Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal production, and more specifically, to a siphon device. Background Art
[0002] To achieve the mutual connection of liquids between two containers, a siphon system is generally used in the industry. When the siphon system is used for the first time, the containers need to be filled first, and then it is installed between the two containers to achieve the mutual connection of metal liquids. However, the filling of materials during the first use is often time-consuming and laborious, and the structure is relatively complex.
[0003] As shown in the prior art Figure 1 Both ends of the siphon tube 2 open upward. In this way, when the siphon tube 2 leaves the liquid, the liquid in the siphon tube 2 will not flow out, and repeated self-conduction can be achieved.
[0004] However, during the first use, since the siphon tube has a curved structure, it is very difficult for manual labor to fill the pipeline with materials. And during actual use, only the filling of materials during the first use is required. After the siphon system is normally used, due to continuous production, the siphon tube is always in a working state. Therefore, the siphon tube generally does not leave the metal liquid surface, so repeated self-conduction is generally not required. At the same time, during the diversion process of the metal solution, due to the high temperature, the siphon expands and generates displacement, and there is no corresponding structure to deal with it, resulting in the siphon tube being easily deformed and having a low service life.
[0005] In summary, how to provide a siphon device that can quickly fill materials and avoid the siphon tube 2 being damaged by high heat deformation is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art at present. Summary of the Utility Model
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a siphon device, which is suitable for the diversion of metal solutions, facilitates the initial filling of materials, and avoids deformation caused by high temperature.
[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0008] A siphon device, comprising:
[0009] A housing;
[0010] A siphon tube, which is formed by connecting a horizontal tube and two vertical tubes to form a U-shaped structure.

The two vertical tubes pass through the first displacement hole to extend out of the housing;
[0011] A heating component, which is installed inside the housing and is used to heat the siphon tube.
[0012] Further, for the present utility model, the first displacement hole is a strip-shaped structure extending along the axis direction of the horizontal pipe, and the width of the first displacement hole is greater than the diameter of the vertical pipe.
[0013] Further, for the present utility model, first flange plates are installed on both of the vertical pipes, and the first flange plates are all slidably installed in the first displacement hole.
[0014] Further, for the present utility model, the first displacement hole is circular and there are two of them. The two vertical pipes respectively pass through the two first displacement holes and extend out of the housing, and the diameters of the two first displacement holes are greater than the diameter of the vertical pipe.
[0015] Further, for the present utility model, handles are installed on both sides of the housing.
[0016] Further, for the present utility model, the handle is used for supporting the housing when the housing is turned over;
[0017] When filling the tank, the handle is used for supporting the housing.
[0018] Further, for the present utility model, the handle is circular ring-shaped, and the area of the handle is greater than the projected area of the side surface of the housing.
[0019] Further, for the present utility model, the handle includes a supporting portion and two rolling portions, and forms a U-shaped structure. The two rolling portions adopt arc structures with opposite openings, and the supporting portion is a straight-line structure.
[0020] Further, for the present utility model, the heating assembly includes a plurality of heating pipes. Second flange plates are installed at the ends of the heating pipes. Second displacement holes are provided on the housing, and the second flange plates are slidably installed in the second displacement holes.
[0021] Further, for the present utility model, the heating pipes adopt a curved structure along the path of the siphon pipe and are arranged closely against both sides of the siphon pipe.
[0022] The siphon device provided by the present utility model, when in use, installs the siphon tube in the housing. The siphon tube is connected by a horizontal tube and two vertical tubes and forms a U-shaped structure. During the filling before the initial use, the whole housing is turned over, that is, the two vertical tubes are turned to the upward position, and then filling is carried out. At this time, the filling is extremely convenient, and it is very easy to fill the siphon tube with metal solution, reducing the filling difficulty and greatly improving the filling efficiency. After the metal solution cools, it will solidify. At this time, the whole housing is turned over again, and the two vertical tubes are respectively inserted into the two metal solution tanks to be diverted.

[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0035] The core of the present utility model is to provide a siphon device, which is applicable to the diversion of metal solutions, facilitates the initial charging of the tank, and avoids deformation caused by high temperature.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-8 , a siphon device, including a housing 1, a siphon tube 2 and a heating component. The siphon tube 2 is formed by connecting a horizontal tube 202 and two vertical tubes 201 to form a U - shaped structure. The horizontal tube 202 is located inside the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a first displacement hole 203, and the two vertical tubes 201 extend out of the housing 1 through the first displacement hole 203. The heating component is used to heat the siphon tube 2.
[0037] It should be noted that the present embodiment of the present utility model does not limit the shape of the first displacement hole 203. In some embodiments, the first displacement hole 203 can adopt a circular structure and there are two of them. The two vertical tubes 201 respectively pass through the two first displacement holes 203 and extend out of the housing 1. The diameters of the two first displacement holes 203 are larger than the diameter of the vertical tube 201. By using the first displacement holes 203 with larger diameters, the installation of the siphon tube 2 can be achieved, and it can also ensure that the vertical tube 201 has space for expansion and deformation.
[0038] In other embodiments, the first displacement hole 203 is a strip - shaped structure extending along the axis direction of the horizontal tube 202. The width of the first displacement hole 203 is larger than the diameter of the vertical tube 201. That is to say, through the strip - shaped first displacement hole 203, both of the two vertical tubes 201 pass through the first displacement hole 203, ensuring that the vertical tube 201 has space for expansion and deformation.
[0039] In addition, the embodiment of the present utility model does not limit the connection method between the siphon tube 2 and the housing 1. In some embodiments, a mounting plate is provided on the housing 1, and the siphon tube 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate to realize the connection between the siphon tube 2 and the housing 1.
[0040] In other embodiments, a flange is installed on the siphon tube 2 and is bolted to the housing 1 through the flange to realize the connection between the siphon tube 2 and the housing 1.
[0041] In other embodiments, a chute is provided inside the housing 1, and a mounting plate is slidably installed in the chute. The siphon tube 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. Under the action of the chute, the siphon tube 2 can be displaced to adjust the length of the vertical tube 201 extending out of the housing 1.
[0042] Specifically, at least one bolt is threadedly installed on the housing 1. One end of the bolt extends out of the housing, and the other end of the bolt is rotatably connected to the siphon tube 2. Specifically, a groove is provided on the siphon tube 2, and a protrusion is provided at the position of the bolt facing the housing. A boss for limiting the protrusion is provided on the groove. When the protrusion is placed inside the groove, the rotation connection between the bolt and the groove is realized. By adjusting the extended length of the bolt, the position of the siphon tube 2 is adjusted to adjust the length of the vertical tube 201 extending out of the housing 1.
[0043] During use, the siphon tube 2 is installed inside the housing 1, and the siphon tube 2 is connected by a horizontal tube 202 and two vertical tubes 201 to form a U-shaped structure. When filling before the first use, the whole housing 1 is turned over, that is, the two vertical tubes 201 are turned upwards, and then filling is carried out. At this time, filling is extremely convenient, and it is very easy to fill the siphon tube 2 with molten metal, reducing the filling difficulty and greatly improving the filling efficiency. After the molten metal cools and solidifies, the whole housing 1 is turned over again, and the two vertical tubes 201 are respectively inserted into two metal solution tanks to be diverted. The heating component is used to heat the siphon tube 2. By heating the siphon tube 2 through the heating component, the molten metal inside flows again. At this time, the installation of the siphon tube 2 is completed. And a first displacement hole 203 is provided on the housing. The two vertical tubes 201 extend out of the housing 1 through the first displacement hole 203. The function of the first displacement hole 203 can avoid the damage of the siphon tube 2 caused by the fixed connection between the siphon tube 2 and the housing 1 after expansion. The structure is simple and practical, greatly reducing the difficulty for the first filling, improving the efficiency, and at the same time being able to avoid deformation due to displacement expansion caused by high temperature, and improving the service life of the device.
[0044] In order to better fix the siphon 2, in some embodiments, first flange plates 204 are installed on both vertical pipes 201. The first flange plates 204 are slidably installed in the first displacement holes 203. That is to say, through the sliding of the first flange plates 204 in the first displacement holes 203, the siphon 2 can withstand the deformation and expansion caused by high temperature. At the same time, the first flange plates 204 can increase the firmness of the installation of the siphon 2.
[0045] It should be noted that the connection method between the first flange plate 204 and the vertical pipe 201 in the embodiments of the present invention is not limited. In some embodiments, the first flange plate 204 is arc-shaped, that is, by adopting a partial fixed connection with the vertical pipe 201, the influence of the radial deformation and expansion of the vertical pipe 201 is reduced.
[0046] In other embodiments, the first flange plate 204 and the vertical pipe 201 are spot-welded, and the diameter of the first flange plate 204 is larger than the diameter of the vertical pipe 201.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 , in order to facilitate the handling of the housing 1 and the entire device, in some embodiments, handles 3 are installed on both sides of the housing 1. That is to say, through the handles 3, the device can be easily carried, which is convenient for use.
[0048] It should be noted that the specific structure of the handle 3 in the embodiments of the present invention is not limited. In some embodiments, the handle 3 can adopt a rod-shaped structure, which is welded to the housing 1. When handling, grasping the rod-shaped handle 3 can facilitate handling.
[0049] In other embodiments, the handle 3 can adopt an ear shape, which can not only facilitate manual handling by personnel, but also can be lifted and moved by a lifting device.
[0050] In other embodiments, in order to support the housing 1 by the handle 3 when filling the tank, the handle 3 includes a support portion 302 and two rolling portions 301, and forms a U-shaped structure. The two rolling portions 301 adopt an arc structure with opposite openings, and the support portion 302 is a straight structure. That is to say, when filling, the support portion 302 of the handle 3 plays a supporting role to support the device and keep it stable, which is convenient for filling.
[0051] At the same time, in the above embodiments, the handle 3 can also be used to support the housing 1 when it is flipped. Through the two rolling portions 301 with arc-shaped structures, after filling and cooling are completed, by pushing the device, under the action of the rolling portions 301, the device can be quickly flipped so as to place the device in the use position for handling and hoisting.
[0052] In some other embodiments, the handle 3 can adopt an oval structure, which can also achieve the purpose of supporting the housing 1 and facilitating flipping.
[0053] In some other embodiments, the handle 3 is circular. The area of the handle 3 is larger than the projected area of the side of the housing 1. That is to say, the handle 3 is larger than the housing 1, which is convenient for flipping the device under the support of the handle 3. And with a circular structure, by pushing it to roll, it can greatly facilitate the movement of the device and reduce the use of auxiliary moving devices.
[0054] When the handle 3 adopts a circular structure, by installing components such as a cross-shaped connecting rod on the handle 3 to fix it to the housing 1, an operation ring with a diameter smaller than that of the handle 3 can also be added to facilitate the flipping operation by workers.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 7 Heat exchange Figure 8 In order to reduce the influence caused by the expansion of the heating tube 401 during the heating process, in some embodiments, the heating assembly includes a plurality of heating tubes 401. A second flange 403 is installed at the end of the heating tube 401. A second displacement hole 402 is provided on the housing 1. The second flange 403 is slidably installed in the second displacement hole 402. That is to say, the heating tube 401 is connected to the housing 1 through a plurality of second flanges 403, and the function of the heating tube 401 having displacement is realized by sliding with a plurality of second displacement holes 402 on the housing 1, so as to reduce the influence caused by the expansion of the heating tube 401 during the heating process.
[0056] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present utility model, the heating tube 401 is arranged in the same shape as the siphon tube 2, that is, the heating tube 401 is arranged along the path of the siphon tube 2, so as to improve its heating effect.
[0057] In addition, in the embodiments of the present utility model, the heating tube 401 can adopt a structure that is bent along the path of the siphon tube 2, that is, it is closely attached to both sides of the siphon tube 2, so as to improve its heating effect.
[0058] That is to say, the key point of the embodiment of the present utility model is that the siphon tube 2 is installed in the housing 1, and the siphon tube 2 is communicated by a horizontal tube 202 and two vertical tubes 201 to form a U-shaped structure. During the filling before the initial use, the whole housing 1 is turned over, that is, the two vertical tubes 201 are turned to the upward position, and then filling is carried out. At this time, the filling is extremely convenient, and it is very easy to fill the siphon tube 2 with the metal solution, reducing the filling difficulty and greatly improving the filling efficiency. After the metal solution cools and solidifies, the whole housing 1 is turned over again, and the two vertical tubes 201 are respectively inserted into the two metal solution tanks to be diverted. The heating component is used to heat the siphon tube 2. By heating the siphon tube 2 through the heating component, the metal solution inside flows again. At this time, the installation of the siphon tube 2 is completed. And the body is provided with a first displacement hole 203, and the two vertical tubes 201 extend out of the housing 1 through the first displacement hole 203. The function of the first displacement hole 203 can avoid the damage of the siphon tube 2 caused by the fixed connection between the siphon tube 2 and the housing 1 after expansion. The structure is simple and practical, greatly reducing the difficulty for the initial tank filling, improving the efficiency, and at the same time being able to avoid deformation caused by displacement expansion due to high temperature, and improving the service life of the device.
