Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metallurgical equipment technology, and in particular to a material unloading device for a sintering crucible. Background Technology
[0002] Sintering crucibles are used to melt, sinter, or heat various substances, such as metals, ores, and glass, in high-temperature environments. The materials used to make sintering crucibles usually have extremely high refractoriness and chemical stability to ensure that they can maintain their structural integrity and functionality under extreme temperature conditions.
[0003] When using a crucible to melt materials, the crucible needs to be placed inside a combustion furnace. The furnace provides a high-temperature environment so that the material can reach its melting temperature within the crucible. After melting, some crucibles are manually removed from the furnace using crucible tongs. The tongs are also used for unloading. Since crucibles are used at high temperatures, improper operation can lead to burns from contact with the hot crucible or the hot parts of the tongs. Furthermore, the crucible and the material inside have weight; if the tongs opening is not properly adjusted or the handle clamping force is insufficient, the crucible may become unstable or even fall, resulting in material waste and potentially injury.

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1-4As shown, the present invention provides a sintering crucible unloading device, including a column 1, a movable platform 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the column 1, a controller 3 fixedly installed on one side of the column 1, the controller 3 being electrically connected to a power module inside the column 1, a handle 4 fixedly installed at the rear of the column 1, an upper fixed seat 5 and a lower fixed seat 6 fixedly installed at the front of the column 1 respectively, a first motor 7 fixedly installed at the top of the upper fixed seat 5, the first motor 7 being electrically connected to the controller 3 via a connecting wire, two guide shafts 8 fixedly connected between the upper fixed seat 5 and the lower fixed seat 6, a slider 9 movably installed between the two guide shafts 8, a gearbox 10 fixedly installed at the front of the slider 9, an L-shaped carrier plate 18 movably installed at the front of the gearbox 10, a clamping mechanism 11 provided at the front of the L-shaped carrier plate 18, the clamping mechanism 11 including a mounting frame 12, two gears 13 movably installed inside the mounting frame 12, two mounting seats 14 movably installed at the front of the mounting frame 12, and clamping rods 15 movably installed at the front of the two mounting seats 14 respectively.
[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, a lead screw 16 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first motor 7. The bottom of the lead screw 16 is rotatably installed in the shaft seat of the lower fixed seat 6, and the lead screw 16 is also threadedly connected to the screw hole in the slider 9. Through the cooperation of the first motor 7 and the lead screw 16, the slider 9 can be adjusted to lift, thereby realizing the lifting function of the clamping mechanism 11. A third motor 28 is fixedly installed on one side of the gearbox 10. The third motor 28 is electrically connected to the controller 3 through a connecting line. The output end of the third motor 28 is fixedly connected to the input end of the gearbox 10. A turntable 17 is fixedly installed at the output end of the front side of the gearbox 10. The rear side of the L-shaped carrier plate 18 is fixedly installed on the front side of the turntable 17. Through the cooperation of the slider 9 with the gearbox 10, the turntable 17, and the L-shaped carrier plate 18, the axial movement of the clamping mechanism 11 can be realized, thereby facilitating the pouring of the molten metal in the crucible.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figures 3-4As shown, a second motor 19 is fixedly mounted on one side of the bottom of the mounting bracket 12. The output end of the second motor 19 passes through the bottom of the mounting bracket 12 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of one of the gears 13. Multiple connecting rods 21 are movably mounted on the front side of the mounting bracket 12. First fixing rods 20 are fixedly mounted on the outer sides of the two gears 13 respectively. Connecting seats 22 are fixedly mounted on opposite sides of the two mounting seats 14 respectively. A second fixing rod 23 is fixedly mounted on the front side of the mounting seat 14. Limiting blocks 24 are fixedly mounted on the top and bottom sides of the second fixing rod 23. Fixing bolts 25 are also threaded into the second fixing rod 23. The rear side of the mounting seat 14 is rotatably mounted on the corresponding first... At the bottom of the fixed rod 20, the connecting seat 22 is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting rod 21. The second motor 19 rotates the gear 13, causing the two gears 13 to mesh and connect. Together with the first fixed rod 20 and the connecting rod 21, the clamping function of the mounting seat 14 and the clamping rod 15 can be realized. An adjustment groove 26 is provided on one side of the clamping rod 15. The top and bottom of the adjustment groove 26 are provided with sliding grooves 27. The clamping rod 15 is inserted and installed on the corresponding second fixed rod 23 through the adjustment groove 26, while the sliding groove 27 is slidably installed on the corresponding limiting block 24. Through the adjustable clamping rod 15, the clamping position of the clamping rod 15 can be adjusted according to the crucibles of different diameters.
[0024] It should be noted that this utility model is a sintering crucible unloading device. When unloading the crucible from the combustion furnace, the column 1 can be manually pushed by the handle 4, causing the column 1 to move in conjunction with the bottom moving platform 2, so that the clamping mechanism 11 is positioned above the crucible. Subsequently, the first motor 7 can be started by the controller 3. Then, the drive screw 16 of the first motor 7 rotates in the screw hole of the slider 9, causing the slider 9 to move downward between the two guide shafts 8. Thus, the slider 9 drives the entire clamping mechanism 11 downward through the gearbox 10 and the L-shaped carrier plate 18. After the two clamping rods 15 are respectively placed on one side of the crucible, the slider 9 is started by the controller 3, causing the second motor 19 to drive one of the gears 13 to rotate. The two gears 13 mesh with each other, thereby causing the two gears 13 to synchronously drive the outer first fixed rod 20 to rotate. This causes the first fixing rod 20 to work with the connecting rod 21 to move the two mounting seats 14 towards the crucible by moving the front clamping rods 15. The crucible is then clamped and fixed by the two clamping rods 15. Then, the controller 3 controls the first motor 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, which drives the lead screw 16 to rotate in the screw hole of the slider 9. This controls the slider 9 to move upward between the two guide shafts 8, thereby removing the crucible from the combustion furnace. Subsequently, the crucible can be transferred by the moving platform 2 and the column 1. During unloading, the unloading height of the crucible is adjusted by the slider 9. Then, the controller 3 starts the third motor 28, which drives the turntable 17 to rotate through the slider 9. The turntable 17 then drives the entire clamping mechanism 11 to rotate through the L-shaped carrier plate 18, which in turn drives the crucible to rotate to one side for unloading.
