Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 The image shows a smoke removal device for an aluminum alloy melting crucible. The device includes a negative pressure exhaust pipe 2 mounted on a structural beam 1 of the building, connected to an external negative pressure smoke extraction system. A smoke removal connecting pipe 3 is connected to the negative pressure exhaust pipe 2. The device also includes a bottom column 4, a rotary cylinder 5, a rotary plate 6, an upper column 7, a pull rod mounting frame 8, a lifting cylinder 9, a first pull rod 10, a second pull rod 11, an end connecting frame 12, a smoke hood connector 13, and a smoke removal hood 14.

[0026] The cylinder body of the rotary cylinder 5 is inherently connected to the upper end face of the bottom column 4, and its output shaft is connected to the lower end face of the rotary plate 6. As a driving component, the rotary cylinder 5 can drive the rotary plate 6 to rotate flexibly. When workers need to add aluminum to the crucible, the fume hood 14 and its accessories can be quickly rotated to one side, completely opening the top of the crucible and ensuring convenient operation for workers. During aluminum alloy melting operations, it can rotate to the optimal working position directly above the crucible, ready to collect fumes at any time. The upper end face of the rotary plate 6 is inherently connected to the upper end face of the upper column 7. The tie rod mounting frame 8 is inherently located on the upper end face of the upper column 7.

[0027] The first pull rod 10 has a connecting plate 15 on each of its two sides near the end of the lifting cylinder 9. The two connecting plates 15 are inherently connected to the ends of the lifting cylinder 9 via a connecting shaft 16. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 9 is connected to the connecting shaft 16 via a fisheye joint. With the help of the fisheye joint design, the lifting cylinder 9 can adapt to certain angle changes during telescopic movement, ensuring stable and smooth force transmission. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 9 is connected to the rotary plate 6 via a single-ear seat and a double-ear seat rotatable connection. This connection mode allows the lifting cylinder 9 to not only stably support the first pull rod 10, but also rotate flexibly during structural movement, in accordance with the overall dynamic requirements.

[0028] One end of the first pull rod 10 is rotatably connected to the end connecting frame 12, and the side near the lifting cylinder 9 is rotatably connected to the pull rod mounting frame 8. When the lifting cylinder 9 starts to extend or retract, the first pull rod 10 rotates with the connection part with the pull rod mounting frame 8 as the fulcrum, thereby driving the end connecting frame 12 to move up and down.

[0029] One end of the second tie rod 11 is rotatably connected to the end connecting frame 12, and the other end is rotatably connected to the tie rod mounting frame 8. It works in conjunction with the first tie rod 10 to provide auxiliary support and balance stability during the lifting and lowering of the end connecting frame 12, ensuring smooth movement and reducing swaying, deviation and other adverse conditions.

[0030] One end of the fume hood connector 13 is fixedly connected to the end connecting frame 12, and the other end is fitted onto the fume hood 14. The upper part of the fume hood 14 has an internal tubular structure, and the lower part has an internally hollow, trumpet-shaped structure. The lower trumpet-shaped structure is designed according to the diffusion properties of smoke and dust, which can capture smoke and dust rising from the crucible within the maximum range and expand the collection area; the upper tubular structure is specifically designed to connect with the fume hood connector 13 and the subsequent smoke exhaust channel to ensure smooth transmission of smoke and dust.

[0031] Furthermore, the large flared opening of the fume hood 14 is positioned facing the upper surface of the crucible to ensure that the smoke and dust generated during the entire aluminum alloy melting process can be drawn into the fume hood 14 with the highest efficiency, thus optimizing the smoke extraction effect.

[0032] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the upper part of the smoke hood 14 is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner wall of the smoke removal connecting pipe 3. This design facilitates lifting and docking. When it is necessary to enhance the smoke removal effect, the upper part of the smoke hood 14 can be precisely inserted into the smoke removal connecting pipe 3 by driving the lifting cylinder 9, forming a tight and seamless docking, reducing smoke leakage, and improving the sealing and smoke removal efficiency of the smoke exhaust system.

[0033] Furthermore, the smoke hood connector 13 includes a connecting part 13a and a fixing part 13b. One end of the connecting part 13a is fixedly connected to the end connecting frame 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting part 13a, thereby achieving effective clamping and stable connection of the smoke hood 14 and enhancing the overall structural strength and stability.

[0034] Furthermore, the connecting part 13a has a ring-shaped structure and is inherently connected to the outer wall of the upper part of the smoke hood 14. The ring-shaped structure fits tightly against the outer wall of the smoke hood 14, which not only ensures the sealing of the connection, but also evenly distributes the connection stress, effectively preventing damage to components or loosening of the connection caused by uneven local stress.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] The negative pressure exhaust pipe 2 of this device is installed at a high position based on the structural beam 1 of the building, and is fixed on it, serving as the terminal negative pressure extraction channel for the entire smoke extraction process. The smoke removal connecting pipe 3 connects to the negative pressure exhaust pipe 2, guiding the collected smoke and dust to the negative pressure source. The bottom column 4 serves as the bottom support, standing firmly on the ground.

[0037] The rotary cylinder 5 is a key power component for enabling flexible horizontal adjustment of the device. Its cylinder body is rigidly connected to the upper surface of the bottom column 4, ensuring stability, while its output shaft is tightly connected to the lower surface of the rotary plate 6. When workers need to add aluminum or perform other operations into the crucible, the rotary cylinder 5 receives a control signal and starts, its output shaft driving the rotary plate 6 to rotate around its axis. Because the rotary plate 6, the upper column 7, the tie rod mounting frame 8, and a series of subsequent connected components form a rigid whole, the entire fume hood 14 and its associated linkage components rotate synchronously, quickly moving away from the area above the crucible to create an open and unobstructed operating space for the workers. After the operation is completed, the rotary cylinder 5 reverses, driving all components back to their original position directly above the crucible, ready for fume collection.

[0038] The lifting cylinder 9 controls the vertical displacement of the smoke hood 14 to achieve docking with the smoke removal connecting pipe 3. Connecting plates 15 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first pull rod 10 near the end of the lifting cylinder 9, and the two are connected by a connecting shaft 16 to form a stable connection node. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 9 is connected to the connecting shaft 16 via a fisheye joint. This flexible connection method allows the telescopic rod to adapt to certain angle changes during extension and retraction, ensuring stable force transmission and avoiding structural jamming due to small angular deviations. Simultaneously, the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 9 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 6 using single-ear and double-ear seats, enabling it to both stably support the first pull rod 10 and rotate flexibly during overall structural movement.

[0039] When the lifting cylinder 9 initiates its extension and retraction action, based on the lever principle, the first pull rod 10 rotates, pulling the end connecting frame 12, with the rotational connection point between the first pull rod 10 and the pull rod mounting frame 8 as the fulcrum. At this time, the second pull rod 11 plays a synergistic stabilizing role, with its two ends rotatably connected to the end connecting frame 12 and the pull rod mounting frame 8 respectively. Together with the first pull rod 10, it forms a stable triangular mechanical structure, ensuring that the end connecting frame 12 moves smoothly and accurately during the lifting and lowering process, reducing swaying, deviation, and other adverse conditions. As the end connecting frame 12 moves vertically, the smoke hood 14 is driven to rise and fall synchronously through the smoke hood connector 13 fixedly connected to it.

[0040] The lower part of the fume hood 14 is hollow inside and has a trumpet-shaped structure. Based on the physical characteristics of the natural rise and diffusion of smoke and dust, the large trumpet opening faces the upper surface of the crucible. During the melting process of aluminum alloy, the smoke and dust continuously generated from the crucible floats upward due to thermal buoyancy and other effects. At this time, the large trumpet opening of the fume hood 14 acts like a "dust trap". The negative pressure suction generated by the negative pressure exhaust pipe 2 quickly draws the smoke and dust in a large area into the hood.

[0041] The inhaled fumes are then transported through the internal tubular structure at the top of the fume hood 14. Because the outer diameter of the upper part of the fume hood 14 is carefully designed to be smaller than the inner diameter of the fume extraction connecting pipe 3, when the lifting cylinder 9 drives the fume hood 14 to rise to the predetermined height, the two can connect, forming a tight, seamless connection, ensuring that fumes do not leak from the connection point. Subsequently, the fumes are further stably transported through the fume hood connector 13 and smoothly enter the negative pressure exhaust pipe 2 through the fume extraction connecting pipe 3. Finally, under negative pressure, they are discharged from the working area, achieving efficient collection and purification of fumes during the entire aluminum alloy melting process. This effectively protects the cleanliness of the workshop environment and the health of workers, while creating favorable conditions for high-quality aluminum alloy melting production.

[0042] In summary, the components of this utility model aluminum alloy melting crucible smoke removal device work closely together, and the position of the smoke removal hood is precisely controlled through rotation and lifting movements. Combined with the efficient smoke and dust collection and emission structure design, it perfectly achieves the organic unity of smoke removal function and ease of operation.

[0043] In summary, this easy-to-remove inner tube vulcanizing equipment, through the coordinated operation of its various components, ensures vulcanization quality and greatly improves production efficiency throughout the entire process from inner tube placement and vulcanization to removal, thus solving many problems existing in traditional inner tube vulcanizing equipment.

[0044] The embodiments are detailed, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
