Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of melting furnace technology, specifically to a melting furnace feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] A melting furnace is an industrial device used to heat solid metal or non-metal materials to their melting point, turning them into a liquid state. The melting furnace generates heat by burning fuel or using electric heating elements to heat solid materials to their melting point, causing them to melt.
[0003] In the existing technology, when melting aluminum ingots in a melting furnace, the aluminum ingots are first placed on a feeding box. Workers use a forklift to align the feeding box with the inlet of the melting furnace, and then use a pusher tool to push all the aluminum ingots into the melting furnace, thus achieving the effect of feeding the melting furnace.
[0004] However, when the furnace opens its feed inlet, the temperature at the inlet is high, which makes it inconvenient for workers to push the aluminum ingots in. Furthermore, it is time-consuming and laborious for workers to repeatedly push the aluminum ingots into the furnace using push rods, thus affecting the feeding efficiency of the furnace.

[0032] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a melting furnace feeding device includes: a melting furnace 1, a feeding box 5, and a drive assembly.
[0034] A feed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the melting furnace 1, and a feed inlet 13 is opened at the top of the melting furnace 1. A bottom plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the melting furnace 1. The feed plate 12 and the feed inlet 13 are interconnected. A transition plate 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the feed plate 12. The side of the feeding box 5 is abutted against the transition plate 11. A push plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the feeding box 5. The drive assembly is fixedly connected to the side of the feeding box 5. The drive assembly is used to drive the push plate 8 to slide, placing the aluminum ingot in the feeding box 5 for support, and then feeding it. When the feeding box 5 is moved to the side of the transition plate 11 by a forklift, the forklift holds the feeding box 5 and the side of the transition plate 11 together. At this time, the drive component runs and pushes the push plate 8 to move. The push plate 8 moves along the inner wall of the feeding box 5 and pushes the aluminum ingot carried by the feeding box 5 to the feeding plate 12 in one go. Then it falls into the melting furnace 1 from the feeding port 13. This achieves the effect of feeding the aluminum ingot into the melting furnace 1 in one go, avoiding the time-consuming and laborious phenomenon of workers using tools to feed the aluminum ingot.
[0035] The transition plate 11 achieves the effect of transitioning aluminum ingots, preventing aluminum ingots from falling off the feeding box 5 and being directly poured into the feeding plate 12, thus ensuring sufficient feeding of aluminum ingots. The drive component achieves the effect of automatically pushing the push plate 8, preventing the hot air in the melting furnace 1 from directly affecting the workers.
[0036] In some specific implementations, the bottom end of the cross-section of the transition plate 11 is inclined toward the feed inlet 13. The inclined arrangement of the transition plate 11 can ensure that aluminum ingots falling on the transition plate 11 can automatically slide down to the feed plate 12.
[0037] In some specific embodiments, the push plate 8 has a side plate 10 on its side end, and a connecting rod 9 is provided between the side plate 10 and the push plate 8. The two ends of the connecting rod 9 are fixedly connected to the side plate 10 and the push plate 8, respectively. The drive assembly is located at the end of the feeding box 5 away from the feed inlet 13, and the axis of the drive assembly coincides with the axis of the connecting rod 9. The drive assembly includes a drive motor 6 and a threaded rod 7. The push plate 8 has a threaded hole 15 extending through the interior of the connecting rod 9 along its axis. The inner wall of the threaded hole 15 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 7. The side end of the drive motor 6 is fixedly connected to the feeding box 5, and the side end of the threaded rod 7 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 6. The drive unit 6 has support frames 19 fixedly connected to both ends. The support frames 19 are L-shaped and their sides are fixedly connected to the feeding box 5. When the drive unit is running, the drive unit 6 drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 7 drives the push plate 8 and the connecting rod 9 to move through the threaded connection with the threaded hole 15. The push plate 8 pushes the aluminum ingot to move along the inner wall of the feeding box 5. At the same time, the push plate 8 drives the side plate 10 to move through the connecting rod 9. The push plate 8 and the side plate 10 are connected together through the connecting rod 9. The push plate 8 and the side plate 10 can seal the two sides of the feeding box 5 to prevent the aluminum ingot from leaking from the two sides of the feeding box 5.
[0038] In some specific implementations, the push plate 8 is fixedly connected to slide plates 17 at both ends, and the top sides of the feeding box 5 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 16. The slide plates 17 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding grooves 16, and the slide plates 17 are locked to the inner wall of the sliding grooves 16. When the push plate 8 slides along the inner wall of the feeding box 5, the push plate 8 carries the slide plates 17 to slide along the inner wall of the sliding grooves 16. The locked connection between the slide plates 17 and the inner wall of the sliding grooves 16 provides a limiting support for the push plate 8, preventing the push plate 8 from tilting.
[0039] In some specific implementations, the bottom plate 2 is provided with a support plate 4 at the top, the support plate 4 is abutted and connected to the bottom end of the feeding box 5, the side end of the support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the transition plate 11, and the two ends of the support plate 4 are respectively fixedly connected to limit plates 14, the limit plates 14 are in contact with the feeding box 5, the support plate 4 has two sets of fork slots 18, and four sets of support columns 3 are provided between the support plate 4 and the bottom plate 2. The four sets of support columns 3 are respectively located around the support plate 4, and the upper and lower ends of the support columns 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom plate 2 and the support plate 4. When the forklift places the feeding box 5 on the support plate 4, the forklift first moves the feeding box 5 to the top of the support plate 4, and then moves the two sides of the feeding box 5 vertically downward in contact with the limit plates 14. When the forklift's forks move to the fork slots 18, the bottom end of the feeding box 5 abuts against the support plate 4. The bottom plate 2 provides support for the support plate 4 through the support columns 3, and the support plate 4 provides support for the feeding box 5.
[0040] The foregoing has described several embodiments of this utility model in detail, but these embodiments are not limited thereto and should not be considered as limiting the scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the claims of this utility model should still fall within the patent coverage of this utility model.
