Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of molten metal conveying components for casting and rolling mills, and more specifically to a lifting and holding furnace with a buffer function. Background technology:

[0002] Metal-metal composite materials are a new type of material formed by the inter-atomic diffusion between two or more metals at the metal interface. Due to the advanced technology and the technical characteristics of the material itself, metal composite plates have advantages that single metal materials cannot match. Copper-aluminum composite strip is a new type of composite material that has been developed in recent years. It has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high strength, good heat dissipation performance and low production cost. Currently, copper-aluminum composite strips are mainly manufactured using continuous casting and rolling mills. In this process, the aluminum substrate is molten from aluminum in a smelting furnace. The molten aluminum is then fed into a holding furnace via a conveyor trough. The solution in the holding furnace enters a feed nozzle, which supplies material to the rolls and is then rolled together with the copper strip to form a copper-aluminum composite strip. The existing holding furnace has a rectangular furnace body with a feed inlet on the upper middle part of one side and a discharge outlet at the bottom of the other side. The feed inlet is connected to the conveyor trough, and the discharge outlet is located below it, connecting to the feed nozzle. Because the height of the feed nozzle and the smelting furnace is fixed, and the position of the conveyor trough is relatively fixed based on the position of the smelting furnace outlet, the height difference between the feed inlet and the discharge outlet of the holding furnace is predetermined.

[0003] Currently, when replacing copper strips or encountering other malfunctions, the holding furnace needs to stop feeding material to the nozzle by blocking the outlet; however, the conveyor chute continues to feed molten aluminum into the holding furnace. The molten aluminum is stored inside the holding furnace, but the existing holding furnace is relatively small and needs to be expanded. Expansion can be achieved through vertical or horizontal expansion, but because the height difference between the inlet and outlet of the holding furnace is fixed, vertical expansion is not possible, and only horizontal expansion is possible. However, expanding the horizontal area would affect the operating space of other parts of the casting and rolling mill (such as making nozzle replacement inconvenient), and the insulation effect would be weakened by increasing the horizontal area. Therefore, a structure needs to be designed that can effectively expand the holding furnace without affecting other operating spaces. Utility model content:

[0034] Working principle: This structure is a lifting-type heat preservation furnace with a buffer function. The structure of the lifting-type heat preservation furnace is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, molten aluminum flows from the conveying trough 2 into the holding furnace 1 through the lower feed port 12, and then is output through the discharge port 11 and the discharge interface 51.

[0035] When it is necessary to buffer molten aluminum, the lifting cylinder 8 is activated, lowering the holding furnace 1. The discharge valve plate 5 and feed valve plate 6 on both sides of the holding furnace 1 remain stationary. The downward movement of the holding furnace 1 is equivalent to the conveying trough 2 moving upwards within the holding furnace 1. The discharge port 11 and lower feed port 12 on the holding furnace 1 are blocked by the discharge valve plate 5 and feed valve plate 6, respectively. Simultaneously, the conveying trough 2 connects with the upper feed port 13, and the molten aluminum conveyed from the conveying trough 2 is stored inside the holding furnace 1. Figure 2 As shown,

[0036] When the subsequent casting and rolling station of the holding furnace 1 resumes operation, the aluminum liquid buffered in the holding furnace 1 needs to be transferred first. Therefore, the lifting cylinder 8 is activated to raise the holding furnace 1. However, to prevent the buffered aluminum liquid from flowing out of the lower feed port 12 on the holding furnace 1, the piston rod of the discharge cylinder 93 on its supporting beam 9 is in a retracted state. This ensures that the feed valve plate 6 still blocks the lower feed port 12, but the discharge port 11 is connected to the discharge interface 51 on the discharge valve plate 5, allowing the aluminum liquid to be discharged from the discharge interface 51. Figure 3 As shown;

[0037] When the liquid level in the heat preservation furnace 1 is lower than the lower feed port 13, the piston rod of its discharge cylinder 93 extends, causing the heat preservation furnace 1 to move upward again, thereby opening the lower feed port 12.

[0038] The embodiments described above are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify the embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be as set forth in the claims.
