Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of aluminum alloy smelting, and particularly relates to a smelting furnace for aluminum alloy production. BACKGROUND

[0002] The smelting furnace for aluminum is a novel high-efficiency energy-saving furnace developed according to the aluminum smelting process, which can well meet the requirements in the aluminum smelting process, such as strict alloy component requirements, discontinuous production, large single-furnace capacity and the like, and has the effects of reducing consumption, reducing burning loss, improving product quality, reducing labor intensity, improving labor conditions and improving production efficiency, and is suitable for intermittent operation and smelting of alloys and a large amount of return materials. When the smelting furnace for aluminum is used for melting aluminum, the heat generated by the combustion of fuel in the furnace is discharged to the outside along with the exhaust gas of the smelting furnace for aluminum, resulting in a large amount of heat loss. At present, in order to prevent a large amount of heat loss, the air entering the furnace for combustion is preheated in a heat recovery mode. However, the flue gas contains unburned fuel dust, and the preheating and discharge of the air will cause waste of fuel. In addition, the dust contained in the flue gas is usually transported to a dust removal workshop for dust removal. However, the flue gas transportation requires a large amount of sealed pipelines, which leads to high cost of flue gas dust removal and a large amount of manpower for maintenance of the long pipelines. If leakage occurs, the surrounding environment will be polluted and the health of people will be affected.

[0003] The existing patent with the publication number "CN 215524223 U" discloses a "new heat cycle smelting furnace for aluminum", which comprises a smelting furnace body, a heat cycle unit and a dust removal unit. The smelting furnace body is connected by an exhaust pipe between the exhaust port on the upper end side and the air inlet on the middle side of the dust removal barrel. The heat cycle unit comprises a connecting pipe, an air induction fan, a blower and an air inlet pipe. The right end of the air inlet pipe is connected with the air inlet on the lower end side of the smelting furnace body, and the left end of the air inlet pipe is connected with the air outlet of the blower. The two ends of the connecting pipe are fixedly connected with the side surface of the middle part of the exhaust pipe and the side surface of the middle part of the air inlet pipe, respectively, and the connecting pipe communicates the interiors of the exhaust pipe and the air inlet pipe. The air induction fan is installed on the connecting pipe. The new heat cycle smelting furnace for aluminum can circulate the flue gas generated by the smelting furnace for aluminum, reduce heat loss, and directly remove the discharged flue gas without transporting the flue gas, thereby reducing the labor loss of transporting the flue gas and avoiding leakage of the flue gas during transportation. However, the smelting furnace for aluminum uses an atomizing nozzle to extract water mist to spray on the flue gas for dust removal, which can effectively prevent dust from floating, but the spraying of water mist will reduce the heat in the flue gas, causing heat loss and reducing the efficiency of the heat cycle unit. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0004] The utility model intends to provide a smelting furnace for aluminum alloy production to solve the problem that the spraying of water mist for dust removal in the existing patent greatly reduces the heat in the flue gas, thereby reducing the efficiency of the heat cycle unit.

[0005] The application discloses a smelting furnace for aluminum alloy production, which comprises a furnace body and a vortex chamber.

[0006] The working principle of the application is as follows: when in use, flue gas in the vortex chamber enters the exhaust pipe with dust and heat, and then enters the dust removal pipe in the dust collection box, wherein only flue gas can pass through the dust removal pipe, so that the dust adheres to the outer wall of the dust removal pipe, and the flue gas with heat enters the dust collection box and then reenters the furnace body through the heat recovery pipeline connected to the dust collection box to heat the aluminum alloy.

[0007] The device can effectively remove dust from the flue gas discharged through the dust removal pipe, and directly discharge the flue gas with heat after dust removal into the furnace body through the heat recovery pipeline for heat recovery, so that the heat recovery efficiency of the smelting furnace is effectively improved, the heating time and the temperature rising time of the smelting furnace are shortened, and the damage of dust floating in the air to the body of workers can be effectively avoided.

[0008] Further, the vibration mechanism is arranged at the position close to the upper end of the dust removal pipe, the side wall of the exhaust pipe and the side wall of the dust collection box are communicated with the dust collection pipe, and the middle part of the dust collection pipe is provided with a dust suction pump.

[0009] Further, the dust removal pipes are arranged in a circular array, the vibration mechanism comprises a vibrator and a vibration ring, the vibration ring is located at the center of the dust removal pipes and is fixedly connected with the dust removal pipes, the vibrator is coaxial with the vibration ring, and a plurality of connecting rods are arranged between the vibrator and the vibration ring, and two ends of the connecting rods are fixedly connected with the vibrator and the vibration ring, respectively.

[0010] Further, the plurality of dust removal pipes are fixedly connected to the exhaust pipe at one end, and the plurality of dust removal pipes are grid-shaped pipes that allow only flue gas and heat to pass through from the connection point to the fixed connection point of the exhaust pipe. The grid-shaped pipes facilitate the flue gas to enter the dust collection box from the exhaust pipe, while the dust with larger particles adheres to the dust removal pipes.

[0011] Further, the middle part of the exhaust pipe is provided with a valve between the vortex chamber and the dust removal pipe. The valve can temporarily close the exhaust pipe between the vortex chamber and the dust removal pipe when dust removal is needed, so that the flue gas temporarily stops entering the dust removal pipe, facilitating the cleaning of the dust extraction pump.

[0012] Further, the end of the plurality of dust removal pipes away from the exhaust pipe closes the communication between the heat recovery pipe and the dust collection box. This can effectively reduce the occurrence of dust entering the heat recovery pipe.

[0013] Further, the middle part of the heat recovery pipe is provided with an induced draft fan. The induced draft fan can effectively accelerate the speed of heat circulation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0020] Specific implementation process is as follows: when using, the flue gas carries dust and is discharged from exhaust pipe 9, and enters six dust removal pipes 6 through exhaust pipe 9, and because dust removal pipe 6 can only pass through flue gas and heat, most of the dust is collected in dust removal pipe 6, so that flue gas and heat can directly enter dust collection tank 4 through dust removal pipe 6 or directly enter furnace body 1 through heat recovery pipe 2, and induced draft fan 3 can accelerate the flow of flue gas and heat, so that the heat circulation process is more rapid;

[0021] When the dust in dust removal pipe 6 accumulates too much, then vibrator 51 can be started, vibrator 51 passes through connecting rod 52 and brings vibration to vibration ring 53, and vibration ring 53 vibrates dust removal pipe 6, and the dust in dust removal pipe 6 falls back into exhaust pipe 9, at this time, valve 10 can be closed, and dust pump 8 is started, and the fallen dust is extracted from exhaust pipe 9, and the dust with too small particles in dust collection tank 4 is also extracted and collected in the collection tank outside for centralized treatment.
