Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of induction furnace feeding technology, and more specifically, to an induction furnace feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Induction furnaces utilize the principle of electromagnetic induction, generating a high-frequency alternating magnetic field in the induction coil through an alternating power supply. This causes eddy currents to form inside the metal, generating a large amount of heat, thereby heating or melting the metal.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the Chinese utility model disclosure CN219735967U, a feeding device for a vacuum induction furnace is provided. This device includes a support frame, which is detachably connected to the inner side wall of the vacuum induction furnace. A material carrier is mounted on the support frame, in which cylindrical rod-shaped metal materials are stored vertically side-by-side. One side of the material carrier is located directly above the crucible inlet, and a discharge port is located below this side. Above the discharge port is a feeding assembly fixed to the material carrier, which pushes the material below it from the discharge port into the crucible. A pushing assembly is located on the side of the material carrier away from the discharge port, which pushes the metal material in the material carrier towards the discharge port. This utility model allows for mid-process feeding of the vacuum induction furnace without opening the furnace lid, further avoiding interference from air in metal melting and resulting in a higher purity and better quality of the final alloy.
[0004] In the aforementioned feeding device, since the feeding component is installed inside the induction furnace, the high temperature generated when the induction furnace is working will bake the feeding component, which may cause the feeding component to be easily damaged.
[0005] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an induction furnace feeding device.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] An induction furnace feeding device includes a base, a support assembly and a support frame mounted on the base. The induction furnace body is mounted on the support assembly. The support frame is located on both sides of the support assembly. A material storage mechanism is provided on the top of the support frame. A feeding mechanism for feeding the induction furnace body is installed below the material storage mechanism on the support frame.
[0009] The feeding mechanism includes a fixed frame, which is mounted on a support frame. An electric push rod is installed at one end of the fixed frame. The piston rod of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to a receiving funnel. The receiving funnel is slidably connected to the fixed frame. The discharge port at the lower end of the receiving funnel is connected to a guide pipe for feeding the induction furnace body. A control valve is installed on the guide pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the storage mechanism includes a storage box, a stepper motor is installed on one side of the storage box, the output shaft of the stepper motor is fixedly connected to a feeding roller, and the lower end of the other side of the storage box is connected to a discharge port for use with the feeding mechanism.
[0011] Furthermore, a slider is fixedly connected at a symmetrical position on the receiving funnel, and the slider is slidably connected to the fixed frame.
[0012] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a support base, the bottom end of which is fixed to the base, and a movable seat is hinged to the top of the support base. The induction furnace body is mounted on the movable seat, and cylinders are provided on both sides of the movable seat, with one end of each cylinder mounted on the base.
[0013] Furthermore, shock-absorbing pads are fixedly connected at symmetrical positions on the bottom of the movable seat, with one end of the shock-absorbing pads fitting against the surface of the base.
[0014] Furthermore, the cross-section of the feed pipe is smaller than the cross-section of the feed inlet at the top of the induction furnace body, and the feed pipe is located above the induction furnace body.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The support frame facilitates the installation of the storage mechanism, and a feeding mechanism is installed below it. This allows workers to easily transport materials from the storage mechanism to the induction furnace body for processing. This not only simplifies the feeding process but also enhances worker convenience, preventing injury during feeding and processing and improving the safety of feeding materials into the induction furnace body. Furthermore, the location of both the feeding and storage mechanisms outside the induction furnace body ensures their longevity. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example: A feeding device for an induction furnace, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a base 1, a support assembly 2 and a support frame 4 mounted on the base 1. The induction furnace body 3 is mounted on the support assembly 2. The support frames 4 are located on both sides of the support assembly 2. A storage mechanism 5 is located on the top of the support frame 4. A feeding mechanism 6 for feeding the induction furnace body 3 is installed below the storage mechanism 5 on the support frame 4. The support frame 4 facilitates the installation of the storage mechanism 5, and the feeding mechanism 6 below it allows workers to easily transport materials from the storage mechanism 5 to the induction furnace body 3 for processing. This not only facilitates feeding the induction furnace body 3 but also makes it easier for workers to operate. Feeding during furnace operation prevents injury to workers and improves the safety of feeding the induction furnace body 3. Furthermore, the feeding mechanism 6 and the storage mechanism 5 are located outside the induction furnace body 3, ensuring their longevity.
[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the storage mechanism 5 includes a storage bin 51. A stepper motor 52 is installed on one side of the storage bin 51, and a feeding roller 53 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 52. The lower end of the other side of the storage bin 51 is connected to a discharge port 54 for use with the feeding mechanism 6. By setting up the storage bin 51, materials can be stored. The materials are in the form of fragments. Then, the stepper motor 52 provides driving force to drive the feeding roller 53 to rotate, thereby dropping the materials in the storage bin 51 into the feeding mechanism 6 through the discharge port 54. The feeding roller 53 is a spiral roller, and the materials are pushed to the discharge port 54 under the rotation of the feeding roller 53.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 6 includes a fixed frame 61, which is fixed on the support frame 4. An electric push rod 62 is installed at one end of the fixed frame 61. The piston rod of the electric push rod 62 is fixedly connected to a receiving funnel 63. The receiving funnel 63 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 61. The discharge port at the lower end of the receiving funnel 63 is connected to a guide pipe 64 for feeding the induction furnace body 3. A control valve 65 is installed on the guide pipe 64. The fixed frame 61 provides support for the electric push rod 62 and the receiving hopper 63. The electric push rod 62 provides driving force to push the receiving hopper 63 to slide on the fixed frame 61, moving the receiving hopper 63 to the discharge port 54 of the storage box 51 to receive the material. Then, the electric push rod 62 again moves the receiving hopper 63 to the loading port of the induction furnace body 3, and then the material falls into the induction furnace body 3 through the guide pipe 64. During the falling process, the opening and closing of the guide pipe 64 can be controlled by the control valve 65.
[0025] A slider 7 is fixedly connected at a symmetrical position on the receiving hopper 63, and the slider 7 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 61. Through the sliding cooperation between the slider 7 and the fixed frame 61, the receiving hopper 63 can move easily on the fixed frame 61, and the movement is more stable.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly 2 includes a support base 21, the bottom of which is fixed to the base 1. A movable seat 22 is hinged to the top of the support base 21. The induction furnace body 3 is mounted on the movable seat 22. Cylinders 23 are provided on both sides of the movable seat 22, with one end of each cylinder 23 mounted on the base 1. By coordinating the support base 21 and the movable seat 22, the mounting position of the induction furnace body 3 is provided. The movable seat 22 is rotated and adjusted by the cylinders 23, thereby facilitating the discharge of processed materials from the induction furnace body 3.
[0027] A shock-absorbing pad 24 is fixedly connected at a symmetrical position at the bottom of the movable base 22. One end of the shock-absorbing pad 24 is in contact with the surface of the base 1, which can provide shock absorption between the movable base 22 and the base 1, thereby enhancing the shock absorption effect of the induction furnace body 3.
[0028] The cross-section of the guide pipe 64 is smaller than the cross-section of the top feed port of the induction furnace body 3, which facilitates the feeding of materials through the guide pipe 64. The guide pipe 64 is located above the induction furnace body 3, which makes it less likely for the material in the guide pipe 64 to spill to the outside during the feeding process, thus reducing the loss of materials when feeding the induction furnace body 3.
[0029] In use, the material is loaded into the storage box 51. The electric push rod 62 drives the receiving funnel 63 to move to the discharge port 54 of the storage box 51. Then, the stepper motor 52 drives the feeding roller 53 to rotate, so that the material in the storage box 51 falls into the receiving funnel 63 through the discharge port 54. Then, the electric push rod 62 drives the receiving funnel 63 to move to the feeding port of the induction furnace body 3. The material falls into the induction furnace body 3 through the guide pipe 64. During the material feeding process, the opening and closing of the guide pipe 64 can be controlled by the control valve 65.
[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
