Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of smelting furnace equipment, and particularly relates to a safe smelting furnace for smelting aluminum. Background Technique

[0002] Smelting aluminum refers to the process of heating aluminum ore or recycled waste to its melting point to make it into liquid aluminum. A smelting furnace is used as a container in the heating and liquefaction process of smelting aluminum. A smelting furnace is a device used to heat solid materials to their melting point and convert them into a liquid state. There are various heating methods for the smelting furnace to heat materials, such as resistance heating, induction heating, combustion heating, and radiation heating. In the scenario of smelting aluminum, an aluminum electrolysis furnace is usually used.

[0003] However, in the process of smelting aluminum with the existing smelting furnace, on the one hand, it is necessary to remove the slag in the liquefied aluminum water, and on the other hand, after the aluminum is liquefied, it needs to be poured into a mold for casting. Because the aluminum water itself has a high temperature and the heat dissipated to the surrounding air is also relatively high, it is easy to cause burns to the staff during the operation of these two processes. Moreover, when the aluminum water is poured into the mold, a large amount of heat is released, and the existing equipment does not utilize it, resulting in waste of thermal energy.

[0004] In view of the above problems, it is urgent to innovate and design on the basis of the original smelting furnace. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model provides a solution significantly different from the prior art for the technical problem that the solution of the prior art is too single, so as to solve the problems that burns to the staff are likely to occur during the operation of these two processes mentioned in the above background technique, and when the aluminum water is poured into the mold, a large amount of heat is released, and the existing equipment does not utilize it, resulting in waste of thermal energy.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a safe smelting furnace for smelting aluminum, including a furnace body, a pouring structure is arranged at the bottom of the furnace body, and an air delivery pipe communicating with the pouring structure is installed on the outer wall of the furnace body, and the end of the air delivery pipe is connected to a feeding structure, the end of the feeding structure is connected with a cover plate, and the cover plate is installed on the top of the furnace body, a driving motor is installed on the top of the cover plate, and the output end of the driving motor is connected with a stirring rotating shaft, the stirring rotating shaft is located in the melting cavity, and the melting cavity is opened at the top of the furnace body, a slag removal structure is arranged between the stirring rotating shaft and the cover plate, a discharge port is arranged between the melting cavity and the pouring structure, and a discharge valve is clamped and slidably connected between the discharge port and the outer wall of the furnace body, an electric telescopic rod is connected between the cover plate and the feeding structure, and a pressure relief valve is arranged on the top of the cover plate.

[0007] Preferably, the pouring structure includes a cavity, an L-shaped movable bottom plate, a pouring mold, and an opening. A cavity is formed at the bottom of the furnace body, and an opening communicating with the cavity is formed on the outer wall of the furnace body. An L-shaped movable bottom plate is arranged in the cavity, and the vertical area of the L-shaped movable bottom plate is closely attached to the opening. A pouring mold for shaping molten aluminum is installed on the top of the L-shaped movable bottom plate.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding structure includes a mounting frame, a feeding cylinder, a heat conduction groove, a screw rod, a feeding pipe, and an air extraction and heat exchange mechanism. The mounting frame is installed near the furnace body, and a feeding cylinder is installed on the mounting frame. A screw rod for conveying materials is installed in the feeding cylinder. A heat conduction groove is formed in the wall of the feeding cylinder. One end of the heat conduction groove is connected to the air delivery pipe, and the other end of the heat conduction groove is connected to the air extraction and heat exchange mechanism. A feeding pipe is installed at the bottom outlet of the feeding cylinder, and the end of the feeding pipe communicates with the cover plate.

[0009] Preferably, the heat conduction grooves are spirally distributed in the feeding cylinder, and the air extraction and heat exchange mechanism includes an air extraction fan and a heat exchanger for a set of heat dissipation processes.

[0010] Preferably, the slag removal structure includes a ceramic rotating cylinder, a bent rod, an outer ring groove, a movable cylinder, an inner ring groove, a strip groove, a fixed block, a slag removal mesh bag, and a scraper. The ceramic rotating cylinder is rotatably connected to the top of the cover plate, and a bent rod is arranged in the ceramic rotating cylinder. The end of the bent rod penetrates through the cover plate and is located in the outer ring groove. The outer ring groove is formed on the outer wall of the movable cylinder, and the movable cylinder is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the stirring rotating shaft. An inner ring groove is formed on the inner wall of the movable cylinder, and a plurality of strip grooves are equally angularly arranged on the inner wall of the movable cylinder about its center line. Each strip groove communicates with the inner ring groove. At least one fixed block is connected to the outer wall of the stirring rotating shaft, and the fixed block is in a snap-fit sliding connection with the inner ring groove and the strip groove. The bottom of the outer wall of the movable cylinder is connected with a slag removal mesh bag, and the end of the slag removal mesh bag is connected with a scraper for scraping the inner wall of the melting cavity.

[0013] Compared with traditional melting furnaces that do not have the function of preheating materials, each batch of materials entering the furnace needs to be heated from room temperature to the melting point to liquefy, which requires more energy loss than heating the preheated materials to the melting point.

[0014] The device can stir the molten aluminum through the stirring shaft to help it liquefy quickly and evenly. At the same time, the slag removal structure installed on the stirring shaft can operate after the molten aluminum is liquefied, thereby collecting and removing impurities floating on the surface of the molten aluminum. This process also eliminates the need for staff to remove slag personally, which may cause burns, thereby enhancing the safety of the device. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] Working principle: According to Figure 1As shown, first, the staff member opens the valve on the feeding pipe 405, making the feeding pipe 405 communicate with the melting cavity 8 of the furnace body 1. Start the auger rod 404 to cooperate with the feeding cylinder 402 to convey the material into the melting cavity 8 for heating and liquefaction. Then, the staff member performs slag removal on the liquefied molten aluminum. The staff member rotates the ceramic rotating cylinder 901, causing the bent rod 902 connected by threads to move into the melting cavity 8, pushing the movable cylinder 904 to move up and down along the stirring rotating shaft 7, so that the fixing block 907 connected to the outer wall of the stirring rotating shaft 7 moves from the annular groove 905 to the strip groove 906, and the slag removal net bag 908 connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the movable cylinder 904 is half immersed in the surface layer of the molten aluminum.

Through the setting of the outer annular groove 903, the bent rod 902 does not affect the rotation of the movable cylinder 904. After slag removal, reverse the above process to reset the slag removal structure 9. Open the discharge valve 11, so that the molten aluminum in the melting cavity 8 enters the casting mold 203 from the discharge port 10 for shaping. Start the air extraction and heat exchange mechanism 406, so that a large amount of heat generated in the cavity 201 during this process enters the air pipe 3 along with the air, flows into the heat conduction groove 403, and finally passes through the heat exchanger and other equipment of the air extraction and heat exchange mechanism 406 to cool the gas and then discharge it to the air purification equipment for purification and discharge into the outside after reaching the standard.
