Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of magnesium or magnesium alloy smelting technology, specifically relating to a raw material and condenser supply platform structure for a vertical tank process in magnesium metallurgy. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, magnesium production enterprises use vertical tank reduction technology. In the magnesium reduction operation site, one filling is required once per production cycle (12 hours). A single hopper (enough for one reduction tank) is used for feeding. A gantry crane is used to lift the single hopper, and the hopper outlet is manually aligned with the vertical tank inlet for filling. The material required for one reduction tank is added at a time. After filling is completed, the condenser is lifted by the gantry crane, and the condenser is manually aligned with the reduction tank for installation. A single furnace has 40 to 60 reduction tanks (this may vary depending on the design). A workshop is equipped with multiple reduction furnaces, which results in problems such as low efficiency, repetitive operation, and time and labor costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a raw material and condenser supply platform structure for a vertical tank process in magnesium metallurgy. By arranging and combining multiple hoppers and / or condensers, it can realize batch supply methods such as single-row feeding, multi-row feeding, single-row condenser supply, multi-row co-condenser, single-row feeding or condenser, and multi-row feeding or condenser, which effectively improves the feeding efficiency, reduces the number of repetitive operations, and saves time and effort.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A raw material and condenser supply platform structure for a magnesium metallurgical vertical tank process includes n hoppers adapted to a reduction tank and n condensers. The n hoppers are arranged in parallel and fixedly connected. The inlets of the n hoppers are all on the same horizontal plane and have the same opening direction. The distance between the outlets of two adjacent hoppers is the same as the distance between the inlets of two adjacent reduction tanks. The n condensers are arranged in parallel and fixedly connected. The distance between the connection points of two adjacent condensers and the reduction tank is the same as the distance between the inlets of two adjacent reduction tanks.
[0006] In one embodiment, the n hoppers or condensers arranged in parallel and fixedly connected in sequence are all in m rows. Adjacent rows of hoppers or condensers are fixedly connected. The distance between the outlets of adjacent rows of hoppers is the same as the distance between the inlets of adjacent rows of reduction tanks. The distance between the connection points of adjacent rows of condensers and reduction tanks is the same as the distance between the inlets of adjacent rows of reduction tanks.
[0007] In one embodiment, n hoppers and n condensers are arranged in parallel and alternately, with adjacent hoppers and condensers fixedly connected.

[0039] Example 4

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0043] When the supply platform structure is as described in Example 1, the control unit is operated by the editable automated control software to move the hopper above the single row of 8 reduction tanks for single-row batch filling, and then the condenser is moved above the single row of 8 reduction tanks for condenser installation, and this process is repeated 5 times.
[0044] When the supply platform structure is as described in Example 2, the control unit is operated by the editable automated control software to move the hopper above the 40 reduction tanks in multiple rows for batch filling of the 40 reduction tanks, and then the condenser is moved above the 40 reduction tanks for condenser installation, which only requires one operation.
[0045] When the supply platform structure is as described in Example 3, the control unit is operated by the editable automated control software to move the hopper and condenser above the single row of 8 reduction tanks. First, the hopper outlet is aligned with the inlet of each of the 8 reduction tanks for single-row batch filling. Then, the condenser is moved above the single row of 8 reduction tanks for condenser installation, reducing the condenser's moving distance. This process is repeated 5 times.
[0046] When the supply platform structure is as described in Example 4, the control unit is operated by the editable automated control software to move the hopper and condenser above the 40 reduction tanks in multiple rows. First, the hopper outlet is aligned with the inlet of each of the 40 reduction tanks for single-row batch filling. Then, the condenser is moved above the 40 reduction tanks in multiple rows for condenser installation, reducing the condenser's moving distance. This process is repeated once.
[0047] The above embodiments demonstrate that when there are 40 reduction tanks, the existing methods require 40 repetitions each of moving the hopper packing and installing the condenser. However, with this invention, embodiments 1 and 3 only need to be repeated 5 times, and embodiments 2 and 4 only need to be repeated once, greatly improving work efficiency.
