Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an AC type electric furnace tank has three vertical 3 points along the center line of a cylindrical tank having a circular bottom surface and at the periphery thereof, at the apex of a virtual equilateral triangle Δ on a horizontal plane facing the bottom surface. Two electrode cylinders are provided in parallel, and a Δ-shaped electrode is formed by these three AC electrode cylinders. In an AC electric furnace, a metal material to be melted is put in a tank, and a multiphase AC voltage is applied to the three electrodes formed in a triangle shape by the above three AC electrode columns. A three-phase AC voltage is applied between the electrode columns, and an AC current corresponding to the three-phase AC voltage flows. The metallic material melts due to resistive heat generation when an alternating current flows. In such an AC electric furnace,
Since the electric current flows in the tank through the part with low electrical resistance,
In the electric furnace tank, the current flow is poor at the bottom circumference. In the AC electric furnace, since the Δ-shaped electrode is formed by the three electrode cylinders, the electric current flows in a wider area in the tank than in the DC electric furnace. However, since the electric current does not flow well in the circumferential portion at the bottom of the electric furnace tank, there is a temperature difference between the molten metal and the inside of the tank.

金属の温度差が存在する。On the other hand, in order to improve the flow of molten metal in the circumferential portion at the bottom of the electric furnace tank, an electromagnetic stirrer is mounted from the outside on the bottom surface of the electric furnace tank. It is known that this electromagnetic stirrer has a linear shape forming a linear motor or a circular shape forming an induction motor. However, since a uniform magnetic field flow is formed in a certain direction, the molten metal flow is not sufficient. Therefore, there is still a difference in temperature of the molten metal between the inside of the tank and the inside.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an AC electric furnace capable of solving the above problems by sufficiently stirring molten metal and exhibiting high productivity.

互に溶融金属攪拌装置の各電極へ印加される。A molten metal agitating device 4 formed of a linear (or circular) multiphase electrode array is provided below the outside of the AC electric furnace 1. When a three-phase AC voltage is applied to the molten metal stirrer 4 mounted immediately below the outside of the AC electric furnace 1, the generated magnetic field proceeds in a direction determined according to the phase of the AC voltage. Therefore, the molten metal material is pulled in synchronization with the progress of the magnetic field and proceeds in the traveling direction of the magnetic field. This gives a stirring force to the molten metal. Due to the stirring force applied to the molten metal by the flow of the molten metal in the traveling direction of the magnetic field, the molten metal staying at the bottom of the tank flows, but it cannot be said that sufficient stirring force is applied. FIG. 2 is a development view showing a multiphase electrode obtained by cutting the structure of the molten metal agitator 4 of FIG. 1 at AA ′. In FIG. 2, 7 is a switching means for switching between a normal rotation state and a reverse rotation state, and 8 is an inverter. These elements are included in the power supply means 10 of FIG. In the normal rotation state, a three-phase AC voltage is applied to the three-phase electrodes in the order of UVW. Therefore, the molten metal is driven to the right in the forward rotation state. Next, when a three-phase AC voltage is applied in the reverse direction, the molten metal is driven leftward. In the reverse rotation state, the V phase and the W phase are connected in reverse in FIG. 1, and the AC voltage is applied in the order of UWV. In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3A, a three-phase AC voltage is alternately applied to the electrodes of the molten metal agitator in the forward rotation state and the reverse rotation state.

決定手段9を使って選択的に決定することができる。The normal rotation state and the reverse rotation state are switched at an equal time period determined by a program or the like, or at a forward rotation / reverse rotation time ratio period previously determined by a program or the like. For example, the switching time constant is 10 to 100 seconds, and can be set arbitrarily for forward rotation and reverse rotation. The program and the like are used in a computer and the like, and the program and the like, the computer and the like, the control device and the like constitute the timing determining means 9. The switching is performed by a power supply means 10 having a built-in switching means 7 such as a mechanical power switch or a semiconductor power switch. FIG. 3B is a system diagram showing the timing determining means 9 for performing the above control together with the power supply means 10. By repeating the normal rotation state and the reverse rotation state in this way, the molten metal is alternately driven in the right direction and the left direction, and when the normal rotation state and the reverse rotation state are switched, a disturbance occurs in the molten metal transiently. Stirring proceeds. Each holding time and cycle of the normal rotation state and the reverse rotation state can be selectively determined by using the timing determining means 9 depending on the state of the metal material put in each electric furnace.
