Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medium-frequency heating devices, and in particular to a medium-frequency induction heating device for waste cemented carbide. Background Technology

[0002] A medium-frequency induction heating device mainly consists of a medium-frequency power supply, an induction coil, and the workpiece to be heated. The medium-frequency power supply converts industrial frequency AC power into medium-frequency AC power, typically between 1000Hz and 100kHz. When the medium-frequency current passes through the induction coil, a medium-frequency alternating magnetic field is generated around the coil. The metal workpiece within this magnetic field experiences electromagnetic induction, resulting in a closed-loop induced current, also known as eddy current. Under the resistance of the metal workpiece, the eddy current converts electrical energy into heat energy, causing the workpiece to heat up rapidly.

[0003] Hard alloys (such as tungsten-cobalt alloys) have extremely high hardness at room temperature (reaching HRA 89-93), but when heated to 800-1000℃ using medium-frequency induction heating, microcracks will form due to differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion. Vibration (frequency 10-50Hz, amplitude 0.1-2mm) can accelerate the propagation of these cracks through mechanical stress, breaking the blocky waste into particles with a diameter of 5-50mm. This reduces the energy consumption of subsequent ball milling processes. Existing medium-frequency induction heating devices lack a vibration mechanism, requiring the heated hard alloy material to be removed before vibration or hammering. Removing and processing high-temperature hard alloys not only affects energy consumption but also poses operational safety risks. To address this problem, this utility model provides a solution.

Detailed Implementation

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a medium-frequency induction heating device for waste hard alloy includes a base 1, a heat insulation sleeve 2, and a top cover 3. A magnetic yoke 4 and an induction coil 5 are installed inside the heat insulation sleeve 2. The base 1 has feet 9 at its bottom. The heat insulation sleeve 2 is mounted on the base 1. A positioning ear 10 is provided on the outer wall of the base 1, and a vertically positioned positioning rod 12 is provided on the positioning ear 10. A positioning sleeve 11 that mates with the positioning rod 12 is provided on the outer wall of the heat insulation sleeve 2. The top cover 3 covers the top of the heat insulation sleeve 2 and has a lifting ring 15. A vibrating base 7 is installed in the mounting groove on the base 1. A receiving groove 8 is formed between the outer side of the vibrating base 7 and the base 1. A vibrating base 7 is mounted on... The base 7 has a wall liner 6, and the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a mounting hole 13. The bottom of the vibrating base 7 is provided with a vibrator 14, which is located inside the mounting hole 13. The vibrator 14 is an electromagnetic vibrator. The entire vibrating base 7 vibrates, causing the heated hard alloy to break. The vibrating base 7 is provided with a material collection cavity 17. The wall liner 6 is installed above the material collection cavity 17. The bottom of the wall liner 6 is provided with a baffle plate 16. The baffle plate 16 is provided with several evenly distributed material holes. The material holes connect the inner cavity of the wall liner 6 and the material collection cavity 17. The bottom side wall of the material collection cavity 17 is provided with a downwardly inclined discharge hole 18. The discharge end of the discharge hole 18 is connected to the receiving groove 8.

[0017] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple feeding holes 18, which are evenly distributed on the bottom outer side of the material collection cavity 17. By setting multiple feeding holes 18 for feeding, it is possible to avoid the need for maintenance after a certain feeding hole 18 becomes blocked.

[0018] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two positioning ears 10 and two positioning rods 12, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 1, and two positioning sleeves 11 are provided accordingly.

The induction coil is energized to heat the waste cemented carbide material. When the temperature reaches 800-1000℃, the vibrator 14 is activated. The vibration of the vibrator 14 causes the cemented carbide to break into small particles, which pass through the baffle plate 16 and enter the collection chamber 17. They then enter the receiving trough 8 through the discharge hole 18 for unified collection. Some cemented carbide that is not completely broken remains inside the wall liner 6. After processing, the heat insulation sleeve 2 and the top cover 3 are lifted, and the cemented carbide particles are collected from the receiving trough 8.
