[0002] In the production of aluminum alloy melting and casting, most of the current melting and casting lines are composed of three parts: a melting furnace + a holding furnace + a casting machine. Between the melting furnace and the holding furnace, a pouring chute is needed to realize the transfer of furnace charge. The pouring chute is mainly composed of a steel structure, a high-temperature resistant lining, etc. Since the depth of the pouring chute is only about 40CM, during the pouring process of up to 1-2 hours, once the chute is blocked or the furnace eye of the melting furnace leaks aluminum, the furnace charge will overflow from the chute, resulting in scalding incidents. In severe cases, it will cause major production safety accidents. The outflow of high-temperature aluminum liquid will damage the surrounding equipment and facilities, and even cause a fire. Furthermore, it will lead to the shutdown of its production line. In the past, during the pouring operation, a special person was needed to be responsible for monitoring. Often, due to other work, the personnel could not monitor the whole process, could not handle the danger in time, and irreversible accidents occurred. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed Embodiments

[0020] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, a device for preventing leakage of a pouring chute of a smelting furnace is disclosed, which includes a pouring chute 1 and a laser detector 2 for detecting the liquid level height in the pouring chute 1. A first electromagnetic gate valve 3 is installed at the discharging end of the pouring chute 1, and a second electromagnetic gate valve 4 is installed at the emergency discharging port of the pouring chute 1; the first electromagnetic gate valve 3 and the second electromagnetic gate valve 4 have the same structure. According to the liquid level height in the pouring chute 1 detected by the laser detector 2 in real time and compared with a set value, it is determined whether to open or close the first electromagnetic gate valve 3 and the second electromagnetic gate valve 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the first electromagnetic gate valve 3 includes a fixed bracket 301 installed on the pouring chute 1, a telescopic cylinder 302 fixedly installed on the fixed bracket 301, and a gate plate 304 connected to the lower end of the telescopic cylinder 302. Specifically, the fixed bracket 301 includes support columns fixed on both side edges of the pouring chute 1 and a top plate installed on the top plate of the support columns.

[0022] In this embodiment, a guide sleeve is installed on the top plate of the fixed bracket 301, and a directional rod 303 adapted to the guide sleeve is vertically connected to the gate plate 304. In this embodiment, the telescopic cylinder 302 is a cylinder installed on the top plate of the fixed bracket 301, and a cylinder solenoid valve 306 for controlling the cylinder is also installed on the fixed bracket 301.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a sealing and heat-insulating layer 305 is installed outside the gate plate 304, and the material of the sealing and heat-insulating layer 305 is silica cotton; specifically, a silica cotton structure for sealing is installed at the contact position between the gate plate 304 and the inner wall of the pouring chute 1.

[0024] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0025] The laser detector 2 is installed above the pouring chute 1, and the liquid level height during normal pouring is set. When the liquid level height exceeds the set liquid level height, a signal is fed back to the control module to realize the detection of the liquid level height in the pouring chute 1. A discharging outlet is designed on the side of the original straight-through chute, and a gate plate is designed and installed. The gate plate is linked with the cylinder and is controlled by the cylinder solenoid valve. After receiving the signal, the gate plate at the discharging end can be automatically opened, and the gate plate at the emergency discharging port can be automatically closed synchronously. Both gate plates are made of a cylinder and a steel plate, and the cylinder is controlled by the cylinder solenoid valve. To avoid the problem that the gate plate cannot be closely attached to the inside of the chute after descending and the furnace charge cannot be completely blocked, silica cotton is placed on the gate plate.

[0026] As Figure 4As shown in the figure, connect the laser controller, digital display controller, cylinder solenoid valve, cylinder gate plate, etc. to achieve automatic control. The principle is that when the actual liquid level exceeds the set maximum liquid level of the laser detector during the pouring process, the laser detector transmits a signal to the module, and the module transmits the abnormal signal to the cylinder solenoid valve. The cylinder solenoid valve controls the cylinder gate plate. Solenoid valve 2 opens the gate plate at the emergency discharge port, and at the same time, solenoid valve 1 closes the upper gate plate at the discharge end, so as to quickly discharge the furnace charge into the emergency slag box through the emergency discharge port; after the abnormal situation is handled, when the liquid level returns below the set maximum liquid level, solenoid valve 2 closes the gate plate at the emergency discharge port, and at the same time, solenoid valve 1 opens the upper gate plate at the discharge end to achieve normal pouring operation.

[0027] The above embodiments only describe the preferred mode of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present utility model. Without departing from the design spirit of the present utility model, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present utility model.
