Definitions

  • the invention relates to an induction furnace with a furnace base containing a crucible, an induction coil and a gas-tight jacket, furthermore with a cover which can be placed on the furnace base and which has at least one gas connection, a charging valve and a pouring device, the furnace base and cover being detachable but gas-tight via a flange connection connected to each other and in the connected state by means of an articulated bearing and a drive tiltable about a tilt axis in a furnace frame.
  • Such gas-tight induction furnaces which can be operated both under protective gas and under vacuum, such materials are regularly melted and kept ready for casting which are subject to oxidation and / or gas absorption when they are melted in the atmosphere.
  • Such furnaces are preferably used for melting metals which are highly reactive at the melting temperature.
  • Such induction furnaces require a whole series of additional devices, which are usually attached to the lid or can be connected to the lid, such as charging devices, purification devices, measuring and observation devices, pouring devices etc. Also the gas connections required for the introduction of a protective gas or the evacuation by vacuum pumps are usually attached to the lid.
  • the articulated bearing for the tilting movement is located on the lower part of the furnace, and the tilt drive also acts on the lower part of the furnace.
  • the lower part of the furnace has a support frame which is mounted in a furnace frame by means of pivot pins.
  • the crucible used in induction furnaces which is made of a ceramic material in a conventional manner and is often also referred to as "lining", is subject to more or less severe wear, namely due to thermal and mechanical stress.
  • the mechanical stresses also include the regular movement of the melt by inductive bath stirring, which is used both to form alloys and to intensify gas exchange. In many cases, after melting several batches, it is necessary to check the lower part of the furnace including the induction coil and, if necessary, to replace the crucible or the lining.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying an induction furnace of the type described at the outset, in which the inspection and repair work on the lower part of the furnace can be carried out much more easily and in which the furnace cover with its complex fittings and attachments also continues during the inspection and repair work is usable.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that the articulated bearing is attached to the cover, that the tilt drive engages the cover and that the lower furnace part can be removed from the cover compared to the cover remaining in the furnace frame after loosening the flange connection.
  • the lid basically has the function of a reference platform, which remains permanently in the furnace frame via the specified articulated bearing, and all additional devices such as gas connections, charging valve, pouring device, measuring and observation devices can also remain on the lid.
  • the gas connections include in vacuum induction furnaces also the suction lines, which have a considerable cross section and are connected to the vacuum pumps by means of rotary joints.
  • the cover is provided in the region of the tilt axis with a pouring tube which is essentially tangential to the cover wall, is connected gas-tight to the cover and is open to the interior of the cover and if the crucible has a pouring spout which projects into the pouring tube and ends in the tilting axis.
  • the pouring tube in which there is usually a ceramic pouring trough, leads - preferably via a gas-tight rotating coupling - to a distributor tube, via which the melt can be fed to different pouring stations. Since the pouring tube is located in the area of the articulated bearing connected to the cover, the connection between the pouring tube and the distributor tube also remains in place when the lower part of the furnace is removed, so that no dismantling work is required at this point either.
  • the lid is provided with a gas-tight extension on the side diametrically opposite the pouring tube, in which there is a slag collecting container, and if the crucible on the side diametrically opposite the pouring spout a pouring lip is provided, via which the slag can be transferred into the slag collecting container at an inclination of the crucible opposite to the pouring position.
  • This device which can be simply referred to as a "detoxification device", remains permanently connected to the furnace lid and also to the furnace frame via the rotary bearing according to the invention and is still ready for use in connection with a new furnace base.
  • the cover is provided with a gas connection for a protective gas, if this gas connection also opens into the flange of the cover and communicates at the opening point with a gas line located in the flange of the lower part of the furnace, which in a between the jacket and the crucible located cavity opens in which the induction coil is located.
  • the incoming main gas stream is divided into a gas stream for purging the melting chamber and a secondary gas stream for purging the cavity in which the induction coil is located.
  • the one in the suction line, i.e. The fan arranged at the outlet of the secondary gas flow now generates a pressure difference between the melting chamber and the cavity mentioned. Due to the low absolute pressure in the cavity, the water desorbed from the crucible material is removed in the bypass gas stream, and the entry of water into the melt gas atmosphere is effectively prevented.
  • the supply line and the discharge line for the bypass flow of the protective gas are located in the cover, so that the connection to a gas processing system for drying and cleaning the protective gas can remain.
  • the necessary connection to the lower part of the furnace is made automatically by attaching it to the lid, without the need for additional connections.
  • the tilt drive consists of at least one first pressure medium cylinder, which is connected at its upper end to the frame structure of the cover via a first joint and at its lower end End is mounted on a rocker arm via a second joint, the opposite end of which is mounted on the furnace frame via a third joint, the first, second and third joint lying on the corners of a triangle and all joint axes running parallel to the tilt axis.
  • the rocker can also be moved from at least one second pressure medium cylinder from a first swivel range, which is decisive for casting, to a second swivel range, which is decisive for detoxification
  • the interaction of the first pressure medium cylinder with the second pressure medium cylinder via the rocker allows the induction furnace to tilt from the horizontal
  • the position of the flange connection in one direction of rotation (e.g. for detoxification) and in the opposite direction of rotation (e.g. for pouring) enable without the need for bulky drive elements that would require a pit in the area of the furnace frame.
  • a furnace frame 1 which has a base frame 2 and two vertical supports 3, at the upper ends of which a joint bearing 4 is arranged.
  • This articulated bearing conventionally consists of a bearing housing and a bearing journal and is arranged twice in succession in the direction of view.
  • the other part of the articulated bearing 4 is attached to a cover 6 of an induction furnace 7, which also includes a lower furnace part 8, via a bracket 5.
  • Cover 6 and lower furnace part 8 are connected to one another in a gas-tight manner via a flange connection 9.
  • a pouring device 10 On the cover 6, a pouring device 10, a gas connection 11 and a charging valve 12 are also arranged, which in addition to the articulated bearing 4 belong to the essential components of the cover.
  • the joint bearing 4 defines a tilt axis A, which is perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.
  • An essential part of the pouring device 10 is a pouring tube 13, which extends tangentially to the cover wall in the region of the tilt axis A, is connected gas-tight to the cover 6 and is open to the interior of the cover.
  • the pouring tube 13 is closed on its end facing the viewer and can be closed on the opposite side by a slide valve 14 (see also FIG. 8).
  • the cover 6 On the side diametrically opposite the pouring tube 13, the cover 6 is provided with a gas-tight extension 15, in which there is a slag collecting container 16 (FIG. 2).
  • the extension 15 is connected via a discharge valve 17 to a removal chamber 18 into which the slag collecting container 16 can be inserted (FIG. 8).
  • a work platform 19 is fastened to the cover 6 via a joint 20, the work platform 19 being supported on a boom 22 by means of a drive 21, which is also fastened to the cover 6.
  • the function of the drive 21 will be discussed in more detail in connection with FIG. 5.
  • the charging valve 12 is arranged on the top of the cover 6 and has a horizontal connecting flange 23 (FIG. 7) for connection to a Charging container 24 movable above the furnace.
  • This charging container which can likewise be evacuated via a suction line 25, rests on a carriage 26, which in turn can be moved parallel to the plane of the drawing on rails 27 which extend across the induction furnace 7 and to one (not shown) lead station in which the charging container 9 can be loaded.
  • the charging container carries in its interior (not shown) a charging basket with a closable bottom opening which can be lowered into the induction furnace 7 through the charging valve 12 through the charging valve 12.
  • a tilting drive 28 is provided, to which a first pressure medium cylinder 29 belongs, the upper end of which engages on the cover 6, which for this purpose is surrounded by a frame structure 31 in the region of its flange 30 (FIG. 3) on which the tilt drive 28 engages by means of a first joint 32 (FIG. 6).
  • the lower end of the pressure medium cylinder 29 is fastened to a rocker 34 via a second joint 33, the opposite end of which is fastened to the furnace frame 1 via a third joint 35.
  • All joint axes run parallel to the tilt axis A and lie towards the corners of a triangle, so that by changing the Length of one side of this triangle, that is to say: the induction furnace 7 can be tilted by extending the piston rod 36 out of the pressure medium cylinder 29 (FIG. 6).
  • the rocker 34 is held in its position shown by the piston rod 37 of a second pressure medium cylinder 38 which is mounted on a fourth joint 39.
  • the joints 33, 35 and 39 lie on the corners of a triangle, so that by changing the length of one side of this triangle, that is: by moving the piston rod 37 into the pressure medium cylinder 38, a pivoting movement of the induction furnace 7 can be brought about, namely in the opposite direction Direction according to FIG. 5.
  • the pressure medium cylinder 38 advantageously engages the rocker in the area of the joint 33; however, it is possible to provide an additional joint for this.
  • the charging container 24 is supported on the carriage 26 by means of four lifting cylinders 40, so that the lower flange 41 of the charging container 24 can be lifted off the connecting flange 23 before a transverse movement of the charging container takes place.
  • a geared motor 42 is used to drive the carriage 26.
  • the internal structure of the induction furnace 7 is additionally shown in FIGS.
  • the lower furnace part 8 contains a gas-tight jacket 43, in which a crucible 44 made of ceramic material is arranged at a radial distance. Between the jacket 43 and the crucible 44 there is a cavity 45 in which an induction coil 46 is accommodated.
  • the jacket 43 is surrounded slightly below its upper edge by a frame structure 47 which is closed on the top by a flange 48 which can be assembled with the flange 30 of the cover to form the gas-tight flange connection 9. It can be seen from FIG. 2 that the crucible 44 and the induction coil 46 protrude to a certain extent into the cover 6.
  • the crucible 44 On one side, the crucible 44 has a pouring spout 49 which projects into the pouring tube 13 and ends in the tilting axis A. Below the end of the pouring spout 49 there is also a ceramic channel 50, which will be discussed in more detail in connection with FIG. 8. It is evident from FIGS. 2 and 3 that the end of the pouring spout 49 lies in the tilting axis A in every position of the crucible 44.
  • the crucible 44 On the diametrically opposite side of the pouring spout 49, the crucible 44 is provided with a pouring lip 51, via which the slag can be transferred into the slag collecting container 16 at an inclination of the crucible opposite to the pouring position according to FIG is.
