Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sintering furnace electrode water cooling structure, including a sintering furnace body 1, an electrode water cooling device 2 installed on the sintering furnace body 1, and a cleaning mechanism 3 provided on the electrode water cooling device 2;

[0021] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a mounting hole 31, a limiting hole 32, a fixing bracket 33, a threaded rod 34, a limiting rod 35, a scraper 36, a threaded hole 37, and a motor 38. The electrode water cooling device 2 has a mounting hole 31 and a limiting hole 32. One end of the electrode water cooling device 2 is fixed to the fixing bracket 33. A threaded rod 34 is installed inside the mounting hole 31, and a limiting rod 35 is installed inside the limiting hole 32. One end of the limiting rod 35 is connected to the scraper 36, which has a threaded hole 37. A motor 38 is installed at one end of the electrode water cooling device 2. The cleaning mechanism 3 is connected to the mounting hole 31, limiting hole 32, fixing bracket 33, threaded rod 34, and limiting rod 35. The arrangement of scraper 36, threaded hole 37, and motor 38 is such that, during use, as the electrode water cooling device 2 on the sintering furnace body 1 is used for a long time, the circulating water continuously evaporates during the cooling process, causing the salt concentration in the water to continuously increase. This exceeds the solubility of certain salts, causing precipitation and resulting in a large amount of dirt accumulating on the inner wall of the cooling pipe 24. When the motor 38 is started, the motor 38 drives the threaded rod 34 to rotate, and the threaded rod 34 drives the scraper 36. The rotation space of the scraper 36 is restricted by the limiting rod 35, so that when the threaded rod 34 rotates, it can only move laterally in the cooling pipe 24, thereby scraping off the dirt attached to the inner wall of the cooling pipe 24, thus improving the cooling efficiency of the electrode water cooling device 2.

[0022] Furthermore, the electrode water cooling device 2 includes a water tank 21, a water pump 22, a connecting pipe 23, a cooling pipe 24, and a connecting frame 25. The water tank 21 is installed on the outer wall of the sintering furnace body 1, and the water pump 22 is installed on the outer wall of the water tank 21. The output end of the water pump 22 is provided with a connecting pipe 23, and one end of the connecting pipe 23 is installed with a cooling pipe 24. The outer wall of the cooling pipe 24 is provided with a connecting frame 25. Through the arrangement of the water tank 21, water pump 22, connecting pipe 23, cooling pipe 24, and connecting frame 25, during use, the water pump 22 draws out the liquid from the water tank 21 and transports it to the cooling pipe 24 through the connecting pipe 23 to cool the sintering furnace body 1. Then, the liquid returns directly to the water tank 21 through the connecting pipe 23, thus completing the water circulation cooling.

[0023] Furthermore, the limiting holes 32 are symmetrically opened along the central axis of the bottom edge of the cooling pipe 24. The limiting holes 32 are respectively opened on the cooling pipe 24, the fixing bracket 33 and the scraper 36. With the setting of the scraper 36, the dirt attached to the inner wall of the cooling pipe 24 is scraped off by the scraper 36 during use, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the electrode water cooling device 2.

[0024] Furthermore, the inner wall size of the threaded hole 37 matches the outer wall size of the threaded rod 34. The mounting holes 31 are respectively opened on the cooling pipe 24 and the fixing bracket 33. Through the solidity of the threaded rod 34, the movement of the scraper 36 in the cooling pipe 24 is controlled by rotating the threaded rod 34 during use.

[0025] Furthermore, the electrode water cooling device 2 is equipped with an installation mechanism 4, which includes a housing 41, a first sliding groove 42, a slide rail 43, a mounting base 44, a second sliding groove 45, a mounting block 46, a collection bucket 47, a fixing hole 48, a limiting post 49, a spring 410, and a fixing plate 411. The outer wall of the cooling pipe 24 is fixed with the housing 41. The inner wall of the housing 41 has a first sliding groove 42. The slide rail 43 is installed inside the first sliding groove 42. The outer wall of the slide rail 43 is fixed with the mounting base 44. The bottom wall of the mounting base 44 has a second sliding groove 45. The second sliding groove 45 has a mounting block 46. The outer wall of the mounting block 46 is fixed with the collection bucket 47. The bottom wall of the housing 41 has a fixing hole 48. The interior of 48 is connected by a limiting post 49. The outer wall of the limiting post 49 is fitted with a spring 410. One end of the limiting post 49 is fixed with a fixing plate 411. Through the arrangement of the outer shell 41, the first slide groove 42, the slide rail 43, the mounting base 44, the second slide groove 45, the mounting block 46, the collection bucket 47, the fixing hole 48, the limiting post 49, the spring 410 and the fixing plate 411, during use, as the scraper 36 scrapes out the dirt, the dirt will accumulate in the collection bucket 47. At this time, the water pump 22 is turned off and the mounting base 44 is pushed to push the collection bucket 47 installed on the other side of the mounting base 44 to the opening of the cooling pipe 24. At the same time, the water pump 22 is started, and then the pushed-out collection bucket 47 can be taken out and the dirt in it can be treated.

[0026] Furthermore, the second chute 45 is symmetrically opened about the central axis of the mounting base 44, and the mounting blocks 46 are symmetrically installed on the outer wall of the collection bucket 47. With the setting of the mounting base 44, the collection bucket 47 is symmetrically installed on the mounting base 44 during use, which can save a lot of time when treating the dirt in the cooling pipe 24.

[0027] Furthermore, the fixing hole 48 is symmetrically opened about the central axis of the outer shell 41. The inner wall size of the fixing hole 48 matches the outer wall size of the limiting post 49. With the setting of the fixing hole 48, during use, as the collection bucket 47 is installed, the collection bucket 47 will squeeze the spring 410 and the limiting post 49. At this time, the limiting post 49 will slide outward through the fixing hole 48.

[0028] Working principle: During use, the water pump 22 draws liquid from the water tank 21 and transports it to the cooling pipe 24 through the connecting pipe 23 to cool the sintering furnace body 1. The liquid then returns directly to the water tank 21 through the connecting pipe 23, thus completing the water circulation cooling. With long-term use of the electrode water cooling device 2 on the sintering furnace body 1, the circulating water continuously evaporates during the cooling process, causing the salt concentration in the water to continuously increase. This concentration exceeds the solubility of certain salts, causing precipitation and resulting in a large amount of scale accumulating on the inner wall of the cooling pipe 24. The motor 38 is started, driving the threaded rod 34 to rotate. 4 drives the scraper 36, whose rotation space is restricted by the limiting rod 35, so that it can only move laterally in the cooling pipe 24 when the threaded rod 34 rotates, thereby scraping off the dirt attached to the inner wall of the cooling pipe 24, thus improving the cooling efficiency of the electrode water cooling device 2. As the scraper 36 scrapes off the dirt, the dirt will accumulate in the collection bucket 47. At this time, the water pump 22 is turned off and the mounting base 44 is pushed to push the collection bucket 47 installed on the other side of the mounting base 44 to the opening of the cooling pipe 24. At the same time, the water pump 22 is started, and then the collection bucket 47 can be taken out and the dirt in it can be treated.
