Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of continuous alloy casting technology, and in particular to continuous alloy casting equipment and casting process. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the metal alloy smelting and casting industry generally adopts semi-automated or manually-interventional production methods, with significant technical bottlenecks, particularly in key areas such as raw material weighing, alloy proportioning, temperature control, and traction speed. The demand for precise control and automation of the production process is increasing. In alloy casting, raw materials and auxiliary materials are fed into a crucible in a specific ratio for melting, and then the alloy solution is cooled and extracted through a crystallizer to achieve the alloy casting effect.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN201760583U discloses a vacuum melting aluminum casting furnace, which includes a worktable with a melting chamber on the worktable and a mold discharge chamber below the melting chamber. A tilting pouring mechanism is located within the melting chamber, and a crystallizer and lifting mechanism are located at the bottom of the melting chamber and in the mold discharge chamber. Its unique feature is that a crystallizing ring is located within the melting chamber, diagonally below the tilting pouring mechanism and corresponding to the crystallizer and lifting mechanism, with the crystallizer situated within the crystallizing ring. The crystallizing ring has an upper and lower split structure, and a spiral water jacket is located within it. An electromagnetic attractor is installed between the upper and lower parts of the crystallizing ring. Its beneficial effects include: improved aluminum purity, reduced atmospheric pollution of aluminum, and the ability to achieve directional solidification of aluminum without the need for a mold, resulting in dense aluminum single crystals with strong mechanical properties.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, existing technologies utilize a melting crucible to melt aluminum, pour the molten aluminum into a crystallization ring, and then achieve the effect of casting aluminum through the cooperation of a water inlet pipe, lead screw, support plate, and lead screw nut. However, the melting crucible is located in the melting chamber, and casting can only be carried out in batches. It is impossible to continuously supply material to the melting crucible. The melting chamber needs to be reopened for the next batch of casting, which increases the number of aluminum casting steps, prolongs the casting time of the casting furnace, and reduces the casting efficiency of the casting equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to improve the casting efficiency of casting equipment, this application provides an alloy continuous casting equipment and its casting process.

[0006] The alloy continuous casting equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A continuous alloy casting device includes a frame, a furnace, and a crucible. The furnace is connected to the frame and has an opening at its top. Heating elements are installed on the side walls of the furnace, and a slag discharge channel and a sealing component for blocking the slag discharge channel are provided at its bottom. The crucible is installed inside the furnace and has a slag discharge port. A control valve for controlling the slag discharge port is provided on the furnace. The top of the furnace and the crucible are sealed together, and an inert gas is filled between the furnace and the crucible. The top of the crucible is open and has a heating zone and a holding zone. A partition plate connects the heating zone and the holding zone. A material feeding channel is provided at the bottom of the partition plate, and a gate plate passes through the partition plate. A moving component for driving the gate plate to move vertically is provided on the frame. The frame also has a conveying mechanism for conveying raw materials to the heating zone, a pushing component for pushing auxiliary materials to the heating zone, and a continuous casting component for continuously casting the alloy solution into shape in the holding zone.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, during casting, a specified amount of raw material is transported to the heating zone via a conveying mechanism, and a specified amount of auxiliary material is transported to the heating zone via a pushing component. The heating element is energized, and through thermal radiation, the crucible is uniformly heated to a specified temperature, melting the raw material and auxiliary material into an alloy solution. A moving component drives the gate to rise, allowing the alloy solution to flow into the holding zone. Then, a continuous casting component casts the molten alloy solution into a columnar rod. During this process, the material feeding channel is closed, and a specified amount of raw material and auxiliary material continues to be transported to the heating zone. After melting, the gate is opened again, and the above operation is repeated, achieving the effect of continuous casting of alloy rods. By melting the raw material and auxiliary material into an alloy solution in the heating zone and continuously supplying the holding zone with alloy solution through opening and closing the gate, continuous casting of alloy rods is achieved. Compared with existing technologies, this reduces the number of alloy solution casting operation steps, shortens the casting time of the casting equipment, and improves the casting efficiency of the casting equipment.

[0009] Optionally, the raw material is plate-shaped. The conveying mechanism includes a placement box, a transfer component, a suction component, and a gripping component. The placement box is connected to the frame and has an opening at the top. Plate-shaped raw materials are stacked inside the placement box. The suction component includes a connecting frame, a connecting plate, suction cups, and an installation box. Two mobile carts are mounted on the frame. Each mobile cart has a lifting frame and a first lifting component that drives the lifting frame to move vertically. The connecting frame is connected to one of the lifting frames. The installation box is connected to the connecting frame and contains an air pump. The connecting plate is connected to the bottom of the connecting frame via a chain. Several suction cups are vertically mounted on the connecting plate and are connected to the air pump. The transfer component is located on the frame between the placement box and the furnace. The transfer component is used to adjust the angle of the plate-shaped raw material. The gripping component is connected to the lifting frame of the other mobile cart and is used to grip the plate-shaped raw material after the angle has been adjusted.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the plate-shaped raw materials are stacked in the placement box. The first lifting component on the mobile vehicle drives the connecting frame to descend, which in turn drives the connecting plate to descend until the suction cup adheres to the surface of the plate-shaped raw materials. The air pump is used to create negative pressure inside the suction cup to suck up the plate-shaped raw materials until they are transported to the transfer component. The transfer component flips the plate-shaped raw materials to a specified angle, and another mobile vehicle drives the gripping component to grab the plate-shaped raw materials into the heating zone, thus realizing the transportation of the plate-shaped raw materials.

[0011] Optionally, the gripping assembly includes a mounting frame, a push cylinder, a fixing plate, and a clamping jaw. The mounting frame is connected to the bottom of the lifting frame of another mobile vehicle. The fixing plate is connected to the side wall of the mounting frame. The clamping jaw is rotatably connected to the mounting frame. One end of the push cylinder is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame, and its output end is rotatably connected to one end of the clamping jaw. When gripping the plate-shaped material, the plate-shaped material is located between the other end of the clamping jaw and the fixing plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when gripping the plate-shaped material, the first lifting component on another mobile vehicle drives the mounting frame to descend until the top of the plate-shaped material is between the clamping claw and the fixed plate. Then, the push cylinder is activated, and the clamping claw rotates until it clamps the plate-shaped material, thus achieving the effect of gripping the plate-shaped material.

[0013] Optionally, the auxiliary materials are arranged in ingot form. The pushing assembly includes a placement box, a vacuum pump, a first electric push rod, a conveying channel, and a sealing plate. The placement box is connected to the frame. The placement box has a vertically arranged placement channel for stacking ingot-shaped auxiliary materials. The bottom end of the placement channel has an outlet. The conveying channel is horizontally connected to the bottom of the placement box and communicates with the outlet. The sealing plate is vertically slidably fitted inside the placement box and passes through the conveying channel. The frame is provided with a second electric push rod. The output end of the second electric push rod is connected to the sealing plate. The first electric push rod is horizontally connected to the side wall of the placement box and aligned with the outlet. The frame is provided with an inclined rolling channel. Several rollers are installed on the surface of the rolling channel. The inlet of the rolling channel is aligned with the conveying channel, and the outlet faces the heating zone. The height of the inlet of the rolling channel is higher than the height of the outlet. The vacuum pump is installed on the top of the placement box, and its suction end communicates with the inside of the placement box. A vacuum gauge is installed on the placement box to detect the vacuum level inside the placement box.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when pushing the auxiliary materials, the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials are stacked in the placement channel in advance. The vacuum pump is started to extract the air inside the placement box. The vacuum gauge is used to observe until the inside of the placement box reaches the specified vacuum degree. Then, the first electric push rod and the second electric push rod are started to push the bottom ingot-shaped auxiliary materials into the conveying channel. At the same time, the sealing plate is lowered to open the discharge port of the conveying channel. The ingot-shaped auxiliary materials move to the heating zone through the feeding channel, thus achieving the effect of conveying ingot-shaped auxiliary materials.

[0015] Optionally, the placement box is equipped with a packaging assembly, which includes a rotating shaft, a rotating cylinder, a rotating motor, and a third electric push rod. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the placement box and located above the conveying channel. The rotating cylinder is mounted on the rotating shaft, and its surface is covered with metal foil of the same material as the raw material. The metal foil is arranged in several sections, with a tear between adjacent sections. When the metal foil is released, it is positioned between the placement channel and the conveying channel. The rotating motor is mounted on the placement box and coaxially connected to the rotating shaft. The third electric push rod is vertically mounted inside the placement box, and its output end is connected to an abutment plate. A rubber strip is connected to the side of the abutment plate near the sealing plate. An avoidance channel is provided in the conveying channel corresponding to the position of the abutment plate. During packaging, the metal foil covers the entrance of the conveying channel.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the phenomenon that the density of the auxiliary material is less than that of the raw material, when the ingot-shaped auxiliary material enters the raw material solution, the auxiliary material floats to the level of the raw material. At this time, the auxiliary material is easily exposed to the outside air, and with the nearby high temperature, it is easily oxidized, causing impurities to appear inside the alloy solution. When conveying the ingot-shaped auxiliary material, the rotating motor is started, causing the rotating drum to rotate and the metal foil to descend until a section of metal foil covers the feed inlet of the conveying channel. The moving ingot-shaped auxiliary material carries the metal foil into the conveying channel until it touches the sealing plate. Due to the restriction of the conveying channel, the metal foil wraps around the four sides of the ingot-shaped auxiliary material. The third electric push rod is started, the contact plate descends, and the rubber strip descends. During this process, the rubber strip pushes the upper metal foil to touch the ingot-shaped auxiliary material. On the return stroke, it pushes the lower metal foil to adhere to the ingot-shaped auxiliary material, realizing the metal foil wrapping the ingot-shaped auxiliary material. At this time, the sealing plate is opened, and the ingot-shaped auxiliary material is continued to be moved by the first electric push rod, realizing the effect of conveying and wrapping the ingot-shaped auxiliary material. By wrapping the ingot-shaped auxiliary material with metal foil, the auxiliary material is lowered to a specified depth inside the molten metal in the heating zone. After the metal foil melts, the auxiliary material gradually floats up. During the floating process, the auxiliary material has already melted and dissolved into the molten metal, reducing the possibility of the auxiliary material coming into contact with the outside air and improving the melting effect of the alloy solution.

[0017] Optionally, the continuous casting assembly includes a moving frame, a cooler, a venting box, a crystallizer, and traction wheels. The frame is equipped with a track, and the moving frame rolls on the track via rollers. Both sides of the moving frame have built-in air pumps. The venting box is connected to the moving frame and communicates with the air pumps. Several crystallizers are vertically mounted on the venting box and are connected to it. The bottom of each crystallizer is a material extraction port located inside the insulation zone. The cooler is located on both sides of the moving frame, and the crystallizer is connected to it. A carrier plate is vertically slidably mounted on the moving frame. A second lifting assembly is provided on the moving frame to drive the carrier plate. Several rows of traction wheels are rotatably connected to the carrier plate, each traction wheel corresponding to a crystallizer. A reduction motor is mounted on the carrier plate and connected to the traction wheel. An abutment strip is connected to the carrier plate at a position corresponding to the traction wheel.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when casting columnar alloy, a vacuum pump is used to create negative pressure inside the crystallizer to draw the alloy solution into the crystallizer. With the help of a cooler, the alloy solution cools and forms a columnar body, which rises to the outside of the crystallizer. At this time, the geared motor is started to rotate the traction wheel, which allows the columnar alloy to enter between the traction wheel and the contact bar. The traction wheel applies pressure and continues to rise, achieving the effect of continuous casting of alloy solution.

[0019] Optionally, the control valve includes a drive cylinder, a rotating plate, and a fixed cylinder. The fixed cylinder passes through the side wall of the furnace. The end of the fixed cylinder facing the crucible has an upward-facing clearance opening. The surface of the fixed cylinder has a material inlet facing the slag discharge channel. A connecting column is connected to the rotating plate and is rotatably connected inside the fixed cylinder. The end of the connecting column has a receiving groove communicating with the slag discharge port. The side wall of the receiving groove has a flow outlet. The material inlet is located on the rotation path of the flow outlet. One end of the drive cylinder is rotatably connected to the side wall of the furnace, and the output end is rotatably connected to the rotating plate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, after the alloy solution is cast, the drive cylinder is started to rotate the rotating plate, which in turn rotates the connecting column until the inlet is aligned with the feed port. At this time, the molten slag inside the crucible flows into the slag discharge channel through the slag discharge port, receiving tank, inlet, and feed port in sequence. At this time, the sealing part is opened to achieve the effect of slag discharge. After discharge, the drive cylinder is reset, the inlet and feed port are misaligned, and the inner wall of the fixed cylinder re-seals the inlet, achieving the effect of sealing the slag discharge port.

[0021] Optionally, a sampling assembly is provided at the top of the crucible. The sampling assembly includes a sampling box, an upper cover plate, a lower cover plate, gripping claws, and a sampling rod. A material inlet is provided at the bottom of the sampling box. A surrounding plate is provided inside the sampling box, and a liquid level line is provided on the surrounding plate. The surrounding plate and the inner wall of the sampling box form a liquid storage tank, which is filled with a cooling medium. A drainage channel is provided on the inner wall of the sampling box, with one end connected to the liquid storage tank and the other end connected to the material inlet. A baffle plate is provided on the surrounding plate to block the drainage channel. A control component is provided on the sampling box to drive the baffle plate to move. The upper cover plate is fitted onto the top of the sampling box and is made of transparent material. A ball joint is provided on the upper cover plate. The sample box has a rotating ball with a control lever that moves on it. The control lever is hollow. Two gripping claws are rotatably connected to the bottom of the control lever and are positioned opposite each other. A moving plate is slidably mounted on the top of the control lever. A steel wire rope connects the gripping claws to the moving plate. A restoring component is provided at the bottom of the control lever to return the gripping claws to their initial position. The gripping claws clamp the sampling rod. A lower cover plate is rotatably connected to the side wall of the sampling box and covers the sampling port. A cooling groove is provided on the lower cover plate, and a drainage groove is also provided on the lower cover plate. The two drainage grooves are connected. A limiting component is provided on the sampling box to restrict the rotation of the lower cover plate.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, it is necessary to sample and test the alloy solution during the casting process. By understanding the composition ratio, the amount of raw materials or auxiliary materials can be adjusted appropriately. During sampling and testing, the sampling box is installed on the furnace, the lower cover is opened, the moving plate is pulled, and the gripping jaws are pulled by the wire rope to clamp the sampling rod. The control lever is lowered until the sampling rod enters the alloy solution in the heat preservation zone and is stirred. Then, the sampling rod is placed back into the sampling box, the upper and lower covers are closed, and the movement of the lower cover is restricted by the limiting component. The moving plate is released, and the sampling rod is placed in the cooling tank. The baffle plate is moved by the control component to open the guide channel. The cooling medium enters the cooling tank through the guide channel to cool the alloy solution on the surface of the sampling rod, thus achieving the effect of alloy solution sampling.

[0023] Optionally, the limiting component includes a connecting shaft, a toggle plate, a clamping spring, and a limiting L-plate. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the sampling box. An extension plate is connected between the connecting shaft and one side of the lower cover plate. One end of the toggle plate is connected to the connecting shaft and is parallel to the extension plate. A fixing rod is connected to the side wall of the sampling box. The limiting L-plate and the clamping spring are both sleeved on the fixing rod. The clamping spring presses against the limiting L-plate. When the lower cover plate blocks the sampling port, the limiting L-plate abuts against the toggle plate.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lower cover plate is restricted, the restricting plate L is moved, the clamping spring is compressed, and then the lower cover plate covers the material inlet. When the restricting plate L is released, the restricting plate L is moved in the opposite direction by the clamping spring until it touches the moving plate, thereby restricting the rotation of the connecting shaft and achieving the effect of blocking the rotation of the lower cover plate.

[0025] A casting process for a continuous alloy casting equipment includes the following steps:

[0026] S1. Raw Material Conveying: Inert gas is supplied through heating elements to uniformly heat the crucible to the specified temperature. Then, a specified amount of raw material is conveyed to the heating zone using a conveying mechanism. S2. Auxiliary Material Conveying: Auxiliary materials are pushed into the heating zone using a pushing component. S3. Raw Material and Auxiliary Material Melting: Raw materials and auxiliary materials are heated to uniformly mix them into an alloy solution. S4. Continuous Alloy Casting: The gate is driven to rise by a moving component, allowing the alloy solution to flow into the holding zone. The continuous casting component then continuously casts the alloy solution into columnar rods. During continuous casting, the material feeding channel is closed again, and a specified proportion of raw materials and auxiliary materials are continued to be melted into the heating zone. The above operation is then repeated to continuously supply alloy solution to the holding zone. S5. Slag Removal: After the specified batch of alloy solution has been cast, the slag discharge port and slag discharge channel are connected by a control valve, and the molten slag is drained out of the crucible.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, during continuous casting, the raw materials are transported to the heating zone by the conveying mechanism, and the auxiliary materials are pushed to the heating zone by the pushing component. The heating element is energized, and the crucible is heated to the specified temperature. The raw materials and auxiliary materials are melted in the holding zone. The gate is opened, and the alloy solution enters the holding zone. The alloy solution in the holding zone is cast by the continuous casting component. During this period, by closing the gate, a new batch of raw materials and auxiliary materials is reheated to continuously supply materials to the holding zone, thus achieving the effect of continuous casting of alloy solution.

[0028] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. During casting, a specified amount of raw material is conveyed to the heating zone via a conveying mechanism, and a specified amount of auxiliary material is conveyed to the heating zone via a pushing component. The heating element is energized, and through thermal radiation, the crucible is uniformly heated to a specified temperature, melting the raw material and auxiliary material into an alloy solution. A moving component drives a gate to rise, allowing the alloy solution to flow into the holding zone. The continuous casting component then casts the molten alloy solution into a columnar rod. During this process, the material feeding channel is closed, and a specified amount of raw material and auxiliary material continues to be conveyed to the heating zone. After melting, the gate is opened again, and the above operation is repeated, achieving continuous casting of alloy rods. By melting the raw material and auxiliary material into an alloy solution in the heating zone and continuously feeding material into the heating zone through the opening and closing of the gate, an alloy solution is continuously supplied to the holding zone, enabling continuous casting of alloy rods. Compared with existing technologies, this reduces the number of alloy solution casting operation steps, shortens the casting time of the casting equipment, and improves the casting efficiency of the casting equipment.

[0030] 2. When conveying ingot-shaped auxiliary materials, the rotating motor is started, causing the rotating drum to rotate and the metal foil to descend until a section of metal foil covers the inlet of the conveying channel. The moving ingot-shaped auxiliary materials carry the metal foil into the conveying channel until it touches the sealing plate. Due to the restriction of the conveying channel, the metal foil wraps around the four sides of the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials. The third electric push rod is then activated, causing the contact plate to descend and the rubber strip to descend. During this process, the rubber strip pushes the upper layer of metal foil to touch the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials. On the return stroke, it pushes the lower layer of metal foil to adhere to the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials, thus achieving the effect of metal foil wrapping the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials. At this point, the sealing plate is opened, and the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials continue to be moved by the first electric push rod, achieving the effect of conveying and wrapping the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials. By wrapping the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials with metal foil, the auxiliary materials descend to a specified depth inside the molten metal in the heating zone. After the metal foil melts, the auxiliary materials gradually float to the surface. During the floating process, the auxiliary materials have already melted and dissolved into the molten metal, reducing the possibility of the auxiliary materials coming into contact with external air and improving the melting effect of the alloy solution.

[0031] 3. During sampling and testing, the sampling box is installed on the furnace. The lower cover is opened, the moving plate is pulled, and the gripping claw is pulled by the wire rope to clamp the sampling rod. The control lever is lowered until the sampling rod enters the alloy solution in the heat preservation zone and is stirred. Then the sampling rod is placed back into the sampling box, the upper and lower covers are closed, and the movement of the lower cover is restricted by the limiting component. The moving plate is released, and the sampling rod is placed in the cooling tank. The control component moves the baffle plate to open the guide channel. The cooling medium enters the cooling tank through the guide channel to cool the alloy solution on the surface of the sampling rod, thus achieving the effect of alloy solution sampling.

[0067] During sampling, the limiting plate L84 is moved, the clamping spring 83 is compressed, the lower cover plate 73 rotates, and the moving plate 722 is pulled, so that the gripping claw 74 grips the end of the sampling rod 75.

[0068] The implementation principle of an alloy continuous casting equipment according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: During casting, the heating element 21 is energized, and the crucible 3 is heated to a specified temperature. Plate-shaped raw materials are stacked into the placement box 41, and ingot-shaped auxiliary materials are stacked into the placement channel 511. The vacuum level inside the placement box 51 is maintained by the vacuum pump 52. The connecting frame 431 is lowered by a moving trolley, so that the suction cup 433 adheres to the plate-shaped raw materials to pick them up and transfer them to the transfer table 422. The transfer cylinder 423 is activated, and the transfer table 422 rotates 85 degrees clockwise. The mounting frame 441 is lowered by another type of moving trolley, so that the top of the plate-shaped raw materials is between the fixed plate 443 and the clamping claw 444. The pushing cylinder 442 is activated, and the plate-shaped raw materials are clamped and transported to the heating zone 32. The first electric push rod 53 is activated, and the moving ingot-shaped auxiliary materials push the gold... The metal foil is conveyed into the conveying channel 54, where it wraps around the surface of the ingot-shaped auxiliary material until it touches the sealing plate 55. The rubber strip 5641 is moved by the second electric push rod 551 to move the upper and lower layers of metal foil to wrap the ingot-shaped auxiliary material. After the sealing plate 55 is opened, the ingot-shaped auxiliary material enters the heating zone 32 through the rolling channel 11. After heating for 1-2 hours, the gate 311 is opened by the moving part, and the molten metal enters the heat preservation zone 33. The crystallizer 64 with internal negative pressure draws out the molten metal and cools it with the cooler 62 to form columnar rods. Then, the reduction motor 652 is started, and the traction wheel 65 rotates, which drives the columnar rods to rise through friction. When adding material later, the gate is closed again, and the gate is opened again after the raw materials and auxiliary materials are melted. In this way, molten metal is continuously supplied to the heat preservation zone 33, achieving the effect of continuous casting of molten metal.

[0069] The raw materials and auxiliary materials are melted into an alloy solution in the heating zone 32, and the alloy solution is continuously supplied to the heat preservation zone 33 by opening and closing the gate 311 and continuously feeding materials into the heating zone 32, so as to realize continuous casting of alloy rods. Compared with the existing technology, the number of alloy solution casting operation steps is reduced, the casting time of the casting equipment is shortened, and the casting efficiency of the casting equipment is improved.

[0070] A continuous alloy casting equipment casting process includes the following steps:

[0071] S1. Raw material conveying: The electric heating element 21 heats the crucible 3 evenly with inert gas, and the plate-shaped raw materials are stacked in the placement box 41. The connecting plate 432 is lowered by the moving vehicle, and the suction cup 433 picks up the plate-shaped raw materials and conveys them to the transfer table 422. The transfer cylinder 423 makes the transfer table 422 rotate 85 degrees clockwise. Another moving vehicle drives the mounting frame 441 to lower, and pushes the cylinder 442 to make the clamping claw 444 rotate to grip the plate-shaped raw materials until the plate-shaped raw materials are conveyed into the heating zone 32.

[0072] S2. Conveying auxiliary materials: Stack the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials in the placement channel 511. Use the vacuum pump 52 to establish the vacuum level inside the box 51. Start the first electric push rod 53. The ingot-shaped auxiliary materials push the metal foil into the conveying channel 54. The metal foil is restricted by the conveying channel 54 and wraps the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials until the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials touch the sealing plate 55. The second electric push rod 551 drives the rubber strip 5641 to move, and sequentially moves the upper and lower metal foils to wrap the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials. Open the sealing plate 55. The first electric push rod 53 pushes the ingot-shaped auxiliary materials through the rolling channel 11 into the heating zone 32.

[0073] S3. Melting raw materials and auxiliary materials: The raw materials and auxiliary materials are heated in the heating zone 32 for 1-2 hours. The moving part drives the gate to rise, and the alloy solution enters the heat preservation zone 33.

[0074] S4. Continuous casting of copper-magnesium alloy: Start the vacuum pump and cooler 62. The internal negative pressure crystallizer 64 draws the alloy solution and cools it with the cooler 62 to cool the alloy solution and form columnar rods. Start the geared motor 652, and the traction wheel 65 rotates to move the columnar rods to cast the columnar rods. Close the gate and continue to transport raw materials according to step S1 and auxiliary materials according to step S2. After the metal solution in the heating zone 32 is melted evenly, open the gate again to continuously supply the heat preservation zone 33.

[0075] Sampling is required during step S4. The sampling box 71 is placed on top of the furnace 2, against the inner wall of the crucible 3, with the hook plate 711 hooking onto the side wall of the furnace 2. The limiting plate L4 is moved, compressing the spring 83, causing the lower cover plate 73 to rotate. This pulls the moving plate 722, causing the gripper 74 to grip the end of the sampling rod 75. The control lever 721 is lowered, causing the sampling rod 75 to agitate in the alloy solution in the heat preservation zone 33. The sampling rod 75 is then raised, the upper and lower cover plates 73 are closed, and the limiting plate L4 is released. The limiting plate L4 moves in the opposite direction under the force of the spring and adheres to the moving plate 82, thus limiting the lower cover plate 73. The moving plate 722 is then released, and the sampling rod 75 falls into the cooling tank 731. Pressing the control element 7122 causes the baffle plate 7121 to rise, allowing water to enter the cooling tank 731 through the drainage channel 713 to cool the metal solution, achieving the effect of sampling the metal solution.

[0076] S5. Slag Discharge: After a batch of molten metal is extracted, the drive cylinder 351 is started, the rotating plate 352 rotates, driving the connecting column 3521 to rotate until the first piece 3523 touches the second piece 3532. At this time, the outlet 3522 is aligned with the feed inlet 3531, and the molten slag flows through the receiving tank, outlet 3522 and feed inlet 3531 in sequence, and flows into the slag discharge channel 22. The sealing cylinder is started, the rotating frame rotates, and the blocking plate rotates to open the slag discharge channel 22.

[0077] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
