Description

A furnace for smelting master alloy blocks Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of alloy block smelting technology, and in particular to a master alloy block smelting furnace. Background Technology

[0002] The master alloy ingot smelting furnace is a key piece of equipment used to prepare high-performance master alloys. It is widely used in aerospace, electronic devices, and special materials. As a base material, the compositional uniformity and physical properties of the master alloy directly affect the quality of subsequent processed products. Traditional smelting furnaces usually adopt a high-temperature melting process to mix various metal or non-metal elements in a molten state and obtain alloy ingots with a predetermined composition by cooling and shaping. However, due to the density differences of metal elements and the influence of temperature gradients during the melting process, the material in the melting tank is prone to compositional segregation, resulting in uneven internal structure of the alloy ingot. Therefore, how to achieve sufficient stirring of the material in the melting tank and ensure compositional uniformity has become an important challenge in master alloy ingot smelting technology.

[0003] In the prior art, the mixing of molten materials in the master alloy block smelting furnace is usually achieved by mechanical stirring or electromagnetic stirring. Mechanical stirring is achieved by driving the stirring paddle to rotate by a motor, using the shear force of the paddle blades to break the laminar flow state of the molten material and promote element diffusion. Electromagnetic stirring relies on an alternating magnetic field to induce eddy currents in the molten metal, generating Lorentz force to drive the movement of the melt.

[0004] The main problem with existing technologies is that the material in the middle and bottom of the molten tank is difficult to be fully stirred, resulting in uneven composition. Due to the limited effective range of the stirring paddle or electromagnetic field, high-density metal elements are easily deposited at the bottom of the molten tank, forming compositional segregation. At the same time, the fluidity of the melt at the bottom is poor, and traditional stirring methods are unable to generate sufficient shear force to break the deposited layer. This unevenness will directly affect the performance consistency of the master alloy block and may even lead to defects in subsequent processed products. Therefore, a master alloy block smelting furnace is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a master alloy block smelting furnace, which aims to improve the problem of uneven composition of materials in the molten tank due to the difficulty in fully stirring the middle and bottom of the material in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a master alloy block smelting furnace, including a pad plate, a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the pad plate, a molten tank fixedly connected inside the support frame, a feeding frame fixedly connected to the top of the molten tank, a vacuum pump provided at the top of the molten tank, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the molten tank, a transmission roller fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a fixing rod one fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission roller, a fixing rod two fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission roller, and a stirring assembly provided on the outer wall of the fixing rod two;

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The push rod is slidably connected inside the shaping cavity, and the other end of the push rod is fixedly connected to a push frame.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A fixed plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the push rod, and a notch frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the push rod.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The notch frame is rotatably connected to a pulley, and the side wall of the notch frame is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] A spring is fitted on the outer wall of the push rod. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shaping cavity, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, the transmission roller is driven to rotate by the output end of the motor. The rotation of the transmission roller drives the first fixed rod and the second fixed rod to rotate. The rotation of the first fixed rod and the second fixed rod drives the stirring rod and the scraper to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of stirring the middle and bottom of the melting tank. This solves the problem of uneven composition of the material in the melting tank due to the difficulty in fully stirring the middle and bottom, and improves the compositional uniformity of the master alloy block.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, the push frame pushes the notch frame to make the pulley slide within the groove of the pad, thereby pushing the fixed plate to drive the push rod to slide into the molding cavity. At the same time, the push plate slides inside the molding cavity and the spring is compressed, thereby achieving the effect of pushing and unloading the master alloy block inside the molding cavity. This solves the problem that the master alloy block is difficult to remove from the molding cavity after cooling and forming, and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Referring to Figures 1-5, a conveying pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the melting tank 3. The conveying pipe 5 is used to transport molten metal from the melting tank 3 to the shaping cavity 4 to complete the casting.

[0036] Working principle: When producing master alloy blocks using a smelting furnace, the master alloy raw material to be melted is placed inside the melting tank 3. After the raw material melts, the output of the starting motor 8 drives the transmission roller 10 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission roller 10 drives the fixed rod 11 and the fixed rod 13 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed rod 11 and the fixed rod 13 synchronously drives the stirring rod 12 and the scraper 14 to rotate inside the melting tank 3. The stirring rod 12 stirs in the middle of the melting tank 3, and the scraper 14 stirs at the bottom of the melting tank 3, thereby achieving the purpose of uniformly mixing the molten material inside the melting tank 3. Then, the molten metal is introduced through the control valve 6. The material is conveyed through the conveying pipe 5 to the shaping cavity 4 for cooling and shaping. After cooling and shaping, the push frame 21 is pushed to move the fixed plate 18 and the notch frame 20. The movement of the fixed plate 18 and the notch frame 20 causes the push rod 16 to slide into the shaping cavity 4. At the same time, the pulley 19 inside the notch frame 20 slides in the groove on the top of the pad 1. The movement of the push rod 16 pushes the push plate 22 inside the shaping cavity 4 to slide inside it. At the same time, the spring 17 is compressed, and the sealing door 15 is opened before pushing, thereby achieving the purpose of pushing and unloading the master alloy block. Then, the spring 17 releases the elastic force to reset the push plate 22, thus preparing for subsequent unloading.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
