[0030] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a preheating aluminum ingot feed channel for an aluminum furnace based on waste heat from flue gas is provided.
[0031] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the aluminum ingot preheating channel of the aluminum furnace based on waste heat of flue gas according to the embodiment of this utility model includes an aluminum furnace body 1 and a preheating cylinder 9. The preheating cylinder 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the aluminum furnace body 1. A screening plate 6 is installed in the middle of the preheating cylinder 9. A drive shaft 10 is installed through the middle of the screening plate 6. The top of the drive shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the flue gas main pipe 3 through one side of the preheating cylinder 9. Several sets of crushing blades 7 are evenly installed around the surface of the drive shaft 10 above the screening plate 6. Several sets of connecting plates 18 are evenly installed around the surface of the drive shaft 10 below the screening plate 6. Several sets of air outlet rods 17 are evenly installed on the top of the connecting plates 18. Several sets of air outlet plates 16 are evenly installed around the outer side of the air outlet rods 17 inside the bottom surface of the preheating cylinder 9. Several sets of air outlet holes 5 are opened on the surface of the air outlet plates 16, the surface of the air outlet rods 17, and the bottom surface of the drive shaft 10.
[0032] In one embodiment, one end of the flue gas main pipe 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the drive shaft 10, and the other end of the flue gas main pipe 3 is connected to the flue gas outlet on the surface of the aluminum furnace body 1.
[0033] In one embodiment, several sets of flue gas branch pipes 4 are evenly installed on one side surface of the flue gas main pipe 3. One end of the flue gas branch pipe 4 is connected to the gas outlet plate 16. The flue gas main pipe 3 and the flue gas branch pipes 4 are wrapped with heat insulation cotton to improve the heat insulation effect of the pipe, avoid a large amount of heat loss, and improve the subsequent utilization of flue gas heat.
[0034] In one embodiment, a transmission gear 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the drive shaft 10 at the top position of the preheating cylinder 9. A drive gear 12 is meshed with one side of the transmission gear 11. The drive gear 12 is connected to the output end of the motor 13. The motor 13 is located at the top position of the preheating cylinder 9. The drive gear 12 and the transmission gear 11 are common gear structures. By meshing with each other, the motor 13 can drive the drive shaft 10, which facilitates the crushing of aluminum ingots and the stirring of preheated aluminum particles, expands the heating area, and improves the overall preheating effect.
[0035] In one embodiment, a feeding box 15 is installed at an angle on the top of one side surface of the preheating cylinder 9. The feeding box 15 has an inclined slot inside. A sealing plate 14 is rotatably connected to the feeding box 15 at the contact position with the surface of the preheating cylinder 9. Torsion springs are connected to both ends of the sealing plate 14. The torsion springs are a common structure, mainly used to return the sealing plate 14 to its original position through its own deformation after rotation, so as to avoid a large amount of heat leakage.
[0036] In one embodiment, a sealing plate 2 is slidably connected to the bottom of the preheating cylinder 9. One end of the sealing plate 2 is connected to the outer surface of the preheating cylinder 9 via a cylinder 19. The sealing plate 2 is set to seal the bottom of the preheating cylinder 9. The sealing plate 2 is operated by the operation of the cylinder 19, which can realize the addition of preheated aluminum ingots, facilitating the subsequent smelting of aluminum in the aluminum furnace.
[0037] In one embodiment, an exhaust pipe is provided on one side of the top of the preheating cylinder 9, and the exhaust pipe is connected to an external flue gas purification device. The flue gas purification device is a common device in the purification field, and will not be described in detail here. The exhaust pipe is set up to smoothly discharge the flue gas after use, and to avoid the continuous introduction of internal flue gas without exhaust, which would cause excessive air pressure and thus affect the smooth introduction of flue gas.
[0038] In one embodiment, the feed box 15 is provided with a feed inlet 8 at the contact position with the surface of the preheating cylinder 9. The feed inlet 8 facilitates the addition of aluminum ingots and the installation and use of the sealing plate 14.
[0039] Working principle: In actual use, the preheating cylinder 9 can be installed at a designated position on the top of the aluminum furnace body 1 to facilitate the subsequent addition of aluminum ingots after preheating, thus facilitating subsequent smelting operations. Then, the preheating cylinder 9 can be connected to the flue gas outlet via the main flue gas pipe 3 and the branch flue gas pipe 4, allowing high-temperature flue gas to be smoothly introduced into the preheating cylinder 9 to preheat the aluminum ingots. Next, the aluminum ingots can be placed into the feeding box 15. Due to the inclined structure of the feeding box 15, the aluminum ingots inside can slide along the feeding box 15. When they slide to contact the preheating cylinder 9... After the aluminum ingot touches the preheating cylinder 9, the moving ingot pushes the sealing plate 14, causing it to rotate. The ingot then falls onto the screening disc 6 inside the preheating cylinder 9. Because the sealing plate 14 has torsion springs at both ends, the torsion springs quickly reset the plate after the ingot has moved past, reducing the opening time and preventing heat loss. Furthermore, the large gap between the opening of the feeding box 15 and the preheating cylinder 9 ensures that any small amount of heat loss will not cause burns, guaranteeing the safety of feeding. The aluminum ingot then enters the preheating cylinder 9 and is crushed by the high-speed rotating disc. The blade 7 cuts and crushes the large aluminum ingots into several groups of smaller aluminum particles. These particles then fall through the holes on the surface of the screening disc 6. At this point, high-temperature fumes emitted from the vents 5 on the drive shaft 10, the vent plate 16, and the vent rod 17 preheat the aluminum particles. Because the drive shaft 10 is continuously rotating, the hot air emitted from its vents 5 can fully contact the aluminum particles at different locations. Furthermore, the hot air emitted from the vent plate 16 flows from the outside in, while the hot air emitted from the drive shaft 10 and the vent rod 17... Since the gas flows from the inside out, multiple structures working together can preheat aluminum particles in a comprehensive, thorough, and uniform manner. Furthermore, the aluminum ingots are crushed into particles, increasing the overall contact area with the hot gas, thus achieving better preheating and improving the overall preheating quality. Smaller aluminum particles are also more convenient for subsequent smelting operations in the aluminum furnace compared to larger aluminum ingots, enhancing the overall performance. After the aluminum particles are preheated, the cylinder 19 pushes the sealing plate 2 outward, allowing the aluminum particles to fall into the aluminum furnace for use. The device as a whole has the advantages of preheating and crushing, a wide preheating range, and good preheating effect.
