Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of iron and steel smelting and cast iron technology, and in particular relates to a dust removal hood for a cast iron machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of steel smelting and cast iron production, cast iron machines are key equipment for casting molten iron. During the operation of cast iron machines, a large amount of fumes and dust are generated during the molten iron casting process. If these fumes and dust are not treated in a timely and effective manner, they will cause serious pollution to the production environment.

[0003] Currently, some dust covers exist on the market to address the issue of fumes and dust generated during the pouring of molten iron in iron casting machines. However, some of these dust covers have a relatively simple structural design, only providing basic shielding and failing to effectively collect and filter fumes and dust. Fumes and dust can easily escape through the gaps in the dust covers, still polluting the workshop environment. Secondly, although some dust covers are equipped with exhaust and filtration systems, these systems are usually connected to the dust covers via long ducts. Due to the long ducts and the considerable distance from the dust cover to the filtration system, the exhaust system responds slowly to fumes and dust, failing to capture and process newly generated fumes and dust in a timely manner, leading to the spread of some pollutants within the workshop. Summary of the Invention
