Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an argon gas holder for a gas supply system. Background Technology

[0002] In the purification process of aluminum melt, continuous ladle treatment is a key technology for improving the quality of aluminum alloy products. The degassing box, under sealed conditions, maintains a constant temperature and stirring, and is refined using inert gas, resulting in excellent purification and degassing effects and stable quality. After online refining, the material can be directly fed into the casting machine for molding, avoiding secondary contamination. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for separate processing time, improving production efficiency. However, existing online degassing boxes have incomplete functions, and experience has shown that some functions are impractical. The cumbersome piping layout increases the difficulty of operation and troubleshooting, and the complexity of the piping also makes operator training difficult. Moreover, existing online degassing boxes require frequent adjustments to the pipeline pressure settings, and the switching speed between high and low pressure is slow. Therefore, the existing online degassing box needs to be modified. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of complex pipeline layout and slow high-low pressure switching speed of existing online degassing boxes, and to propose an argon gas holder for the degassing box gas supply system in aluminum ingot casting furnace refining.

[0004] The present invention relates to an argon gas holder for an aluminum ingot casting ladle refining and degassing box gas supply system, the argon gas holder comprising an argon gas holder body, a first ball valve, and two gas supply lines;

[0005] The first ball valve and the two gas supply lines are respectively installed inside the gas holder body; wherein, the first ball valve is installed on the argon gas main pipeline, and the two gas supply lines are respectively connected to the gas outlet of the argon gas main pipeline, and the two gas supply lines are used to supply argon gas in the argon gas main pipeline to rotor No. 1 and rotor No. 2 respectively.

[0006] The two gas supply lines have the same structure. Each gas supply line includes a pressure reducing valve, a processing throttle valve, an idle speed throttle valve, an electromagnetic switch, a flow meter, a pressure gauge, and a pressure sensor.

[0007] The pressure reducing valve inlet is connected to the outlet of the argon main pipeline, and the pressure reducing valve outlet is also connected to the inlet of the processing throttle valve and the inlet of the idle speed throttle valve; the processing throttle valve outlet is connected to the inlet of the electromagnetic switch.

[0008] The inlet of the flow meter is connected to the outlet of the electromagnetic switch and the outlet of the idle speed throttle valve; the outlet of the flow meter is connected to the inlet of the first rotor through a pressure gauge and a pressure sensor; the pressure gauge is used to measure the resistance of the outlet of the first rotor; the pressure sensor is used for pressure fault alarm.

[0009] Furthermore, each gas supply line also includes a second ball valve;

[0010] The second ball valve is installed on the pipeline between the first ball valve and the pressure reducing valve.

[0011] Furthermore, the model number of the electromagnetic switch is: VX230DA.24V.

[0012] Furthermore, the pressure reducing valve is model AR3000-03; the pressure regulating range of the pressure reducing valve 2 is 0 MPa to 0.8 MPa.

[0013] Furthermore, a pressure sensor 8 is installed on the pipeline at the outlet of the pressure reducing valve;

[0014] The pressure sensor is model number 3C-1S10-01.

[0015] Furthermore, the flow meter model is: LZDC-GZB-15 / J1 / RO / M1316 / N / N / G / H1, and the flow meter's measurement range is from 0 cubic meters per hour to 6 cubic meters per hour.

[0016] Furthermore, the model number of the throttle valve is: PF2A521-03-1.

[0017] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Argon gas enters the gas supply branches of the two rotors through the main gas supply pipeline, and after being reduced to 0.2M by the pressure reducing valve, it is delivered to the speed regulation circuit. The speed regulation circuit has an idle speed circuit, which is normally open after adjustment. The processing status is controlled by an electromagnetic switch to open and close it in the idle state and open it in the processing state. The flow meter displays the flow value, which is convenient for observation when adjusting the flow. The pressure gauge is used to sense the resistance of the rotor outlet, which is convenient for monitoring the rotor flow status. In addition, four pressure sensors are added to the pipeline for pressure fault alarm, which can well ensure the normal supply of argon gas, thereby protecting the quality of the melt.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0019] First, the working principle of this argon gas cabinet is simple and clear, making it easy to train operators and for maintenance personnel to quickly troubleshoot problems and repair or replace components on the pipeline.

[0020] Second, a flow meter is used, which allows for precise control of the flow rate.

[0021] Third, a pressure sensor has been added to facilitate the setting of alarm devices, which can effectively alert operators to timely handling of pressure fluctuations.

[0022] IV. Once the pressure value is set, it does not require frequent adjustments, and the switching speed between high and low pressure is fast; the gas supply is stable, and the yield of produced aluminum alloy is increased by 5%. Attached Figure Description
