  • Publication number: 20220241855
    Abstract: An atomization powder making device suitable for atomizing molten metal to produce powder includes a housing defining an atomizing chamber, a vessel mounted inside the housing and defining a receiving space for receiving the molten metal, and a flow guide unit extending from the bottom of the vessel and having at least one liquid flow channel for conveying the molten metal from the receiving space to the atomizing chamber. A push unit is disposed in the receiving space for pushing the molten metal to flow through the at least one liquid flow channel. A gas supply unit is configured to supply an atomizing gas for atomizing the molten metal flowing out of the liquid flow channel.

  • Patent number: 11213884
    Abstract: A vacuum valve includes first and second blocks. The first block includes a base portion and a frustoconical guiding portion connected to the base portion and tapering away from the base portion to form a shoulder, and defines a discharging channel extending in the base portion and through the guiding portion, in spatial communication with ambient surroundings, and adapted to permit air to flow therethrough and into the ambient surroundings. The second block has an end surface cooperating with the shoulder to define an opening communicated spatially with the ambient surroundings, and an inner surface connected to the end surface and cooperating with the frustoconical guiding portion to define a spiral fluid channel therebetween. The spiral fluid channel is in spatial communication with the discharging channel and the opening, and is for introducing air into the discharging channel via the opening.
