[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Wherein, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" mentioned herein are used in conjunction with... Figure 1 The orientation is used as a reference.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vacuum induction melting furnace that is easy to clean, including a pair of fixed plates 1, a furnace body 2 rotatably installed between the pair of fixed plates 1, including a furnace cover 4, a first cleaning component for cleaning the inner wall of the furnace, and a second cleaning component; the furnace cover 4 is movably installed on the top of the melting furnace, a pair of cylinders 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the melting furnace, the telescopic ends of the pair of cylinders 3 are fixedly connected to the furnace cover 4, a rotating plate 14 is rotatably installed inside the furnace cover 4, a pair of fixed cylinders 5 are fixedly installed inside the furnace cover 4, the pair of fixed cylinders 5 are fixedly connected to the rotating plate 14, and the second cleaning component is installed inside the pair of fixed cylinders 5;
[0021] The first cleaning component includes a scraper 20, and there is a pair of scrapers 20, which are fixedly installed on the rotating plate 14.
[0022] A furnace body 2 can be installed between a pair of fixed plates 1. Metal can be smelted inside the furnace body 2. A furnace cover 4 is installed to create a vacuum inside the furnace body 2. A first cleaning component and a second cleaning component are installed to clean the inner wall of the furnace body 2. A pair of cylinders 3 are installed. Activating the cylinders 3 causes the extension and retraction of the cylinders 3 to raise and lower the furnace cover 4, thus facilitating the opening and closing of the furnace cover 4. A rotating plate 14 is installed. The rotation of the rotating plate 14 causes a pair of scrapers 20 to rotate, thereby scraping off the slag adhering to the inner wall of the furnace body 2. Then, the furnace body 2 is rotated to pour out the slag, thus effectively avoiding affecting the purity of other metal materials in the next smelting.
[0023] Furthermore, the second cleaning component includes a brush 9, a rotating cylinder 6 rotatably mounted inside the fixed cylinder 5, a mounting plate 8 slidably mounted inside the rotating cylinder 6, the brush 9 being disposed on one side of the mounting plate 8, and a plurality of teeth being fixedly disposed on the other side of the mounting plate 8, and a first gear 7 rotatably mounted inside the rotating cylinder 6 that meshes with the plurality of teeth.
[0024] The first gear 7 is installed, and the drive motor is started to drive the first gear 7 to rotate. The gear meshes with the teeth on the mounting plate 8, which can drive the mounting plate 8 to rise and fall, thereby driving the brush 9 to rise and fall. When the mounting plate 8 drives the brush 9 to fall into the furnace body 2, the rotating drum 6 is rotated, which can drive the mounting plate 8 and the brush 9 to rotate, thereby further cleaning the inner wall of the furnace body 2.
[0025] Furthermore, a fixing column 11 is fixedly installed inside the furnace cover 4. The bottom end of the fixing column 11 passes through the rotating plate 14 and is fixedly installed with a third gear 15. The third gear 15 is fixedly installed inside the furnace cover 4. A pair of second gear rings 16 that mesh with the third gear 15 are rotatably installed inside the furnace cover 4. The pair of second gear rings 16 are fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 6 and rotatably connected to the fixing cylinder 5. The pair of second gear rings 16 are also fixedly connected to the rotating plate 14.
[0026] The rotation of the rotating plate 14 can drive a pair of second gear rings 16 to revolve. Through the fixed installation of the third gear 15, the pair of second gear rings 16 mesh with the third gear 15 during the revolution, thereby driving the pair of second gear rings 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the pair of rotating cylinders 6 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting plate 8 and the brush 9 to rotate, thus further cleaning the inner wall of the furnace body 2.
[0027] Furthermore, a first motor 10 is fixedly installed inside the furnace cover 4, a second gear 12 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the first motor 10, and a first gear ring 13 that meshes with the second gear 12 is rotatably installed on the fixed column 11. The first gear ring 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 14.
[0028] The first motor 10 is installed and started, which drives the second gear 12 to rotate. The second gear 12 meshes with the first gear ring 13, which in turn drives the first gear ring 13 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating plate 14 to rotate.
[0029] Furthermore, a second motor 17 is fixedly installed on a fixed plate 1, a fourth gear 18 is fixedly installed on the drive end of the second motor 17, a third gear ring 19 that meshes with the fourth gear 18 is rotatably installed on a fixed plate 1, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the third gear ring 19, and the rotating shaft passes through the fixed plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the furnace body 2.
[0030] The second motor 17 is installed and started to drive the fourth gear 18 to rotate. The fourth gear 18 meshes with the third gear ring 19 to drive the fourth gear 18 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the furnace body 2 to flip so that the slag can be poured out.
[0031] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires, and should select appropriate controllers according to actual conditions to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical connections between the various electrical components are completed in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.
[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, cylinder 3 is activated, and the extension end of cylinder 3 extends, causing the furnace cover 4 to open. The metal to be melted is placed inside the furnace body 2. Cylinder 3 is activated again, and the extension end of cylinder 3 retracts, causing the furnace cover 4 to close. The smelting furnace is then started to melt the metal inside. After melting, the molten metal is poured out. When cleaning the inner wall of the furnace body 2 is required, the furnace cover 4 is closed, and the drive motor is started, driving the first gear 7 to rotate. This causes the first gear 7 to mesh with the teeth on the mounting plate 8, causing the mounting plate 8 to descend, thereby causing the brush 9 to descend. When the brush 9 descends into the furnace body 2, the first motor 10 is started. The rotation of the drive end 0 drives the second gear 12 to rotate. The second gear 12 meshes with the first gear ring 13, which in turn drives the first gear ring 13 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating plate 14 to rotate. This causes a pair of fixed cylinders 5 and a pair of second gear rings 16 to revolve. The second gear ring 16 meshes with the third gear 15, which drives the pair of second gear rings 16 to rotate, thereby driving a pair of rotating cylinders 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the brush 9 to rotate, thus achieving a better cleaning effect. After cleaning is completed, the second motor 17 is started, which drives the fourth gear 18 to rotate. The fourth gear 18 meshes with the third gear ring 19, which drives the third gear ring 19 to rotate, causing the rotating shaft and furnace body 2 to flip over, and the slag can be poured out.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
