Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aluminum-zinc alloy ingot processing technology, and in particular to a casting apparatus for processing aluminum-zinc alloy ingots. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum-zinc alloy ingots are alloy castings made primarily of aluminum and zinc, often with small amounts of other elements (such as magnesium and copper). They combine the lightweight and corrosion resistance of aluminum with the high strength and ease of machining of zinc, making them widely used in die casting, hardware manufacturing, and automotive parts. Production typically involves melting and casting, resulting in solidified ingots with specific compositions and physical properties. These ingots can be further processed into various precision parts or structural components as needed. Due to their high cost-effectiveness and excellent overall performance, they occupy an important position in the industrial sector.

[0003] During the process of casting molten alloy into the mold cavity, air can easily be trapped and form bubbles. In actual production, changes in factors such as the temperature and composition of the molten alloy can alter its viscosity, thereby affecting the distribution of the alloy in the mold cavity and ultimately impacting the quality of the finished product. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and to provide a casting apparatus for processing aluminum-zinc alloy ingots.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a casting device for processing aluminum-zinc alloy ingots, comprising: a casting chamber, wherein a mold unit is provided inside the casting chamber;

[0006] A mold control unit is installed on the outer surface of the casting chamber, and the mold control unit is used to control the mold unit;

[0007] The insulation cavity has a first pipe assembly fixedly connected to its top and a second pipe fixedly connected to its outer surface. The end of the second pipe away from the insulation cavity is fixedly connected to a furnace.

[0008] The mold control unit includes an outer frame plate with a notch on the side near the casting chamber. A traction device is fixedly connected to the top of the outer frame plate, and steel wire ropes are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the traction device. A buckle assembly is provided at the bottom of the steel wire ropes. A lateral movement mechanism is provided at the bottom of the outer frame plate. A fine-tuning mechanism is also provided on the inner wall of the outer frame plate. A monitoring assembly is fixedly connected to the top of the outer frame plate, and an infrared detector and an ultrasonic detector are fixedly connected to the bottom of the monitoring assembly. Electromagnets are symmetrically arranged near the notch on the outer frame plate, and rubidium magnetic positioning blocks are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the electromagnets. When the electromagnets are working, the rubidium magnetic positioning blocks generate magnetic force.

[0009] The fine-tuning mechanism includes a hydraulic actuator, a first telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hydraulic actuator, a first support plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the first telescopic rod, a support arm is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first support plate, a second support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support arm, a first servo motor is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second support plate, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor, and a first inlay plate is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft away from the first servo motor.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer surface of the outer frame plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the casting chamber, the outer surface of the hydraulic device is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame plate, and the height of the hydraulic device is located in the middle of the outer frame plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the infrared monitor can intuitively observe the temperature changes in different parts of the alloy ingot by real-time monitoring of the temperature field on the surface of the mold and the alloy ingot, and thus infer its solidification process.

[0012] The ultrasonic monitor determines the solidification state inside the alloy ingot by receiving and analyzing the reflected ultrasonic signals.

[0013] Furthermore, the transverse movement mechanism includes a third support plate symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the outer frame plate, and a guide rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one side of the third support plate;

[0014] The transverse mechanism also includes a second servo motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a reciprocating lead screw, the outer surface of which is threadedly connected to a first moving block, and the opposite surfaces of the first and second moving blocks are provided with second telescopic rods, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a second inlay plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer surface of the third support plate is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the outer frame plate, and the outer surface of the second servo motor is welded and fixed to the side of the outer frame plate near the notch.

[0016] Furthermore, the buckle assembly includes a hook block, the outer surface of which is provided with a hook surface, and the outer surface of which is also provided with a fixing plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the mold unit includes a base plate, the bottom of which is symmetrically provided with a first inlay groove, and the outer surface of which is also provided with a second inlay groove. The top of the base plate is fixedly connected with a buckle that works in conjunction with a snap-fit ​​assembly. The top of the base plate is also symmetrically provided with rubidium magnetic plates that are adapted to the rubidium magnetic positioning blocks. A forming mechanism is provided on the side of the base plate near the interior of the casting chamber. The forming mechanism is fixedly connected to the base plate by strong bolts.

[0018] Furthermore, after the substrate is separated from the forming mechanism, the aluminum-zinc alloy ingot is removed, and the first inlay groove is adapted to the second inlay plate, and the second inlay groove is adapted to the first inlay plate.

[0019] When the mold control unit controls the translation and fine adjustment of the mold unit, the traction device engages with the mold unit through the locking assembly to prevent the mold unit from disengaging from the mold control unit.

[0020] Furthermore, the molding mechanism includes a mold plate, in which molding cavities are uniformly arranged. The top of the molding cavity is provided with an inlet, and the bottom of the molding cavity is provided with an outlet. The inner wall of the mold plate is also provided with a flow groove, which is connected to the inlet. Electric cylinders are uniformly arranged in the flow groove. The electric cylinders are wrapped with heat-insulating material. A sealing block is provided at the output end of the electric cylinder. The electric cylinder controls the movement of the sealing block, thereby controlling the flow of the medium between the inlet and the outlet.

[0021] Furthermore, a confluence channel is provided on the outer surface of the casting chamber, and a gas transmission pipe and a liquid transmission pipe are fixedly connected to the top of the confluence channel.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the casting apparatus for processing aluminum-zinc alloy ingots provided by the present invention are as follows:

[0024] (1) The fine adjustment mechanism and the transverse movement mechanism are disengaged from the mold unit. The first servo motor will drive the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the mold unit is in a horizontal state. This makes it convenient for the infrared monitor and ultrasonic monitor at the top to monitor the solidification of the alloy. When the monitoring detects that bubbles appear in the mold cavity and that the alloy solidifies first, resulting in a gap, the first servo motor will drive the rotating shaft and the whole mold unit to rotate slowly back and forth. The rotation angle is 5-10 degrees, so that the unsolidified alloy flows, drives the bubbles to float to the space reserved for floating in the forming cavity, and fills the gap with the alloy. Finally, the first servo motor will also control the mold unit to be in a horizontal state until the aluminum-zinc alloy ingot is formed.

[0025] (2) The mold mechanism adopts a design that separates the casting chamber from the mold unit, so that the alloy solidification in the forming mechanism within the mold unit can be monitored, and the flow of the alloy in the forming mechanism can be easily controlled, as well as the solidified aluminum-zinc alloy ingot can be easily removed directly afterward.

[0026] (3) Transverse mechanism: When the transverse mechanism needs to work, for example, when the mold unit is controlled to enter the casting chamber, the second telescopic rod will first extend and the second insert plate will enter the first insert slot. The second servo motor will drive the reciprocating screw to rotate, so that the first moving block moves along the reciprocating screw. The second moving block on the other side will move along the guide rod, so that the whole mold unit moves into the casting chamber. The rubidium magnetic plate will also enter the rubidium magnetic positioning block. The electromagnet will energize the rubidium magnetic positioning block, so that the rubidium magnetic positioning block and the rubidium magnetic plate are precisely connected. When the alloy liquid is introduced, the electromagnet will stop energizing.

[0027] (4) Molding mechanism: After the mold unit enters the casting chamber, the evenly arranged electric cylinders will control the sealing block not to block the inlet and outlet, so that the gas supply device and liquid supply device can respectively pass the cleaning liquid and air into the molding cavity through the confluence channel and flow out from the outlet, thereby cleaning the dust and impurities in the molding cavity and preventing the dust and impurities from entering the alloy solution. Then the outlet is closed, and the molten alloy will enter the casting chamber through the first pipe group and flow into the molding cavity. Attached Figure Description

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the further embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0055] A casting apparatus for processing aluminum-zinc alloy ingots includes: a casting chamber 1, and a mold unit 3 is provided inside the casting chamber 1;

[0056] The mold control unit 2 is installed on the outer surface of the casting chamber 1. The mold control unit 2 is used to control the mold unit 3.

[0057] The insulation cavity 11 has a first pipe assembly 4 welded and fixed to its top, a second pipe 6 welded and fixed to its outer surface, and a furnace 5 welded and fixed to the end of the second pipe 6 away from the insulation cavity 11.

[0058] The mold control unit 2 includes an outer frame plate 21. A notch 22 is provided on the side of the outer frame plate 21 near the casting chamber 1. A traction device 23 is integrally formed on the top of the outer frame plate 21. Steel wire ropes 24 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the traction device 23 and are wound inside the traction device 23. A buckle assembly 25 is provided at the bottom of the steel wire ropes 24. A transverse movement mechanism 26 is provided at the bottom of the outer frame plate 21. A fine-tuning mechanism 27 is also provided on the inner wall of the outer frame plate 21. A notch 22 is also provided on the top of the outer frame plate 21. The body is formed with a monitoring component 28. An infrared monitor 29 and an ultrasonic monitor 210 are set at the bottom of the monitoring component 28. The infrared monitor 29 and the ultrasonic monitor 210 are fixedly connected to the monitoring component 28 by through screws on their bases. An electromagnet 211 is fixed to the outer frame plate 21 near the notch 22 by bolts. A rubidium magnetic locking block 212 is welded to the outer surface of the electromagnet 211. When the electromagnet 211 is working, the rubidium magnetic locking block 212 generates magnetic force.

[0059] Under normal circumstances, mold unit 3 is in the transverse movement mechanism 26. When monitoring alloy solidification, the fine adjustment mechanism 27 controls mold unit 3.

[0060] The fine-tuning mechanism 27 includes a hydraulic unit 271. A first telescopic rod 272 is welded and fixed to the outer surface of the hydraulic unit 271. A first support plate 273 is welded and fixed to the output end of the first telescopic rod 272. A support arm 274 is welded and fixed to the outer surface of the first support plate 273. A second support plate 275 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the support arm 274. A first servo motor 276 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second support plate 275. The first servo motor 276 is fixedly connected to the second support plate 275 by a base through screw. A rotating shaft 277 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first servo motor 276 by a coupling. A first inlay plate 278 is welded and fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 277 away from the first servo motor 276.

[0061] When the aluminum-zinc alloy liquid enters the mold unit 3 for solidification, there is a possibility that the alloy liquid cannot adhere to the mold cavity, resulting in micro-shrinkage cavities and air bubbles, which affect the quality of the solidified alloy. Therefore, the transverse mechanism 26 moves the entire mold unit 3 closer to the fine-tuning mechanism 27. The hydraulic device 271 drives the first telescopic rod 272 to extend and move the first support plate 273, support arm 274, and second support plate 275 toward the mold unit 3, causing the first insert plate 278 to enter the second insert groove 33. At the same time, the transverse mechanism 26 disengages from the mold unit 3, and the first servo motor 276 drives the rotating shaft 277 to rotate. This allows the mold unit 3 to be in a horizontal state, facilitating the monitoring of the alloy solidification by the infrared monitor 29 and ultrasonic monitor 210 on top. When air bubbles are detected in the mold cavity or when some alloy solidifies first, resulting in voids, the first servo motor 276 will drive the rotating shaft 277 and the entire mold unit to slowly reciprocate, with a rotation angle of 5-10 degrees. This allows the unsolidified alloy to flow, causing the air bubbles to float to the space reserved for floating in the forming cavity 352, and filling the voids with the alloy. Finally, the first servo motor 276 will also control the mold unit 3 to be in a horizontal state until the aluminum-zinc alloy ingot is formed.

[0062] The outer surface of the outer frame plate 21 is welded and fixed to the outer surface of the casting chamber 1, and the outer surface of the hydraulic device 271 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the outer frame plate 21. The height of the hydraulic device 271 is located in the middle of the outer frame plate 21.

[0063] Infrared monitor 29 can intuitively observe the temperature changes of different parts of the alloy ingot by real-time monitoring of the temperature field on the surface of the mold and alloy ingot, and thus infer its solidification process.

[0064] The ultrasonic monitor 210 determines the solidification state inside the alloy ingot by receiving and analyzing the reflected ultrasonic signals.

[0065] The transverse movement mechanism includes a third support plate 261 symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the outer frame plate 21, and a guide rod 264 is welded and fixed to the outer surface of one side of the third support plate 261.

[0066] The transverse mechanism also includes a second servo motor 262. The output end of the second servo motor 262 is fixedly connected to a reciprocating lead screw 263 via a coupling. The outer surface of the reciprocating lead screw 263 is threadedly connected to a first moving block 265. The opposite surfaces of the first moving block 265 and the second moving block 268 are provided with second telescopic rods 266. The second telescopic rods 266 are fixedly connected to the first moving block 265 and the second moving block 268 via bolts on their bases. The output end of the second telescopic rods 266 is welded and fixed with a second inlay plate 267.

[0067] When the transverse movement mechanism 26 needs to work, for example when controlling the mold unit 3 to enter the casting chamber 1, the second telescopic rod 266 will first extend and the second insert plate 267 will enter the first insert groove 32. The second servo motor 262 will drive the reciprocating screw 263 to rotate, thereby causing the first moving block 265 to move along the reciprocating screw 263. The second moving block 268 on the other side will move along the guide rod 264, thereby driving the entire mold unit 3 to move into the casting chamber 1. The rubidium magnetic plate 37 will also enter the rubidium magnetic positioning block 212. The electromagnet 211 will energize the rubidium magnetic positioning block 212, thereby making the rubidium magnetic positioning block 212 and the rubidium magnetic plate 37 precisely connected. When the alloy liquid is introduced, the electromagnet 211 will stop energizing.

[0068] The outer surface of the third support plate 261 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the outer frame plate 21, and the outer surface of the second servo motor 262 is welded and fixed to the side of the outer frame plate 21 near the notch 22.

[0069] The snap-fit ​​assembly 25 includes a snap-fit ​​block 251, the outer surface of which is provided with a hook surface 252, and the outer surface of which is also provided with a fixing plate 253, which is snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​block 251.

[0070] Hang the hook block 251 on the buckle 34, and then snap it onto the fixing plate 253, so that the traction device 23 can stabilize the overall mold unit 3 and prevent the mold unit 3 from falling.

[0071] The mold unit 3 includes a base plate 31. A first inlay groove 32 is symmetrically arranged on the bottom of the base plate 31. A second inlay groove 33 is also arranged on the outer surface of the base plate 31. A buckle 34 that works in conjunction with the buckle assembly 25 is welded and fixed to the top of the base plate 31. A rubidium magnetic plate 37 that is adapted to the rubidium magnetic positioning block 212 is also symmetrically arranged on the top of the base plate 31. The rubidium magnetic plate 37 is welded and fixed to the top of the base plate 31. A forming mechanism 35 is arranged on the side of the base plate 31 near the inside of the casting chamber 1. The forming mechanism 35 is fixedly connected to the base plate 31 by a strong bolt 36.

[0072] The casting chamber 1 and the mold unit 3 are designed to be separate, which allows the alloy solidification of the forming mechanism 35 in the mold unit 3 to be monitored, and facilitates the control of the flow of the alloy in the forming mechanism 35, as well as the direct removal of the solidified aluminum-zinc alloy ingot.

[0073] After the substrate 31 is separated from the forming mechanism 35, the aluminum-zinc alloy ingot is taken out. The first inlay groove 32 is adapted to the second inlay plate 267, and the second inlay groove 33 is adapted to the first inlay plate 278.

[0074] When the mold control unit 2 controls the mold unit 3 to translate and fine-tune, the traction device 23 is engaged with the mold unit 3 through the locking assembly to prevent the mold unit 3 from disengaging from the mold control unit 2.

[0075] The molding mechanism 35 includes a mold plate 351, in which molding cavities 352 are evenly arranged. The top of the molding cavity 352 is provided with an inlet 353, and the bottom of the molding cavity 352 is provided with an outlet 354. The inner wall of the mold plate 351 is also provided with a flow groove 355, which is connected to the inlet 353. Electric cylinders 356 are evenly arranged in the flow groove 355. The electric cylinders 356 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the flow groove 355 by through screws inserted into their bases. The electric cylinders 356 are wrapped with heat insulation material. A sealing block 357 is welded and fixed to the output end of the electric cylinders 356. The electric cylinders 356 control the movement of the sealing block 357, thereby controlling the flow of the medium between the inlet 353 and the outlet 354.

[0076] The outer surface of the casting chamber 1 is provided with a confluence channel 12. A gas transmission pipe 9 and a liquid transmission pipe 10 are welded and fixed to the top of the confluence channel 12. A gas delivery device 8 and a liquid delivery device 7 are respectively provided at the ends of the gas transmission pipe 9 and the liquid transmission pipe 10 away from the confluence channel 12.

[0077] After the mold unit enters the casting chamber 1, the evenly arranged electric cylinders 356 control the sealing block 357 to not block the inlet 353 and outlet 354, so that the air supply device 8 and the liquid supply device 7 can respectively pass cleaning liquid and air into the molding cavity 352 through the confluence channel 12 and flow out from the outlet 354, thereby cleaning the dust and impurities in the molding cavity 352 and preventing dust and impurities from entering the alloy solution. Then the outlet 354 is closed, and the molten alloy will enter the casting chamber 1 through the first pipe group 4 and flow into the molding cavity 352.

[0078] The outer surface of the mold plate 351 is attached to the outer surface of the substrate 31, and the two are fixedly connected by bolts. The flow groove 355 is connected to the bottom of the confluence channel 12.

[0079] In operation, the mold control unit 2 first controls the mold unit 3 to enter the casting chamber 1. Then, aluminum ingots, zinc ingots and necessary alloy additives are added to the furnace 5 in proportion. After the raw materials are fully melted, they enter the heat preservation chamber 11 through the second pipe 6. The gas supply device 8 and the liquid supply device 7 pre-treat the mold unit 3. Then, the molten raw materials are transferred to the mold unit 3 through the first pipe group 4. After that, the mold control unit 2 monitors the alloy solidification and controls the alloy solidification to be complete. Finally, the alloy ingot is removed by disassembling the mold control unit 2.

[0080] The working process of the casting device for processing aluminum-zinc alloy ingots provided by this invention is as follows:

[0081] First, the mold unit 3 is cleaned by the gas supply device 8 and the liquid supply device 7. Then, aluminum ingots, zinc ingots, and necessary alloy additives are added to the furnace 5 in proportion. After the raw materials are fully melted, they enter the heat preservation chamber 11 through the second pipe 6. Then, the second servo motor 262 drives the reciprocating screw 263 to rotate, thereby causing the first moving block 265 to move along the reciprocating screw 263. The second moving block 268 on the other side moves along the guide rod 264, thereby moving the entire mold unit 3 into the heat preservation chamber 11. Inside the casting chamber 1, the rubidium magnetic plate 37 also enters the rubidium magnetic positioning block 212. The electromagnet 211 energizes the rubidium magnetic positioning block 212, thereby precisely connecting the rubidium magnetic positioning block 212 with the rubidium magnetic plate 37. Then, the electric cylinder 356 controls the sealing block 357 to not block the inlet 353 and outlet 354. The molten alloy enters the forming cavity 352. Then, the electric cylinder 356 controls the sealing block 357 to block the inlet 353 and outlet 354. After that, the transverse mechanism 26 drives the entire mold unit 3 to move closer to the mold. When the fine-tuning mechanism 27 is approached, the hydraulic device 271 drives the first telescopic rod 272 to extend and move the first support plate 273, support arm 274, and second support plate 275 toward the mold unit 3, and causes the first insert plate 278 to enter the second insert groove 33. At the same time, the transverse mechanism 26 disengages from the mold unit 3, and the first servo motor 276 drives the rotating shaft 277 to rotate, so that the mold unit 3 is in a horizontal state. This allows the infrared monitor 29 and ultrasonic monitor 210 on the top to monitor the solidification of the alloy. When air bubbles are detected in the mold cavity or the alloy solidifies first, resulting in a void, the first servo motor 276 drives the rotating shaft 277 and the entire mold unit 3 to slowly reciprocate. The rotation angle is 5-10 degrees, which causes the unsolidified alloy to flow, causing the air bubbles to float to the space reserved for floating in the forming cavity 352, and filling the void with the alloy. Finally, the first servo motor 276 also controls the mold unit 3 to be in a horizontal state until the aluminum-zinc alloy ingot is formed.

[0082] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
