TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a metal processing equipment especially cast with intermediate frequency furnace device. BACKGROUND
[0002] Intermediate frequency furnace is a kind of equipment widely used in the field such as metal smelting, casting, its main function is to heat metal material to melting state by electromagnetic induction. In actual use process, intermediate frequency furnace usually needs to pour out the molten metal liquid from the furnace body to carry out subsequent casting or processing. Pouring process is generally realized by mechanical transmission device or hydraulic system, and the operator needs to control the inclination angle of furnace body to make high-temperature metal liquid flow out smoothly. However, in some application scenarios, due to the large volume of furnace body or the heavy weight of internal metal liquid, the stability and operation precision of equipment are required higher in pouring process, especially in the case of improper pouring speed and angle control, metal liquid is easy to splash or other safety hazards.
[0003] In the prior art, intermediate frequency furnace has the problem of insufficient stability when pouring internal materials. Specifically, the traditional pouring mechanism lacks sufficient support and balance adjustment ability in design, which causes the furnace body to shake or deviate during tilting. This instability not only affects the accuracy of pouring, but also may cause metal liquid overflow or equipment damage and other problems. In addition, due to the high temperature and weight distribution change generated in the pouring process, the durability and safety of the equipment are also challenged, thereby increasing the maintenance cost and operation risk. Therefore, how to improve the stability of intermediate frequency furnace in pouring process has become a technical problem to be solved. TECHNICAL SOLUTION
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a cast intermediate frequency furnace device more stable when pouring.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme of the utility model is as follows: a cast intermediate frequency furnace device, comprising a furnace body provided on a support table and a furnace cover provided on the furnace body, the top of the furnace body is provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet on the two sides of the circumference respectively, a pair of electrodes for dissolving the internal materials of the furnace body is arranged on the furnace cover and can be inserted into the furnace body, the support table is used for placing the furnace body and abutting against the bottom of the furnace body, the end faces of the support table and the furnace body corresponding to each other are arc-shaped, the bottom of the furnace body is symmetrically provided along the circumference and is respectively corresponding to the material barrel for containing finished material and the telescopic cylinder for causing the furnace body to pour out, the telescopic cylinder comprises a cylinder body embedded in the support table and a telescopic rod extending from the cylinder body and hinged with the furnace body, and the support table is further provided with a stabilizing assembly for preventing the cylinder body from falling out of the support table.

As a preferred mode, the arc-shaped end surface of support platform and furnace body contact can set up the recess and convex structure of staggered distribution, through recess and convex occlusion increase the friction coefficient, allow certain range's fine adjustment displacement simultaneously, give consideration to stability and the flexibility of dumping action.
[0007] Further, the cylinder body and the telescopic rod have an outer diameter difference, the support platform includes an anti-unhooking boss axially distributed from the outer edge of the cylinder body towards the center of the cylinder body, and the stable component is arranged between the anti-unhooking boss and the cylinder body.
[0008] The stepped matching surface formed by the outer diameter difference allows the anti-unhooking boss to bear axial load when the telescopic cylinder is pulled, avoiding stress concentration at a single connection point. The axial extension design of the anti-unhooking boss can increase the contact area with the cylinder body, for example, an annular boss is used to wrap the outer periphery of the cylinder body, and the load is uniformly transmitted through the annular support surface; or a plurality of groups of radial boss arrays are arranged to reduce the material usage while ensuring strength. As a preferred mode, the anti-unhooking boss can be designed as a tapered structure, and the inner wall and the outer wall of the cylinder body form a wedge-shaped matching, which generates a self-enhancing clamping force when the cylinder body is pulled and displaced, further inhibiting the tendency of unhooking.

[0010] The component realizes accurate control of the pre-tightening force of the spring through thread adjustment, which can adapt to the anti-unhooking requirements under different working conditions. The exposed part of the spring can form an elastic buffer section, for example, a variable-pitch spring is used, the densely wound section close to the positioning portion provides initial pre-tightening force, and the sparsely wound section exposed outside allows a larger deformation to absorb impact load. As a preferred mode, the positioning portion can be provided with a multi-stage clamping groove structure, the effective working turns of the spring are changed by rotating the adjusting rod, thereby realizing stiffness adjustment without replacing the spring, and an elastic gasket is additionally arranged between the fixed nut and the anti-unhooking boss, which can compensate for the thread gap and prevent loosening.
[0011] Further, the material bucket is provided with a support plate near the side of the furnace body, and the support plate is abutted on the furnace body when the furnace body is inclined.

The contact surface of the support plate can be designed as a self-adaptive curved surface, for example, a multi-layer laminated structure, each lamella is connected through a hinged shaft, and the curvature radius can be automatically adjusted according to the inclination angle of the furnace body to ensure the surface contact effect. As a preferred mode, a pressure sensor array can be embedded in the support plate to monitor the contact pressure distribution in real time, and when the local pressure is detected to be excessive, the telescopic cylinder stroke is automatically adjusted through a linkage control system to realize dynamic balance during pouring.
[0013] Further, one end of the support plate is hinged on the material bucket, and an elastic telescopic member is arranged between the support plate and the material bucket to provide a torque of the support plate towards the furnace body.
[0014] The hinged structure allows the support plate to adapt to the change of the inclination angle of the furnace body, and the continuous torque generated by the elastic telescopic member can eliminate the support gap, for example, a pre-compressed nitrogen gas spring, the characteristic that the output force changes little with displacement can maintain a stable support force, or a double-acting hydraulic cylinder is arranged to cooperate with an accumulator to dynamically adjust the support force during pouring. As a preferred mode, the elastic telescopic member can be designed as a sleeve structure, which contains a main spring and an auxiliary spring group inside, the main spring provides a basic support force, and the auxiliary spring is intervened to work at a certain inclination angle through a slider mechanism, forming a segmented support characteristic, which takes into account the rapid response at the initial stage of pouring and the support demand of large load at the later stage.
