[0028] Example 1

[0029] A lifting stirring device for a vacuum induction furnace, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the furnace includes a connecting seat 2 located on the top of the vacuum induction furnace cover 1. A fixing frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the connecting seat 2. A linear guide rail 4 is provided on one side of the top outer wall of the fixing frame 3. The linear guide rail 4 consists of a frame, a guide rod, a slider, and a threaded rod. The linear guide rail 4 is a mature existing technology. A lifting motor is installed on the bottom outer wall of the fixing frame 3. The output shaft of the lifting motor is connected to the threaded rod in the linear guide rail 4. A positioning frame 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider in the linear guide rail 4. The inner wall of the fixing frame 3... A sliding connection is provided with a limiting cylinder 6. A rotary sealing seat 9 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the limiting cylinder 6. The side wall of the limiting cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the positioning frame 5. A stirring motor 11 is installed on the top outer wall of the rotary sealing seat 9. The output shaft of the stirring motor 11 is connected to a connecting rod 7 through a coupling 12. The connecting rod 7 is coaxial with the limiting cylinder 6 and slides with the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 6. Dynamic sealing components 10 are provided on the inner wall of the fixing frame 3 and the top inner wall of the limiting cylinder 6. A stirring rod 8 is connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 7.

[0030] The dynamic sealing assembly 10 includes a plurality of skeleton-shaped sealing rings 13 and an end cap 14. The plurality of skeleton-shaped sealing rings 13 are arranged in a straight stack. The skeleton-shaped sealing rings 13 are located on the inner wall of the fixing frame 3 and the limiting cylinder 6. The end cap 14 is detachably connected to the fixing frame 3 and the limiting cylinder 6. A gasket 15 is provided between the skeleton-shaped sealing rings 13 and the end cap 14.

[0031] Before melting the metal in the crucible, the lifting motor drives the threaded rod in the linear guide 4 to rotate, causing the slider in the linear guide 4 to move the positioning frame 5 upward, which in turn moves the limiting cylinder 6 upward, causing the stirring rod 8 to move upward and detach from the crucible. After the metal in the crucible melts, the slider in the linear guide 4 moves downward, causing the stirring rod 8 to move into the crucible. The stirring motor 11 drives the connecting rod 7 to rotate through the coupling 12, so that the stirring rod 8 stirs the metal solution in the crucible. At the same time, by controlling the depth of the stirring rod 8 in the crucible and the rotation speed of the stirring rod 8, the skeleton-shaped sealing ring 13 dynamically seals the limiting cylinder 6 and the fixing frame 3 during the movement of the limiting cylinder 6 and the rotation of the connecting rod 7, ensuring the vacuum of the vacuum induction furnace.

[0032] By using a linear guide rail 4 and a positioning frame 5 to move the stirring rod 8 up and down, the depth of the stirring rod 8 in the crucible can be controlled.

[0033] By incorporating a dynamic sealing assembly 10, dynamic sealing is achieved during the movement of the limiting cylinder 6 and the rotation of the connecting rod 7, thereby improving the sealing effect and ensuring the vacuum of the vacuum induction furnace.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] A lifting stirring device for a vacuum induction furnace is provided in this embodiment, which is based on Embodiment 1 and makes the following improvements, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the connecting rod 7 and the stirring rod 8 are connected by a connecting assembly, which includes a connecting sleeve 16 and a threaded sleeve 17. The connecting sleeve 16 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting rod 7, and the threaded sleeve 17 is slidably fitted to the outer wall of the stirring rod 8. The outer wall of the connecting sleeve 16 is provided with a boss that limits the engagement of the threaded sleeve 17. A limiting groove 18 is provided on the bottom side wall of the connecting rod 7, and the top end of the stirring rod 8 is limited to the limiting groove 18. The threaded sleeve 17 is threadedly engaged with the connecting sleeve 16.

[0036] When stirring different metal solutions, the stirring rod 8 needs to be replaced for better stirring effect. At this time, rotate the threaded sleeve 17 to move the threaded sleeve 17 downward along the stirring rod 8. After the threaded sleeve 17 is separated from the connecting sleeve 16, the connection between the stirring rod 8 and the connecting rod 7 can be disconnected. Then, insert the top of the new stirring rod 8 into the limiting groove 18, and then rotate the threaded sleeve 17 upward to connect the threaded sleeve 17 with the connecting sleeve 16, thus completing the replacement of the stirring rod 8.

[0037] By setting up a connecting component, the stirring rod 8 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, making it easy to replace the stirring rod 8 when stirring different metal solutions.

[0038] Working principle: Before melting the metal in the crucible, the lifting motor drives the threaded rod in the linear guide rail 4 to rotate, causing the slider in the linear guide rail 4 to move the positioning frame 5 upward, which in turn moves the limiting cylinder 6 upward, causing the stirring rod 8 to move upward and detach from the crucible. After the metal in the crucible melts, the slider in the linear guide rail 4 moves downward, causing the stirring rod 8 to move into the crucible. The stirring motor 11 drives the connecting rod 7 to rotate through the coupling 12, causing the stirring rod 8 to stir the metal solution in the crucible. At the same time, by controlling the depth of the stirring rod 8 in the crucible and the rotation speed of the stirring rod 8, the movement of the limiting cylinder 6 and the rotation of the connecting rod 7 are controlled. During operation, the skeleton-shaped sealing ring 13 provides dynamic sealing to the limiting cylinder 6 and the fixing frame 3 to ensure the vacuum of the vacuum induction furnace. When stirring different metal solutions, the stirring rod 8 needs to be replaced for better stirring effect. At this time, rotate the threaded sleeve 17 to move the threaded sleeve 17 downward along the stirring rod 8. After the threaded sleeve 17 is separated from the connecting sleeve 16, the connection between the stirring rod 8 and the connecting rod 7 can be disconnected. Then, insert the top of the new stirring rod 8 into the limiting groove 18, and then rotate the threaded sleeve 17 upward to connect the threaded sleeve 17 with the connecting sleeve 16, thus completing the replacement of the stirring rod 8.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
