Description

A silver-copper material hot melting device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing technology, specifically to a hot-melting device for silver and copper materials. Background Technology

[0002] Both silver and copper are excellent electrical and thermal conductors. Among many metals, silver boasts some of the highest electrical and thermal conductivity. This property makes silver irreplaceable in many applications where high electrical and thermal conductivity are crucial. For example, in high-precision electronic instruments, silver efficiently conducts current and heat, ensuring the proper functioning of the equipment.

[0003] Copper is renowned worldwide for its high ductility and excellent machinability. It can be easily processed into various shapes, from thin sheets and wires to complex forms, meeting diverse industrial needs. In wire manufacturing, copper's high ductility allows it to be drawn into very thin conductors, enabling the laying of more lines within limited space, while its excellent machinability ensures high production efficiency.

[0004] When these two metals are combined to form a silver-copper alloy, the alloy not only perfectly retains the excellent properties of both silver and copper, but also allows for precise control over the alloy's strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance by accurately adjusting the silver-copper ratio. This unique flexibility makes silver-copper alloys widely used in numerous fields.

[0005] Traditional furnace smelting is a common method for manufacturing silver-copper alloys. Specifically, silver and copper are placed in a furnace in a specific ratio and then heated to their melting point by flame, allowing them to fully mix and form an alloy. This method has advantages for large-scale production, as it can process large quantities of raw materials at once, producing a large volume of silver-copper alloy products. However, this method also has some significant drawbacks. First, it may require a long smelting time, which not only reduces production efficiency but also increases production costs. Second, furnace smelting consumes a high amount of energy, which is inconsistent with the current industrial development trend of energy conservation and emission reduction. Furthermore, the high-temperature flames during the smelting process pose a certain danger, potentially burning workers and creating a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Preferably, the isolation cover is provided with an observation port, which is made entirely of heat-resistant transparent sheet material, so that the melting of the internal alloy can be observed while isolating the internal heat.

[0009] Preferably, the holding device includes a crucible, a fixing device is installed below the crucible, and a support column is installed below the fixing device. The crucible and the fixing device are made of materials such as graphite and quartz, which can withstand higher temperatures without melting.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting device includes a connecting plate, a connecting post is mounted on the connecting plate, a bolt is mounted on the connecting post, and a heating wire is mounted on the bolt. The heating wire can be quickly replaced by the bolt and the connecting post.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] This silver-copper hot-melting device features an observation port on its isolation cover made entirely of heat-resistant, transparent sheet material. While effectively isolating the internal heat, it also provides operators with a convenient way to observe the alloy's melting process at any time.

[0015] Secondly, the crucible and fixing device in the holding apparatus are made of materials such as graphite and quartz, which have excellent high-temperature resistance and can withstand higher temperatures without melting.

[0016] Furthermore, the installation of the main body and the isolation chamber ensures that workers will not accidentally touch the heating device when it is performing electromagnetic heating, effectively avoiding potential injuries caused by workers touching the heating device, greatly improving workplace safety and reducing potential safety risks.

[0017] In addition, the main component of the heating device—the heating wire—is made entirely of nickel-chromium alloy. Nickel-chromium alloy possesses several excellent properties: it has high resistivity, which allows for efficient conversion of electrical energy into heat energy during heating; it also has good oxidation resistance, which helps extend the lifespan of the heating wire and reduces the inconvenience and increased costs associated with frequent replacements; furthermore, nickel-chromium alloy has a certain degree of toughness, making the heating wire less prone to breakage during installation and use, ensuring the normal operation of the heating device.

[0018] Finally, the design of the connection device also fully considers the convenience of practical use. The connection device includes a connection plate, on which a connecting post is mounted. Bolts are mounted on the connecting posts, and heating wires are mounted on the bolts. This structure allows the heating wire to be quickly replaced via bolts and connecting posts.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example: Please refer to Figure 1. This utility model provides a technical solution: a silver-copper material hot melting device, including a main body 1, a clamping and placing chamber 2 installed on the main body 1, an isolation chamber 3 installed behind the clamping and placing chamber 2, a power transfer device 4 installed behind the isolation chamber 3, an isolation cover 6 installed above the main body 1, a holding device 8 installed below the isolation cover 6, a heating device 9 installed below the holding device 8, and a connecting device 10 installed at the rear end of the heating device 9.

[0026] The isolation cover 6 is provided with an observation port 7, which is made of heat-resistant transparent plate. While isolating the internal heat, it allows observation of the melting process of the internal alloy.

[0027] In this embodiment, while serving to isolate internal heat, it also provides operators with a convenient way to observe the melting process of the alloy at any time.

[0028] The holding device 8 includes a crucible 11, a fixing device 12 is installed below the crucible 11, and a support column 13 is installed below the fixing device 12. The crucible 11 and the fixing device 12 are made of materials such as graphite and quartz, which can withstand higher temperatures without melting. Furthermore, the fixing device 12 and the support column 13 can control the heat within a certain range, preventing damage to the machine from the temperature of the molten metal.

[0029] In this embodiment, it can withstand higher temperatures without melting. Furthermore, the fixing device installed below the crucible and the supporting column below the fixing device work together to effectively control the heat within a certain range, preventing damage to the machine from the high temperature after the metal melts.

[0030] The installation of the main body 1 and the isolation chamber 3 ensures that the heating device 9 will not be accidentally touched by workers when it is performing electromagnetic heating, thus avoiding injury caused by workers touching the heating device 9.

[0031] In this embodiment, potential injuries to workers caused by touching the heating device are effectively avoided, greatly improving workplace safety and reducing potential safety risks.

[0032] The main component of the heating device 9 is the heating wire 14, which is made of nickel-chromium alloy, has high resistivity and good oxidation resistance, and also has a certain degree of toughness.

[0033] In this embodiment, the conversion of electrical energy into thermal energy can be effectively achieved during the heating process; at the same time, it also has good oxidation resistance, which helps to extend the service life of the heating wire and reduce the inconvenience and cost increase caused by frequent replacement; furthermore, the nickel-chromium alloy also has a certain degree of toughness, making the heating wire less prone to breakage during installation and use, thus ensuring the normal operation of the heating device.

[0034] The connecting device 10 includes a connecting plate 15, on which a connecting post 16 is mounted. A bolt 17 is mounted on the connecting post 16, and a heating wire 14 is mounted on the bolt 17. The heating wire 14 can be quickly replaced with the connecting post 16 via the bolt 17.

[0035] In this embodiment, the heating wire can be quickly replaced via bolts and connectors. If the heating wire malfunctions or needs to be replaced with a heating wire of a different specification, the operation can be completed quickly, reducing equipment downtime and improving work efficiency.

[0036] Working Principle: In actual use, firstly, the silver-copper material prepared according to the specific ratio is placed into crucible 11. During this process, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy of the operation to avoid spillage or unnecessary damage to the crucible. After confirming that the silver-copper material has been completely placed into crucible 11, the isolation cover 6 is closed. After the isolation cover 6 is closed, a relatively closed environment is formed inside, which helps to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent operations, maintains the temperature, and prevents external impurities from entering.

[0037] Next, the entire device is started via control device 5. The current converted by power converter 4 is introduced into heating wire 14 via connecting device 10. Connecting device 10 acts as a bridge, ensuring stable current transmission, while power converter 4 converts external power to meet the operating requirements of heating wire 14. Upon receiving the converted current, heating wire 14 begins to rapidly heat the crucible 11 within the fixing device 12. Heating wire 14 possesses highly efficient heating capabilities, releasing a large amount of heat in a short time, thereby causing the silver-copper material inside the crucible 11 to melt and fuse rapidly.

[0038] Next, it is necessary to observe through the observation port 7 whether the materials have been fully fused. After fusion is complete, the tools in the clamping chamber 2 on the side of the main body 1 are used to clamp the crucible 11 out of the fixing device 12. The tools in the clamping chamber 2 are specifically equipped for this operation; they can stably and safely clamp the crucible 11, preventing accidents during transfer. Afterward, the molten silver and copper are poured into the mold for cooling.

[0039] Because the crucible is made of a material like graphite, which possesses unique properties, its relatively smooth surface and low adsorption of molten metal significantly reduce the amount of liquid residue inside the crucible when the fused silver and copper are poured out. This not only improves material utilization but also reduces the workload of subsequent crucible cleaning.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
