Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of foundry metallurgy, and particularly to an automated purification device for high-purity aluminum and its control method. Background Art

[0002] High-purity aluminum has good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, reflectivity, corrosion resistance, weak magnetic conductivity, and excellent processing and forming capabilities. It is mainly used in the fields of electronic aluminum foil, electronic guide pins and wires, high-purity alumina powder, aerospace aluminum alloy, target materials, etc., such as electronics, aerospace, integrated circuits and other fields.

[0003] The segregation method is a mature process technology for producing high-purity aluminum. From the perspective of implementation methods, the segregation method has various technical forms such as distributed crystallization, directional solidification, and rotational segregation. Although there are various technical forms of the segregation method, the production process of each technical form generally includes the following steps:

[0004] 1) Transfer the raw materials from the electrolysis workshop to the holding furnace in the high-purity aluminum production workshop for pretreatment;

[0005] 2) Clean the production crucible, prepare a protective coating and transfer it to the crucible holding furnace for preheating to the required temperature;

[0006] 3) Transfer the pretreated electrolytic aluminum liquid from the holding furnace to the crucible of the high-purity aluminum production equipment using a transfer ladle;

[0007] 4) High-purity aluminum production operation;

[0008] 5) After production, use a crane to lift the production crucible out of the holding furnace, pour out the residual liquid in the crucible, and let the product cool to room temperature with the crucible;

[0009] 6) After the product and the crucible cool to room temperature, use a crane to lift the high-purity aluminum product out of the crucible, clean the coating adhered to the surface of the product, saw it into small pieces, melt and cast it into standard ingots.

A cooling component 11 is communicated with the first connecting rod 10 near the first platform 7 side, and the cooling component 11 is used to convey cooling water into the first connecting rod 10. A crystallizer 12 is sleeved outside the end of the first connecting rod 10 away from the first platform 7. After the crystallizer 12 encounters the molten raw material, crystals will be formed on its surface.

[0080] Embodiment 2

[0081] On the basis of Embodiment 1, further, the present application proposes a control method for a high-purity aluminum automatic purification device, as Figure 5 shown, including the following steps:

[0082] S101. Set a preset temperature and the number of crystallization times. Among them, before the system runs, 500 Kg of raw materials are added to the second container body 33 and heated to melt. The system is initialized, and the preset temperature of the second container body 33 is set to 750 °C to melt the raw materials and keep them at a constant temperature to obtain a first molten liquid. Optionally, the preset temperature of the heat preservation component 37 is set to 700 - 710 °C. The number of crystallization times per batch is set to N = 4 times. The standby position of the crystallization component 6 is set at the uppermost right side of the bracket body, and the standby position of the grasping and releasing component 23 is set at the uppermost left side of the bracket body.

[0083] S102. Heat the first container body to the preset temperature. Herein, set the preset temperature of the crucible 2 to 700 - 710 °C. Start the heating program of the heat preservation component 37. After heating for a period of time, judge whether the temperature of the crucible 2 meets the set standard. If it meets the standard, introduce the first molten liquid into the second station. If it does not meet the standard, repeat the heating process of the heat preservation component 37 until the crucible 2 meets the preset temperature.

[0084] S103. Pour the melting raw material into the first container body. Herein, pour the first molten liquid to the second station, and set the preset value of the distance from the liquid level of the first molten liquid to the upper edge of the crucible 2 to be 20 cm. Then, judge again whether the temperature of the crucible 2 meets the set value. If it meets the standard, perform the operation of the third station. If it does not meet the standard, repeat the heating process of the heat preservation component 37 until the preset temperature is met.

[0085] S104. Place the crystallization component 6 into the first container body and form the product on the crystallization component 6. Herein, drive the crystallization component 6 to move above the second station by the first motor 16. Open the cover plate of the heat preservation component 37. The ranging device 32 measures the liquid level height L in the crucible 2. Then, drive the crystallizer 12 to rotate and descend into the first molten liquid in the crucible 2 at a low speed of 50 - 100 rpm by the first lifting drive component and the fourth drive component 18. The descending distance is L + 25 mm. Then, drive the crystallizer 12 to rotate at a high speed of 200 - 250 rpm by the fourth drive component 18. The timer starts timing. Set the preset time for single ingot purification to be 45 - 60 minutes. Close the cover plate of the heat preservation component 37 and start the crystallization operation.

[0086] S105. Drive the crystallization component 6 to move out of the first container body. Herein, after completing one crystallization operation, the crystallizer 12 reduces the rotation speed to a low speed of 50 - 100 rpm by the fourth drive component 18. Open the cover plate of the heat preservation component 37. The first lifting drive component drives the crystallization component 6 to rise to the highest limit position. The crystallization component 6 stops rotating. The first motor 16 drives the crystallization component 6 to move from the second station to the third station.

[0087] S106. Unload the product. Herein, when the crystallization component 6 moves to the third station, the cylinder on the unloading component provides the power for its telescopic rod to move downward, and then knocks the product off the crystallization component 6.
