Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of upward drawing furnace technology, specifically a self-filtering smelting upward drawing continuous casting furnace. Background Technology

[0002] An induction furnace is an industrial smelting device primarily used in metal smelting and heat treatment processes. It utilizes induction heating to heat the metal, creating eddies within the metal. These eddies generate heat, raising the metal's temperature until it reaches its melting point. This method avoids direct contact heating, thus ensuring the purity and quality of the metal.

[0003] Chinese patent CN219735964U discloses a high-efficiency, low-energy-consumption upward-drawing furnace, including a support frame on which a furnace body is fixedly mounted. The furnace body includes a melting zone, a purification zone, and a heat preservation zone. A nano-high-temperature insulation layer is disposed on the inner wall of the furnace body. A chromium-containing fiber layer is disposed on the inner side wall of the nano-high-temperature insulation layer. A chromium-containing fiber layer is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the nano-high-temperature insulation layer. A ceramic fiber layer is disposed on both the chromium-containing fiber layer and the chromium-containing fiber layer. A heat preservation layer is disposed on the inner side wall of the ceramic fiber layer. A quartz sand layer is disposed on both the heat preservation layer and the ceramic fiber layer. Several shaped bricks are disposed on the quartz sand layer, and adjacent shaped bricks are interconnected. This patent involves adding copper material, such as electrolytic copper, into the melting zone. Under the operation of an electromagnetic heating coil, the copper material is melted into molten copper in the melting zone. The molten copper overflows from the melting zone into the heat preservation zone. With the heating coil in operation, the molten copper in the heat preservation zone remains in a liquid state.

[0004] The existing technology melts copper into molten copper in the melting zone under the operation of an electromagnetic heating coil. The molten copper then overflows into the heat preservation zone. Under the operation of the heating coil, the molten copper in the heat preservation zone is kept in a liquid state. However, there are other metallic impurities inside the molten copper. At the same time, the copper inside the furnace will oxidize when heated, which will affect the quality of the copper.

[0024] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a self-filtering smelting and top-drawing continuous casting furnace, including a furnace body 1, which provides a closed and controllable smelting environment. The furnace body 1 is typically made of high-temperature resistant material, capable of withstanding the heat and pressure generated during high-temperature smelting. A first melting chamber 11 is located on one side of the furnace body 1, and a second melting chamber 12 is also located inside the furnace body 1. A fusion chamber 13 is located inside the furnace body 1 near the second melting chamber 12. Molten metal flows from the second melting chamber 12 into the fusion chamber 13, where uniform mixing of the metal is achieved through natural convection. The filling with pure charcoal helps adsorb impurities in the metal and isolates it from air, preventing metal oxidation. A heat preservation chamber 15 is located on the other side of the furnace body 1, and a purification chamber 14 is located between the fusion chamber 13 and the heat preservation chamber 15. The purification chamber 14 deeply purifies the molten metal, removing minute metal inclusions and gases. The first melting chamber 11, the second melting chamber 12, and the heat preservation chamber 15 are filled with charcoal and graphite flakes. The charcoal particles are larger than the graphite flake particles, and the graphite flakes fill the gaps in the charcoal. Molten metal flows from the purification chamber 14 into the heat preservation chamber 15, which maintains the temperature of the molten metal through internal heating. The combustion of the charcoal and graphite flakes also helps to provide a certain heat preservation effect. The melting chamber 13 and the purification chamber 14 are filled with pure charcoal to adsorb metal impurities and isolate them from air.

[0026] A partition 16 is provided between the first melting chamber 11, the second melting chamber 12, the fusion chamber 13, the purification chamber 14 and the heat preservation chamber 15 to separate the chambers. The partition 16 is also provided with a connecting port for the flow of molten material, and a grid is detachably installed in the connecting port.

[0027] The furnace body 1 is sequentially equipped with a first melting chamber 11, a second melting chamber 12, a fusion chamber 13, a purification chamber 14, and a heat preservation chamber 15. Each chamber is separated by a partition 16, which also contains a grid. The first melting chamber 11, the second melting chamber 12, and the heat preservation chamber 15 are filled with charcoal and graphite flakes. The charcoal particles are larger than the graphite flake particles, making them easier to burn completely. The graphite flakes fill the gaps between the charcoal particles, and during combustion, they adsorb other metallic impurities. The fusion chamber 13 and the purification chamber 14 are filled with pure charcoal to adsorb metallic impurities and isolate oxygen, preventing copper oxidation. As the copper molten material flows into the heat preservation chamber 15, impurities are filtered through the grid, thereby improving the purity of the copper.

[0028] The bottom of the first melting chamber 11 is provided with a first molten pool 111, the bottom of the second melting chamber 12 is provided with a second molten pool 121, the bottom of the purification chamber 14 is provided with a purification pool 141, and the bottom of the heat preservation chamber 15 is provided with a heat preservation pool 151. Electromagnetic heating components 6 for heating are also installed inside the first molten pool 111, the second molten pool 121, the purification pool 141, and the heat preservation pool 151. The electromagnetic heating component 6 includes an iron core 61, a heating coil 62 for heating is sleeved on the outside of the iron core 61, and a cooling water jacket 7 for cooling is also sleeved on the outside of the electromagnetic heating component 6. The iron core 61 is the core part of the electromagnetic heating component 6, used to enhance the magnetic field generated by the heating coil 62. When the heating coil 62 is energized, an alternating magnetic field is generated. Under the action of the alternating magnetic field, the molten metal in the molten pool generates eddy currents, which flow inside the metal and generate heat, thereby achieving heating.

[0029] The inner wall of the furnace body 1 is provided with a heat-insulating brick insulation layer 3 and special bricks 5 for heat insulation. A ramming material insulation layer 4 is also filled between the heat-insulating brick insulation layer 3 and the special bricks 5. The first molten pool 111, the second molten pool 121, the purification pool 141 and the heat-insulating pool 151 are also filled with ramming material insulation layer 4. The top of the furnace body 1 is also provided with a feeding port 2 for filling, and a material gate is rotatably installed on the feeding port 2.

[0030] Working Principle: In operation, charcoal and graphite flakes are filled into the first melting chamber 11, the second melting chamber 12, and the insulation chamber 15. The charcoal particles are larger than the graphite flake particles. Pure charcoal is filled into the fusion chamber 13 and the purification chamber 14. Then, recycled copper is placed into the first melting chamber 11. Electrolytic copper is placed into the second melting chamber 12. By energizing the heating coil 62, eddy currents are generated inside the copper, causing it to melt. As the charcoal and graphite flakes burn, they adsorb other metallic impurities. The molten copper then enters the fusion chamber 13 to mix with the surrounding material. The mixed molten copper then enters the purification chamber 14, where the burning charcoal in both chambers adsorbs metallic impurities and isolates oxygen, preventing oxidation of the copper. As the copper solution flows into the insulation chamber 15, impurities are filtered through a grid, thus improving the purity of the copper. The inner wall of the furnace body 1 is provided with a heat insulation layer 3 of insulating bricks and a special brick 5. The space between the heat insulation layer 3 of insulating bricks and the special brick 5 is filled with a ramming material heat insulation layer 4, thereby improving the heat insulation effect of the upper furnace and increasing the utilization rate of electrical energy. At the same time, it also prevents the outer wall of the furnace body 1 from getting too hot and burning the staff.
