Aluminum-based material melting apparatus

摘要

An aluminum-based material melting apparatus includes: a furnace; a melt-discharging conduit having an inner portion disposed in the furnace; a driving mechanism mounted on the furnace; a transmission mechanism connected to the driving mechanism; and a scoop member suspended in the furnace and driven by the driving mechanism through the transmission mechanism so as to be movable in the furnace between upper and lower positions and so as to be rotatable relative to the furnace about an axis between scooping and pouring positions.

1. An aluminum-based material melting apparatus comprising:
a furnace defining a furnace space and adapted to accommodate an aluminum-based melt in said furnace space; a melt-discharging conduit having an inner portion disposed in said furnace space, and an outer portion disposed outwardly of said furnace space, said inner portion being adapted to be disposed above a surface of the aluminum-based melt in said furnace space; a driving mechanism mounted on said furnace and including a plurality of driving motor; a transmission mechanism connected to said driving mechanism and including a plurality of movable shafts; a scoop member suspended in said furnace space and driven by said driving mechanism through said transmission mechanism so as to be movable upwardly and downwardly in said furnace space between upper and lower positions and so as to be rotatable relative to said furnace about a first axis between scooping and pouring positions so that said scoop member can scoop the aluminum-based melt when disposed at the lower position and the scooping position and that said scoop member can pour the aluminum-based melt into said inner portion of said melt-discharging conduit when disposed at the upper position and the pouring position; a preheating funnel disposed above said furnace and defining a funnel space that is adapted to receive an aluminum-based raw material therein; an inlet conduit interconnecting said preheating funnel and said furnace and defining a central space that is in fluid communication with said funnel space and said furnace space; and a horizontal conveying shaft extending transversely through said inlet conduit, rotatable about its axis relative to said inlet conduit and formed with at least one blade that protrudes therefrom into said central space for conveying the aluminum-based raw material from said central space into said furnace space when said conveying shaft rotates about its axis.
