Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of medium-frequency induction furnaces, specifically relating to a flue gas collection device for medium-frequency induction furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] A medium-frequency induction furnace is a device that rectifies three-phase AC power into DC power, then converts the DC power into an adjustable current. This DC current is supplied to the alternating current flowing through a capacitor and an induction coil, generating a high-density magnetic field in the induction coil. This magnetic field cuts through the metal material placed within the coil, inducing large eddy currents within the metal. These eddy currents also exhibit some properties of medium-frequency currents, namely, the free electrons within the metal itself flowing through a resistive metal body generate heat. This process achieves the purpose of melting the target metal.
[0003] During the smelting process in a medium-frequency induction furnace, a large amount of smoke and dust is generated due to impurities in the raw materials and the burning of the materials themselves. The traditional method is to install a smoke exhaust assembly above the furnace cover and a smoke exhaust hood above the furnace platform, with an external dust collector to collect the smoke and dust.
[0004] The publicly disclosed document, "A Dust Removal Device for an Induction Furnace" (application number 201420724131X), describes a dust removal device for an induction furnace, including a steel structure for the fume hood shell, a small furnace cover, a suction channel, a fume arm tilting cylinder, a fume hood tilting cylinder, a front tilting slewing bearing for the fume hood, a rear tilting slewing bearing for the fume hood, furnace cover support feet, and supports. However, in actual use, the fume extraction effect is poor, especially during high-power smelting processes, where dust leaks along the perimeter of the furnace cover. During the pouring of molten metal, a large amount of dust leaks along the furnace body outlet, and relying solely on the fume hood above the furnace platform for dust collection is ineffective. Based on these circumstances, most medium-frequency induction furnace production workshops have poor working environments, and the recovery of burnt raw materials is ineffective, leading to difficulties in recruiting workers for this position and persistently high costs for enterprises.
[0005] Based on the above problems, this utility model provides a flue gas collection device for medium-frequency induction furnaces, which strengthens the smoke collection measures at specific stages of smoke leakage, and achieves zero smoke leakage during the smelting and pouring of molten metal in medium-frequency induction furnaces.

An arc-shaped annular guide shroud 3 is fixedly installed around the circular hole at the bottom of the fume hood 1. The tail of the fume hood 1 has a square opening communicating with the circular hole. The rear end of the annular guide shroud 3 has a notch corresponding to the square opening at the tail of the fume hood 1. The rear end of the fume hood 1 is connected to... A flow guiding component 4 is provided, which includes a flow guiding groove 41 fixedly connected to the tail of the smoke hood 1. The flow guiding groove 41 has notches on its rear, bottom, and front surfaces, which communicate with the opening at the tail of the smoke hood 1. A trapezoidal flow guiding hood 42 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the flow guiding groove 41. The bottom of the trapezoidal flow guiding hood 42 has a notch that corresponds to the notch on the rear of the flow guiding groove 41. The head of the smoke hood 1 is cylindrical, and its right side is connected to the smoke exhaust component 6 via a rotating fixing component 5. The smoke exhaust component 6 includes a first smoke exhaust pipe 61, the rear right end of which is connected to a second smoke exhaust pipe 62. One end of the second smoke exhaust pipe 62 is connected to the first smoke exhaust pipe 61, and the other end is connected to a third smoke exhaust pipe 62. The left end of the smoke pipe 63 and the front right end of the third smoke pipe 63 are connected to the fourth smoke pipe 64, which is connected to the pipes of the purification system. The rotating and fixing assembly 5 includes two flanges, which are respectively connected to the right side of the head of the fume hood 1 and the left side of the first smoke pipe 61. The inner sides of the two flanges are rotatably connected by a slewing bearing, and the flanges are fixed with positioning pins. The inner side of the smoke exhaust assembly 6 and the outer side of the fume hood 1 are both connected to the support assembly 7. The support assembly 7 includes a support arm 71. One end of the support arm 71 is fixedly connected to the rear left end of the first smoke pipe 61, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first support 72 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the medium frequency induction furnace. The first smoke pipe 61 A U-shaped support rod a75 is fixedly connected to the front side of the left end. The U-shaped support rod a75 is fixedly connected to the front end of the vertical support rod 76. The vertical support rod 76 is set vertically. A fume hood head support 73 is fixedly set at the left end of the head of the fume hood 1. The top of the vertical support rod 76 is rotatably connected to the fume hood head support 73.

[0023] During operation, the operator opens the fume hood 1 using the U-shaped support rod a75, which simultaneously raises the support arm 71, the first exhaust pipe 61, and the second exhaust pipe 62. The operator then places the raw material to be melted into the furnace opening of the medium-frequency induction furnace. After placement, the operator closes the fume hood 1 using the U-shaped support rod a75, causing the support arm 71, the first exhaust pipe 61, and the second exhaust pipe 62 to rise and fall. The furnace cover 2 then covers the furnace opening. The flue gas passes through the fume hood 1 into the exhaust assembly 6, and then into the purification system. The annular guide hood 3 guides the overflowing gas around the furnace cover 2. The flue gas gathers and enters the fume hood 1 to prevent it from leaking out. After melting, the liquid is poured out. The operator opens the fume hood 1 using the U-shaped support rod a75. The medium-frequency induction furnace tilts towards the outlet so that the liquid can flow out along the outlet. As the liquid flows out, the flue gas enters the fume hood 1 under the action of the trapezoidal guide hood 42, then enters the exhaust assembly 6, and finally enters the purification system. When the angle of the fume hood 1 needs to be adjusted individually, the operator adjusts the angle of the fume hood 1 individually using the handle 8 and the rotating fixing assembly 5.
