Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric furnaces, and particularly relates to an energy-saving electric furnace. Background Art

[0002] An electric furnace refers to an industrial electric furnace and a household electric furnace that utilize the electrothermal effect for heating.

[0003] During the use of traditional electric furnaces, a large amount of waste gas is generated. The waste gas usually contains a large amount of heat energy. In the prior art, the waste gas generated by the electric furnace is usually introduced into a water tank through a gas pipe by a blower. The waste gas with a large amount of heat energy heats the cooling water to recover the waste heat of the waste gas, and the gas after cooling enters the rest of the waste gas treatment system for treatment.

[0004] Since the water temperature in the water tank becomes higher and higher after being heated by the waste heat of the waste gas, the cooling effect of the water in the water tank on the waste gas of the electric furnace gradually becomes worse, affecting the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an energy-saving electric furnace to improve the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:

[0007] An energy-saving electric furnace includes an electric furnace body. A first gas outlet pipe and a water tank are arranged on the side of the electric furnace body. A heat exchange pipe is arranged in the water tank. A second gas outlet pipe is arranged on the side wall of the water tank. The gas outlet end of the first gas outlet pipe is communicated with the gas inlet end of the heat exchange pipe. The outer wall of the heat exchange pipe is in contact with the liquid in the water tank. The gas outlet end of the heat exchange pipe is arranged at the bottom of the water tank. The waste gas enters the heat exchange pipe through the first gas outlet pipe and then is discharged from the water tank through the second gas outlet pipe. A liquid inlet pipe is arranged at the top of the water tank, and a liquid outlet pipe is arranged at the bottom of the water tank. A first electromagnetic valve and a second electromagnetic valve are respectively arranged on the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe. A temperature sensor is arranged in the water tank, and a control system is arranged outside the water tank. The temperature sensor, the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve are respectively electrically connected with the control system. The temperature sensor controls the opening or closing of the two electromagnetic valves through the control system.

[0008] During the operation of the electric furnace, the waste gas generated is heat-exchanged with the liquid in the water tank through the heat exchange pipe and then discharged from the water tank. The temperature sensor monitors the liquid temperature in the water tank. When the liquid temperature exceeds the maximum threshold, the control system opens the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve, and cold water enters the water tank through the liquid inlet pipe, and the liquid in the water tank is discharged from the water tank through the liquid outlet pipe; when the liquid temperature is lower than the minimum threshold, the control system closes the first electromagnetic valve and the second electromagnetic valve, so that the waste gas and the liquid in the water tank can fully perform heat exchange, improving the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace.

[0009] Optionally, a blower is provided on the outer side of the water tank. The air suction end of the blower is connected to the air outlet end of the first air outlet pipe, and the air outlet end of the blower is connected to the air inlet end of the heat exchange pipe.

[0010] Optionally, the heat exchange pipe is arranged in a serpentine bend in the liquid of the water tank.

[0011] The serpentine bend arrangement of the heat exchange pipe improves the heat exchange between the outer wall of the heat exchange pipe and the liquid in the water tank, thereby improving the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace.

[0012] Optionally, the air outlet end of the heat exchange pipe is arranged vertically downward at the bottom of the water tank.

[0013] The waste gas flows out through the air outlet end of the heat exchange pipe and rises through the liquid to the top of the water tank, and is discharged from the water tank through the second air outlet pipe. After the waste gas leaves the heat exchange pipe, it further exchanges heat with the liquid in the water tank, improving the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace.

[0014] Optionally, one end of the liquid inlet pipe is connected to a faucet, the other end of the liquid inlet pipe extends to the water tank and is communicated with the water tank, one end of the liquid outlet pipe extends to the water tank and is communicated with the water tank, and the other end of the liquid outlet pipe extends into the liquid storage tank.

[0015] Cold water enters the water tank through the liquid inlet pipe, and the heated water flows out of the water tank through the liquid outlet pipe and is stored in the liquid storage tank, improving the fluidity of the liquid in the water tank and further improving the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace.

[0016] Optionally, the temperature sensor detects the temperature of the liquid in the water tank. When the liquid temperature exceeds the set maximum threshold, the control system controls the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve to open, and cold water enters the water tank through the liquid inlet pipe, and hot water enters the liquid storage tank through the liquid outlet pipe for storage; when the liquid temperature is lower than the set minimum threshold, the control system controls the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve to close.

[0017] Controlling the opening or closing of the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve through the temperature sensor facilitates the adjustment of the temperature of the liquid in the water tank and improves the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace.

[0018] Optionally, multiple water tanks are provided, and the multiple water tanks are communicated with each other through the first air outlet pipe.

[0019] The waste gas is cooled by passing through multiple water tanks, further improving the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: The waste gas generated during the operation of the electric furnace is discharged from the water tank after heat exchange with the liquid in the water tank through the heat exchange pipe. The temperature sensor monitors the liquid temperature in the water tank. When the liquid temperature exceeds the maximum threshold, the control system opens the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve, and cold water enters the water tank through the liquid inlet pipe. The liquid in the water tank is discharged from the water tank through the liquid outlet pipe; when the liquid temperature is lower than the minimum threshold, the control system closes the first solenoid valve and the second solenoid valve, enabling the waste gas to fully exchange heat with the liquid in the water tank, thereby improving the heat recovery efficiency of the electric furnace.
