Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of aluminum ingot cooling devices, and in particular to an aluminum ingot forming cooling device. Background Art

[0002] After the aluminum block is melted into a molten state, it is poured into a molding container and cooled to be cast into an aluminum ingot. However, the molded aluminum ingot still has a large amount of heat.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0030] For example, see Figures 1 to 8 The present embodiment provides an aluminum ingot forming cooling device, comprising a cooling trough 1, a feeding plate 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the cooling trough 1, a conveying assembly 3 for conveying the aluminum ingot is installed on the feeding plate 2, the conveying assembly 3 comprises a rotating shaft 31 symmetrically rotatably connected to the feeding plate 2 through a bearing, one end of the rotating shaft 31 away from the sprocket 32 ​​extends to the side wall of the cooling trough 1 and is rotatably connected to the side wall of the cooling trough 1 through a bearing, a sprocket 32 ​​is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 31, a chain 33 is transmission-connected between the two sprockets 32, and an annular conveying track 34 is fixed to the end of the feeding plate 2 close to the chain 33, The outer wall of the annular conveying track 34 is slidably installed with moving blocks 35 at equal intervals, and the moving blocks 35 are connected to the chain 33. A carrier plate 36 for carrying aluminum ingots is fixed on the moving block 35, and a groove 37 for accommodating the aluminum ingots is formed on one side of the carrier plate 36. A worm gear 381 is fixed to the end of a rotating shaft 31 on one side away from the sprocket 32, and a worm 382 is rotatably connected to the side of the feeding plate 2 close to the worm gear 381 through a bearing, and the worm 382 is meshed with the worm wheel 381, and a first motor 383 is fixed to the side of the feeding plate 2 close to the worm 382, ​​and the end of the worm 382 is fixed to the output end of the first motor 383.

[0031] When conveying the aluminum ingot, the aluminum ingot is placed in the groove 37 and fixed in the groove 37, and then the first motor 383 is driven to rotate, which drives the worm 382 to rotate, and the worm wheel 381 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 31 rotates, the sprocket 32 ​​rotates, and the chain 33 is driven, and the chain 33 causes multiple carriers 36 to be conveyed, and the carriers 36 are conveyed to the bottom of the chain 33 so that the aluminum ingot enters the liquid surface in the cooling tank 1 for cooling, and after the cooling is completed, the carriers 36 are conveyed to the top of the chain 33 for drainage;

[0032] A clamping assembly 4 for clamping the aluminum ingot is installed inside the groove 37. The clamping assembly 4 includes a clamping bar 41 slidably installed on the inner wall of the groove 37. A threaded sleeve 42 is fixed in the middle of the clamping bar 41. A screw 43 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove 37 through a bearing. The screw 43 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 42. One end of the screw 43 away from the threaded sleeve 42 passes through the carrier plate 36 and extends to the outer side of the carrier plate 36. A knob 44 is fixed thereto. A cross groove 45 is provided on the side of the knob 44 away from the screw 43.

[0033] After the aluminum ingot is placed inside the groove 37, the screw 43 is rotated by turning the knob 44, so that the threaded sleeve 42 can push the clamping bar 41 to slide on the inner wall of the groove 37, and the aluminum ingot is clamped by the clamping bar 41 and the inner wall of the groove 37 to complete the clamping work;

[0034] A driving assembly 5 for driving the clamping assembly 4 to work is fixed on the cooling groove 1. The driving assembly 5 includes a support member 51 fixed on the outer wall of the cooling groove 1. A moving bar 52 is slidably installed on the top of the support member 51. A movable rod 53 is symmetrically slidably installed on the movable bar 52 through a sliding hole. A push block 54 is fixed at one end of the two movable rods 53. The side of the push block 54 close to one end of the chain 33 is arranged in an inclined shape. The side of the push block 54 away from the movable rod 53 is rotatably connected to an unlocking rod 55 through a bearing. The end of the unlocking rod 55 close to the cross groove 45 is arranged in a cross shape. The push block 54 is close to the cross groove 45. A second motor 56 is fixed to one end of the unlocking rod 55, and one end of the unlocking rod 55 close to the second motor 56 is fixed to the output end of the second motor 56. A spring 57 is sleeved on the outer side of the movable rod 53, and one end of the spring 57 is pressed and contacted with the outer wall of the moving bar 52, and the other end of the spring 57 is pressed and contacted with the outer wall of the pushing block 54. A limiting ring 58 is fixed to one end of the movable rod 53 away from the pushing block 54, and the limiting ring 58 is pressed and contacted with the outer wall of the moving block 35. An electric push rod 59 is fixed to the outer wall of the support member 51, and the protruding end of the electric push rod 59 is fixed to the outer wall of the moving bar 52.

[0035] Each time the first motor 383 conveys the aluminum ingot, it rotates a fixed number of times intermittently, so that all the carriers 36 move a fixed distance each time, thereby realizing the intermittent conveying of the aluminum ingot. Each time the aluminum ingot is conveyed to the right place, the electric push rod 59 extends out to push the moving block 35 to slide along the surface of the support 51 toward the side close to the aluminum ingot. During the sliding process, the inclined surface of the pushing block 54 first contacts the side of the carrier 36. As the moving block 35 continues to slide, the side of the pushing block 54 that is away from the spring 57 gradually fits the side of the carrier 36. At this time, the unlocking rod 55 is facing the cross groove 45. Then the electric push rod 59 continues to extend until the end of the unlocking rod 55 is inserted into the cross groove 45. Then the second motor 56 rotates, driving the unlocking rod 55 to rotate and driving the knob 44 to rotate, so that the screw 43 can rotate, driving the clamping bar 41 to move, and completing the clamping and releasing work.

[0036] Even if the first motor 383 rotates a fixed number of times each time, so that the carrier 36 moves intermittently each time, the transmission of the sprocket 32 ​​and the chain 33 cannot guarantee that there is no gap 100%, so the carrier 36 will not reach the specified position very accurately each time, and there will be a certain amount of deviation. Therefore, a movable push block 54 is provided to ensure that the push block 54 can be pressed against the side of the carrier 36 each time, and then the unlocking rod 55 can be inserted into the cross groove 45 to rotate the knob 44 each time;

[0037] A trapezoidal slide rail 6 is fixed to the bottom of the moving bar 52, and a trapezoidal slide groove 7 is provided on the top of the support member 51. The trapezoidal slide rail 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the trapezoidal slide groove 7, completing the sliding connection between the moving bar 52 and the support member 51, so that the Shudie moving bar 52 can slide stably and smoothly;

[0038] In summary, the present invention can realize the cyclic and uninterrupted conveying and cooling of aluminum ingots by setting up the conveying component 3, and the aluminum ingots are stably clamped on the conveying component 3 for conveying through the clamping component 4 without displacement between the conveying component 3, so that the aluminum ingots can stably enter and exit the cooling trough 1, thereby ensuring the efficiency of conveying and cooling the aluminum ingots; the provided clamping component 4 can complete the clamping and fixing work of a variety of different aluminum ingots, so that the entire device can convey and cool aluminum ingots of various specifications, and the adaptability of the device is improved; the driving work of multiple clamping components 4 is completed by setting up the driving component 5, so that the clamping component 4 does not need to be separately configured with a power source, which greatly reduces the investment in power equipment, and thus reduces the production and manufacturing and operation and maintenance costs of the entire equipment.

[0039] For example 2, please refer to Fig. 9This embodiment provides a further technical solution based on the first embodiment. A top cover 8 is fixed to the upper end of the cooling trough 1, and a plurality of integrated fans 9 are fixed at equal intervals on the top cover 8. When the aluminum ingot is cooled and transported to the top of the chain 33 for draining, the integrated fan 9 blows air toward the aluminum ingot, which can speed up the draining of water and improve the processing efficiency.
