Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of metal granulation, in particular to a handheld high-purity indium granulation device. Background Art

[0002] At present, the granulation operation of liquid indium generally uses special granulation equipment or manually pours liquid indium into a crucible, and the liquid indium drips into the cooling unit to form granular indium. Special granulation equipment has a high purchase price and requires regular maintenance, and the production cost is high. The current manual granulation method is generally to place the crucible on a fixed frame fixed on the desktop, or to clamp the crucible with a crucible clamp. If the fixed frame is used, it is not conducive to the staff to adjust the granulation situation in real time during the granulation process. If the crucible is clamped with a crucible clamp, the staff may have the risk of the crucible falling during the clamping process.

[0003] CN202321636831 discloses a crucible tongs for glass discharging, comprising: a tong rod, the tong rod comprising a first tong rod, the middle part of the first tong rod being connected to a second tong rod through a hinge shaft; a clamping portion is provided at one end of the tong rod, and a heat-insulating and anti-slip layer is sleeved at the other end; a heat-insulating protective plate is provided between the hinge shaft and the heat-insulating and anti-slip layer on the tong rod, and a strip groove allowing the tong rod to open and close is provided on the heat-insulating protective plate; the clamping portion matches the shape of the crucible, and the connection between the tong rod and the clamping portion is an arc with the concave side facing the clamping portion; a high-silicon oxide winding tape is wound on the clamping portion. The crucible tongs adopt a scissor-type clamping method. When one-handed operation is adopted, the staff needs to clamp the crucible with force all the time. When adding liquid indium to the crucible, the crucible tongs may become loose, resulting in the risk of the crucible falling.

[0004] CN202123398376 discloses a casting tellurite graphite crucible discharging device, wherein the top of the crucible is connected to a pot cover, the outer side wall of the crucible is fixedly connected to a mounting tube, the inner side wall of the mounting tube is plugged with an arm, the arm includes a plug-in section and a holding section, one end of the holding section is integrally provided with a plug-in section, the outer side wall of the arm is fixedly connected with a protective sleeve, the arm is made of stainless steel and has a hollow structure, the protective sleeve is made of high temperature resistant plastic material, the outer side wall of the protective sleeve is bonded with an anti-slip sleeve and the anti-slip sleeve is made of rubber material, and there are four groups of mounting tubes and arms. The crucible discharging device is to support or transport the crucible by installing an arm on the crucible, and then two staff members each hold two arm rods, but by directly installing the arm on the crucible, the thickness of the crucible will be affected, or the thickness of the crucible needs to be increased, thereby increasing the weight of the crucible, which is not conducive to the staff holding the crucible for granulation.

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: how to design a granulating device with low cost and convenient for manual control by staff. Utility Model Content
