[0002] A die-casting machine is a machine used for pressure casting, including a hot press chamber and a cold press chamber, which are later divided into two types: vertical and horizontal. The die-casting machine hydraulically injects the molten metal into the mold under pressure for cooling and forming. After the mold is opened, a solid metal casting can be obtained. It was originally used for die-casting lead type. With the progress of science and technology and industrial production, especially with the development of industries such as automobiles, motorcycles and home appliances, die-casting technology has achieved extremely rapid development. However, in the existing technology, there is often a risk of explosion in the furnace when die-casting aluminum ingots or aluminum bars, and due to the lack of preheating, a lot of melting costs are increased, which is not conducive to the interests of the enterprise itself.

The top of the feeder body 1 is provided with an aluminum material placement platform 11, which can be used to place aluminum ingots or aluminum bars, and can automatically complete the rotation and positioning of the aluminum ingots or aluminum bars under the drive of the rotating motor 12, and the aluminum material placement platform 11 An aluminum material positioning switch 10 is arranged on the top, a processed material 16 is placed on the top of the aluminum material placement platform 11, and a clamp 9 is arranged at the middle end of the feeder body 1, and a clamping arm 8 is arranged on the top of the clamp 9, and the clamping arm 8 is also provided with a screw motor and a slider bearing, and the screw motor and the slider bearing are all arranged on the top of the clamp 9, and the clamp 9 is also connected to a cylinder ejection mechanism 7, and the cylinder ejection mechanism 7 is also connected to a clamping cylinder 6, and a forward and backward motor 2 is arranged at the right end of the top of the feeder body 1, and an up and down travel motor 3 is arranged on the upper end of the top of the feeder body 1, and an up and down travel screw 4 is arranged on the left side of the up and down travel motor 3. The feeder body 1 can be adjusted up and down by the up and down travel motor 3 and the up and down travel screw 4 according to the length of the aluminum ingot or aluminum rod to achieve the required appropriate height. At the same time, an aluminum material descending stroke switch 5 is also arranged on the left side of the up and down travel screw 4, and the number of aluminum material descending stroke switches 5 is multiple, and the distance between every two adjacent aluminum material descending stroke switches 5 is the same.

[0017] When in use, a rotating motor 12 is provided to drive the aluminum material placing platform 11 for placing aluminum ingots or aluminum bars to rotate. The aluminum material placing platform 11 is provided to place aluminum ingots or aluminum bars, and the rotation and positioning of the aluminum ingots or aluminum bars can be automatically completed under the drive of the rotating motor 12.
