Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0029] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of a self-cleaning electric arc furnace according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0031] Support bracket 1;

[0032] The furnace body 3 is located in the middle of the support bracket 1;

[0033] Rotating clamps 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the support bracket 1 to clamp and fix the furnace body 3.

[0034] The hot-melting scraping structure is located inside the furnace body 3;

[0035] The hot-melting scraping structure includes a scraper 13 and a three-way pipe 15. The scraper 13 is located inside the furnace body 3, and a heat-insulating gas storage box 12 is fixedly installed on its top. A placement groove 14 is opened in the middle of the scraper 13. Heat-conducting plates 19 are provided on the right side and bottom of the placement groove 14. The three-way pipe 15 is fixedly installed in the middle of the placement groove 14. The top of the three-way pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the heat-insulating gas storage box 12 and is equipped with an air pump 17. Electric on / off valves 16 are provided on the lower side and right side of the three-way pipe 15, and an air jet plate 23 is fixedly installed on its outer end. An igniter 18 is provided on the outer side of the air jet plate 23.

[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, when in use, the air pump 17 on the right side of the heat insulation gas storage box 12 is started, and the electric on / off valve 16 on the right side is started, so that the air pump 17 can draw the combustible gas in the heat insulation gas storage box 12 into the three-way pipe 15, and then enter the right jet plate 23 through the opened electric on / off valve 16 to blow air onto the right heat conduction plate 19, and the igniter 18 is started to heat the right heat conduction plate 19, so that the nearby solidified molten steel melts. Then, with the cooperation of the scraper 13, the solidified molten steel that has been solidified due to cooling and adhering to the inner wall of the furnace body 3 is melted and loosened. Then, when the scraper 13 rotates in the opposite direction, since the solidified molten steel only melts the part of the bottom that is in contact with the furnace body 3, the solidified molten steel can fall out. So when the scraper 13 moves away, the solidified molten steel quickly separates from the part of the bottom that has melted and re-solidified, so that the solidified molten steel can be discharged, thereby reducing the residue of solidified molten steel on the inner wall of the furnace body 3.

[0037] By setting a hot-melting scraping structure inside the furnace body 3, the contact part can be heated, thereby melting the bottom of the solidified molten steel residue nearby. The hot-melting scraping structure is then pushed, causing the solidified molten steel residue to quickly separate from the melted part. Due to the tilt of the furnace body 3, the residue quickly falls out of the furnace body 3, thus achieving the cleaning of the solidified molten steel residue and reducing the trouble caused by manual cleaning.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a support plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating clamp 2. An electric rotating disk 5 is provided inside the support plate 4. A lifting structure is provided on the top of the electric rotating disk 5. The lifting structure includes a positioning frame 6 and a lifting plate 8. The positioning frame 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the electric rotating disk 5, and an electric lifting screw 7 is movably installed in the middle. The lifting plate 8 is disposed on the surface of the electric lifting screw 7, and a rotating rod 11 is movably disposed on the right side. The side of the bottom of the rotating rod 11 is fixedly connected to the hot-melt scraping structure. A rotating unit is provided on the top of the lifting plate 8, so that the electric lifting screw 7 and the rotating rod 11 are connected in a transmission manner.

[0039] In this embodiment of the utility model, when in use, the electric lifting screw 7 is activated, causing the electric lifting screw 7 to rotate forward significantly and then reverse slightly, thereby causing the lifting plate 8 to rise and fall intermittently. This drives the rotating rod 11 and the scraper 13 on its surface into the furnace body 3. At the same time, when the lifting plate 8 moves, it drives the sprocket 9 at the top left end of the lifting plate 8 to move. Through the rotating unit, the rotating rod 11 and the scraper 13 rotate and move inside the furnace body 3, scraping away the solidified molten steel and residue remaining inside the furnace body 3. The furnace body 3 is then tilted downwards, thereby allowing the scraped solidified molten steel and residue inside to be discharged.

[0040] By fixing a support plate 4 to the top of the left rotating clamp 2 and setting an electric rotating disk 5, the angle of the lifting structure can be controlled, thereby facilitating the discharge of internal materials. A rotating unit is set on the lifting structure, which can drive the above-mentioned hot melting scraping structure to reciprocate and lift, thereby reaching deep into the furnace body 3 to thoroughly clean the solidified molten steel residue inside the furnace body 3, thereby further achieving the cleaning effect of solidified molten steel residue.

[0041] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotating unit includes sprockets 9 and chains 10. The sprockets 9 are arranged in an array on the top of the lifting plate 8. The left sprocket 9 is movably installed on the left side of the lifting plate 8 and is movably connected to the electric lifting screw 7. The right sprocket 9 is arranged on the top of the right end of the lifting plate 8 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 11. The chains 10 are sleeved on the surfaces of the two sprockets 9.

[0042] In this embodiment of the utility model, when the lifting plate 8 moves, it will drive the sprocket 9 at the top left end of the lifting plate 8 to move, and make the sprocket 9 at the top left end of the lifting plate 8 rotate with the surface of the lifting plate 8. Then, the chain 10 drives the sprocket 9 at the other end to rotate, so that the rotating rod 11 and the scraper 13 rotate and move inside the furnace body 3, scraping the solidified molten steel and residue remaining inside the furnace body 3.

[0043] By setting up a rotating unit, when the lifting plate 8 moves, it will drive the rotating rod 11 to rotate synchronously, which makes it easier to clean the solidified molten steel inside the furnace body 3.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the left support bracket 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 20, the side of the first sliding groove 20 is provided with a second sliding groove 21, and the bottom of the support plate 4 is fixedly installed with a slider 22, which is slidably disposed inside the first sliding groove 20 and the second sliding groove 21.

[0045] In this embodiment of the utility model, when the rotating clamp 2 rotates, it will drive the support plate 4 to adjust its angle, thereby causing the slider 22 at the bottom of the support plate 4 to slide along the first slide groove 20 and the second slide groove 21 at the top of the support bracket 1. This allows the support plate 4 to adjust its angle synchronously with the rotating clamp 2. After the furnace body 3 tilts to discharge the material, cleaning work can be carried out, reducing the difficulty of subsequent heating.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the curvature of the right heat-conducting plate 19 is equal to the curvature of the inner wall of the furnace body 3, and the length of the lower heat-conducting plate 19 is equal to the radius of the inner wall of the furnace body 3.

[0047] In this embodiment of the utility model, when in use, the curvature value of the right heat-conducting plate 19 is equal to the curvature value of the inner wall of the furnace body 3, and the length value of the lower heat-conducting plate 19 is equal to the radius value of the inner wall of the furnace body 3, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the solidified molten steel residue on the inner wall of the furnace body 3.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the width of the heat-conducting plates 19 on both sides is equal to the width of the placement groove 14, and the scraper 13 is an insulated scraper as a whole.

[0049] In this embodiment of the utility model, when in use, by making the width of the heat-conducting plates 19 on both sides equal to the width of the placement groove 14, and by using the scraper 13 as a whole heat-insulating scraper, the heat-conducting plates 19 on both sides will not transfer heat to the side of the scraper 13 when they are working, so that the solidified molten steel in contact with them will melt and affect the subsequent discharge effect.

[0050] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the length of the jet plate 23 is less than the length of the corresponding heat-conducting plate 19, and the length of the igniter 18 is less than the length of the jet plate 23.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, when in use, by making the length of the jet plate 23 less than the length of the corresponding heat-conducting plate 19, and by making the length of the igniter 18 less than the length of the jet plate 23, the combustible gas is concentrated and burned, thereby reducing the waste of combustible gas.

[0052] The present invention provides a self-cleaning electric arc furnace in the above embodiments. When in use, the rotating clamp 2 at the top of the support bracket 1 is activated, which changes the angle of the furnace body 3, thereby causing the molten steel in the furnace body 3 to be poured out.

[0053] When the rotating clamp 2 rotates, it will drive the support plate 4 to adjust its angle, which will cause the slider 22 at the bottom of the support plate 4 to slide along the first slide groove 20 and the second slide groove 21 at the top of the support bracket 1, thereby causing the support plate 4 to adjust its angle synchronously with the rotating clamp 2.

[0054] When the molten steel is poured out, and the molten steel and its residue that remain solidified due to the cooling inside the furnace body 3 are cleaned, the electric rotating disk 5 inside the support plate 4 is activated, which in turn changes the angle of the positioning frame 6, thereby moving the rotating rod 11 and the scraper 13 above the furnace body 3.

[0055] Then, the electric lifting screw 7 is activated, causing it to rotate forward significantly and then reverse slightly, which in turn causes the lifting plate 8 to rise and fall intermittently. This drives the rotating rod 11 and the scraper 13 on its surface into the furnace body 3. At the same time, when the lifting plate 8 moves, it drives the sprocket 9 at the top left end of the lifting plate 8 to move, and the sprocket 9 at the top left end of the lifting plate 8 rotates with the surface of the lifting plate 8. Then, the chain 10 drives the sprocket 9 at the other end to rotate, so that the rotating rod 11 and the scraper 13 rotate and move inside the furnace body 3, scraping away the solidified molten steel and residue remaining in the furnace body 3. The furnace body 3 is tilted downwards, so that the scraped solidified molten steel and residue inside can be discharged.

[0056] At the same time, the air pump 17 on the right side of the heat insulation gas storage box 12 is started, and the electric on / off valve 16 on the right side is started, so that the air pump 17 can draw the combustible gas in the heat insulation gas storage box 12 into the three-way pipe 15, and then enter the right jet plate 23 through the opened electric on / off valve 16 to blow air onto the right heat conduction plate 19, and start the igniter 18, so that the combustible gas sprayed out by the heat conduction plate 19 is ignited, thereby heating the right heat conduction plate 19.

[0057] Through the thermal conductivity of the furnace body 3 and its heat-conducting plate 19, the solidified molten steel in the vicinity is heated and melted. Then, with the cooperation of the scraper 13, the solidified molten steel that has been solidified and adhered to the inner wall of the furnace body 3 due to cooling is melted and loosened. Then, when the scraper 13 rotates in the opposite direction, since the solidified molten steel only melts the part of the bottom that is in contact with the furnace body 3, the solidified molten steel can fall out. Thus, when the scraper 13 moves away, the solidified molten steel quickly separates from the part of the bottom that has melted and re-solidified, thereby allowing the solidified molten steel to be discharged, thereby reducing the residue of solidified molten steel on the inner wall of the furnace body 3.

[0058] When the furnace body 3 is moved to the bottom, the lower electric on / off valve 16 is activated, allowing combustible gas to pass through the electric on / off valve 16 at the lower end of the three-way pipe 15. This combustible gas then enters the lower jet plate 23 and blows it onto the lower heat-conducting plate 19. The igniter 18 is activated, igniting the combustible gas ejected from the heat-conducting plate 19. This heats the lower heat-conducting plate 19, which in turn heats the bottom part of the inner wall of the furnace body 3 that is in contact with it. Consequently, the solidified molten steel in the vicinity is melted, and the steel melts on the scraper 1. With the cooperation of scraper 3, the solidified molten steel is scraped away. When scraper 13 rotates in the opposite direction, the solidified molten steel only melts the part at the bottom that is in contact with the furnace body 3, allowing the solidified molten steel to fall out. When scraper 13 moves away, the solidified molten steel quickly separates from the part at the bottom that has melted and re-solidified, allowing the solidified molten steel to be discharged. This reduces the residue of solidified molten steel on the inner wall of the furnace body 3, thus achieving automatic cleaning of solidified molten steel and avoiding the trouble caused by manual cleaning.

[0059] 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 and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
