Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic feeding technology for medium frequency furnaces, and specifically relates to an automatic feeding device for medium frequency furnaces. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when using an induction furnace for smelting, the furnace requires a continuous and stable supply of materials to maintain its efficient operation. If the supply is interrupted, the metal level in the furnace will drop, leading to a longer smelting cycle and a decrease in overall production efficiency. Furthermore, frequent interruptions in feeding will cause intermittent smelting, resulting in a decrease in energy utilization and an increase in energy consumption.

[0003] Patent application number 202321258495.9 proposes a conveying device for preheating an intermediate frequency furnace. Through the coordinated arrangement of a support plate, a conveying and crushing mechanism, a motor, and gears, it enables workers to crush scrap steel raw materials before feeding them into the intermediate frequency furnace body. This effectively avoids the situation where the intermediate frequency furnace body increases the processing difficulty of scrap steel raw materials due to the direct feeding of larger pieces of scrap steel into the intermediate frequency furnace without crushing them.

[0004] However, in the existing technology, it is impossible to screen out large pieces of steel that are not completely crushed. These large pieces of steel that are not completely crushed may still be sent into the medium frequency furnace, thus affecting the smelting effect. Moreover, during the smelting process in the medium frequency furnace, it is difficult to ensure that the crushed steel enters the medium frequency furnace stably and continuously, which can easily lead to interruption of the material supply.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following are specific implementation cases and appendices. Figure 1-3 The present invention will be further described below, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0025] An automatic feeding device for a medium-frequency furnace, such as Figure 1-3As shown, the system includes: a screening box 10, a crushing mechanism, a screening mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a recovery box 11, an intermediate frequency furnace 12, a discharge plate 13, and an automatic conveying mechanism; the crushing mechanism is installed inside the screening box 10; the screening mechanism is inclinedly arranged inside the screening box 10 and located below the crushing mechanism, and the side wall of the screening box 10 is provided with a recovery port 14, with the screening mechanism and the recovery port 14 being opposite each other; the lifting mechanism is arranged on one side of the screening box 10, with the recovery port 14 being opposite to the feed port of the lifting mechanism, and the discharge port of the lifting mechanism being opposite to the recovery box 11; the discharge plate 13 is inclinedly arranged inside the screening box 10 and located below the screening mechanism, with the discharge plate 13 being opposite to the discharge port 15 of the screening box 10; the automatic conveying mechanism is arranged on one side of the screening box 10, with both ends of the automatic conveying mechanism being opposite to the discharge port 15 and the feeding port of the intermediate frequency furnace 12, respectively.

[0026] Using the above structure, the steel material is crushed by the crushing mechanism, and the crushed steel material falls onto the screening mechanism for vibrating screening. The screened steel material falls onto the discharge plate 13 and moves along the discharge plate 13 to the automatic conveying mechanism. The automatic conveying mechanism drives the steel material to enter the medium frequency furnace 12 stably and continuously, so as to realize the purpose of refining the steel material into molten steel.

[0027] Large, incompletely crushed steel pieces screened out by the screening mechanism enter the lifting mechanism and fall into the recycling bin 11 for recycling, so that they can be processed in the future.

[0028] Through the coordinated design of the crushing mechanism, screening mechanism and automatic conveying mechanism, the entire process of steel crushing, screening and conveying is fully automated.

[0029] By crushing and screening the steel, large pieces of steel are prevented from entering the induction furnace 12, which would cause uneven absorption of the steel during smelting and make it difficult to refine into molten steel, thus affecting the smelting efficiency.

[0030] Specifically, the lifting mechanism is a bucket elevator, which includes a lifting motor 16, a main drive sprocket 17, a driven sprocket 18, a conveyor chain 19, and buckets 20. The lifting motor 16 provides power to the main drive sprocket 17, thereby driving the conveyor chain 19 along the main drive sprocket 17 and the driven sprocket 18, which in turn moves the buckets 20. By allowing the incompletely crushed steel material to fall into the buckets 20 of the bucket elevator, and through the drive of the conveyor chain 19 by the lifting motor 16, the buckets 20 move upward, and the recovered steel material is poured out through the discharge port into the recovery box 11 for recycling.

[0031] In an embodiment of this utility model, the crushing mechanism includes: a motor 21, a driving gear 22, a driven gear 23, a driving crushing roller 24, and a driven crushing roller 25. The driving crushing roller 24 and the driven crushing roller 25 are both disposed inside the screen box 10. The driving gear 22 and the driven gear 23 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the driving crushing roller 24 and the driven crushing roller 25, and the driving gear 22 and the driven gear 23 mesh with each other. The motor 21 is fixed on one side of the screen box 10, and the output end of the motor 21 is connected to the driving crushing roller 24.

[0032] The motor 21 drives the active crushing roller 24 and the active gear 22 to rotate. The active gear 22 meshes with the driven gear 23 to drive the driven crushing roller 25 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of crushing steel through the active crushing roller and the driven crushing roller 25.

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, the screening mechanism includes: a support assembly, a vibrating screen plate 26, and a vibrating motor 27; the support assembly includes a support block 28 and a spring 29, the support block 28 is disposed in the screening box 10, and the two ends of the spring 29 are respectively connected to the support block 28 and the vibrating screen plate 26; the vibrating screen plate 26 is inclinedly disposed in the screening box 10, and the vibrating screen plate 26 is opposite to the position of the recovery port 14; the vibrating motor 27 is installed at the bottom of the vibrating screen plate 26.

[0034] The vibrating motor 27, the vibrating screen plate 26, and the spring 29 work together to vibrate the vibrating screen plate 26 and screen the crushed steel material. The qualified steel material falls onto the discharge plate 13 through the screen holes of the vibrating screen plate 26, while the unqualified steel material moves along the vibrating screen plate 26 to the recovery port 14 and enters the bucket elevator.

[0035] Specifically, qualified steel is steel with a volume smaller than the sieve aperture, while unqualified steel is steel with a volume larger than the sieve aperture.

[0036] In an embodiment of this utility model, the automatic feeding mechanism includes: a mounting base 30, a drive roller, a driven roller, a feeding belt 31, and a transmission mechanism; the mounting base 30 is disposed on one side of the screening box 10, and the two ends of the mounting base 30 are respectively opposite to the discharge port 15 and the feeding port of the medium frequency furnace 12; the drive roller and the driven roller are respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting base 30, and the feeding belt 31 is simultaneously wound around the outside of the drive roller and the driven roller; the transmission mechanism includes a feeding motor 32 and a reducer 33, the output end of the feeding motor 32 is connected to the input end of the reducer 33, and the output end of the reducer 33 is connected to the drive roller.

[0037] The conveying motor 32 drives the active roller shaft to rotate, causing the conveying belt 31 to move along the active roller shaft and the driven roller shaft, thereby moving the steel material on the conveying belt 31 to the feeding port of the medium frequency furnace 12, thus achieving the purpose of stable feeding.

[0038] Specifically, the automatic feeding design can prevent workers from being scalded by the high-temperature hot air at the feeding port of the medium-frequency furnace 12.

[0040] The hydraulic cylinder 34 extends and retracts, driving the pusher plate 35 to move, pushing the steel material remaining on the discharge plate 13 to the discharge port 15 for discharge, thus preventing steel material from remaining on the discharge plate 13 and being difficult to discharge. When the hydraulic cylinder 34 drives the pusher plate 35 to move, the clearance groove 36 plays a role in clearance, ensuring the smooth movement of the connecting block 37.

[0041] In an embodiment of this utility model, a guide plate 38 is provided on the discharge plate 13, and the guide plate 38 is positioned opposite to the discharge port 15.

[0042] By providing a guide plate 38 on the discharge plate 13, the steel material is guided and discharged smoothly through the discharge port 15.

[0043] In an embodiment of this utility model, an anti-splash plate 39 is provided at the feeding port of the medium frequency furnace 12.

[0044] By setting up anti-splash plate 39, the steel material is prevented from splashing outside when it is conveyed to the feeding port of the intermediate frequency furnace 12.
