Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of induction furnace technology, and in particular to a pot-shaped induction melting and holding casting furnace. Background Technology
[0002] A medium-frequency induction furnace is a specialized piece of equipment designed based on electromagnetic theory. Widely used in the foundry industry, it is an indispensable piece of equipment in industrial production. Its working principle involves converting three-phase AC power into DC power through a rectifier, and then using an inverter circuit to convert the DC power into an adjustable medium-frequency current, which is supplied to the induction coil. When the medium-frequency current flows through the induction coil, it generates high-density magnetic lines of force within it. These lines of force penetrate the metal material placed inside the induction coil, inducing eddy currents. These eddy currents circulate within the metal material, and due to the resistive properties of the metal, electrical energy is converted into heat energy, causing the metal to gradually heat up and melt, thus meeting the requirements for smelting, heat preservation, and composition control.
[0003] Based on their structural characteristics, medium-frequency induction furnaces can be divided into two types: cored induction furnaces and coreless induction furnaces. In actual industrial production, coreless induction furnaces are widely used for metal melting and heat preservation due to their flexibility and high efficiency. Their core mechanism utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction to generate eddy current circulation within the metal material, achieving rapid heating and melting.
[0004] However, some limitations still exist in existing technologies. The guide nozzle of a traditional medium-frequency coreless induction furnace is located at the top of the furnace body, making it difficult to control the parabolic trajectory of molten steel during pouring. Therefore, a multi-stage operation mode is typically adopted, consisting of a melting furnace, intermediate transfer ladles, and casting ladles. Although this mode can meet basic smelting requirements, the presence of intermediate transfer links significantly increases energy loss, leading to higher production costs. This problem has become a pressing technical challenge for industry technicians. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A pot-shaped induction melting and holding furnace includes:
[0008] The furnace body has a hollow internal structure;
[0009] A pot-shaped liner is installed inside the furnace body, and a guide section is provided on one side extending from the bottom to the top of the pot-shaped liner;

[0032] Example 1:
[0033] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4 A pot-shaped induction melting and holding casting furnace includes a furnace body 1, a pot-shaped liner 2, and a pot-shaped induction coil assembly 3. The furnace body 1 serves as the outer protective shell of the entire device, with an internal cavity structure to house other core components. The pot-shaped liner 2 is installed inside the furnace body 1, and its main function is to melt metal materials. A flow guide is designed on one side of the pot-shaped liner 2, extending from the bottom to the top. (According to the attached...) Figure 4As shown, the shape of this guide section can effectively control the parabolic trajectory of the molten steel during casting, thus allowing it to be used directly in the casting process without the need for transfer via an tundish. This design effectively reduces energy loss in intermediate stages, significantly improves production efficiency, and lowers production costs.
[0034] Furthermore, the pot-shaped inner lining 2 is cast from neutral furnace lining material and then subjected to a baking and sintering process. This process significantly enhances the hot hardness and rigidity of the pot-shaped inner lining 2, enabling it to withstand the mechanical stress and thermal shock during high-temperature melting.
[0035] The kettle-shaped induction coil assembly 3 is installed in the cavity between the kettle-shaped liner 2 and the furnace body 1. The main function of the kettle-shaped induction coil assembly 3 is to induction heat the kettle-shaped liner 2, thereby achieving metal melting. In addition, the design of the kettle-shaped induction coil assembly 3 can tightly clamp the kettle-shaped liner 2, further improving its structural strength and ensuring stability during high-temperature operation.
[0036] The pot-shaped induction coil assembly 3 consists of a hollow coil 3-1 and a magnetic yoke 3-2. (See attached diagram) Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the hollow coil 3-1 is spirally wound, forming a pot-shaped structure that matches the shape of the pot-shaped liner 2, allowing it to fit snugly within the cavity between the pot-shaped liner 2 and the furnace body 1. One end of the hollow coil 3-1 is designed as the inlet for cooling circulating water, and the other end is the outlet. During the smelting process, cooling circulating water continuously flows through this system, effectively preventing damage to the hollow coil 3-1 due to high temperatures. Multiple magnetic yokes 3-2 are evenly spaced on the outer side of the hollow coil 3-1. The main function of the magnetic yokes 3-2 is to prevent magnetic field leakage, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of induction heating and ensuring maximum energy utilization.
[0037] Furthermore, a magnetically conductive block is embedded on the outer side of the flow-guiding portion of the hollow coil 3-1, or the corresponding area is filled with refractory castable mixed with magnetically conductive powder. The function of the magnetically conductive block or powder is to enhance the magnetic field strength, ensuring that the flow-guiding portion of the pot-shaped liner 2 can also obtain sufficient heat during induction heating. This design ensures the temperature stability of the molten metal flowing through the flow-guiding portion of the pot-shaped liner 2, thereby significantly improving the casting quality and avoiding defects caused by temperature fluctuations.
[0038] In addition, a fixed bracket 3-3 is provided on the outside of the hollow coil 3-1 to enhance its structural strength and ensure stability under high temperature and electromagnetic force. A protective plate 8 is installed on the furnace body 1 at the position corresponding to the flow guide of the pot-shaped liner 2. The main function of the protective plate 8 is to further enhance the structural strength of the flow guide and prevent damage caused by high temperature or mechanical stress, thereby extending the service life of the device.
[0039] Example 2:
[0040] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and 5 A pot-shaped induction melting and holding furnace is disclosed, differing from Embodiment 1 in that, in Embodiment 1, the bottom of the furnace body 1 is mounted on a base 4. One side of the base 4 is provided with a shaft groove plate 5, and the other side with a hanging shaft 6. During the tilting casting operation, the shaft groove plate 5 can be hung on the fixed shaft, and the tilting device pulls the hanging shaft 6 to control the tilt angle of the furnace body 1, thereby realizing the casting operation. The tilting device is a mature piece of equipment in the prior art, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0041] The top of the furnace body 1 is connected to the furnace cover 7 via a hinge structure. During the charging stage, the furnace cover 7 can be opened to allow the metal raw materials to be fed into the pot-shaped liner 2. During the smelting process, the furnace cover 7 can be closed, thereby effectively reducing heat loss inside the pot-shaped liner 2 and ensuring the efficiency and stability of the smelting process.
[0042] The base 4 serves as the supporting structure for the entire device, providing a stable mounting foundation for the furnace body 1 and integrating the mounting interfaces for the shaft groove plate 5 and the hanging shaft 6. The design of the shaft groove plate 5 ensures that the furnace body 1 can be reliably fixed in a preset position when tilted, while the hanging shaft 6 is connected to the tilting device, achieving the tilting operation of the furnace body 1 through mechanical traction. This design significantly improves the convenience and safety of operation while reducing the need for manual intervention.
[0043] The tilting device is connected to the furnace body 1 via a lifting shaft 6. In actual operation, when casting is required, the operator only needs to hang the shaft groove plate 5 on the fixed shaft, then start the tilting device. The lifting shaft 6 is pulled to gradually tilt the furnace body 1 until the molten metal flows smoothly into the mold. This process is highly automated, easy to operate, and effectively reduces operational risks.
[0044] The furnace lid 7 is connected to the top of the furnace body 1 via a hinge structure, allowing it to be opened and closed vertically. During charging, the lid 7 can be fully opened, facilitating the operator to add metal raw materials into the pot-shaped lining 2. During smelting, the lid 7 closes to form a sealed structure, effectively reducing heat loss and ensuring the efficiency and stability of the smelting process. Furthermore, the design of the lid 7 also considers operational safety, avoiding the risk of accidental splashing of high-temperature molten metal during operation.
[0045] The parts of this utility model not described in detail are prior art. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that this utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and are intended to include all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of equivalents within this utility model.
