[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and beneficial effects of the utility model more clear, the technical solution of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the ingot lifting equipment includes: a base 1, a chain 3 transmission structure, a support plate 4 and a positioning structure; the base 1 is formed with a conveying channel; the chain 3 transmission structure is arranged in the conveying channel along a first direction, for providing the power required for the movement of the ingot; the support plate 4 is slidably arranged in the conveying channel along a second direction for lifting the ingot; the positioning structure is arranged near the end of the chain 3 transmission structure, and the positioning structure includes a connected positioning bracket and a plurality of positioning wheels 5, one end of the positioning bracket is fixed to the base 1, and the other end thereof extends toward the direction of the support plate 4, so that the projection of the positioning wheel 5 on the support plate 4 is located outside the support plate 4; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and the positioning wheel 5 is suspended above the conveying channel.

[0027] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, the aluminum ingot is in the shape of a strip, or its cross section is in the shape of an inverted trapezoidal structure; after the equipment is connected to the demolding process, the demolded aluminum ingots are placed one by one in the conveying channel formed by the base 1; and under the action of the chain 3 transmission structure, the aluminum ingots can be moved in batches, so that they move from the head end of the chain 3 transmission structure to its end.

[0028] In the embodiment of the utility model, a support plate 4 is provided in the conveying channel, and the support plate 4 can slide back and forth relative to the base 1 to lift the passing aluminum ingots; that is: when the support plate 4 is in the standby state, it can be hidden in the conveying channel, so that the aluminum ingots can move one by one on the chain 3 transmission structure; on the contrary, when the support plate 4 is in the working state, the support plate 4 moves upward and lifts the aluminum ingots thereon, so that the support plate 4 protrudes outside the conveying channel, so that the aluminum ingots are separated from the chain 3 transmission structure, so as to be grasped by the mechanical claw.

[0029] In the embodiment of the utility model, a positioning structure is provided between the end of the chain 3 transmission structure and the support plate 4, which is used to limit the aluminum ingots above the support plate 4 and arrange multiple aluminum ingots one by one; specifically, the positioning structure includes a positioning bracket provided on the base 1 and a positioning wheel 5 rotatably provided on the positioning bracket, the positioning bracket having a first end and a second end, the first end of the positioning bracket being fixed to the base 1, and being used to provide the overall support force of the positioning bracket; its second end extends in the direction of the support plate 4, and is used to connect the positioning wheel 5, so that the projection of the positioning wheel 5 on the surface of the support plate 4 is located outside the surface of the support plate 4, on the one hand, multiple aluminum ingots can be arranged above the support plate 4 under the cooperation of the chain 3 transmission structure, and on the other hand, the positioning wheel 5 can be prevented from appearing in the moving direction of the support plate 4, the two do not interfere with each other, and cooperate with each other to complete the lifting of multiple aluminum ingots at one time, thereby improving efficiency. Of course, since the positioning wheel 5 is in contact with the surface of the aluminum ingot, multiple aluminum ingots can be arranged in the standby state of the support plate 4; in its operating state, the surface of the aluminum ingot slides in contact with the surface of the positioning wheel 5, which can limit the aluminum ingots during the lifting process.

[0030] This embodiment uses a positioning structure between the end of the chain 3 transmission structure and the support plate 4, and the positioning wheel 5 of the positioning structure is suspended above the chain 3 transmission structure. When the aluminum ingot is transferred to the positioning wheel 5, the positioning wheel 5 limits it and can evenly arrange multiple aluminum ingots above the support plate 4 during the continuous movement of the chain 3 transmission structure, and finally lift the aluminum ingots upward through the support plate 4 to make them separate from the device. In this process, the positioning wheel 5 can gather multiple aluminum ingots so that the support plate 4 can lift multiple aluminum ingots at one time, reduce the number of operations of the support plate 4, and improve the efficiency of the device, which is convenient for quickly lifting aluminum ingots; at the same time, the positioning wheel 5 can correct the posture of the aluminum ingot and reduce the installation accuracy of the chain 3 transmission structure and the support plate 4.

Specifically, in order to arrange the positioning wheel 5 in the direction of the support plate 4, the main structure of the positioning bracket is formed by a plurality of positioning blocks arranged at intervals along the third direction in this embodiment, and each positioning block includes a first inclined portion 6 and a second inclined portion 7 inclined in the same direction, so that the first inclined portion 6 can be fixed to the base 1, the second inclined portion 7 is connected to the positioning wheel 5, and a gap can be formed below the first inclined portion 6 and the second inclined portion 7 to avoid other components and the support plate 4.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the high ends of the first inclined portion 6 and the second inclined portion 7 are both inclined toward the support plate 4, so as to arrange the positioning wheel 5 close to the side of the support plate 4. Preferably, the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, further, in one embodiment, two adjacent positioning blocks are connected by a plurality of connecting rods 8, which are used to improve the stability of each positioning block.

[0034] Preferably, a plurality of connecting blocks 9 are protruding outward from the connection between the first inclined portion 6 and the second inclined portion 7 for fixing to the base 1; the setting of the connecting blocks 9 can avoid the upper and middle parts of the positioning bracket being set in a suspended state in the conveying channel, and the base 1 is connected to the positioning bracket through the connecting blocks 9, thereby further improving the stability of the positioning bracket.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the chain 3 transmission structure is set to two, each of which includes two sprockets 2 installed on the base 1, and a chain 3 surrounding and meshing with the sprocket 2, and the two sprockets 2 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, so that the chain 3 is arranged along the first direction. Specifically, in order to move the aluminum ingots from one end of the base 1 to the other end one by one, two chain 3 transmission structures are arranged on the inner wall of the conveying channel, and the two chain 3 transmission structures are coordinated by two connecting shafts so that they can move synchronously; the chain 3 transmission structure includes two sprockets 2 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and a chain 3 surrounding and meshing with the sprocket 2, and the sprocket 2 is driven by the motor to rotate so that the chain 3 is linked to move the aluminum ingots thereon.

[0036] The support plate 4 is driven by a lifting cylinder (not shown) disposed on the base 1 to drive the support plate 4 to move back and forth in an up and down direction, thereby lifting the aluminum ingot thereon.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it.
