The invention discloses an aluminum
alloy melt rapid and uniform cooling device and method.The aluminum
alloy melt rapid and uniform cooling device comprises a box body, an upper cooling unit, a lower
refrigeration cycle unit and a
control unit, the upper cooling unit is provided with a plurality of independent controllable coolers, and each independent controllable cooler comprises a heat insulation protection sleeve, a spiral heat exchange
pipe, a heat conduction sleeve and a
crucible from outside to inside; a
thermocouple arranged in a
quartz tube at the bottom of the
crucible extends to the geometric center of the melt for real-time
temperature measurement, the lower part adopts a high-temperature and low-temperature
cascade loop for cooling, a safety
branch is connected in parallel to maintain low-load operation of the compressor, and a
control unit dynamically regulates and controls an
electromagnetic valve, the compressor and an expansion valve through a PLC based on
temperature measurement data. According to the cooling method, precise
temperature control is achieved through
system self-inspection, graded starting, temperature threshold value switching and safe shutdown, the multiple melts can be synchronously, rapidly and evenly cooled, the
internal temperature difference is reduced, component segregation and structure non-uniformity are restrained, sampling consistency is guaranteed, and reliable support is provided for aluminum
alloy melt quality evaluation.
