This invention relates to a filtering device, in particular to an improved metal melting filtering device. As is well known, when the molten metal, the molten metal, in particular the molten aluminum in practice usually will have the suspension entrained solid impurities, these solid to the final metal casting product is harmful. After the molten metal solidifies and these entrained solid as flavescens impurities in the product appear in the final casting, the final product is not enough or lustrousness very poor ductility and Anodization characteristic. These flavescens impurities could be one of a number of sources. For example, recycling after the molten metal can be broken is entrained from the surface oxide film. In addition flavescens impurities from some insoluble impurities may, as a carbide, boride and other substances from the corrosion of the refractory material of the furnace or to configurations.

[2]

The known porous to foam ceramic material particularly suitable for filtering the molten metal, such as by preil (Michael J.Pryor) and the American Patent No. 3 bagre (Thomas J.Gray) on 8 July 1975, 893,917 "molten metal filter", and by these two in the American Patent No. 3 30 March 1976, 947,363 "ceramic foam filter (James E.Dore) and (John C.Yarwood), dougherty 亚伍徳 ", by the American Patent No. 4 in preus (Roberr K.Preuss) 28 March 1978, 081,371 "molten metal filter" and by this three 17 May 1977 made in the American Patent No. 4, 024,056 "molten metal filter", as described in the.

[3]

These foam ceramic material due to various reasons particularly useful for filtering the molten metal, one of the reasons is that their high filtering efficiency, low cost, easy to use and the filter element can be replaced, used on the basis of the effect is not thrown away using variable. Preparing these foam ceramic filter is convenient, inexpensive, and can be used by the fact that a retractable, apart from the need to provide an efficient filtering components, also requires the development from the filter unit easy disassembly of the structure of the porous the melting of the metal filter.

[4]

Since the filter is designed to be used over-throw device, therefore, is to provide a key for effective structure of the filter is attached to the The easy disassembly in the support. The support saddle or the filter chamber itself generally 是槽 , castformed or an integral part of the central, molten metal by the resistance should be with the standard groove of the refractory material similar to the structure of the material. The general Adopt elastic sealing mechanism or sealing 垫类 along the periphery of the peripheral seal of the filter plate to seal it. In order to effectively through the filter plate to the position of the pumping, with the prior art, the filter plate is placed on the peripheral surface of the inclined sealing lined. The filter plate is applied to the vertical downward securely sealed in the filter chamber on the position of the filter plate, a filter chamber also has a corresponding inclined surface. Has been found, as the result of the force on the filter plate is attached to the filter procreant, may cause damage to the filter plate structure, which can lead to metal leakage or invalid metal filter. Natural also found difficult of the removed filter plate.

[5]

Also, the general use of the filtering component is usually the filter plate is horizontally placed in a filter chamber. This is the result of the metal bath is placed in a large amount of space. Therefore, the filter plate is vertically arranged, the filtering component of the undesirable, because the vertical arrangement of the space can be saved.

[6]

For example, American Patent No. 4, 092,153 is vertically arranged filter Board. However, the patent only on the peripheral surface of the filter plate inclined with the filter chamber similar to match with the inclined surface, so that the filter plate horizontally arranged in the same manner as the filter plate is inserted into the filter chamber. Although the us Patent No. 4, 092,153 patent effectively put forward filter plate vertically placed, however, has been found to be due to the fact the metal solidification and removed used filter-related issues, this has not been very satisfactory for the arrangement of the vertical placement.

[7]
