Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal powder production technology, specifically to a reduction device for metal powder. Background Technology
[0002] Metal powder reduction refers to the process of reducing metal compounds into metal powder through chemical or thermodynamic methods. Reduced iron powder is a gray or black powder mainly containing elemental iron, commonly used for food preservation and as a high-quality reducing agent in chemical production. Reduced copper powder is obtained from copper oxide through a reduction reaction and is mainly used in the chemical industry.
[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (CN214768941U) that discloses a heat treatment reduction device for producing composite copper powder, comprising an overall device, a main housing, a gas storage bottle, and a liquid storage bottle. The main housing is fixedly connected to the middle of the overall device. A top cover is embedded in the top of the main housing. A gas storage bottle is movably connected to the left side of the main housing, and a liquid storage bottle is movably connected to the right side. A vacuum pump is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of both sides of the main housing, with a gas delivery pipe penetrating through the middle of the vacuum pump. An exhaust pipe is embedded in the top right side of the liquid storage bottle. A drawer is embedded in the bottom front of the main housing. The interior of the main housing... A heating coil is embedded in the middle of the main box. A control circuit board is connected to the bottom of the heating coil, and a timer is connected to the right end of the control circuit board. An alarm is connected to the right end of the timer. A telescopic push plate is fixedly connected to the inside right side of the main box, and a telescopic baffle is fixedly connected to the inside left side of the main box. A powder conveying pipe is embedded in the middle of the inside left side of the main box. A pull plate is fixedly connected to the left side of the drawer, and a drawer body is movably connected to the right side of the pull plate. An anti-stick plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the drawer body. A bottle cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid storage bottle, and a bottle cap is embedded in the top of the bottle cylinder. This utility model uses a reduction mechanism. When the heating coil heats, it heats the composite copper powder at the top. When the timer counts down, the control circuit board stops the heating coil. The operation of the reduction mechanism achieves a heat treatment reduction effect on the composite copper powder. Moreover, the reduction mechanism avoids the trouble of constantly monitoring the copper powder reduction process, thus greatly improving the efficiency of copper powder reduction.
[0004] However, in the above scheme, using a single heating method for thermal reduction treatment can easily lead to a large amount of energy consumption, is not environmentally friendly enough, and can easily increase production costs. In addition, it requires manual removal of the reduced iron powder, making it difficult to apply to the large-scale production of raw materials such as iron concentrate.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a reduction device for metal powder. Utility Model Content
