[0046] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the present invention is described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiment of the present invention. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0047] Embodiment 1:

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, a mobile radioactive metal smelting system of the present invention comprises a smelting module 1, an exhaust gas treatment module 2, and a steel ingot transfer module 3. With the smelting module 1 as the center, the exhaust gas treatment module 2 and the steel ingot transfer module 3 are distributed around the smelting module 1, which is convenient for layout and reasonable use of space. In this embodiment, the exhaust gas treatment module 2 and the steel ingot transfer module 3 are located on opposite sides of the smelting module 1.

[0049] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the smelting module 1 includes a smelting layer box 11, a smelting furnace 12, and a feeding device for feeding materials into the smelting furnace 12. The smelting layer box 11 is in the form of a container, and the smelting furnace 12 is arranged in the smelting layer box 11. The feeding device includes a scrap metal barrel 13, a scrap metal transfer vehicle 14, and a feeding crane module 15; the scrap metal barrel 13 is placed on the scrap metal transfer vehicle 14, and the feeding crane module 15 transfers the scrap metal barrel 13 to the top of the smelting furnace 12. Among them, the feeding crane module 15 includes a smelting crane box 151 and a smelting crane 152. The smelting crane box 151 is arranged above the smelting module 1, the bottom of the smelting crane box 151 is connected to the upper part of the smelting module 1, and the smelting crane 152 is hoisted on the upper part of the smelting crane box 151. The smelting crane box 151 is a container-type structure. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the smelting crane box 151 is open, and the top end of the smelting layer box 11 is open. The bottom opening of the smelting crane box 151 is connected with the top opening of the smelting layer box 11 to form a closed box. A track parallel to the length direction of the smelting crane box 151 is set on the upper part of the smelting crane box 151. In this embodiment, the track is made of C-shaped steel, the opening of the C-shaped steel is inward, and the C-shaped steel constitutes the top structure of the frame of the smelting crane box 151. The C-shaped steel can be used as a part of the frame of the smelting crane box 151 and as the track of the smelting crane 152, which reduces the weight and complexity of the system. The axial direction of the track of the smelting crane 152 is horizontal and perpendicular to the axial direction of the track of the scrap metal transfer track platform 16. The smelting crane 152 can adopt the existing crane structure.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Fig.11 As shown, an opening is provided on the smelting layer box 11, and a box door 4 is provided at the opening of the smelting layer box 11. In this embodiment, two openings are provided on one side of the smelting layer box 11 connected to the ingot transfer module, and the two openings are used as the entrance and exit of the smelting layer box 11 respectively. Box doors 4 are provided at the entrance and the exit, and the box door 4 can be a rolling door structure. The entrance of the smelting layer box 11 is farther away from the smelting furnace 12 than the exit.

[0051] like Figure 2As shown, the number of the scrap metal barrels 13 is one or more, and the number of the scrap metal barrels 13 can be selected according to the scrap metal processing needs. In this embodiment, the number of the scrap metal barrels 13 is multiple. The scrap metal barrels 13 are placed on the scrap metal transfer vehicle 14, and a scrap metal transfer track platform 16 for cooperating with the scrap metal transfer vehicle 14 is provided in the smelting layer box 11. The upper part of the scrap metal transfer track platform 16 is provided with a track that cooperates with the wheels of the metal transfer vehicle 14. Further, the scrap metal transfer track platform 16 extends from the entrance of the smelting layer box 11 to the inside of the smelting layer box 11, and the axial direction of the track of the scrap metal transfer track platform 16 is parallel to the width direction of the smelting layer box 11.

[0052] like Figure 3-Figure 6As shown, further, the scrap metal barrel 13 includes a barrel housing 131, a barrel bottom plate 132, a hanging rope 133, and a bottom plate locking mechanism 134 for adjusting the opening and closing of the barrel bottom plate 132. The top and bottom ends of the barrel housing 131 are both open, and the hanging rope 133 is arranged at the upper part of the barrel housing 131. In order to facilitate lifting, the hanging rope 133 can be a rigid hanging rope. There are two barrel bottom plates 132, and the two barrel bottom plates 132 are in a split structure. One end of the barrel bottom plate 132 is hinged to the corresponding side of the barrel housing 131, and the other end is a free end. The free end of the barrel bottom plate 132 is butt-jointed with the free end of another barrel housing 131. A limiting portion for limiting the barrel bottom plate 132 in a horizontal position is provided in the barrel housing 131, which can prevent the barrel bottom plate 132 from continuing to move upward after docking, so that it can ensure that the barrel bottom plate 132 plays the role of a bottom plate for closing the barrel housing 131 after being in a horizontal position. A conical guide portion 1312 that gradually shrinks from top to bottom is integrally formed on the inner circumference of the barrel housing 131, which can make the scrap metal material tilt smoothly along the guide portion 1312 to avoid material accumulation in the barrel. The bottom of the guide portion 1312 is a limiting portion for limiting the barrel bottom plate 132 in a horizontal position, and the guide portion 1312 is located above the barrel bottom plate 132. The inner diameter of the bottom end of the guide portion 1312 is smaller than the outer diameter of the barrel bottom plate 132, which can prevent the barrel bottom plate 132 from continuing to rotate upward after rotating upward to the horizontal direction. Guide posts are fixedly arranged on opposite sides of the barrel bottom plate 132 near the free end, and arc-shaped slide grooves 1311 for sliding with the guide posts are arranged at the lower part of the corresponding side of the barrel housing 131. The radius of the circumference of the arc-shaped slide groove 1311 is consistent with the distance between the guide posts and the hinged end of the barrel bottom plate 132. The bottom plate locking mechanism 134 includes a bottom support plate 1341 and a pressure rod 1342 for supporting the bottom of the two barrel bottom plates 132. The number of the bottom plate locking mechanism 134 is two groups, and the two groups of bottom plate locking mechanisms 134 are respectively arranged on the corresponding sides of the slide groove 1311. One axial side of the bottom support plate 1341 is located inside the barrel housing 131, and the other axial side of the bottom support plate 1341 is located outside the barrel housing 131. The outer side of the bottom support plate 1341 is hinged to the outer side of the barrel housing 131, and the length of the bottom support plate 1341 outside the hinge point is less than the length inside. A pressing portion 1343 is integrally formed on the upper part of the pressure rod 1342, and the upper part of the pressing portion 1343 is hinged to the mounting plate fixedly arranged on the barrel shell 131, and the bottom of the pressing portion 1343 is hinged to the side of the bottom supporting plate 1341 located outside the barrel shell 131, and the hinge point of the upper part of the pressing portion 1343 is farther away from the barrel shell 131 than the hinge point of the bottom supporting plate 1341. In this way, when the pressure rod 1342 rotates outward to make the bottom of the pressing portion 1343 separate from the bottom supporting plate 1341, the part of the bottom supporting plate 1341 located in the barrel shell 131 rotates downward under the action of gravity, and the barrel bottom plate 132 loses the supporting effect of the bottom supporting plate 1341 and rotates downward, thereby opening the barrel shell 131 and allowing the scrap metal material to fall smoothly.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, a slag bucket 182 and a slag scooping net 181 are also provided in the smelting layer box 11 . The slag bucket 182 and the slag scooping net 181 are located on one side of the smelting furnace 12 , and the slag bucket 182 and the slag scooping net 181 are close to the shielding partition 111 .

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 11-13 As shown, the ingot transfer module 3 is used to cast the molten metal from the smelting furnace 12 into the ingot to form the ingot and transfer it. The ingot transfer module 3 is located on the side of the smelting module 1 that is different from the tail gas treatment module 2. In this embodiment, the ingot transfer module 3 is located on the side of the smelting module 1 that is opposite to the tail gas treatment module 2. The ingot transfer module 3 includes an ingot transfer box 31, an ingot transfer vehicle 32, and an ingot tray 33. The ingot transfer box 31 is in the form of a container, and the top of the ingot transfer box 31 is closed. The ingot transfer vehicle 32 and the ingot tray 33 are both located in the ingot transfer box 31. The ingot transfer module 3 also includes an ingot transfer platform 34, one end of which extends to the opening of the smelting layer box 11, which can be the outlet of the smelting layer box 11. The ingot transfer platform 34 includes a straight track platform 341 fixedly arranged in the ingot transfer box 31, and a flip track platform 342 rotatably connected to one side of the straight track platform 341. The flip track platform 342 is a disc structure, and the radial direction of the flip track platform 342 is horizontally arranged, and the axial direction of the flip track platform 342 is vertically arranged. Further, tracks are arranged on both the straight track platform 341 and the flip track platform 342, and the side of the track of the straight track platform 341 close to the flip track platform 342 extends to the corresponding side of the straight track platform 341 and is connected to the outside. The axial sides of the track on the flip track platform 342 extend to the outside of the corresponding side of the flip track platform 342. In this way, the flip track platform 342 can be rotated so that the track on it docks with the track of the straight track platform 341 to form a smooth track. The ingot transfer platform also includes an ingot transfer platform 343, which is arranged in the smelting layer box 11 and is located on the metal liquid casting side of the smelting furnace 12. Further, one axial end of the ingot transfer platform 343 extends to the outlet of the smelting furnace 12, and a track is arranged on the ingot transfer platform 343. One end of the track of the ingot transfer platform 343 close to the outlet of the smelting furnace 12 extends to the outer side of the corresponding end of the ingot transfer platform 343, so that the flip track platform 342 can rotate so that the track on it can dock with the track of the ingot transfer platform 343 to form a smooth track. The flip track platform 342 is located between the straight track platform 341 and the ingot transfer platform 343, and is used to realize the connection between the two, saving space. The ingot transfer vehicle 32 cooperates with the tracks on the straight track platform 341, the flip track platform 342, and the ingot transfer platform 343.

[0055] like Fig.11 , Fig.12 As shown, the ingot tray 33 is located on the side of the flip track platform 342 away from the smelting module 1, and the ingot transfer box 31 is provided with an ingot discharge port 311 on the side opposite to the smelting module 1, and the ingot tray 33 is located at the ingot discharge port 311.

A scrap metal outer track platform 17 is provided on the side of the steel ingot transfer box 31 that is connected to the scrap metal transfer track platform 16, and the scrap metal outer track platform 17 is docked with the scrap metal transfer track platform 16. A through opening is provided at the corresponding part of the steel ingot transfer box 31 to the scrap metal outer track platform 17, which is opposite to and connected to the entrance of the smelting layer box 11, and the box door 4 at the entrance of the smelting layer box 11 is installed at the through opening of the steel ingot transfer box 31. The box doors 4 at the entrance and exit of the smelting layer box 11 are installed at the corresponding through openings of the steel ingot transfer box 31 in order to correspond to the feeding side and to install the box door 4 on the outside of the smelting layer box 11. For the sake of clarity of description, the box door 4 located at the entrance of the smelting layer box 11 is called a scrap metal material door 41 , and the box door 4 located at the exit of the smelting layer box 11 is called a steel ingot material door 42 .

[0070] Embodiment 2

[0071] like Figure 1-Figure 13 As shown, a method for using a mobile radioactive metal smelting system, using a mobile radioactive metal smelting system of embodiment 1, the method for using includes the following steps:

[0072] a. Assemble and connect the smelting module 1, the tail gas treatment module 2 and the steel ingot transfer module 3.

[0073] In this step, according to actual needs, the dressing room 5, the accessory module 6, the control room module 7, the smelting module 1, the tail gas treatment module 2, and the ingot transfer module 3 can also be assembled and connected, and the gas, water, and circuit pipelines between the modules can be connected. For convenience, the modules can be installed in advance and transported to the site in the form of containers to connect the gas, water, and circuit pipelines.

[0074] b. Open the door of the smelting layer box 11, transport the radioactive scrap metal into the smelting layer box 11, close the door, and feed the scrap metal into the feeding port of the smelting furnace 12 through the feeding device. After the feeding is completed, start the smelting furnace 12 to smelt the scrap metal.

[0075] The specific process is as follows: radioactive scrap metal is placed in the scrap metal barrel 13, the scrap metal material door 41 is opened, the scrap metal barrel 13 is placed on the scrap metal transfer vehicle 14 by a forklift, the scrap metal transfer vehicle 14 runs along the scrap metal outer track platform 17 to the scrap metal transfer track platform 16 in the smelting layer box 11, and the scrap metal material door 41 is closed, so that the smelting layer box 11 is a closed space. The smelting crane 15 suspends the scrap metal barrel 13 above the smelting furnace 12, opens the upper cover of the smelting furnace 12, and the scrap metal barrel 13 falls above the smelting furnace 12. The bottom plate locking mechanism 134 of the scrap metal barrel 13 is opened to open the barrel bottom plate 132, and the radioactive scrap metal material falls into the smelting furnace 12, and the smelting furnace 12 is started to melt the radioactive scrap metal into molten metal. Among them, the infusible impurities in the molten metal are scooped by the slag net 181 hoisted by the smelting crane 152 and placed in the slag bucket 182.

[0076] The structure of the scrap metal barrel 13 does not require manual work during the entire process of feeding the scrap metal barrel 13 into the smelting furnace 12. When the scrap metal barrel 13 passes downward through the smelting furnace 12, the pressure rod 1342 rotates when it touches the furnace mouth, so that the pressing part on the pressure rod 1342 is separated from the bottom support plate 1341, and the barrel bottom plate 132 is opened, so that the radioactive scrap metal material falls smoothly into the smelting furnace 12.

[0077] c. The molten metal smelted in the smelting furnace 12 is cast into the steel ingot transfer module 3. The molten metal smelted in the smelting furnace 12 is cast into an ingot through the steel ingot transfer module 3 to form a steel ingot, and then transferred out.

[0078] The specific process is as follows: after the slag removal is completed, the furnace body of the smelting furnace 12 is tilted, and the pure molten metal flows along the guide port of the smelting furnace 12 into the ingot transfer car 32, and the ingot material door 42 is opened. After the ingot transfer car 32 moves to the flip track platform 342, the ingot material door 42 is closed, and the flip track platform 342 is rotated to change the transportation direction of the ingot transfer car 32, and the ingot transfer car 32 is moved to the straight track platform 341 of the ingot transfer platform 34. After the molten metal is cooled and becomes an ingot, the ingot transfer car 32 flips the hopper, demolds the ingot onto the ingot tray 33, and then the ingot tray 33 and the ingot are transported to the designated location for storage through the ingot discharge port 311 by a forklift.

[0079] In the present invention, the steel ingot transfer vehicle 32 includes a moving frame and a tipping hopper rotatably connected to the moving frame.

[0080] d. The flue gas generated by smelting scrap metal in the smelting module 1 is purified by the tail gas treatment module 2 so that it meets the emission standards before being discharged.

[0081] The specific process is as follows: the tail gas generated during the smelting of radioactive scrap metal and the air in the smelting area enter the tail gas treatment module 2 through the pipeline, and flow through the bag filter 23, the air duct 26, the purification filter assembly 24, and the fan 25 in sequence to be discharged into the on-site tail gas pipeline, or directly discharged after passing the test. The radioactive waste generated by the filtration is collected in the filter bag of the bag filter 23 and the primary filter element 242 and the high-efficiency filter element 243 in the purification filter assembly 24.

[0082] When the filter bag and filter element need to be replaced, the filter bag of the bag filter 23 and the primary filter element 242 and the high-efficiency filter element 243 can be hoisted to the exhaust gas treatment waste barrel (30) by the exhaust gas treatment crane 272, and then replaced with new filter bags, primary filter elements (38) and high-efficiency filter elements (39). In the present invention, at least one exhaust gas treatment waste barrel 28 is also included, and the exhaust gas treatment waste barrel 28 can be placed on the smelting crane 152, and the exhaust gas treatment waste barrel 28 can be transported to the outside of the system by the cooperation of the smelting crane 152 and the purification track platform 22.

[0083] In the present invention, during the smelting process of radioactive scrap metal, the operator does not enter the smelting area throughout the whole process, and will not cause exposure to personnel, thereby reducing the radioactive risk of the operator. The present invention realizes the rapid assembly, disassembly and movement of the system through innovative modular design, and significantly improves the flexibility and mobility of the system. Automated control and remote operation reduce the risk of operators being exposed to radioactive substances and enhance the safety of operation. The multi-stage tail gas treatment system effectively purifies the exhaust gas generated during the smelting process and improves environmental safety. The design of the system achieves operational safety and stability, and ensures the health of the operator and the reliable operation of the system through radiation protection measures such as the dressing room 5, the shielding partition 111, and the upper shielding plate 273. In addition, the standardized and modular design simplifies the maintenance and transportation process, reduces costs, and improves smelting efficiency and production capacity. Overall, the environmental friendliness and economic benefits created by the present invention are significant, providing a safe, efficient, flexible and economical solution for the field of radioactive metal smelting, meeting the requirements of modern green manufacturing and environmental protection.

[0084] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all 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.
