Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0019] like Figs. 1-3 As shown, a high-level water tank for a smelting furnace is made of SUS304 stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance. The front and rear side plates 1 are stamped corrugated ribs, which have a certain pressure-bearing capacity. The bottom plate 2, left and right side plates 3, and top plate 4 are assembled and welded on site. The tank body is installed on the base 5. The surface of the tank body is welded with transverse and longitudinal reinforcing channel steel 6, which improves the overall pressure-bearing capacity.
[0020] The elevated water tank includes a water supply pipe 7, an inlet sleeve 8, a vent pipe 9, a water supply buffer sleeve, an overflow pipe inner cone 10, a water level gauge pipe 11, a water supply pipe buffer sleeve 12, an overflow pipe 13, a sewage pipe 14, a water outlet pipe 15, and a water outlet baffle plate 16.
[0021] The above are specific embodiments of this utility model. The material is thin, lightweight, has sufficient pressure resistance, is easy to install, and makes the box aesthetically pleasing, achieving a balance between practicality and aesthetics.
[0022] An elevated water tank for a smelting furnace is constructed from high-quality food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, ensuring a long service life and effectively preventing secondary water pollution. This improves the quality of the circulating water in the furnace, reduces corrosion of pipes, enhances the stability of the circulating water system, and lowers the risk of leaks. The bottom plate 2 and top plate 4 are thin, while the side plates are made of corrugated stamped ribs, resulting in a lightweight design that meets usage requirements, facilitates installation, and has an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Reinforcing channel steel 6 is welded horizontally and vertically to the tank surface, increasing overall strength and meeting pressure requirements. A buffer sleeve is installed at the water supply pipe 7 inlet to reduce the impact of water entering the tank, protecting it. An outlet baffle 16 is installed at the water outlet pipe 15 inlet to reduce the impact of water entering the outlet pipe 15 and prevent severe vibration. A radar level gauge is installed in the tank for easy monitoring of the water level. The water tank is equipped with two overflow pipes 13, which not only meet the process requirements of high liquid level operation, but also eliminate the risk of water leakage due to excessive liquid level.
