Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smoke exhaust equipment, and in particular to a vacuum lifting and exhaust system for molten aluminum. Background Technology
[0002] Vacuum ladle is a commonly used turnover equipment in the metallurgical industry. It is a relatively large sealed container made of steel shell and refractory material lining. It relies on its built-in negative pressure generating device to create a certain degree of vacuum inside the ladle, so as to extract the smelted liquid aluminum, magnesium and other metals from the electrolytic cell and transfer them to other places.
[0003] In the prior art, a vacuum lifting and fume extraction device for molten aluminum, with patent publication number CN222400754U, includes an electrolytic cell and a cleaning assembly. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom left end of the electrolytic cell, and a filter chamber is connected to the right end of the drain pipe. A threaded groove is provided at the right end of the filter chamber to prevent clogging of the filter chamber's pores. The cleaning assembly is installed inside the filter chamber. The cleaning assembly includes a sealing cover, a support rod, a filling chamber, a cleaning ring, a groove, a spring, and an arc-shaped scraper. The support rod is fixedly installed at the left end of the sealing cover, and a filling chamber is provided inside the support rod. A cleaning ring is fixedly installed at the left end of the filling chamber, and a groove is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning ring. A spring is vertically arranged inside the groove, and an arc-shaped scraper is fixedly installed at the top of the spring. The arc-shaped scraper is slidably connected to the groove. This vacuum lifting and fume extraction device for molten aluminum not only scrapes impurities inside the filter chamber but also increases the flow of gas inside the electrolytic cell.
[0004] In the above technical solution, the aluminum liquid electrolysis cell generates high temperature during the electrolysis process, and the temperature of the flue gas generated by the high temperature is also too high. If the high temperature flue gas is directly discharged, it will cause pollution to the atmosphere. Furthermore, if the high temperature smoke is directly discharged, it will flow through the exhaust fan, causing the exhaust fan to be in a high temperature state for a long time, which will accelerate the damage of the motor. Therefore, we propose an aluminum liquid vacuum lifting ladle smoke exhaust system. Utility Model Content

[0013] Beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This design provides an aluminum molten metal vacuum ladle exhaust system. Water is sprayed into the exhaust pipe through a nozzle assembly.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a vacuum ladle exhaust system for molten aluminum, including an electrolytic cell 1. An exhaust pipe 2 is installed inside the electrolytic cell 1, and the electrolytic cell 1 is also connected to an air inlet communicating with the outside. The end of the exhaust pipe 2 extends to the outside of the electrolytic cell 1 and is connected to an exhaust pipe 3. An exhaust fan 4 is installed at the upper opening of the exhaust pipe 3. A nozzle assembly 8 is installed inside the exhaust pipe 3. A water tank 5 is installed outside the electrolytic cell 1, and a water pump 6 is installed outside the water tank 5 and connected to its internal components. A water supply pipe 7 is installed at the output end of the water pump 6, and the water supply pipe 7 is connected to the nozzle assembly 8. In use, the exhaust fan 4 drives the exhaust... Airflow within the smoke pipe 3 and smoke extraction pipe 2 creates negative pressure, drawing the high-temperature fumes from the electrolytic cell 1 into the smoke extraction pipe 3. Simultaneously, the water pump 6 pumps water from the water tank 5 into the water supply pipe 7 and nozzle assembly 8, spraying the water into the smoke extraction pipe 3. This water exchange with the high-temperature fumes reduces the temperature of the fumes passing through this area, preventing overheating of the exhaust fan 4 and other components. Furthermore, the water absorbs particles from the fumes, filtering them and preventing the release of particulate matter into the atmosphere, thus protecting the environment and improving the equipment's environmental performance.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the nozzle assembly 8 is located on the lower side of the exhaust fan 4 and on the upper side of the smoke extraction pipe 2. This arrangement can form a cooling and filtering water curtain area between the exhaust fan 4 and the smoke extraction pipe 2, which can maximize the utilization of the exhaust pipe.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the end of the smoking pipe 2 near the exhaust pipe 3 is inclined downwards. This arrangement can prevent water from flowing into the electrolytic cell 1 through the exhaust pipe 3.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the lower end of the exhaust pipe 3 is connected to a filter 31 via a pipe. The output end of the filter 31 is connected to a water storage tank 5. A heat exchange and energy absorption component 9 is installed inside the exhaust pipe 3. When water flows towards the lower end of the exhaust pipe 3, it flows into the filter 31 through the pipe. The filter 31 filters the filter material in the water flow and guides the water flow into the water storage tank 5, which is located below the filter 31.
[0025] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the heat exchange and energy absorption assembly 9 includes several heat exchange tubes 91 installed inside the exhaust pipe 3. One end of each heat exchange tube 91 is connected to a collection chamber 92. The collection chamber 92 is connected to a heat energy conversion device via a guide pipe 93. The other end of each heat exchange tube 91 is connected to a dispersion chamber 94. A conveying pipe 95 is connected inside the dispersion chamber 94. A conveying pump 96 is connected to the end of the conveying pipe 95. The input end of the conveying pump 96 is connected to an oil tank 97. In use, the conveying pump 96 can convey the room temperature oil in the oil tank 97 to the dispersion chamber 94 and the heat exchange tubes 91. The oil in the heat exchange tubes 91 absorbs the temperature of the passing liquid, conducts and collects the heat, and then conveys the hot oil through the collection chamber 92 and the guide pipe 93 to the heat energy conversion device. The heat is then reused by the heat energy conversion device, which reduces heat energy emissions.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0027] During operation, the exhaust fan 4 drives the airflow inside the exhaust pipe 3 and the smoke extraction pipe 2, thereby creating negative pressure inside the exhaust pipe 3 and the smoke extraction pipe 2. This draws the high-temperature fumes from the electrolytic cell 1 into the exhaust pipe 3. At this time, the water supply pump 6 pumps water from the water storage tank 5 into the water supply pipe 7 and the nozzle assembly 8. The water is then sprayed into the exhaust pipe 3 through the nozzle assembly 8. The water flows into the high-temperature fumes to exchange heat, which reduces the temperature of the fumes passing through this area and prevents the exhaust fan 4 and other components from overheating. Furthermore, the water flow adsorbs particles in the fumes, filtering them and preventing the particulate matter in the fumes from being released into the atmosphere, thus protecting the atmosphere and improving the environmental performance of the equipment.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
