Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-ferrous metal smelting technology, specifically to an automatic feeding device for non-ferrous alloy smelting. Background Technology

[0002] Non-ferrous metal alloys are alloys composed of a non-ferrous metal as the base material and one or more other elements added. Compared with ferrous metals such as iron and steel, non-ferrous metal alloys have many excellent properties. Their strength and hardness are generally higher than those of pure metals, and they have good comprehensive mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. They are often used to manufacture chemical containers and related equipment parts.

[0003] Current non-ferrous metal smelting methods utilize electromagnetic induction heating. Electromagnetic induction heating, or simply induction heating, is a method for heating conductive materials such as metals. It is primarily used for metal hot working, heat treatment, welding, and melting. It uses electromagnetic induction to generate an internal current in the material being heated, relying on the energy of these eddy currents to achieve the heating purpose. However, high-frequency induction heating equipment requires manual feeding during the metal heating process via coils. This feeding process can cause molten metal to splash, thus affecting the smelting efficiency of non-ferrous alloys. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide an automatic feeding device for non-ferrous alloy smelting, which solves the technical problems that existing automatic feeding devices for non-ferrous alloy smelting require manual feeding and cannot perform automatic feeding, and that the feeding process causes splashing of molten metal, thereby affecting the smelting efficiency of non-ferrous alloys.

[0005] According to the technical solution provided in the embodiments of this application, an automatic feeding device for non-ferrous alloy smelting includes a feeding component, which is installed on the top of a heating coil at the front end of the smelting equipment body for automatically feeding crucibles placed on the heating coil.

[0006] The feeding assembly includes a first moving mechanism, a second moving mechanism, a feeding box, and a conveying mechanism. The first moving mechanism is horizontally mounted on the front end of the mounting plate and is used for horizontal movement of the feeding box. The second moving mechanism is vertically mounted on the first moving mechanism and is used for vertical adjustment of the feeding box. The feeding box is vertically mounted on the front end of the second moving mechanism and is used for feeding non-ferrous alloy raw materials. The conveying mechanism is mounted on the top of the feeding box and is used for uniform feeding of non-ferrous alloy raw materials.

[0007] The feeding box has a protective cover at its bottom. The protective cover has a conical structure with an open bottom, which covers the opening at the top of the crucible to prevent the molten non-ferrous metal inside the crucible from splashing during the feeding process.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the feeding box is connected to a solvent-coating pipe and a feed pipe for replenishing the solvent or alloy raw materials in the feeding box.

[0009] Furthermore, a valve is installed on the discharge pipe in the middle of the feeding box to control the opening and closing of the discharge port on the discharge pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a first rotation drive, a rotating shaft, and a conveying plate. The conveying plate is mounted on the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the first rotation drive, so that the first rotation drive drives the conveying plate to rotate within the feeding box.

[0011] Furthermore, the first moving mechanism includes a first telescopic drive member, a first telescopic rod, two first slide rails, and a first moving plate. The two first slide rails are horizontally arranged side by side and spaced apart on the mounting plate. The first moving plate is provided with corresponding first slide grooves so that each first slide groove on the first moving plate is slidably engaged with the corresponding first slide rail. The side of the first moving plate is connected to the first telescopic rod, and the first telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first telescopic drive member so that the first telescopic drive member drives the first moving plate to move along the length direction of the first slide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the second moving mechanism includes a second telescopic drive member, a second telescopic rod, two second slide rails, and a second moving plate. The two second slide rails are vertically arranged side by side and spaced apart on the first moving plate. The second moving plate is provided with corresponding second slide grooves so that each second slide groove on the second moving plate can slide and engage with the corresponding second slide rail. The top of the second moving plate is connected to the second telescopic rod, and the second telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the second telescopic drive member so that the second telescopic drive member drives the second moving plate to move along the length direction of the second slide rail, thereby adjusting the vertical height of the second moving plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the conveyor plate has a spiral structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the protective cover at the bottom of the feeding box is made of high-temperature resistant material to prevent the feeding box from melting during the splashing process, thus affecting the normal use of the feeding box.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0016] 1. By setting a feeding component on the automatic feeding device, the first moving mechanism on the feeding component adjusts the horizontal position of the feeding box so that the feeding box moves from the side to the top of the crucible. The second moving mechanism drives the feeding box to move vertically downward, thereby covering the top of the crucible, opening the valve on the feeding box, and then starting the conveying mechanism so that the non-ferrous metal raw materials and flux in the feeding box are uniformly conveyed into the crucible, thereby improving the feeding efficiency and feeding quality of non-ferrous alloys.

[0017] Second, by setting a feeding box with a protective cover on the automatic feeding device, the protective cover on the feeding box moves downward in the vertical direction under the drive of the second moving mechanism, so that the protective cover covers the top of the crucible, thereby protecting the molten liquid splashed during the feeding process, thereby improving the smelting efficiency of the feeding device for non-ferrous alloys.

[0026] An automatic feeding device for non-ferrous alloy smelting has the following structure: Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a feeding assembly 100, which is installed on top of a heating coil at the front end of the smelting equipment body 200. This assembly automatically feeds the crucible placed on the heating coil, replacing manual feeding and enabling automatic feeding of non-ferrous alloys during the smelting process. It also prevents molten liquid from splashing and improves the safety of non-ferrous alloy melting. The feeding assembly 100 includes a first moving mechanism 110, a second moving mechanism 120, a feeding box 130, and a conveying mechanism 140. The first moving mechanism 110 is horizontally mounted on the front end of the mounting plate 150, driving the feeding box 130 to move horizontally to the top of the crucible. The second moving mechanism 120 is vertically mounted on top of the first moving mechanism 110. On the 10th, the second moving mechanism 120 drives the feeding box 130 to move downwards in the vertical direction, thereby covering the top of the crucible during the downward movement of the feeding box 130. A conveying mechanism 140 is installed on the top of the feeding box 130. After the conveying mechanism 140 is started, the non-ferrous alloy raw materials and flux in the feeding box 130 are evenly fed into the crucible for melting. The feeding box 130 has a protective cover 131 at its bottom. The protective cover 131 is made of high temperature resistant material to prevent the feeding box 130 from melting during the splashing process, which would affect the normal use of the feeding box 130. The protective cover 131 has a conical structure with an open bottom, which covers the opening at the top of the crucible to prevent the non-ferrous metal molten metal in the crucible from splashing during the feeding process, thereby improving the automatic feeding safety of the feeding device.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the feeding box 130 is connected to a flux pipe 132 and a feed pipe 133 so that the flux pipe 132 and the feed pipe 133 can be used to replenish the solvent or alloy raw materials in the feeding box 130.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 A valve 134 is installed on the discharge pipe in the middle of the feeding box 130. Activating the valve 134 opens the discharge port on the discharge pipe, allowing the non-ferrous alloy raw materials and flux in the feeding box 130 to enter the crucible from the discharge port. After feeding is completed, the valve 134 is closed, thus completing the automatic feeding of non-ferrous alloys and improving the feeding efficiency and quality of the automatic feeding device for non-ferrous alloy smelting.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The conveying mechanism 140 includes a first rotating drive 141, a rotating shaft 142, and a conveying plate 143. The conveying plate has a spiral structure. The conveying plate 143 is mounted on the rotating shaft 142, and the rotating shaft 142 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first rotating drive 141, so that the first rotating drive 141 drives the rotating shaft 142 on which the conveying plate 143 is mounted to rotate, thereby causing the rotating conveying plate 143 to rotate and convey the non-ferrous alloy raw materials and flux in the feeding box 130 to the discharge port of the discharge pipe, so that the non-ferrous alloy raw materials and flux are evenly fed into the crucible for melting.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first moving mechanism 110 includes a first telescopic drive, a first telescopic rod, two first slide rails, and a first moving plate. The two first slide rails are horizontally arranged side by side and spaced apart on the mounting plate 150. The first moving plate is provided with corresponding first slide grooves so that each first slide groove on the first moving plate can slide and engage with the corresponding first slide rail. The side of the first moving plate is connected to the first telescopic rod. The first telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the first telescopic drive so that the first telescopic drive drives the first telescopic rod to extend in the horizontal direction, thereby pushing the first moving plate connected to the first telescopic rod to move in the horizontal direction along the first slide rail, thereby adjusting the feeding box 130 to move in the horizontal direction to the top of the crucible.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second moving mechanism 120 includes a second telescopic drive, a second telescopic rod, two second slide rails, and a second moving plate. The two second slide rails are vertically arranged side by side and spaced apart on the first moving plate. The second moving plate is provided with corresponding second slide grooves so that each second slide groove on the second moving plate is slidably engaged with the corresponding second slide rail. The top of the second moving plate is connected to the second telescopic rod, and the second telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the second telescopic drive so that the second telescopic drive drives the second telescopic rod to extend in the vertical direction, thereby pushing the second moving plate connected to the bottom of the second telescopic rod to move in the vertical direction along the second slide rail, thereby causing the feeding box 130 installed on the second moving plate to move down so that the protective cover 131 installed at the bottom of the feeding box 130 covers the top of the crucible.

[0032] The working principle of the automatic feeding device for non-ferrous alloy smelting of this utility model is as follows:

[0033] During the automatic feeding process of the automatic feeding device into the crucible for melting, the crucible is placed on the heating coil, which heats the crucible. This activates the feeding assembly 100, causing the first moving mechanism 110 on the feeding assembly 100 to activate. This causes the first telescopic drive member to extend the first telescopic rod horizontally, which in turn pushes the first moving plate connected to the first telescopic rod to move horizontally along the first slide rail. This adjusts the feeding box 130 to move horizontally to the top of the crucible. Simultaneously, the second moving mechanism 120 is activated, causing the second telescopic drive member to extend the second telescopic rod vertically, which in turn pushes the second moving plate connected to the bottom of the second telescopic rod to move horizontally along the second slide rail. The vertical movement of the rail causes the feeding box 130 mounted on the second moving plate to move downwards, so that the protective cover 131 mounted at the bottom of the feeding box 130 covers the top of the crucible, thereby protecting the molten metal splashed during the feeding process and improving the smelting efficiency of the feeding device for non-ferrous alloys. The valve 134 on the feeding box 130 is opened, thereby activating the conveying mechanism 140, causing the first rotating drive component 141 on the conveying mechanism 140 to drive the rotating shaft 142 to rotate, causing the spiral conveying plate 143 mounted on the rotating shaft 142 to rotate, thereby ensuring that the non-ferrous metal raw materials and flux in the feeding box 130 are evenly conveyed into the crucible, thereby improving the feeding efficiency and quality of the automatic feeding device for non-ferrous alloys.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and an explanation of the technical principles and solutions employed. Furthermore, the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the specific combination of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in this application.
