[0003] CN213811687U discloses a refining furnace for Barbie alloy wire in melting and processing. This patent involves manual feeding, resulting in high labor intensity for workers, low feeding efficiency, and the inability to crush materials, leading to slow and ineffective melting of large pieces within the refining furnace, thus reducing production efficiency.

However, this device is costly and cannot achieve integrated smelting and refining. In summary, existing technologies typically involve smelting and refining within different equipment. Furnaces operating within a single unit are generally tiltable, requiring complex and expensive tilting mechanisms to support refining operations, resulting in high equipment costs and high furnace repair and maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for improvements to the existing combined alloy smelting and refining furnace. Utility Model Content

[0032] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the combined alloy smelting and refining furnace lining structure provided by this utility model, including:

[0033] Furnace body 1, which includes a detachably connected furnace bottom layer, furnace body layer and slag-blocking layer;

[0034] The permanent layer is set on the inner side of the furnace body. The permanent layer includes the furnace bottom permanent layer 2, the furnace body permanent layer 3, and the slag retaining ring permanent layer 4.

[0035] The recycled material filling layer 5 is located inside the permanent layer and is situated as a whole in the furnace body layer and the furnace bottom layer.

[0036] Working layer 6 is located inside the recycled material filling layer 5 and is situated entirely within the furnace body layer and the furnace bottom layer; and

[0037] The slag discharge pipe 7 runs through the furnace body 1, the permanent layer (furnace body permanent layer 3), the recycled material filling layer 5, and the working layer 6 to connect the space inside and outside the furnace.

[0038] Furthermore, the permanent layer is formed by casting refractory material.

[0039] Furthermore, the furnace body 1 is a circular steel furnace, and the bottom layer, the furnace body layer, and the slag-blocking layer are detachably connected by a flange structure. The refractory material used in this furnace body can be corundum (Al2O3>98%).

[0040] Furthermore, the slag discharge pipe 7 is inclined, and the angle between the axis of the slag discharge pipe and the vertical direction is 70~80°.

[0041] Furthermore, working layer 6 is a corundum working layer, which is formed by knotting refractory materials. The knotted working layer is fixed to the furnace body using molds, and the refractory material is added and compacted to achieve the structure of the refractory layer inside the furnace. Alternatively, it can be prefabricated in sections as needed and then assembled into the entire furnace body. After the smelting furnace is naturally cooled in the cooling zone, the furnace body and bottom are disassembled. The alloy ingots deposited at the bottom are sent for processing into finished products. The furnace lining material from the dismantling furnace is recycled and crushed for use as filler material in the next furnace preparation. The slag obtained from smelting is cleaned, crushed into qualified particle size, and used to replenish the refractory material lost during the smelting process. Excess corundum slag can be processed and sold as refractory material, realizing the comprehensive utilization of solid waste metallurgical slag.

[0042] Furthermore, multiple lifting lugs 8 are provided on the outer side of the furnace body 1, and the multiple lifting lugs 8 are symmetrically distributed on the furnace body, such as... Figure 1 As shown, four lifting lugs are provided on the outside of the furnace body 1, with two lugs symmetrically distributed in a group on the slag baffle ring and the furnace body layer, so that the hanging device can hook the furnace body through the lifting lugs.

[0043] Furthermore, a base is provided at the bottom of the furnace body 1, and the base is welded to the furnace body.

[0044] Furthermore, the furnace body, permanent layer, recycled material filling layer, and working layer are arranged coaxially.

[0045] In another aspect, this utility model also provides a combined smelting and refining furnace having the above-mentioned furnace lining structure.

[0046] The method of using the combined smelting and refining furnace provided by this utility model is as follows: the prepared materials react in the furnace body to produce high-temperature liquid slag and high-temperature molten alloy liquid. During the process, an electric arc furnace can be equipped to heat the materials in the furnace, accelerate the reaction and ensure sufficient slag-metal separation. After the furnace charge has reacted completely, after a period of settling and slag-metal separation, the liquid smelting slag focuses on the upper part of the furnace body, and the liquid metal (alloy) liquid focuses on the lower part of the furnace body. The slag outlet located on the upper part of the metal (alloy) liquid is opened to release the smelting slag, and then the slag outlet is sealed. The refined material is added into the furnace for refining and impurity removal. After refining is completed, the entire furnace body is cooled in the cooling zone. After cooling, the furnace body is disassembled, the metal (alloy) product is taken out, and the furnace body is reassembled for the next batch of smelting and refining.

[0047] This method effectively shortens the process flow and reduces the introduction of impurities. This invention is safe, reliable, easy to operate, and ingeniously conceived. The furnace body is manufactured using a segmented prefabrication and assembly method, shortening the manufacturing cycle and improving production efficiency. Molds are made from materials with the same alloy composition, such as aluminum foil, and the furnace lining is made from pure filler material or smelting slag. This ensures no impurities are introduced during production, guaranteeing product quality. The filler material can be reused, and the manufacturing process generates virtually no waste, achieving cost savings and clean production. The smelted filler material remains a loose, powdery refractory material, making furnace disassembly convenient and reducing labor intensity. The refractory material used for filling can be slag produced during smelting, reducing impurity contamination and achieving waste recycling.

[0048] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has lower cost, simpler and more reliable structure, more convenient operation, no residue in the furnace, allows for quick switching between different varieties, does not introduce impurities during the process, and the refractory material can be completely recycled, making it more environmentally friendly and the process stable.

[0049] This invention is simple to operate and is of great significance in improving the on-site environment, increasing production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and reducing labor intensity and production costs. It provides strong process equipment support for enterprises' strategic policy of "reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and achieving high-efficiency production," thereby greatly enhancing their market competitiveness. This invention will have a significant promoting effect on related fields both within and outside the metallurgical industry, and even abroad. It is conducive to improving the quality and reducing the cost of metal materials products and has positive significance for the production and application of high-end materials in my country.
