[0038] It is worth mentioning that the cleaning mechanism 8 also includes a protection box 88 fixed on the top surface of the distillation cylinder 2, and the motor 87 is located inside the protection box 88, which plays a protective role for the motor 87, preventing the steam and splashing material generated during the distillation process from damaging the motor 87, and prolonging the service life of the motor 87.
[0039] It is worth emphasizing that the parts of the distillation cylinder 2 in contact with the feed hopper 4, the discharge pipe 5, the rotating roller 85 and the guide pipe 11 are provided with sealing rings, the parts of the separation cylinder 9 in contact with the guide pipe 11 and the liquid discharge pipe 12 are provided with sealing rings, and the parts of the water pipe 73 and the water outlet pipe 75 in contact with the same side through hole on the top surface of the distillation cylinder 2 are also provided with sealing rings, which effectively prevents the leakage of steam, liquid and other substances, ensures the sealing performance of the device during operation, and improves the efficiency and safety of the distillation and condensation process.

[0042] In the specific use process of the embodiment, the metal material to be distilled is added to the distillation cylinder 2 through the feeding hopper 4, and the material valve 6 on the outer wall of the pipe body of the feeding hopper 4 can control the feeding speed and quantity, the feeding hopper 4 is fixed on the top surface of the distillation cylinder 2 and is connected with the inner cavity, and this structure design ensures that the material can smoothly enter the inside of the distillation cylinder 2, and prepares for the subsequent distillation process;
[0043] Subsequently, the material valve 6 is closed, the water supply pipe of the external cold water supply device is tightly sleeved with the water inlet pipe 74, the water collecting pipe of the external cold water supply device is tightly sleeved with the water outlet pipe 75, and then the water pump 72 and the plurality of heating rings 16 are started by the external PLC. After the plurality of heating rings 16 are started, the material inside the distillation cylinder 2 can be heated, and the heated material will generate steam and move upwards. At this time, the water pump 72 is started to transport the cold water in the external cold water supply device from the water supply pipe to the inside of the water inlet pipe 74. The cold water entering the inside of the water inlet pipe 74 then enters the water inlet pipe 73 and enters the inside of the condensing cup 71. The cold water entering the inside of the condensing cup 71 then fills the inside of the condensing cup 71 and enters the inside of the water collecting pipe of the external cold water supply device through the water outlet pipe 75. The water entering the inside of the water collecting pipe then reenters the external cold water supply device, so that the cold water in the inside of the condensing cup 71 can be circulated, and the condensing cup 71 can be cooled. The steam in the process of rising contacts the outer wall of the condensing cup 71 and is liquefied. The condensed liquid adheres to the outer wall of the condensing cup 71 and falls into the guide hopper 10 due to the action of gravity. The condensed liquid entering the inside of the guide hopper 10 then enters the inside of the separation cylinder 9 through the guide pipe 11. After a period of distillation, the water pump 72 and the plurality of heating rings 16 are closed by the external PLC. After the distillation is completed, the material valve 6 on the discharge pipe 5 is opened. Since the bottom end of the distillation cylinder 2 is recessed towards the middle by 18-30°, the remaining material can flow to the middle, so that it is convenient to be discharged through the discharge pipe 5, the discharge efficiency is improved, the discharge pipe 5 is fixed at the bottom end of the distillation cylinder 2 and is in communication with the inner cavity, and it is ensured that the material can be smoothly discharged from the device.
[0044] When the outer wall of the condensing cup 71 needs to be cleaned, first, the motor 87 is started by the external PLC, the output shaft of which is coaxially connected with the rotating roller 85, which penetrates the top surface of the distillation cylinder 2 and extends to the inner side near the middle position. The motor 87 drives the rotating roller 85 to rotate, and the gear 86 fixed coaxially on the outer wall of the rotating roller 85 near the bottom end rotates with it. The gear 86 is engaged with the tooth ring 84 installed on the outer wall of the rotating ring 81, thereby driving the rotating ring 81 to rotate. The rotating ring 81 is located directly below the condensing cup 71 and is connected to the brush rod 83 for cleaning through the rotating rod 82. The side surface of the brush rod 83 close to the condensing cup 71 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the condensing cup 71, and is made of polytetrafluoroethylene material. When the rotating ring 81 rotates, the brush rod 83 brushes the outer wall of the condensing cup 71 to remove the attached impurities, ensuring that the condensing effect is not affected. The rotating ring 81 is fixed by two connecting rods 810 and the mounting ring 89 rotatingly connected to the outer wall of the vertical pipe end of the guide pipe 11, providing stable support for the rotation of the rotating ring 81 and protecting the box 88 fixed on the top surface of the distillation cylinder 2, which covers the motor 87 inside to prevent damage to the motor 87 caused by steam and splashing materials generated during distillation, thereby prolonging the service life of the motor 87. After a period of brushing, the motor 87 is turned off by the external PLC, and the cleaning work is completed.
