For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. Embodiment

[0034] As Figures 1-5 Indicated, the utility model provides a kind of high-efficiency metal casting smelting equipment based on double heating source cooperation, including smelting furnace main body 1, internally provided with induction heating coil 2, for carrying out induction heating to metal raw material.The top is equipped with waste gas export pipe 15 and feed inlet 14, waste gas export pipe 15 is communicated with smelting furnace main body 1 inside, and waste gas generated in smelting process is exported.Feed inlet 14 is used to input metal raw material.

[0035] Heat conducting oil circulation system, it is spirally wound that its heat conducting oil pipeline 33 is arranged on the outside of smelting furnace main body 1.Heat conducting oil pipeline 33 is equipped with heat conducting oil inlet 31 and heat conducting oil outlet 32, and heat conducting oil inlet 31 is located at upper end, and heat conducting oil outlet 32 is located at lower end.Heat conducting oil inlet 31 and heat conducting oil outlet 32 are connected with heat conducting oil heating device respectively, and heat is transferred to smelting furnace main body 1 by the circulation flow of heat conducting oil, to realize auxiliary heating.

[0036] Waste heat recovery device 4 is connected with waste gas export pipe 15, and includes waste gas preheating coil 42, electric regulating valve 43 and waste gas discharge outlet 41.

[0037] The exhaust gas preheating coil 42 is coiled inside the raw material preheating zone 8, with the inlet 421 connected to the exhaust gas outlet pipe 15 and the outlet 422 connected to the exhaust gas outlet 41. The exhaust gas preheating coil 42 is made of high-temperature-resistant alloy material, such as Inconel 600, and has a corrosion-resistant coating on the surface, such as enamel coating. The exhaust gas preheating coil 42 includes a converging section and a diverging section. The converging section starts from the inlet 421 and the pipe diameter gradually decreases. The length of the converging section can be determined according to the overall length of the coil, for example, the length of the converging section can account for 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the overall length of the coil. The converging ratio can be determined according to the initial flow rate of the exhaust gas and the maximum flow rate expected to be achieved, and generally the pipe diameter can be reduced to 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the initial pipe diameter. The diverging section is after the converging section, and the pipe diameter gradually increases to the outlet 422. The length of the diverging section also needs to be designed according to the actual situation, and generally can be similar to the length of the converging section.

[0038] When the exhaust gas enters the part with gradually decreasing diameter, the flow rate of the exhaust gas increases. According to the principle of heat transfer, the faster the flow rate of the fluid, the larger the convective heat transfer coefficient between the fluid and the surrounding object, which is the raw material here. The increase in convective heat transfer coefficient means that more heat is transferred from the exhaust gas to the raw material per unit time, thereby enhancing the heat exchange efficiency.

[0039] When the exhaust gas passes through the converging section and enters the part with gradually increasing diameter, although the flow rate decreases, the pressure increase helps the exhaust gas to better contact and transfer heat with the raw material around the coil, further promoting the transfer of heat from the exhaust gas to the raw material.

[0040] The change in exhaust gas flow rate will form stronger turbulence in the coil. Turbulence can make the flow of exhaust gas in the coil more chaotic, reducing the thickness of the boundary layer. The boundary layer refers to a layer of fluid with low flow rate near the surface of the solid when the fluid contacts the surface of the solid, which hinders heat transfer. After the turbulence is enhanced, the boundary layer becomes thinner, and heat is more easily transferred from the exhaust gas to the coil and then from the coil to the raw material, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0041] The electric regulating valve 43 is installed at the inlet of the exhaust gas outlet pipe 15 or the exhaust gas preheating coil 42 and is electrically connected to the control system 7 for regulating the exhaust gas flow rate.

[0042] A temperature sensor 82 is provided in the raw material preheating zone 8 and is electrically connected to the control system 7. The control system 7 controls the opening of the electric regulating valve 43 according to the temperature data monitored by the temperature sensor 82, adjusts the exhaust gas flow rate in real time, and further adjusts the preheating temperature of the raw material preheating zone 8.

[0043] The stirring shaft 5 extends into the smelting furnace body 1 and is connected to the driving motor 6, and is a hollow structure with a cooling medium passage 51 inside, with the inlet and outlet connected to the external cooling system 9. Through the stirring of the stirring shaft 5, the metal raw material is uniformly heated.

[0044] The control system 7 is electrically connected with the induction heating coil 2, the heat conducting oil circulation system, the driving motor 6, the electric regulating valve 43 and the temperature sensors 71 and 82 respectively. The temperature sensors 71 are uniformly distributed on the inner wall of the smelting furnace body 1, and the PID controller adjusts the power output of the induction heating coil 2 and the heat conducting oil circulation system according to the feedback signal of the temperature sensors 71, so as to realize precise control of the smelting temperature.

[0045] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0046] In use, the control system 7 is started, and parameters such as smelting temperature and waste gas flow are set; the metal raw materials are put into the smelting furnace body 1 through the electromagnetic vibration feeder 15 at the feeding port 14. During the heating process, the control system 7 starts the induction heating coil 2 and the heat conducting oil circulation system at the same time. The induction heating coil 2 performs induction heating on the metal raw materials, and the heat conducting oil enters the heat conducting oil pipeline 33 from the heat conducting oil inlet 31, flows around the smelting furnace body 1 and transfers heat to the metal raw materials, so as to realize the cooperative work of the double heating sources.

[0047] The high-temperature waste gas generated in the smelting process enters the waste heat recovery device 4 through the waste gas outlet pipe 15. The waste gas enters the waste gas preheating coil 42, which is coiled in the raw material preheating area 8, and preheats the raw materials.

[0048] The temperature sensor 82 in the raw material preheating area 8 monitors the raw material temperature in real time and feeds back the data to the control system 7. The control system 7 adjusts the opening degree of the electric regulating valve 43 according to the preset temperature range, controls the opening degree of the electric regulating valve 43, adjusts the waste gas flow and realizes the control of the raw material preheating temperature.

[0049] During the heating process, the driving motor 6 drives the stirring shaft 5 to rotate, stirs the metal raw materials in the smelting furnace body 1 and makes the raw materials evenly heated. At the same time, the external cooling system 9 introduces cooling medium into the stirring shaft 5 through the cooling medium channel 51, takes away the heat generated in the stirring process and prevents the stirring shaft 5 from being damaged due to high temperature.

[0050] When the smelting is completed, the control system 7 controls the rotatable discharge valve 13 to open. The inclined flow guide plate 12 at the bottom of the smelting furnace body 1 guides the molten metal to flow out smoothly.

[0051] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present application; however, the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any skilled person in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical scheme of the present application and the improved concept thereof within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
