Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smelting furnace technology, specifically a bamboo salt medium-frequency smelting furnace. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional bamboo salt is made by repeatedly roasting raw salt (mainly sun-dried sea salt) in fresh bamboo tubes at high temperatures of 800-1300℃. The famous "purple bamboo salt" (such as Insan bamboo salt from Korea) is obtained through nine cycles of filling and roasting, hence its name "nine-roasted bamboo salt." The traditional manufacturing process of bamboo salt is time-consuming, labor-intensive, has a long production cycle, consumes a lot of resources, and is difficult to standardize. Existing literature, "Research on the Improvement of Traditional Bamboo Salt Process and the Liver-Protecting Efficacy of New Products" (Master's thesis, Zhejiang University, author: Chen Liang), proposes introducing medium-frequency melting technology into bamboo salt production. This involves replacing the traditional earthen kiln with a medium-frequency melting furnace, using raw salt (sun-dried sea salt) and bamboo leaf flavonoids (BLF) as raw materials. By controlling process parameters—roasting temperature, roasting time, heating rate, and raw material ratio—a new type of bamboo salt was produced. Compared with traditional bamboo salt, the new bamboo salt obtained by medium-frequency melting technology has many advantages in terms of physical and chemical properties, biological efficacy, degree of mechanization in manufacturing, direct production cost, and product standardization. It improves and enhances the traditional bamboo salt process, which can significantly improve the mechanization and automation level of bamboo salt manufacturing, greatly reduce labor intensity, increase production efficiency, and thus reduce manufacturing costs. It helps to realize the standardization and large-scale production of bamboo salt and has broad prospects for industrial application.

[0003] However, existing medium-frequency melting furnaces are mainly used for metal melting. When applied to bamboo salt melting and processing, they have drawbacks such as the top-out or tilting furnace body easily contaminating the bamboo salt, high melting temperature, unsafe manual operation, and inconvenient material feeding and discharging. Therefore, we propose a medium-frequency melting furnace for bamboo salt. Utility Model Content

The support component 4 supports the storage component 3. Simultaneously, during melting, the two first electric telescopic rods 41 can be controlled to retract, causing the storage tank 31 to descend into the furnace body 1.

[0022] Storage component 3 includes a storage tank 31, an arc-shaped support plate 32, a sealing plate 33, a slot 34, a fixing block 35, and a locking hole 36.

The arc-shaped baffle 8 facilitates the unloading of bamboo salt inside the storage tank 31.

[0024] The working principle of the bamboo salt medium-frequency melting furnace provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the storage tank 31 is placed above the feeding tray 52. ​​Then, the operator lifts the arc-shaped baffle 8 upward through the lifting hole 9, so that the arc-shaped limiting strip 10 is disengaged from the opening of the storage tank 31. The bamboo salt raw material is then loaded into the storage tank 31 through the opening. Subsequently, the arc-shaped baffle 8 is re-clamped. Then, the third electric telescopic rod 51 is activated to move the feeding tray 52 upward to the predetermined position. Then, the two fourth electric telescopic rods 72 are controlled to work, pushing the two moving seats 73 and the clamping bracket. 74 moves inward, causing the card holder 74 to engage in the slot 34 of the sealing disc 33, thus fixing the storage tank 31 to the moving assembly 6. Then, the motor 66 is started by the external PLC controller, driving the threaded rod 64 to rotate, which in turn moves the moving block 63 horizontally to the right along the limit rod 65 until the storage tank 31 is directly above the furnace body 1. Then, the second electric telescopic rod 43 is controlled to work, causing the locking pin 44 to engage in the locking hole 36 of the fixing block 35. Subsequently, the two fourth electric telescopic rods 72 are controlled to retract, causing the two card holders 74 to engage with the sealing disc 33. After separation, the first electric telescopic rod 41 is retracted, driving the connecting frame 42 and the storage tank 31 to move downwards along the limiting ring 2 until the storage tank 31 is fully inserted into the melting chamber of the furnace body 1 for melting. After melting, the first electric telescopic rod 41 extends, lifting the storage tank 31 above the furnace body 1. Then, the two card holders 74 are reconnected to the two card slots 34. After connection, the two second electric telescopic rods 43 are retracted, causing the two card posts 44 to separate from the card holes 36. After separation, the motor 66 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the moving block 63 to move to the left to unload the material. Above the tray 52; the fourth electric telescopic rod 72 retracts, releasing the clamp 74 from the slot 34, and the third electric telescopic rod 51 extends, raising the feeding tray 52 until it contacts the bottom of the storage tank 31; the operator opens the arc-shaped baffle 8 again, and the molten bamboo salt slides into the collection container through the inclined surface of the feeding tray 52, completing the discharge. After unloading, the third electric telescopic rod 51 retracts, and the feeding tray 52 resets; the moving component 6 moves the storage tank 31 back to its original position, and the operator can disassemble the storage tank 31 for cleaning, preparing for the next batch of molten material.

[0025] It is worth noting that the external PLC controller disclosed in the above embodiments is specifically a Siemens S7-200. The first electric telescopic rod 41, the second electric telescopic rod 43, the third electric telescopic rod 51, the fourth electric telescopic rod 72, the pressure sensor 53, and the infrared sensor 54 can be freely configured according to the actual application scenario.
