[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The present embodiment discloses a smoke elimination device for vacuum furnace smelting, which is used in conjunction with a smelting device 1. The smelting device 1 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, which are respectively connected to the smoke elimination device to form a circulation loop. The smoke elimination device in the present embodiment includes a smoke elimination filter system 2 and a fan 3 connected in series through a pipeline assembly, and the pipeline assembly includes an outlet pipeline 4 connected between the air outlet of the smelting device 1 and the smoke elimination filter system 2, an inlet pipeline 5 connected between the fan 3 and the air inlet of the smelting device 1, and a series pipeline 6 connected between the smoke elimination filter system 2 and the fan 3, wherein the outlet pipeline 4 and the inlet pipeline 5 are respectively connected with a first valve body 7 for pipeline on-off control and flow control.
[0028] The fan 3 is used to provide the original power for air intake and exhaust. The smoke generated in the smelting equipment 1 enters the smoke elimination and filtration system 2 through the air outlet pipe 4, forms smoke sedimentation, and then enters the fan 3, and finally returns to the smelting equipment 1 through the air intake pipe 5, forming a circulation loop.
[0029] For details, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 The smoke elimination and filtering system 2 includes a condensation smoke eliminator 21, which includes a condensation container shell 211, the interior of the condensation container shell 211 is a cavity, and a cooler 212 is provided in the cavity. The condensation container shell 211 is respectively provided with a smoke inlet 213 and a smoke outlet 214, and the bottom of the condensation container shell 211 is connected to a powder collecting tank 216 through a conical pipe 215, and the conical pipe 215 is connected to a second valve body 2151 for controlling its on and off. In addition, a visual window 217 for observing the internal state of the powder collecting tank 216 is also provided. When smoke enters the cavity of the condensation smoke eliminator 21, the hot smoke collides with the cooler 212 and settles, and falls into the powder collecting tank 216. The staff can understand the amount of powder in the powder collecting tank 216 by observing the visual window 217 and perform regular processing.
[0030] Exemplarily, the cooler 212 may adopt a water cooling structure, such as a water cooling grid, and the water inlet and outlet pipes of the water cooling grid are fixedly connected to the top cover of the condensation container shell 211.
[0031] In order to facilitate the processing of the powder in the powder collecting tank 216, the powder collecting tank 216 is detachably connected to the conical pipe 215. Specifically, a collecting pipe 218 is provided at the top of the powder collecting tank 216, and the collecting pipe 218 is connected to the conical pipe 215 through a flange or a clamp. It is known to those skilled in the art that vacuum-sealed powder collection can reduce dust explosion. In order to ensure the vacuum state in the powder collecting tank 216 during disassembly, the collecting pipe 218 is connected to the third valve body 2181. After the operation is completed, the second valve body 2151 of the conical pipe 215 is closed first, and then the third valve body 2181 of the collecting pipe 218 is closed, and the collecting pipe 218 is detached from the conical pipe 215 to perform powder hardening treatment.
[0032] In some preferred embodiments, the condensing smoke eliminators 21 are provided in two or more sets to enhance the smoke absorption effect. The condensing smoke eliminators 21 are connected in parallel, and the specific number can be set according to actual needs.
[0033] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 The smoke filtration system 2 also includes a filter element smoke eliminator 22 connected to the smoke outlet 214 of the condensing smoke eliminator 21, and the filter element smoke eliminator 22 includes a filter container shell 221, the interior of the filter container shell 221 is a cavity, and a filter element 222 is arranged in the cavity. Consistent with the structure of the condensing container shell 211, the filter container shell 221 is also provided with a smoke inlet 213 and a smoke outlet 214, and the bottom of the filter container shell 221 is also connected to a powder collecting tank 216 through a conical pipe 215. When smoke enters the cavity of the filter element smoke eliminator 22, the dust in the smoke is adsorbed on the filter element 222, and some smoke particles settle in the powder collecting tank 216. The structure of the powder collecting tank 216 is consistent with that in the condensing smoke eliminator 21, and will not be repeated here. Exemplarily, the filter element 222 can adopt a non-woven filter element structure or a metal filter element structure with tiny filter holes.
[0034] When the device continues to work, a large amount of dust will be adsorbed on the filter element 222, thereby affecting the smoke elimination effect and increasing the risk of ultrafine powder explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly blow away the dust on the filter element 222. In this embodiment, the filter element smoke eliminator 22 further includes a blowing mechanism, which includes an inert gas buffer bag 223. The inert gas buffer bag 223 is provided with a plurality of groups of air nozzles 224. The air nozzles 224 pass through the filter container housing 221 and face the filter element 222 for blowing the filter element 222. The inert gas buffer bag 223 can be fixedly connected to the filter container housing 221, or it can be fixed to the support table by a bracket. The gas buffer bag belongs to the prior art, and its structure is not described here.
[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 2 The filter element smoke eliminator 22 also includes a first pressure transmitter 225 connected to the front end pipeline (exhaust pipeline 4) of the condensing smoke eliminator 21 and a second pressure transmitter 226 connected to the rear end pipeline of the filter element smoke eliminator 22, and a first pressure gauge 227 connected to the tapered pipe 215 of the filter element smoke eliminator 22. The first pressure transmitter 225 and the second pressure transmitter 226 are used to determine the timing of dust purging. When the value of the second pressure transmitter 226 is higher than 1.2 to 1.5 times the value of the first pressure transmitter 225, the solenoid valve of the gas buffer bag is automatically opened to perform a spot spray purge on the filter element 222. The first pressure gauge 227 is used to detect the pressure in the cavity of the filter container. When the pressure value is higher than the pressure value of the smelting equipment 1 by 1.2 to 1.5 times, it is necessary to stop the purge action and replace the filter element 222. The first pressure gauge 227 is preferably an electric contact pressure gauge.
[0036] In some embodiments, the filter element smoke eliminator 22 is provided in two or more sets to enhance the smoke absorption effect. The filter element smoke eliminators 22 are connected in parallel, and the specific number can be set according to actual needs.
[0037] Combination Figure 7 In some preferred embodiments, the smoke filtration system 2 further includes a flame detector 23 and a fire extinguishing system 24. The flame detector 23 is connected to the filter container housing 221. The fire extinguishing system 24 is connected to the filter container housing 221 through a gas pipeline 25. The fire extinguishing system 24 includes a fire extinguishing container connected to the gas pipeline 25. The gas pipeline 25 is connected with a pneumatic valve 251 for controlling the on and off of the fire extinguishing container and a second pressure gauge 252 for detecting the internal pressure of the fire extinguishing container. When the flame detector 23 detects dust explosion in the filter container cavity, the pneumatic valve 251 of the fire extinguishing system 24 will be controlled by the control system to start, and the flame retardant will be sprayed to extinguish the fire. The contents in the fire extinguishing container mainly include NaCl, graphite, quicklime, and argon, and the fire extinguishing container has a certain pressure. Under the action of pressure, the fire extinguishing substance is sprayed into the filter container cavity.
[0038] See again Figure 1 In this embodiment, the smoke elimination device also includes an explosion-proof control cabinet 8, which is provided with an air inlet and an air delivery port. The smoke elimination filter system 2 is placed in the explosion-proof control cabinet 8. The explosion-proof control cabinet 8 can not only integrate the distribution of the electric control, but also prevent other personnel from accidentally touching the valves or switches of the smoke elimination filter system 2. At the same time, it can also play the role of explosion buffer. When the smoke elimination filter system 2 has a dust explosion, the explosion-proof control cabinet 8 made of explosion-proof grade materials can play a buffering role. Furthermore, the explosion-proof control cabinet 8 is provided with an openable and closable door 81 to facilitate the installation and maintenance of internal accessories, and is provided with a ventilation grille 82 and a ventilation fan 83 to ensure the cleanliness of the internal air.
[0039] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the connection between the shell and the pipeline, as well as the connection between the pipelines are all detachable connection structures, and hook flanges, clamps and other connection structures can be used, and sealing structures such as sealing rings need to be installed at the connections to ensure the vacuum or inert gas atmosphere in the system.
[0040] During the actual operation, the smoke is mainly generated by the heating of the metal material in the crucible in the smelting equipment 1. With the continuous smelting, the smelting equipment 1 generates a large amount of smoke. Due to the suction of the rear-end fan 3, the original power of air intake and exhaust is formed. The smoke enters the condensation smoke eliminator 21 through the outlet pipe 4, forming the first smoke precipitation, and then enters the filter element smoke eliminator 22, forming the second smoke precipitation, and then enters the fan 3. After being discharged by the fan 3, it finally returns to the smelting equipment 1 through the intake pipe 5, forming a circulation process.
[0041] The smoke elimination device for vacuum furnace smelting provided in this embodiment can assist the smelting process of the vacuum system, and effectively ensure the continuity of the smelting process without destroying the atmosphere of the vacuum chamber. The smoke elimination and filtering system 2 can effectively ensure the adsorption of dust in the smoke by setting a two-stage smoke elimination structure of a condensing smoke eliminator 21 and a filter element smoke eliminator 22. By respectively setting a powder collection tank 216 and a visual window 217 in the condensing smoke eliminator 21 and the filter element smoke eliminator 22, the settled dust can be collected and processed in time. Furthermore, by setting a fire extinguishing system 24 and a flame detector 23, the occurrence of fire can be effectively detected, and fire extinguishing measures can be taken in time to ensure safe production.
