Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubator technology, and in particular to a flow-assisted incubation device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of molten iron casting, to improve the performance of cast iron parts, a flowing inoculant is usually added to the molten iron when it is poured from the furnace into the mold, thereby refining the grain size. When pouring the molten iron from the furnace, one batch of iron needs to be poured into multiple molds, meaning the pouring process needs to be completed multiple times. Therefore, the process of adding the flowing inoculant material also needs to be controlled to ensure that the inoculant is added separately.

[0003] Normally, it is difficult for a single person to complete the pouring of molten iron and the addition of inoculant. It requires two workers: one to control the pouring process and the other to control the addition of inoculant, which wastes labor costs. Furthermore, the electronic inoculants currently used on the market have complex electronic components, resulting in high operating costs. Prolonged use in high-temperature environments affects the lifespan of the electronic components, requiring frequent replacement of parts for maintenance, which delays production.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flow-fed incubation device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flow-following inoculant device with a simple structure and easy operation, which allows a single person to control the molten iron and the inoculant input, thus saving costs.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A flow-incubation device is provided, comprising:

[0008] A storage cylinder, comprising a cylinder body and a discharge pipe, wherein the cylinder body is connected to a molten iron furnace and is used to store an inoculant, and a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body, and the discharge pipe is connected to the discharge port;

[0009] The control mechanism includes a movable switch, a control line, and a handheld device. The movable switch is movably connected to the cylinder body and is used to control the opening or closing of the discharge port. The control line is connected between the movable switch and the handheld device and is used to drive the movement of the movable switch.

[0010] As an alternative to the incubation device, the movable switch includes a spring and a movable component, the movable component being connected to the control line, and the spring abutting against the side wall of the cylinder body and the movable component.

[0011] As an alternative to the in-flow incubation device, the storage cylinder also includes a filter structure, which is disposed inside the cylinder body.

[0012] As an alternative to the incubation device, the bottom of the cylinder body is provided with a sloping structure, and the discharge port is located at the bottom of the sloping structure.

[0013] As an alternative to the in-flow inoculation device, the in-flow inoculation device further includes a fixing member, which is connected to the storage cylinder and inserted into the molten iron furnace.

[0014] As an alternative to the incubation device, the fixing component is made of stainless steel.

[0015] As an alternative to the incubation device, the handheld component includes a handle and a wrench, the wrench being connected to the control line and rotatably connected to the handle.

[0016] As an alternative to the incubation device, the control mechanism further includes a conduit connected between the handheld device and the storage cylinder, with the control line disposed within the conduit.

[0017] As an alternative to the in-flow incubation device, the discharge pipe is configured as a bendable pipe.

[0018] As an alternative to the in-flow incubation device, the storage cylinder is made of stainless steel; and / or, the control mechanism is made of stainless steel.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention provides a flow-through inoculant device. A storage cylinder is fixed to a molten iron furnace, with the main body storing the inoculant to be added. The discharge pipe is aligned with the furnace outlet. When using this device, the worker holds the handle and pulls the control line, causing a movable switch to open the discharge port, allowing the inoculant to flow from the discharge pipe into the molten iron. To stop pouring molten iron, the worker releases the control line, closing the discharge port and stopping the inoculant addition. This flow-through inoculant device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and allows a single person to control both the molten iron and the inoculant addition, thus saving labor costs. Furthermore, it has low production and maintenance costs and is easy to maintain after long-term use. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the inoculant device of this embodiment includes a storage cylinder 100 and a control mechanism 200. The storage cylinder 100 includes a cylinder body 110 and a discharge pipe 120. The cylinder body 110 is connected to the molten iron furnace and is used to store the inoculant. A discharge port is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body 110, and the discharge pipe 120 is connected to the discharge port. The control mechanism 200 includes a movable switch 210, a control line 220, and a handheld device 230. The movable switch 210 is movably connected to the cylinder body 110 and is used to control the opening or closing of the discharge port. The control line 220 is connected between the movable switch 210 and the handheld device 230 and is used to drive the movement of the movable switch 210.

[0032] Based on the above design, when using this in-flow inoculation device, the storage cylinder 100 is fixed on the molten iron furnace, and the inoculant to be added is stored in the cylinder body 110. The discharge pipe 120 is aligned with the outlet of the molten iron furnace. When pouring molten iron into the mold, the worker holds the handpiece 230 and pulls the control line 220, causing the movable switch 210 to open the discharge port, and the inoculant flows out from the discharge pipe 120 into the molten iron. When it is necessary to stop pouring molten iron, the worker releases the control line 220, at which point the movable switch 210 can close the discharge port, thereby stopping the addition of inoculant. This in-flow inoculation device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. A single person can simultaneously control the molten iron and the addition of inoculant, thereby saving labor costs. Furthermore, this in-flow inoculation device is manufactured using a mechanical structure, with few parts, low production and maintenance costs, and is easy to maintain after long-term use.

[0033] In this embodiment, the in-flow inoculation device further includes a fixing member 300, which is connected to the storage cylinder 100 and inserted into the molten iron furnace. Specifically, the fixing member 300 is configured as a strip plate structure, with one end fixed to the bottom of the cylinder body 110 and the other end protruding from the bottom surface of the cylinder body 110 for easy insertion into the interface of the molten iron furnace. By inserting the fixing member 300 into the molten iron furnace, the in-flow inoculation device is easier to install and disassemble, and can be used in combination with multiple molten iron furnaces, reducing the production quantity of the in-flow inoculation device and lowering the operating cost.

[0034] Furthermore, the storage cylinder 100 also includes a filter structure (not shown in the figure), which is disposed inside the cylinder body 110 to filter impurities in the inoculant, ensuring the cleanliness of the inoculant added to the molten iron. In this embodiment, the filter structure is set as a filter screen, which has a long service life, simple structure, and is easy to install.

[0035] It is understood that a sloping structure 111 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder body 110, and the discharge port is located at the bottom of the sloping structure 111. This ensures that the inoculant can flow smoothly to the discharge port, improves the flow efficiency of the inoculant, and prevents the inoculant from remaining at the bottom of the cylinder body 110. In this embodiment, the discharge port is located at the bottom edge of the cylinder body 110. In some other embodiments, the discharge port can also be located in the middle of the bottom of the cylinder body 110, in which case the sloping structure 111 is funnel-shaped.

[0036] Furthermore, the handheld component 230 includes a handle 231 and a wrench 232. The wrench 232 is connected to the control line 220 and rotatably connected to the handle 231. Specifically, the wrench 232 has an L-shaped structure. One end of the wrench 232 is rotatably connected to the handle 231, the middle bend is connected to the control line 220, and the other end is spaced apart from the handle 231. When the wrench 232 is pulled to rotate toward the handle 231, the wrench 232 can pull the control line 220, thereby realizing the movement of the movable switch 210.

[0037] Optionally, the control mechanism 200 also includes a conduit 240, which is connected between the handheld device 230 and the storage cylinder 100. The control line 220 is disposed inside the conduit 240, which protects the control line 220 and extends its service life.

[0038] Furthermore, the movable switch 210 includes a spring 211 and a movable member 212. The movable member 212 is connected to the control line 220. The spring 211 abuts against the side wall of the cylinder body 110 and the movable member 212. When the control line 220 is pulled to add the inoculant, the movable member 212 moves and compresses the spring 211. When the control line 220 is released, the movable member 212 quickly resets under the action of the spring 211, thereby improving the sensitivity of the movable switch 210 and saving the cost of using the inoculant.

[0039] In this embodiment, the discharge pipe 120 is configured as a bendable pipe, which can flexibly adjust the bending direction of the discharge pipe 120. When the in-flow inoculation device is replaced and installed on different iron furnaces, it can ensure that the outlet of the discharge pipe 120 corresponds to the outlet of the iron furnace, thereby ensuring that the inoculant can be accurately added to the iron, ensuring the inoculation effect, and improving the adaptability of the in-flow inoculation device.

[0040] Optionally, the storage cylinder 100 can be made of stainless steel, that is, the cylinder body 110 and the discharge pipe 120 are both made of stainless steel; or, the control mechanism 200 can be made of stainless steel, that is, the mobile switch 210, the control line 220 and the handheld device 230 are all made of stainless steel; or, both the storage cylinder 100 and the control mechanism 200 can be made of stainless steel. In addition, the fixing component 300 can also be made of stainless steel.

[0041] Stainless steel possesses excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance, along with high mechanical strength. It exhibits a low failure rate and long service life during prolonged use in high-temperature environments, reducing maintenance frequency and costs. Furthermore, stainless steel components have good thermal conductivity. When the storage cylinder 100 is fixed to the molten iron furnace, the residual heat of the furnace can be used to preheat the inoculant stored in the cylinder body 110, resulting in better inoculant inoculation when added.

[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
