Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smelting technology, and in particular to a smelting apparatus for processing waste copper. Background Technology

[0002] A smelting apparatus is a specialized device used to heat and melt solid metals or waste materials, transforming them into a liquid state for further processing. Its core function is to provide a high-temperature environment through a controllable heat source (such as fuel combustion, electricity, etc.), causing the metal to break down its solid molecular structure and enter a molten state.

[0003] Existing smelting devices simply use an electric heating system to heat and smelt scrap copper, which makes it difficult for the flux to fully contact the scrap. Impurities may be trapped inside the unmelted copper block or form a dense slag layer on the surface of the molten copper, hindering further reaction and thus reducing the efficiency of the fusion melting process. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a smelting device for processing waste copper.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a smelting device for processing waste copper, including a smelting mechanism, a discharging mechanism and a feeding mechanism, wherein the smelting mechanism is located at the bottom of the feeding mechanism and the discharging mechanism is located at the bottom of the smelting mechanism;

[0006] The smelting mechanism includes a shell, an inner wall of which has a groove, a slider is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the groove, a smelting tank is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slider, a stirring plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the smelting tank, a gear ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the smelting tank, a gear is meshed with the gear ring, a fixing rod is fixedly connected inside the gear, a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod, and the motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the shell.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the melting tank melts the raw materials inside after being powered on. A stirring plate is fixed inside the melting tank, and a slider and a gear ring are fixed on the outer wall of the melting tank. The motor drives the gear to rotate through the fixed rod. The gear meshes with the gear ring, causing the slider to rotate on the outer wall of the chute, thereby allowing the raw materials and flux inside to fully fuse, thus improving the reaction rate and accelerating the melting efficiency. At the same time, the stirring plate ensures the consistency of temperature and composition inside the melting tank, reducing the need for secondary heating due to incomplete reaction, which saves energy consumption and improves product purity.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the discharge mechanism includes a base, a motor is fixedly connected inside the base, and a worm gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, a fixed block is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the end of the worm gear away from the motor, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed block.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the support plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base, the worm gear is meshed with a worm wheel, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the worm wheel, the connecting rod is rotatably connected inside the support plate, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer shell.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, the motor drives the worm to rotate, the worm meshes with the worm wheel, and the worm wheel drives the connecting rod to rotate, so that the connecting rod rotates inside the support plate. At the same time, the connecting rod is fixed to the outer shell, so that the melting tank rotates around the connecting rod as the center. At this time, the melted product is discharged through the top of the melting tank, preparing for the next melting.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the feeding mechanism includes a support plate 1, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base, and a motor 2 is fixedly connected inside the support plate 1.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above scheme, a gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor, a gear is meshed with a second gear, and a fixing rod is fixedly connected inside the second gear.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the first fixed rod is rotatably connected inside the first support plate, the outer wall of the first fixed rod is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, the end of the connecting plate away from the first fixed rod is rotatably connected to the second fixed rod, and the outer wall of the second fixed rod is fixedly connected to a conveyor belt.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, motor 2 drives gear 1 to rotate. When gear 1 meshes with gear 2, gear 2 drives fixed rod 1 to rotate, thereby driving conveyor belt 1 to adjust the angle of fixed rod 1 as the center, so that the raw material is transported into the melting tank through the conveyor belt. Automatic feeding reduces downtime and improves production efficiency.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention utilizes an electric melting tank to melt the raw materials inside. A stirring plate is fixed inside the melting tank, while a slider and a gear ring are fixed to the outer wall. A motor drives a gear to rotate via a fixed rod. The gear meshes with the gear ring, causing the slider to rotate on the outer wall of the groove. This allows the raw materials and flux inside to fully fuse, thereby increasing the reaction rate and accelerating the melting efficiency. At the same time, the stirring plate ensures the consistency of temperature and composition inside the melting tank, reducing the need for secondary heating due to incomplete reaction. This saves energy consumption and improves product purity.

[0018] This invention uses a motor to drive a gear to rotate. When gear one meshes with gear two, gear two drives a fixed rod to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt to adjust its angle around the fixed rod. This allows the raw material to be transported into the melting tank via the conveyor belt. Automatic feeding reduces downtime and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

A motor 109 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod 108. The motor 109 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 101.

[0029] The discharge mechanism 2 includes a base 201, a motor 202 is fixedly connected inside the base 201, and a worm gear 203 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 202.

[0030] A fixing block 204 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the end of the worm gear 203 away from the motor 202, and a support plate 205 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 204.

[0031] The support plate 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 201. The worm gear 203 is meshed with the worm wheel 206. The inner wall of the worm wheel 206 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 207. The connecting rod 207 is rotatably connected inside the support plate 205 and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer shell 101.

[0032] The feeding mechanism 3 includes a support plate 301, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base 201, and a motor 302 is fixedly connected inside the support plate 301.

[0033] The output end of motor 2 302 is fixedly connected to gear 1 303, gear 1 303 is meshed with gear 2 304, and a fixing rod 1 305 is fixedly connected inside gear 2 304.

[0035] The implementation principle of the smelting device for processing waste copper in this embodiment is as follows: Motor 2 302 drives gear 1 303 to rotate. When gear 1 303 meshes with gear 2 304, gear 2 304 drives fixed rod 1 305 to rotate, thereby driving conveyor belt 308 to adjust its angle around fixed rod 1 305, so that the raw material is transported to the smelting tank 104 through conveyor belt 308.

Motor 109 drives gear 107 to rotate through fixed rod 108. Gear 107 meshes with gear ring 106, causing slider 103 to rotate on the outer wall of chute 102, so that the raw material inside is smelted. The agents are fully fused, thereby increasing the reaction rate and accelerating the melting efficiency. At the same time, the stirring plate 105 ensures the consistency of temperature and composition within the melting tank 104, reducing the need for secondary heating due to incomplete reaction. This saves energy consumption and improves product purity. Before the melted liquid needs to be removed, the conveyor belt 308 rotates again around the fixed rod 305 to provide clearance for the discharge mechanism 2. After melting is completed, the motor 202 drives the worm gear 203 to rotate. The worm gear 203 meshes with the worm wheel 206, which drives the connecting rod 207 to rotate. The connecting rod 207 rotates inside the support plate 205 and is fixed to the outer shell 101. This causes the melting tank 104 to rotate around the connecting rod 207. The melted product is then discharged through the top of the melting tank 104, preparing for the next melting cycle.
