[0002] As the core process in aluminum bar production, continuous casting technology has become the mainstream production method in the aluminum processing industry due to its significant advantages of shortening the process flow, increasing metal yield, and reducing energy consumption. It widely supports the demand for aluminum guide rods and special aluminum alloy rods in fields such as new energy, power grids, and rail transportation.

[0003] In current continuous casting production of aluminum bars, the aluminum molten metal is cast in a complex environment with high temperature and abundant steam. During solidification, the flow rate of the aluminum molten metal needs to be precisely controlled to reduce defects such as porosity, shrinkage cavities, cold shuts, and surface cracks. Existing technologies cannot monitor and respond quickly in real time during the casting process. As a result, the aluminum molten metal generates more internal stress during the forming process due to the limitation of the mold.

[0038] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this invention provides an automated casting device based on eddy currents, including a working chamber 01. An auxiliary mechanism is installed within the working chamber 01. This auxiliary mechanism is used for cooling during aluminum ingot forming. It can directly or indirectly contact the molten aluminum via circulating water or external gas, allowing the molten aluminum to cool and solidify, ensuring rapid and continuous forming of the molten aluminum during continuous flow, thus achieving continuous aluminum ingot production. A flow control mechanism is also connected to the working chamber 01. The molten aluminum flows stably and is cooled into ingots via the flow control mechanism. By controlling the flow rate of the molten aluminum, the flow control mechanism ensures stable forming and avoids overflow or excessive internal stress. A forming mechanism is also connected to one side of the flow control mechanism. The forming mechanism works in conjunction with the auxiliary mechanism, cooling the aluminum ingot and ensuring it is formed to the specified specifications.

[0041] The flow control mechanism includes an upper ladle 05 for feeding. One side of the upper ladle 05 is connected to a flexible sleeve 42 for guiding the flow and a fixed ladle 41. The bottom of the fixed ladle 41 is connected to a vertically positioned hopper 33. The upper ladle 05 receives externally supplied molten aluminum, which is then guided through the flexible sleeve 42 into the fixed ladle 41. The flexible sleeve 42 is made of a flexible, high-temperature resistant material, thus achieving a flexible connection. The hopper 33 guides the molten aluminum from the fixed ladle 41 into the lower ladle 13, achieving secondary transfer. The lower ladle 13 is positioned below the hopper 33. One side of the lower ladle 13 is connected to a horizontal flow channel 27 connected to the forming mechanism. The lower ladle 13 receives the molten aluminum falling from the hopper 33, providing secondary buffering and guidance. The molten aluminum undergoes initial cooling and flow through the horizontal flow channel 27. The process begins with slow molding. A support frame 12 is connected to one side of the lower ladle 13, and a control component is connected to one side of the support frame 12. The moving end of the control component is connected to a connecting frame 08, and the other end of the connecting frame 08 is connected to a flow control component located in the hopper 33. The support frame 12 is used to support and stabilize the control component and the flow control component. The control component can control the movement of the flow control component, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the aluminum liquid in the hopper 33, thus ensuring the flow rate of the aluminum liquid in the lower ladle 13 and ensuring the stability of the flow speed of the aluminum liquid in the horizontal flow channel 27. An eddy current sensor 09 is also connected to one side of the support frame 12. The detection end of the eddy current sensor 09 is located directly above the lower ladle 13. The control component drives the connecting frame 08 to move and drives the guide sleeve 2 39 to move, thereby controlling the flow rate of the aluminum liquid in the hopper 33.

[0042] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: During operation, molten aluminum is supplied to the upper ladle 05 from the outside. The molten aluminum enters the lower ladle 13 through the flexible sleeve 42, the fixed ladle 41, and the discharge hopper 33 for buffering and slow cooling. Then, it undergoes secondary cooling through the horizontal flow channel 27 and enters the forming mechanism for final cooling and solidification. During the flow process, the eddy current sensor 09 senses the height of the molten aluminum in the lower ladle 13 in real time. When the liquid level rises, the flow control component can be activated by the control component to change the flow area of ​​the molten aluminum in the discharge hopper 33, thereby controlling the flow rate of the molten aluminum and ultimately controlling the flow velocity of the horizontal flow channel 27. This achieves more precise aluminum ingot forming, ensuring stable surface shape while reducing internal stress inside the aluminum ingot and improving product quality.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Combination Figures 1-8 This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1, further described in the following aspects:

[0045] The control component includes a transmission box 34 fixedly connected to the support frame 12. A guide sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission box 34. A movable column 35 is slidably fitted inside the guide sleeve 11. A connecting column 81 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable column 35, and a protective ring 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting column 81. The movable column 35 can slide up and down along the guide sleeve 11, thereby driving the protective ring 36 and the connecting frame 08 to move via the connecting column 81, thus driving the corresponding flow control component to move up and down. A wire 80 extending into the connecting frame 08 is provided inside the protective ring 36. The wire 80 is made of high-temperature resistant multilayer composite material wrapped with conductive metal, used for power supply and data transmission. A second gearbox 84 is connected inside the transmission box 34. The second gearbox 84 has two input terminals, which are respectively connected to a second motor 83 and a second manual wheel 43. A lead screw 86 is driven to the output terminal of the second gearbox 84. The outer spiral drive is fitted with a threaded sleeve 85 that slides against the inner wall of the guide sleeve 11. The top of the threaded sleeve 85 is fixedly connected to a spring 87 that is fixedly connected to the moving column 35. An electromagnet 82 is provided on the outer side of the threaded sleeve 85 and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide sleeve 11. Through the power output of the motor 2 83 or by manually cranking the manual wheel 2 43, the corresponding lead screw 86 can be driven to rotate through the speed transmission 2 84. The speed transmission 2 84 is an existing mechanism, which is a combination of gears, drive shafts or other transmission components to realize power transmission. The rotation of the lead screw 86 will drive the threaded sleeve 85 under the limitation of the guide sleeve 11 to move. The moving column 35 and the threaded sleeve 85 are filled with oil. When the threaded sleeve 85 moves, the moving column 35 moves due to the force of the liquid. And through the magnetic force of the electromagnet 82, the threaded sleeve 85 can also move, thereby indirectly driving the moving column 35 to move.

[0046] The flow control assembly includes a guide sleeve 39 fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting frame 08. A manual wheel 38 is rotatably connected to the top of the guide sleeve 39. A threaded rod 88 extending into the guide sleeve 39 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the manual wheel 38. A blocking column 40, which is slidably fitted with the guide sleeve 39, is screwed to the outside of the threaded rod 88. A sensor group 89 electrically connected to a wire 80 is connected to the bottom of the blocking column 40. The bottom of the blocking column 40 extends into the hopper 33. During the up-and-down movement of the connecting frame 08, the guide sleeve 39 and the blocking column 40 will move up and down. The relative displacement between the bottom of the blocking column 40 and the bottom of the hopper 33 will produce different through-hole diameters, thereby controlling the flow rate of the aluminum liquid above and achieving different flow rates of aluminum liquid. At the same time, according to the previous needs, the manual wheel 38 can be rotated to drive the corresponding threaded rod 88 to rotate, so that the initial position of the blocking column 40 is different, and the adjustment range is different to adapt to different production needs. The sensor group 89 is an existing mechanism that can detect the temperature, density, and internal bubbles of the corresponding aluminum liquid.

[0047] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: During operation, the height of the molten aluminum on the lower ladle 13 is detected by the eddy current sensor 09, which indirectly measures the flow of the molten aluminum. At this time, the motor 83 is controlled and transmitted through the gearbox 84 to drive the lead screw 86 to rotate, thereby moving the corresponding threaded sleeve 85. Through the transmission of liquid, the moving column 35 moves, further driving the connecting frame 08, the guide sleeve 39, and the blocking column 40 to move. The relative displacement between the bottom of the blocking column 40 and the bottom of the hopper 33 will produce different through-hole diameters, thereby controlling the flow rate of the molten aluminum above and achieving different flow rates of molten aluminum to ensure the stability of the molten aluminum solidification in the later stage. In addition, it can control the current flux of the electromagnet 82 to generate different magnetisms and control the position of the threaded sleeve 85 to ensure the stable operation of the system in the event of failure of the motor 83 or other needs.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] Combination Figures 1-10 This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1, further described in the following aspects:

[0050] The forming mechanism includes a reversing wheel 02 mounted on the working box 01. The reversing wheel 02 is connected to a follower roller 04 via a sprocket drive. One side of the follower roller 04 is connected to a support 03 connected to the working box 01. The support 03 can rotate on the working box 01 and can be displaced a certain distance, thereby adjusting the position of the follower roller 04 and the pressure applied to the crystallizing wheel 14. The follower roller 04 can also be easily replaced to adapt to different forming operations. The outer side of the follower roller 04 is also in contact with a steering assembly that rotates relative to the working box 01. The steering assembly is used for the rotational deformation and guidance of the initially solidified aluminum ingot. A flow stabilizing sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the working box 01 on one side of the steering assembly. The flow stabilizer sleeve 16 is provided with a flow guide groove. A flow guide box 15 connected to the flow guide groove is fixedly connected to one side of the flow stabilizer sleeve 16. A slag discharge groove 26 extending to the side of the working box 01 is fixedly connected to one side of the flow guide box 15. A guide frame 07 is also fixedly connected to the working box 01. The bottom of the guide frame 07 cooperates with the flow stabilizer sleeve 16. After the aluminum liquid has been initially solidified, certain bubble protrusions or irregular protrusions will appear on the surface. When the flow stabilizer sleeve 16 rotates, it will be cut by the flow stabilizer sleeve 16 and enter the flow guide box 15 through the flow guide groove for initial collection, thereby ensuring the stability of the surface of the aluminum ingot after forming. With the auxiliary guidance of the guide frame 07, the aluminum ingot can rotate and move stably.

[0051] A reinforcing plate 06 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide frame 07. Multiple guide posts 19 for guiding aluminum ingots are fixedly connected to both the reinforcing plate 06 and the working box 01. A sealing plug that engages with the working box 01 is provided on one side of the slag discharge trough 26. A blocking plate 71 is also connected to the top of the flow stabilizing sleeve 16. The reinforcing plate 06 provides protection and increases the rigidity of the guide frame 07. The guide posts 19 can be selected according to specific usage requirements. The sealing plug is used to seal the slag discharge trough 26 after the work is completed. The blocking plate 71 is used to protect and limit the two sides of the flow stabilizing sleeve 16 to prevent the scraped aluminum impurities from overflowing everywhere.

[0052] The steering assembly includes a transmission tube 74 rotatably connected to the working box 01. A crystallizing wheel 14 is fixedly connected between the two transmission tubes 74. A mounting shaft 75 is fixedly connected to the working box 01 for rotatably engaging with the transmission tubes 74. The mounting shaft 75 supports the transmission tubes 74 and guides the liquid within them, enabling fluid flow. The crystallizing wheel 14 is hollow and has multiple functional zones for separate water flow, ensuring the overall rigidity of the crystallizing wheel 14. An annular groove that mates with the flow guide groove is provided on the outer side of the crystallizing wheel 14. The annular groove and the flow stabilizing sleeve 16... In conjunction with this, the cooled and solidified aluminum can be guided and shaped. One end of the horizontal flow channel 27 extends into the annular channel. Under pressure, the liquid enters the crystallizing wheel 14 and flows along the functional area. Through the conduction of the crystallizing wheel 14, the aluminum ingot is cooled. The working box 01 is also equipped with a driver. The output end of the driver is connected to the transmission tube 74. The driver is an existing mechanism, that is, through power supply, using a motor or other device to convert electricity into mechanical energy, and through existing gear racks or other basic transmission components, it drives the transmission tube 74, so that the transmission tube 74 can rotate.

[0053] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: During operation, the molten aluminum enters the crystallizing wheel 14 through the horizontal flow channel 27. At this time, it is ensured that the molten aluminum is at the periphery of the solidification temperature. When it comes into contact with the crystallizing wheel 14, due to the low temperature of the crystallizing wheel 14, the surface is rapidly solidified and formed. Under the constraint of the crystallizing wheel 14 and the flow stabilizing sleeve 16, it is bent and turned, and moves out of the working box 01 along the guide frame 07 to achieve turning. During this process, some gas in the aluminum ingot can be discharged and the internal stress of the aluminum ingot can be evened out, reducing subsequent cracking and other uneven stress. During the rotation and forming process, one side conduction pipe 74 is connected to the external water inlet, and then flows through the other side conduction pipe 74 to another mounting shaft 75 to achieve fluid flow. During the fluid flow, a large amount of heat is carried away, which promotes the rapid forming of the aluminum ingot.

[0054] Example 4:

[0055] Combination Figure 1-12 This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1, further described in the following aspects:

[0056] The auxiliary mechanism includes a volumetric tank 21 housed within the working chamber 01. The volumetric tank 21 contains an isolation chamber 22 and a replenishment tank 25. A circulation pump 23 is mounted on the top of the isolation chamber 22, and the input end of the circulation pump 23 extends into the replenishment tank 25. The output end of the circulation pump 23 is connected to one of the conduction pipes 74, and the other conduction pipe 74 is connected to a high-temperature pipe 30. When water flows through the crystallizing wheel 14, the temperature of the crystallizing wheel 14 rises due to the heating of the high-temperature molten aluminum, and this temperature is transferred to the internal liquid. The water pumped by the circulation pump 23 flows from a narrower pipe into the larger cavity of the crystallizing wheel 14, where the flow rate slows down. During the flow, the water is continuously heated by the high-temperature crystallizing wheel 14, forming a higher-temperature liquid, which is then further transferred through the high-temperature pipe 30. One side of the high-temperature pipe 30 is connected to… A distribution box 32 extends to the outside of the working box 01. One side of the distribution box 32 is connected to a low-temperature pipe 31, and the other end of the low-temperature pipe 31 is connected to a cooling box 18 located inside the working box 01. One side of the cooling box 18 is connected to a cooling pipe 20 located inside the working box 01, and the other end of the cooling pipe 20 extends into a replenishment box 25. The replenishment box 25 stores water, which is then pumped by the circulation pump 23 and flows into the corresponding conduction pipe 74. Finally, after passing through the crystallizing wheel 14, it enters the high-temperature pipe 30, which contains high-temperature and high-pressure water. A disturbance component connected to the upper pouring ladle 05 is also connected to the distribution box 32. The working box 01 is provided with multiple through holes. One side of the replenishment box 25 is connected to an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe extending to the outside of the working box 01. A central control component is connected to the working box 01.

[0057] The disturbance component includes two support tubes 17 fixedly connected to the working box 01. The top ends of the two support tubes 17 are connected to a stabilizing box 50, which provides support. A motor 59 is connected inside the stabilizing box 50. The power output end of the motor 59 is driven by a gearbox 57 located inside the stabilizing box 50. The output end of the gearbox 57 is driven by a cam 56. The outer side of the cam 56 contacts a movable plate 53 that is slidably sleeved with the stabilizing box 50. A support column 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 53, and the top end of the support column 54 is fixedly connected to a... The upper ladle 05 is fixedly connected to the connecting piece 55. A push plate 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving plate 53, and a spring 51 fixedly connected to the stabilizing box 50 is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 52. The torque output by the motor 59 is transmitted through the gearbox 57 to drive the cam 56 to rotate. The cam 56 pushes the moving plate 53 to move back and forth periodically. The spring 51 causes the moving plate 53 to return to its position, thereby macroscopically realizing the back and forth oscillation of the connecting piece 55, causing the upper ladle 05 to produce a small amount of rapid back and forth swing, which can remove some of the residual gas in the aluminum liquid during pouring.

[0058] Example 5:

[0059] A casting system based on an automated casting device using eddy current includes a data acquisition module, a data analysis module, an execution control module, and a fault early warning module.

[0060] The data acquisition module is electrically connected to the eddy current sensor 09, sensor group 89 and status sensors of each mechanism to collect aluminum liquid flow rate, temperature, pressure and equipment operating parameters;

[0061] The data analysis module is used to process the collected data and compare it with preset thresholds;

[0062] Based on the data analysis results, the execution control module outputs control commands to the actuators such as motor 83, electromagnet 82, reversing wheel 02, and circulating pump 23.

[0063] The fault warning module is used to issue an alarm signal when the data exceeds a preset threshold.

[0064] The execution control module is connected to an emergency stop switch.

[0065] The system integrates and transmits data from the eddy current sensor 09, sensor group 89, and status sensors of various mechanisms through the central data analysis module, and then transmits the data to the data analysis module for judgment.
