Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of zinc-aluminum alloy manufacturing technology, and in particular to an ingot forming apparatus and method for zinc-aluminum alloy processing. Background Technology

[0002] Zinc-aluminum alloy is a metallic alloy made primarily of zinc and aluminum, with added elements such as copper and magnesium. It possesses high strength, high hardness, and good wear and corrosion resistance. Its casting and machinability are excellent, allowing for machining processes such as turning, milling, and drilling. An ingot is a solid billet with a specific shape and specifications formed by pouring molten zinc-aluminum alloy into a mold and allowing it to cool and solidify. It serves as the raw material for subsequent plastic processing or remelting.

[0003] In existing ingot casting production lines, multiple molds circulate and move back and forth on a chain conveyor mechanism at a relatively slow speed. The molds receive molten zinc-aluminum alloy as they pass under the injection device, and then slowly move towards the end of the chain conveyor mechanism, i.e., the unloading station, where they are unloaded.

[0004] However, in order to provide sufficient cooling time to ensure that the molten zinc-aluminum alloy can fully solidify and form during the process from receiving the mold to moving to the unloading station, the existing technology makes the chain conveyor mechanism too long. This results in a lengthy equipment with low space utilization, occupying a large area of ​​the factory and increasing site costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a casting ingot forming device and method for zinc-aluminum alloy processing, which aims to solve the problems of existing technology equipment being too long and cumbersome, having low space utilization, and occupying a large factory area, thus increasing site costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a casting ingot forming device for zinc-aluminum alloy processing, including a base, a pouring mechanism, a chain conveying mechanism, multiple molds, multiple support legs, a large water tank, a small water tank, multiple vertical pipelines, multiple nozzles, and a material feeding and conveying mechanism. The casting mechanism is mounted on the base; the chain conveyor mechanism is mounted on the base; multiple molds are mounted on the chain conveyor mechanism; the chain conveyor mechanism is used to drive the multiple molds to move cyclically; multiple support legs are fixedly mounted on the base; the large water tank is fixedly mounted on the top of the multiple support legs; the small water tank is fixedly mounted inside the large water tank; multiple vertical pipes are respectively fixedly connected to the large water tank and the small water tank, and sequentially pass through the bottom of the large water tank and the small water tank; a nozzle is connected to the top of each vertical pipe; the material feeding conveyor mechanism is mounted on the base.

[0007] The zinc-aluminum alloy ingot forming device also includes a water supply pipeline and a drainage pipeline. The water supply pipeline is connected to the bottom end of the plurality of vertical pipelines and is located below the large water tank; the drainage pipeline is connected to the large water tank and is located on one side of the large water tank.

[0008] The material feeding and conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt, a receiving inclined plate, and an elastic support member; The conveyor belt is fixedly mounted on the top of the base; the elastic support is mounted on the top of the base; the lower end of the receiving inclined plate is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt, and the middle part of the receiving inclined plate is supported by the elastic support.

[0009] The elastic support includes a mounting box, a slider, two dampers, two springs, and two support rods. The mounting box is fixedly mounted on the top of the base; the slider is slidably mounted inside the mounting box; one end of each of the two dampers is fixedly connected to the slider, and the other end of each of the two dampers is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box; two springs are respectively sleeved on the two dampers; one end of each of the two support rods is rotatably connected to the slider, and the other end of each of the two support rods is rotatably connected to the middle of the receiving inclined plate.

[0010] The elastic support also includes a constraint axis; The constraint axis is fixedly installed inside the mounting box and slidably connected to the slider, and passes through the slider.

[0011] The zinc-aluminum alloy ingot forming device also includes a hammering mechanism. The striking mechanism is mounted on the base and is used to strike the bottom of the mold, causing the stuck zinc-aluminum alloy ingot to fall onto the conveyor belt.

[0012] The striking mechanism includes two support plates, a mounting shaft, a rotating rod, a striking block, and a driving component. Two support plates are fixedly mounted on the base; the mounting shaft is fixedly mounted between the two support plates; the rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft and is penetrated by the mounting shaft; the striking block is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod; the driving component is mounted on the support plate near the drainage pipe and is used to periodically press down the end of the rotating rod away from the striking block.

[0013] The striking mechanism also includes a limiting shaft; The limiting shaft is fixedly installed between the two support plates to limit the rotation rod and prevent the striking block from moving down excessively.

[0014] The driving component includes a support plate, a motor, a turntable, and two protrusions; The support plate is fixedly mounted on the support plate near the drainage pipe; the motor is fixedly mounted on the support plate; the turntable is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor; and the two protrusions are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the turntable.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for forming ingots for zinc-aluminum alloy processing, comprising the following steps: Cooling water is injected into the small pool and sprayed upwards through multiple vertical pipes and nozzles, causing the water in the small pool to surge and form a surging water surface higher than the top of the small pool. The zinc-aluminum alloy liquid is injected into the mold through the casting mechanism, and the chain conveyor mechanism drives multiple molds to move in a cycle. When the mold passes over the small water pool, the surging water surface contacts the bottom of the mold, takes away the heat, and cools and solidifies the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid in the mold into zinc-aluminum alloy ingots. The mold continues to move to the end of the chain conveyor and flips over. The zinc-aluminum alloy ingot formed inside falls off under the action of gravity and is received and transported away by the unloading conveyor. After the material is unloaded, the mold continues to move in a cycle along the chain conveyor mechanism, returning to the bottom of the casting mechanism to receive the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid again and enter the next cycle.

[0016] This invention discloses a casting ingot forming apparatus and method for zinc-aluminum alloy processing. The casting mechanism is mounted on a base and is used to inject molten zinc-aluminum alloy into the mold. A chain conveyor mechanism is mounted on the base and is used to drive multiple molds to move cyclically for continuous production. Multiple molds are mounted on the chain conveyor mechanism to receive the molten zinc-aluminum alloy injected by the casting mechanism and solidify during movement. Multiple support legs are fixedly mounted on the base to support a large water tank. The large water tank is fixedly mounted on top of the multiple support legs to receive cooling water overflowing from a small water tank, preventing water spillage and equipment contamination. A small water tank is fixedly mounted inside the large water tank and pre-filled with cooling water. Multiple vertical pipes are fixedly connected to the large water tank and the small water tank respectively, and sequentially pass through the bottom of the large water tank and the small water tank, for supplying high-pressure cooling water to the nozzle. Each of the vertical pipes is connected to a nozzle at its top, which sprays water upwards, causing the water in the small pool to surge and form a surging water surface higher than the top of the pool. The material conveying mechanism is mounted on the base and is used to receive the zinc-aluminum alloy ingots after demolding and transport them to the next workstation. With the above configuration, when the chain conveyor drives multiple molds to move in a cycle and pass over the small pool, the nozzles spray water upwards to form a surging water surface. The water surface directly contacts the bottom of the mold, forcibly cooling the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid inside the mold, greatly improving cooling efficiency, and allowing the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid to fully solidify and form within a shorter conveying path. As a result, the overall length of the chain conveyor mechanism is shortened, thus solving the problems of existing technology equipment being too long, having low space utilization, and occupying a large factory area, leading to increased site costs.

[0028] This invention provides a casting ingot forming device for zinc-aluminum alloy processing: including a base 1, a pouring mechanism 2, a chain conveying mechanism 3, multiple molds 4, multiple support legs 5, a large water tank 6, a small water tank 7, multiple vertical pipes 8, multiple nozzles 9, and a material feeding and conveying mechanism 10; the casting ingot forming device for zinc-aluminum alloy processing also includes a water supply pipe 11 and a drainage pipe 12; the material feeding and conveying mechanism 10 includes a conveyor belt 1001, a receiving inclined plate 1002, and an elastic support member 1003; the elastic support member 1003 includes a mounting box 100301, a slider 100302, two dampers 100303, two springs 100304, and two support rods 1003. 05; The elastic support 1003 also includes a constraint shaft 100306; The zinc-aluminum alloy processing ingot forming device also includes a hammering mechanism 13; The hammering mechanism 13 includes two support plates 1301, a mounting shaft 1302, a rotating rod 1303, a hammering block 1304, and a driving component 1305; The hammering mechanism 13 also includes a limiting shaft 1306; The driving component 1305 includes a support plate 130501, a motor 130502, a turntable 130503, and two protrusions 130504; The aforementioned solution solves the problem that the existing technology equipment is generally long and cumbersome, has low space utilization, occupies a large factory area, and thus increases site costs.

[0029] Furthermore, the casting mechanism 2 is disposed on the base 1; the chain conveying mechanism 3 is disposed on the base 1; multiple molds 4 are disposed on the chain conveying mechanism 3; the chain conveying mechanism 3 is used to drive the multiple molds 4 to move cyclically; multiple support legs 5 are fixedly disposed on the base 1; the large water tank 6 is fixedly disposed on the top of the multiple support legs 5; the small water tank 7 is fixedly disposed inside the large water tank 6; multiple vertical pipes 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the large water tank 6 and the small water tank 7, and pass through the bottom of the large water tank 6 and the small water tank 7 in sequence; a nozzle 9 is connected to the top of each vertical pipe 8; and the material feeding conveying mechanism 10 is disposed on the base 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, the casting mechanism 2 is mounted on the base 1 and is used to inject molten zinc-aluminum alloy into the mold 4. The chain conveyor mechanism 3 is mounted on the base 1 and is used to drive multiple molds 4 to move cyclically for continuous production. Multiple molds 4 are mounted on the chain conveyor mechanism 3 to receive the molten zinc-aluminum alloy injected by the casting mechanism 2 and to solidify during movement. Multiple support legs 5 are fixedly mounted on the base 1 to support the large water tank 6. The large water tank 6 is fixedly mounted on top of the multiple support legs 5 to receive cooling water overflowing from the small water tank 7, preventing water from spilling and contaminating the equipment. The small water tank 7 is fixedly mounted inside the large water tank 6 and pre-filled with cooling water. Multiple vertical pipes 8 are fixedly connected to the large water tank 6 and the small water tank 7 respectively, and pass through the bottom of the large water tank 6 and the small water tank 7 sequentially, for supplying high-pressure cooling water to the nozzle 9. Each vertical pipe 8 is connected to a nozzle 9 at its top, which sprays water upwards, causing the water in the small water tank 7 to surge and form a surging water surface higher than the top of the small water tank 7. The unloading conveyor mechanism 10 is mounted on the base 1 and is used to receive the zinc-aluminum alloy ingots after demolding and transport them to the next workstation. With the above configuration, when the chain conveyor mechanism 3 drives multiple molds 4 to move cyclically and pass over the small water tank 7, the nozzles 9 spray water upwards to form a surging water surface. The water surface directly contacts the bottom of the mold 4, forcibly cooling the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid inside the mold 4, greatly improving the cooling efficiency, and allowing the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid to fully solidify and form within a shorter conveying path. As a result, the overall length of the chain conveyor mechanism 3 is shortened, thereby solving the problems of the existing technology equipment being too long, having low space utilization, and occupying a large factory area, leading to increased site costs.

[0031] Furthermore, the water supply pipe 11 is connected to the bottom end of the plurality of vertical pipes 8 and is located below the large water tank 6; the drainage pipe 12 is connected to the large water tank 6 and is located on one side of the large water tank 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, the water supply pipe 11 introduces high-pressure cooling water from the outside, which is then delivered to the nozzle 9 via the vertical pipe 8 and sprayed upwards. This causes the water in the small water tank 7 to continuously surge and form a surging water surface, which forces water cooling onto the mold 4. During the cooling process, the surging water surface continuously overflows into the large water tank 6, and the heated cooling water is discharged through the drain pipe 12, achieving continuous circulation and renewal of the cooling water, maintaining a stable cooling water temperature, and thus ensuring efficient cooling of the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid inside the mold 4.

[0033] Furthermore, the conveyor belt 1001 is fixedly disposed on the top of the base 1; the elastic support 1003 is disposed on the top of the base 1; the lower end of the receiving inclined plate 1002 is rotatably connected to the conveyor belt 1001, and the middle part of the receiving inclined plate 1002 is supported by the elastic support 1003.

[0034] In this embodiment, the mold 4 gradually rotates at the end of the chain conveyor mechanism 3, with its opening gradually tilting downwards. The purpose of setting the receiving ramp 1002 is to ensure that, regardless of the angle at which the zinc-aluminum alloy ingot falls from the mold 4 as it rotates, it will preferentially fall onto the receiving ramp 1002, rather than falling directly onto the conveyor belt 1001 from a height. The receiving ramp 1002 maintains a close distance to the mold 4 in any rotating posture, thereby ensuring that the falling zinc-aluminum alloy ingot can be reliably caught. When the zinc-aluminum alloy ingot falls from the mold 4 and hits the receiving ramp 1002, the receiving ramp 1002 transmits the impact force to the elastic support 1003. The elastic support 1003 undergoes elastic deformation to absorb the impact energy, preventing the zinc-aluminum alloy ingot from deforming or being damaged due to a hard impact. Subsequently, the zinc-aluminum alloy ingot slides down the receiving inclined plate 1002 under the action of gravity, smoothly transitions to the conveyor belt 1001 at the lower end, and is then transported to the next station by the conveyor belt 1001.

[0035] When the mold 4 is completely rotated with the chain conveyor mechanism 3 so that the opening faces downward, the zinc-aluminum alloy ingot falls downward under the action of gravity. At this time, it can fall directly onto the conveyor belt 1001. Since the mold 4 is close to the conveyor belt 1001 at this time, it will not generate too much impact.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting box 100301 is fixedly disposed on the top of the base 1; the slider 100302 is slidably disposed inside the mounting box 100301; one end of each of the two dampers 100303 is fixedly connected to the slider 100302, and the other end of each of the two dampers 100303 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 100301; two springs 100304 are respectively sleeved on the two dampers 100303; one end of each of the two support rods 100305 is rotatably connected to the slider 100302, and the other end of each of the two support rods 100305 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the receiving inclined plate 1002.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting box 100301 is fixedly disposed on the top of the base 1, providing an installation foundation and motion constraint space for the elastic support 1003. The slider 100302 is slidably disposed within the mounting box 100301, reciprocating along the inner wall of the mounting box 100301 when subjected to force. One end of each of the two dampers 100303 is fixedly connected to the slider 100302, and the other end of each damper 100303 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting box 100301, providing damping force and consuming impact energy when the slider 100302 slides. Two springs 100304 are respectively sleeved on the two dampers 100303, providing elastic buffering when the slider 100302 slides under force, and pushing the slider 100302 back to its original position after the impact force is eliminated. One end of each of the two support rods 100305 is rotatably connected to the slider 100302, and the other end of each support rod 100305 is rotatably connected to the middle of the receiving inclined plate 1002, for transmitting the impact force received by the receiving inclined plate 1002 to the slider 100302. With this configuration, when the zinc-aluminum alloy ingot falls from the mold 4 and impacts the receiving inclined plate 1002, the receiving inclined plate 1002 moves downward and pushes the slider 100302 to slide within the mounting box 100301 via the two support rods 100305. The two springs 100304 are compressed to absorb impact energy, providing elastic cushioning, while the two dampers 100303 dissipate vibration energy, preventing the receiving inclined plate 1002 from repeatedly rebounding. Thus, the impact of the falling zinc-aluminum alloy ingot is effectively buffered, preventing deformation or damage due to rigid collisions.

[0038] Furthermore, the constraint axis 100306 is fixedly disposed inside the mounting box 100301 and slidably connected to the slider 100302, and passes through the slider 100302.

[0039] In this embodiment, the constraint axis 100306 is used to guide the sliding direction of the slider 100302, restrict the slider 100302 from deflecting or wobbling during the sliding process, and ensure that the slider 100302 moves smoothly along the preset direction.

[0040] Furthermore, the striking mechanism 13 is disposed on the base 1 and is used to strike the bottom of the mold 4, so that the stuck zinc-aluminum alloy ingot falls onto the conveyor belt 1001.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the mold 4 moves to the end with the chain conveyor mechanism 3 and begins to flip, there are three demolding scenarios: some zinc-aluminum alloy ingots can be automatically ejected when the opening of the mold 4 is flipped to a certain angle and fall onto the receiving inclined plate 1002; another part can only be ejected and fall directly onto the conveyor belt 1001 when the mold 4 is completely flipped so that the opening faces downward; and some zinc-aluminum alloy ingots are stuck too tightly and cannot be demolded by themselves even when the mold 4 is completely flipped so that the opening faces downward. In this case, the striking mechanism 13 strikes the mold 4 to force the zinc-aluminum alloy ingots to loosen and fall onto the conveyor belt 1001.

[0042] Furthermore, the two support plates 1301 are fixedly mounted on the base 1; the mounting shaft 1302 is fixedly mounted between the two support plates 1301; the rotating rod 1303 is rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft 1302 and is penetrated by the mounting shaft 1302; the striking block 1304 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod 1303; the driving member 1305 is mounted on the support plate 1301 near the drainage pipe 12, and is used to periodically press down the end of the rotating rod 1303 away from the striking block 1304.

[0043] In this embodiment, the driving member 1305 periodically presses down on the end of the rotating rod 1303 away from the striking block 1304, causing the rotating rod 1303 to swing around the mounting shaft 1302, thereby lifting the striking block 1304 upwards. When the driving member 1305 releases the pressure on the rotating rod 1303, the striking block 1304 falls rapidly under the action of gravity, striking the bottom of the mold 4. Under the action of the striking vibration, the stuck zinc-aluminum alloy ingot loosens and separates from the mold 4, falling onto the conveyor belt 1001.

[0044] Furthermore, the limiting shaft 1306 is fixedly disposed between the two support plates 1301 to limit the rotation rod 1303 and prevent the striking block 1304 from moving excessively downward.

[0045] In this embodiment, the limiting shaft 1306 is used to limit the rotating rod 1303 so that when the striking block 1304 moves down to the lowest point, its bottom end just contacts the bottom of the mold 4, thus preventing the striking block 1304 from moving down too far and getting stuck in the gap between two adjacent molds 4.

[0046] Furthermore, the support plate 130501 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 1301 near the drainage pipe 12; the motor 130502 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 130501; the turntable 130503 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 130502; and two protrusions 130504 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the turntable 130503.

[0047] In this embodiment, the support plate 130501 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 1301 near the drain pipe 12, and is used to support the motor 130502. The motor 130502 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 130501, and is used to drive the turntable 130503 to rotate. The turntable 130503 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 130502, and is used to drive the two protrusions 130504 to perform circumferential motion. The two protrusions 130504 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the turntable 130503, and are used to alternately press down the end of the rotating rod 1303 away from the striking block 1304 as the turntable 130503 rotates.

[0048] This embodiment describes a zinc-aluminum alloy ingot forming device. When the chain conveyor mechanism 3 drives multiple molds 4 to move cyclically and pass above the small water tank 7, the nozzle 9 sprays water upwards to form a surging water surface. The water surface directly contacts the bottom of the molds 4, forcibly cooling the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid inside the molds 4, significantly improving cooling efficiency and allowing the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid to fully solidify and form within a shorter conveying path. As a result, the overall length of the chain conveyor mechanism 3 is shortened, thus solving the problems of existing equipment being too long, having low space utilization, and occupying a large factory area, leading to increased site costs.

[0049] The second embodiment of this application is as follows: Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 ,in, Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] The present invention provides a method for forming ingots for processing zinc-aluminum alloys, comprising the following steps: S1: Cooling water is injected into the small water tank 7 and sprayed upward through multiple vertical pipes 8 and nozzles 9, causing the water in the small water tank 7 to surge and form a surging water surface higher than the top of the small water tank 7. S2: The zinc-aluminum alloy liquid is injected into the mold 4 through the casting mechanism 2, and the chain conveyor mechanism 3 drives multiple molds 4 to move in a cycle; when the mold 4 passes above the small water pool 7, the surging water surface contacts the bottom of the mold 4, takes away the heat, and cools and solidifies the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid in the mold 4 into zinc-aluminum alloy ingots. S3: The mold 4 continues to move to the end of the chain conveyor 3 and flips over. The zinc-aluminum alloy ingot formed inside falls off under the action of gravity and is received and transported away by the unloading conveyor 10. S4: After the material is unloaded, the mold 4 continues to move in a cycle with the chain conveyor mechanism 3, returns to the bottom of the casting mechanism 2, and receives the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid again to enter the next cycle.

10. A method for forming ingots for zinc-aluminum alloy processing, applied to the ingot forming apparatus for zinc-aluminum alloy processing as described in any one of claims 1 to 9; characterized in that, The steps include the following: Cooling water is injected into the small pool and sprayed upwards through multiple vertical pipes and nozzles, causing the water in the small pool to surge and form a surging water surface higher than the top of the small pool. The zinc-aluminum alloy liquid is injected into the mold through the casting mechanism, and the chain conveyor mechanism drives multiple molds to move in a cycle. When the mold passes over the small water pool, the surging water surface contacts the bottom of the mold, takes away the heat, and cools and solidifies the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid in the mold into zinc-aluminum alloy ingots. The mold continues to move to the end of the chain conveyor and flips over. The zinc-aluminum alloy ingot formed inside falls off under the action of gravity and is received and transported away by the unloading conveyor. After the material is unloaded, the mold continues to move in a cycle along the chain conveyor mechanism, returning to the bottom of the casting mechanism to receive the zinc-aluminum alloy liquid again and enter the next cycle.
