[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an electric furnace for the thermal regeneration of molten ceramic sand, comprising a furnace body 1, inside which are arranged a first heating component 2, a second heating component 3, and a third heating component 7. A door 6 is hinged to one side of the furnace body 1. A slide rail 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the furnace body 1, and the slide rail 31 is symmetrically distributed about the bisector of the furnace body 1. A fan mechanism 4 and an exhaust mechanism 5 are arranged on the top of the furnace body 1, with the exhaust mechanism 5 located on one side of the fan mechanism 4. This fan mechanism 4 is composed of an intake fan, a filter screen, and a heating tube. By heating the external air and inputting it into the furnace body 1, the furnace body 1 achieves temperature control while simultaneously controlling the temperature difference. The exhaust mechanism 5, composed of an exhaust pipe and an exhaust valve, assists in the flow of gas. The third heating component 7 and the first heating component 2 have the same structure as the second heating component 3. The first heating component 2, the second heating component 3, and the third heating component 7 are located on three sides of the inner wall of the electric furnace body 1. A material rack 8 is fixedly connected between the third heating component 7 and the first heating component 2. The two sides of the material rack 8 are fixed to the inner walls of the slide rails 31 of the third heating component 7 and the first heating component 2, respectively. The second heating component 3 includes a mounting box 34 that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the electric furnace body 1. Slider blocks 32 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting box 34, and the sliders 32 and the slide rails 31 form a slidable connection. The structure allows the mounting box 34 to move via slider 32 and slide rail 31, facilitating the movement of the heating rods 33 on the mounting box 34 to the outside of the electric furnace body 1 for inspection and replacement. This also improves the stability of the mounting box 34's movement. The mounting box 34, fixing head 35, and connector 37 are all hollow structures used for cable routing. This structure facilitates cable routing while preventing high-temperature damage to the cables. The mounting box 34, fixing head 35, and connector 37 are all high-temperature resistant ceramic structures. Heating rods 33 are threaded onto the inner wall of the mounting box 34. Multiple heating rods 33 are evenly spaced laterally about one end of the mounting box 34. The other end of the mounting box 34 is integrally connected to the connector 37. This structure utilizes multiple... The heating rod 33 can be replaced individually when it is damaged, reducing the maintenance cost of the heating rod 33. The outer wall of the connector 37 is fitted with a connecting screw sleeve 36. One end of the connecting screw sleeve 36 is connected to a fixing head 35. The connecting screw sleeve 36, the fixing head 35 and the connector 37 are all threaded. One end of the fixing head 35 is fixedly connected to the electric furnace body 1. This structure can separate the mounting box 34 from the fixing head 35 by rotating the connecting screw sleeve 36 onto the fixing head 35, which facilitates the movement of the position of the mounting box 34. The mounting box 34 is movably connected to the inner wall of the electric furnace body 1. The uniformity of heating of the material is ensured by the first heating component 2, the second heating component 3 and the third heating component 7.
[0024] Working principle: When using this electric furnace for the thermal regeneration of molten ceramic sand, if it is necessary to replace the heating rods 33 of the third heating component 7, the first heating component 2, and the second heating component 3, the connecting screw sleeves 36 at one end of the mounting box 34 of the corresponding third heating component 7, the first heating component 2, and the second heating component 3 can be rotated to rotate the connecting screw sleeves 36 onto the fixing head 35 and separate them from the connecting head 37. Then, the mounting box 34 is pulled so that it slides outward from inside the slide rail 31 via the sliders 32 on both sides until the heating rods 33 on the mounting box 34 are completely moved to the outside of the electric furnace body 1. Then, the damaged heating rod 33 is rotated separately to separate it from the mounting box 34 for disassembly and replacement. After replacement, the mounting box 34 is pushed back into the electric furnace body 1, and then the connecting screw sleeves 36 are rotated to connect with the connecting head 37 to complete the replacement of the heating rod 33.
