Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum foam processing technology, specifically to a smelting furnace for aluminum foam processing. Background Technology
[0002] Foamed aluminum is made by adding additives to pure aluminum or aluminum alloys and then performing a foaming process, thus possessing both metallic and bubbly characteristics. The processing of foamed aluminum involves adding aluminum ingots to a smelting furnace and adding other materials; therefore, a smelting furnace is required during the process.
[0003] Currently, in the process of processing aluminum foam, the furnace needs to be rotated to facilitate the pouring of the molten material. However, in actual use, because the furnace is a rotating structure, it lacks a supporting structure during the melting process, which easily leads to shaking. Furthermore, the melting process generates a large amount of smoke, which can easily cause harm to workers. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the furnace for processing aluminum foam to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0036] Example 2:
[0037] To achieve the extraction and discharge of fumes generated during the smelting process, this utility model provides another embodiment, please refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the smoke exhaust mechanism 5 includes a fixed bracket 51, which is fixedly installed on the back of the mounting bracket 1. A mounting ring 52 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket 1. A smoke hood 53 is fixedly installed inside the mounting ring 52, and the smoke hood 53 is positioned directly above the smelting furnace body 3.

[0040] After melting is completed, the support plate 412 is driven to slide downward in the limiting frame 413 by the first hydraulic rod 411. Then, the second hydraulic rod 423 extends upward and rotates on the hinge seat 422. At the same time, the end of the second hydraulic rod 423 away from the hinge seat 422 slides inside the connecting rod 424. The second hydraulic rod 423 drives the rotating rod 2 to rotate through the connecting rod 424. The rotating rod 2 drives the melting furnace body 3 to flip and pour out the molten material inside.
