Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aluminum ingot conveying, and in particular to an operation method of an aluminum ingot chain plate conveying device. Background Art

[0002] When melting aluminum ingots, the stacked aluminum ingots need to be put into the melting furnace and melted in the melting furnace.

[0003] The existing feeding method is to release the aluminum ingots stacked in a cube or cuboid shape by a crane above the furnace mouth, and the whole aluminum ingot falls into the furnace mouth. In this way, on the one hand, the feeding efficiency is low, and on the other hand, the large overall weight of the aluminum ingot sometimes causes the high-temperature molten liquid in the furnace to splash out when it falls into the furnace mouth, resulting in industrial injury accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an operation method of an aluminum ingot chain plate conveying device, effectively solving the problems of the existing feeding method, that is, on the one hand, the feeding efficiency is low, and on the other hand, the large overall weight of the aluminum ingot sometimes causes the high-temperature molten liquid in the furnace to splash out when it falls into the furnace mouth, resulting in industrial injury accidents.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The present invention includes a chain plate conveyor, a driving sprocket, a driving wheel, a driving chain, a speed reducer, a motor, a guard plate, a discharging shell, a roller shaft, a blanking port, a fixed rotating shaft, a baffle plate, a cross bar, a connecting chain, a locking plate, a mounting block, an adjusting rod, a limiting disc, a rotating disc, a fixed block, a sliding groove, a square groove, a through hole and a sliding rail. A plurality of driving sprockets are equidistantly installed inside the frame of the chain plate conveyor. One end of the driving sprocket at the left end of the chain plate conveyor is connected with a driving wheel. A driving chain is meshed with the driving wheel. One end of the driving chain is meshed with a speed reducer. A motor is installed on one side of the speed reducer. A discharging shell is fixed at one end of the chain plate conveyor. A plurality of roller shafts are obliquely installed at the bottom inside the discharging shell. A blanking port is opened at one end of the discharging shell. A baffle plate is installed in the blanking port through a fixed rotating shaft. A cross bar is welded to the middle of the outer side of the baffle plate. A connecting chain is fixed on the cross bar. Locking plates are welded to the middle of both sides of the discharging shell. One end of the connecting chain is fixed on the locking plate. The two ends of the transmission shaft of the driving sprocket at the right end of the chain plate conveyor are inserted into the mounting block. An adjusting rod is inserted into one side of the mounting block. One end of the adjusting rod is connected with a limiting disc. The other end of the adjusting rod is provided with a rotating disc. The adjusting rod is sleeved with a fixed block. The fixed block is welded to the side frame of the chain plate conveyor. Sliding grooves are respectively opened in the middle of the top and bottom of the mounting block. A sliding rail is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The sliding rails are respectively welded to the top and bottom of the side frame of the chain plate conveyor;

[0006] The operation method of the aluminum ingot chain plate conveying device is as follows:

[0007] During use, the motor operates to transmit power to the speed reducer, and then through a runner at one end of the speed reducer, it is transmitted to the transmission wheel via a transmission chain. The rotation of the transmission wheel drives the rotation of the transmission sprocket inside the left end of the chain plate conveyor, and the rotation of the transmission sprocket drives the rotation of the chain plate, thereby moving the aluminum ingots on the chain plate to the left. After moving to the left end, the aluminum ingots slide off the chain plate and enter onto the roller shaft, move obliquely downward from the roller shaft, and are discharged from the discharge opening and fall into the melting furnace opening below. When the aluminum ingots are being discharged, the provided baffle plate, cross bar, connecting chain, and locking plate can restrict them. The restriction process is as follows: adjust the length of the connecting chain between the locking plate and the cross bar as needed. However, when the aluminum ingots slide down, they will push the baffle plate, and the baffle plate will open. The aluminum ingots slide down through the opening. When the opening of the baffle plate reaches the maximum angle, only one aluminum ingot is allowed to slide down through the opening of the baffle plate, which can effectively prevent the stacked aluminum ingots from colliding with each other when entering downward together, which may cause individual strip-shaped aluminum ingots not to fall into the furnace opening below. When the chain plate of the chain plate conveyor needs to adjust the tension, rotate the rotating disk. The rotation of the rotating disk, in cooperation with the threaded holes on the fixed block, causes the adjusting rod to push or pull the mounting block to slide on the slide rail, thereby achieving the adjustment of the tightness of the chain plate wound around the transmission sprocket, which is convenient to use.

[0008] Preferably, through holes are provided at positions on the mounting block corresponding to the adjusting rod.

[0009] Preferably, square grooves are provided at positions on the mounting block corresponding to the limiting disk.

[0010] Preferably, external threads are provided on the surface of the adjusting rod, and threaded holes are provided at positions on the fixed block corresponding to the adjusting rod.

[0011] Preferably, guard plates are installed on both sides at the top of the chain plate conveyor.

[0012] Preferably, anti-slip patterns are provided on the surface of the rotating disk.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention: The structure of the present invention is novel and ingeniously conceived. The aluminum ingots stacked in a cube or cuboid shape are lifted by a crane and placed on the chain plate of the chain plate conveyor in a linear arrangement. The movement of the chain plate drives the aluminum ingots to move towards the roller shaft in the pouring shell. The feeding efficiency of the aluminum ingots is high. At the same time, the discharging one by one can be controlled to prevent the aluminum ingots from not falling into the melting furnace, and the tension of the chain plate of the chain plate conveyor can be adjusted, which is beneficial for use.

[0021] The following is combined with Figures 1-5 The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Depend on Figures 1-5Given that, the present invention includes a chain plate conveyor 1, a driving sprocket 2, a driving wheel 3, a driving chain 4, a speed reducer 5, an electric motor 6, a guard plate 7, a blanking housing 8, a roller shaft 9, a blanking opening 10, a fixed rotating shaft 11, a baffle plate 12, a cross bar 13, a connecting chain 14, a locking plate 15, a mounting block 16, an adjusting rod 17, a limiting disc 18, a rotating disc 19, a fixed block 20, a sliding groove 21, a square groove 22, a through hole 23 and a slide rail 24. A plurality of driving sprockets 2 are equidistantly installed inside the frame of the chain plate conveyor 1. One end of the driving sprocket 2 at the left end of the chain plate conveyor 1 is connected to a driving wheel 3. A driving chain 4 is meshed and connected to the driving wheel 3. One end of the driving chain 4 is meshed and connected to a speed reducer 5. An electric motor 6 is installed on one side of the speed reducer 5. A blanking housing 8 is fixed at one end of the chain plate conveyor 1. A plurality of roller shafts 9 are inclinedly installed at the bottom inside the blanking housing 8. A blanking opening 10 is provided at one end of the blanking housing 8. A baffle plate 12 is installed in the blanking opening 10 through a fixed rotating shaft 11. A cross bar 13 is welded to the middle of the outer side of the baffle plate 12. A connecting chain 14 is fixed to the cross bar 13. Locking plates 15 are welded to the middle of both sides of the blanking housing 8. One end of the connecting chain 14 is fixed to the locking plate 15. The two ends of the transmission shaft of the driving sprocket 2 at the right end of the chain plate conveyor 1 are inserted into the mounting block 16. An adjusting rod 17 is inserted into one side of the mounting block 16. One end of the adjusting rod 17 is connected to a limiting disc 18. The other end of the adjusting rod 17 is provided with a rotating disc 19. The adjusting rod 17 is sleeved with a fixed block 20. The fixed block 20 is welded to the side frame of the chain plate conveyor 1. Sliding grooves 21 are provided in the middle of the top and bottom of the mounting block 16. Slide rails 24 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 21. The slide rails 24 are respectively welded to the top and bottom of the side frame of the chain plate conveyor 1.

[0024] During operation, the motor 6 operates to transmit power to the speed reducer 5. Then, through a runner at one end of the speed reducer 5, power is transmitted to the transmission wheel 3 via the transmission chain 4. The rotation of the transmission wheel 3 drives the transmission sprocket 2 inside the left end of the chain plate conveyor 1 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission sprocket 2 drives the chain plates to rotate, thereby moving the aluminum ingots on the chain plates to the left. After moving to the left end, the aluminum ingots slide off the chain plates and onto the roller shaft 9, move obliquely downward from the roller shaft 9, and are discharged from the discharge opening 10, falling into the melting furnace opening below. When the aluminum ingots are being discharged, the baffle plate 12, cross bar 13, connecting chain 14, and locking plate 15 provided can restrict them. The restriction process is as follows: Adjust the length of the connecting chain 14 between the locking plate 15 and the cross bar 13 as needed. However, when the aluminum ingots slide, they will push the baffle plate 12, and the baffle plate 12 will open. The aluminum ingots slide down through the opening. When the opening of the baffle plate 12 reaches the maximum angle, only one aluminum ingot is allowed to slide down through the opening of the baffle plate 12, which can effectively prevent the stacked aluminum ingots from colliding with each other when entering downward together, which may cause individual strip-shaped aluminum ingots not to fall into the furnace opening below. When the chain plates of the chain plate conveyor 1 need to be adjusted for tension, rotate the rotating disk 19. The rotation of the rotating disk 19, in cooperation with the threaded holes on the fixed block 20, causes the adjusting rod 17 to push or pull the mounting block 16 to slide on the slide rail 24, thereby achieving the adjustment of the tightness of the chain plates wound around the transmission sprocket 2, which is convenient to use.

[0025] A through hole 23 is provided at the position corresponding to the adjusting rod 17 on the mounting block 16, facilitating the installation and use of the adjusting rod 17.

[0028] Guard plates 7 are installed on both sides of the top of the chain plate conveyor 1, which can protect the inside of the chain plate conveyor 1.

[0029] Anti-slip patterns are provided on the surface of the rotating disk 19, which can prevent slipping when the rotating disk 19 rotates.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
