 includes: a smelting pot 211 and an induction heating coil 212 . The smelting pot 211 is disposed on the top of the molybdenum cylinder 227 , and the induction heating coil 212 is disposed on the surface of the smelting pot 211 .
[0030] During the smelting process of the NdFeB alloy block, the induction heating coil 212 is connected to an external power source. The external power source is turned on to control the induction heating coil 212 to start operating, so that the induction heating coil 212 starts to generate an alternating magnetic field to heat the smelting pot 211. Then, the smelting pot 211 transfers the heat to the NdFeB alloy block inside it for smelting. At the same time, cold water is injected into the water cooling jacket 5 to prevent the smelting high temperature from damaging the smelting pot 1.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the recovery part includes: an air intake pipe 321 and an air cylinder 322, the air intake pipe 321 is fixedly connected to the top of the smelting tank 1, and the air intake pipe 321 is communicated with the air cylinder 322; The condensation section includes: a recovery pipe 324 and a buffer box 325. The side of the gas cylinder 322 is fixedly connected to the recovery pipe 324, and the recovery pipe 324 is communicated with the buffer box 325. The bottom of the buffer box 325 is fixedly connected with a return pipe 326. A condenser pipe 328 is arranged below the return pipe 326. The multiple condenser pipes 328 are interconnected through pipelines. Neodymium vapor can be effectively guided to the condensation section during the smelting process, and the cold air in the condensation section flows into the condenser pipe 328. The neodymium vapor is quickly condensed into solid neodymium metal through low-temperature cooling, thereby greatly improving the recovery efficiency of neodymium metal. After condensation, the neodymium metal flows into the recovery tank 327 through the return pipe 326, which ensures condensation while avoiding waste of resources. The neodymium metal solid in the recovery tank 327 is finally reintroduced into the smelting pot 211 to participate in the smelting process of the alloy, forming a closed-loop cycle, which greatly improves the resource utilization rate of neodymium. Compared with the existing smelting device, the condensation section optimizes the gas condensation process, which not only enables the efficient recovery of neodymium vapor, but also effectively reduces the volatilization loss of neodymium, thereby improving the environmental performance of the equipment. The design of the condensation section ensures the temperature uniformity of the neodymium iron boron alloy block during the smelting process, while avoiding the waste of neodymium vapor, providing sufficient neodymium metal support for the subsequent smelting process, thereby improving the overall smelting efficiency and product quality.
[0032] The material return section includes: a recovery tank 327 and a connecting pipe 329 . The interior of the recovery tank 327 is fixedly connected to a condensing pipe 328 . The bottom end of the recovery tank 327 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 329 . The connecting pipe 329 is communicated with the smelting tank 1 .
[0033] During the smelting process of the NdFeB alloy block, the condenser 328 is connected to an external air cooler, and the neodymium vapor generated by it flows upward into the air inlet pipe 321, and then flows into the air cylinder 322 through the air inlet pipe 321 to push the piston rod 323 downward to squeeze the spring, causing the spring to contract. When the piston rod 323 moves downward to a certain point in the air cylinder 322, its neodymium vapor flows into the buffer box 325 through the recovery pipe 324 for buffering, and then the neodymium vapor slowly flows into the recovery tank 327 through the buffer box 325, and then the external air cooler is started to fill the condenser 328 with low-temperature cold air, so that the neodymium vapor is condensed into neodymium metal solid in the recovery tank 327, and then the one-way valve 4 is opened to allow the neodymium metal solid in the recovery tank 327 to flow into the smelting pot 211 through the connecting pipe 329 to be smelted together with the iron-boron alloy block.
[0034] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the piston part includes: a piston rod 323 and a first rack plate 221, the interior of the gas cylinder 322 is slidably connected with the piston rod 323, and the bottom end of the piston rod 323 is fixedly connected with the first rack plate 221; The driving part includes: a rotating gear 222, a second rack plate 223 and an adjusting plate 224, the first rack plate 221 is meshed with the rotating gear 222, the rotating gear 222 is meshed with the second rack plate 223, and the bottom end of the second rack plate 223 is fixedly connected with the adjusting plate 224; The adjusting part comprises a slip ring rod 225, a fixed rod 226, a rotating plate 228 and a molybdenum tube 227. The top of the adjusting plate 224 is fixedly connected to the slip ring rod 225, the inside of the slip ring rod 225 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 226, the top of the fixed rod 226 is fixedly connected to the molybdenum tube 227, the two sides of the top of the slip ring rod 225 are fixedly connected to the rotating plates 228, and the side of the rotating plate 228 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 229; the sliding connection between the slip ring rod 225 and the fixed rod 226 in the adjusting part enables the adjusting plate 224 to push the electromagnetic induction coil 230 to slide toward the inner wall of the molybdenum tube 227 under precise control, thereby ensuring the best match between the intensity of the magnetic field and the heating efficiency. Compared with traditional technology, this adjustment mechanism can effectively avoid the problem of uneven temperature distribution and ensure that the alloy block will not have unstable performance due to local overheating or overcooling during the smelting process. In addition, the design of the adjustment part also ensures the stability and efficiency of the entire equipment during long-term operation, avoiding the wear or position displacement of mechanical parts due to high smelting temperature, which will cause performance degradation.
[0035] When the piston rod 323 presses the spring downward, the electromagnetic induction coil 230 is connected to an external power source, and the external power source is turned on. The external power source controls the electromagnetic induction coil 230 to operate, so that the electromagnetic induction coil 230 generates an interactive magnetic field to stir the NdFeB alloy block being melted in the smelting pot 211, and the piston rod 323 drives the first rack plate 221 to move downward, so that the first rack plate 221 drives the rotating gear 222 to rotate through meshing, so that the second rotating gear 222 drives the second rack plate 223 to move upward through meshing, so that the second rack plate 223 drives the adjusting plate 224 to move upward, and then the adjusting plate 224 pushes the slip ring rod 225 upward to slide on the fixed rod 226, so that the slip ring rod 225 pushes the rotating plate 228 upward to rotate on the connecting plate 229, and then the rotating plate 228 drives the connecting plate 229 to move in reverse, thereby pushing the electromagnetic induction coil 230 to slide toward the inner wall of the molybdenum cylinder 227, thereby expanding the stirring range.
[0036] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the feeding assembly 3 includes a pushing assembly 310, and the recycling assembly 320 is used for recycling the pushing assembly 310; The pushing assembly 310 includes: a feed pipe 311 and a pushing rod 313. The feed pipe 311 is fixedly connected to the top of the smelting tank 1. A telescopic cylinder 312 is arranged above the feed pipe 311. The telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 312 is fixedly connected to the pushing rod 313. A delivery pipe 314 is fixedly connected to the top of the feed pipe 311. A delivery box 315 is slidably connected inside the delivery pipe 314. The bottom end of the delivery box 315 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 316.
[0037] When feeding, the NdFeB alloy block is manually placed into the feed box 315, and then the telescopic cylinder 312 is started, so that the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 312 drives the push rod 313, and then the push rod 313 starts to drive the feed box 315 to move in the feed pipe 314. When the feed box 315 moves to the feed port of the feed pipe 311, the NdFeB alloy block in the feed box 315 squeezes the rotating plate 316 through gravity, so that the rotating plate 316 rotates at the bottom end of the feed box 315, so that the NdFeB alloy block slides from the top of the rotating plate 316 into the feed pipe 311, and then enters the smelting pot 211 through the feed pipe 311.
[0038] Working principle: Before smelting the NdFeB alloy block, the NdFeB alloy block is located in the feed box 315, and the smelting tank 1, smelting pot 211, induction heating coil 212, adjustment plate 224, telescopic cylinder 312, recovery tank 327, feed pipe 311, air inlet pipe 321, recovery pipe 324, return pipe 326, buffer box 325, check valve 4, water cooling jacket 5 and connecting pipe 329 are in the initial state; the electromagnetic induction coil 230 is slidably connected to the molybdenum cylinder 227. The slip ring rod 225 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 226, and the slip ring rod 225 and the connecting plate 229 are rotatably connected to the rotating plate 228; the first rack plate 221 is meshed with the rotating gear 222, and the rotating gear 222 is meshed with the second rack plate 223; the piston rod 323 is slidably connected to the air cylinder 322; the piston rod 323 is elastically connected to the spring; the feed box 315 is slidably connected to the feed pipe 314; the feed box 315 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 316.
[0039] During the smelting process of the NdFeB alloy block, the telescopic cylinder 312 is started, so that the output end of the telescopic cylinder 312 drives the feed box 315 to slide in the feed pipe 314 toward the feed pipe 311 through the push rod 313, so that the feed box 315 is located at the inlet of the feed pipe 311, and then the NdFeB alloy block pushes the rotating plate 316 downward to rotate downward by its own gravity, and the NdFeB alloy block begins to slide from the rotating plate 316 into the feed pipe 311, and then flows from the feed pipe 311 into the smelting pot 211, and the induction heating coil 212 is operated by controlling the external power supply, so that the induction heating coil 212 begins to generate an alternating magnetic field to heat the smelting pot 211, and at the same time, cold water is injected into the water cooling jacket 5 to prevent the smelting high temperature from damaging the smelting pot 1.
[0040] When the NdFeB alloy block is smelted, the induction heating coil 212 starts to generate an alternating magnetic field to heat the smelting pot 211, so that the NdFeB alloy block in the smelting pot 211 starts to melt into a melt, and then the external power supply is controlled to operate the electromagnetic induction coil 230, so that the electromagnetic induction coil 230 generates an alternating magnetic field to stir the NdFeB alloy block being smelted in the smelting pot 211, and neodymium steam is generated at the same time, and then the neodymium steam flows upward into the air intake pipe 321, and the neodymium steam enters the air cylinder 322 through the air intake pipe 321, and then the neodymium steam pushes the piston rod 323 downward in the air cylinder 322 to move downward, and the piston rod 323 squeezes the spring downward to contract, so that the piston rod 323 drives the first rack plate 221 to move downward, and then the first rack plate 221 drives the rotating gear 222 to rotate through meshing, so that the rotating gear 222 drives the second rack plate 223 to move upward through meshing, and the second rack plate 223 drives the adjustment plate 224 The bottom end of the smelting pot 1 slides upward, so that the adjustment plate 224 pushes the slip ring rod 225 upward to slide on the fixed plate. When the slip ring rod 225 slides, the slip ring rod 225 drives the rotating plate 228 to rotate on the connecting plate 229, and then the rotating plate 228 drives the connecting plate 229 to move in opposite directions, thereby pushing the electromagnetic induction coil 230 to slide toward the inner wall of the molybdenum cylinder 227, thereby expanding the stirring range. When the piston rod 323 moves to a certain place, its neodymium vapor flows into the buffer box 325 through the recovery pipe 324 for buffering, and then the neodymium vapor slowly flows into the recovery tank 327 through the buffer box 325, and then the external air conditioner is started to fill the condenser 328 with low-temperature cold air, so that the neodymium vapor is condensed into neodymium metal solid in the recovery tank 327, and then the one-way valve 4 is opened to allow the neodymium metal solid in the recovery tank 327 to flow into the smelting pot 211 through the connecting pipe 329 to be smelted together with the iron-boron alloy block.
[0041] After the NdFeB alloy block is melted, the melt in the melting pot 211 is discharged to the next process through the discharge pipe 6, and then the telescopic cylinder 312 is closed, so that the telescopic cylinder 312 stops driving the feed box 315 to slide in the feed pipe 314 through the push rod 313, thereby stopping the feeding into the melting pot 211, and turning off the external power supply, so that the induction heating coil 212 and the electromagnetic induction coil 230 stop operating, so that the generated interactive magnetic field disappears, and the heating of the melting pot 211 stops, so that the neodymium vapor can no longer be generated, and the piston rod 323 is pushed in the cylinder 322 to squeeze the spring, and the spring begins to reset through the reset elastic force, so that the spring begins to push the piston rod 323 upward to reset, and the piston rod 323 drives the first rack plate 221 upward to move, so that the first rack plate 221 passes The meshing drives the rotating gear 222 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the rotating gear 222 drives the second rack plate 223 to move downward through the meshing, so that the second rack plate 223 pushes the adjusting plate 224 downward, and the adjusting plate 224 drives the slip ring downward on the fixed rod 226, so that the slip ring rod 225 drives the rotating plate 228 to rotate in the opposite direction on the connecting plate 229, so that the rotating plate 228 drives the electromagnetic induction coil 230 to move toward the fixed rod 226 through the connecting plate 229, so that the electromagnetic induction coil 230 is reset, and at the same time, the external air conditioner is turned off to fill the condenser 328 with low-temperature cold air, so that it can no longer condense the neodymium metal solid, and then the one-way valve 4 is closed, so that the neodymium metal solid in the recovery tank 327 cannot flow into the smelting pot 211 through the connecting pipe 329.
