[0030] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] As Figures 1-3 shown, an energy-saving vacuum smelting furnace includes a smelting assembly 1 and a feeding assembly 2 disposed on one side of the smelting assembly 1.
[0033] The smelting assembly 1 includes a housing 4 supported on the ground by a base 3 and a vacuum inner furnace 5 disposed inside the housing 4. A cavity is formed between the housing 4 and the vacuum inner furnace 5. A connecting pipe 6 is disposed in the cavity. The connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the vacuum inner furnace 5. Both ends of the connecting pipe 6 penetrate through the housing 4 and are respectively fixedly connected to a feeding pipeline 7 and an air pump 15. One end of the feeding pipeline 7 is fixedly connected and communicated with the housing 4 and the vacuum inner furnace 5. The other end of the feeding pipeline 7 is connected to the feeding assembly 2. The air pump 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing 4 through a fixing frame 17. The input end of the air pump 15 is connected to the atmosphere through an air extraction pipe 16.
[0034] When the vacuum inner furnace 5 smelts, the heat generated enters the cavity. The air pump 15 uses the air extraction pipe 16 to extract the normal-temperature gas in the atmosphere into the connecting pipe 6. The gas exchanges heat with the heat in the cavity through the connecting pipe 6. As the air pump 15 continuously sends the gas into the connecting pipe 6, the gas undergoing heat exchange is pushed into the feeding pipeline 7, and can preheat the raw materials in the feeding pipeline 7, thereby reducing the energy loss during the smelting process.
[0035] This device is equipped with a connecting pipe 6 and an air pump 15. By using the air pump 15, the gas in the atmosphere can be extracted into the connecting pipe 6, and heat exchange is carried out in the cavity to heat the gas. Thus, the raw materials in the feeding pipe 7 can be preheated by the heated gas, increasing the smelting efficiency of the raw materials while reducing energy loss.
[0036] As Figure 2 shown, the inner wall of the vacuum inner furnace 5 is fixedly connected with a guide plate 12 through a support rod 13. A mold box 11 is slidably connected in the guide plate 12 through a chute, and multiple heating elements 21 are fixed on the inner wall of the vacuum inner furnace 5. The heating elements 21 can be resistance wires or electric heating plates, etc., and no specific limitation is imposed on them.
[0037] Push the mold box 11 to the deepest part along the chute in the guide plate 12 so that the mold box 11 is located directly below the feeding pipe 7, enabling the feeding pipe 7 to reliably convey the raw materials into the mold box 11, and using the heating elements 21 to heat and smelt the raw materials in the mold box 11.
[0038] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the outer shell 4 and the outer wall of the vacuum inner furnace 5 are rotatably connected with the same sealing door 14.
[0039] As Figure 5 shown, the feeding assembly 2 includes a support frame 18 and a storage tank 19. The storage tank 19 is supported on the ground by the support frame 18. The feeding pipe 7 is fixedly connected and communicated with the bottom of the storage tank 19, and a valve 20 is installed on the feeding pipe 7.
[0040] When feeding is required, open the valve 20 so that the raw materials in the storage tank 19 are conveyed into the mold box 11 through the feeding pipe 7. When the required smelting raw materials are sufficient, close the valve 20 and the sealing door 14 to make the inside of the vacuum inner furnace 5 in a closed environment for smelting operations.
[0041] This device can continuously and controllably supply raw material replenishment to the mold box 11 by setting the storage tank 19 and the valve 20, thus avoiding the time delay and error caused by manual operation and improving the efficiency of the entire smelting process.
[0042] Embodiment 2:
[0043] An energy-saving vacuum smelting furnace. In this embodiment, the following improvements are made on the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figure 2 shown:
[0044] The inner wall of the feeding pipe 7 is rotatably connected with a spiral blade 10 through a rotating shaft 9, and the outer wall of the top of the feeding pipe 7 is fixed with a motor 8 through bolts. The output end of the motor 8 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 9 through a coupling.
[0045] The starting motor 8 drives the rotating shaft 9 to drive the spiral blade 10 to rotate, so that the rotational speed of the spiral blade 10 can be controlled by the motor 8 to adjust the material feeding amount.
[0046] By arranging the motor 8, the rotating shaft 9 and the spiral blade 10, the device can accurately control the conveying amount of raw materials by driving the rotating shaft 9 and the spiral blade 10 to rotate by the motor 8, thereby ensuring the stability of the smelting process and the reliability of the product quality.
[0047] Working principle: When the device is in use, first push the empty mold box 11 symmetrically backward along the guide plate 12 to the deepest position, so that the mold box 11 is located directly below the feeding pipe 7. Then close the sealing door 14 and start the motor 8 to drive the rotating shaft 9 to drive the spiral blade 10 to rotate to convey the raw materials into the mold box 11. Then close the valve 20, and use the sealing door 14 and the valve 20 to seal the vacuum inner furnace 5. Subsequently, use the heating element 21 to smelt the raw materials in the mold box 11. During this period, the heat generated during the smelting of the vacuum inner furnace 5 enters the cavity. The air pump 15 uses the suction pipe 16 to extract the normal-temperature gas in the atmosphere into the connecting pipe 6, and the gas exchanges heat with the heat in the cavity through the connecting pipe 6. As the air pump 15 continuously sends the gas into the connecting pipe 6, the gas undergoing heat exchange is pushed into the feeding pipe 7, and can preheat the raw materials in the feeding pipe 7, thereby reducing the energy consumption during the smelting process. After the smelting is completed, open the sealing door 14, and use tools to take out the mold box 11 from the vacuum inner furnace 5 to avoid burns.
[0048] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model can easily think of various changes or substitutions thereof, and these should all be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
