Background technology
Industrial, for example in the melting of metal or metal alloy and the casting forming technology, all need to adopt the high-temperature electric heat stove.
For example, magnesium-alloy material is good because of its light weight, specific strength and specific stiffness height, heat-conductivity conducting, damping shock absorption and capability of electromagnetic shielding is good, characteristics such as recovery easily, obtains increasingly extensive application at automobile and 3C electronic applications.The casting forming technology of magnesium-alloy material has characteristics such as production efficiency height, accessory size is accurate, surface quality is good, become the main forming technology of magnesium-alloy material, and this casting forming technology must be used the electrothermal furnace that is used for the smelting metal alloy.
Existing electrothermal furnace generally adopts structure as shown in Figure 1, with a plurality of heating wire 4 that are fixed on shell 3 inner thermal insulating layers 2 inwalls, the both sides of the crucible 5 in the middle of being positioned at is heated.The electrothermal furnace of this structure all is fixed on the inwall owing to heating wire 4, need shut down and take out earlier devices such as cover plate 1, crucible 5, the cost height that workload is big, the time is long, shutdown is spent when maintenance and detection.
And in magnesium alloy pressure-casting technology, the electrothermal furnace operating temperature requires to be controlled at 625 ± 5 ℃ of scopes, and it is the key factor that guarantees the die-cast product quality that smelting temperature is accurately controlled.For reducing electrothermal furnace because of replenishing the temperature fluctuation that magnesium ingot causes, the volume of crucible is generally bigger, and electrothermal furnace needs bigger heating power like this, so generally select diameter thicker big resistance heating wire or electrothermal tube for use.During the work of existing electrothermal furnace, in order to reach accuracy control over temperature, when the electrothermal furnace operating temperature is more than 300 ℃ the time, the every raising of temperature or reduce by 50 ℃ all will be incubated 1 hour to reduce the internal-external temperature difference of crucible.For this reason, heating wire or electrothermal tube are in frequent starting and the duty that stops.But heating wire or electrothermal tube not only damage easily like this, so and a certain heating wire or electrothermal tube damage because each resistance is all big, the temperature of its near zone will sharply descend, the area of heating surface of crucible will form the thermograde of " high temperature-low temperature-high temperature " like this, thereby cause the crucible distortion, have a strong impact on crucible life.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to be inconvenient to the shortcoming keeping in repair and detect, the electrothermal furnace of a kind of convenient for maintaining and detection is provided in order to solve existing electrothermal furnace.Another object of the present invention provides the application of described electrothermal furnace in magnesium alloy smelting.
Electrothermal furnace provided by the invention comprises cover plate, shell, heat-insulation layer, heating wire and crucible, heat-insulation layer is fixed in the inwall of shell, crucible is fixed in the shell, wherein, also comprise the pull frame, described pull chord position also can be extracted out from described electrothermal furnace between crucible and heat-insulation layer, and described heating wire is fixed in this pull frame.
Electrothermal furnace provided by the present invention is owing to be fixed on heating wire on the pull frame, be inserted into the pull frame in the shell of electrothermal furnace together with heating wire integral body during installation, when needing repairing or detect heating wire, only need so described pull frame is extracted out together with heating wire is whole, convenient and swift, and cost is lower.
The specific embodiment
As shown in Figure 2, electrothermal furnace provided by the invention comprises cover plate 1, shell 3, heat-insulation layer 2, heating wire 4 and crucible 5, heat-insulation layer 2 is fixed in the inwall of shell 3, crucible 5 is fixed in the shell 3, wherein, also comprise pull frame 6, described pull frame 6 also can be extracted out from described electrothermal furnace between crucible 5 and heat-insulation layer 2, and described heating wire 4 is fixed in this pull frame 6.
Described pull frame 6 can be positioned at the position of described crucible needs heating on every side for a plurality of.
The material of described pull frame 6 can be the known various exotic materials of those skilled in the art, as metal, refractory brick (watt) etc.
The material of described heat-insulation layer 2 has no particular limits, and can adopt insulation material well known in the art such as asbestos, mineral wool, mullite brick, Poly Light High Aluminum Firebrick etc.
As shown in Figure 3, the end of described pull frame 6 preferably also has heat-insulation layer 11, and the material of described heat-insulation layer 11 has no particular limits, and can adopt insulation material well known in the art such as asbestos, mineral wool, mullite brick, Poly Light High Aluminum Firebrick etc.
In order to guarantee the electrothermal furnace sealing when inserting electrothermal furnace, to reach the effective purpose of heating, described pull frame 6 also can have end cap 7, and this end cap 7 is fixedly connected on pull frame 6 outer ends, with the slit between sealing pull frame 6 and the shell 3.
Under the preferable case, can also have handle 8 on the described end cap 7, be fixedly connected on the end cap 7, can make things convenient for pull pull frame 6 like this.
Fixedly connected, handle 8 between described end cap 7 and the pull frame 6 can be selected various connected modes such as the known welding of those skilled in the art, riveted joint, bolt are connected for use with the fixedly connected of pull frame 6 or end cap 7.
Described heating wire 4 can be selected the known heating wire that can be used to heat of those skilled in the art for use, and its Standard resistance range can determine that the present invention has no particular limits it according to the needs that use.Preferably; the resistance of this heating wire 4 is unsuitable excessive; near its regional temperature is not affected substantially in the time of can not working when a certain heating wire 4 damages like this; thereby the even heating and the efficiency of heating surface on crucible 5 surfaces have been guaranteed; avoid owing to the crucible 5 that heating wire 4 damages, regional temperature sharply descends the to be caused inequality of being heated is out of shape; prolong the service life of crucible 5, also avoided the time of adopting the stringent effort shutdown maintenance to incur loss through delay simultaneously.
Described heating wire 4 is fixed on the pull frame 6, can adopt the known fixed form of those skilled in the art.
Described heating wire 4 is preferably many and adopt the branch set of connections, and the break-make of power supply that like this can be by controlling every group of heating wire 4 is controlled the heating of electrothermal furnace, insulation, cooling etc., to guarantee suitable temperature.
Under the preferable case, heating wire 4 is selected electrothermal tube for use, and the material of described electrothermal tube and structure are that those skilled in the art are known, and be for example shown in Figure 4, described electrothermal tube comprises heating wire 4 and is enclosed within the pipe 10 of heating wire 4 outsides, and heating wire 4 and manage 10 between have electric insulation filler 9.So both guarantee operating efficiency, and made heating wire 4 have very long service life again.
