Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal smelting, and in particular to a holding furnace for non-ferrous metal smelting. Background Technology
[0002] Metallurgy is a refining technology that involves extracting metals from ores using methods such as roasting, smelting, electrolysis, and the use of chemical agents. This process reduces impurities or adds certain components to the metal, resulting in the desired metal. Metal smelting requires a melting furnace and a holding furnace. After the raw materials are melted and their chemical composition is adjusted to meet the requirements in the melting furnace, they are transferred to the holding furnace. The main function of the holding furnace is to maintain the temperature of the molten metal within the casting temperature range, ensuring the stable operation of continuous or semi-continuous casting production.
[0003] During the refining of non-ferrous metals, smelting furnaces typically release harmful heavy metal gases. When the molten metal is transferred into a holding furnace, it carries these harmful heavy metal gases into the furnace. Since the holding furnace is not equipped with ventilation components, the heavy metal gases remain inside. When workers open the furnace lid, even if they are wearing masks, they are still likely to inhale some of these heavy metal gases, which can affect their health. Utility Model Content

The outer peripheral wall of the filter plate 22 is fitted with the inner peripheral wall of the vent 16. A connecting ring plate 221 is integrally arranged on the peripheral side wall of the top of the filter plate 22. The bottom surface of the connecting ring plate 221 is fitted with the top surface of the furnace body 1. A dovetail strip 3 is provided on the top surface of the furnace body 1. The dovetail strip 3 is located on both sides of the vent 16 in the radial direction.
