The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 The metal melting apparatus shown includes: a raised platform 10, a hot melt container 20 disposed within the raised platform 10, and a top extension mechanism 30.
[0029] The bottom of the hot melt container 20 is placed on the receiving platform 10a inside the platform 10, and its outer side is rotatably connected to the platform 10. It is used to receive solid metal and heat it to form liquid metal.
[0030] The top extension mechanism 30 is located on one side of the bottom of the hot melt container 20 and is connected to the bottom of the hot melt container 20; it includes a top extension support 31, a drive rod 32 and an adapter 33. The adapter 33 is fixedly installed on the receiving platform 10a, the top extension support 31 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the platform 10, and the drive end and the execution end of the drive rod 32 are movably connected to the top extension support 31 and the adapter 33, respectively.
[0031] This invention, through precise control of the extension mechanism 30 and the rotational connection between the hot melt container 20 and the platform 10, can smoothly pour out the liquid metal in the hot melt container 20, effectively avoiding splashing and oxidation of the molten metal during the pouring process. Furthermore, when pouring out the molten metal, the operator does not need to directly contact the high-temperature hot melt container 20, reducing the risk of injury from high-temperature radiation and molten metal splashes, and improving the safety of the working environment.
[0032] Specifically, the elevated platform 10 serves as the supporting structure for the entire device, providing a stable installation foundation for the hot melt container 20 and the jacking mechanism 30, ensuring the stability of the device during operation. The hot melt container 20 is used to receive solid metal and heat it to transform it into liquid metal. Its bottom rests on the receiving platform 10a within the elevated platform 10, and its outer surface is rotatably connected to the elevated platform 10, facilitating the smooth pouring of the liquid metal after heating and ensuring the safety of the pouring process. The jacking mechanism 30, through the cooperation of the jacking support 31, the drive rod 32, and the adapter 33, can precisely control the tilt angle of the hot melt container 20, thereby achieving... The stable pouring of liquid metal involves a top extension support 31 fixed to the inner wall of the platform 10, providing stable support for the drive rod 32. The drive end of the drive rod 32 is movably connected to the top extension support 31, and the actuator end is movably connected to the adapter 33. When the rod extends or retracts, the drive end of the drive rod 32 rotates relative to the top extension support 31, and the actuator end rotates relative to the receiving platform 10a. This simultaneously drives the receiving platform 10a and the hot melt container 20 on the receiving platform 10a to rotate, allowing the top extension mechanism 30 to flexibly push the hot melt container 20 to tilt, thus realizing the pouring operation of liquid metal from the hot melt container 20.
[0033] The working process of the above-mentioned metal melting device is as follows: Solid metal is placed in the hot melting container 20, which is placed on the receiving platform 10a inside the platform 10. The outer side of the hot melting container 20 is rotatably connected to the platform 10, forming a relatively enclosed space to reduce heat loss and oxidation of the molten metal. The hot melting container 20 is heated by a heating device, causing the solid metal to gradually melt into liquid metal. When the metal is completely melted and reaches the set liquid state, the top extension mechanism 30 is activated. The drive rod 32 of the top extension mechanism 30, supported by the top extension support 31, is connected to the bottom of the hot melting container 20 through the adapter 33, pushing the hot melting container 20 to tilt around its rotatable connection point with the platform 10. As the hot melting container 20 tilts, the liquid metal is poured out of the hot melting container 20 under the action of gravity, completing the transfer process of the molten metal.
[0034] Based on the above embodiments, at least one set of hot melt container 20 and top extension mechanism 30 are provided. Each hot melt container 20 includes a body 21 and a cover 22. The body 21 is a hollow cylindrical structure located inside the platform 10. The cover 22 is rotatably connected to the body 21 on one side and is located on top of the body 21. The cover 22 of the hot melt container 20 is designed to effectively reduce the contact between the molten metal and air during the melting process, reduce the possibility of oxidation of the molten metal, and improve the purity and quality of the molten metal. Specifically, the cover 22 is rotatably connected to the body 21 of the hot melt container 20 and is located on top of the body 21. When it is necessary to add solid metal, the cover 22 can be opened to add solid metal material into the body 21. During the melting process, the cover 22 and the body 21 are in a closed state. The cover 22 can effectively reduce heat loss, improve heating efficiency, and prevent the molten metal from contacting air during the melting process, reducing the risk of oxidation. When pouring out the molten metal, the cover 22 can tilt together with the hot melt container 20 to further protect the quality of the molten metal.
[0035] Based on the above embodiment, a pouring port 211 is provided on one side of the main body 21. The pouring port 211 is connected to the interior of the main body 21 and is located on the side where the main body 21 and the platform 10 are hinged. The design of the pouring port 211 makes the liquid metal pouring out more smoothly, reduces the resistance and splashing of the liquid metal during the pouring process, and improves the pouring efficiency and safety. Moreover, during the pouring process, it is only connected to the outside through the pouring port 211, avoiding the influence of the external environment on the interior of the hot melt container 20 and ensuring the hot melt effect of the metal.
[0036] Based on the above embodiment, a transfer trolley 40 is provided on one side of the platform 10. The transfer trolley 40 is located on the side where the pouring port 211 is located. It includes a transfer bracket 41, a transfer drive 42, and a receiving container 43. The receiving container 43 is set on the top of the transfer bracket 41 and is used to receive liquid metal from the pouring port 211. The transfer drive 42 is fixedly set on the bottom of the transfer bracket 41 and is used to drive the transfer bracket 41 to move back and forth along the direction of the hot melt containers 20. The setting of the transfer trolley 40 realizes the automated transfer of liquid metal, reduces manual intervention, and improves production efficiency and safety. Specifically, when the transfer trolley 40 is moved to be set opposite to the pouring port 211, the liquid metal flows out of the pouring port 211 and flows directly into the receiving container 43 of the transfer trolley 40. The transfer drive 42 drives the transfer bracket 41 to move along the direction of the hot melt containers 20, transferring the liquid metal in the receiving container 43 to the designated position, thus completing the automated transfer process of the liquid metal.
[0037] Based on the above embodiments, a dust removal channel 221 is provided inside the cover 22. One end of the dust removal channel 221 is connected to the inside of the main body 21, and the other end is connected to the external pipe 222. The dust removal channel 221 allows harmful gases and dust generated during the metal melting process to be discharged outside the melting device through the dust removal channel 221 and the external pipe 222, and discharged after treatment to meet emission standards. This effectively reduces the emission of harmful gases and dust during the melting process, and reduces environmental pollution and harm to the health of operators.
[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the top of the body 21 is open, and a pressure plate 23 is provided between the body 21 and the cover 22. The pressure plate 23 seals the opening of the body 21. The design of the pressure plate 23 seals the opening of the body 21 and also prevents the sealing effect between the body 21 and the cover 22 from weakening due to thermal expansion and contraction, thereby enhancing the sealing performance of the hot melt container 20, effectively preventing heat loss and oxidation of the molten metal, and improving the safety of operation.
[0039] Based on the above embodiments, a feeding port 231 is provided through the middle of the pressure plate 23, and a sealing cover 232 is correspondingly provided on the feeding port 231. The cross-sectional shape of the sealing cover 232 is the same as that of the feeding port 231. The feeding port 231 provided through the middle of the pressure plate 23 facilitates the operator to add solid metal into the hot melt container 20, improving the ease of operation of the equipment. The corresponding sealing cover 232 provided on the feeding port 231, whose cross-sectional shape is the same as that of the feeding port 231, can seal the feeding port 231 after feeding to prevent heat loss and oxidation of the molten metal.
[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the top of the sealing cover 232 is connected to the side of the pressure plate 23 facing the cover body 22 via a movable connector 233, making the opening and closing of the sealing cover 232 more convenient; the operator can complete the feeding operation with one hand, improving the ease of operation of the equipment. At the same time, the movable connector 233 can also prevent the sealing cover 232 from being lost during use, ensuring the integrity of the equipment.
[0041] Based on the above embodiments, an electric control console 34 is also provided on the platform 10. The electric control console 34 is located on a side perpendicular to the opening and closing direction of the hot melt container 20 and is electrically connected to the drive rod 32. The electric control console 34 enables centralized control of the entire metal melting device. Operators can perform the molten metal pouring operation from a position away from the hot melt container 20, reducing operational risks. The electrical connection between the electric control console 34 and the drive rod 32 makes the driving of the top extension mechanism 30 more precise and stable, improves the automation level and operational accuracy of the equipment, and ensures the stability of the tilt angle control and maintenance of the hot melt container 20 during pouring.
[0042] Based on the above embodiments, a cooling channel is provided inside the platform 10, and the cooling channel is evenly distributed around the hot melt container 20. The cooling channel can effectively absorb the heat generated by the hot melt container 20 during the melting process, realize the uniform cooling of the hot melt container 20, help control the temperature gradient inside the hot melt container 20, improve the quality and efficiency of metal melting, and extend the service life of the equipment.
