Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum slag feed hoppers, and particularly relates to an improved aluminum slag feed hopper. Background Art
[0002] At present, during the smelting process of a tin smelting electric furnace, the return aluminum slag is mainly poured directly through the feed inlet at the top of the furnace. Although the aluminum slag feeding work can be completed quickly, this feeding method has many drawbacks: First, the operator needs to stand on the top of the furnace and operate close to the electrode during feeding. The high voltage needs to be stopped during the feeding process, and the feeding time per shift is as long as one hour, which will greatly reduce the effective smelting time of the electric furnace; Second, when the furnace top cover is opened for feeding, high-temperature flue gas will spray out from the feed inlet, causing burns and scalds to the operators; Third, it will cause unorganized emission of the electric furnace flue gas.
[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, a standard conical hopper was tried to complete the aluminum slag feeding work. However, if there are sparks in the aluminum slag, it may cause the explosion of aluminum slag dust during pouring, posing a serious safety hazard to the operators.
[0004] Therefore, how to design an aluminum slag feed hopper that can effectively reduce the risk of burns and scalds and can discharge smoke in an organized manner is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The utility model provides an improved aluminum slag feed hopper to solve the technical problems that the existing aluminum slag feed hopper reduces the effective smelting time of the electric furnace and is prone to burn or scald the operators.
[0006] The technical solution of the utility model to solve the above technical problems is as follows: an improved aluminum slag feed hopper, comprising: a first hopper and a second hopper.
[0007] The large-area opening end of the first hopper is arranged upward, and one side surface thereof is a first inclined surface that slopes downward from top to bottom towards its center direction. The first inclined surface is located below the large-area opening end of the first hopper; the large-area opening end of the second hopper is arranged upward, and its large-area opening end is fixed and communicated with the small-area opening end of the first hopper. One side surface of the second hopper corresponding to the lower part of the first inclined surface is a second inclined surface that slopes downward from top to bottom towards its center direction. The second inclined surface is located below the large-area opening end of the second hopper and its inclination angle is greater than that of the first inclined surface.
[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0009] 1. First, a first inclined surface is arranged below the large-area opening end of the first hopper. Since the large-area opening end of the second hopper is fixed and connected to the small-area end of the first hopper, the aluminum dross entering the first hopper can be slowly introduced into the second hopper, enabling the poured powdered aluminum dross to slide in slowly and smoothly without clogging inside the hopper. Then, a second inclined surface is arranged below the large-area opening end of the second hopper. Since the inclination angle of the second inclined surface is greater than that of the first inclined surface, it can play a buffering role in the sliding of the poured powdered aluminum dross, effectively preventing aluminum dross from raising dust and reducing the aluminum dross dust concentration inside the hopper.
[0010] 2. The structural layout of the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface can arrange the large-area opening end of the first hopper and the small-area opening end of the second hopper in a staggered manner, thus avoiding the direct ejection of high-temperature flue gas from the large-area opening end of the first hopper, preventing burns to operators, and extending the effective melting time.
[0011] On the basis of the above technical solutions, the present utility model can be further improved as follows.
[0012] Further, the other side surface of the second hopper opposite to the second inclined surface is a third inclined surface that slopes downward in sequence from top to bottom away from the center of the second hopper.
[0013] Further, it further includes a feed grille, and the feed grille is sealed in the large-area opening end of the first hopper.
[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above is that by sealing the feed grille at the large-area opening end of the first hopper, the agglomerated aluminum dross can be blocked, reducing the blockage pressure on the screw feeder.
[0015] Further, the mesh diameter of the feed grille is 40 - 100 mm.
[0016] Further, it further includes a dust-proof baffle. The dust-proof baffle is located inside the first hopper and one side of it is fixed on the inner edge of the large-area opening end of the first hopper. The fixed point where the dust-proof baffle is fixed to the first hopper is point A. The dust-proof baffle is arranged to slope downward in sequence from near point A to far from point A, and there is a feed gap reserved between the lower end of the dust-proof baffle and the first inclined surface.
[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above is that by arranging an inclined dust-proof baffle inside the first hopper, the aluminum dross dust in the second hopper can be blocked, protecting the ecological environment.
[0018] Further, the inclination angle of the dust-proof baffle is 40 - 50°.
[0019] Further, the side surface of the first hopper opposite to the first inclined surface is a trapezoidal surface and the space in its upper part is smaller than that in its lower part.
[0020] Further, the inclination angle of the first inclined surface is 130 to 140°.
[0021] Further, the inclination angle of the second inclined surface is 145 to 160°.
[0022] Further, both the first hopper and the second hopper are made of Q235. Description of the Drawings
