Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of deep well casting technology, and particularly relates to a deep well casting system for aluminum alloy ingots. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy ingots are alloys made from pure aluminum and recycled aluminum, with other elements added according to international standards or special requirements, such as silicon (Si), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), and iron (Fe), to improve the shortcomings of pure aluminum in terms of castability, chemical properties, and physical properties. Aluminum alloys have a density of 2.63–2.85 g / cm³, high strength (σb = 110–650 MPa), a specific strength approaching that of high-alloy steel, a specific stiffness exceeding that of steel, good casting and plastic processing properties, good electrical and thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance and weldability, and can be used as structural materials. They have wide applications in aerospace, aviation, transportation, construction, electromechanical, light chemical, and daily consumer goods.

[0003] The existing patent application (application number: 202121873122.3) uses a transmission mechanism to drive the screw to rotate, which in turn causes the lifting rod to move the receiving seat up and down. This ensures that the receiving seat is not prone to tilting, thus guaranteeing its level, improving casting precision, and enhancing the quality of the finished product. By setting a filter screen in the guide channel, impurities in the molten aluminum can be filtered out, ensuring the cleanliness of the molten aluminum.

[0004] Existing deep well casting systems can achieve a level receiving base and filter impurities in molten aluminum. However, after aluminum alloy ingots agglomerate in the crystallizer, a small amount of residue remains on the inner wall of the crystallizer. Furthermore, since the composition of aluminum alloy ingots varies depending on their intended use, these residues directly affect the casting quality of the aluminum alloy ingots. Existing deep well casting systems do not clean these residues in a timely manner.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above situation, there is an urgent need to develop a deep-well casting system for aluminum alloy ingots to overcome the shortcomings in current practical applications. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a deep well casting system for aluminum alloy ingots to solve the problems mentioned in the background.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A deep-well casting system for aluminum alloy ingots includes a casting well, a crystallizer and a hydraulic module disposed within the casting well, the hydraulic module being located at the bottom of the casting well, and the output end of the hydraulic module extending into the crystallizer and connected to the bottom of an ingot derrick, and further comprising:

[0009] A cleaning mechanism is provided at the bottom of the ingot generator, with one end of the cleaning mechanism in contact with the inner wall of the crystallizer. The cleaning mechanism is used to clean the residue on the side wall of the crystallizer. A collection box is provided at the bottom of the crystallizer for collecting the residue.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the cleaning mechanism includes a mounting base, a drive component, an adjustment component, and a cleaning seat. The mounting base is distributed and fixed on the bottom of the ingot feeder. The drive component and the adjustment component are both disposed inside the mounting base, and the drive component is connected to the adjustment component. The other end of the adjustment component extends outside the mounting base and is connected to the cleaning seat.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the driving component includes a driving element, a transmission module, a worm, a worm wheel, a rotating seat, and a connecting seat. The driving element is fixed in the mounting seat. The output end of the driving element is connected to the worm through the transmission module. The worm is meshed with the worm wheel. The rotating seat is mounted on the worm wheel. A connecting seat is mounted on one end of the rotating seat. The connecting seat is slidably connected to the adjustment component.

[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the adjustment component includes a sliding seat, a fixed seat and a connecting rod. The sliding seat is slidably fitted onto the fixed seat and is slidably connected to the connecting seat. One end of the fixed seat is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting seat, and the other end of the fixed seat extends to the mounting seat. The cleaning seat is movably installed at the other end of the fixed seat, and one end of the cleaning seat is movably connected to the outer wall of the sliding seat through the connecting rod.

[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention, an annular groove is provided on the outer wall of the sliding seat, and the groove is used for the installation of the connecting seat.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, mounting grooves are provided on both sides of the fixed base, and the mounting grooves are used to guide the sliding of the sliding member.

[0015] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a cooling module is also provided inside the casting well, the cooling module is used to cool the crystallizer, and an installation frame is also provided on the casting well, the installation frame is provided with a clamping module, the clamping module is used to pick up the aluminum alloy ingot inside the crystallizer.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] After the aluminum alloy ingot is cast, the hydraulic module drives the ingot derrick and the aluminum alloy ingot to rise, and at the same time drives the cleaning seat to move upward. One end of the cleaning seat contacts the inner wall of the crystallizer. The cleaning seat moves to clean the residue on the inner wall of the crystallizer, so as to avoid the residue from affecting the casting quality of the aluminum alloy ingot and improve the casting quality and casting efficiency of the aluminum alloy ingot.

[0018] When it is necessary to change the cleaning angle of the cleaning seat, the drive unit drives the worm to rotate through the transmission module. The worm drives the worm wheel to rotate, the worm wheel drives the rotating seat to deflect, the rotating seat drives the connecting seat to deflect, the connecting seat drives the sliding seat to move through the slide groove, and the sliding seat drives the cleaning seat to rotate on the fixed seat through the connecting rod. This achieves the adjustment of the angle of the cleaning seat, meets the requirements for cleaning residues, and improves the working efficiency and practicality of the casting system.
