the multi-directional gas inlet can quickly flow all the molten metal in the whole range, stir, mix the molten metal in an upper layer and a lower layer and mix the molten metal in a horizontal direction. The electromagnetic stirring is difficult to achieve fully. Compared with an electromagnetic stirring and air intake mode, the efficiency is higher, and the components are more uniform.
And blowing away the metal liquid by utilizing high-speed airflow to form metal powder. If the gas atomization device is used, the structure is complicated, the maintenance cost is very high, and the cost is too high for the production of raw materials. Therefore, after the equipment is simplified and the single-point purging is carried out, the obtained metal powder is easy to have large particles. Or the unidirectional metal powder is secondarily fused and agglomerated to form large particles. Therefore, the inert gas and the molten metal are moved and mixed together to enter a vacuum environment, so that the gas is exploded rapidly, and the explosion direction is basically omnidirectional, thereby being beneficial to forming metal powder with uniform particles and being not easy to generate the condition of secondary fusion and agglomeration.
More importantly, in this way, the use of high-pressure gas flow is not required, and the requirements on the equipment for collecting the metal powder are low. If use high-pressure air current, the equipment of collecting the metal powder volume on the one hand will be very big, will be able to cushion the air current, on the other hand will have fine gas-solid separation ability, just can effectual collection metal powder, otherwise the air current will take away the metal powder, causes the loss of material. By using the mode of gas explosion, the volume of the collecting tank can be very small, the structure is not strictly required, and the requirement on the gas-solid separation capacity is not high. Thus, the overall production cost is greatly reduced. The difficulty of the production process is reduced, and the product quality is more favorably controlled.
Example two

An electromagnetic induction heating device 50 is arranged at the periphery of the guide pipe 40, so that the temperature of the molten metal in the guide pipe is 10-20 ℃ higher than the melting point.
The flow guide pipe is ensured to be always smooth.
EXAMPLE III
Since the collection vessel is exposed to the high-temperature metal powder, it is necessary to maintain the temperature of the inner wall of the collection vessel at a low temperature in order to prevent the metal powder from accumulating together and agglomerating at a high temperature.
Therefore, the collecting tank is a copper tank and has a double-layer structure, and the tank body is cooled in a circulating mode in a cavity of the double-layer structure.
Example four
The middle part of the honeycomb duct 40 is a straight pipe part, and the inner diameter of the straight pipe part is 2-5 times of the outer diameter of the inflation pipe. So that a liquid drop with an air bag inside or a cylindrical molten tube with gas inside is formed at the bottom of the draft tube 40.
Example 5
Because the collecting tank is under negative pressure, the cavity in the crucible is also under negative pressure in order to control the flow rate, so as to adjust the flow rate of the melt. This is difficult to control.
Therefore, the flow guide pipe 40 is designed as a bent pipe, the liquid outlet of the bent pipe is inclined upwards, and the included angle between the opening direction and the horizontal is 45-80 degrees;
at the moment, the air inflow of the air charging pipe is 1/8-1/3 of the liquid outflow amount when no air is fed from the bottom end of the air inlet pipe in the single air inlet interval time, and the air flow rate is 50-150 m/s.
Therefore, the liquid flow rate is more convenient to control, the vacuum degree in the crucible can be smaller, and the production cost is lower.
Example 6
Through tests, the air inlet speed and the air inlet amount can be controlled more easily when the diameter of the air inlet of the inflation tube is 0.6-1.5 mm.
EXAMPLE seven

The basic idea or principle is a regular and stable exchange of substances across layers and regions. Namely, the air inlet angle is from bottom to top, and a plurality of air inlets are arranged on the same circumference, so that the air inlets can cross layers up and down and can move in the whole range on a horizontal area.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
