[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum liquid transportation, in particular to a nitrogen protection cover plate for an aluminum liquid flow trough. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum alloy auto parts usually use aluminum molten troughs for aluminum molten transfer during the casting process. Due to the chemical properties of aluminum that is easily oxidized, it is very easy to oxidize when in contact with air, resulting in a large amount of oxides produced during the aluminum molten transfer process, causing burnout and waste, and increasing production costs. At the same time, more oxides increase the workload of subsequent aluminum molten slag removal, which can easily cause the problem of incomplete aluminum molten cleaning and affect the casting quality of the product.

[0003] At present, in the process of aluminum liquid transportation, a cover plate is usually installed above the aluminum liquid flow trough to isolate the aluminum liquid from the air. However, due to the gap between the cover plates, air will inevitably enter the aluminum liquid flow trough through the gap and react with the aluminum liquid. This method only slows down the air convection inside and outside the aluminum liquid flow trough to a certain extent, and cannot achieve the isolation of aluminum liquid from the air, and the application effect is not ideal.

[0004] Based on this, developing a nitrogen protection cover for aluminum liquid flow trough for application in actual production is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a nitrogen protection cover plate for an aluminum liquid flow trough in order to solve the problem that the aluminum liquid is easily oxidized when in contact with air during transportation, resulting in burning waste and increased production costs, while also solving the problem that a large amount of oxides are generated, which increases the workload of slag cleaning and affects the casting quality of the product.

[0007] A nitrogen protection cover plate for an aluminum liquid flow trough comprises a cover body arranged corresponding to the top of the aluminum liquid flow trough, the cover body is connected to a nitrogen pipeline arranged toward the inside of the aluminum liquid flow trough, the nitrogen pipeline is connected to a nitrogen source, and is used to supply nitrogen to the aluminum liquid flow trough.

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a nitrogen protection cover plate for an aluminum liquid flow trough includes a cover body 1 corresponding to the top of the aluminum liquid flow trough, and the cover body 1 is connected to a nitrogen pipeline 2 arranged toward the inside of the aluminum liquid flow trough, and the nitrogen pipeline 2 is connected to a nitrogen source 3 for supplying nitrogen to the aluminum liquid flow trough. When the aluminum liquid is transported, the cover body 1 is covered on the aluminum liquid flow trough to form a barrier to the air circulation inside and outside the aluminum liquid flow trough. At the same time, the nitrogen pipeline 2 is opened, and the nitrogen supplied by the nitrogen source 3 is continuously passed into the aluminum liquid flow trough through the nitrogen pipeline 2, and gradually fills the closed space formed by the aluminum liquid flow trough and the cover body 1, and the air in the aluminum liquid flow trough is emptied, and a nitrogen protective layer is formed on the surface of the aluminum liquid, which avoids the oxidation reaction between oxygen in the air and the aluminum liquid, effectively reduces the generation of oxides such as aluminum slag, improves the burning waste, and suppresses the rise in production costs.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 1-2 As shown, the nitrogen pipeline 2 includes a plurality of branch blowing pipes 21 arranged on the inner side of the cover body 1, and the branch blowing pipes 21 are arranged at intervals corresponding to the length direction of the aluminum liquid flow groove, and the branch blowing pipes 21 are respectively connected to the main pipeline 22, and the main pipeline 22 is connected to the nitrogen source 3. When supplying gas, the nitrogen supplied by the main pipeline 22 is evenly blown into the aluminum liquid flow groove through the branch blowing pipes 21 arranged at intervals, so that the nitrogen can quickly and evenly fill the entire aluminum liquid flow groove, and the stability of the nitrogen supply is guaranteed.

[0025] Preferably, a fire-resistant insulation layer 4 is provided inside the cover 1 to improve the insulation performance of the cover 1, so as to reduce the heat loss of the aluminum liquid flow channel and achieve the purpose of energy saving and environmental protection. The insulation layer can be made of materials such as asbestos or rock wool.

[0026] Preferably, if Figure 3-4As shown, the end of the cover body 1 in the length direction is provided with an overlap structure 5, so that the adjacent cover plates covered on the aluminum liquid flow trough can be connected end to end through the overlap structure 5 to eliminate the open gap between the adjacent cover plates and improve the sealing of the cover plates. Specifically, the overlap structure 5 includes an upper overlap block 51 arranged at one end of the cover body 1 and a lower connection block 52 arranged at the other end of the cover body 1. The upper end surface of the upper overlap block 51 is flush with the upper end surface of the cover body 1, and the lower end surface of the lower connection block 52 is flush with the lower end surface of the cover body 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the overlapping structure 5 is provided with a corresponding heat-insulating cotton strip 53, which further improves the sealing performance of the adjacent cover body 1. The heat-insulating cotton strip 53 is respectively provided on the lower end surface of the upper overlap block 51 and the upper end surface of the lower connection block 52. When the cover is closed, the upper overlap block 51 and the lower connection block 52 of the adjacent cover body 1 are tightly overlapped by the heat-insulating cotton strip 53, which improves the sealing and heat-insulating properties.

[0028] Furthermore, a cover edge 11 is provided on the inner side of the cover body 1 corresponding to the outer wall of the aluminum liquid flow channel, and the cover edge 11 is a plate-shaped structure vertically connected to the end of the cover body 1. When the cover is closed, the cover edge 11 respectively abuts against the outer walls of the aluminum liquid flow channel on both sides, which, on the one hand, plays a role in positioning the cover plate relative to the aluminum liquid flow channel, facilitating the positioning and closing of the cover plate. On the other hand, the cover edge 11 wraps and clamps the outer wall of the aluminum liquid flow channel, further improving the sealing performance of the cover body 1.

[0029] Furthermore, a heat-insulating cotton strip 53 is also provided on the inner side of the cover edge 11 to further improve the sealing performance of the cover body 1.
