[0024] On the upper side of the rear end of the outer layer 3 of the storage container, a mounting seat 7 is fixedly installed. At the rear end of the mounting seat 7, a control panel is fixedly installed. On the side end of the mounting seat 7, a driving motor 8 is fixedly installed. On the outer transmission shaft part of the driving motor 8, a first transmission gear 9 is fixedly installed. On the side end of the first transmission gear 9, a second transmission gear 10 is meshed and connected. In the middle of the second transmission gear 10, a rotating shaft rod 11 is fixedly installed. And the rotating shaft rod 11 is rotationally connected to the front side of the upper end of the mounting seat 7 through a rotating shaft. On the upper end of the inner layer 2 of the storage container, a sealing top cover 12 for sealing the upper opening of the inner layer 2 of the storage container is adhesively and movably connected. At the joint between the upper opening of the inner layer 2 of the storage container and the bottom of the sealing top cover 12, a sealing ring is adhesively connected, so that the upper opening of the inner layer 2 of the storage container and the bottom of the sealing top cover 12 are kept in close contact and sealed through the sealing ring. The rear end of the sealing top cover 12 is fixedly installed on the outer curved surface of the front end of the rotating shaft rod 11.

[0025] Working principle: During use, this utility model controls the activation of the drive motor 8 through the control panel. When the drive motor 8 is activated, it drives the first transmission gear 9 to rotate. When the first transmission gear 9 rotates, it meshes with and drives the second transmission gear 10 to rotate. When the second transmission gear 10 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft rod 11 to rotate. When the rotating shaft rod 11 rotates, it drives the sealing top cover 12 to swing open. When the sealing top cover 12 swings open, the molten aluminum to be stored is discharged into the inner layer 2 of the storage container. When the molten aluminum is discharged into the inner layer 2 of the storage container, the control panel is used to control the drive motor 8 to rotate in the reverse direction. When the drive motor 8 rotates in the reverse direction, it drives the sealing top cover 12 to swing and close the upper end of the inner layer 2 of the storage container in sequence, so that the upper opening of the inner layer 2 of the storage container is blocked and sealed by the sealing top cover 12, preventing external dust and impurities from entering the inner layer 2 of the storage container and contaminating the molten aluminum during storage. At the same time, the air inside the inner layer 2 of the storage container is discharged through the air extraction port 5, and external inert gas is discharged into the inner layer 2 of the storage container through the air inlet 4, thereby reducing the air inside the inner layer 2 of the storage container and keeping the inner layer 2 of the storage container in a relatively dry and oxygen-free environment. When the inner layer 2 of the storage container is in a relatively dry and oxygen-free environment, it can prevent the oxidation of the molten aluminum. At the same time, the inert gas can also play a certain heat insulation role to further stabilize the internal temperature, thus achieving the effect of preventing the oxidation of the molten aluminum while storing the molten aluminum;

[0026] At the same time, control the activation of the electric heater 15. When the electric heater 15 is activated, it heats inside the heating tank 14 through the electric heating tube 16. When the electric heating tube 16 heats inside the heating tank 14, the inner layer 2 of the storage container is heated through the electric heating tube 16, so that the molten aluminum can be heated in the inner layer 2 of the storage container. The pressure inside the inner layer 2 of the storage container can be observed through the pressure monitoring gauge 13, thus achieving the heating of the molten aluminum while storing the molten aluminum and preventing the molten aluminum from being extremely easy to solidify. Finally, the molten aluminum stored inside the inner layer 2 of the storage container can be discharged through the liquid discharge port 6 for use.
