Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of probiotic production technology, and more specifically, it relates to a powder injection and remelting device in the probiotic production process. Background Technology

[0002] Inoculant is a substance that can promote graphitization, reduce the tendency of white iron, improve the morphology and distribution of graphite, increase the number of eutectic groups, and refine the matrix structure. It has good effects in a short time after inoculation treatment (about 5-8 minutes) and is mainly suitable for general conditions or short-term inoculation in various situations.

[0003] During the production of inoculants, a large amount of fine powder with a particle size of 0-0.2mm is generated. When this fine powder is added into the furnace manually or by belt conveyor for recycling, it is very easy to adhere to the furnace wall, causing a lot of loss. At the same time, it is easy to deteriorate the furnace condition, which is detrimental to production efficiency and cost.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided a powder injection and remelting device in the production process of inoculants, in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a powder injection and remelting device for the production process of inoculants, which is achieved by the following specific technical means:

[0006] A powder injection and remelting device for inoculant production includes a furnace body. A mounting plate is bolted to the top of one side of the furnace body. A first mounting seat is mounted on one side of the top of the mounting plate. A first sliding groove is provided on one side of the first mounting seat. A first slider is slidably mounted in the first sliding groove. A second mounting seat is mounted on one side of the first slider. An injection barrel is mounted on the top of the second mounting seat via a bracket. A conveying pipe is mounted on the bottom of the injection barrel. An air pump is mounted on one end of the conveying pipe. A drive assembly is mounted in the first sliding groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a feed inlet is installed at the top of the injection barrel.

[0008] Furthermore, a solenoid valve is installed at the bottom of the injection barrel near the delivery pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a threaded rod, which is rotatably mounted in the first groove via a bearing housing.

[0010] Furthermore, a first motor is mounted on the top of the first mounting base, and the output end of the first motor is connected to the threaded rod via a coupling.

[0011] Furthermore, a controller is mounted on one side of the mounting plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The powder injection and return device in the production process of the inoculant of this utility model, through the coordinated use of the furnace body, mounting plate, first mounting seat, first chute, first slider, second mounting seat, injection barrel, conveying pipe, air pump, feed port, solenoid valve, threaded rod, first motor and controller, facilitates the direct blowing of powder into the liquid inside the furnace body through the injection barrel, conveying pipe and air pump, avoiding direct contact between fine powder and air, reducing the oxidation and burning loss of powder, and keeping the furnace condition unaffected, thereby reducing production and cleaning costs, and improving the production efficiency and product quality of the inoculant.

[0022] Example:

[0023] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown:

[0024] This utility model provides a powder injection and remelting device for the production of inoculants, including a furnace body 1. A mounting plate 2 is bolted to the top of one side of the furnace body 1. A first mounting seat 3 is mounted on one side of the top of the mounting plate 2. A first sliding groove 4 is provided on one side of the first mounting seat 3. A first slider 5 is slidably mounted in the first sliding groove 4. A second mounting seat 6 is mounted on one side of the first slider 5. An injection barrel 7 is mounted on the top of the second mounting seat 6 via a bracket. A conveying pipe 8 is mounted on the bottom of the injection barrel 7. An air pump 9 is mounted on one end of the conveying pipe 8. The air pump 9 delivers gas to the conveying pipe 8, and the fine powder is conveyed into the furnace body 1 by air pressure. A driving component is installed in the first sliding groove 4 to drive the first slider 5 to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the injection barrel 7.

[0025] The injection barrel 7 is equipped with a feed inlet 10 at the top, which facilitates the injection of fine powder into the injection barrel 7.

[0026] A solenoid valve 11 is installed at the bottom of the injection tank 7 near the delivery pipe 8 to facilitate the control of the fine powder entering the delivery pipe 8.

[0027] The drive assembly includes a threaded rod 12, which is rotatably mounted in the first slide groove 4 via a bearing seat.

[0028] The first motor 13 is installed at the top of the first mounting base 3, and the output end of the first motor 13 is connected to the threaded rod 12 through a coupling. The first motor 13 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the first slide groove 4, the first slider 5 moves and drives the second mounting base 6 to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the injection barrel 7 and the delivery pipe 8.

[0029] The mounting plate 2 has a controller 14 installed on one side. The controller 14 is electrically connected to the air pump 9 and the first motor 13, which facilitates the control of the overall circuit of the device.

[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When using the powder injection and return device in the production process of this inoculant, the operator first injects the fine powder into the injection barrel 7 through the feed port 10 and opens the solenoid valve 11 and the air pump 9. When the fine powder falls to the conveying pipe 8, the air pump 9 sends air into the conveying pipe 8, and then blows the fine powder into the furnace body 1 through the conveying pipe 8. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the conveying pipe 8 in the furnace body 1, the operator can turn on the first motor 13. The first motor 13 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. Under the limiting action of the first slide groove 4, the first slider 5 moves and drives the second mounting seat 6 to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the height of the injection barrel 7 and the conveying pipe 8.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
