[0026] The aforementioned metal smelting furnace, with its upper and lower exhaust and outlet ports, facilitates the entry, exit, and circulation of smoke and waste gas within the furnace cavity 111, reducing the average temperature and radiative heat transfer within the furnace cavity 111. The feeding assembly 4 facilitates the loading and unloading of the metal to be smelted. The exhaust structure 21 generates negative pressure to extract smoke and waste gas generated inside the furnace cavity 111, removing smoke and waste gas accumulated in the top area of the furnace cavity 111 and controlling the internal air pressure. The positioning frame 3 facilitates the installation of the feeding assembly 4 and the placement of the exhaust port, allowing the extracted smoke and waste gas to re-enter the furnace cavity 111 from the bottom after traveling a certain path, thus solving the problem of environmental pollution caused by smoke and waste gas generated by existing smelting furnaces.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the smelting furnace body 1 includes a furnace body 11 and a furnace door 12. A furnace cavity 111 is formed inside the furnace body 11. A combustion device is installed between the furnace body 11 and the furnace cavity 111. A feed inlet communicating with the furnace cavity 111 is opened on one side of the furnace body 11. The furnace door 12 is hinged to the furnace body 11 and used to seal the feed inlet. This can prevent heat loss and improve the thermal efficiency of the boiler. The sealing performance of the furnace door 12 has an important impact on the combustion process.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a locking block 121 protrudes from the furnace door 12, and a locking groove is formed on the locking block 121. A snap-fit component 112 is provided on the furnace body 11.

Locking the furnace door 12 can effectively prevent the furnace door 12 from being accidentally opened during the operation of the smelting furnace, and can also prevent the smelting furnace from operating in an unsafe state, avoiding injury or accidents caused by accidental start-up or improper operation of the smelting furnace.
[0029] In one embodiment, the furnace cavity 111 includes a melting chamber and an installation chamber arranged vertically. The positioning frame 3 is mounted in the installation chamber.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting pipe 22 includes an inner cylinder 221 and an outer cylinder 222 coaxially disposed on the outer surface of the inner cylinder 221. A heat insulation gap 223 is formed between the inner cylinder 221 and the outer cylinder 222. A heat insulation layer 224 is laid on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 221 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 222.
[0034] Preferably, the insulation layer 224 is made of rubber and plastic insulation material. The insulation layer 224 can reduce the temperature of the part of the connecting pipe 22 that comes into contact with the outside environment, thereby avoiding burns caused by high temperature and the combustion of adjacent flammable materials, and reducing safety hazards.
[0035] In one embodiment, the connecting pipe 22 includes a first connecting pipe and a plurality of second connecting pipes.

The control valve 5 precisely controls the proportion of recirculated flue gas, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the smelting process, reducing the risk of flameout, and improving combustion stability.
[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
