Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machine tool casting production technology, and in particular to a heating furnace for machine tool casting production that is easy to feed. Background Technology

[0002] Machine tool casting furnaces are specialized equipment used in machine tool casting production to heat and melt metal raw materials. Their core function is to heat solid metal raw materials to a liquid state and ensure the molten metal reaches the appropriate pouring temperature through precise temperature control, laying the foundation for subsequent casting processes. Based on structure and application, furnaces can be classified into box furnaces, pit furnaces, and bogie furnaces, among others. Their performance directly affects the purity and fluidity of the molten metal—insufficient or uneven heating temperatures can easily lead to gas inclusions, slag inclusions, or inconsistent solidification rates in the molten metal, resulting in defects such as shrinkage cavities and cracks in the castings. Modern furnaces are often equipped with automated temperature control and energy-saving designs to improve heating efficiency and casting quality stability. Currently, pit furnaces require external suspension tools for feeding raw materials. However, the current feeding devices exhibit significant swaying during operation, making precise placement during unloading difficult, thus requiring improvement. Utility Model Content

[0057] refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the rotating part further includes: a connecting groove 17 disposed on the mounting plate 12 for component entry; and a connecting assembly 18 disposed on the winding shaft 16 for raw material connection.

[0058] In this configuration, the stabilizer bar 11 is used to ensure the stable lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 12 and prevent the mounting plate 12 from shifting; the connecting assembly 18 is composed of a rope and a connecting hook, the rope is fixed on the winding shaft 16, the connecting hook can hook the raw material and can be fixed by the stabilizing clamp 8; a fixed pulley is provided in the connecting groove 17 for the rope in the connecting assembly 18 to descend.

The second motor 15 is started, and the second motor 15 drives the winding shaft 16 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the winding shaft 16 lowers the rope and allows the raw material to enter the heating furnace. When the connecting assembly 18 descends, the stabilizing clamp 8 ensures that the connecting hook is held, allowing the sliding plate 5 to move and descend. The sliding plate 5 maintains the stability of the connecting hook, ensuring that the connecting assembly 18 does not swing significantly and ensuring the stability of the raw material. When the sliding plate 5 contacts the bottom of the stabilizing plate 3, the first motor 7 works, driving the gear 6 to rotate. This causes the two gears 6 to drive the stabilizing clamp 8 to release the connecting hook, allowing the connecting hook and the raw material to continue to descend. The stabilizing clamp 8 can also continue to prevent the descending rope from swinging significantly, improving the feeding accuracy.
