DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] according to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application proposes a precious metal particle manufacturing device, comprising a smelting crucible 1, the smelting crucible 1 is provided with a discharge port 7, a granulation crucible 2 is arranged below the discharge port 7, the lower end of the granulation crucible 2 is provided with a liquid outlet 3 connected to the inner cavity of the granulation crucible 2, a cooling chamber 6 is provided below the liquid outlet 3, the upper end of the cooling chamber 6 is provided with a liquid inlet 5 corresponding to the position of the liquid outlet 3, the liquid inlet 5 is provided with a plurality of high-pressure water nozzles 4 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, the inclination angles of the plurality of high-pressure water nozzles 4 in the vertical direction are all different, the lower end of the cooling chamber 6 is provided with a discharge port 7, and an open collecting hopper 8 is provided below the discharge port 7.

[0018] First of all, it should be stated that by setting up multiple high-pressure water nozzles 4, when the molten metal in the granulation crucible 2 flows downward from the liquid outlet 3 to the liquid inlet 5, the high-pressure spraying action of the multiple high-pressure water nozzles 4 causes the molten metal to be atomized along with the high-pressure water, and forms granules under the cooling action of the cooling chamber 6, and the inclination angles of the multiple high-pressure water nozzles 4 in the vertical direction are all different, that is, the multiple high-pressure water nozzles 4 can impact the molten metal from different angles, thereby improving the uniformity of the granulation of the molten metal, and the particle size of the metal powder forming can be adjusted by controlling the water pressure of the high-pressure water nozzles 4, thereby improving the overall quality of the metal powder forming.

[0019] The high-pressure water nozzle 4 achieves high-pressure water atomization through a high-pressure water pipe and a high-pressure water pump. Specifically, the water pump is connected to the water tank and the high-pressure water nozzle via a water pipe, providing a stable water flow and pressure. The rational design of the water pump and water pipe connection effectively prevents water leakage and pressure fluctuations, ensuring the stability and continuity of the water atomization process. The system also includes a control system for controlling the temperature of the melting crucible 1 and the granulating crucible 2, as well as the water pressure and frequency of the high-pressure water nozzle 4.

[0020] Specifically, the outer wall of the melting crucible 1 is densely surrounded by melting coils 101, while the outer wall of the granulating crucible 2 is densely surrounded by heating and insulation coils 201. This comprehensive design ensures uniform and comprehensive heating. The melting crucible 1 is made of quartz to withstand high-temperature molten metal; the granulating crucible 2 is made of graphite to reduce the adhesion of molten metal to the inner wall of the crucible.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to further improve the quality of metal granulation, the above-mentioned liquid outlet 3 is provided with a liquid outlet nozzle 202 for bundling the metal liquid in the granulation crucible 2 to flow out. The molten metal liquid in the granulation crucible 2 can be bundled from the liquid outlet such as the liquid inlet 5 at a certain temperature. A plurality of high-pressure water nozzles 4 synchronously realize high-pressure atomization spraying. Under the impact of the high-pressure water mist, the water mist carries granular metal droplets into the cooling chamber 6 and gradually forms metal powder. Moreover, the liquid outlet nozzle 202 is funnel-shaped, which improves the flow efficiency of the metal liquid.

[0022] In summary, the embodiment of the present application proposes a precious metal particle manufacturing device, comprising a smelting crucible 1, the smelting crucible 1 is provided with a discharge port 7, a granulation crucible 2 is arranged below the discharge port 7, the lower end of the granulation crucible 2 is provided with a liquid outlet 3 connected to the inner cavity of the granulation crucible 2, a cooling chamber 6 is provided below the liquid outlet 3, the upper end of the cooling chamber 6 is provided with a liquid inlet 5 corresponding to the position of the liquid outlet 3, the liquid inlet 5 is provided with a plurality of high-pressure water nozzles 4 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the inclination angles of the plurality of high-pressure water nozzles 4 in the vertical direction are all different, the lower end of the cooling chamber 6 is provided with a discharge port 7, and an open collecting hopper 8 is provided below the discharge port 7.
