Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of progesterone funnel technology, and more particularly to a remotely controlled flow progesterone funnel. Background Technology

[0002] Inoculation is a crucial step in the smelting and casting process. The inoculant primarily influences the eutectic solidification process of cast iron. The flow rate varies depending on the casting material and the weight of the casting. To control different flow rates, different inoculant funnels are needed for inoculation. However, in controlling the inoculation flow, the problems described in the patent often arise. See CN216502260U, which discloses a remote-controlled inoculation funnel fixed above the casting equipment by a support rod for dispensing inoculant. It includes a storage bin, a feeding mechanism, and a control mechanism. The storage silo is connected to a feeding mechanism, which includes a shell, a rotating shaft at the center of the shell, and multiple blades on the rotating shaft. Although this patent can make the inoculant and molten iron mix evenly and improve the safety and convenience of adding the inoculant, there is still a problem that it is difficult to remotely control the flow rate, which affects the adjustment and application under different flow control. Therefore, in the long-term research and development testing process, the inoculant funnel in the existing technology is difficult to adjust the flow rate of the inoculant through remote control, and there is a safety hazard caused by the manual pulling of the chain. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to propose a remotely controlled incubator funnel to solve the problem that it is difficult to avoid the safety hazards caused by manually pulling the chain through remote control.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a remotely controlled in-flow inoculant funnel, comprising: a funnel chamber, a funnel spout disposed at the bottom of the funnel chamber, and multiple support frames fixedly installed around the periphery of the funnel chamber; further comprising: a signal receiver fixedly installed at one end of the top of the funnel chamber; a motor fixedly installed at the top of one side of the periphery of the funnel chamber; a chain wound around the power output end of the motor; a baffle fixedly connected to one end of the chain, one side of the baffle sliding against the funnel spout, and the motor pulling the chain to change the size of the opening of the funnel spout covered by the baffle.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustable height buckle includes: a sleeve, which is movably sleeved on the bottom of the outer periphery of the support frame; a slot for inserting the support frame is provided at the center of the top of the sleeve; an installation strip is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the outer periphery of the sleeve; a plurality of collinearly distributed magnetic plugs are movably inserted into one side of the installation strip; a plurality of positioning holes are provided on the lower side of one side of the outer periphery of the support frame; iron blocks are embedded in the positioning holes; one end of the magnetic plug passes through the slot and extends into the positioning hole; and the magnetic plug is attracted to the iron block.

[0007] Preferably, the funnel includes: a boss, fixedly installed on one side of the outer periphery of the funnel; a fixing ring, fixedly sleeved on the lower periphery of the funnel; a roller is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing ring, and the chain passes through the boss and slides around the roller, with the chain axis vertically parallel to the funnel above it; a pointer is fixedly installed in the middle of the outer periphery of the chain, and a scale is fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the funnel near the chain, with the motor pulling the chain to change the position of the pointer on the scale.

[0008] Preferably, the signal receiver is surrounded by a heat-insulating and heat-resistant sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, a charging power supply is detachably provided on the other side of the periphery of the funnel chamber, and the signal receiver operates the motor via remote control.

[0010] Preferably, the funnel hopper further includes: a first guide port, rotatably connected to the bottom of the funnel hopper, the rotation center line of the first guide port being perpendicular to the center line of the funnel hopper; a second guide port, rotatably connected to the bottom of the first guide port, the rotation center line of the second guide port being perpendicular to the center line of the funnel hopper; a third guide port, rotatably connected to the bottom of the second guide port, the rotation center line of the third guide port being perpendicular to the center line of the funnel hopper; a first electromagnet that attracts each other is fixedly installed at the opening end of the first guide port and the opening end of the funnel hopper, a second electromagnet that attracts each other is fixedly installed at the opening end of the second guide port and the opening end of the first guide port, and a third electromagnet that attracts each other is fixedly installed at the opening end of the third guide port and the opening end of the second guide port; a fourth electromagnet that attracts each other is fixedly installed at the end of the baffle away from the chain and the end of the funnel nozzle, and the baffle slides against the third guide port through a slider.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By providing a signal receiver at one end of the top of the funnel chamber, users can conveniently control the motor remotely.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Example

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a remotely controlled inoculant funnel includes: a funnel chamber 1, a funnel nozzle 11 disposed at the bottom of the funnel chamber 1, the funnel nozzle 11 being obliquely cut, and multiple support frames 2 bolted to the periphery of the funnel chamber 1, at least three support frames 2 arranged at the endpoints of an equilateral triangle; it also includes: a signal receiver 4 bolted to one end of the top of the funnel chamber 1, the signal receiver 4 being fitted with a heat-insulating and heat-resistant sleeve; a motor bolted to the top of one side of the funnel chamber 1; and a chain 33 for winding... The chain 33 is wound around the power output end of the motor; one end of the chain 33 is fixedly connected to a baffle 34 by bolts. One side of the baffle 34 slides against the funnel mouth 11. The connection of the limiting slider allows the baffle 34 to always stay against the funnel mouth 11 and slide back and forth. The motor pulls the chain 33 to change the size of the baffle 34 blocking the opening of the funnel mouth 11. A charging power supply is detachably provided on the other side of the funnel chamber 1. The detachable charging power supply eliminates the need for additional power each time it is used. The signal receiver 4 operates the motor by remote control.

[0022] The oblique cut of the funnel nozzle 11 reduces resistance when the motor pulls the baffle 34, facilitating the motor's pulling of the chain 33 and reducing power loss. The support frame 2 around the funnel chamber 1 allows it to be easily positioned above the pouring cup, enabling the inoculant within the funnel chamber 1 to fall from the funnel nozzle 11 into the pouring cup under gravity, and then into the mold cavity containing molten iron for inoculation. A signal receiver 4 at the top of the funnel chamber 1 allows users to remotely control the motor, adjusting its forward and reverse rotation. The chain 33 is rotated at a certain speed to move the baffle 34 below the funnel nozzle 11. The flow rate of the inoculant is adjusted by changing the amount of the opening of the funnel nozzle 11 blocked by the baffle 34. This allows for effective adjustment of the flow rate according to the changes in the casting material and the weight of the pour, meeting the control requirements of different flow rates. It also avoids the safety hazards of the traditional manual pulling of the chain 33, such as the risk of workers being burned by splashing molten iron and sparks because they cannot let go before the pouring is finished. In addition, due to the limited length of the chain, if water leaks and the chain cannot be moved away in time, there is a risk of being burned by a large amount of molten iron or even dying. Example

[0023] The difference from the previous embodiment is that the support frame 2 includes: an adjustable height buckle, which is set at the bottom periphery of the support frame 2. The height of the support frame 2 can be adjusted according to the size of the pouring cup by means of the adjustable height buckle provided on the support frame 2; the adjustable height buckle includes: a sleeve 21, which is movably sleeved on the bottom periphery of the support frame 2. A slot for inserting the support frame 2 is opened at the center of the top of the sleeve 21. An installation strip 22 is fixedly installed on the top of one side of the sleeve 21 by bolts. Multiple collinearly distributed magnetic plugs 23 are movably inserted into one side of the installation strip 22. Multiple positioning holes 24 are opened at the bottom of one side of the support frame 2. An iron block is embedded in the positioning hole 24. One end of the magnetic plug 23 passes through the slot and extends into the positioning hole 24. The magnetic plug 23 is attracted to the iron block.

[0024] The sleeve 21, which is movably fitted at the bottom of the support frame 2, is inserted into the positioning hole 24 on the support frame 2 by means of multiple magnetic plugs 23 located on the mounting strip 22. Through the attraction between the magnetic plugs 23 and the iron block in the positioning hole 24, the user can easily and quickly install and remove the sleeve 21 at the bottom of the support frame 2, thereby adjusting the position of the funnel chamber 1 above the pouring cup of different sizes to implement in-flow incubation.

[0025] The funnel chamber 1 includes: a boss 3, which is fixedly installed on one side of the outer periphery of the funnel chamber 1 by bolts; a fixing ring 31, which is fixedly sleeved on the lower periphery of the funnel chamber 1; a roller 32 is fixedly installed on one end of the fixing ring 31 by bolts, and a chain 33 slides around the roller 32 through the boss 3, with the axis of the chain 33 vertically parallel to the funnel chamber 1 above it; a pointer 35 is fixedly installed on the middle of the outer periphery of the chain 33 by bolts, and a scale 36 is fixedly installed on the side of the outer periphery of the funnel chamber 1 near the chain 33 by bolts, and a motor pulls the chain 33 to change the position of the pointer 35 on the scale 36.

[0026] The flow rate of the inoculant can be adjusted by changing the height of the funnel chamber 1 and by using a motor to pull the chain 33 to adjust the amount of obstruction of the baffle 34 at the funnel mouth 11. Simultaneously, a scale 36 located on the outer side of the funnel chamber 1 near the chain 33 allows the chain 33 to move as it moves, causing a pointer 35 on the outer side of the chain 33 to move along the scale 36. This allows operators to easily monitor the flow rate of the inoculant from a distance, enabling them to adjust the flow rate according to different needs. This effectively avoids the investment cost of manufacturing multiple funnels with different flow rates in the factory. Example

[0027] like Figure 5As shown, the difference from the second embodiment is that the funnel chamber 1 further includes: a first guide port 5, rotatably connected to the bottom of the funnel chamber 1, the rotation center line of the first guide port 5 being perpendicular to the center line of the funnel chamber 1; a second guide port 51, rotatably connected to the bottom of the first guide port 5, the rotation center line of the second guide port 51 being perpendicular to the center line of the funnel chamber 1; and a third guide port 52, rotatably connected to the bottom of the second guide port 51, the rotation center line of the third guide port 52 being perpendicular to the center line of the funnel chamber 1. The inner diameters of the first guide port 5, the second guide port 51, and the third guide port 52 are... The order is as follows: The first feed inlet 5 and the opening end of the funnel hopper 1 are fixedly installed with a first electromagnet 53 that attracts each other by bolts; the second feed inlet 51 and the opening end of the first feed inlet 5 are fixedly installed with a second electromagnet 54 that attracts each other by bolts; the third feed inlet 52 and the opening end of the second feed inlet 51 are fixedly installed with a third electromagnet 55 that attracts each other by bolts; the end of the baffle 34 away from the chain 33 and the end of the funnel hopper 11 are both fixedly installed with a fourth electromagnet that attracts each other by bolts; the baffle 34 slides against the third feed inlet 52 by a slider.

[0028] By remotely controlling the magnetic force between the two fourth electromagnets, the baffle 34 can be confined to one side of the third feed port 52. When the fourth electromagnet loses its magnetic force, the baffle 34 can be opened from one side of the third feed port 52 by the traction of the motor, thereby allowing the inoculant to flow in accordance with the inner diameter of the third feed port 52. When the fourth electromagnets attract each other, the baffle 34 is confined to one side of the third feed port 52. At this time, by adjusting the magnetic attraction strength between the third electromagnets 55, the inoculant can flow in accordance with the inner diameter of the second feed port 51. By controlling the magnetic attraction strength between the second electromagnets 54, the inoculant can flow in accordance with the inner diameter of the first feed port 5. By controlling the magnetic attraction strength between the first electromagnets 53, the inoculant can flow in accordance with the inner diameter of the bottom of the funnel chamber 1. This achieves the effect of quickly switching the flow rate of inoculant, further improving the efficiency of operators in quickly adjusting the inoculant flow rate according to the needs of different flow rates of inoculant.

[0029] Working principle: During use, the angled design of the funnel nozzle 11 reduces resistance when the motor pulls the baffle 34, further facilitating the motor's pull on the chain 33 and reducing power loss. The support frame 2 around the funnel chamber 1 allows it to be easily positioned above the pouring cup, enabling the inoculant within the funnel chamber 1 to fall from the funnel nozzle 11 into the pouring cup under gravity, and then into the mold cavity containing molten iron for inoculation. A signal receiver 4 located at one end of the top of the funnel chamber 1 allows for convenient remote control by the user. The system operates by controlling the motor with the help of the signal receiver 4. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation and the rotation speed of the motor, the chain 33 pulls the baffle 34 to move below the funnel nozzle 11. By adjusting the amount of opening of the funnel nozzle 11 blocked by the baffle 34, the flow rate of the inoculant can be adjusted. This allows for effective adjustment of the flow rate according to changes in the casting material and the weight of the pour, meeting the control requirements of different flow rates. The sleeve 21, which is movably fitted at the bottom of the support frame 2, is inserted into the positioning holes 24 on the support frame 2 by means of multiple magnetic plugs 23 located on the mounting strip 22. In this process, the magnetic insert 23 and the iron block in the positioning hole 24 attract each other, allowing users to easily and quickly install and remove the sleeve 21 at the bottom of the support frame 2. This allows adjustment of the position of the funnel chamber 1 above different sized pouring cups, enabling in-flow inoculation. Simultaneously, by adjusting the height of the funnel chamber 1 and adjusting the amount of obstruction of the baffle 34 at the funnel nozzle 11 via the motor-driven chain 33, the flow rate of the inoculant can be adjusted. Furthermore, a scale 36 located on the outer side of the funnel chamber 1 near the chain 33 allows the chain 33 to be positioned as it moves. The pointer 35 located on the periphery of the chain 33 moves to one side of the scale 36, allowing the operator to easily observe the flow of the inoculant when remotely controlling the flow rate, so as to adjust the flow rate of the inoculant according to different needs. By remotely controlling the magnetic attraction strength between the two fourth electromagnets, the third electromagnet 55, the second electromagnet 54, and the first electromagnet 53, the flow rate of the inoculant can be quickly switched, further improving the operator's ability to quickly adjust the flow rate of the inoculant according to the needs of different flow rates.
