[0030] Among them Figure 1As shown, the traverse assembly includes a drive motor 4, a screw rod 3 and a connecting block 10. The drive motor 4 is installed on the side of the processing table 1. The screw rod 3 is arranged directly above the processing table 1 and fixed to the output end of the drive motor 4. The connecting block 10 is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the screw rod 3 and can move in the linear opposite direction of the screw rod 3. The connecting block 10 contacts the outer wall of the side mold 8. Specifically, the drive motor 4 can drive the screw rod 3 to rotate, and then the connecting block 10 can drive the side mold 8 to move in the linear direction of the screw rod 3, so that the side mold 8 can be quickly spliced ​​for subsequent filling of aluminum liquid. The upper end surface of the processing table 1 is symmetrically installed with slide rails 5. The two slide rails 5 are in parallel, and the upper end surface of the slide rail 5 is slidably connected with a slider 6. The upper end surface of the slider 6 is installed with a fixed plate 7, and the cross-section of the fixed plate 7 is an "L"-shaped structure. The fixed plate 7 contacts the outer wall of the side mold 8. Specifically, when the side molds 8 are close to each other, the fixed plate 7 connects the side mold 8 with the slider 6. The side mold 8 slides left and right along the linear direction of the slide rail 5 with the slider 6, so that when the side mold 8 is displaced, the structure is more stable. Engaging grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the side mold 8, and the left and right side molds 8 can be meshed and connected. Specifically, the engagement grooves 9 can ensure that the two side molds 8 are more tightly spliced ​​to prevent leakage.

Engaging grooves 9 are provided on both sides of the side mold 8. The engagement grooves 9 can ensure that the two side molds 8 are more tightly spliced ​​to prevent leakage. When the side molds 8 are close to each other, the fixed plate 7 connects the side mold 8 with the slider 6. The side mold 8 slides left and right along the linear direction of the slide rail 5 with the slider 6, so that when the side mold 8 is displaced, the structure is more stable. A gantry 15 is installed on the side of the processing table 1 for installing the lifting assembly.
