Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial silicon smelting production technology, and in particular to an intelligent feeding device for industrial silicon smelting. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial silicon smelting primarily employs a submerged arc furnace process, using silica and carbonaceous reducing agents as the main raw materials. During production, the raw materials are fed into the submerged arc furnace in a specific ratio, where a reduction reaction occurs at high temperatures, producing industrial silicon and byproducts such as ferrosilicon and slag. The smelting process includes charging, melting, tapping, casting, and cooling. The melting process requires maintaining a stable high temperature to ensure silicon purity and yield. Finally, the solidified silicon ingots need to be crushed and screened to obtain the desired product.

[0003] In the industrial silicon smelting process, silica, coke, and other materials need to be fed into the submerged arc furnace. Workers use dump trucks or shovels to manually pour the raw materials directly onto the hot furnace opening. This is labor-intensive and poses safety hazards such as high-temperature burns and sparks, affecting worker health. Furthermore, uneven material distribution can lead to uneven furnace charge distribution, affecting smelting stability, making it difficult to meet production demands, increasing the difficulty of process control, and impacting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that workers are easily burned by high temperatures during operation, which affects their health; raw materials need to be poured in the correct amount, otherwise the distribution of the furnace charge layer will be unreasonable.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an intelligent feeding device for industrial silicon smelting, including a silo body, wherein the silo body is configured as a tubular square silo structure with a cavity, two push rod motors are fixedly installed at one end of the silo body, and the output end of the push rod motor is fixedly connected to a feeding plate through a connecting rod, a rectangular placement frame is provided on the center side of the silo body, and the two sides of the placement frame are in through communication with the cavity, a material basket is fastened to the top of the placement frame, two storage silos are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the material basket, a receiving plate is slidably connected in the storage silos, and a bidirectional push rod motor is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the material basket, and the output end of the bidirectional push rod motor is fixedly connected to one side of the receiving plate.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top two sides of the mounting frame are rotatably connected to the mounting plates via a rotating shaft, and the two sides of the material basket are provided with mounting clamps that match the mounting plates, and the mounting clamps are threaded with bolts that are connected to the mounting plates.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, horizontal grooves are provided on both sides of the cavity, and sliders matching the grooves are fixedly provided on both sides of the pusher plate.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, transverse support strips are fixedly provided on the inner walls of the top two sides of the mounting frame.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, a pair of abutment plates are fixedly provided on one side of the hopper body, and screw holes are provided through both sides of the abutment plates.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a capacity scale is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the material basket.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Due to the separate structural design of this device, including a hopper and a material basket, and the bottom of the material basket is equipped with a receiving hopper, with an internal sliding connection to a receiving plate, and driven by a bidirectional push rod motor. When loading materials, workers can first put the raw materials into the material basket, and after assembly, start the bidirectional push rod motor to make the receiving plate slowly put the raw materials into the hopper, and then the push plate evenly feeds the material into the electric arc furnace. This design avoids workers directly operating the high-temperature furnace opening, thereby effectively reducing the safety hazards caused by high-temperature burns and sparks, and protecting the health of workers.

[0012] 2. A capacity scale is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the feeding basket, which can control the amount of raw materials fed according to production needs, ensuring that each feeding meets the process requirements and avoiding unreasonable distribution of the furnace charge layer, which would affect the smelting stability. At the same time, the pusher plate can evenly push the material into the submerged arc furnace, improving the uniformity and consistency of the feeding, making the smelting process more controllable, reducing quality fluctuations caused by feeding errors, and improving product quality.

[0021] This utility model provides an intelligent feeding device for industrial silicon smelting, including a bin body 1;

[0022] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, the silo body 1 is a tubular square silo structure with a cavity. A pair of abutment plates 7 are fixedly installed on one side of the silo body 1, and screw holes are opened through both sides of the abutment plates 7. By screwing bolts into the abutment plates 7, the silo body 1 can be securely connected to the working furnace. Two push rod motors 2 are fixedly installed at one end of the silo body 1. The output end of the push rod motor 2 is fixedly connected to the push plate 3 through the connecting rod. Horizontal sliding grooves 10 are opened on both sides of the cavity. Sliding blocks matching the sliding grooves 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the push plate 3 to ensure the smooth pushing of the push plate 3. A rectangular mounting frame 4 is also provided on the center side of the silo body 1.

[0023] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, the mounting frame 4 is connected to the cavity on both sides, and a material basket 5 is fastened to the top of the mounting frame 4. Horizontal support strips 11 are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the top of the mounting frame 4. The mounting frame 4 is installed via the horizontal support strips 11 to ensure initial contact between the material basket 5 and the mounting frame 4. Assembly plates 9 are rotatably connected to the top of the mounting frame 4 via pivots on both sides. Assembly clamps matching the assembly plates 9 are installed on both sides of the material basket 5, and bolts threaded onto the assembly clamps are threaded onto the assembly plates 9. The assembly clamps, assembly plates 9, and bolts are used to fix the mounting frame 4 and the material basket 5, ensuring a reliable connection between the silo 1 and the material basket 5.

[0024] As attached Figure 1 , 3As shown, two storage compartments 501 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the material basket 5. A receiving plate 502 is slidably connected inside the storage compartment 501. A bidirectional push rod motor 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the material basket 5. A mezzanine plate is opened at the bottom of the material basket 5. The bidirectional push rod motor 8 and its output end are located inside the mezzanine plate, and the output end of the bidirectional push rod motor 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the receiving plate 502. The opening and closing of the receiving plate 502 can be controlled through the output end of the bidirectional push rod motor 8. In addition, a capacity scale 6 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the material basket 5; the amount of raw materials fed can be controlled according to production needs.

[0025] Working Principle: In practical implementation, this utility model firstly connects the material basket 5 to the furnace opening via the abutment plate 7 and bolts on one side of the silo body 1, ensuring structural stability. The bottom of the material basket 5 is then initially abutted against the transverse support strip 11 on the inner wall of the top side of the mounting frame 4. The assembly plate 9 is rotated inwards and placed between the assembly clamps, and bolts are screwed in to secure the bottom of the material basket 5 to the mounting frame 4. Workers directly input raw materials into the material basket 5 and determine the input amount meets process requirements based on the capacity scale on the inner wall. The bidirectional pusher motor 8 is then started, its output end driving the support plate 502 to move to both sides, connecting the material basket 5 to the cavity. After ensuring all raw materials in the material basket 5 have entered the cavity, the worker starts the two pusher motors 2 located on one side of the silo body 1, causing their output rods and pusher plates to push to one side, propelling the material into the furnace. This avoids direct contact between the worker and the high-temperature side of the furnace opening, ensuring personnel safety.
