Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of slag cleaning equipment, specifically to a hot cleaning furnace device for aluminum and aluminum alloy melting furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of aluminum and aluminum alloys, the melting and casting stage is one of the key steps. During the purification of the molten aluminum, a certain amount of oxide slag is inevitably generated on the surface of the molten aluminum due to contact with air. After each heat, the slag often adheres to the molten pool of the furnace. According to the traditional production operation method, the furnace body needs to be completely cooled down before manual cleaning. However, this method of manual cleaning after cooling has many drawbacks. On the one hand, cooling the furnace body takes a lot of time, which will interrupt the entire production process, seriously affecting the production progress and leading to a significant reduction in production efficiency. On the other hand, after the furnace body cools down, a layer of slag that is difficult to clean will form on the inner side of the furnace wall. This slag not only occupies the furnace space, affecting the capacity of subsequent molten aluminum, but may also affect the quality of the aluminum and aluminum alloy products produced later. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems of difficulty in removing slag after the furnace body cools down in the above-mentioned prior art, this utility model provides a hot cleaning furnace device for aluminum and aluminum alloy melting furnaces.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A hot cleaning furnace device for aluminum and aluminum alloy melting furnaces includes a base plate, a cleaning section, a fixing plate, and fork holders. The cleaning section is an I-shaped steel rail, one end of which is configured as a shovel for cleaning slag, and the other end of which is located on the upper surface of the base plate, with the longer flange of the I-shaped steel rail fitting against the base plate. The cleaning section is reinforced to the base plate by two fixing plates, which are located on both sides of the cleaning section. One end of each fixing plate is connected to the cleaning section, and the ends of the two fixing plates are connected together. The other end of each fixing plate is connected to the upper surface of the base plate, forming a triangular structure between the two fixing plates and the base plate. Two fork holders are provided on the lower surface of the base plate. The fork holders are square tubes, and the two fork holders are parallel to each other, with the length direction of the square tubes of the two fork holders parallel to the cleaning section.
[0006] Furthermore, the blade at the shovel-shaped end of the cleaning part has an inclination angle of 30-60°.
[0007] Furthermore, the longer flange of the I-shaped rail is fixedly connected to the base plate by bolts.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixing plate and the cleaning part, as well as the fixing plate and the base plate, are connected by welding, and the weld length is not less than 2 / 3 of the side length of the fixing plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the forklift compartment is provided with a wear-resistant lining plate.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] This utility model provides a hot cleaning furnace device for aluminum and aluminum alloy melting furnaces. The cleaning section adopts I-shaped steel rails, which are characterized by high temperature resistance, high strength, and strong deformation resistance. This allows for immediate cleaning of slag inside the furnace after smelting, preventing slag from solidifying on the furnace wall after cooling and becoming difficult to clean. Furthermore, the I-shaped steel rails are less prone to breakage or damage during slag cleaning and are less prone to deformation, ensuring long-term stable cleaning operations in high-temperature furnace environments, improving production efficiency and reducing maintenance costs. Two fixing plates reinforce the cleaning section and the base plate, forming a triangular structure, enhancing the overall stability and reliability of the device and ensuring it can withstand significant forces during cleaning. The lower surface of the base plate is equipped with parallel square tube forks parallel to the cleaning section, facilitating use with forklifts. This device can perform cleaning before the furnace temperature drops, effectively shortening slag cleaning time, ensuring the continuity of overall production, significantly improving production efficiency, and reducing energy consumption and labor costs associated with furnace shutdown for cooling and manual cleaning, thus achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
