The outlet end of the exhaust valve 12 is sequentially connected to an inert gas purification box 7 and a recovery box 8 through a connecting pipe. The recovery box 8 is connected to the three-way solenoid valve 13 through a connecting pipe;
[0015] Two partition plates 71 are vertically provided inside the inert gas purification box 7. The inert gas purification box 7 is sequentially partitioned into a first purification cavity 701, a second purification cavity 702, and a third purification cavity 703 from left to right by the partition plates 71. An air supply pipe 72 is provided on the first purification cavity 701, and the end of the air supply pipe 72 penetrates into the first purification cavity 701 and is close to its bottom. A communicating pipe 73 is provided between the first purification cavity 701 and the second purification cavity 702, and the end of the communicating pipe 73 penetrates through the second purification cavity 702 and is close to its bottom. Water and a reaction liquid are respectively accommodated in the first purification cavity 701 and the second purification cavity 702. The ends of the air supply pipe 72 and the communicating pipe 73 are respectively immersed in water and the reaction liquid. A molecular sieve filter 74 is provided at the upper end inside the third purification cavity 703. A gas purity detection device 75 is provided at the outlet of the third purification cavity 703. An exhaust pipe 2 76 is connected to the third purification cavity 703, and a solenoid valve is provided on the exhaust pipe 2 76. A communicating hole 711 is provided at the top of the partition plate 71 between the second purification cavity 702 and the third purification cavity 703. An inert gas sensor 81 for detecting the content of inert gas is provided inside the recovery box 8.
[0016] Further, the ratio of the area of the pressure cavity 102 to the cross-sectional areas of the casting cavity 101 and the liquid inlet cavity 103 is: S pressure cavity / (S casting cavity + S liquid inlet cavity) = 1.5 - 3, which is beneficial to adjusting the accuracy and efficiency of the metal liquid level in the casting cavity 101 and ensuring the safety and stability of the internal structure of the furnace body 1.
[0017] Working principle:
[0018] The furnace body 1 is charged through the liquid inlet chamber 103. Since the pressure chamber 102 is interconnected with the bottom of the casting chamber 101 and the liquid inlet chamber 103, the molten metal flows through the pressure chamber 102 and then enters the casting chamber 101, and the molten metal is processed by the casting mold 2; when the casting mold 2 needs to be replaced, the intake valve 11 is opened and the exhaust valve 12 is closed. The inert gas in the gas storage tank 5 is pumped into the pressure chamber 102 through the delivery pump 6, and a certain pressure is maintained in the pressure chamber 102. The pressure gauge 4 detects the pressure in the pressure chamber 102. After the pressure in the pressure chamber 102 increases, the liquid level inside it drops, and the liquid levels in the casting chamber 101 and the feed chamber 103 rise. After the intake valve 11 is closed, the casting process continues. The liquid level detector 9 detects the liquid level height in the casting chamber 101. When the liquid level in the casting chamber 101 drops to the casting mold 2, the casting process stops. The exhaust valve 12 is opened to discharge the mixed gas in the pressure chamber 102, causing the liquid level in the pressure chamber 102 to rise, and the liquid levels in the casting chamber 101 and the feed chamber 103 to drop, so that the liquid level in the casting chamber 101 drops below the casting mold 2, and then the casting mold 2 is horizontally disassembled, assembled and replaced;
[0019] Before the inert gas enters the intake valve 11, the trace water vapor contained in the inert gas is filtered by the water vapor filter 10 to prevent safety accidents when the inert gas is introduced;
[0020] The mixed gas discharged from the pressure chamber 102 through the exhaust valve 12 enters the water in the first purification chamber 701 through the air delivery pipe 72. The water can filter out the impurities and toxic gases in the mixed gas. The mixed gas preliminarily purified by the first purification chamber 701 is introduced into the reaction liquid in the second purification chamber 702 through the connecting pipe 73. The organic gas in the mixed gas is removed by the reaction liquid. The gas obtained after secondary purification by the second purification chamber 702 is mainly inert gas containing water vapor. The inert gas in the second purification chamber 702 enters the third purification chamber 703 through the connecting hole 711, and the water vapor contained in the inert gas is absorbed by the molecular sieve filter 74. The inert gas in the third purification chamber 703 is recycled to the recycling box 8 and recycled through the control of the three-way solenoid valve 13; the purity of the inert gas filtered by the third purification chamber 703 is detected by the gas purity detection device 75. When the purity of the inert gas filtered by the third purification chamber 703 is low, the exhaust pipe two 76 is opened to discharge the mixed gas with low inert gas purity into the air or for centralized recovery and treatment; the content of the inert gas in the recycling box 8 is detected by the inert gas sensor 81.
[0021] The casting furnace of the horizontally detachable and replaceable continuous casting mold disclosed in this embodiment realizes the horizontal disassembly and replacement of the casting mold 2 by adjusting the pressure in the pressure chamber 102, avoiding the frequent tilting of the holding furnace and being beneficial to maintaining the accuracy of the equipment; the pressure regulating devices are all arranged on the sealing cover plate 3 of the pressure chamber 102, effectively preventing the leakage of inert gas from the feed port, not only avoiding the waste of too much inert gas, but also ensuring the stability of the internal pressure of the pressure chamber 102. The trace water vapor contained in the inert gas is filtered by the water vapor filter 10 to ensure the safety during the horizontal disassembly and replacement of the casting mold 2; the mixed gas discharged from the pressure chamber 102 is purified and filtered by the inert gas purification box 7, and the inert gas can be recovered and recycled, avoiding serious waste caused by the one-time use of the inert gas.
[0022] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
