TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pouring equipment, and more particularly to a pouring equipment for casting large sculpture copper wall plates. BACKGROUND
[0002] Large sculpture copper wall plates are important artistic carriers in urban landscapes and cultural buildings, and the single plate area can reach dozens of square meters, and the thickness is usually 5-20 mm, which has both artistic decoration and structural stability requirements. When this type of copper wall plate is formed by casting process, it is necessary to ensure that the copper liquid is uniformly filled in the mold without pores, inclusions and cracks, and the surface finish and internal density are required to be high to adapt to the weather resistance requirements of outdoor long-term use. Due to the large size and complex shape (often containing curved surfaces and hollow structures), the pouring uniformity, temperature stability and impurity control of the copper liquid become key factors affecting the forming quality.
[0003] Currently, when casting large sculpture copper wall plates, the pouring means for large sculpture copper wall plates mainly relies on multiple people holding crucibles to pour cooperatively, which needs to divide the copper liquid (temperature about 1100-1200℃) melted by the furnace into multiple high-temperature crucibles, each crucible is connected with a long handle and a hand-held rod, and multiple operators cooperatively pour the copper liquid around the multiple pouring openings of the large wall plate mold. This pouring method of multiple cooperative operations is not only unsafe, but also difficult to keep the pouring speed and flow of each crucible consistent, which reduces the pouring efficiency and precision, resulting in uneven filling of the copper liquid in the mold, and local lack of material, accumulation and other phenomena, which reduces the casting forming efficiency and effect of large sculpture copper wall plates.

[0024] Beneficial effects: one or more technical solutions provided in the technical scheme have at least the following technical effects or advantages:
[0025] 1. The sliding seat cooperates with the electric sliding plate to realize the switching between the preheating in the heat preservation box and the pouring on the sliding seat, which helps to improve the casting efficiency of large sculpture plates.
[0026] 2. The first sliding rail, the second sliding rail and the plurality of groups of injection mechanisms are slidingly connected, the injection mechanism can realize the two states of gathering and dispersing by sliding: when gathering, the liquid outlet of the hot melting assembly is connected to receive the copper liquid, when dispersing, the pouring pipe of the mold is connected for pouring, which improves the efficiency and precision of copper liquid transfer and pouring, and further improves the forming efficiency and effect of large sculpture copper wall plates.
[0027] 3. The heat preservation box and hot melting components are integrated, and the mold preheating and copper melting can be carried out simultaneously, which shortens the overall process time, avoids the copper liquid from cooling down while waiting for the mold to preheat, improves processing efficiency, and ensures the casting and molding effect.
[0028] 4. The casting component can slide on the third slide rail to switch between the third and fourth states: In the third state, it connects to the filter and collection component to filter and remove impurities from the copper liquid, reducing the impurity content of the cast copper liquid and further improving the quality of the cast copper liquid; In the fourth state, it connects to the guiding component to accurately guide the filtered copper liquid into the casting pipe, further improving the casting accuracy.
[0029] 5. The third electric slider drives the pouring hopper to move horizontally. In the third state, the pouring hopper connects to the filter assembly to filter the copper liquid. In the fourth state, it connects to the guide assembly to achieve precise pouring. The switching process is smooth and leak-free. Through the cooperation of the inclined section and horizontal section of the sliding top trough with the guide assembly, in the third state, the rollers fit into the inclined section and the guide assembly retracts. In the fourth state, the rollers fit into the horizontal section and the guide assembly extends out to connect with the pouring pipe. No additional drive is required to achieve linkage of actions and improve the efficiency of the pouring operation.
[0030] 6. The volume adjustment component is connected inside the separator and linked with the sliding top tank. When the sliding top tank moves and separates, the volume adjustment component elastically rises to increase the volume of the separator. The separator is initially set with a smaller volume to avoid separating too much copper liquid in the separator when collecting impurities at the bottom of the casting hopper, thus ensuring the utilization rate of the copper liquid. Then, the space at the top of the separator increases, causing the level of the filtered copper liquid to drop to the bottom of the filter screen, achieving complete separation of copper liquid from impurities. This also facilitates the recovery and reuse of residual copper liquid in the casting hopper when it returns to the top of the separator.
[0031] 7. When the sliding top trough pushes the inclined surface of the second gear plate downward, the second gear idles in the single clutch, and the piston plate remains in place. After the sliding top trough separates, the elastic telescopic rod pulls the second gear plate upward, and through gear meshing, drives the piston plate downward, precisely increasing the volume of the liquid separator. The unidirectional transmission characteristic of the single clutch ensures the unidirectional controllability of the volume adjustment action, avoids reverse action caused by copper liquid pressure, and improves the stability of volume adjustment. After the piston plate descends and increases the volume, the copper liquid and impurities are stored in layers. The impurities remain above the filter screen, and the filtered copper liquid can be recycled separately, reducing copper liquid waste.
[0032] 8. The exhaust fan draws hot air from the furnace and guides it through the exhaust pipe into the mold inside the insulation box. The residual heat is used to preheat the mold, realizing energy recovery and utilization. This reduces energy consumption and effectively prevents the copper liquid from cooling suddenly due to the low temperature of the mold when pouring molten metal into the mold, thus avoiding casting defects in the copper wall plate and improving casting quality.

[0049] Reference Figures 1-12 This application provides a casting device for casting large-scale bronze sculpture panels, including a slide block 100 and a panel mold 600. A heat-insulating box 800 is fixed to one side of the slide block 100. The heat-insulating box 800 has an opening near the slide block 100. A hot-melt assembly 900 for melting molten copper is provided on the top surface of the heat-insulating box 800. Multiple outlets are provided on one side of the hot-melt assembly 900. An electric sliding plate 200 is slidably connected to the top surface of the slide block 100. The panel mold 600 is fitted onto the top surface of the electric sliding plate 200. Multiple casting pipes 610 are connected through the top surface of the panel mold 600. A first fixing plate 300 is fixed to the top surface of the insulation box 800. A first slide rail 400 and a second slide rail 500 are fixed to one side of the first fixing plate 300. There are two second slide rails 500 mirror images of the vertical center line of the first slide rail 400. The first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 are slidably connected to the top surface of the insulation box 800. The top surface of the first slide rail 400 and the top surfaces of the two second slide rails 500 are horizontally connected to a multi-component dispensing mechanism 700. The dispensing mechanism 700 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500. The wall panel mold 600 is pushed and moved by the electric sliding plate 200 and has two states.
[0050] In the first state, the electric slide plate 200 and the wall panel mold 600 are disposed inside the heat preservation box 800, the first fixing plate 300 is attached to the opening side wall of the heat preservation box 800, the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 are inserted into the top surface of the heat preservation box 800, and the multi-component injection mechanism 700 is brought together by sliding on the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 so that the multi-component injection mechanism 700 is respectively disposed at the bottom of multiple liquid outlets of the hot melt assembly 900;
[0051] In the second state, the electric slide plate 200 and the wall panel mold 600 are set on the top of the slide block 100, the first fixed plate 300 pulls the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 to extend outward from the top surface of the heat preservation box 800, and the multi-component injection mechanism 700 is dispersed by sliding on the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 so that the multi-component injection mechanism 700 is respectively set on the top of multiple casting pipes 610;
[0052] The slide block 100, in conjunction with the electric slide plate 200, can move the wall panel mold 600 and the multi-component injection mechanism 700 synchronously. When the wall panel mold 600 enters the heat preservation box 800, the injection mechanism 700 moves synchronously and adjusts to the bottom of the liquid outlet of the hot melt component 900. Then, when the wall panel mold 600 is moved out of the heat preservation box 800, the injection mechanism 700 moves synchronously and adjusts to the top of the wall panel mold 600. This allows for switching between two states: preheating of the wall panel mold 600 in the heat preservation box 800 and pouring on the slide block. This helps to improve the casting efficiency of large sculpture panels.
[0053] The first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 are slidably connected to the multi-component injection mechanism 700. The injection mechanism 700 not only moves with the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500, but also achieves two states of convergence and dispersion by sliding synchronously on the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500: when the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 move toward the heat preservation box 800, the multi-component injection mechanism 700 slides simultaneously on the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 to achieve rapid convergence and docking of the hot melt component 900 to receive the copper liquid at the outlet; when the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 move away from the heat preservation box, the multi-component injection mechanism 700 slides simultaneously on the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 to achieve rapid dispersion and docking of the mold's pouring pipe 610 for pouring, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of copper liquid transfer and pouring, and thus improving the forming efficiency and effect of large-scale sculptural copper wall panels;
[0054] The heat preservation box 800 and the hot melting component 900 are integrated. Because mold preheating and copper melting both require a long time, and continuous heating and heat preservation are needed after completion to maintain the melting and preheating effect, the energy consumption is increased. By making the mold preheating and copper melting simultaneous, the overall process time is shortened, the copper melt is prevented from cooling down while waiting for the mold to preheat, and the mold is prevented from cooling down while waiting for the copper melt to melt. The continuous heating time of the molten copper and the heat preservation time of the mold are reduced, thereby reducing energy consumption, improving processing efficiency, and ensuring the casting and molding effect.
[0055] In this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 700 includes a first electric slider 710 and a second electric slider 720. The first electric slider 710 is slidably connected to the top surface of the first slide rail 400, and the second electric slider 720 is slidably connected to the top surface of the second slide rail 500.

A filter collection component 750 is fixed between one side of the dispensing component 760 and one side of the third slide rail 730. A casting component 740 is slidably connected to the top surface of the third slide rail 730. The casting component 740 has two states by sliding on the third slide rail 730.
[0056] In the third state, the casting component 740 is moved to the top of the filter collection component 750, and the casting component 740 and the filter collection component 750 are connected through the interior, and the bottom of the injection component 760 is elastically contracted.
[0057] In the fourth state, the casting component 740 is translatably positioned on top of the injection guide component 760, and the casting component 740 and the injection guide component 760 are internally connected. The bottom end of the injection guide component 760 is pushed outward by the casting component 740 so that the bottom end of the injection guide component 760 descends and is internally connected to the casting pipe 610.
[0058] The dispensing mechanism 700 adjusts its overall position via the first electric slider 710 and the second electric slider 720 to adapt to the layout of the pouring pipe 610 for different molds, thus improving the applicability of pouring. The pouring assembly 740 can slide on the third slide rail 730 to switch between the third and fourth states: In the third state, it connects to the filter assembly 750 to filter and remove impurities from the molten copper, reducing the impurity content of the poured molten copper and further improving the quality of the poured molten copper. In the fourth state, it connects to the guide assembly 760 to accurately guide the filtered molten copper into the pouring pipe 610, further improving the pouring accuracy. The bottom of the guide assembly 760 has an elastic telescopic structure, which can tightly connect with the pouring pipe 610 in the fourth state to prevent molten copper leakage and improve pouring accuracy.

In the third state, the pouring hopper 743 connects to the filter collection component 750 to achieve copper liquid filtration. In the fourth state, it connects to the pouring guide component 760 to achieve precise pouring. The switching process is smooth and leak-free.
[0063] By cooperating with the guide assembly 760 through the inclined and horizontal sections of the sliding top groove 746, in the third state the roller 765 fits into the inclined section and the guide assembly 760 retracts; in the fourth state the roller 765 fits into the horizontal section and the guide assembly 760 extends out to connect with the pouring pipe 610. No additional drive is required to achieve action linkage and improve the efficiency of pouring operation.
[0064] In the fourth state, the transparent plate 745 is attached to the top surface of the sealed filter assembly 750 to prevent copper liquid from overflowing or external impurities from entering, while also facilitating observation of the internal state of the filter assembly 750.
[0065] In this embodiment, the injection guide assembly 760 includes a second fixing plate 761 fixed to the side wall of the first electric slider 710. A sealing plate 762 is elastically inserted into the top surface of the second fixing plate 761. The sealing plate 762 is attached to the bottom surface of the fixed push frame 744.

A spring 767 is sleeved on the outer wall of the second guide rod 766. The bottom end of the spring 767 is connected to the top surface of the second fixing plate 761. A roller 765 is provided on the top surface of the lifting frame 764. Two rollers 765 are mirrored about the vertical center line of the lifting frame 764. The rollers 765 roll and adhere to the bottom surface of the sliding top groove 746.
[0066] The sealing plate 762 is attached to the bottom surface of the fixed pusher 744 to ensure the sealing of the pouring hopper 743 and the guide tube 763 when they are connected, preventing copper liquid leakage. The roller 765 rolls and adheres to the bottom surface of the sliding top groove 746. The shape change of the sliding top groove 746 drives the lifting frame 764 to rise and fall, which in turn drives the guide tube 763 to extend and retract. The movement is smooth and without jamming. The second guide rod 766 cooperates with the spring 767 to provide elastic restoring force for the extension and retraction of the guide tube 763. At the same time, it plays a guiding role to prevent the guide tube 763 from deviating when it rises and falls, and to ensure precise connection with the pouring pipe 610.
[0067] In this embodiment, the filter collection assembly 750 includes a fixing block 751 fixed to the side wall of the third slide rail 730. A liquid separator 752 is disposed inside the fixing block 751. The liquid separator 752, the fixing block 751, and the top surface of the third slide rail 730 are all located on the same horizontal line. The liquid separator 752 is fixed inside the fixing block 751, and the liquid separator 752, the fixing block 751, and the top surface of the third slide rail 730 are on the same horizontal line, which facilitates the docking and translation of the casting hopper 743 and ensures the sealing of the casting hopper 743 during translation to prevent copper liquid from overflowing. By docking the liquid separator 752 with the casting hopper 743, the impurities precipitated at the bottom can be quickly separated into the liquid separator 752, improving the impurity separation efficiency, thereby improving the casting efficiency and casting molding accuracy.
[0068] In this embodiment, a filter screen 7521 is fixed inside the liquid separator 752; the filter screen 7521 fixed inside the liquid separator 752 can intercept precipitated impurities in the copper liquid, reduce the impurity content of the copper liquid, so as to separate the copper liquid into the liquid separator 752 for reuse.
[0069] In this embodiment, the filtration and collection assembly 750 further includes a volume adjustment component 753, which is connected through the inside of the liquid distribution cylinder 752. One side of the volume adjustment component 753 is elastically attached to the bottom surface of the horizontal section of the sliding top trough 746. The sliding top trough 746 separates from the volume adjustment component 753 by translation, so that one side of the volume adjustment component 753 can be elastically raised to increase the internal volume of the liquid distribution cylinder 752.
[0070] The volume adjustment component 753 is connected through the inside of the liquid separator 752 and is linked with the sliding top tank 746. When the sliding top tank 746 moves and separates, the volume adjustment component 753 elastically rises to increase the volume of the liquid separator 752, so that the liquid level of the filtered copper liquid drops to the bottom of the filter screen 7521, realizing the complete separation of copper liquid from impurities, and facilitating the recycling of residual copper liquid in the pouring hopper 743 when the pouring hopper 743 returns to the top of the liquid separator 752.
[0071] In this embodiment, the volume adjustment component 753 includes a first guide rod 7531 and a single clutch 7535. The first guide rod 7531 is connected through to the bottom surface of the liquid separator 752. A piston plate 7532 is connected to the top end of the first guide rod 7531, and a lifting plate 7533 is connected to the bottom end of the first guide rod 7531. First toothed plates 7534 are fixed on both sides of the top surface of the lifting plate 7533. The top ends of the first toothed plates 7534 are inserted into the interior of the fixing block 751. The single clutch 7535 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the fixing block 751. The single clutch 7535 is related to the fixing block 751. Two mirror images are arranged on the vertical centerline of block 751. One end of single clutch 7535 is fixed with a first gear 7536. One side of the first gear 7536 is meshed with the first toothed plate 7534. The other end of single clutch 7535 is inserted with a second gear 7537. One side of the second gear 7537 is meshed with the second toothed plate 7538. One side of the second toothed plate 7538 is fixed with an elastic telescopic rod 7539. The top end of the elastic telescopic rod 7539 is inserted into the fixed block 751. The side of the second toothed plate 7538 near the sliding groove 746 is provided with a slope structure.
[0072] The sliding groove 746 pushes the second toothed plate 7538 along the inclined structure, so that the second toothed plate 7538 descends and elastically fits the bottom surface of the sliding groove 746, and the second gear 7537 rotates freely in the single clutch 7535.
[0073] The sliding top groove 746 separates from the second toothed plate 7538 by translation. The elastic telescopic rod 7539 pulls the second toothed plate 7538 up, so that the first gear 7536, the single clutch 7535 and the second gear 7537 rotate, and the first toothed plate 7534 pushes the lifting plate 7533 down, and then the first guide rod 7531 pulls the piston plate 7532 down, so as to increase the internal volume of the liquid separator 752.
[0074] When the sliding top trough 746 pushes the inclined surface of the second toothed plate 7538 downward, the second gear 7537 idles within the single clutch 7535, and the piston plate 7532 remains in its original position. After the sliding top trough 746 separates, the elastic telescopic rod 7539 pulls the second toothed plate 7538 upward, and through gear meshing, drives the piston plate 7532 downward, precisely increasing the volume of the liquid separator 752. The unidirectional transmission characteristic of the single clutch 7535 ensures the unidirectional controllability of the volume adjustment action, avoids reverse action caused by copper liquid pressure, and improves the stability of volume adjustment. After the piston plate 7532 descends and increases the volume, the copper liquid and impurities are stored in layers, with impurities remaining above the filter screen 7521. The filtered copper liquid can be recycled separately, reducing copper liquid waste.
[0075] In this embodiment, the hot-melting assembly 900 includes a support frame 910 fixed to the top surface of the insulation box 800. A furnace 920 is fixed to the top surface of the support frame 910. A liquid distribution furnace 930 is connected through one side of the furnace 920. Multiple liquid outlet pipes 940 are connected through both sides of the liquid distribution furnace 930. After the furnace 920 melts the copper liquid, it is introduced into the liquid distribution furnace 930. The liquid distribution furnace 930 achieves uniform distribution of the copper liquid through the multiple liquid outlet pipes 940, which is adapted to the synchronous reception of the multi-component injection mechanism 700. The liquid distribution furnace 930 and the liquid outlet pipes 940 have built-in heating wires, which can maintain the molten state of the copper liquid, prevent the copper liquid from cooling down and solidifying, and ensure smooth copper liquid transportation.
[0076] In this embodiment, the hot-melting assembly 900 further includes an exhaust fan 960 disposed inside the support frame 910. A hot air pipe 950 is connected through one side of the exhaust fan 960 to the interior of the furnace 920, and an air outlet pipe 970 is connected through the bottom surface of the exhaust fan 960. The air outlet pipe 970 is connected through the interior of the insulation box 800, and the bottom end of the air outlet pipe 970 is connected through the pouring pipe 610 in the first state. The exhaust fan 960 draws hot air from the furnace 920 and introduces it into the mold inside the insulation box 800 through the air outlet pipe 970. The residual heat is used to preheat the mold, realizing energy recovery and utilization, reducing energy consumption, and effectively avoiding casting defects of the copper wall plate caused by the sudden cooling of the copper liquid due to the low temperature of the mold when pouring molten metal into the mold, thereby improving the casting quality.
[0077] Specifically, according to Figures 1-12 As shown, copper material is poured into the furnace 920 and heated to melt it into copper solution. The copper solution is then introduced into the separatory furnace 930. The wall panel mold 600 is positioned on the electric slide plate 200. The main controller controls the first electric slider 710 and the second electric slider 720, so that the first electric slider 710 slides on the first slide rail 400 and the second electric slider 720 slides on the second slide rail 500. The injection mechanism 700 of each component is set on the top of each injection pipe 610, and the position data of the first electric slider 710 and the second electric slider 720 are marked and recorded.
[0078] The electric sliding plate 200 is activated, pushing the wall panel mold 600 into the heat preservation box 800. The first fixed plate 300 pushes the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 to slide on the top surface of the heat preservation box 800. At the same time, the first electric slider 710 and the second electric slider 720 are activated to gather and concentrate the dispensing mechanism 700 until the first fixed plate 300 is fitted and sealed with the opening of the heat preservation box 800. At this time, the mold has entered the heat preservation box through the electric sliding plate 200. Subsequently, the exhaust fan 960 is activated to extract the hot air from the furnace 920 and introduce it into the wall panel mold 600 through the air outlet pipe 970 and the pouring pipe 610. The hot air heats the inside of the wall panel mold 600, realizing the preheating of the wall panel mold 600. This avoids the situation where the copper liquid cools down suddenly when it enters the wall panel mold 600 during subsequent pouring of high-temperature copper liquid, resulting in uneven distribution.
[0079] While the wall panel mold 600 is preheated, the molten copper introduced into the liquid distribution furnace 930 is discharged through multiple liquid outlet pipes 940 to the pouring hoppers 743 of each component pouring mechanism. The liquid distribution furnace 930 and the liquid outlet pipes 940 are equipped with heating wires to keep the molten copper in a molten state. The inner wall of the pouring hopper 743 is a quartz stone heat insulation structure. After the molten copper enters the pouring hopper 743, the pouring mechanism 700 is in the third state. The bottom of the pouring hopper 743 is connected to the inside of the liquid distribution cylinder 752, so that some copper solution and precipitated impurities enter the inside of the liquid distribution cylinder 752. The precipitate is filtered on the filter screen 7521, while some copper solution is filtered between the filter screen 7521 and the top surface of the piston plate 7532. By leaving the precipitated impurities in the copper solution inside the liquid distribution cylinder 752, the impurity content of the copper solution inside the pouring hopper 743 is reduced, and the quality of the subsequent molten copper poured from the pouring hopper 743 into the wall panel mold 600 is improved.
[0080] Then, the electric slide plate 200 is activated and slides back onto the slide block 100. The preheated wall panel mold 600 extends out from inside the insulation box 800. At the same time, the first electric slider 710 and the second electric slider 720 are activated. According to the pre-marked position data, while the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 move, each component injection mechanism 700 moves on the first slide rail 400 and the second slide rail 500 until the electric slide plate 200 moves back to the slide block 100. At this time, each component injection mechanism 700 has been adjusted to the top of each casting pipe 610.
[0081] Then, the third electric slider 741 of each component dispensing mechanism 700 is activated. The third electric slider 741 slides on the third slide rail 730 and pushes the fixed frame 742 and the fixed push frame 744 to translate, so that the pouring hopper 743 remains horizontal and slides against the top surface of the fixed block 751 to the top surface of the sealing plate 762. The transparent plate 745 moves with the fixed push frame 744 and adheres to the fixed block 751, so that the opening on the top surface of the dispensing cylinder 752 begins to close. The fixed push frame 744 drives the sliding top trough 746 to translate. The sliding top trough 746 pushes the roller 765 down through the inclined end, so that the lifting frame 764 drives the guide cylinder 763 and the second guide rod 766 to descend. The second guide rod 766 compresses the spring 767. The pouring hopper 743 translates so that the bottom surface remains adhered to and sealed on the sealing plate 762. Then the sliding top... The tank 746 moves horizontally and separates from the second toothed plate 7538. The elastic telescopic rod 7539 pulls the second toothed plate 7538 upward. The second toothed plate 7538 drives the second gear 7537 to rotate. The second gear 7537 drives the single clutch 7535 and the first gear 7536 to rotate synchronously. The first gear 7536 drives the first toothed plate 7534 downward. The lifting plate 7533 drives the piston plate 7532 to descend through the first guide rod 7531 to increase the internal volume of the liquid separator 752. This lowers the liquid level of the copper liquid inside the liquid separator 752 to below the filter screen 7521, filtering out impurities in the copper liquid onto the filter screen 7521. The filtered copper liquid is then separated from the impurities. The copper liquid and impurities are further separated inside the liquid separator 752, making it easier to reuse the filtered copper liquid.
[0082] As the sliding top groove 746 moves horizontally, the roller 765 rolls and fits against the horizontal section. The guide cylinder 763 connects with the pouring pipe 610. At this time, the top surface of the guide cylinder 763 is flush with the top surface of the sealing plate 762. The pouring hopper 743 continues to move and connects with the guide cylinder 763, introducing the molten copper into the wall panel mold 600. The wall panel mold 600 is preheated so that the molten copper can flow quickly after entering and fill the interior of the wall panel mold 600, ensuring the forming accuracy of the large sculpture copper wall panel.
[0083] Finally, after the molten copper inside the casting hopper 743 is introduced into the wall plate mold 600, the third electric slider 741 is activated to slide and reset. The spring 767 pushes the second guide rod 766 upward, causing the guide cylinder 763 to rise and separate from the casting pipe 610. The sliding top groove 746 moves horizontally, pushing the inclined surface of the second toothed plate 7538 to the bottom surface of the sliding top groove 746. The second toothed plate 7538 descends and engages with the second gear 7537, extending the elastic telescopic rod 7539. However, at this time, the second gear 7537 and the single clutch 7535 rotate freely, thus keeping the piston plate 7532 in the descending position until the casting hopper 743 moves horizontally back to the top of the distributor cylinder 752. At this time, because the liquid level inside the distributor cylinder 752 decreases, the molten copper remaining inside the casting hopper 743 can continue to drip into the distributor cylinder 752 for collection. Impurities are separated by the filter screen 7521, so that the molten copper can be recycled and reused, reducing the waste of molten copper.
