Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crucible transfer, in particular to a crucible flipping device. Background Art

[0002] Crucibles made of high-temperature resistant materials such as quartz and ceramics have high heat resistance, so they are commonly used as heating containers and can be used in fields such as laboratories and industries.

[0003] When the crucible is used in the industrial field, it is usually used to melt iron blocks into molten iron, and then the molten iron is poured into a mold to realize the production of iron products. Specifically, raw materials of different shapes and sizes are put into a crucible with a larger size (an electromagnetic heating mechanism is sleeved outside this crucible), and after heat treatment, the iron raw materials are melted into molten iron; the molten iron is diverted from the larger-sized crucible to a smaller-sized crucible, and the staff lifts and transfers the smaller-sized crucible, and transports the molten iron from the smaller-sized crucible to the mold. The molten iron cools and solidifies in the mold, thereby realizing the production of iron products. There are many types of the above-mentioned larger-sized crucibles, such as the crucible for melting iron raw materials disclosed in a Chinese patent with the publication number CN118241310A. There are fewer types of the above-mentioned smaller-sized crucibles, and their shapes and sizes vary little. For example, the crucible disclosed in a Chinese patent with the publication number CN108884591B includes a crucible with a wall made of a matrix material of tungsten or molybdenum or a material based on tungsten or molybdenum, characterized in that a barrier layer is at least partially arranged outside and / or in the wall, and the barrier layer is made of a metal material having a higher affinity for carbon and / or oxygen than the matrix material.

[0004] Currently, generally, the staff holds the rod body installed on the crucible with both hands and uses the lever principle to lift the crucible. When the crucible moves to the side of the mold, the staff needs to rotate the rod body to force the crucible to rotate to an inclined state, and the molten iron flows out of the crucible and into the mold.

[0005] Although the above-mentioned method of the staff lifting and transferring the crucible can facilitate the production of iron products, however, during each day's production, the staff repeatedly lifts and transfers the crucible filled with molten iron back and forth. The crucible itself has a large mass, and the overall mass increases when filled with molten iron, ultimately resulting in discomfort or even pain in the staff's arms. During the process of transferring the crucible, it is not necessary for the staff to accurately control the position of the crucible, but when the crucible is tilted to output molten iron, the staff needs to control the height and position of the crucible relative to the mold, as well as control the tilt angle of the crucible. In this process, the staff needs to consume a large amount of physical strength. Summary of the Utility Model

[0026] The following is a further description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] As described in the background art, in the production of iron products, crucibles of relatively small size are commonly used to hold molten iron, and workers need to lift and transfer the crucibles of relatively small size. However, such operations have a large labor intensity and are extremely likely to cause discomfort to the workers' arms, backs, etc. To solve this problem, this embodiment makes improvements on the basis of the existing crucible and provides a new technical solution.

[0029] The existing crucible includes a crucible body 1 and a first rod 3. The crucible body 1 is made of a high-temperature resistant material such as quartz, ceramics, etc. into a cylindrical structure. The first rod 3 is inclined and fixedly arranged on the side of the crucible body 1. Workers hold the first rod 3 to lift and transfer the crucible body 1.

[0030] As Figure 1 、 Figure 8 shown, when improving the above-mentioned crucible, the length of the first rod 3 is shortened, and the cut part is set as the second rod 4. The second rod 4 is detachably arranged on the side of the first rod 3 away from the crucible body 1, and the first rod 3 is arranged through the top of the support frame 2. Under the action of the support frame 2, workers operate the first rod 3 and the second rod 4 to lift the crucible body 1 by using the principle of leverage, and realize the transfer of the crucible body 1 by pushing the support frame 2 to move. In order to make the molten iron flow out of the crucible body 1 when the crucible body 1 moves to the side of the mold, a support pipe 5 is movably arranged at the position where the first rod 3 and the second rod 4 are joined. A rotating rod 6 is inserted at the end of the second rod 4 away from the first rod 3. The rotating rod 6 is set as a T-shaped structure. One hand of the worker holds the support pipe 5, and the other hand holds the end of the rotating rod 6. Therefore, the support pipe 5 is movably sleeved on the rod body. Therefore, under the action of the rotating rod 6, the first rod 3 and the second rod 4 can be controlled to rotate, forcing the crucible body 1 to rotate to a suitable inclination angle, and then making the molten iron flow out of the crucible body 1 and fall into the mold.

[0031] As Figure 4As shown, in order to stably connect the first rod body 3 and the second rod body 4 relatively, polygonal grooves 32 and polygonal columns 41 are respectively provided at the end portions of the first rod body 3 and the second rod body 4 that are close to each other. The polygonal column 41 is inserted into the polygonal groove 32 through a fastening bolt 43. With the cooperation of the polygonal groove 32 and the polygonal column 41, the first rod body 3 and the second rod body 4 are connected relatively statically, and it is convenient to disassemble according to requirements.

[0032] As Figure 4 、 Figure 6 shown, in order to facilitate sleeving the supporting pipe 5 on the first rod body 3 and the second rod body 4 and prevent its outer diameter from being too large, annular grooves 31 are provided at one end of the arc-shaped sides of the first rod body 3 and the second rod body 4 that are close to each other. Both ends of the supporting pipe 5 are sleeved on the two annular grooves 31 through bearings 51. This kind of setting can meet the installation of the supporting pipe 5 and the bearings 51, and at the same time prevent the supporting pipe 5 from protruding or protruding too much from the first rod body 3 and the second rod body 4, providing support for the staff to hold.

[0033] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, in order to transfer the crucible body 1, the support frame 2 includes two wheel bodies 21, two support plates 22 and a clamping plate group. The clamping plate group is sleeved on the first rod body 3. The two support plates 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the clamping plate group, and washers 23 can be provided between the clamping plate group and the support plates 22. The two wheel bodies 21 are respectively hinged at the lower ends of the two support plates 22. The staff can apply a force to the first rod body 3 and the second rod body 4 to push the support frame 2 to move, so as to transfer the crucible body 1.

[0034] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 shown, in order not to affect the flipping of the crucible body 1, the clamping plate group includes a first clamping plate 24 and a second clamping plate 25. The first clamping plate 24 and the second clamping plate 25 are hinged and connected, and the other end is fixedly arranged in the middle of the tops of the two support plates 22. A plurality of arc-shaped grooves 27 are provided on the inner side walls of the first clamping plate 24 and the second clamping plate 25, and rollers 26 are provided at each arc-shaped groove 27. The rollers 26 are in contact with the first rod body 3. Under the action of the rollers 26, the resistance between the rod body and the clamping plate is reduced, which facilitates the rotation of the first rod body 3 relative to the clamping plate group. That is, on the premise of ensuring the stable installation of the first rod body 3 and the support frame 2, the flipping of the crucible body 1 is realized. In order to stably place the first rod body 3 relative to the clamping plate group, a retaining disc 33 is provided on the first rod body 3, and the retaining disc 33 is in contact with the top surface of the clamping plate group.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] As Figure 4 、 Figure 7As shown in the figure, on the basis of Embodiment 1, in order to stably set the rotating rod 6 on the second rod body 4 to adapt to different users, a slot 42 is provided on the end face of the second rod body 4 away from the first rod body 3. A convex post is provided on the side wall of the slot 42, and a bolt is threadedly penetrated through the end. A clamping groove 61 and a limiting groove 62 are provided on the side wall of the rotating rod 6. Both the clamping groove 61 and the limiting groove 62 are arranged along the length direction of the rotating rod 6. The length of the clamping groove 61 is equal to the length of the rotating rod 6, and the length of the limiting groove 62 is less than the length of the rotating rod 6. The end of the rotating rod 6 is inserted into the slot 42, the convex post is located in the clamping groove 61, and the end of the bolt extends into the limiting groove 62 and presses against the rotating rod 6. With this setting, the bolt can be rotated according to requirements to release the restriction of the rotating rod 6 and adjust the length of the rotating rod 6 protruding from the second rod body 4, which provides convenience for adapting to the working staff with different arm lengths. With the cooperation of the convex post and the clamping groove 61, the rotating rod 6 and the second rod body 4 can rotate synchronously, which provides convenience for flipping the crucible body 1.

[0037] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, in addition, a through hole 44 is provided at the end of the slot 42, and a fastening bolt 43 is penetrated through the through hole 44. The end of the fastening bolt 43 is threadedly inserted into the bottom of the polygonal groove 32.

[0038] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
