Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of precious metal purification devices, in particular to a precious metal reduction furnace. Background Art

[0002] A precious metal reduction furnace is a device that uses high temperature and reducing gas to reduce precious metal oxides into elemental metals.

[0003] At present, the traditional method of precious metal reduction is to place the material on a quartz tube through a quartz boat, introduce reducing gas, and heat it at high temperature to use redox reaction to obtain metal elements. The product is mainly water. The precious metal reduction process is completed through tail gas treatment and wastewater collection.

[0004] In actual operation, the connection between the air inlet pipe and the supporting quartz tube is usually a flange connection. Although this connection method can provide good sealing and stability in the initial stage, over time, due to the influence of high temperature, high pressure and the corrosive environment generated by chemical reactions, the sealing material at the flange connection is prone to aging, hardening or cracking. Once the sealing performance of the flange connection deteriorates, when the reducing gas continues to be introduced into the quartz tube, the pressure inside the supporting quartz tube increases, and the gas may leak out from these tiny gaps. This leakage is often slow and difficult to detect. The operator may not be able to immediately detect the abnormality, and thus cannot ensure potential safety hazards, reducing the safety of the entire process. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the utility model provides a precious metal reduction furnace, including a heating furnace 1, a material-carrying quartz tube 2 is provided inside the heating furnace 1, quick flanges 3 are provided at both ends of the material-carrying quartz tube 2, an air inlet pipe 4 and an exhaust pipe 5 are provided on one side of the quick flange 3, a drain port 6 is provided on the side of the quick flange 3 close to the exhaust pipe 5, and a quartz tube support frame 7 is provided on the surface of the material-carrying quartz tube 2;

[0026] A warning mechanism is provided on the surface of the quick flange 3. The warning mechanism includes a sealing ring 8, which is sleeved on the surface of the quick flange 3. A connecting shell 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the surface of the sealing ring 8. A connecting pipe 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the connecting shell 9, and the top of the connecting pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing ring 8. An impeller 11 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting shell 9, and an eccentric wheel 12 is installed on one side of the impeller 11. A spring 13 is fixedly installed inside the connecting shell 9, and one end of the spring 13 is fixedly installed with a connecting plate 14 located at one end of the eccentric wheel 12. A fixed block 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the inside of the connecting shell 9, and a knocking plate 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting plate 14 close to the fixed block 16.

[0027] The above scheme is adopted: the operator places the precious metal oxide into the material-carrying quartz tube 2 through a quartz boat, and then installs the quick flange 3 on one end of the material-carrying quartz tube 2. After the installation is completed, the sealing ring 8 can be put on the surface of the quick flange 3 and the material-carrying quartz tube 2, and the reducing gas is introduced into the material-carrying quartz tube 2 from the air inlet pipe 4. The material-carrying quartz tube 2 is heated, and then an oxidation-reduction reaction is used to obtain a metal element. The product is mainly water, thereby completing the precious metal reduction process. After the precious metal reduction is completed, the exhaust pipe 5 and the drain port 6 can be opened to discharge the waste gas and wastewater.

[0028] After the quick flange 3 is installed, the sealing ring 8 can be put on the surface of the quick flange 3 and the material-carrying quartz tube 2. Then, when the material-carrying quartz tube 2 is ventilated, when the gas leaks from the gap between the quick flange 3 and the material-carrying quartz tube 2, the leaked gas will enter the inside of the sealing ring 8, and then the gas will pass through the connecting pipe 10 into the inside of the connecting shell 9, and will contact the blades on the surface of the impeller 11, and then the flowing gas will drive the impeller 11 to rotate, and the impeller 11 will drive the eccentric wheel 12 to rotate. In the process of the rotation of the eccentric wheel 12, it will push the connecting plate 14 to move. When the connecting plate 14 moves, When the eccentric wheel 12 is moved away from the connecting plate 14, the spring 13 will be compressed. Due to the resilience of the spring 13, when the eccentric wheel 12 is away from the connecting plate 14, the compressed spring 13 will push the connecting plate 14 to reset, and then when the eccentric wheel 12 rotates, the connecting plate 14 will move back and forth, and the connecting plate 14 will drive the knocking plate 15 to move back and forth. When the knocking plate 15 moves, it will frequently hit the fixed block 16, causing it to make a sound, thereby reminding the operator of gas leakage. Finally, the leaked gas drives the knocking plate 15 to hit the fixed block 16 to make a sound, thereby reminding the operator of gas leakage, effectively avoiding potential safety hazards and improving the safety of the entire process.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a support groove 18 is provided on one side of the sealing ring 8, and a support block 17 located inside the support groove 18 is fixedly installed on the side of the quick flange 3 close to the air inlet pipe 4. There are three support blocks 17 and support grooves 18. An annular groove is provided inside the sealing ring 8, and a gap is provided between the annular groove and the material-bearing quartz tube 2 and the quick flange 3.

[0030] The above solution is adopted: through the design of the support block 17 and the support groove 18, when the sealing ring 8 is put on the surface of the quick flange 3 and the material-carrying quartz tube 2, the support block 17 can enter the interior of the support groove 18, and the support block 17 can support the sealing ring 8. Through the design of the sealing ring 8, since a circular groove is provided inside the sealing ring 8, and a gap is provided between the circular groove and the material-carrying quartz tube 2 and the quick flange 3, the leaked reducing gas will enter the interior of the circular groove under the support of the slide groove 19, thereby facilitating the gas to enter the interior of the connecting shell 9.

[0031] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a slide groove 19 is opened on one side of the interior of the quartz tube support frame 7, and the interior of the connecting plate 14 is rollingly connected to a pulley 20 located inside the slide groove 19. There are two springs 13, and the springs 13 are designed to be transversely symmetrical about the center of the connecting plate 14.

[0032] The above solution is adopted: through the design of the slide groove 19 and the pulley 20, when the connecting plate 14 moves, the pulley 20 will be driven to move. Since the surface of the pulley 20 contacts the inner wall of the slide groove 19, when it moves, the pulley 20 will roll inside the slide groove 19, thereby enabling the connecting plate 14 to move more smoothly. Through the design of the spring 13, since there are two springs 13 and they are symmetrically designed, the two compressed springs 13 will simultaneously push the connecting plate 14 to move, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the connecting plate 14.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a square hole is opened at the bottom end of the connecting shell 9 , the surface of the connecting plate 14 is in contact with the inner wall of the connecting shell 9 , and the knocking plate 15 is arranged in the middle of one side of the connecting plate 14 .

[0034] The above-mentioned solution is adopted: through the design of the connecting shell 9, since a square hole is opened at the bottom end of the connecting shell 9, after the gas drives the impeller 11 to rotate, it will be discharged from the inside of the square hole, avoiding excessive pressure in the connecting shell 9 and improving the service life of the components. Through the design of the connecting plate 14, since the surface of the connecting plate 14 fits with the inner wall of the connecting shell 9, the connecting shell 9 can limit the connecting plate 14 when the connecting plate 14 moves, and the knocking plate 15 is arranged in the middle of one side of the connecting plate 14, which makes it convenient for the knocking plate 15 to knock on the surface of the fixed block 16.

[0035] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0036] The operator places the precious metal oxide into the material-carrying quartz tube 2 through a quartz boat, and then installs the quick flange 3 on one end of the material-carrying quartz tube 2. After the installation is completed, the sealing ring 8 can be put on the surface of the quick flange 3 and the material-carrying quartz tube 2. Then, the reducing gas is introduced into the material-carrying quartz tube 2 through the air inlet pipe 4, and the material-carrying quartz tube 2 is heated to complete the precious metal reduction process. After the precious metal reduction is completed, the exhaust pipe 5 and the drain port 6 can be opened to discharge the waste gas and wastewater.

[0037] During long-term use, when gas leaks from the gap between the quick flange 3 and the material-carrying quartz tube 2, the leaked gas will pass through the connecting pipe 10 into the interior of the connecting shell 9 and push the impeller 11 to rotate. The impeller 11 will drive the eccentric wheel 12 and the connecting plate 14 to move. When the eccentric wheel 12 rotates, it will drive the connecting plate 14 to move back and forth. The connecting plate 14 will drive the knocking plate 15 to move back and forth. When the knocking plate 15 moves, it will frequently hit the fixed block 16, causing it to make a sound, thereby reminding the operator of gas leakage.
