Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crucible technology, and in particular to a crucible device that facilitates material discharge. Background Technology
[0002] A crucible is a container used for melting and refining molten metals, as well as for heating and reacting solids and liquids. Crucibles are generally made of porcelain. Types include porcelain crucibles, iron crucibles, and alumina crucibles. Crucibles can withstand high temperatures and are used to calcify precipitates, melt salts that do not react with the crucible, and dehydrate hydrated crystals.
[0003] In existing technologies, most traditional crucible equipment suffers from numerous drawbacks. The most prominent is the difficulty in the material discharge stage. Due to its simple structure and lack of dedicated auxiliary discharge devices, the discharge operation is extremely difficult and inherently risky. After material processing, operators often rely on simple tools, such as iron bars or crowbars, to pry or knock the crucible to expel the material. This primitive discharge method is fraught with disadvantages. Firstly, the limited operating space forces operators to be in close contact with the high-temperature crucible; a slight mishap can easily result in burns from the scalding material or the crucible wall, posing a serious threat to personal safety. Secondly, the hard impact between tools and the crucible not only easily causes scratches and dents on the surface but also, over time, damages the crucible material and internal structure, significantly shortening its lifespan and increasing production costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a crucible device that facilitates material discharge.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A crucible device for easy discharge includes an outer tank, a cover, a crucible body, and a fixing frame. The bottom of the cover is provided with a support frame. The crucible body is set in the support frame by a positioning mechanism. The fixing frame is provided with a mounting plate by a limiting mechanism. The mounting plate is provided with a drive shaft by a drive motor. The fixing frame is provided with a track opening corresponding to the drive shaft. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the cover and cooperates with the fixing frame by a meshing mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning block installed at the bottom of the crucible body, and the inner bottom wall of the support frame is provided with a positioning opening corresponding to the positioning block.
[0008] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes a limiting block mounted on the mounting plate, and the back of the fixing frame is provided with a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting block.
[0009] Preferably, the meshing mechanism includes a gear mounted on a drive shaft, and the fixed frame is provided with a rack that meshes with the gear.
[0010] Preferably, the fixing frame is provided with a support platform, and the support platform is provided with a top rod corresponding to the positioning block and the positioning port.
[0011] Preferably, the cross-sectional view of the vertical portion of the limiting groove is T-shaped, and the limiting block as a whole is T-shaped cylinder.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. By cooperating with the positioning block at the bottom of the crucible body and the positioning port on the inner bottom wall of the support frame, the horizontal movement of the crucible body within the support frame can be effectively prevented, ensuring the stability of the crucible position during processing. This reduces problems such as material spillage and uneven heating caused by crucible shaking and displacement, thus ensuring processing quality and safety.
[0014] 2. The T-shaped cylindrical limiting block and the limiting groove work together. The vertical part of the limiting groove has a T-shaped cross-section, which prevents the mounting plate from detaching from the fixed frame, while allowing the limiting block to move flexibly within the groove. This allows the mounting plate and its auxiliary components to be adjusted as needed on the fixed frame, maintaining the stability of the overall structure and laying the foundation for the smooth operation of the equipment.
[0015] 3. With the help of a specially designed meshing mechanism, the drive motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate. The gear meshes with the inverted U-shaped rack, realizing the action of the lid and other components first rising, then moving horizontally and then falling. At the same time, with the support platform's top rod, the crucible body can be accurately lifted, allowing it to be smoothly removed horizontally from the support frame notch. This greatly simplifies the material discharge process, improves production efficiency, and reduces the difficulty of material removal. It is especially suitable for scenarios where high-temperature and highly corrosive materials are difficult to directly pour out after processing. 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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A crucible device for easy discharge includes an outer tank 1, a cover 2, a crucible body 4 and a fixing frame 5. The bottom of the cover 2 is provided with a support frame 3. The above components constitute the main part of the crucible device.
[0023] The crucible body 4 is positioned within the support frame 3 via a positioning mechanism. A mounting plate 16 is mounted on the fixed frame 5 via a limiting mechanism. A drive shaft 6 is mounted on the mounting plate 16 via a drive motor 8. The fixed frame 5 has a track opening 7 corresponding to the drive shaft 6. The drive shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the cover 2. Because the cover 2 and other components have a certain weight, the cover 2 will not rotate with the drive shaft 6. The drive shaft 6 engages with the fixed frame 5 via a meshing mechanism.
[0024] The positioning mechanism includes a positioning block 14 installed at the bottom of the crucible body 4, and a positioning opening 15 corresponding to the positioning block 14 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the support frame 3. When the crucible body 4 is placed inside the support frame 3, the positioning block 14 is located inside the positioning opening 15, which can prevent the crucible body 4 from moving horizontally inside the support frame 3 and play a role in positioning stability.
[0025] The limiting mechanism includes a limiting block mounted on the mounting plate 16, and a limiting groove 13 corresponding to the limiting block is provided on the back of the fixing frame 5. The cross-sectional view of the vertical part of the limiting groove 13 is T-shaped, and the limiting block is T-shaped cylindrical in shape. The design of the above components and their shapes prevents the mounting plate 16 from detaching from the fixing frame 5, and the limiting block can move within the limiting groove 13, accommodating the movement and adjustment of the mounting plate 16 and other components on the fixing frame 5.
[0026] The meshing mechanism includes a gear 9 mounted on the drive shaft 6, and a rack 10 that meshes with the gear 9 is provided on the fixed frame 5. As shown in the figure, the rack 10 has an inverted U-shaped design. This design allows the drive shaft 6 and other components to first rise, then move horizontally, and finally fall when the gear 9 rotates.
[0027] The fixed frame 5 is provided with a support platform 11, and the support platform 11 is provided with a push rod 12 corresponding to the positioning block 14 and the positioning port 15. When the components such as the carrier frame 3 are moved to be placed on the support platform 11, the positioning port 15 corresponds to the push rod 12, and the push rod 12 can enter the positioning port 15. With the help of the positioning block 14, the crucible body 4 is lifted, and then the crucible body 4 can be smoothly removed horizontally through the notch of the carrier frame 3.
[0028] When this utility model is in use, the metal, ore, glass and other materials to be processed are placed inside the crucible body 4. During processing, the cover 2 is placed on the outer tank 1 to close the outer tank 1. When the material is discharged after processing, the drive motor 8 is started to drive the transmission shaft 6 and gear 9 to rotate. As the gear 9 rotates and meshes with the rack 10, the cover 2 and other components can first rise, then move horizontally and finally fall. The support frame 3 is above the support platform 11, and the top rod 12 is in the positioning port 15. The crucible body 4 is lifted by the positioning block 14, which makes it easier to take it out of the support frame 3, and thus makes it easier to remove the material from the crucible body 4.
[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
