Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of metal casting technology, and in particular to a rotary suspension clamp body aluminum molten casting device and casting process. Background Technology
[0002] For example, patent CN120421490B, entitled "A Dual-Action Serial Circulation High-Purity Aluminum Melt Low-Pressure Casting Device and Preparation Method," describes a method for purifying and refining aluminum alloy melt within a gas-fired furnace, and for casting complex metal products in a low-pressure casting furnace. This invention eliminates the need for mechanical transfer between the gas-fired furnace and the low-pressure casting furnace. Dynamic replenishment of the aluminum alloy melt from the gas-fired furnace to the low-pressure casting furnace is achieved through melt level monitoring and the opening and closing of an automatic tilting device and dual-furnace stop plugs. This dynamic replenishment results in minimal surface fluctuations of the aluminum alloy melt within the low-pressure casting furnace, preventing significant turbulence, gas entrapment, and slag inclusions. Furthermore, the replenished aluminum alloy melt exhibits high quality and low oxide inclusion content, significantly improving the metallurgical quality of the melt.
[0003] In the low-pressure casting process of aluminum alloys, molten metal often faces the problems of high slag content and insufficient purity. Moreover, during the transportation and filling process, molten metal is prone to air entrapment and flow turbulence, resulting in defects such as porosity in the castings. In addition, for castings with thick walls or complex structures, such as rotary suspension clamps, shrinkage porosity and shrinkage cavities are prone to occur during solidification, resulting in low product density and difficulty in meeting high-standard usage requirements. Therefore, this application provides a rotary suspension clamp body aluminum molten metal casting device and casting process to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a rotary suspension clamp body aluminum molten casting device and casting process, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a rotary suspension clamp body aluminum molten casting device, comprising:
[0006] A molten metal insulation device, wherein the molten metal insulation device has an internal core cavity shell for filling with inert gas to keep the molten metal warm;

[0016] The outer wall of the mounting column is provided with multiple inclined blades. The inclined blades are configured to guide the molten metal to generate an upward axial flow when rotating with the central rod. The spiral blades of the spiral guide extend inclinedly toward the axis of the mounting column to generate a centripetal thrust during rotation, thereby guiding the molten metal to converge toward the central axis.
[0017] The processing component includes a solution vessel, which carries a metal solution and is embedded inside a limiting groove. An inlet pipe extends from the upper part of the inner cavity of the solution vessel and is connected to an external control connector. An outlet pipe is provided on the inner wall of the solution vessel, which guides the metal solution to be discharged according to the internal air pressure of the solution vessel.
[0018] The inlet end of the outlet pipe is located below the spiral guide, and the outlet end of the outlet pipe is higher than the top seal plate and communicates with the solution conduit.
[0019] The low-pressure casting mechanism includes an airflow chamber and a solution chamber. The airflow chamber is fixed to the inner wall of the molten metal insulation device. The solution chamber is located at the lower end of the airflow chamber. One end of the solution conduit extends into the solution chamber. The airflow chamber and the solution chamber are separated by a partition. An airflow conduit connects the airflow chamber to an external inert gas pipe.
[0020] The guiding component includes a main flow tube and an inner tube. The main flow tube passes through the airflow chamber and communicates with the external mold. The inner tube is sleeved at the bottom of the main flow tube. An airflow shroud is sleeved around the outer periphery of the inner tube. A spacer tube extending into the inner tube is provided on the inner wall of the airflow shroud. A liquid suction tube extending into the main flow tube is provided on the inner wall of the spacer tube. The liquid suction tube is used to guide the molten metal into the main flow tube.
[0021] The upper end of the airflow shroud is provided with a ring cover, and the inside of the ring cover is provided with a second ceramic foam ring. The second ceramic foam ring is configured to prevent molten metal from entering the inside of the ring cover through the airflow shroud.
[0022] The ring cover is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the inner tube, and the outer side of the ring cover is connected to a first air guide tube, which is connected to an external high-pressure inert gas tube.
[0023] A first gap is defined between the spacer tube and the inner tube, and the first gap is configured to guide the inert gas inside the airflow cover into the cavity between the spacer tube and the suction tube.

[0025] The bottom of the spacer tube and the airflow cover are respectively provided with a drain hole and a leak hole. The bottom of the inner cavity of the airflow cover is provided with a first ceramic foam ring, which is used to reduce the leakage rate of gas inside the airflow cover cavity.
[0026] The present invention also provides a process for casting molten aluminum into a rotary suspension clamp body, the process comprising the following steps:
[0027] S1. Metal liquid pretreatment: The metal liquid is fed into the processing component through an external control nozzle. The solution processing component is started to rotate. The impurity removal component adsorbs impurities on the surface of the metal liquid. The laminar flow component guides the metal liquid to flow upward. At the same time, the stirring component agitates the metal liquid.
[0028] S2. First-stage pressurized conveying: After the solution pretreatment is completed, the pressure control component works with the processing component to form a sealed cavity and inject inert gas into it. As the pressure increases, the molten metal is guided into the solution conduit.
[0029] S3. Low-pressure casting: The molten metal is introduced into the shell sealing assembly through the solution conduit. When casting is required, gas is filled into the shell sealing assembly to increase its pressure. The molten metal is introduced into the mold through the guide assembly. When the pressure of the shell sealing assembly is stable, the guide assembly applies a pressure higher than the pressure inside the shell sealing assembly. The molten metal is filled into the gap of the module by the pressure impact.
[0030] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:
[0031] 1. This invention achieves efficient pretreatment of molten metal by setting a rotating central rod and its auxiliary components inside the solution vessel. Before conveying, the coordinated rotation of the corrugated screen and the ceramic foam stack can effectively adsorb and filter the oxide slag on the surface of the molten aluminum, ensuring the purity of the molten metal from the source. At the same time, the turbulence generated by the stirring plate breaks the static state of the molten metal, promoting the floating and separation of internal inclusions. Subsequently, the inclined blades and spiral guides at the bottom gather the molten metal upward and towards the center, forming a stable, air-free laminar flow state, reducing the gas content in the molten metal, and also preventing the re-entry of gas during the conveying process.
[0032] 2. In the casting stage, the invention generates a first-level pressure through the outer shell sealing component to ensure the smooth filling of the mold with molten metal, avoiding splashing and oxidation caused by turbulence. In the pressurization and feeding stage, the guiding component applies a secondary gas pressure impact higher than that inside the outer shell sealing component. This high-pressure gas acts precisely on the solidifying molten metal through a complex gap structure. The secondary pressurization mechanism can effectively eliminate micro-pores inside the casting and force the molten metal to fully fill the fine gaps in the mold, thereby solving common shrinkage and porosity defects in casting and ensuring the integrity and mechanical strength of the suspension clamp body structure.

Detailed Implementation
[0061] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0062] Example 1, Reference Figures 1 to 26 The rotary suspension clamp body aluminum molten casting device and casting process shown include a molten metal heat preservation device 1, a solution pretreatment mechanism 3, and a low-pressure casting mechanism 2.
[0063] The molten metal insulation device 1 serves as the core of the entire system for smelting and storage, and it contains an inner core shell 5. This inner core shell 5 is made of high-temperature resistant ceramic material, and its internal space is used to fill inert gases such as argon or nitrogen, thereby forming a gas phase insulation layer during the storage of molten metal, effectively reducing heat loss and preventing the aluminum liquid from oxidizing.
[0064] The solution pretreatment mechanism 3 is located above or to the side of the molten metal insulation device 1, and is used to degas, remove slag, and adjust the flow state of the molten metal. The low-pressure casting mechanism 2 is located at the bottom of the device and is connected to the solution pretreatment mechanism 3 through the solution conduit 4, and is used to inject the treated clean molten metal into the mold.
[0065] The molten metal is fed into the solution vessel 331 through the inlet pipe 332. The central rod 321 is started to rotate, and the corrugated screen 322 and the ceramic foam stack 325 follow the rotation, adsorbing and filtering the oxide slag on the surface. The stirring plate 323 generates turbulence to promote the floating of inclusions. Then, the inclined blade 329 at the bottom and the spiral guide 324 gather the molten metal upward and towards the center to form a clean, air-free laminar flow.
[0066] After pretreatment, the pressure control component 31 injects inert gas into the top of the solution vessel 331 through the second gas guide pipe 313. As the pressure inside the vessel increases, it overcomes gravity and forces the clean molten metal through the outlet pipe 333 into the solution conduit 4, and finally into the solution chamber 223 of the low-pressure casting mechanism for temporary storage.
[0067] When casting is required, the airflow chamber 221 of the outer casing sealing assembly 22 is inflated, generating a first-stage pressure that pushes the molten metal upward along the main flow pipe 211, allowing it to smoothly enter the mold cavity. When the internal air pressure of the outer casing sealing assembly 22 reaches a preset value and stabilizes, the guide assembly 21 applies a higher air pressure than that inside the outer casing sealing assembly through the first air guide pipe 212. This high-pressure gas enters the main flow pipe 211 through a complex gap structure, applying a secondary air pressure impact to the solidifying molten metal. This not only eliminates porosity inside the casting but also forces the molten metal to fill the fine gaps in the mold, ensuring high density and surface quality of the suspension clamp body.
[0068] Example 2: This example focuses on the specific structure of the solution pretreatment mechanism 3.
[0069] The solution pretreatment unit 3 includes a treatment component 33, a pressure control component 31, and a solution treatment component 32.
[0070] The pneumatic control component 31 mainly includes a support frame 311 suspended in the middle of the core cavity shell 5. A limiting groove 314 is opened on the inner wall of the support frame 311. A guide airflow shell 312 is embedded in the middle of the upper end of the support frame 311. The shell is connected to an external inert gas source through a second air guide pipe 313. A guide cone 315 is provided at the bottom of the second air guide pipe 313. Its function is to guide the input inert gas evenly to the surrounding area and avoid the airflow directly impacting the liquid surface and causing splashing.
[0071] The core of the processing component 33 is a solution vessel 331, which carries the metal solution and is embedded in the limiting groove 314 of the support frame 311. The limiting groove achieves positioning and sealing. The upper part of the inner cavity of the solution vessel 331 has an inlet pipe 332 that connects to the control interface of the external smelting furnace. The bottom or side wall of the solution vessel 331 is provided with an outlet pipe 333. When the gas pressure control component 31 injects inert gas into the top space of the solution vessel 331, the gas pressure inside the vessel increases, and the metal solution is forced out through the outlet pipe 333.
[0072] The solution treatment assembly 32 includes a central rod 321 that is rotatably mounted in the middle of the inner cavity of the support frame 311 via a bearing. The central rod 321 is driven to rotate by an external motor, and its outer periphery is provided with a purification assembly, an agitation assembly, and a laminar flow assembly from top to bottom.
[0073] The impurity removal component includes a top sealing plate 326, a ceramic foam stack 325, and a corrugated screen 322, which are sequentially fitted around the outer periphery of the central rod 321 from top to bottom. The ceramic foam stack 325 is located between the top sealing plate and the corrugated screen 322, and its surface is adapted to and fits the corrugated contour of the corrugated screen 322. The ceramic foam stack 325 is composed of multiple layers and has a large number of hollows 320 inside. When the central rod rotates, the corrugated screen 322 stirs the liquid surface, and the ceramic foam stack 325 uses its porous structure to physically adsorb the oxide inclusions in the aluminum liquid.
[0074] The agitation assembly includes multiple agitator blades 323 spaced equally around the outer periphery of the central rod 321. The agitator blades 323 have a wavy cross-section and flow guide grooves 327 on their surfaces. This structure generates complex turbulence when rotating, breaking the static state of the molten metal and promoting the floating of impurities to contact the impurity removal assembly.
[0075] The laminar flow assembly includes a mounting column 328 connected to the bottom of the central rod 321 and a spiral guide 324 spirally coiled around the outer periphery of the mounting column. The outer wall of the mounting column 328 is provided with multiple inclined blades 329. When the assembly rotates, the inclined blades 329 generate an upward axial thrust, guiding the molten metal to flow upward. At the same time, the blades of the spiral guide 324 extend inclined towards the axis, generating a centripetal thrust, which gathers the molten metal from the periphery to the center, forming a stable laminar flow and preventing air entrapment.
[0076] It is worth noting that the precise coordination between the pressure control component 31 and the processing component 33 ensures the stability and purity of the molten metal transport process. The pressure control component 31 uses the guide cone 315 to uniformly guide the inert gas, preventing the airflow from directly impacting the liquid surface and causing splashing and oxidation. Simultaneously, the solution vessel 331 is embedded in the limiting groove 314 of the support frame 311, forming a reliable sealed cavity. This ensures that the pressure inside the vessel rises steadily when inert gas is injected, allowing the clean molten metal to be smoothly expelled through the outlet pipe 333, effectively preventing the air entrapment and pressure fluctuation problems that easily occur during traditional gravity casting or ordinary pumping.
[0077] Furthermore, the solution treatment component 32 significantly improves the impurity removal effect and flow quality of the molten metal through its unique rotating layered design. The impurity removal component utilizes the agitation of the wave screen plate 322 and the porous adsorption characteristics of the ceramic foam stack 325 to efficiently remove oxide inclusions from the surface of the molten aluminum. The agitation component generates turbulence through the agitation plate 323 and its guide channel 327, promoting the upward floating of internal impurities. Meanwhile, the laminar flow component at the bottom utilizes the guiding effect of the inclined blade plate 329 and the spiral guide 324 to transform the originally turbulent molten metal into a stable laminar flow that rises and converges towards the center, eliminating the hidden danger of pores inside the molten metal and ensuring the stability of the filling process. This greatly improves the internal density and mechanical properties of the rotary suspension clamp body.
[0078] Example 3: This example provides a further technical solution for the low-pressure casting mechanism 2.
[0079] The low-pressure casting mechanism 2 includes a housing sealing assembly 22 and a guide assembly 21.
[0080] The outer casing sealing assembly 22 includes an airflow chamber 221 fixed to the inner wall of the molten metal insulation device 1, and a solution chamber 223 for storing molten metal at its lower end. The two are separated by a partition 222. The airflow chamber 221 is connected to an external air source through an airflow duct 224. When casting is performed, the airflow chamber 221 is filled with air and pressurized to compress the molten metal in the solution chamber 223.
[0081] The guide assembly 21 adopts a unique multi-layer sleeve gas-assisted structure, including a main flow tube 211, an inner tube 216, an airflow outer cover 214, a spacer tube 218, and a suction tube 213.
[0082] The main flow tube 211 passes through the airflow chamber 221 and communicates with the external mold. The inner tube 216 is fitted at the bottom of the main flow tube, and the outer circumference is fitted with an airflow cover 214. The inner wall of the airflow cover 214 is provided with a spacer tube 218 extending into the inner tube, and the spacer tube is provided with a suction tube 213 extending into the main flow tube.
[0083] Gas path logic: The outer side of the ring cover 215 is connected to the first gas guide tube 212, which is connected to the external high-pressure inert gas tube. After the inert gas enters, it passes through the first gap between the spacer tube 218 and the inner tube 216, enters the cavity between the spacer tube and the suction tube, and finally enters the main flow tube 211 through the second gap between the suction tube 213 and the spacer tube.
[0084] Anti-backflow structure: A ring cover 215 is provided at the upper end of the airflow cover 214, and a second ceramic foam ring 219 is installed inside to prevent molten metal from backflowing into the gas pipe. A first ceramic foam ring 217 is provided at the bottom of the airflow cover to reduce the gas leakage rate and play a buffer sealing role. At the same time, the spacer tube and the bottom of the airflow cover are respectively provided with a drain hole 2112 and a leak hole 2111 to allow a small amount of infiltrated molten metal to flow back and prevent gas path blockage. Moreover, the second ceramic foam ring 219 and the first ceramic foam ring 217 are both existing technologies, and when the pressure inside the first gap increases, the molten metal can flow out through the ceramic foam ring.
[0085] It is worth noting that, through the synergistic effect of the outer shell sealing assembly 22 and the guiding assembly 21, a combination of low-pressure filling and high-pressure feeding is achieved. The outer shell sealing assembly 22 utilizes the base pressure provided by the airflow chamber 221 to ensure that the molten metal rises steadily in the solution chamber 223 and initially fills the mold. On this basis, the guiding assembly 21 introduces high-pressure inert gas through the first air guide tube 212. The gas passes through the first gap between the spacer tube 218 and the inner tube 216, and the second gap between the spacer tube and the suction tube 213, and finally acts precisely on the molten metal in the main flow tube 211. The unique multi-stage air path design enables the device to apply a secondary air pressure higher than that inside the outer shell sealing assembly 22 in the later stage of filling, which produces a strong impact and feeding effect on the solidifying molten metal, effectively eliminating shrinkage and porosity inside the casting, and significantly improving the density of the suspension clamp body.
[0086] Furthermore, by setting an airflow cover 214 and a multi-sleeve structure around the outer periphery of the embedded tube 216, and cooperating with the second ceramic foam ring 219 inside the ring cover 215, the path of molten metal backflow into the gas pipe is effectively blocked. At the same time, the first ceramic foam ring 217 at the bottom plays a buffer sealing role, reducing the gas leakage rate. The opening of the drain hole 2112 and the leakage hole 2111, combined with the air permeability of the ceramic foam ring, allows a small amount of molten metal that has seeped in to flow back smoothly when the pressure changes, preventing gas path blockage and avoiding equipment failure caused by molten metal solidification blocking the pipe.
