Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zinc melting furnace feeding technology, specifically to an automatic alloying device. Background Technology
[0002] Hot-dip galvanizing is a surface treatment process in which metal workpieces are immersed in molten zinc to form a zinc layer on their surface, primarily for corrosion protection. It is a widely used metal surface treatment technology, mainly used to prevent corrosion of metals (especially steel). The specific operation involves immersing the metal workpiece (such as steel) in molten zinc, causing a zinc-iron alloy layer to form on its surface. This alloy layer is not only aesthetically pleasing but also effectively prevents the metal substrate from contacting corrosive environments, thereby extending the metal's service life.
[0003] Currently, melting alloy ingots requires a zinc melting furnace. During hot-dip galvanizing, the liquid zinc in the furnace is gradually consumed, necessitating the periodic addition of alloy ingots to replenish the lost liquid zinc. Since the alloy ingots are blocky and relatively heavy, manually handling them and adding them to the furnace is not only cumbersome and inefficient, but also prone to errors due to fatigue or negligence. Furthermore, the furnace temperature is high, typically above 400°C, making manual addition extremely dangerous in the event of liquid splashing. Therefore, we propose an automated alloy adding device. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides an automatic alloying device, which has the advantage of automatically adding alloy ingots into the furnace and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: an automatic alloy adding device is designed, including a strip-shaped placement groove. One end of the strip-shaped placement groove is provided with a feeding port that can only allow one alloy ingot to pass through. The other end of the strip-shaped placement groove is provided with a telescopic device. The telescopic device is connected to a push plate located in the strip-shaped placement groove. The alloy ingot is placed between the push plate and the feeding port.
[0006] Preferably, a conveying channel is provided below the discharge port.
[0007] Preferably, the top surface of the strip-shaped placement groove has openings in the middle of both sides for placing alloy ingots.
[0008] Preferably, the telescopic device includes a cylinder installed at one end of the strip placement slot, the telescopic end of the cylinder extending coaxially into the strip placement slot and connected to the push plate.
[0009] Preferably, at least one guide shaft parallel to the cylinder is movably provided inside the end of the strip placement groove, and one end of the guide shaft is connected to the push plate.
[0010] Preferably, each guide shaft is movably fitted with a guide seat, which is connected to the end of the strip placement groove.
[0011] Preferably, the strip placement groove is installed on the support frame, and the discharge port is located outside the support frame.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, when the cylinder drives the pusher plate to push the alloy ingot, the alloy ingot located at the end away from the cylinder is pushed to the top of the feeding port. When the pusher plate is pulled back by the cylinder, the pressure on the alloy ingot disappears, and the alloy ingot will automatically fall from the feeding port into the zinc melting furnace. This process can achieve the falling of one alloy ingot by pushing the pusher plate once, thereby realizing automatic feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to its embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic alloying device, including a strip-shaped placement groove 2, which is a metal groove. Alloy ingots 7 (i.e., zinc alloy ingots) are placed along the strip-shaped placement groove 2. One end of the strip-shaped placement groove 2 has a discharge port 10 that allows only one alloy ingot 7 to pass through at a time. Figure 5 As shown, the strip-shaped placement groove 2 is installed on the support frame 1, and the discharge port 10 is located outside the support frame 1. The purpose of this is to allow the discharge port 10 to extend outward, because in actual use, the discharge port 10 should be located above the zinc melting furnace, so that the alloy ingot 7 falling from the discharge port 10 can fall directly into the zinc melting furnace.
[0022] To facilitate the falling of the alloy ingot 7 from the discharge port 10, a telescopic device is installed at the other end of the strip-shaped placement groove 2. This telescopic device is connected to a push plate 5 located within the strip-shaped placement groove 2. The telescopic device is pneumatic and includes a cylinder 3 mounted at one end of the strip-shaped placement groove 2. Specifically, the telescopic end of the cylinder 3 extends coaxially into the strip-shaped placement groove 2, connecting the telescopic shaft to the push plate 5. This allows the push plate 5 to reciprocate along the strip-shaped placement groove 2 under the action of the telescopic device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at least one guide shaft 4 parallel to the cylinder 3 is also movably provided inside the end of the strip placement groove 2. One end of the guide shaft 4 is connected to the push plate 5. The guide shaft 4 can support and guide the push plate 5, preventing the push plate 5 from deflecting during reciprocating operation.
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the alloy ingot 7 is placed between the push plate 5 and the discharge port 10. In actual operation, since the discharge port 10 can only receive one alloy ingot 7 at a time, in practical use... Figure 3 As shown, cylinder 3 drives pusher plate 5 to push all alloy ingots 7. The alloy ingot 7 located away from cylinder 3 is pushed above the discharge port 10. Due to the pressure of pusher plate 5 on the alloy ingot 7, the alloy ingot 7 located above the discharge port 10 remains stationary. Figure 4 As shown, when the pusher plate 5 is pulled back by the cylinder 3, the pressure on the alloy ingot 7 disappears, and the alloy ingot 7 above the discharge port 10 will automatically fall from the discharge port 10 into the zinc melting furnace. This process is achieved by the pusher plate 5 pushing the alloy ingot 7 once to realize the falling of one alloy ingot 7, thereby realizing automatic feeding.
[0024] Based on the above embodiments, a conveying channel 8 is provided below the discharge port 10. The bottom of the conveying channel 8 is located above the molten zinc level in the zinc melting furnace. The conveying channel 8 can only accommodate one alloy ingot 7, allowing the alloy ingot to slide down along the conveying channel 8 into the zinc melting furnace (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown by the dashed line), thus avoiding splashing of molten zinc.
[0025] Based on the above embodiments, further optimization is possible. As described above, alloy ingots 7 are placed between push plate 5 and discharge port 10. A large number of ingots are placed. Openings 6 are provided in the middle of both sides of the top surface of the strip placement groove 2. The openings 6 allow the top of the alloy ingots 7 to protrude outside the strip placement groove 2. The alloy ingots 7 protruding outside the strip placement groove 2 are easy to grab. Therefore, the openings 6 are used to place alloy ingots 7.
[0026] Based on the above embodiments, further optimization can be achieved by movably sleeved guide seat 9 on each guide shaft 4. The guide seat 9 is connected to the end of the strip placement groove 2. The guide seat 9 provides support for the guide shaft 4, so the guide shaft 4 is more stable when sliding on the guide seat 9.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
