For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0025] How to ensure that the molten metal accurately flows into the mold shell during the pouring process of the directional solidification crystallization furnace, avoid splashing problems caused by too long or too short flow paths, protect the integrity of components such as the furnace body heater and the heat preservation carbon felt in the solidification crystallization furnace, and reduce the risk of equipment loss.

[0026] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for pouring a directional solidification crystallization furnace, including the following steps: S1. When the vacuum degree in the feeding chamber reaches the process requirement, add the cleaned master alloy into the crucible in the melting chamber through the feeding chamber; S2. Install the filter screen into the slot of the mold shell, place the splash-proof bushing on the sprue cup of the mold shell, then place the mold shell on the crystallizer and close the furnace door; S3. Heat and keep the mold shell warm according to the heating curve specified by the process; S4. After the vacuum degree in the melting chamber meets the standard, melt the master alloy at the maximum power and raise the temperature to the superheat temperature; S5. Insert the thermocouple into the position one-third to one-half downward from the metal liquid surface to measure the temperature; S6. Tilt the crucible for pouring; S7. After standing according to the process regulations, control the pulling speed and pulling time to move the mold shell downward; S8. Stop heating and take out the mold shell, and remove the splash-proof bushing.

[0027] A method for pouring a directional solidification crystallizer according to the present invention solves the problems of furnace body damage of the directional solidification crystallizer caused by metal liquid splashing, process deviation, etc. during the pouring process of the directional solidification crystallizer as a whole by controlling operations such as vacuum degree, heating curve, metal liquid melting, and pouring in stages, and combining the installation and use of the splash-proof bushing, ensuring that the metal liquid can accurately flow into the sprue cup of the mold shell, while reducing the failure rate of the overall equipment and improving the quality of the casting and the stability of the process.

[0028] On the basis of the above, the present invention also provides a splash-proof bushing for pouring a directional solidification crystallizer, and the splash-proof bushing is the splash-proof bushing adopted by the above method for pouring a directional solidification crystallizer; wherein: The size of the splash-proof bushing is adapted to the diameter of the crystallizer; the thickness of the splash-proof bushing is uniform; the splash-proof bushing is made of high-purity graphite material; the part of the splash-proof bushing corresponding to the opening of the mold shell sprue cup matches the shape of the opening of the mold shell sprue cup; the total height of the splash-proof bushing is set according to the size of the crystallizer; As Figure 1 shown, the splash-proof bushing of the present invention is a cylindrical structure, and the cylindrical structure includes a straight cylinder section 1 and a reduced diameter section 2 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The radial dimension of the reduced diameter section 2 gradually decreases along the top-down direction. An extension part 3 is formed on the outer edge of the cylindrical structure at one end of the straight cylinder section 1 far from the reduced diameter section 2. That is, the upper end of the cylindrical structure has a flanging, which can further reduce the sputtering problem that may be caused by the metal liquid entering the opening part of the mold shell sprue cup. The splash-proof bushing suitable for pouring the directional solidification crystallizer provided by the present invention can accurately pour the metal liquid in the crucible into the mold shell, thereby improving the quality of the casting to a certain extent and reducing the loss or damage of the equipment.

[0029] In some embodiments, the splash-proof bushing of the present invention is sized to match the diameter of the mold and has a uniform thickness. It can accommodate molds with diameters of, for example, 200 mm or 400 mm, without requiring additional customization, thereby reducing production costs and ensuring uniform stress on the bushing at high temperatures, thereby avoiding the risk of cracking due to uneven thermal stress. The splash-proof bushing can be made of high-density graphite, which has high thermal conductivity and can quickly dissipate heat, reducing the temperature differential stress between the molten metal and the bushing. It also does not react with the molten metal, preventing impurities from contaminating the molten alloy.

[0030] Furthermore, the lower end of the splash guard bushing of the present invention matches the shape of the mold shell pouring cup opening, ensuring that the molten metal flows directly into the mold shell, avoiding splashing caused by misalignment. The matching shape reduces molten metal overflow and improves pouring efficiency. In some actual working conditions, the total height of the splash guard bushing of the present invention is set according to the size of the crystallizer. The total height of the splash guard bushing is adapted to the crystallizer size and is suitable for mold shells of different heights (such as 350mm and 358mm), avoiding the bushing being too long or too short, which may affect installation stability.

[0031] In addition, the method for directional solidification crystallization furnace casting of the present invention adopts segmented control of the heating curve, which includes upper and lower zone temperature control and insulation stages. Staged heating avoids cracking of the mold shell due to sudden heating, achieves temperature gradient optimization, and ensures the stability of directional solidification of the molten metal.

[0032] Furthermore, the present invention requires refining to a specified temperature after smelting to remove impurities from the molten metal. Pre-pouring parameter checks include checking the molten metal temperature, dross level, and vacuum level. This improves casting quality, preemptively eliminating anomalies such as insufficient temperature and excessive dross, and ensuring a successful casting. Furthermore, in the present method, the withdrawal speed and time are set based on the mold height and process requirements. By adapting these parameters to a mold height of, for example, 350 mm, casting quality can be improved.

[0033] The method for pouring in a directional solidification crystallization furnace and the splash-proof bushing of the present invention are further described in detail below through specific embodiments.
