[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The casting machine 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes a movable chute 10 , two tundishes 20 , a casting ladle 30 and two sets of disc devices 40 . The movable chute 10 includes a first inflow section 11 and two first branch sections 12 connected to the first inflow section 11, the first inflow section 11 is used to receive the casting liquid flowing out of the furnace, and the two first branch sections 12 extend toward the opposite first side 101 and the second side 102 respectively; the tundish 20 is respectively distributed on the first side 101 and the second side 102, each tundish 20 includes a second inflow section 21 and two second branch sections 22 connected to the second inflow section 21, and the two second inflow sections 21 are respectively arranged below the ports of the two first branch sections 12; the casting ladle 30 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second branch sections 22, one end of the casting ladle 30 is arranged below the end of the second branch section 22, and the tundish 20 allows the casting liquid to flow from the second branch section 22 into the casting ladle 30 when rotating; two groups of disc devices 40 are respectively arranged on the first side 101 and the second side 102 and are located below the casting ladle 30, and the disc device 40 is used to receive the casting liquid flowing out of the casting ladle 30 and form a casting.

[0030] In the casting machine 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the first diversion section 12 and the second diversion section 22 of the movable chute 10 divert the molten casting liquid to the two tundishes 20 on the first side 101 and the second side 102, and the tundish 20 then pours the casting liquid into the two casting ladles 30 on the first side 101 and the two casting ladles 30 on the second side 102 respectively. The two casting ladles 30 on the same side can cast and form two castings at the same time, thereby improving the casting efficiency of the casting machine 100, improving the casting capacity, and further saving the manufacturing cost and installation space of the casting equipment.

[0031] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the direction of gravity is used as the vertical downward direction, and the first side 101 and the second side 102 are the left and right sides of the movable chute 10 in the horizontal direction, and include a partial area below the left / right side of the movable chute 10.

[0032] Specifically, the upper parts of the movable chute 10, the tundish 20 and the casting ladle 30 are all formed with open openings to receive the poured casting liquid. The casting liquid is a liquid metal molten at high temperature in a smelting furnace, and its composition can be one of a variety of metals such as copper, gold, silver, iron, etc. The present application does not limit the type of the casting liquid. Exemplarily, the casting liquid can be high-purity copper water, and the casting formed by the casting machine 100 can be a copper anode plate, which is used in various industrial fields such as battery positive electrode materials, electroplating, electric welding, anti-corrosion, metal electrolytic refining, dust removal, etc.

[0033] like Figure 4As shown, the movable chute 10 is Y-shaped when viewed from above, and the first side 101 and the second side 102 are respectively located on both sides of the first inflow section 11, and the two first diversion sections 12 are connected to the end of the first inflow section 11 and extend toward the first side 101 and the second side 102 to form a fork. The first inflow section 11 and the first diversion section 12 can be integrally formed to ensure that the casting liquid flows continuously in the movable chute 10 and is not prone to leakage. The first inflow section 11 and the first diversion section 12 can both extend in a straight path to reduce the flow resistance and flow time of the casting liquid. The movable chute 10 uses the height difference between the first inflow section 11 and the first diversion section 12 to control the casting liquid to flow from the first inflow section 11 to the first diversion section 12, and then flow out of the movable chute 10 from the end of the first diversion section 12.

[0034] In one example, the movable chute 10 can be arranged to be inclined, the height of the first inflow section 11 is slightly higher than the first diversion section 12, and the first inflow section 11 and the first diversion section 12 both form a certain slope.

[0035] In another example, the first inflow section 11 in the movable chute 10 may also be flush with the first diversion section 12, and the first diversion section 12 forms a certain slope. When the movable chute 10 rotates, the first diversion section 12 decreases in height as the movable chute 10 rotates, forming a height difference with the first inflow section 11.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, one end of the second inflow section 21 is arranged below the end of the first diverter section 12 along the flow direction of the casting liquid, and two second diverter sections 22 are connected to one end of the second inflow section 21 away from the first diverter section 12, and extend toward both sides of the second inflow section 21 to form a fork. The second inflow section 21 and the second diverter section 22 can be integrally formed. The height of the second inflow section 21 is lower than the ends of the two first diverter sections 12, and the tundish 20 can be inclined, and the height of the second inflow section 21 is slightly higher than the second diverter section 22, and the second inflow section 21 and the second diverter section 22 both form a certain slope.

[0037] The casting ladle 30 may be in the shape of a long dustpan, and the bottom surface of the casting ladle 30 may have a certain curvature. The casting ladle 30 includes an inlet end 31 and an outlet end 32. The inlet end 31 is the head end of the casting ladle 30, which is located below the second branch section 22. The casting liquid is poured from the tundish 20 into the casting ladle 30 and first falls into the inlet end 31 of the casting ladle 30. The outlet end 32 is the end of the casting ladle 30, which is located above the disc device 40, and the casting liquid flows out of the casting ladle 30 from the outlet end 32.

[0038] The bottom surfaces of the first inflow section 11 and the second inflow section 21 may be arc surfaces to reduce liquid splashing when the casting liquid falls in, and to increase the capacity of the first inflow section 11 and the second inflow section 21. The bottom surfaces of the first diversion section 12 and the second diversion section 22 may be straight surfaces to allow the casting liquid to flow evenly and smoothly.

[0039] The movable chute 10, the tundish 20, and the casting ladle 30 can all be made of high temperature resistant materials, for example, at least one of metal, concrete, high temperature resistant ceramics, etc. is used to make the movable chute 10, the tundish 20, and the casting ladle 30. For another example, the movable chute 10, the tundish 20, and the casting ladle 30 are made of metal materials as the outer shell and refractory materials as the inner lining. The inner lining is the inner part of the movable chute 10, the tundish 20, and the casting ladle 30 that contacts the casting liquid.

[0040] The casting machine 100 further includes a first bracket 13, a second bracket 23 and a third bracket 33. The height of the first bracket 13 is higher than the second bracket 23 and the third bracket 33, and the height of the second bracket 23 is higher than the third bracket 33. The movable chute 10 is mounted on the first bracket 13, the tundish 20 is mounted on the second bracket 23, and the casting ladle 30 is mounted on the third bracket 33.

[0041] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the movable chute 10 is rotatably arranged with the first inflow section 11 as the center, and when the movable chute 10 is configured to rotate, the casting liquid flows from the first branch section 12 into the second inflow section 21 on the same side.

[0042] In this way, the movable chute 10 is rotatably arranged with the first inflow section 11 as the center, and the casting liquid flow rates of the first branch section 12 and the second branch section 22 are adjusted by controlling the rotation of the movable chute 10. The structure is relatively simple, stable and highly reliable.

[0043] Specifically, the movable chute 10 can be rotatably connected to the first bracket 13 by at least one of a rotating shaft connection, a screw connection, a gear connection, a sleeve connection, etc. Exemplarily, the movable chute 10 is installed on the first bracket 13 by a rotating shaft, and when the movable chute 10 rotates toward the first side 101, the first diversion section 12 of the second side 102 is higher than the first diversion section 12 of the first side 101, and the casting liquid flows from the first inflow section 11 into the first diversion section 12 of the first side 101, and then is diverted to the tundish 20 of the first side 101. Similarly, when the movable chute 10 rotates toward the second side 102, the casting liquid flows into the first diversion section 12 of the second side 102 and the tundish 20.

[0044] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the casting machine 100 includes a first driving assembly 14 connected to the movable chute 10, and the first driving assembly 14 is used to drive the movable chute 10 to rotate.

[0045] In this way, the movable chute 10 is driven to rotate by the first driving assembly 14 to adjust the flow rate of the casting liquid flowing into the first side 101 and the second side 102 .

[0046] Specifically, the first drive assembly 14 can provide driving force through a motor, a hydraulic press, etc. Exemplarily, the first drive assembly 14 includes a servo motor and a first rotating shaft connected to the servo motor, and the first rotating shaft is installed on the first bracket 13 and fixedly connected to the movable chute 10. The first rotating shaft can be arranged below the first inflow section 11 and extend in the same direction as the first inflow section 11. The first drive assembly 14 drives the movable chute 10 to tilt toward the first side 101 or the second side 102 through the servo motor so that the casting liquid flows into the tundish 20. The movable chute 10 rotates a certain angle toward the first side 101 or the second side 102 to control the flow rate of the casting liquid to the first diversion section 12 of the first side 101 and the second side 102.

[0047] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the two first diversion sections 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first inflow section 11 .

[0048] In this way, by symmetrically arranging the first diversion section 12 on both sides of the first inflow section 11, the tundish 20 on the first side 101 and the second side 102 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable chute 10, which is beneficial for evenly distributing the casting liquid to the first side 101 and the second side 102 for casting.

[0049] Specifically, the movable chute 10 is arranged in the middle of the tundish 20 on the two first sides 101 and the second side 102, the first inflow section 11 extends along a straight path, and the first diversion sections 12 are symmetrically distributed on the first side 101 and the second side 102 with the straight path extending from the first inflow section 11 as the axis of symmetry, and the two first diversion sections 12 are the same in shape, size, dimension and angle formed with the first inflow section 11.

[0050] The tundishes 20 on the first side 101 and the second side 102 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable chute 10. The two tundishes 20 may have the same shape, size, dimensions, and distance and relative position to the second diversion section 22. The first driving assembly 14 controls the movable chute 10 to rotate at substantially the same angle toward the first side 101 and the second side 102, and evenly distributes the casting liquid to the tundishes 20 on the first side 101 and the second side 102.

[0051] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, a second branch section 22 connected to the same second inflow section 21 extends toward both sides of the second inflow section 21, and the tundish 20 is rotatably arranged around the second inflow section 21. The tundish 20 is configured to pour the casting liquid from the second branch section 22 into the casting ladle 30 corresponding to the second branch section 22 when rotating.

[0052] In this way, the casting liquid is poured into the casting ladle 30 when the tundish 20 rotates, and the structure is relatively simple and stable with high reliability.

[0053] Specifically, the second inflow section 21 can extend in a straight path, and the extension direction of the second inflow section 21 can be the same as that of the first diversion section 12 on the same side, so as to reduce the flow resistance of the casting liquid. The casting ladle 30 is correspondingly arranged at the lower side of each second inflow section 21, and the inlet end 31 of the casting ladle 30 is directly opposite to the port of the second inflow end. The tundish 20 rotates toward both sides of the second inflow section 21 with the second inflow section 21 as the axis, and successively pours part of the casting liquid into the casting ladles 30 on both sides.

[0054] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the casting machine 100 includes a second driving assembly 24 and a first weighing mechanism 25 connected to the tundish 20 , the second driving assembly 24 is used to drive the tundish 20 to rotate, and the first weighing mechanism 25 is used to weigh the weight of the tundish 20 .

[0055] In this way, the second driving assembly 24 drives the tundish 20 to rotate, and the first weighing mechanism 25 and the tundish 20 are used to weigh the weight of the tundish 20, so as to ensure that the flow rate of the casting liquid in the tundish 20 is maintained in a reasonable range, stably receive the casting liquid flowing out of the movable chute 10 and allow the casting liquid to flow smoothly to the corresponding casting ladle 30.

[0056] Specifically, each tundish 20 is connected to a set of second drive components 24 and a first weighing mechanism 25, and each second drive component 24 drives the tundish 20 connected thereto to tilt and reasonably distribute the casting liquid to the casting ladle 30 on the same side. The first weighing mechanism 25 is arranged below the tundish 20 and weighs the weight of the corresponding tundish 20 individually. The first weighing mechanism 25 can be connected to the second drive component 24 by signal and transmit the weight data of the tundish 20 to the second drive component 24. When the weight of the tundish 20 is abnormally large or abnormally light, the second drive component 24 can adjust the tilting angle of the tundish 20 and keep the weight of the tundish 20 within a reasonable range, thereby ensuring the stability of the flow rate and flow velocity of the casting liquid in the tundish 20, which is conducive to improving the casting quality. In one example, the first weighing mechanism 25 weighs the increased weight of the tundish 20, that is, the weight of the casting liquid contained in the tundish 20.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first weighing mechanism 25 is also connected to the first driving assembly 14 and the third driving assembly 34 by signals. When the first driving assembly 14 drives the movable chute 10 to rotate and pour the casting liquid into the tundish 20, the rotation angle of the movable chute 10 can be adjusted according to the weight data of the tundish 20, and the flow rate of the casting liquid flowing from the second diversion section 22 to the casting ladle 30 can be reasonably distributed. Similarly, when the third driving assembly 34 pours the casting liquid into the tundish 20, the rotation angle of the casting ladle 30 can be adjusted according to the weight data of the tundish 20, so as to ensure that the flow rate of the casting liquid and the casting speed remain stable.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first weighing mechanism 25 is connected to the control system signal of the furnace.

[0059] In this way, the first weighing mechanism 25 is connected to the control system signal of the furnace, so that the casting speed can be automatically adjusted according to the weight of the tundish 20 .

[0060] Specifically, the control system of the furnace controls parameters such as the furnace temperature, rotation speed, and flow rate of the casting liquid. The first weighing mechanism 25 can be set with different preset weights. When the weight measured in real time by the first weighing mechanism 25 differs greatly from the preset weight, there may be a risk of too low flow rate or overflow of the casting liquid. The furnace adjusts the flow rate of the casting liquid according to the weight data of the tundish 20 transmitted by the first weighing mechanism 25, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the casting process.

[0061] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second diversion section 22 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second inflow section 21 .

[0062] In this way, the symmetrical arrangement of the second flow diversion section 22 helps the tundish 20 to evenly distribute the casting liquid flowing from the second flow diversion section 22 into the casting ladle 30, thereby ensuring that the weight of the produced castings is consistent.

[0063] Specifically, the tundish 20 is Y-shaped, and the two second diversion sections 22 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the second inflow section 21 with the extension path of the second inflow end as the symmetry axis. In the same tundish 20, the second diversion sections 22 have the same shape, size and angle with the second inflow section 21.

[0064] In one example, two first flow diversion sections 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first inflow section 11. Two tundishes 20 correspond to the two first flow diversion sections 12 one by one and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first inflow section 11, i.e., the first side 101 and the second side 102. The second flow diversion sections 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second inflow section 21, and four casting ladles 30 are symmetrically arranged in groups of two below the ends of the tundishes 20 on the two first sides 101 and the second side 102, i.e., below the second flow diversion section 22. With the extension path of the first inflow section 11 as the axis of symmetry, the tundishes 20, casting ladles 30 and disc devices 40 on the first side 101 and the second side 102 are symmetrically distributed.

[0065] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the casting machine 100 includes a third driving assembly 34 and a second weighing mechanism 35 connected to the casting bag 30 , the third driving assembly 34 is used to drive the casting bag 30 to tilt, and the second weighing mechanism 35 is used to weigh the weight of the casting bag 30 .

[0066] In this way, the weight of the casting ladle 30 is weighed by the second weighing mechanism 35, and the third driving assembly 34 drives the casting ladle 30 to tilt, thereby controlling the casting amount of the casting ladle 30 and the casting liquid flow rate during casting, thereby ensuring the production quality of the casting.

[0067] Specifically, each casting ladle 30 is connected to a set of third drive components 34 and a second weighing mechanism 35, and each third drive component 34 independently drives the casting ladle 30 connected thereto to tilt, so as to reasonably distribute the casting liquid to the casting ladle 30 on the same side. The third drive component 34 includes a servo motor and a third rotating shaft, and the third rotating shaft can be arranged at the inlet end 31, or between the inlet end 31 and the outlet end 32. The casting ladle 30 is rotatably connected to the third bracket 33 via the third rotating shaft.

[0068] The second weighing mechanism 35 is arranged below the casting ladle 30, and weighs the weight of the corresponding casting ladle 30 separately. The second weighing mechanism 35 can be connected to the third driving assembly 34 by signal, and transmit the weight data of the casting ladle 30 to the third driving assembly 34. The third driving assembly 34 can adjust the tilting angle of the casting ladle 30 according to the weight data of the casting ladle 30, and then adjust the flow rate and weight of the casting liquid. In order to ensure that the weight of each casting is consistent, the weighing accuracy of the second weighing mechanism 35 is relatively high and greater than the weighing accuracy of the first weighing mechanism 25. For example, the preset weight of the casting is 400kg, and the weighing accuracy of the second weighing mechanism 35 is ±2kg.

[0069] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the disc device 40 includes a rotatable disc 41 and a plurality of casting molds 42 disposed on the disc 41. The plurality of casting molds 42 are arranged along the circumference of the disc 41. When the casting molds 42 rotate with the disc 41 to a position directly below the port of the casting ladle 30 away from the second diversion section 22, the casting ladle 30 is used to tilt relative to the casting mold 42 and pour the casting liquid into the casting mold 42.

[0070] In this way, the disk 41 drives the casting mold 42 to rotate, thereby achieving continuous casting with high efficiency.

[0071] Specifically, the disk 41 can rotate around its own center of circle, and a plurality of casting molds 42 are respectively arranged on the disk 41 on the first side 101 and the second side 102, and the plurality of casting molds 42 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the disk 41 at the edge of the disk 41. When the empty casting mold 42 rotates with the disk 41 to below the outlet end 32 of the casting ladle 30 on the same side, the casting ladle 30 pours the casting liquid into the casting mold 42, and the casting liquid is cooled and formed into a casting part in the casting mold 42. The two disks 41 on the first side 101 and the second side 102 can rotate separately, and the casting ladles 30 on the first side 101 and the second side 102 can pour the casting liquid into the casting mold 42 on the same side and control the casting amount.

[0072] After the movable chute 10 pours the casting liquid into the tundish 20 on the first side 101, it turns to the second side 102 and pours the casting liquid into the tundish 20 on the second side 102. The tundish 20 on the first side 101 then pours the casting liquid into the two casting ladles 30 on the same side, and then the casting ladles 30 pour the preset weight of the casting liquid into the casting mold 42. At the same time, the first branch section 12, the tundish 20 and the casting ladles 30 on the second side 102 can also be continuously poured. The pouring of the first side 101 and the second side 102 complement each other, and the two casting ladles 30 on each side can be poured at the same time to form two castings, which greatly improves the casting capacity of the casting machine, can meet large-scale production capacity requirements with a single casting machine 100, thereby saving procurement and maintenance costs, and reducing the space occupied by the casting machine 100. In addition, the casting time is reduced and the operating cost of heat preservation of the high-temperature molten casting liquid in the furnace is reduced.

[0073] In some examples, the casting machine 100 further includes an output device 50 connected to the disc 41 . The output device 50 is used to transport and transfer the castings, and can perform pre-treatment processes such as cooling and grinding on the castings.

[0074] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the end of the movable chute 10 is vertically opposite to the head end of the tundish 20, the end of the tundish 20 is vertically opposite to the head end of the casting ladle 30, and the end of the casting ladle 30 is vertically opposite to the port of the mold 42.

[0075] In this way, the end of the movable chute 10 is vertically opposite to the head end of the tundish 20, the end of the tundish 20 is vertically opposite to the head end of the casting ladle 30, and the end of the casting ladle 30 is vertically opposite to the port of the mold 42, thereby ensuring that the casting liquid flows smoothly step by step with the help of the height difference.

[0076] Specifically, the head end of the second inflow section 21 is located directly below the end of the first diverter section 12, the inlet end 31 is located directly below the end of the second diverter section 22, and the end of the mold 42 away from the center of the disk 41 is located directly below the outlet end 32. When the movable chute 10 is tilted, the height difference between the first diverter section 12 and the second inflow section 21 is reduced, and the end of the first diverter section 12 is close to the head end of the first inflow section 11 but does not contact each other. Similarly, when the tundish 20 is tilted, the end of the second diverter section 22 is close to the inlet end 31 of the casting ladle 30 but does not contact it, and when the casting ladle 30 is tilted, the outlet end 32 is close to the casting mold 42 but does not contact it.

[0077] In one example, the casting ladle 30 pours molten copper into the casting mold 42 to form a copper anode plate, the second weighing mechanism 35 is set to cast a single copper anode plate with a weight of 380 kg, and 26 casting molds 42 are set on each disc 41. Under the condition that the copper water flow rate guarantees the quality of the copper anode plate, the casting capacity of the casting machine 100 of the embodiment of the present application can reach 150 t / h, which significantly improves the casting speed.
