Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of aluminum ingot production, in particular to an aluminum ingot cooling device applied to an aluminum ingot production line. Background Art

[0002] A large amount of aluminum ingot raw materials are required in the aluminum alloy production process. In the prior art, the casting process of aluminum ingots generally uses a high temperature to heat the furnace to a molten state, and then pours the molten aluminum into a mold. After cooling into a cast billet and taking it out, the temperature of the aluminum billet is relatively high at this time, so it needs to be cooled. In the prior art, the aluminum ingot is usually cooled by immersing it in a cooling pool.

[0003] In the prior art, workers place high-temperature aluminum ingots in a cooling pool using handheld clamps. In order to prevent the cooling water in the cooling pool from boiling instantly and causing scalding to the workers, they usually need to put them in slowly. After they are cooled, the workers take them out of the cooling pool one by one using clamps. This process easily increases the workload of the workers, the operation process is very cumbersome, and the degree of automation is low.

[0004] In summary, the above structure is very likely to increase the workload of the staff during the cooling process, the operation process is very complicated, excessively wastes manpower and material resources, and the degree of automation is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an aluminum ingot cooling device applied to an aluminum ingot production line to solve the technical problems that the workload of the staff is easily increased during the cooling process, the operation process is very cumbersome, excessively wastes manpower and material resources, and the degree of automation is low.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an aluminum ingot cooling device applied to an aluminum ingot production line, comprising a workbench and a frame, a driving assembly is provided on one side of the workbench, the output end of the driving assembly passes through the workbench and is connected to a second bidirectional threaded rod, a placement plate that slides up and down in the frame and cooperates with the second bidirectional threaded rod, a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the frame, and a tooth block is provided in the sliding groove, a gear that meshes with the tooth block is rotatably provided on one side of the placement plate, and one end of the gear passes through the placement plate and is connected to the first bidirectional threaded rod, and a clamping plate that cooperates with the first bidirectional threaded rod is provided on the top of the placement plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the placement plate will move downward slowly due to the action of the support rod, thereby preventing the staff from being scalded. At the same time, during the downward sliding process of the placement plate, the clamping plate will be driven to tighten the aluminum ingot, ensuring that the aluminum ingot will not slip from the through hole of the placement plate during the sliding process, making it easier for subsequent staff to take it out and reducing the workload of the staff.

[0008] The utility model is further configured that the driving component is a stepping motor, and the stepping motor is used to drive the second bidirectional threaded rod at the output end to rotate.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the second bidirectional threaded rod is driven to rotate forward and reversely under the action of the stepping motor, thereby achieving the up and down sliding of the placement plate.

[0010] The utility model is further configured such that a threaded sleeve is symmetrically and slidably provided on the outer wall of the second bidirectional threaded rod, a support rod is hinged on the top of the threaded sleeve, and the other end of the support rod is hinged to the placement plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the stepper motor drives the second bidirectional threaded rod to rotate, the threaded sleeve on its outer wall will slide inward, and at this time, with the cooperation of the support rod, the placement plate will be propped up as a whole, so that the aluminum ingot to be cooled can be placed on the top of the placement plate. Then the stepper motor will reverse, and the threaded sleeve will reset and slide outward, and with the cooperation of the support rod, the placement plate will slowly slide into the cooling water in the frame, thereby completing the cooling of the aluminum ingot.

[0012] The utility model is further configured that an array of card slots is arranged on the inner side of the clamping plate, a return spring is connected in the card slot, and the other end of the return spring is connected to the clamping block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamping plate slides inward to clamp the aluminum ingot, the clamping block will first contact the outer wall of the aluminum ingot. When continuing to slide, the clamping block will squeeze the reset spring on one side, so that the reset spring is in a compressed state, which is convenient for further limiting clamping of the aluminum ingot. At the same time, the clamping mechanism facilitates the clamping of aluminum ingots of different sizes, further improving the overall practicality of the device.

[0014] The utility model is further configured that the placement plate is provided with an array of through holes.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the contact area between the aluminum ingot on the placement plate and the cooling water is increased through the through holes of the placement plate, thereby further improving the overall cooling effect.

[0016] The utility model is further configured that the top of the placement plate is configured to be rough.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the rough setting is convenient for increasing the sliding friction between the aluminum ingot and the placement plate, thereby preventing the aluminum ingot from shaking during the sliding process of the placement plate.

[0018] The utility model is further configured that a limiting mechanism is arranged on the workbench at the bottom of the threaded sleeve.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting mechanism can prevent the threaded sleeve from rotating on the second bidirectional threaded rod, thereby further improving the sliding stability of the threaded sleeve itself.

[0020] The utility model is further configured such that the frame and the workbench are sealed.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, leakage of cooling water between the two can be effectively prevented, further improving the cooling efficiency.

[0022] In summary, the utility model mainly has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The utility model provides a frame on the top of the workbench, at which time coolant can be placed in the frame, and a placing plate is slidably arranged inside the frame, and in order to increase the contact surface between the aluminum ingot and the internal coolant, the placing plate itself is provided with an array of through holes, which further accelerates the cooling efficiency of the aluminum ingot, and at the same time, the placing plate is slowly moved downward by the action of the support rod to prevent the staff from being scalded, and at the same time, the clamping plate is driven to tighten the aluminum ingot during the downward sliding process of the placing plate, ensuring that the aluminum ingot will not slide off the through holes of the placing plate during the sliding process, making it convenient for subsequent staff to take it out, thereby reducing the workload of the staff.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] The following describes an embodiment of the utility model based on its overall structure.

[0034] An aluminum ingot cooling device used in an aluminum ingot production line, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a workbench 1, a frame 3, a transmission mechanism, a cooling mechanism and a supporting mechanism, wherein the frame 3 and the workbench 1 are sealed, and cooling water is introduced into the frame 3 to effectively prevent the cooling water from leaking between the two, thereby further improving the cooling efficiency. At the same time, the stepper motor 2 on one side of the workbench 1 is started, and the second bidirectional threaded rod 10 is driven to rotate under the action of the stepper motor 2. Since a threaded sleeve 9 is symmetrically slidably arranged on the outer wall of the second bidirectional threaded rod 10, a support rod 11 is hinged on the top of the threaded sleeve 9, and is located at the support The other end of the rod 11 is hinged to the placement plate 5. When the stepper motor 2 drives the second bidirectional threaded rod 10 to rotate, the threaded sleeve 9 on its outer wall will slide inward, and at this time, the placement plate 5 will be propped up as a whole in cooperation with the support rod 11, so that the aluminum ingot to be cooled can be placed on the top of the placement plate 5. Then the stepper motor 2 will reverse, and the threaded sleeve 9 will slide outward to reset, and in cooperation with the support rod 11, the placement plate 5 will slowly slide into the cooling water in the frame 3 to prevent the staff from being scalded, thereby completing the cooling of the aluminum ingot.

[0035] In addition, a slide groove 7 is provided on the inner wall of the frame 3, and a tooth block 12 is provided in the slide groove 7. A gear 8 meshing with the tooth block 12 is rotatably provided on one side of the placement plate 5, and one end of the gear 8 passes through the placement plate 5 and is connected to a first two-way threaded rod 4. A clamping plate 6 cooperating with the first two-way threaded rod 4 is provided on the top of the placement plate 5. During the downward sliding of the placement plate 5, the first two-way threaded rod 4 rotates, thereby driving the clamping plate 6 to tighten the aluminum ingot to ensure that the aluminum ingot will not slip from the through hole of the placement plate 5 during the downward sliding process, which is convenient for subsequent staff to take it out and reduce the workload of the staff. After the cooling is completed, the placement plate 5 will slide upward and drive the gear 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. At this time, the clamping plate 6 releases the limit on the aluminum ingot, which is convenient for the staff to directly take out the aluminum ingot and reduce the workload of the staff.

[0036] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An array of through holes is provided on the placement plate 5. The through holes of the placement plate 5 can increase the contact area between the aluminum ingot on the placement plate 5 and the cooling water, thereby further improving the overall cooling effect. The top of the placement plate 5 is provided with a rough surface, which can increase the sliding friction between the aluminum ingot and the placement plate 5, thereby preventing the aluminum ingot from shaking during the sliding of the placement plate 5.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] like Figure 6 The aluminum ingot cooling device shown is applied to an aluminum ingot production line, and its overall structure is similar to that of Example 1, wherein an array of card slots 13 are provided on the inner side of a clamping plate 6, and a reset spring 14 is connected in the card slot 13, and the other end of the reset spring 14 is connected to a clamping block 15. When the clamping plate 6 slides inward to clamp the aluminum ingot, the clamping block 15 will first contact the outer wall of the aluminum ingot. At this time, when the sliding continues, the clamping block 15 will squeeze the reset spring 14 on one side, so that the reset spring 14 is in a compressed state, which is convenient for further limiting clamping of the aluminum ingot. At the same time, the clamping mechanism facilitates the clamping of aluminum ingots of different sizes, further improving the overall practicality of the device.

[0039] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when in use, the staff pours the coolant into the frame 3, and then places the aluminum ingot to be cooled on the top of the placement plate 5, and then starts the stepper motor 2 on one side of the workbench 1, and drives the placement plate 5 to slide slowly downward in cooperation with the support rod 11 to prevent the cooling water from boiling and splashing instantly and causing scalding to the staff. At the same time, an array of through holes is provided on the placement plate 5. The setting of the through holes is convenient for increasing the contact area between the cooling water and the aluminum ingot, and further improving the overall cooling efficiency. At the same time, in the process of the placement plate 5 sliding down, the tooth block 12 will drive the gear 8 on one side of the placement plate 5 to rotate. At this time, the clamping plate 6 on the top of the placement plate 5 will limit and clamp the aluminum ingot to ensure that the aluminum ingot will not leak through the through holes on the placement plate 5 during the cooling process.

[0040] Although an embodiment of the utility model has been shown and described, this specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the utility model and is not a limitation of the utility model. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations to the embodiments without creative contributions as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the utility model. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the utility model, they are protected by patent law.
