Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of zinc alloy continuous casting, and in particular to a zinc alloy continuous casting rapid prototyping device. Background Art

[0002] Zinc alloys are zinc-based alloys with added elements, commonly aluminum, copper, magnesium, cadmium, lead, and titanium. They have a low melting point, good fluidity, and are easily welded, brazed, and plastically processed. They are corrosion-resistant in the atmosphere, and scrap can be easily recycled and remelted. However, they exhibit low creep strength and are susceptible to dimensional changes caused by natural aging. They are prepared by melting and then die-cast or press-formed. Zinc alloys can be categorized by manufacturing process into cast zinc alloys and wrought zinc alloys. Cast zinc alloys offer excellent fluidity and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for die-casting instruments, automotive parts, and other applications.

[0003] Continuous casting is a common process used in the production and processing of zinc alloys. Continuous casting is an advanced casting method in which molten metal is continuously poured into a special metal mold called a crystallizer. The solidified (crusted) casting is then continuously pulled from the other end of the crystallizer. This method allows for castings of arbitrary or specific lengths. The development of continuous casting is a key tool for structural optimization in my country's metallurgical industry. It will fundamentally change the current low efficiency and high consumption of metal material production in my country and promote the development of specialized product structures. The development of advanced continuous casting technologies, such as near-net-shape continuous casting, single-crystal continuous casting, high-efficiency continuous casting, and hot delivery and charging of continuous ingots, is expected to be very active and will drive the research and development of a range of new materials.

[0004] During the continuous casting of zinc alloys, it is often necessary to dissipate heat from the cast workpiece to achieve rapid prototyping. Currently, the workpiece is usually placed directly into a cooling pool for cooling. However, during the long casting process, the temperature in the cooling pool tends to rise, which reduces the speed of workpiece prototyping. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: At present, the workpiece is usually placed directly into the cooling pool for cooling; however, during the casting process of long whiskers, the temperature in the cooling pool tends to rise, and therefore, the speed of workpiece forming will be reduced.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a zinc alloy continuous casting rapid prototyping device, comprising a tank body and a continuous casting mechanism installed on the tank body, and further comprising: A box body, wherein a plurality of the box bodies are evenly spaced along the height direction of the pool body and fixedly mounted on one side of the pool body; an opening is provided at the upper end of the box body, and a plurality of water diversion holes are evenly provided at the lower end of the box body; so that the liquid in the upper box body flows into the lower box body through the water diversion holes; a liquid storage tank, the upper end of which is open and the liquid storage tank is arranged below the plurality of box bodies; and A conveying mechanism for pumping the liquid in the liquid storage tank into the tank body; Wherein, an overflow port is provided on the pool body, so that the liquid in the pool body overflows into the box body above through the overflow port.

[0007] Preferably, it further comprises a rapid cooling mechanism, which rapidly cools down the liquids in the plurality of boxes.

[0008] Preferably, the rapid cooling mechanism includes: a cooling pipe, a connecting pipe, a radiator and a circulating pump body; a cooling pipe is installed in each of the box bodies, and the cooling pipe is arranged along the length direction of the box body; multiple cooling pipes are connected in sequence through connecting pipes to form a circulating cooling channel, and the circulating pump body and radiator are installed on the circulating cooling channel.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a partition plate, and each box body is fixedly installed with two partition plates arranged parallel to each other, the partition plates are arranged in the vertical direction, and the two partition plates are respectively located on both sides of the cooling pipe, and the upper end of one of the partition plates is spaced apart from the upper end of the box body, and the lower end of the other partition plate is spaced apart from the lower end of the box body, so as to divide the box body into an S-shaped deflection channel; and the side of the deflection channel with a space close to the lower end of the partition plate is the water inlet end, and the side of the deflection channel with a space close to the upper end of the partition plate is the water outlet end, the water inlet of the deflection channel is arranged on the side close to the overflow port, and the water diversion hole is arranged at the water outlet end of the deflection channel.

[0010] Preferably, it further comprises a guide plate, which is installed at the lower end of the box body to guide the liquid left by the water diversion hole to the water inlet end of the deflection channel below.

[0011] Preferably, the delivery mechanism comprises: a delivery pump body and a delivery pipeline; both ends of the delivery pipeline are respectively connected to the liquid storage tank and the tank body, and the delivery pump body is installed on the delivery pipeline.

[0012] Preferably, it further comprises a shower pipe, which is installed in the pool body, has a plurality of water outlets opened in the length direction of the shower pipe, and is connected to the water outlet of the delivery pipeline.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages: 1. Control the action of the conveying mechanism, which draws the liquid in the liquid storage tank into the pool body, so that the liquid in the pool body overflows into the box body above through the overflow port, and then evenly flows the liquid into the next box body through the water diversion hole until the liquid flows back to the liquid storage tank; for this reason, the flow of liquid in the overflow port and the water diversion hole can increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the liquid, increase the heat dissipation speed of the liquid, and then ensure that the zinc alloy workpiece can be quickly formed when cooling the zinc alloy workpiece.

[0014] 2. Control the action of the circulating pump body. The circulating pump body drives the coolant to circulate in the circulating cooling channel. The coolant absorbs the heat in the liquid in the box through the cooling pipe and dissipates heat through the radiator. Therefore, the speed of liquid cooling can be further accelerated.

[0015] 3.
