[0030] In view of the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a zinc ingot pouring residual material recycling system and method and application in non-magnetic metal sand mold pouring. The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0031] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a zinc ingot pouring residual material recycling system comprises: A mixing and water washing device is used to fully mix and wash the sand mold after the zinc ingot is demolded and some metal residual materials contained in the sand mold, so as to facilitate cooling of the metal residual materials while the sand mold is scattered, and facilitate separation of the sand mold and the metal residual materials. Specifically, the structure comprises a water pipe, a water pump, a support 2, a mixing drum 3, and a hopper 4. The present application first pours a platform 1 on the ground, then places and fixedly sets the support 2 on the platform 1, the support 2 is a support carried by the mixing drum 3 itself, then sets the mixing drum 3 driven to rotate by a motor on the support 2, the mixing drum 3 is provided with an inlet end and an outlet end at both ends thereof through flange connection, the connecting equipment for driving the mixing drum 3 to rotate is also provided at the inlet end and the outlet end, the driving motor is provided at the inlet end, the inlet end is provided with an inlet, a hopper 4 is connected and set at the inlet, the outlet end of the mixing drum 3 is provided with an outlet, the water pipe outlet is arranged opposite to the hopper 4, and the water pipe is connected to the water pump and communicated to a water source, so that the mixed material of the sand mold and the metal can be poured into the mixing drum 3 together with water. The material and water are poured into the mixing drum 3 together, the mixing is realized through rolling of the mixing drum 3, the water washing and cooling and separation of the metal and the sand mold are realized at the same time, and the clumped sand mold is broken through tumbling of the metal, washing of the water flow, and collision of the inner wall of the drum. Accordingly, some protrusions or blocks are preferably arranged in the mixing drum 3 to facilitate impact.

[0032] After the shaft mixes and cools the molding sand and metal, they need to be separated. Therefore, this application uses a gold sand separation device, which includes a separator 6 and a feeder 5. The separator 6 includes a protective cover 61, a connecting shaft 62, a spiral plate 63, and a first filter screen 64. The separator 6 is equipped with a cylindrical cover, one end of which is connected to a flange. The flange is fastened to the discharge port of the mixing drum 3. Multiple connecting shafts 62 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cover. The outer side of the multiple connecting shafts 62 surrounds the first filter screen 64, and the inner side is connected to the spiral plate 63. This creates a filter screen that can rotate with the mixing drum 3. At the same time, the filter screen, through the spiral plate 63 inside, forms a spiral conveyor channel to facilitate the conveying of metal blocks to the other end. The molding sand and water leak out through the first filter screen 64, leaving only the metal, thus effectively separating the metal from the molding sand and water. During this process, the separated metal slides and falls on the first filter screen 64 during transportation, thus impacting the first filter screen 64 and preventing a large amount of molding sand from becoming entangled on it. The filtered molding sand and water need to be collected, and this application provides a feeder 5 to discharge and transport the filtered molding sand and water. Specifically, the feeder 5 includes a trough-shaped guard plate 51, a discharge port 52, a baffle plate 53, a guide plate 54, and a conveying pipe 55; a baffle plate 53 is provided at one end of the trough-shaped guard plate 51, and a discharge port 52 is constructed at the bottom of the trough-shaped guard plate 51 at one end of the baffle plate 53. The bottom of the discharge port 52 is connected to the conveying pipe 55, and the guide plate 54 is connected above the baffle plate 53. The two ends of the guide plate 54 are connected to the inner wall of the trough-shaped guard plate 51. Thus, the filtered molding sand and water, after being blocked by the baffle plate 53, fall through the discharge port 52 into the conveying pipe 55 and are transported to the next stage for subsequent processing. The metal, as the separator 6 rotates, eventually falls into the guide plate 54 and finally into the collection frame placed below it for collection and later use. Generally, it is remelted and cast again.

[0033] The filtered molding sand and water mixture can be collected and recycled. Therefore, this application provides a water-sand separation device, which includes a filter plate 7. One end of the filter plate 7 is constructed with multiple water leakage holes 71, and a second filter screen 72 is laid on the filter plate 7.

[0034] In this system, the discharge port of the mixing drum 3 is connected to one end of the protective cover 61 via a flange. The trough-shaped protective plate 51 surrounds the separator 6, and the guide plate 54 is located at the bottom of one end of the separator 6. The conveying pipe 55 extends above one end of the filter plate 7. During use, the mixture of casting sand and metal enters the mixing drum 3 along with water in the hopper 4 for mixing, rolling, and washing. Then, it enters the separator 6 from the discharge end of the mixing drum 3 to separate the metal for recycling. The remaining water and molding sand are collected by the guide 5 and transported to the water-sand separation device for water-sand separation and reuse.

[0035] Thus, the system mixes and washes the material by the mixing drum 3 to facilitate the cooling and separation of the sand and metal, and then separates the metal residue and the water-sand mixture by the separator 6 in the sand-metal separation device to collect, and the water-sand mixture is transported to the water-sand separation device by the guide 5 to separate the water and sand for reuse. Through the design of the system, in the sand casting of non-magnetic metals such as zinc ingots and aluminum ingots, the metal residue is conveniently recovered, and the sand and metal are washed once, without introducing other impurities, without losing materials, without damaging the equipment, and facilitating the separation and recovery of various materials.

[0036] In one embodiment, in fact, the temperature of the sand is very high when it is demolded, and there are some large metal residues in the sand, and the system further comprises a first separation device for initially separating the sand and metal, and a mesh screen is used as the first separation device to preliminarily separate the sand and metal, and the separated sand-metal mixture is transported to the hopper 4. Thus, by performing a simple screening before washing, the large metal can be screened out, the material can be cooled, the material will not produce a large amount of steam when it is washed, and the sand mass is kept stable so as not to overheat, and it is more convenient to loosen when it is washed.

[0037] In one embodiment, in order to conveniently collect and transport the filtered sand-water mixture, the groove-shaped guard plate 51 in the present application comprises three parts, namely an integrally formed bottom arc-shaped plate 511, a middle vertical plate 512, and a top inclined plate 513, the center of the end of the separator 6 away from the guide plate 54 is located in the middle lower part of the middle vertical plate, so that the groove-shaped guard plate 51 can wrap the separator 6, and the metal blocks will not fall on the first filter screen 64 and splash and pollute the environment when the separator 6 rotates. At the same time, in order to facilitate the collection of the metal blocks, the guide plate 54 comprises an arc-shaped bottom plate 542 and a wing plate 541, the arc-shaped bottom plate 542 and the wing plate 541 are integrally formed, and the wing plate 541 is fastened and connected to the groove-shaped guard plate 51 by screws.

[0038] In one embodiment, in order to avoid the metal falling into the sand in various separations of the metal and the sand and water, the pore size of the first filter screen 64 is only for the largest sand particles to pass through. Similarly, in order to recycle the sand, the pore size of the second filter screen 72 is only for the smallest sand particles to pass through, and a gap is provided between the second filter screen 72 and the filter plate 7 to facilitate filtration.

[0039] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the second filter screen 72 is provided with a plurality of holes, and the holes are arranged in a staggered manner. Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to facilitate the joint use of the separator 6 and the material guide 5 in the sand separation device, the central axis of the separator 6 is arranged at an angle of 15 degrees with the central axis of the bottom arc-shaped plate 511, the bottom arc-shaped plate 511 near one end of the groove-shaped guard plate 51 is a half semicircle, the bottom arc-shaped plate 511 at the other end is a three-fifth circle, the middle vertical plate 512 is triangular, and the top inclined plate 513 is trapezoidal. The bottom arc-shaped plate 511 near one end of the groove-shaped guard plate 51 is constructed with an arc-shaped baffle and located below the guard cover 61, so that the groove-shaped guard plate 51 has a gap with the bottom of the separator 6. In this way, the material guide 5 can wrap the separator 6 to prevent the filtered material from splashing during filtration, while facilitating the transportation of each material.

[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 In order to facilitate the metal block to fall on the first filter screen 64 to form auxiliary vibration and help the sand and water to be filtered to prevent them from being condensed on the first filter screen 64 in a large amount, and to reduce the overall weight of the separator 6 to facilitate rotation, the connecting shaft 62 is arranged in a circular tube shape, the spiral plate 63 is arranged in a strip shape with a width consistent with the diameter of the connecting shaft 62 and is spirally fixed to the inside of the connecting shaft 62, and the spiral plate 63 forms a gap with the first filter screen 64 on both sides of the connecting shaft 62, which is consistent with the diameter of the connecting shaft 62. In this way, the spiral plate 63 arranged in a spiral and the first filter screen 64 form a conveying channel similar to a spiral conveyor, which facilitates the transportation of the metal block in the channel while being blocked by the spiral plate 63, and the metal block falls and hits the first filter screen 64 to form a vibration when it rotates to a high point, thereby facilitating the filtration of water and sand.

[0041] In one embodiment, in order to facilitate the transportation of the material and the sufficient mixing and loosening, the mixing drum 3 adopts forward rotation mixing and reverse rotation unloading mixing and is arranged in an inclined manner, like a mortar mixing tank.

[0042] In some embodiments, the application provides a zinc ingot pouring residual material recycling method, which uses a zinc ingot pouring residual material recycling system according to any one of the above embodiments to separate and recycle the sand and the metal residual.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 The zinc ingot pouring residual material recycling method includes the following steps: S1: Material and equipment preparation: prepare the material to be separated and recycled, start the mixing drum 3, and prepare the water source for flushing; the method recycles the sand and the metal residual after the zinc ingot is poured with sand and demolded, and the recycling method uses a bucket to recycle, which facilitates the transportation of the material and the sufficient mixing and loosening. The mixing drum 3 adopts forward rotation mixing and reverse rotation unloading mixing and is arranged in an inclined manner, like a mortar mixing tank, and is initially started in a forward rotation manner.

[0044] S2: Mixing: the mixed material of the zinc ingot to be separated and recovered and the sand after the mold is demolded is poured into the hopper 4, and the water pump is started to flush the mixed material with water while pouring the mixed material, so that the material and water are fully washed, cooled, loosened and separated in the mixing drum 3.

[0045] S3: Mixing and sand-metal separation: after the mixed material is mixed in the mixing drum 3 for a period of time with the rotation of the mixing drum 3, the mixed material is transported into the separator 6 by the reverse rotation of the mixing drum 3 for separation of sand, water and metal. During the separation, the mixture of water and sand is filtered through the first filter screen 64 and falls into the material guide 5, which is blocked by the material blocking plate 53 and is transported to the next stage through the material conveying pipe 55 to obtain the water-sand mixture. The remaining metal material falls into the material guide plate 54 and is collected in the collection box to obtain the filtered metal.

[0046] S4: sand-water separation: the water-sand mixture of sand and water is transported to the filter plate 7 through the material conveying pipe 55, and the water falls into the water tank below the filter plate 7 through the water leakage hole 71 to collect the washing water. The sand is collected in a container by manual or setting to obtain the washed sand for use.

[0047] In the specific implementation process, the washing water collected in step S4 is transported to a water tank after sedimentation to obtain clean water as flushing water for the next step S2 mixing. The sediment is dried naturally or by drying or frying and then mixed with new sand for reuse. At the same time, the washed sand collected in step S4 is dried naturally or by drying or frying for use. By observation or metal detection, if there is no metal, the sand is mixed with new sand for reuse. If there is metal, the metal is screened out and then mixed with new sand for reuse.

[0048] In this way, by using the method combined with the system, the metal residue can be conveniently recovered in the sand casting of non-magnetic metals such as zinc ingots and aluminum ingots, and the sand and metal are washed once. Neither other impurities are introduced nor material is lost, nor is the equipment damaged, and the separation and recovery of various materials are facilitated.

[0049] In an embodiment, the use ratio of new sand, washed sand after drying and fine sand is 5:3.5:1.5. Of course, more practical additives can adjust the ratio appropriately, such as one of 5:4:1, 5:3:2 or 4:4:2.

[0050] In one embodiment, the recycling system and recycling method in the present application are mainly used for recycling the excess material of non-magnetic metals such as zinc ingots and aluminum ingots after sand casting, therefore, the present embodiment provides an application of the zinc ingot casting excess material recycling system and recycling method in the sand casting of non-magnetic metals, and the specific application mode is to recycle the excess material of non-magnetic metals after sand casting by using the recycling system and recycling method in any one of the above embodiments.
