The role of the drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification, enabling people to intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , an embodiment of a waste heat recovery and utilization device for an aluminum alloy melting furnace of the present utility model includes a furnace body 1 and a heat exchange chamber 2 provided on one side of the furnace body 1. A smoke exhaust pipe 3 connected to the heat exchange chamber 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the furnace body 1. A smoke outlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the heat exchange chamber 2 and on the side opposite to the smoke exhaust pipe 3. A plurality of heat exchange pipes 7 are evenly arranged inside the heat exchange chamber 2. A scraper 10 slidably connected to the outside of the heat exchange pipes 7 is provided inside the furnace body 1 and on the side close to the smoke outlet pipe 8. The diameter of the scraper 10 is smaller than the inner diameter of the furnace body 1. An operating rod 9 extending to the outside of the furnace body 1 is fixedly connected to the top of the scraper 10. An operating handle is installed on the side of the operating rod 9 opposite to the scraper 10. The setting of the handle facilitates the operator to hold. A cleaning water inlet pipe 11 is also fixedly connected to the top of the heat exchange chamber 2. A cleaning water discharge pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat exchange chamber 2 and on the side close to the smoke exhaust pipe 3.

[0026] During the smelting process of the aluminum melt, the high-temperature flue gas generated is transported to the inside of the heat exchange chamber 2 through the exhaust pipe 3. When passing through the heat exchange pipe 7, the heat is transferred to the cold water flowing through the heat exchange pipe 7, thereby realizing the heating of the water. In order to keep the heat exchange pipe 7 clean, the scraper 10 can clean the outer surface of the heat exchange pipe 7 under the control of the operating rod 9. At the same time, the cleaning water is introduced into the inside of the heat exchange chamber 2 through the cleaning water inlet pipe 11 for cleaning, and the waste water after cleaning is discharged through the cleaning water discharge pipe 12, then the cleaning work of the heat exchange pipe 7 can be completed. This can prevent the accumulation of dirt and deposits on the heat exchange pipe 7, facilitate keeping the heat exchange pipe 7 clean, and ensure the heat exchange efficiency.

[0027] Water inlet header pipes 4 and water outlet header pipes 5 are respectively arranged at both ends of the heat exchange chamber 2. The water outlet header pipe 5 is close to the furnace body 1. A plurality of branch pipes 6 are equally spaced and fixedly connected to the tops of the water inlet header pipe 4 and the water outlet header pipe 5. Both ends of a plurality of heat exchange pipes 7 are connected to the corresponding branch pipes 6 to form a complete heat exchange circuit.

[0028] Through the water inlet header pipe 4 and the water outlet header pipe 5, cold water is introduced into the heat exchange chamber 2. After passing through the heat exchange pipe 7, it is converted into hot water and discharged through the water outlet header pipe 5 for subsequent use.

[0029] In order to further improve the waste heat recovery utilization rate, a preheating chamber 13 with a hollow structure is arranged outside the furnace body 1, and a heat insulation layer 16 is arranged outside the preheating chamber 13 to reduce the heat loss of the furnace body 1. A water delivery pipe 14 connected to the preheating chamber 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the water outlet header pipe 5, and a drain pipe 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the preheating chamber 13 away from the water delivery pipe 14.

[0030] After introducing part of the heat-exchanged water into the preheating chamber 13, the furnace body 1 can be preheated to shorten the time for the furnace body 1 to reach the working temperature, thereby improving the production efficiency. At the same time, preheating the furnace body 1 helps to reduce the energy consumption at the beginning of smelting and better recover and utilize the waste heat.

[0031] Valves are arranged on the outsides of the cleaning water inlet pipe 11, the cleaning water discharge pipe 12, the water delivery pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15, and the valves are all solenoid valves. The valves can facilitate controlling the on-off states of the cleaning water inlet pipe 11, the cleaning water discharge pipe 12, the water delivery pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15, and are convenient for automatic control.

[0032] A top cover is covered on the top of the furnace body 1 and on one side of the exhaust pipe 3. The opening and closing of the top cover facilitates the opening and closing of the furnace body 1. And a lifting ring is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover, and the lifting ring is used for conveniently hoisting and fixing the top cover during the installation and maintenance processes.

[0033] Working principle: During the smelting process of the aluminum melt, the high-temperature flue gas generated is transported to the interior of the heat exchange chamber 2 through the exhaust pipe 3. When passing through the heat exchange pipe 7, it transfers heat to the cold water flowing through the heat exchange pipe 7, thereby realizing the heating of the water. In order to keep the heat exchange pipe 7 clean, the scraper 10 can clean the outer surface of the heat exchange pipe 7 under the control of the operating rod 9. At the same time, the cleaning water is introduced into the interior of the heat exchange chamber 2 through the cleaning water inlet pipe 11 for cleaning, and the waste water after cleaning is discharged through the cleaning water drain pipe 12 to complete the cleaning work of the heat exchange pipe 7, which can prevent the accumulation of dirt and sediments on the heat exchange pipe 7, is conducive to keeping the heat exchange pipe 7 clean, and ensures the heat exchange efficiency;

[0034] And part of the heat-exchanged water is introduced into the preheating chamber 13 to preheat the furnace body 1, so as to shorten the time for the furnace body 1 to reach the working temperature, thereby improving the production efficiency. At the same time, preheating the furnace body 1 helps to reduce the energy consumption at the beginning of smelting and better recover and utilize the waste heat.
