[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed" to another component, it can be directly on the other component or there can be another intermediate component fixed by the intermediate component. When a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there can be another intermediate component. When a component is referred to as being "disposed" on another component, it can be directly disposed on the other component or there can be another intermediate component. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0029] ​Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] Referring to Figure 1 The mold aluminum removing method comprises the following steps:

[0031] Solution preparation: NaOH solution is prepared, NaNO3 is used as oxidant, and benzotriazole is used as corrosion inhibitor to form a mixed solution;

[0032] Dissolution reaction: the mold with aluminum is placed in the mixed solution, and the aluminum on the mold reacts with NaOH to produce soft-textured sodium tetrahydroxy aluminate which is adsorbed on the surface of the mold;

[0033] High-frequency vibration: a high-frequency vibrator is used to vibrate the mixed solution, so that the sodium tetrahydroxy aluminate is separated from the surface of the mold, and the reaction of aluminum and NaOH is promoted;

[0034] Cleaning: the mold after reaction is taken out from the mixed solution, and is cleaned with pure water.

[0035] The solution preparation step specifically comprises:

[0036] Since the mold is made of manganese steel, if an acidic solution is used, the mold steel will be damaged while the aluminum is dissolved, so the acidic solution is not considered. The alkaline solution will not damage the mold steel while dissolving the aluminum, so sodium hydroxide solution is selected to react with aluminum. The reaction equation is: 2Al + 2NaOH + 6H2O→2Na[Al(OH)4]+3H2↑, the concentration of NaOH is 10%-20%, the concentration of NaNO2 is 3-5g / L, and the concentration of benzotriazole is 0.5-1.0g / L.

[0037] The dissolution reaction step specifically comprises:

[0038] The mixed solution is heated to a temperature of 60℃–80℃. Initially, the reaction between aluminum and sodium hydroxide solution is quite vigorous. However, as the reaction progresses, more and more aluminum is replaced by soft sodium tetrahydroxyaluminate (sodium aluminate), which is adsorbed onto the surface of the mold, thus affecting the further progress of the reaction. Therefore, a high-frequency vibration step is required. High-frequency vibration removes sodium tetrahydroxyaluminate from the mold surface, promoting the reaction between aluminum and NaOH, which is beneficial for the reaction within the deep holes. During the dissolution reaction, a large amount of hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide solution volatilize, requiring a well-ventilated environment. If the mold is frequently lifted out of the solution during the reaction, the aluminum is easily oxidized in the air, forming a dense alumina film, affecting the reaction rate. Therefore, the degree of aluminum corrosion should be checked only after no obvious bubbles emerge from the solution.

[0039] The method for removing aluminum adhering to molds also includes a pre-cleaning step, which is located before the dissolution reaction step. The pre-cleaning step specifically involves using a degreasing solution to clean the mold with aluminum adhering to it and removing the oil stains from the mold.

[0040] The method for removing aluminum adhering to molds also includes a surface polishing step, which is located after the cleaning step. The surface polishing step specifically involves polishing the mold surface after cleaning.

[0041] The method for removing aluminum adhering to molds also includes a waste liquid discharge step, which is located after the high-frequency vibration step. Specifically, the waste liquid discharge step involves neutralizing the solution after the reaction and then discharging it.

[0042] Please continue reading. Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The present invention also relates to a mold aluminum adhesion removal device for the above-mentioned mold aluminum adhesion removal method.

[0043] The mold aluminum sticking removal device includes a housing 10, a heating device 20, and a high-frequency vibrator 30.

[0044] The housing 10 is made of alkali-resistant and high-temperature-resistant material to facilitate the holding of the NaOH mixed solution. The top of the housing 10 has an open structure to facilitate mold entry. Specifically, the housing 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and four side walls 12 extending from the bottom plate 11. The bottom plate 11 has drainage holes 110 for draining waste liquid. The side walls 12 have grooves for installing the heating device 20, ensuring that the heating device 20 does not protrude from the side walls 12 and is not damaged by the mold. In this embodiment, the grooves are toothed. The heating device 20 is a heating tube. A high-frequency vibrator 30 is installed at the bottom of the bottom plate 11 of the housing 10 to vibrate the NaOH mixed solution.

[0045] The mold aluminum adhesion removing method of the present application forms a mixed solution by configuring a NaOH solution, using NaNO3 as an oxidizing agent, and benzotriazole as an inhibitor; places the mold with aluminum adhesion into the mixed solution, and the aluminum on the mold reacts with the NaOH to produce soft-textured sodium tetrahydroxy aluminate adsorbed on the surface of the mold; uses a high-frequency vibrator to vibrate the mixed solution, so that the sodium tetrahydroxy aluminate is separated from the surface of the mold, and the aluminum reacts with the NaOH, etc. Without heating and knocking, the aluminum adhesion on the mold is removed by using the reaction dissolution method, and the inhibitor and the oxidizing agent are added to control the reaction speed, prevent excessive corrosion from damaging the mold, and the operation is simple and does not damage the mold.

[0046] The above examples only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent. It should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which are equivalent modifications and evolutions of the above examples according to the essential technology of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
