The invention relates to the technical field of aluminum and aluminum
alloy casting, in particular to a preheating and heat preservation device for an aluminum
casting distribution chute. Comprising a pit, a heat preservation box body, a heat preservation box cover, a heating piece connected with the heat preservation box cover, an overturning
assembly arranged beside the heat preservation box body, a supporting frame used for supporting a chute and a temperature sensor used for detecting the temperature in the heat preservation box body, the supporting frame is arranged in the heat preservation box body, and the overturning
assembly is connected with the heat preservation box cover and drives the heat preservation box cover to be overturned, opened and closed. The working end of the heating piece is located on the bottom face of the heat preservation box cover and located above the supporting frame, and the temperature sensor is arranged on the heat preservation box cover. The invention further provides aluminum
casting equipment. The heat preservation box body is arranged in the pit, the heat preservation effect is improved, the turnover
assembly is used for driving the heat preservation box cover to be turned over and opened, then the aluminum liquid chute can be lifted by a crane to be transferred, arrangement of a skip car is omitted, the arrangement cost is saved, the transferring step is simplified, the transferring efficiency of the aluminum liquid chute is improved, and the production efficiency is improved.
