Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a molten metal lifting and pouring device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The transfer and pouring of molten metal is an indispensable part of the foundry industry, especially for casting manufacturers and small smelting laboratories. This process not only directly affects the quality and production efficiency of the product, but also the safety of the operation. At present, the main problem in the market is that within the pouring volume range of 50-200Kg, companies need to flexibly respond to the pouring needs of different materials, capacities and multiple varieties. However, traditional solutions often find it difficult to meet these requirements at the same time.

[0003] In the case of small-scale pouring (<50Kg), the manual ladle lifting method is widely used due to its flexibility. However, when the pouring volume reaches or exceeds 50Kg, the disadvantages of this method gradually emerge. First, the labor intensity increases significantly, and usually more than four workers are required to work together, which not only increases labor costs, but may also cause congestion on site and increase safety hazards.

[0004] In order to overcome the above problems, some automated equipment has appeared on the market, such as the molten iron pouring robot mentioned in the patent CN108580861A. This type of equipment achieves accurate pouring of molten metal through a cantilever structure, but it also exposes some limitations in practical applications. For example, for those easily oxidized metal materials, such as cast steel and aluminum alloy, impurities are easily mixed into these molten metals during the process of being taken out of the furnace, transported, poured, and during these processes. In addition, oxygen and moisture in the air are also easy to oxidize or pollute the molten metal, thereby affecting product quality.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a molten metal lifting and pouring device and a method of use to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a molten metal lifting and pouring device and a method of use to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0007] The technical solution for achieving the purpose of the present invention is:

[0008] A molten metal lifting and pouring device comprises a lifting assembly, a ladle and an inert gas protection system; the inert gas protection system is arranged on the ladle to provide inert gas protection to the molten metal in the ladle; the ladle is transmission-connected to the lifting assembly, the lifting assembly is transmission-connected to an external pouring crane, the external pouring crane drives the lifting assembly to move, and the movement of the lifting assembly drives the movement of the ladle.

[0013] The hook tip angle of the hook and the included angle of the lifting handle are negative angles of -5 to -10 degrees, which can effectively prevent the pouring handle and the ladle from falling off during the pouring process of the molten metal lifting and pouring device.

[0014] Furthermore, the overall structure of the casting handle is in a "Z" shape, including a main shaft and a handle. The handle is arranged above the main shaft and parallel to the main shaft, and the handle and the main shaft are connected by a connecting rod.

[0015] The pouring handle of the present invention is also provided with a handle, so that when a crane or other equipment fails during any process of placing, transporting or pouring, the pouring bag can be lifted away from the lifting tooling by manually holding the pouring handle at any time to continue to complete subsequent operations, thereby avoiding interruption of production or testing.

[0016] Furthermore, a "concave" shaped buckle is rotatably provided at one end of the handle close to the main shaft, and the "concave" shaped buckle is overlapped with the hanging handle.

[0017] Furthermore, a limiting piece protruding outward is provided on the outer side of the hanging handle, and when overlapping, the "concave" shaped buckle and the hanging handle are overlapped, and the limiting piece limits the "concave" shaped buckle.

[0023] A ladle lifting ring is also provided in the middle of the center line of the side of the ladle. When the ladle is lifted manually, the ladle can be lifted by passing the ladle lifting rod through the ladle lifting ring.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] (1) The molten metal lifting and pouring device of the present invention provides an inert gas protection system on the ladle to protect the molten metal in the ladle with inert gas, thereby preventing impurities from mixing into the molten metal during the process of taking the molten metal out of the furnace, placing it in a container, transporting it, pouring it, and other processes, and can effectively isolate oxygen, moisture, etc. in the air, thereby effectively preventing the molten metal from being oxidized or contaminated.

[0033] (2) The inert gas protection system of the present invention comprises a ventilation ring and an air inlet pipe, wherein the ventilation ring is evenly provided with a plurality of circles of air outlet holes. After the gas enters the ventilation ring through the air inlet pipe, it is evenly released from the air outlet holes of the ventilation ring, forming a protective gas barrier on the ladle, effectively isolating oxygen, moisture, dust, etc., to prevent oxidation or contamination of the molten metal.

[0034] (3) The upper side surface of the inner ring of the vent ring of the present invention is provided with at least one circle of vent holes, forming an inert gas barrier at the top of the ladle to isolate oxygen, moisture, dust, etc. from the outside. The lower side surface of the inner ring of the vent ring of the present invention is provided with at least one circle of vent holes, and gas is blown into the interior of the ladle to form a protective gas layer on the surface of the molten metal in the ladle, which can effectively isolate the air and prevent the molten metal from oxidation.

[0037] (6) The ladle and the pouring handle of the present invention are fastened with fasteners after the boss and the blind hole are clearance-matched, so that the ladle and the pouring handle are firmly connected together. As long as the bosses on both sides of the ladle and the blind holes of the main shaft of the pouring handle are clearance-matched, the molten metal lifting and pouring device can be suitable for ladles containing molten metal of different capacities.

[0038] (7) The present invention provides a traction ring on the ladle, which is connected to the traction ring through a traction rod, so that the staff can control the ladle during the process of placing, transporting, pouring, etc. at a long distance, so that a certain distance is maintained between the staff and the ladle, thereby avoiding the occurrence of safety hazards and reducing personal injury.

[0039] (8) The middle part of the center line of the side of the ladle of the present invention is also stacked with a plurality of ladle lifting rings. When the ladle is lifted manually, the ladle can be lifted by passing the ladle lifting rod through the ladle lifting ring.

[0040] (9) The flow rate of the protective gas introduced into the air inlet pipe of the present invention is Q=v*A*n, wherein v is the air flow velocity of each air outlet, v=20-30 m / s, A is the cross-sectional area of ​​each air outlet, and n is the number of air outlets. By introducing the protective gas with a flow rate of Q into the ventilation ring, the protective gas is ejected from the air outlet at an air flow velocity of v=20-30 m / s, forming a "protective gas wall" on the ladle, which effectively isolates oxygen, moisture, dust, etc. to prevent oxidation or contamination of the molten metal.

[0072] (Method Example)

[0073] A method for using a molten metal lifting and pouring device, comprising the following steps:

[0074] Ⅰ. Connect the blind holes of the main shafts on the two pouring handles 2 with the bosses on both sides of the pouring ladle through clearance fit, and tighten them with fastening bolts to prevent the pouring ladle 3 and the pouring handle 2 from falling off;

[0075] Ⅱ. Hook the two hooks 7 on the lifting fixture 1 to the main shafts of the two pouring handles 2 respectively, and buckle the "concave" buckles 9 on the two pouring handles 2 to the two lifting handles of the lifting fixture 1 and contact the limiter 8, and limit the position through the limiter 8 to form a self-locking;

[0076] Ⅲ. Place the vent ring 5 on the top of the ladle 3, connect the air inlet pipe to the external protective gas transport pipe, and pass the protective gas into the air inlet pipe;

[0077] Ⅳ. Hook the hook 7 of the external pouring crane to the lifting ring 6 on the lifting tool 1, and move the external pouring crane to move the molten metal to lift the pouring device;

[0078] Ⅴ. When the molten metal hoisting pouring device is moved to the holding station and the molten metal is taken out of the furnace, the staff operates the traction rod to keep the ladle stable. At this time, the operator stays away from the ladle and keeps a certain safe distance from the ladle, reducing personal injury;

[0079] VI. When the molten metal lifting and pouring device is moved to the pouring station, the staff only needs to open the "concave" shaped buckle 9 and operate the pouring handle 2 or the traction rod to deflect the pouring ladle to achieve pouring.

[0081] The ladle 3 only needs to satisfy the conditions that the distance between the two bosses is ≤80cm and the total weight is ≤250Kg, so that the molten metal lifting and pouring device can be suitable for ladles 3 containing molten metal of different capacities.

[0082] The shielding gas included argon.

[0083] When a crane or other equipment fails during any of the processes of placing, transporting, and pouring, the staff can lift the pouring bag 2 away from the lifting tool 1 by lifting the handle 15 of the pouring handle 2 to continue the subsequent operations, thus avoiding interruption of production or testing.
