Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal powder material manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a quick-release water atomization intermediate package positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] Powder catalyst synthesis of diamond offers advantages such as high yield, good quality, and low consumption of raw and auxiliary materials. In recent years, my country's diamond industry has been researching and developing powder catalysts and their diamond synthesis processes. Powder catalyst and graphite-synthesized diamonds have significant advantages in terms of quality, yield, and cemented carbide consumption, and have become an important approach for my country's diamond manufacturing industry.

[0003] Water atomization powder production is widely used in powder metallurgy and diamond catalyst industries due to its lower production cost compared to gas atomization and better powder compressibility. Traditional water atomization equipment exposes the powder to air during atomization, only allowing it to fall into an atomization chamber filled with inert gas after atomization, which is not conducive to reducing oxygen content. Traditional atomization equipment generally uses flame preheating of the tundish. With national environmental bans and companies' increased emphasis on safety, this method is gradually being replaced by resistance heating and induction heating. High-frequency induction heating is environmentally friendly and stable, but it requires a graphite heating element. The heated tundish needs to be removed from the heating device and placed onto the spray plate. Inaccurate positioning of the tundish during this process can affect product quality and may even cause molten steel to adhere to the spray plate, blocking the passage to the atomization chamber, leading to production stoppages.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a quick-release water atomizing intermediate package positioning device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-release water atomizing tundish positioning device. By cooperating with a sealed air inlet cylinder, a retaining ring, a heat-insulating positioning cylinder, a diverting ring, and a positioning frame, it solves the problem in the existing technology where inaccurate positioning of the tundish can affect product quality, and may even cause molten steel to stick to the spray plate and block the passage of molten steel to the atomization chamber, resulting in abnormal production stoppage.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0007] This utility model relates to a quick-release water atomizing intermediate package positioning device, comprising a sealed air inlet cylinder. A retaining ring and a positioning ring are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the sealed air inlet cylinder, respectively. A spray disc is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning ring. A heat-insulating positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the retaining ring. A flow-diverting ring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the surface of the heat-insulating positioning cylinder. A positioning frame is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the heat-insulating positioning cylinder. An intermediate package is placed in the inner cavity of the positioning frame. An intermediate package opening is fixedly connected to the bottom of the intermediate package, extending from the bottom of the intermediate package opening to the bottom of the heat-insulating positioning cylinder. A heat-insulating cotton layer is filled between the intermediate package and the heat-insulating positioning cylinder.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that pipe fittings are fixedly connected to the four corners of the surface of the sealed air inlet cylinder, and the pipe fittings are designed symmetrically in pairs, which facilitates the connection to the external inert gas delivery pipeline.

[0009] The present invention is further provided in that trapezoidal grooves for positioning are provided at the top and bottom of the inner cavity of the sealed air inlet cylinder, and the trapezoidal grooves provide a clear positioning reference for the installation of the retaining ring and the positioning ring.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the heat-insulating positioning cylinder is a one-piece steel pipe cut into two equal parts, and fixing holes are provided at the upper and lower ends of both sides of the split body. The heat-insulating positioning cylinder adopts a two-part design to ensure that the two split body structures have the same size, and can fit tightly after assembly, reducing the heat-insulating gap and improving the heat-insulating effect.

[0011] The present invention is further provided that the top of the surface of the heat-insulating positioning cylinder is provided with a positioning groove, which provides a positioning reference for the installation and fixing of the retaining ring.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that both the flow divider ring and the retaining ring are integral circular rings cut into two equal parts. The surface of the flow divider ring is provided with air holes. The two-part design of the flow divider ring and the retaining ring ensures the consistency of the shape and size of the two separate structures. After assembly, they can form a complete ring structure, avoiding gas diversion disorder or positioning deviation caused by unevenness of the separate structures. The air holes on the surface of the flow divider ring can evenly disperse the gas entering the sealed air inlet cylinder into the internal space, providing a stable inert gas protection environment for the molten steel and helping to reduce the oxygen content. At the same time, the separate design also facilitates installation or disassembly with the heat preservation positioning cylinder.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the upper and lower planes of the retaining ring are perpendicular to the retaining ring axis, and the inner circular surface is perpendicular to the upper and lower planes. This design ensures the fit between the retaining ring and the inner wall of the sealed air inlet cylinder and the outer wall of the heat insulation positioning cylinder, and avoids the axial displacement of the heat insulation positioning cylinder after installation due to the inclination of the retaining ring plane. It ensures that the axis of the heat insulation positioning cylinder and the sealed air inlet cylinder coincides, thereby providing a basis for the accurate positioning of the intermediate tundish and improving the overall positioning accuracy.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the positioning ring is a circular ring structure, and the upper and lower planes are perpendicular to the center line of the positioning ring. This design ensures that the positioning ring fits tightly with the inner wall of the sealed air inlet cylinder and the spray plate, avoids tilting after the spray plate is installed, ensures the coaxiality of the spray plate and the tundish opening, prevents the molten steel from deviating from the spray plate when flowing out of the tundish opening, and reduces the risk of molten steel sticking to the spray plate and the channel being blocked.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0016] 1. This utility model constructs a sealed working environment by sealing the air inlet cylinder. Combined with the pores on the surface of the diverter ring, the externally input inert gas is evenly distributed within the sealed space, preventing the molten steel from contacting air before atomization and reducing oxygen content at the source. Simultaneously, the heat-insulating positioning cylinder and the internal insulation material reduce heat loss from the molten steel in the tundish, ensuring good fluidity at all times. Furthermore, the multiple positioning functions of the retaining ring, positioning ring, positioning frame, and the top groove of the heat-insulating positioning cylinder ensure precise placement of the tundish, keeping the tundish opening and the spray plate coaxially aligned. This effectively prevents molten steel from sticking to the spray plate and causing channel blockage, preventing abnormal production terminations and improving product quality stability.

[0017] 2. The heat insulation positioning cylinder, diverting ring, and retaining ring of this utility model are all designed in a split manner. The heat insulation positioning cylinder has fixing holes on both sides of the split parts. During assembly, they can be quickly spliced ​​and fixed by connecting parts. During disassembly, only the connecting parts need to be disassembled to separate the split parts. When it is necessary to replace the intermediate package or maintain the spray plate, positioning frame, and other components, there is no need to disassemble the entire device. The intermediate package or maintenance parts can be quickly removed, which greatly shortens the replacement and maintenance time. At the same time, each split part is precisely cut to ensure structural consistency. After assembly, the positioning accuracy can be quickly restored, ensuring that the device can be quickly put back into production, effectively improving production continuity and overall production efficiency.

The spray plate 4 is fixed to the inner wall of the positioning ring 3. Then, the two parts of the heat preservation positioning cylinder 5 are assembled through the fixing holes. Its top is fixed to the inner wall of the retaining ring 2, and the bottom surface is fixed to the diverting ring 6. The outer surface of the diverting ring 6 is fixed to the inner wall of the sealed air inlet cylinder 1.
