[0002] Rare earth zinc alloys are an important basic material for rare earth galvanized steel sheets. The application of rare earth zinc alloys in galvanized steel sheets can improve their corrosion resistance by more than 100%, thus showing broad application prospects. However, due to the significant differences in boiling point and density between rare earth elements and zinc, rare earth elements have low solubility in zinc. This leads to problems such as furnace spraying and excessive rare earth segregation during the smelting process of rare earth zinc alloys, affecting personal and equipment safety and product quality.

The feed inlet is located at the upper end of the outer shell and is fitted with a sealing valve. An insulation layer is attached to the inner side of the outer shell. A perforated partition plate is installed inside the outer shell. A first electric heating tube is installed on the inner wall of the preheating chamber. A movable sleeve is located at the lower end of the perforated partition plate, and a stirring shaft is located at the lower end of the movable sleeve. Stirring blades are installed on the side of the stirring shaft. The second electric heating tube is located at the lower inner end of the outer shell. The beneficial effects of this utility model patent are: the device preheats the zinc alloy through the preheating chamber; the molten raw material, in small pieces, falls through the perforated partition plate into the heating zone at the bottom of the outer shell for further heating, which improves the melting efficiency of the electric heating tube and saves energy consumption; the device can also stir the zinc alloy using the stirring blades, improving heating efficiency.
[0004] CN111471876B discloses a method for preparing a zinc alloy, which provides a method for preparing a zinc alloy with low oxygen content. This method uses a smelting furnace to prepare the zinc alloy. The smelting furnace is divided into an aluminum melting zone, an alloying zone, and a purification zone by a partition wall.

The zinc alloy prepared by the method provided by this invention has a low oxygen content.

The melting chamber 1 is connected to the ingot mold chamber 2, and an isolation gate valve 3 is provided between the melting chamber 1 and the ingot mold chamber 2. This isolation gate valve 3 is preferably a gate valve. By moving the isolation gate valve 3 up and down, the two chambers, melting chamber 1 and ingot mold chamber 2, can be connected or isolated. The above-mentioned translation operation can be achieved using a chain and reducer structure, and the locking operation of the isolation gate valve 3 can be achieved hydraulically, thereby increasing the sealing reliability of the chambers.

Simultaneously, a cooling path for cooling water flow can be formed between the inner wall 111 and the outer wall 112 of the furnace body, thereby enabling the furnace body to form a double-layer vertical water-cooled structure. Specifically, the inner wall 111 is made of 304 stainless steel, and the outer wall 112 and the reinforcing ribs 113 are made of Q235 carbon steel.

When feeding using the alloy feeding mechanism 5, the alloy feeding chamber valve 52 is opened, and the lifting and rotating mechanism 53 lowers the alloy feeding hopper 54, suspended on a wire rope 56, to the crucible opening. At this time, the rotating mechanism 55 rotates and stirs the alloy feeding hopper 54 in the molten material, thereby adding the alloy material into the crucible 11. Figure 2 As shown, the rotating mechanism 55 is disposed above the alloy feeding chamber 51 and the alloy feeding hopper 54. Preferably, the rotating mechanism 55 enables the alloy feeding hopper 54 to rotate about a vertical axis, thereby realizing the rotational stirring of the alloy feeding hopper 54 in the material solution.

A flange connection is used between the induction coil 61 and the inlet / outlet electrodes 64 to increase its strength. Crucible supports 66 are provided on the insulating plates 65 on both sides of the induction coil 61, thereby increasing the rotational support between the induction coil 61 and the inner wall of the furnace, reducing the load on the rotating shaft 67, and preventing deformation of the induction coil 61 and the rotating shaft 67.
[0042] Preferably, the rotating shaft 67 is coaxially powered and has a detachable water-cooled assembly structure. The tilting mechanism 63 is tilted by a motor reducer and connected to the crucible via the rotating shaft 67 to tilt the crucible. Additionally, an insulating sleeve is added between the inner and outer electrodes of the rotating shaft 67 to reduce the probability of leakage. The power supply device 62 is preferably made of wire such as high-quality copper wire.
[0043] A metal crucible is knotted inside the induction coil 61, and preferably, a pre-embedded thermocouple is used for temperature measurement. Specifically, a thermocouple, such as a type K thermocouple, is introduced from the temperature-sensing inlet flange 68 on the furnace wall and pre-embedded in the crucible wall for real-time monitoring of the crucible wall temperature. Furthermore, a temperature controller 80 is used for temperature control, controlling the power output to achieve automatic heating and temperature control. Preferably, the temperature control accuracy is ±5℃.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ingot mold system 9 includes a water-cooled ingot mold 91, an ingot mold carriage 92, water-cooled pipes 93, and an ingot mold moving device 94. The ingot mold adopts a plate structure, is made of carbon steel, and is internally divided into multiple groups. The ingot mold carriage 92 is equipped with an ingot mold fixing frame and a water-cooled pipe fixing frame. Preferably, the ingot mold carriage 92 is welded from shaped steel and steel plates, and is equipped with a barrier to prevent steel leakage from damaging the furnace body and the moving track. The water-cooled pipes 93 are made of stainless steel, fixed to the ingot mold carriage 92, and connected to the ingot mold by a metal flexible hose. A drag chain mechanism 95 drives the water-cooled pipes 93 to move synchronously with the ingot mold. The ingot mold moving device 94 includes a track, a chain, and a reducer. The ingot mold system 9 is located in the melting chamber 1 and the ingot mold chamber 2. Before casting, the ingot mold carriage 92 moves to the crucible in the melting chamber 1. After casting, the ingot mold carriage 92 moves from the melting chamber 1 to the ingot mold chamber 2 to unload the ingot, and at the same time closes the isolation gate valve to prepare for the next batch of charging and melting.
[0048] Observation scope:
[0049] An observation sight glass 10 is mounted on the melting chamber 1 for observing the operational status within the chamber. During the melting process, the material releases a large amount of volatile organic compounds, causing material dust to adhere to the sight glass and restricting observation. Therefore, the observation sight glass 10 of this invention employs a single-glass structure with a brush. Preferably, the brush is located on the inward-facing side of the sight glass 10 and can be operated from the outside. When excessive material adheres to the lens, the operator can use the brush to remove the material from the inside of the lens. Simultaneously, the brush has an automatic wear compensation function, thereby increasing its service life. Preferably, the observation sight glass 10 also includes a heat-insulating baffle made of heat-insulating material and located on the inward-facing side of the lens. When not observing, the heat-insulating baffle is closed to prevent the glass of the observation sight glass from being baked by radiant heat for extended periods.
