For example, the molten aluminum refining furnace disclosed in publication number "CN210689463U" includes a furnace body; the lower part of the furnace body has an molten aluminum outlet, a transfer hole at the bottom, and a liftable cover plate at the top, with a slag-blocking plate inside; the upper end of the slag-blocking plate is fixedly connected to the liftable cover plate, and the lower end extends into the furnace body; a graphite rotor degasser is installed on the liftable cover plate, and the graphite rotor of the graphite rotor degasser extends into the furnace body through a rotating rod; the graphite rotor has a slurry structure with multiple injection holes at the lower end for spraying slag-removing agent; the rotating rod has a hollow structure, and its central cavity communicates with the injection holes at the lower end of the graphite rotor; a movable plug is provided inside the molten aluminum outlet.

[0003] However, in the above technical solution, when the above-mentioned side refining furnace refines the aluminum liquid, surface slag is generated during the aluminum liquid refining process. This slag will move to the surroundings under the action of boiling aluminum liquid. If manual filtration or slag removal is relied upon, it will greatly increase the workload of the workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide an online refining and processing device for molten aluminum, which can effectively solve the problem in the background art where surface slag is generated during the refining process of molten aluminum in a side refining furnace. This slag will move to the surroundings under the action of boiling molten aluminum. If manual filtration or slag removal is required, it will greatly increase the workload of the workers.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An online refining and processing device for molten aluminum includes a base, and a refining furnace for refining molten aluminum is provided on one side of the upper surface of the base;

[0007] A right-angle frame is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper surface of the base, and a cleaning component for cleaning surface scum is provided at the top of the right-angle frame.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes an electric guide rail, which is installed at the top of the right-angle frame. A support frame is fixedly installed at the moving end of the electric guide rail. A cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame.

[0012] Preferably, a limit block is fixedly installed at the other end of the sliding column, and a spring is sleeved on the side of the sliding column body near the limit block.

[0013] Preferably, the sliding column is fixedly installed with two right-angle rods, both of which are slidably disposed on one side of the fixed frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) The worker starts the electric guide rail, which moves the filter plate to the top of the refining furnace. Then the worker starts the cylinder, which moves the filter plate down into the aluminum liquid in the refining furnace. Then the worker starts the motor, which drives the second gear to rotate. Under the meshing action of the second gear and the first gear, the rotating frame rotates, so that the baffle and the filter plate can rotate with the rotating frame.

Then the worker controls the electric guide rail to move the filter plate to the initial position, thus completing the cleaning of the scum. The worker does not need to clean manually, which reduces the workload of the worker. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an online refining and processing device for molten aluminum includes a base 1, and a refining furnace 2 for refining molten aluminum is provided on one side of the upper surface of the base 1.

[0024] A right-angle bracket 3 is fixedly installed on the other side of the upper surface of the base 1. A cleaning component 4 for cleaning surface scum is provided at the top inside the right-angle bracket 3.

[0025] The cleaning component 4 includes an electric guide rail 401, which is installed at the top of the right-angle frame 3. A support frame 402 is fixedly installed at the moving end of the electric guide rail 401. A cylinder 403 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 402. The output end of the cylinder 403 passes through the support frame 402 and is fixedly installed with a lifting frame 404. A rotating frame 405 is rotatably installed through the lower surface of the lifting frame 404. A baffle 406 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating frame 405. A filter plate 407 is fixedly installed on one side of the baffle 406.

[0026] The upper end of the rotating frame 405 is fitted with a first gear 408, and the bottom of the lifting frame 404 is provided with a drive structure 409 for driving the rotating frame 405 to rotate.

[0027] The drive structure 409 includes a positioning frame 4091, which is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom inside the lifting frame 404. A motor 4092 is fixedly installed on the top inside the positioning frame 4091. A second gear 4093 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 4092, and the second gear 4093 meshes with the first gear 408.

[0028] Workers pour molten aluminum into refining furnace 2 and then start the furnace to refine the aluminum. They then activate the electric guide rail 401, moving the filter plate 407 directly above the furnace. Next, they activate cylinder 403, lowering the filter plate 407 into the molten aluminum. Then, they activate motor 4092, causing its output shaft to rotate the second gear 4093. The meshing of the second gear 4093 with the first gear 408 rotates the rotating frame 405, causing the baffle 406 and filter plate 407 to follow. The baffle 406, in conjunction with the filter plate 407, cleans the scum from the liquid surface. Finally, the worker shuts off motor 4092 and retracts cylinder 403, then controls the electric guide rail 401 to move the filter plate 407 back to its initial position, completing the scum removal process without manual intervention, thus reducing workload.

[0029] In another embodiment of this utility model, a fixing frame 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the baffle 406, a sliding column 6 is slidably arranged through one side of the fixing frame 5, a column 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding column 6, and a push plate 8 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the column 7.

[0030] A limit block 9 is fixedly installed at the other end of the sliding column 6, and a spring 10 is sleeved on the side of the sliding column 6 near the limit block 9.

[0031] When the staff pushes the limiting block 9, the sliding column 6 moves the push plate 8, which pushes the scum accumulated on the surface of the filter plate 407. This eliminates the need for staff to manually remove the scum, further reducing their workload. When the limiting block 9 is released, the compressed spring 10 resets, pushing the limiting block 9 and thus resetting the push plate 8.

[0032] In another embodiment of this utility model, two right-angle rods 11 are fixedly installed on the body of the sliding column 6, and both right-angle rods 11 are slidably disposed on one side of the fixed frame 5.

[0033] By setting right-angle rods 11, the two right-angle rods 11 are limited to slide on one side of the fixed frame 5, thus preventing the push plate 8 from deviating in the direction of movement.

[0034] Working principle of this online aluminum liquid refining and processing device:

[0035] In operation, the operator starts the electric guide rail 401, causing its moving end to move the filter plate 407 directly above the refining furnace 2. Then, the operator starts the cylinder 403, causing its output end to lower the filter plate 407 into the molten aluminum in the refining furnace 2. Next, the operator starts the motor 4092, causing its output shaft to drive the second gear 4093 to rotate. Under the meshing action of the second gear 4093 and the first gear 408, the rotating frame 405 rotates, causing the baffle 406 and filter plate 407 to rotate with the rotating frame 405. The baffle 406, in conjunction with the filter plate 407, cleans the scum from the liquid surface. The operator then turns off the motor 4092 and controls the output end of the cylinder 403 to retract. Next, the operator controls the electric guide rail 401, causing the filter plate 407 to move to its initial position, thus completing the scum removal process. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning, reducing the operator's workload.

[0036] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. Any obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
