Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention mainly relates to the technical field of aluminum ingot production, and specifically relates to an environmentally friendly aluminum ingot water circulation cooling device. Background Art

[0002] The production method of aluminum ingots is mainly to melt the aluminum first, and then pour the molten aluminum into a designated mold for solidification. When the aluminum ingot is solidified, it is placed in a water tank for water cooling until the aluminum ingot cools to room temperature before being packaged and transported.

[0003] The existing aluminum ingot cooling method is mainly to cool by continuous watering through water circulation, and then send the cooled water to the condenser for cooling, so as to achieve the purpose of water circulation. However, the aluminum ingot in the prior art is usually placed in a horizontally arranged water tank, and then cooling water is introduced on one side, and then the cooling water is used to cool the aluminum ingot in turn.

[0004] However, when this method is used to cool the aluminum ingots, the aluminum ingots with low temperature at the front of the water tank first come into contact with the cooling water with low temperature, and the aluminum ingots with high temperature at the back come into contact with the cooling water with higher temperature. However, the higher the temperature of the object, the better the heat conversion efficiency, and the lower the temperature, the worse the heat conversion efficiency. Therefore, the cooling effect of the cooling water with lower temperature at the front on the aluminum ingots with lower temperature is average, and the cooling water temperature is already high when the aluminum ingots with higher temperature at the back come into contact with the cooling water, which reduces the cooling rate of the aluminum ingots with high temperature at the back, thereby slowing down the cooling rate of the aluminum ingots in the water tank. In addition, it consumes more electricity to completely cool the cooling water from high temperature to low temperature. Therefore, a new type of environmentally friendly aluminum ingot water circulation cooling device is needed. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention aims at the technical problem that the existing technical solution is too single, and provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology. It mainly provides an environmentally friendly aluminum ingot water circulation cooling device to solve the technical problems of slow cooling speed of aluminum ingots in the water tank and high power consumption of cooling water in the existing technology raised in the above background technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is: An environmentally friendly aluminum ingot water circulation cooling device comprises an inclined conveying channel, wherein the conveying channel discharge port and the conveying channel feed port are respectively arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the conveying channel, a partition is installed in the conveying channel to divide the interior of the conveying channel into multiple areas, each of the divided areas in the conveying channel is provided with a conveying member, a plurality of driving members are installed in the partition, the driving members are in contact with the conveying member, the upper surface of each divided area of ​​the conveying pipeline is connected and communicated with a cooling member, an adjustment control is installed on the upper surface of the conveying channel, and the adjustment control is electrically connected to the cooling member.

[0007] Preferably, the separator includes a plurality of separator blocks which divide the conveying channel into a plurality of areas, and each of the separator blocks has a through groove for the conveying member to pass through on one side opposite to the other, a water pipe is installed on the rear side of the conveying channel, a plurality of water holes are provided between the water pipe and the conveying channel, an L-shaped hole is provided on the side of the separator block in contact with the water pipe, a plurality of separator plates are installed in the water pipe, and the water holes, L-shaped holes and separator plates are arranged alternately in sequence.

[0008] Preferably, the conveying member comprises a conveying frame, the conveying frame is slidably connected in the conveying channel, a groove is provided on the side of the conveying frame facing the water pipe, a rack is installed in the groove, and the driving member is in contact with the rack.

[0009] Preferably, the driving member includes a gear rod, which is meshed with a rack. A round rod that penetrates the conveying channel and extends into the water flow pipe is installed at one end of the gear rod away from the rack. The round rod is rotatably connected in the water flow pipe, and a plurality of rotating blades arranged equidistantly in an annular manner are installed on the annular surface of the round rod in the water flow pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the cooling component includes a plurality of condensers arranged in sequence from the feed port of the conveying channel to the discharge port of the conveying channel, the water inlet ends of the plurality of condensers are communicated with the drain ends of adjacent condensers, the condenser close to the feed port of the conveying channel is communicated with the water pool at the feed port of the conveying channel, a drain pipe is connected and communicated inside the condenser, one end of the drain pipe away from the condenser is connected and communicated with the conveying channel, the drain pipe and the partition blocks are alternately arranged, an electromagnetic valve is installed in the drain pipe, and the conveying electromagnetic valve is electrically connected to the regulating control unit.

[0011] Preferably, the control unit includes an exhaust channel, which is installed on the upper surface of the conveying channel. A plurality of exhaust holes are opened between the conveying channel and the exhaust channel. The exhaust holes and drain pipes are arranged alternately. A steam control switch is installed in the exhaust hole, and the steam control switch is electrically connected to the solenoid valve.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By arranging the conveying channel at an angle, the water flow can move slowly from the discharge port to the feed port and cool down the aluminum ingots passing along the way in sequence, and also avoid reducing the overflow of water in the conveying channel when the aluminum ingots at the discharge port are taken out after cooling. At the same time, since the exhaust channel is arranged at an angle upward on the upper surface of the conveying channel, the steam generated after the water contacts the aluminum ingot enters the exhaust channel through the exhaust hole and moves upward, reducing the probability of the steam generated below re-entering the upper conveying channel, increasing the heat of the aluminum ingot taken away by the steam and increasing the cooling speed of the aluminum ingot.

[0013] 2. The amount of steam generated is used to control the size of the solenoid valve opening. When the temperature of the aluminum ingot reaches the high or low temperature between the two partition blocks during the water circulation cooling process, the solenoid valve can control the adjustment of the solenoid valve opening size according to the amount of steam generated there, so that the cooling of the aluminum ingot in the area between the two partition blocks can be automatically adjusted. At the same time, when the amount of additional cooling water discharged into this area changes, the driving structure composed of the gear rod, round rod and rotating rod also changes the conveying speed of the conveyor rack, so that the subsequent movement speed of the aluminum ingot meets the characteristics of faster movement speed when the cooling water flow is large and slower movement speed when the cooling water flow is small, ensuring that the temperature of each area between the two partition blocks is set for the area when passing through the area.

[0014] 3. By discharging the cooling water in the condenser into the conveying channel at the corresponding position through the drain pipe, the aluminum ingots that are closer to the feed port of the conveying channel and have higher temperatures can obtain more cooling water for cooling, so that the aluminum ingots with high temperature and high thermal conversion efficiency at this location can be cooled faster. At the same time, since the water temperature in the condenser is higher near the feed port of the conveying channel, the water cooling speed is also faster. The less water there is in the condenser near the feed port of the conveying channel, the lower the energy consumption of the condenser at this location, thereby achieving the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection.

[0021] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-3 An environmentally friendly aluminum ingot water circulation cooling device comprises an inclined conveying channel 1, wherein the discharge port of the conveying channel 1 is arranged at the upper end of the conveying channel 1, and the feed port of the conveying channel 1 is arranged at the lower end of the conveying channel 1. A plurality of partition blocks 2 for dividing the conveying channel 1 into a plurality of areas are installed in the conveying channel 1, and through grooves 11 are provided on the opposite sides of the partition blocks 2, a water pipe 5 is installed at the rear side of the conveying channel 1, a plurality of water holes 4 are provided between the water pipe 5 and the conveying channel 1, an L-shaped hole 10 is provided on the side where the partition block 2 contacts the water pipe 5, and a plurality of partition plates 14 are installed in the water pipe 5, and the water holes 4, the L-shaped holes 10 and the partition plates 14 are arranged alternately in sequence.

[0022] A conveying frame 16 is provided in each area separated in the conveying channel 1. The conveying frame 16 is slidably connected in the conveying channel 1, and both ends of the conveying frame 16 are inserted into the through grooves 11 opened on the dividing blocks 2. The through grooves 11 are blocked by conveying members to prevent water from directly passing through the through grooves 11 to enter between the two dividing blocks 2 below, so that the water can only enter between the two dividing blocks 2 below through the water flow holes 4 and the L-shaped holes 10. A groove is provided on the side of the conveying frame 16 facing the water flow pipe 5, and a rack 15 is installed in the groove, and a gear rod 3 is meshed on the rack 15. A round rod 13 that penetrates the conveying channel 1 and extends into the water flow pipe 5 is installed at one end of the gear rod 3 away from the rack 15. The round rod 13 is rotatably connected in the water flow pipe 5, and a plurality of rotating blades 12 arranged equidistantly in an annular manner are installed on the annular surface of the round rod 13 in the water flow pipe 5.

[0023] When water flows into the water pipe 5 from the water hole 4, it will contact the rotating blade 12. The rotating blade 12 rotates under the drive of the water flow, thereby driving the round rod 13 and the gear rod 3 to rotate, so that the conveying frame 16 moves under the drive of the gear rod 3 to convey the aluminum ingot.

[0024] A plurality of condensers 17 are arranged outside the conveying pipeline, and the plurality of condensers 17 are arranged in sequence from the feed port of the conveying channel 1 to the discharge port of the conveying channel 1, and then the water inlet ends of the plurality of condensers 17 are connected in sequence with the drainage ends of adjacent condensers 17, the condenser 17 near the feed port of the conveying channel 1 is connected with the water pool at the feed port of the conveying channel 1, and a drainage pipe 7 is connected inside the condenser 17, and one end of the drainage pipe 7 away from the condenser 17 is connected with the conveying channel 1, and the drainage pipe 7 and the partition block 2 are arranged alternately, and then a solenoid valve 8 is installed in the drainage pipe 7.

[0025] An exhaust channel 6 is installed on the upper surface of the delivery channel 1, and a plurality of exhaust holes for exhausting steam are opened between the delivery channel 1 and the exhaust channel 6. The exhaust holes are alternately arranged with the drain pipe 7, and a steam control switch 9 is installed in the exhaust holes. The steam control switch 9 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 8. The function of the steam control switch 9 is to control the opening size of the solenoid valve 8 according to the steam amount, thereby adjusting the water flow in the drain pipe 7.

[0026] The specific operation process of the present invention is as follows: put the aluminum ingot on the rack, then put the conveying rack 16 into the conveying channel 1 from the feed port of the conveying channel 1 and make the rack 15 mesh with the gear rod 3. When the water flow in the conveying channel 1 flows from the discharge port of the conveying channel 1 to the feed port of the conveying channel 1, the water flow drives the rotating blade 12 to rotate, the rotating blade 12 drives the round rod 13 to rotate, the round rod 13 drives the gear rod 3 to rotate, and the gear rod 3 rotates to move the conveying rack 16 toward the discharge port of the conveying channel 1.

[0027] Since the higher the temperature of the aluminum ingot, the faster the thermal conversion efficiency, the upper surface of the conveying channel 1 between every two partition blocks 2 is connected to the drain pipe 7. The closer the temperature of the aluminum ingot is to the feed port of the conveying channel 1, the higher the temperature of the aluminum ingot is. Therefore, the more water it contacts, the faster the cooling rate of the aluminum ingot. The water at the feed port of the conveying channel 1 has the highest temperature after thermal conversion with the aluminum ingot. Therefore, the condenser 17 here takes away the most heat when cooling the water. The lower the water temperature, the worse the cooling effect of the condenser 17 on the water. At the same time, the lower the temperature of the aluminum ingot, the lower the temperature of the cooling water. Even a small amount of cooling water can cool the low-temperature aluminum ingot. Therefore, part of the water in the condenser 17 connected thereto is directly passed into the conveying channel 1 through multiple drain pipes 7 in turn, so that the condenser 17 closer to the discharge port of the conveying channel 1 requires less cooling water, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the condenser 17, thereby saving electricity.

[0028] At the same time, the closer to the feed port of the conveying channel 1, the more water there is. The water flow is used here to drive the rotating blades 12 to rotate, thereby driving the conveying frame 16 to move faster, so that the conveying speed of the aluminum ingot changes automatically with the temperature of the aluminum ingot.

[0029] A plurality of exhaust holes for exhausting steam are opened between the conveying channel 1 and the exhaust channel 6, and a steam control switch 9 for controlling the opening size of the solenoid valve 8 is installed in the exhaust hole. After the aluminum ingot enters the conveying channel 1, it contacts with the water flow and is cooled. As the cooling continues, the aluminum ingot gradually moves from the feed port end of the conveying channel 1 to the discharge port end of the conveying channel 1. Since the drainage speed of the drain pipe 7 between every two partition blocks 2 is the same, the temperature of each aluminum ingot is relatively consistent when it moves between two partition blocks 2 at the same position, and the amount of steam generated after contacting the water flow is also relatively consistent.

[0030] The opening size of the solenoid valve 8 is set in advance according to the amount of steam generated by each aluminum ingot passing through. Then, when the subsequent aluminum ingot arrives at this place, if the amount of steam generated is greater than the relative amount, it means that the temperature of the aluminum ingot is low at this time. Therefore, by reducing the opening of the solenoid valve 8 at this place, the amount of water flowing into the drain pipe 7 is reduced, so that the cooling speed of the aluminum ingot at this place is slowed down, so that when it reaches the next pair of partition blocks 2, the temperature reaches the constant temperature set for the area. Conversely, the drainage volume is increased so that when it reaches the next pair of partition blocks 2, the temperature reaches the constant temperature set for the area. When the temperature of the aluminum ingot at this place is low, the water flow discharged from the drain pipe 7 is reduced, thereby resulting in a reduction in the water flow required for cooling the subsequent aluminum ingots. In order to avoid the subsequent aluminum ingots having a high temperature when arriving at this place, when the water flow is reduced at this time, the next movement of the conveying rack 16 driven by the rotating blade 12 will be reduced, so that the next aluminum ingot has more cooling time, thereby balancing the heat that cannot be taken away due to the reduction in water flow.

[0031] Since the entire conveying channel 1 is arranged upwardly and tilted, the water flow at the feed port of the evacuation channel will move toward the feed port of the conveying channel 1 to prevent the aluminum ingot from carrying the water out when moving out of the discharge port of the conveying channel 1, thereby avoiding water waste. At the same time, the exhaust channel 6 for steam to pass through is also arranged upwardly and tilted. Therefore, when the steam moves from the feed port of the conveying channel 1 to the discharge port of the conveying channel 1 and passes into the outside world, the amount of steam re-entering the conveying channel 1 through the exhaust hole is reduced, thereby avoiding affecting the cooling of the aluminum ingot. On the contrary, the steam takes away the heat generated during the cooling process of the aluminum ingot to accelerate the cooling of the aluminum ingot.

[0032] The above is an exemplary description of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings. It is obvious that the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned method. As long as such non-substantial improvements are made by adopting the method concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
