[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0016] As Figures 1-3 shown. A heat exchange crystallizer for processing oxygen-free copper pole by up-drawing continuous casting method, comprising a sleeve pipe 3, a porous layer 2 is arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve pipe 3, an outer shell 4 is arranged outside the sleeve pipe 3, a cavity is formed between the outer shell 4 and the outer wall of the sleeve pipe 3, a medium inlet 1 and a medium outlet 5 are arranged on the outer shell 4, a protective sleeve 6 is arranged at one end of the sleeve pipe 3, a graphite pipe 7 is arranged in the sleeve pipe 3 at the end close to the protective sleeve 6, the inner diameter of the graphite pipe 7 is equal to the inner diameter of the sleeve pipe 3, the graphite pipe 7 extends to the outside of the protective sleeve 6, and a traction rod 8 is arranged in the sleeve pipe 3.

[0017] The sleeve 3 and the porous layer 2 are both made of copper. The medium outlet 5 is located close to the protective sleeve 6, and the medium inlet 1 is located away from the protective sleeve 6. The protective sleeve 6 comprises an outer layer 10 (made of silicon carbide / graphite) and a heat insulation layer 9 (made of asbestos / glass fiber). The sleeve 3 is internally provided with a counterbore 11 at one end close to the protective sleeve 6, and the graphite pipe 7 is installed at the position of the counterbore 11. The thickness of the porous layer 2 is 0.3-0.5 mm, and the porosity is about 50%-60%.

[0018] In use, the holes on the surface of the porous layer 2 are through the body of the porous layer 2, and the outer wall of the sleeve 3 is capable of being in communication with the cavity between the shell 4 and the outer wall of the sleeve 3. The cooling and heat exchange medium in the shell 4 forms a vaporization core in the form of a film on the surface of the porous layer 2 in the process of heat exchange, and realizes high-efficiency heat exchange of the cooling and heat exchange medium under the action of boiling heat transfer at low supercooling degree. The cooling and heat exchange medium is cooling water, and the water pressure of the cooling water is 0.1 MPa-0.3 MPa. The circulating direction of the cooling water is opposite to the traction direction of the traction rod 8. Under the countercurrent heat exchange, higher-efficiency heat exchange can be realized. The protective sleeve 6 at the end of the crystallizer comprises the outer layer 10 and the heat insulation layer 9, so that the crystallizer immersed in the copper liquid cannot penetrate into the copper liquid. In addition, the part directly contacted with the copper liquid is selected to be the graphite sleeve 3. The graphite sleeve 3 is connected with the sleeve 3 made of pure copper. The graphite sleeve 3 is a consumable and needs to be replaced regularly. The traction rod 8 plays a role in guiding the copper liquid to move along the direction of the graphite pipe 7. The traction speed of the copper rod is generally 1.5 mm / min, and the pitch is 3 pitches.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] φ8 mm oxygen-free copper rods are processed by using the up-drawing continuous casting method in a three-body furnace composed of a melting furnace, a transition furnace and a holding furnace. Dry electrolytic copper sheets and charcoal are added to the melting furnace, the temperature of the melting furnace is adjusted to 1160℃, and the liquid level height of the copper liquid is kept at 300℃. The melted copper liquid is self-flowed to the transition bin for static decontamination. The surface of the copper liquid is paved with 150 mm of charcoal and graphite scales for further reduction and purification of the copper liquid. The graphite crystallizer is inserted into the copper liquid, the lead-in rod is connected, the inlet water temperature is 15℃, the outlet water temperature is 25℃, the water pressure of the cooling water is 0.2 MPa, the traction speed of the copper rod is 1.5 mm / min, and the pitch is 3 pitches. After the copper rod is drawn out, the lead-in rod is disconnected in sections, and enters the take-up system through the guide wheel frame, the intermediate bracket and the limiting device. The produced copper rod is subjected to sampling inspection, and the results show that the oxygen content of the oxygen-free copper rod is 8 ppm, the resistivity is 0.01705 Ω·mm2 / m, and the tensile strength is 390 MPa.

[0021] Example 2

[0022] φ8mm processing oxygen-free copper rod is carried out in a three-body furnace composed of a melting furnace, a transition furnace and a holding furnace by using the up-drawing continuous casting method. Dry electrolytic copper sheet and charcoal are added into the melting furnace, the temperature of the melting furnace is adjusted to 1160 DEG C, and the liquid level height of the copper liquid is kept at 300 DEG C. The melted copper liquid flows into the transition furnace for static impurity removal, 150mm charcoal and graphite scales are laid on the surface of the copper liquid for further reduction and purification of the copper liquid. The porous layer graphite crystallizer is inserted into the copper liquid, the drawing rod is prepared by connecting the drawing rod, the inlet water temperature is 15 DEG C, the outlet water temperature is 35 DEG C, and the cooling water pressure is 0.2 MPa, so that the heat exchange efficiency is higher. The drawing speed of the copper rod is 1.5mm / min, and the pitch is 3 pitches. After the copper rod is drawn out, the drawing rod is disassembled in sections, and enters the take-up system through the guide wheel frame, the intermediate bracket and the limiting device, the copper rod produced is sampled and tested, and the results show that the oxygen content of the oxygen-free copper rod is 5ppm, the resistivity is 0.01705 omega*mm2 / m, and the tensile strength is 390MPa.

[0023] The comparison of the two embodiments is that, at the same inlet temperature, the heat exchange efficiency of the porous layer structure crystallizer is higher than that of the conventional graphite crystallizer, the outlet water temperature is higher, and the heat exchange is more efficient.

[0024] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application.
