Detailed implementation mode

[0019] The following will describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention:

[0020] As shown in the figure, as described in the background art, the sealing device of the present invention is used at the stainless steel rotating pipe 31 of the vacuum melting furnace to achieve the insulating seal between the sealing device and the inner wall of the stainless steel rotating pipe 31 and the insulating seal between the sealing device and the intermediate frequency induction copper pipe 4. The stainless steel rotating pipe 31 and the furnace body 3 are integrally formed structures, thereby realizing the seal of the furnace body 3 at the stainless steel rotating pipe 31. The intermediate frequency induction copper pipe 4 penetrates through the stainless steel rotating pipe 31 on the side of the furnace body 3. The device of the present invention includes an epoxy insulating board 1 and a sealing rubber ring 2. The epoxy insulating board 1 and the sealing rubber ring 2 are stacked in sequence to form a multi-layer structure. The innermost layer of the multi-layer structure close to the inside of the stainless steel rotating pipe 31 is the epoxy insulating board 1. A support plate is provided at the inner end of the stainless steel rotating pipe 31 to support the innermost epoxy insulating board 1. The outermost layer of the multi-layer structure outside the stainless steel rotating pipe 31 is also the epoxy insulating board 1. In this embodiment, five epoxy insulating boards 1 and four sealing rubber rings 2 are used as an example for illustration, which is not a limitation on the number of layers. The five epoxy insulating boards 1 and the four sealing rubber rings 2 are sequentially arranged from the inside to the outside as epoxy insulating board 1, sealing rubber ring 2, epoxy insulating board 1, sealing rubber ring 2, epoxy insulating board 1, sealing rubber ring 2, epoxy insulating board 1, sealing rubber ring 2, epoxy insulating board 1. A pressing component 5 is provided on the outermost layer of the multi-layer structure. The pressing component 5 is connected to the outer end of the stainless steel rotating pipe 31. The pressing component 5 is a stainless steel flange. The stainless steel flange is located outside the outermost epoxy insulating board 1. The outer circle of the stainless steel flange is matched with the inner circle of the stainless steel rotating pipe 31. The screw abuts against the stainless steel flange. The inner circle of the stainless steel flange is smaller than its outer circle. When the screw is tightened, the flange has a pressing force that squeezes towards the furnace body 3. A safety distance is left between the screw and the intermediate frequency induction copper pipe 4, which does not affect the conductive function of the intermediate frequency induction copper pipe 4. The epoxy insulating board 1, the sealing rubber ring 2 and the stainless steel flange are all provided with through holes for the intermediate frequency induction copper pipe 4 to pass through; the through holes on the epoxy insulating board 1 include two insulating board through holes 11, the through holes on the sealing rubber ring 2 include two rubber ring through holes 21, and the flange is also provided with two through holes for the intermediate frequency induction copper pipe 4 to pass through. One group of insulating board through holes 11 and rubber ring through holes 21 are for the water inlet side 41 of the intermediate frequency induction copper pipe to pass through, and the other group of insulating board through holes 11 and rubber ring through holes 21 are for the water outlet side 42 of the intermediate frequency induction copper pipe to pass through.

[0021] In the middle of one side of the epoxy insulating plate 1, there is an outwardly convex annular step 12. The outer diameter of the annular step 12 is tightly clamped with the inner diameter of the stainless steel rotating tube 31. On both ends of the annular step 12, there are frustum 13s that are mirror-symmetrical. On the sealing rubber ring 2, there are frustum surfaces 22 that are mirror-symmetrical. The frustum surface 22 is in interference fit with the corresponding frustum 13. The taper and height of the frustum surface 22 and the frustum 13 are the same, but the radius of the upper bottom surface of the frustum surface 22 is smaller than the radius of the upper bottom surface of the frustum 13, that is, the inner diameter of the frustum surface 22 is smaller than the outer diameter of the frustum 13. In this way, interference fit can be achieved when the frustum surface 22 and the frustum 13 are clamped. When the two are clamped, the epoxy insulating plate 1 will form an interference fit with the periphery of the sealing rubber ring 2, and the outer wall of the sealing rubber ring 2 and the inner wall of the stainless steel rotating tube 31 will form an interference fit, realizing the close contact between the sealing device and the inner wall of the stainless steel rotating tube 31. During the fixed pressing process of the pressing component 5, the outer side of the sealing rubber ring 2 and the inner wall of the stainless steel rotating tube 31 can be further sealed and insulated, realizing the sealing between the sealing rubber ring 2 and the inner wall of the stainless steel rotating tube 31.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, the device of the present utility model has been sealed with the inner side of the stainless steel rotating tube 31. Then, the insulating and sealing between the water inlet side 41 of the intermediate frequency induction copper tube, the water outlet side 42 of the intermediate frequency induction copper tube and each through hole also needs to be realized. Taking the water inlet side 41 of the intermediate frequency induction copper tube as an example, the specific implementation method is that on both ends of the insulating plate through hole 11, there are frustum surfaces 111 that are mirror-symmetrical. The minimum inner diameter of the insulating plate through hole 11 is in transitional fit with the outer diameter of the water inlet side 41 of the intermediate frequency induction copper tube. On the outer sides of both ends of the rubber ring through hole 21, there are frustum 211s that are mirror-symmetrical. The frustum 211 is in interference fit with the corresponding frustum surface 111. The height and taper of the frustum 211 and the frustum surface 111 are the same. The outer diameter of the upper bottom surface of the frustum 211 is larger than the inner diameter of the upper bottom surface of the frustum surface 111, that is, the outer diameter of the frustum 211 is larger than the inner diameter of the frustum surface 111 to realize the interference fit between the frustum 211 and the corresponding frustum surface 111. When the water inlet side 41 of the intermediate frequency induction copper tube is sleeved inside the device of the present utility model, the overlapping part of the rubber ring through hole 21 and the insulating plate through hole 11 will tightly hold it. The greater the extrusion force of the pressing component 5, the greater the extrusion force of the rubber ring through hole 21 on the insulating plate through hole 11, and the greater the deformation of the sealing rubber ring 2, making the rubber ring through hole 21 hold the water inlet side 41 of the intermediate frequency induction copper tube tighter to realize sealing. Another group of insulating plate through holes 11 and rubber ring through holes 21 will tightly hold and seal the water outlet side 42 of the intermediate frequency induction copper tube.

[0023] During use, the intermediate-frequency induction copper tube 4 has been placed at the position of the stainless-steel rotating tube 31, with the upper side being the water inlet side 41 of the intermediate-frequency induction copper tube and the lower side being the water outlet side 42 of the intermediate-frequency induction copper tube. It is sequentially placed into the stainless-steel rotating tube 31 in the order of epoxy insulating board 1, sealing rubber ring 2, epoxy insulating board 1, sealing rubber ring 2, epoxy insulating board 1, sealing rubber ring 2, epoxy insulating board 1, sealing rubber ring 2, epoxy insulating board 1. And make a set of insulating board through-holes 11 and rubber ring through-holes 21 sleeved through the water inlet side 41 of the intermediate-frequency induction copper tube, and the other set of insulating board through-holes 11 and rubber ring through-holes 21 sleeved through the water outlet side 42 of the intermediate-frequency induction copper tube. After the adjacent epoxy insulating board 1 and sealing rubber ring 2 are engaged in a snap-fit, a flange is used at the outer end of the stainless-steel rotating tube 31 to push inward into the stainless-steel rotating tube 31 to apply an extrusion pressure to the multi-layer structure. The core of the sealing device of the present invention is that the epoxy insulating board 1 and the sealing rubber ring 2 are stacked in multiple layers in sequence. The outermost epoxy insulating board 1 is pressed inward by a stainless-steel flange through screws, forcing the outer circle of the sealing rubber ring 2 to expand the inner circle of the stainless-steel rotating tube 31. The inner circle of the rubber ring through-hole 21 is squeezed and deformed to tightly hold the outer circle of the intermediate-frequency induction copper tube 4, so that the furnace body 3, the intermediate-frequency induction copper tube 4, the epoxy insulating board 1 and the sealing rubber ring 2 form an integrated connection, thereby achieving a highly sealed effect. Due to the extrusion deformation, the outer circle of the sealing rubber ring 2 is held tighter, and the inner circle of the rubber ring through-hole is held tighter, and the sealing effect reaches the best state. At the same time, insulating glue is applied between the epoxy insulating board 1 and the sealing rubber ring 2 to achieve a better insulating effect. Thus, the insulation and sealing installation is completed to meet the working requirements of the vacuum melting furnace. The device of the present invention has been produced and used in a vacuum melting furnace. Practice has proved that the actual effect of the sealing device designed as above is very good.

[0024] The above embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
