Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of metallurgical production equipment, and particularly relates to an anti-interference device for a weighing system of a vacuum consumable furnace. Background Art
[0002] Vacuum consumable smelting refers to a smelting method in which the molten material serves as one electrode and a water-cooled copper crucible serves as the other electrode under vacuum conditions. An arc is struck between the two electrodes, and the molten material is melted by the high temperature of the arc and drips into the crucible, where it gradually melts and condenses into ingots.
[0003] The weighing system measures the remaining weight of consumable electrodes during the melting process. Working in conjunction with the main control system, it provides real-time monitoring and display of the remaining electrode weight, enabling melting rate control. Furthermore, it provides quantitative control of the melting process, accurately determining the melting progress and whether melting has concluded. It also implements current reduction and compensation according to the process curve settings before the end of melting. Therefore, the stability and accuracy of the weighing system are crucial to the proper operation of consumable furnaces.
[0004] Currently, during the melting process in a vacuum consumable furnace, the melting voltage is typically 25-37V DC and the current is 10-36kA. This creates a strong electromagnetic interference zone around the positive and negative circuits. The furnace structure places the weighing system within this electromagnetic interference zone. However, regardless of whether the weighing system uses analog or digital signals, strong electromagnetic interference can cause interference, resulting in distorted or lost weighing data. Conventional weighing methods are unable to reliably and accurately measure electrode weight.
[0005] Therefore, an anti-interference device for the weighing system of a vacuum consumable furnace is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In response to the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the utility model provides an anti-interference device for a vacuum consumable furnace weighing system, comprising a weighing sensor arranged on a side close to the vacuum consumable furnace, an instrument control cabinet arranged on a side away from the vacuum consumable furnace, and an anti-interference isolator and a display instrument arranged in the instrument control cabinet, the weighing sensor being provided with signal output terminals A1 and B1, the anti-interference isolator being provided with signal input terminals A2 and B2, and signal output terminals A and B, the signal output terminals A1 and B1 of the weighing sensor being communicatively connected to the signal input terminals B2 and A2 of the anti-interference isolator respectively through data transmission cables, the data transmission cable being connected to a first isolation capacitor through a wire, the first isolation capacitor being grounded through a wire, the display instrument being provided with signal input terminals A' and B', and a ground terminal GND, the signal input terminals A' and B' of the display instrument being communicatively connected to the signal output terminals A and B of the weighing sensor respectively, the ground terminal GND of the display instrument being connected to a second isolation capacitor through a wire, and the second isolation capacitor being grounded through a wire.
[0007] Optionally, the capacitance value of the first isolation capacitor is 0.5-1 μF, and the capacitance value of the second isolation capacitor is 0.05-0.2 μF.
[0008] Optionally, the model of the weighing sensor is SCW615-APMD, the model of the display instrument is IND360, and the model of the anti-interference isolator is GCAN-216.
[0009] Optionally, the instrument control cabinet is further provided with a cooling mechanism for cooling the anti-interference isolator and the display instrument.
[0010] Optionally, the cooling mechanism includes a heat dissipation fan and a main pipe. The heat dissipation fan is fixedly arranged on the outside of one side of the instrument control cabinet. The air outlet end of the heat dissipation fan is connected to the air duct, and the air duct passes through the side wall of the instrument control cabinet and extends inward. The main pipe is arranged in the instrument control cabinet and corresponds to the position of the anti-interference isolator and the display instrument. The main pipe is connected to the air duct. The main pipe is provided with several air outlets facing the anti-interference isolator and the display instrument. A heat dissipation port is provided on the side wall on the other side of the instrument control cabinet.
[0011] Specifically, since the anti-interference isolator does not have a good heat dissipation function, it may cause the equipment to overheat and affect its performance and stability. Therefore, a cooling mechanism is provided to cool the anti-interference isolator and display instrument with air to ensure their normal operation.
[0012] In addition, the anti-interference isolator is a high-performance CAN bus communication isolation module with an integrated 2-way CAN interface, supporting a baud rate range of 10K-500Kbps. The interface electrical isolation protection module prevents damage to the equipment due to instantaneous overcurrent / overvoltage, enhancing the reliability of the system in harsh environments.

Ground capacitance is added to the sensor and display instrument ends to eliminate conducted interference of different frequencies. The first isolation capacitor eliminates low-frequency, high-energy glitches, while the second isolation capacitor removes high-frequency, low-energy glitches, achieving stable and accurate measurement of electrode weight.
