Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medium frequency furnace technology, specifically to an automatic feeding mechanism for a medium frequency furnace. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of an intermediate frequency furnace is electromagnetic induction heating: the furnace rectifies three-phase AC power into DC power through a rectifier, and then converts the DC power into adjustable intermediate frequency current through an inverter. The intermediate frequency current passes through the induction coil, generating high-density magnetic lines of force. These magnetic lines of force cut through the metal material within the induction coil, generating large eddy currents in the metal material. Utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction, the metal material is heated until it melts. Related effects are utilized, including the skin effect (the current density is highest on the surface of the metal when AC current passes through it, and lowest or even none on the center line); the proximity effect (when two pieces of metal are brought close together, the current in both metals will converge at the point of least magnetic flux); and the ring effect (when AC current passes through a circular coil, the maximum current density occurs on the inner side of the coil conductor). The intermediate frequency furnace comprehensively utilizes these three effects to heat and melt metal.

[0003] In operation, the existing feeding mechanism of the medium frequency furnace generally uses the rotation of the auger to transport materials. However, after the end cover of the feeding port of the medium frequency furnace is opened, high-temperature gas often sprays out. The high-temperature gas flows with the feeding pipe, which not only affects the entry of materials, but also easily flows towards the staff, causing safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding mechanism for a medium-frequency furnace, comprising a feeding pipe 1, a feeding storage hopper 2, a drive motor 3, a feeding auger 4, a first sprocket 5, a second sprocket 6, an auxiliary crushing knife 7, a discharge pipe 8, a mounting groove 9, a positioning baffle 10, a first magnet 11, a linkage slot 12, a second magnet 13, a piston column 14, a limiting plate 15, and an auxiliary airbag 16. The feeding storage hopper 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the feeding pipe 1, and the drive motor is fixedly connected to the side surface of the feeding pipe 1. 3. A feeding auger 4 is installed on the inner wall of the cavity of the feeding pipe 1. The feeding pipe 1 is connected to the feeding storage hopper 2 and the discharge pipe 8 respectively. The output end of the drive motor 3 passes through the side surface of the feeding pipe 1 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the feeding auger 4. When using this device, the material is first placed in the feeding storage hopper 2, and then the material is introduced into the feeding pipe 1. The drive motor 3 drives the feeding auger 4 to rotate, so that the feeding auger 4 transports the material. Finally, the material enters the discharge pipe 8 for discharge.

[0031] One end of the feeding auger 4 penetrates the inner wall of the cavity of the feed pipe 1, and a first sprocket 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the feeding auger 4. A second sprocket 6 is installed on the side of the feed storage hopper 2. An auxiliary crushing knife 7 is provided on the inner wall of the cavity of the feed storage hopper 2. The feeding auger 4 and the feed pipe 1 are rotatably connected. The first sprocket 5 and the feed pipe 1 are rotatably connected. A transmission chain is provided between the outer surface of the first sprocket 5 and the outer surface of the second sprocket 6. The second sprocket 6 and the feed storage hopper 2 are rotatably connected. The auxiliary crushing knife 7... The second sprocket 6 is rotatably connected to the feeding storage hopper 2. The shaft of the second sprocket 6 passes through the surface of the feeding storage hopper 2, and the shaft of the second sprocket 6 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the auxiliary crushing knife 7. After the material enters the discharge pipe 8, it falls down and pushes the positioning baffle 10 to rotate. When no material falls, the positioning baffle 10 is pushed to rotate horizontally by the spring on the inner wall of the mounting groove 9, which facilitates the sealing of the discharge pipe 8, thereby preventing the backflow of high temperature airflow, preventing the material transportation from being affected, and preventing injury to the user.

[0032] A discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of one end of the feeding pipe 1. The linkage adjustment mechanism includes a mounting groove 9, which is opened on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 8. A positioning baffle 10 is provided on the surface of the mounting groove 9. A first magnet 11 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of one end of the positioning baffle 10. A linkage slot 12 is opened on the inner wall surface of the discharge pipe 8. A second magnet 13 is connected to the inner wall of the linkage slot 12. A piston column 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second magnet 13. A limit plate 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 8. An auxiliary airbag 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the limit plate 15. When the drive motor 3 drives the feeding auger 4 and the first sprocket 5 to rotate, the first sprocket 5 drives the second sprocket 6 to rotate through the transmission chain. This facilitates the second sprocket 6 to drive the auxiliary crushing knife 7 to rotate relative to the feeding storage hopper 2. The rotation of the auxiliary crushing knife 7 will cut and stir the material, improving the uniformity of the material.

[0033] The inner wall of the discharge pipe 8 is equipped with a linkage adjustment mechanism. This mechanism, through the rotation of the positioning baffle 10 in the mounting groove 9, drives the first magnet 11 to attract the second magnet 13 in the linkage slot 12, which in turn inflates the auxiliary airbag 16 on the lower surface of the limiting plate 15 via the piston column 14, improving sealing. The mounting groove 9 and the positioning baffle 10 are rotatably connected, and a spring connects them. The width of the positioning baffle 10 is greater than the width of the cavity in the discharge pipe 8. The magnetic poles of the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 13 are opposite at their opposite ends. Both the second magnet 13 and the piston column 14 are slidably connected to the discharge pipe 8. The lower end of the piston column 14... An air groove is connected to the limiting plate 15. The air groove of the limiting plate 15 is connected to the cavity of the auxiliary airbag 16. After the positioning baffle 10 rotates horizontally, the positioning baffle 10 drives the first magnet 11 to correspond to the second magnet 13, so that the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 13 attract each other, which increases the stability of the positioning baffle 10. At the same time, the second magnet 13 will drive the piston column 14 to slide in the linkage slot 12. The piston column 14 pushes air into the cavity of the limiting plate 15 and the auxiliary airbag 16, which facilitates the inflation of the auxiliary airbag 16. The auxiliary airbag 16 then fits against the surface of the positioning baffle 10, which further improves the sealing performance of the positioning baffle 10.

[0034] Working principle: When using the automatic feeding mechanism of this medium-frequency furnace, the material is first introduced into the feeding pipe 1 through the feeding storage hopper 2. The drive motor 3 drives the feeding auger 4 to rotate, which facilitates the feeding auger 4 to carry the material for conveying. The feeding auger 4 drives the first sprocket 5 to rotate. The first sprocket 5 drives the second sprocket 6 and the auxiliary crushing knife 7 to rotate through the transmission chain for stirring. The material is discharged through the discharge pipe 8. The material pushes the positioning baffle 10 to rotate and discharge. The spring on the surface of the mounting groove 9 pushes the positioning baffle 10 to rotate horizontally for sealing. At the same time, the first magnet 11 and the second magnet 13 attract each other, which facilitates the second magnet 13 to drive the piston column 14 to slide in the linkage slot 12. This allows air to enter the cavity of the limiting plate 15 and the auxiliary air bag 16, so that the auxiliary air bag 16 fits against the positioning baffle 10 for sealing, which increases the overall practicality.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
