Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper alloy casting equipment technology, and in particular to a casting equipment for multi-stage dynamic temperature-controlled continuous casting production of copper alloys. Background Technology
[0002] Copper alloy casting equipment is an industrial device specifically designed for melting copper alloys and casting them into products of specific shapes. It mainly includes furnaces (such as induction furnaces and cupola furnaces, used to heat and melt copper and alloy raw materials), holding furnaces (to maintain the stable temperature of the copper alloy liquid), casting systems (such as ladles and runners to control the flow of molten metal), molds (sand molds, metal molds, or die-casting molds, etc., which determine the shape of the product), and cooling, cleaning, and post-processing equipment. By precisely controlling the temperature, composition, and casting process, it achieves efficient and high-quality production of copper alloy parts.
[0003] In actual copper alloy casting production lines, especially in the tundish insulation stage, operators usually manually sprinkle powdered or granular insulation agents directly onto the surface of the molten alloy in the tundish to reduce heat loss and maintain a stable temperature. However, in actual use, these insulation agents may clump together due to moisture or other reasons, making it impossible to spread evenly. This is especially true in environments with high temperatures and insufficient airflow in the tundish, which affects the stability and consistency of the insulation effect. Ultimately, this has an adverse impact on the fluidity of the copper alloy, its filling capacity, and the quality of the castings, thus restricting the overall precision and yield of the casting process.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.
[0026] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a casting equipment for multi-stage dynamic temperature-controlled continuous casting production of copper alloys, which can achieve the effect of vibration dispersion of the heat-insulating agent. It includes a main body 10 and a vibration component 20 disposed inside the main body 10. The vibration component 20 includes a mounting frame 201 and a fixed seat 203, which provide support; and a cam rotor 202 disposed between the mounting frame 201 and the fixed seat 203. The cam rotor 202 is movably mounted on the mounting frame 201 and the fixed seat 203 using bearings. The mounting base 204, located between the fixed seats 203 and outside the cam rotor 202, is movably mounted on the outer wall of the cam rotor 202 using bearings. The fixed bearings contain a sliding ring that matches and is slidably connected to the cam rotor 202. A lifting plate 205 is located inside the mounting base 204 and is slidably connected to the interior of the mounting base 204. A sliding rod 206 is located outside the lifting plate 205. When the lifting plate 205 moves up and down, it can drive the sliding rod 206. 06. A sliding plate 208, which moves up and down and is located outside the sliding rod 206, can move on the outer wall of the sliding rod 206. A spring 207 is located between the sliding plate 208 and the lifting plate 205. The spring 207 can limit the movement distance of the sliding plate 208 by utilizing its spring characteristics. A connecting plate 209 is located at the bottom of the sliding plate 208. When the sliding plate 208 is moving, an auxiliary spring 210 is located outside the sliding rod 206 and an auxiliary block 211 is located at the bottom of the lifting plate 205. When the sliding plate 208 is moving, the sliding plate 208... It can drive the connecting plate 209 to move up and down; when the cam rod 202 rotates, it drives the lifting plate 205 to move through the cooperation with the auxiliary block 211. The lifting plate 205 then uses the transmission of the spring 207, the slide rod 206 and the auxiliary spring 210 to make the connecting plate 209 reciprocate up and down. When the lifting plate 205 is moving, the lifting plate 205 can drive the connecting plate 209 to move. In the process of movement, the connecting plate 209 can be continuously reciprocated through the auxiliary spring 210 and the spring 207.
[0027] In use, when the cam rotor 202 starts to rotate, its special contour design forms a precise match with the auxiliary block 211. This match is not a simple contact, but rather a periodic push and pull generated by the alternating engagement and disengagement of the protrusions of the cam rotor 202 and the auxiliary block 211. This drives the lifting plate 205 to move up and down along a preset track. Simultaneously, the movement of the lifting plate 205 also moves the slide bar 206 and causes the spring 207 to deform. When the lifting plate 205 moves upward, the spring 207 is stretched, storing a certain amount of elastic potential energy; when the lifting plate 205 moves downward, the spring 207 contracts under its own elastic force. During these movements of the spring 207, the slide plate 208 connected to its other end is subjected to the spring's tension or push, thus moving along with the spring 207. The movement of the slide plate 208 then transmits... The connecting plate 209 is then connected to the slide plate 208, causing it to move accordingly. When the slide plate 208 descends, the auxiliary spring 210 is compressed, and the resulting elastic force applies a downward pressure to the slide plate 208. It is due to the interaction between the cam rod 202 and the auxiliary block 211, the elastic deformation of the spring 207, and the pressure of the auxiliary spring 210 that the slide plate 208 can achieve continuous reciprocating motion. During the reciprocating motion of the slide plate 208, pressure and tension are continuously applied to the connecting plate 209. Since the connecting plate 209 is connected to the screen base 403, this periodic force is transmitted to the screen base 403, causing the screen base 403 to vibrate. Under the action of vibration, the insulation agent inside the screen base 403 is continuously dispersed and separated, thereby achieving a good dispersion treatment effect and ensuring that the insulation agent can be evenly distributed to meet subsequent use requirements.
[0028] In summary, by setting up spring 207 and auxiliary spring 210, the device, driven by the cooperation of cam rod 202 and auxiliary block 211, causes the lifting plate 205 to move with the help of spring 207, which in turn drives the sliding plate 208 to move. The sliding plate 208 further pushes the connecting plate 209, and with the synergistic effect of auxiliary spring 211, the connecting plate 209 produces a stable and regular up-and-down reciprocating motion. This motion is directly transmitted to the screen base 403 through the connecting plate 209, thereby effectively causing the insulation agent inside the screen base to vibrate and loosen, significantly improving the uniformity of the insulation agent's dispersion, and ensuring the stability of the insulation effect during the subsequent casting process.
[0029] Example 2, refer to Figures 2 to 7 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, it solves the problem of how to improve the dispersion effect of the heat-insulating agent.
[0030] Specifically, a transmission component 30 is provided on one side of the vibration component 20. The transmission component 30 includes a connecting seat 301 and a rotating disk 306. A crank 302 is provided at the top of the connecting seat 301, and a cam 303 is provided at one end of the crank 302. The rotating disk 306 is arranged in an upper and lower structure. The connecting seat 301 and the crank 302 are connected by a bearing, and the crank 302 and the cam 303 are connected by a bearing. Therefore, when the cam 303 rotates, the cam 303 can drive the rotating disk 306 to rotate.
[0031] Furthermore, a connecting plate 304 is provided on one side of the cam 303, and a connecting rod 305 is provided between the cam 303 and the rotating plate 306. When the cam 303 rotates, the cam 303 can drive the rotating plate 304 to rotate.
[0032] A reciprocating screw 307 is provided on one side of the rotary disk 306, and a stabilizing rod 308 is provided directly above the reciprocating screw 307. When the rotary disk 306 rotates, the rotary disk 306 can use the transmission connection with the reciprocating screw 307 to enable the reciprocating screw 307 to rotate, and the stabilizing rod 308 can increase the stability of the subsequent moving seat 401.
[0033] Preferably, a swing assembly 40 is provided on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 307. The swing assembly 40 includes a movable seat 401, a slide block 402 is slidably connected inside the movable seat 401, a transmission rod 406 is provided inside the movable seat 401, and a screen seat 403 is provided between the slide blocks 402. When the slide block 402 is reciprocating, the slide block 402 can move left and right inside the movable seat 401, and the transmission rod 406 is movably installed inside the movable seat 401.
[0034] Preferably, the bottom end of the transmission rod 406 is provided with an annular disk 404, and the inside of the annular disk 404 is provided with a protruding rod 405. The cam 405 at the bottom of the annular disk 404 is slidably connected to the groove on the outer wall of the reciprocating lead screw 307. The protruding rod 405 enables the transmission rod 406 to rotate slightly when the moving seat 401 moves. A linkage rod 407 is provided on the outer wall of the transmission rod 406. The linkage rod 407 is connected to the slide 402. The transmission rod 406 is fixed on the outer wall of the linkage rod 407. When the linkage rod 407 moves, it can use its connection with the slide 402 to transmit the force of the rotation of the transmission rod 406 to the slide 402.
[0035] Preferably, the main body 10 includes a crystallizer 101, a fixing plate 303 is provided on the outer wall of the crystallizer 101, and an intermediate ladle 102 is provided directly above the crystallizer 101. The crystallizer 101 can play a cooling function.
[0036] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 2.
[0037] In operation, when the crystallizer 101 starts running, it reciprocates up and down, generating power that is directly transmitted to the connected fixed plate 103, causing the fixed plate 103 to move synchronously. The movement of the fixed plate 103 is not isolated; it has a stable connection with the connecting seat 301, thus causing the connecting seat 301 to move as well. The movement of the connecting seat 301 provides driving force to the crank 302, causing it to move. Through its interaction with the cam 303, the crank 302 causes the cam 303 to rotate continuously. During the continuous rotation of the cam 303, the connecting rod at one end drives the connecting plate 304. This allows the connecting disc 304 to rotate continuously. The rotation of the connecting disc 304 is transmitted to the connecting rod 305 via the crossbar. The connecting rod 305 then transmits this rotational motion to another connecting disc 304, and the rotating disc 306 rotates synchronously during its rotation. The rotating disc 306 is connected to the reciprocating screw 307 and the cam rotor 202. Driven by its rotation, the reciprocating screw 307 and the cam rotor 202 also begin to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of the reciprocating screw 307, the groove on its outer wall and the protrusion on the annular disc 404 form a precise match. This matching relationship is like a set of... The precision gears and the rotation of the reciprocating screw 307 cause the annular disk 404 to move along the axial direction of the screw through the meshing of the groove and the protrusion. When it reaches one end, the annular disk 404 moves back in the opposite direction. When the annular disk 404 moves, the protrusion 405 is fixed inside the annular disk 404. During this movement, the annular disk 404 rotates slightly due to the matching of the protrusion 305 with the groove on the surface of the reciprocating screw 307. This force is transmitted to the transmission rod 406, causing it to rotate slightly around its fixed axis. This slight rotation of the transmission rod 406 is then transmitted to the linkage rod 407. The linkage rod 407 moves under the action of force, and through the connection between the linkage rod 407 and the slide 402, it drives the slide 402 to slide along the preset slide rail. There is a connection between the slide 402 and the sieve seat 403. Therefore, the sliding of the slide 402 will directly drive the sieve seat 403 to move synchronously. This movement of the sieve seat 403, in conjunction with the vibration generated by the cam rod 202, forms a more complex and efficient motion state, which can more effectively drive the insulation agent inside the sieve seat 403 to be screened and dispersed, allowing the insulation agent particles to be more fully separated, further improving the dispersion effect, and ensuring that the quality of the insulation agent meets the usage standards.
[0038] In summary, through the designed oscillating assembly, the core components, the reciprocating screw 307 and the annular disk 404, exhibit a precise and harmonious working relationship. The helical groove on the outer wall of the reciprocating screw 307 and the protrusion 405 inside the annular disk 404 form a tight fit. This design is as if a motion trajectory has been tailor-made for both of them. When the reciprocating screw 307 rotates, the groove exerts a certain force on the protrusion 405. Since the protrusion 405 is fixed inside the annular disk 404, this force will cause the annular disk 404 to rotate slightly along the axial direction of the reciprocating screw 307. This slight movement is not random but strictly follows the helical trajectory of the reciprocating screw 307, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the motion. The small-amplitude movement of the annular disc 404 directly acts on the transmission rod 406, generating a periodic force at the connection point. Driven by this force, the transmission rod 406 begins to move around its fixed axis. The fixation between the transmission rod 406 and the linkage rod 407 causes the slide block 402 to slide back and forth along the preset slide rail. The sliding of the slide block 402 causes the connected screen block 403 to move synchronously. In this continuous reciprocating motion, the thermal insulation agent inside the screen block 403 is constantly subjected to the bumps and collisions of the screen surface. The thermal insulation agent that may have clumped is gradually broken up, and the gaps between the particles increase, thereby achieving more effective dispersion and greatly improving the uniformity of thermal insulation agent dispersion.
[0039] Furthermore, when the crank 302 moves, it can transmit force to the connecting plate 304, which in turn transmits the rotational motion to the connecting rod 305 through the crossbar, ensuring that the rotational force can be transmitted without loss, ultimately driving the rotating plate 306 to rotate. This series of power transmission links are interconnected, and each component fully plays its role, so that the power is stably transmitted from the source to the subsequent working parts, effectively reducing the loss of power in the transmission process, significantly improving the overall operating efficiency and performance of the device, and making the entire decentralized processing process more efficient and stable.
