As the amount of scrap steel increases, the tray gradually descends until it reaches an equilibrium state. When the weight of the scrap steel on the tray reaches the preset value, the balance bar tilts, triggering the feeding slide to open, and the scrap steel slides into the receiving bin. The scrap steel is heated to the desired temperature in the preheating bin. The clever design of the balance bar and the weight allows for accurate metering using a mechanical structure, reducing equipment costs and eliminating errors associated with traditional methods.

By adjusting the weight of the weight, the metering standard for the scrap steel can be set. When the scrap steel on the tray reaches the predetermined weight, the balance bar tilts, triggering the discharge slide plate to open, and the scrap steel slides into the receiving silo.
[0007] Furthermore, the support frame is equipped with a limiting rod. When the tray is unloaded, the tray is in contact with the limiting rod, and the height of the tray is higher than the height of the weight.
[0008] Furthermore, a receiving hopper is connected to one side of the preheating chamber, and a discharge hopper is connected to the other side. The receiving hopper is located below the discharge slide plate. A flue gas inlet is provided on one side of the discharge hopper, and an electric door is provided at the bottom of the discharge hopper. An infrared temperature sensor is installed inside the discharge hopper. The electric door, located at the bottom of the discharge hopper, is used to control the timing and amount of scrap steel discharge. The electric door at the bottom of the discharge hopper is used to monitor in real time whether the heated scrap steel meets the standards.
[0009] Furthermore, an auger is installed inside the receiving hopper, and a rotary motor is fixedly installed outside the receiving hopper. The output end of the rotary motor is connected to the auger for transmission, and one end of the auger passes through the preheating hopper and extends into the interior of the discharge hopper.
[0010] Furthermore, the discharge hopper and the preheating hopper are rotatably connected, and a transmission gear is fixedly connected to the side of the discharge hopper near the preheating hopper, and the transmission gear is coaxial with the preheating hopper.
[0011] Furthermore, a drive motor is installed on the preheating chamber, and a drive gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The drive gear meshes with a transmission gear. The discharge chamber and the heating chamber are rotatably connected through the transmission gear and the drive gear. The drive motor drives the discharge chamber to rotate through the drive gear, facilitating the adjustment of the discharge direction. Simultaneously, if the infrared temperature sensor detects that the temperature does not meet the standard, the discharge chamber is flipped, and then the auger is reversed to reheat the scrap steel, ensuring the success rate of preheating all scrap steel.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. The utility model discloses a waste steel is lifted to the metering assembly above from the storage bin through the elevator, and falls into the tray.

Through the ingenious design of the balance bar and the weight, the metering is realized by adopting the mechanical structure, the equipment cost is reduced, the accurate metering of waste steel is realized, and the error in the traditional method is avoided.
[0014] 2. When the infrared temperature measurement sensor detects that the temperature does not meet the standard, the discharge bin is turned over, then the auger is reversed to heat the waste steel again, and the success rate of preheating all waste steel is ensured.
