This kind of ordinary melting device occupies a large area, the heating and stirring are uneven, the material cannot be discharged in a first-in-first-out manner, the bottom is prone to material accumulation, and the material is discharged by a water pump, making it impossible to accurately control the balance of the production material supply. During the process of stopping the discharge of liquid molten salt, the pipeline is often blocked due to the cooling and crystallization of molten salt.

[0003] In existing technology, raw materials are placed inside a furnace for melting and purification. The temperature of the heating device is controlled by an external controller, making the purification process convenient.

[0004] However, in actual use, when purifying zirconium tetrachloride molten salt, it is necessary to add ingredients into the furnace. When adding ingredients, the staff needs to add them into the furnace multiple times, which reduces the efficiency of the staff. Utility Model Content

[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] This invention provides a zirconium tetrachloride molten salt preparation device. It offers the following advantages: The device, through the cooperation of an electric telescopic rod, a measuring cup, and a baffle, places the ingredients into a mixing tank. The ingredients in the mixing tank then flow into the measuring cup. Once the measuring cup is full, the electric telescopic rod pushes the measuring cup within the mounting frame. When the measuring cup reaches the discharge port, the baffle at its bottom opens, allowing the ingredients in the measuring cup to enter the furnace. Furthermore, a horizontal plate on the upper part of the measuring cup's outer wall blocks the discharge port of the mixing tank, preventing discharge. The repeated movement of the measuring cup ensures that the dosage of ingredients added each time is consistent, thus improving the work efficiency of the operators.

[0019] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] In actual use, the purification of zirconium tetrachloride molten salt requires the addition of ingredients to the furnace. This process requires workers to add ingredients to the furnace multiple times, which reduces the efficiency of the workers.

[0021] In view of this, the present invention provides a zirconium tetrachloride molten salt preparation device, which solves the problem that in actual use, when zirconium tetrachloride molten salt is purified, it is necessary to add ingredients into the furnace. When adding ingredients, the operator needs to add them into the furnace multiple times, which reduces the work efficiency of the operator.

[0022] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0023] Example 1: By Figure 1-4It is known that a zirconium tetrachloride molten salt preparation device includes a furnace 1, wherein the model of the furnace 1 is not limited, as long as it meets the actual use requirements. The furnace 1 is made of heat-insulating material, which reduces heat loss on the one hand, and protects the surface-mounted devices and structures on the other hand. A batching box 18 is provided above the furnace 1, and a mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the batching box 18. The bottom of the mounting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the furnace 1. A metering device 2 is installed at the bottom of the batching box 18. The metering device 2 includes: a measuring cup 21, which is located below the batching box 18 and is slidably engaged with the top of the inner wall of the mounting frame 5; and an electric telescopic rod 22, which is fixedly connected to the furnace 18. The top of furnace 1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of measuring cup 21; baffle 23 is rotatably connected to the bottom of measuring cup 21 via a pin and fits against the top of furnace 1; discharge port 24 is opened at the top of furnace 1 and located on one side of measuring cup 21; horizontal plate 25 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer wall of measuring cup 21 and fits against the top of the inner wall of mounting frame 5; wherein, through the cooperation of discharge port 24 and measuring cup 21, electric telescopic rod 22 drives and pushes measuring cup 21 to move, so that baffle 23 opens the bottom of measuring cup 21 and horizontal plate 25 covers the bottom of mixing box 18; the model of electric telescopic rod 22 is not limited, as long as it meets the actual use;

[0024] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the size of the measuring cup 21 is changed according to the dosage of each ingredient added, avoiding the need for staff to make multiple adjustments. Moreover, the baffle 23 at the bottom of the measuring cup 21 will fall into the discharge port 24 under the action of gravity, allowing the measuring cup 21 to discharge the ingredients inside into the furnace 1 through the discharge port 24. After the ingredients are added, when the measuring cup 21 returns to its original position, the baffle 23 will be squeezed by the top of the furnace 1 and pressed against the bottom of the measuring cup 21, so that the measuring cup 21 will not leak when it is filled with ingredients again. When the measuring cup 21 is removed from the bottom of the mixing box 18, it will drive the horizontal plate 25 to move and block the discharge port at the bottom of the mixing box 18 to prevent leakage. After each ingredient is added, the staff can use a baffle plate that matches the discharge port 24 to place on top of it to seal the furnace 1.

[0025] Furthermore, the top of the furnace 1 is connected to a raw material box 19, and a fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the raw material box 19. The bottom of the fixing frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the furnace 1.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the raw material box 19 is installed on the top of the furnace 1 using the fixing frame 4, and the valve is installed at a suitable connection position during installation. The valve is used to separate the raw material box 19 from the furnace 1 and to ensure the temperature inside the furnace 1 is stable.

[0027] Furthermore, a second servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the furnace 1. A rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the output end of the second servo motor 13 that extends into the interior of the furnace 1. A scraper 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 12. The outer wall of the scraper 11 is movably connected to the inner wall of the furnace 1. The model of the second servo motor 13 is not limited, as long as it meets the actual usage requirements.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the second servo motor 13 is used to drive the rotating rod 12 to rotate, so as to mix the raw materials and ingredients, making it convenient to heat them, and the scraper 11 can clean the inner wall of the furnace 1 so as not to affect subsequent processing.

[0029] Specifically, when using this zirconium tetrachloride molten salt preparation device, after the raw material enters the furnace 1 from the raw material box 19, the electric telescopic rod 22 pushes the measuring cup 21 to move above the discharge port 24, opens the baffle 23, and allows the ingredients in the measuring cup 21 to enter the furnace 1. The second servo motor 13 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate, so that the raw material and ingredients are stirred inside the furnace 1. The controller controls the heating tube 14 to heat the furnace 1 so that the temperature inside the furnace 1 reaches the temperature at which the two react. The measuring cup 21 is used to add equal amounts of ingredients to the furnace 1 at irregular intervals, which makes it convenient for the operator to operate.

[0030] Example 2: From Figure 1-4 It is known that an anti-blocking device 3 is installed inside the raw material box 19. The anti-blocking device 3 includes: a first servo motor 31, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the raw material box 19; a drive rod 32, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the raw material box 19 through a bearing, and one end of which extends to the outside of the raw material box 19 is fixedly connected to the first servo motor 31; and an impact rod 33, which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the drive rod 32 through a pin. The impact rod 33 moves within the inner wall of the raw material box 19 through the cooperation of the first servo motor 31 and the drive rod 32. The model of the first servo motor 31 is not limited, as long as it meets the actual use requirements.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that when the raw materials in the raw material box 19 are being fed, the first servo motor 31 will drive the drive rod 32 to rotate, so that the impact rod 33 on its outer wall will rotate around the drive rod 32, so as to avoid blockage when the raw material box 19 is being fed.

[0032] Furthermore, a discharge valve 16 is installed at the bottom of the furnace 1, and a heating tube 14 is installed on the outer wall of the furnace 1. The heating tube 14 is externally connected to a controller, and a temperature sensor is used in conjunction with the controller. It is installed inside the furnace 1 to detect the temperature inside the furnace 1. A protective shell 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heating tube 14 to protect it. The outer wall of the protective shell 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the furnace 1. A feed pipe 17 is connected to the top of the outer wall of the furnace 1.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that chlorine gas is transported into the furnace 1 using the feed pipe 17, and a valve is installed on the feed pipe 17 to heat the furnace 1 using the heating pipe 14.

[0034] Specifically, based on the above embodiments, when adding raw materials, the first servo motor 31 drives the drive rod 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the impact rod 33 to rotate inside the raw material box 19 to impact the raw materials, preventing the raw materials from accumulating at the discharge pipe of the raw material box 19, and chlorine gas is transported into the furnace 1 through the feed pipe 17 so that the raw materials inside can react better.
