Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of filtering devices, in particular to a heat-insulating molten metal filtering device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, when molten metal is processed, such as molten aluminum products, it is often necessary to filter the metal liquid to preliminarily remove impurities.

[0003] However, in the prior art, the traditional filtering device of this type is simply designed. When filtering through the filter plate, once the filter plate is blocked, the filter plate needs to be replaced, so the entire filtering system needs to be shut down and wait. In this way, the entire filtering efficiency is low, which will affect the overall production efficiency. Therefore, an insulated molten metal filtering device is needed to improve this problem.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting flange is fixedly provided at one end of the liquid inlet, and the liquid inlet can be conveniently connected to other pipelines through the connecting flange.

[0008] Preferably, a locking screw is provided between the filter plate and the filter bin, and the filter plate and the filter bin are fixedly connected by the locking screw. The filter plate and the filter bin can be conveniently fixedly connected together by the locking screw, and the filter plate can be disassembled and replaced at any time when it is necessary.

[0009] Preferably, a heat-insulating cavity is provided inside the side plate, and the heat transfer can be reduced through the heat-insulating cavity to play a role in heat preservation and prevent the molten metal from solidifying inside the device.

[0010] Preferably, a notch is provided on the surface of the filter bin near the liquid inlet, through which the molten metal to be filtered can be conveniently introduced into the filter bin, and then filtered through the filter plate at the lower end under the action of gravity and then flows out from the lower end of the entire device.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. When the filter plate needs to be replaced, the worm is driven by the motor to rotate, so that the worm can drive the worm wheel to rotate, so that the rotating shaft can rotate, so that the upper and lower filter plates can be replaced, and then the clean filter plate that has not participated in the filtering work can be located at the lower end of the filter bin to participate in the filtering work, and the dirty filter plate can be located at the upper end of the filter bin waiting for replacement by the staff, so that the upper and lower filter plates can be filtered alternately, so that when one filter plate is replaced, the other filter plate can continue to perform the filtering work, and the entire system can continue to inject the material to be filtered into the filter bin without stopping, thereby not affecting the normal use of the entire system.

[0013] 2. In the utility model, since the helix angle of the worm is smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the meshing teeth of the worm and the worm wheel, the worm and the worm wheel can be self-locked. This ensures that when the motor does not rotate, the rotating shaft, the worm wheel and the filter chamber will not rotate autonomously, thereby ensuring the stability of the filter chamber and the filter plate during use, and the entire filter chamber does not require other complicated fixing work.

[0018] 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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a heat-insulating molten metal filtering device, comprising a fixed frame 1, side panels 13 are fixedly arranged on all sides of the outer surface of the fixed frame 1, a filtering mechanism for filtering the molten metal is arranged inside the fixed frame 1, the filtering mechanism comprises a rotating shaft 2, a filtering bin 3, a filtering plate 4, and a liquid inlet 5, a rotating shaft 2 is movably arranged between the side walls through a bearing, a filtering bin 3 is fixedly arranged on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2, filter plates 4 are fixedly arranged on the upper and lower ends of the outer surface of the filtering bin 3, a liquid inlet 5 is fixedly arranged on one side of the surface of the side panel 13, and a transmission mechanism for driving the filtering bin 3 to rotate is arranged on one side of the surface of the side panel 13.

[0020] The transmission mechanism includes a worm gear 6, a motor 7, and a worm 8. A worm gear 6 is fixedly provided at one end of the rotating shaft 2, and a motor 7 is fixedly provided on the outer surface of the side plate 13. A worm 8 is fixedly provided at the output shaft end of the motor 7 through a coupling. The worm 8 and the worm gear 6 are meshed with each other. The helical lead angle of the worm 8 is smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the meshing teeth of the worm 8 and the worm gear 6. The rotating shaft 2, the filter chamber 3, and the filter plate 4 can be easily driven to rotate through the transmission mechanism, so that the upper and lower filter plates can be filtered alternately. In this way, when one filter plate is replaced, the other filter plate can continue to filter, thereby not affecting the normal use of the entire system; and because the helical lead angle of the worm 8 is smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the meshing teeth of the worm 8 and the worm gear 6, the worm 8 and the worm gear 6 can be self-locked, so that when the motor 7 does not rotate, the rotating shaft 2, the worm gear 6 and the filter chamber 3 will not rotate autonomously, thereby ensuring the stability of the filter chamber 3 and the filter plate 4 when in use;

[0021] A connecting flange 9 is fixedly provided at one end of the liquid inlet 5, and the liquid inlet 5 can be conveniently connected to other pipelines through the connecting flange 9;

[0022] A locking screw 10 is provided between the filter plate 4 and the filter chamber 3, and the filter plate 4 and the filter chamber 3 are fixedly connected by the locking screw 10. The locking screw 10 can conveniently fix the filter plate 4 and the filter chamber 3 together, and the filter plate 4 can be disassembled and replaced at any time when it is necessary to disassemble and replace it;

[0023] The side plate 13 is provided with a heat-insulating cavity 11 inside, and the heat-insulating cavity 11 can reduce the heat transfer to play a role of heat preservation and prevent the molten metal from solidifying inside the device;

[0024] A notch 12 is provided on one side of the surface of the filter chamber 3 near the liquid inlet 5, through which the molten metal to be filtered can be conveniently introduced into the filter chamber 3, and then filtered through the filter plate 4 at the lower end under the action of gravity and then flow out from the lower end of the entire device;

[0025] Working principle: When using the device, the molten metal to be filtered can be introduced into the filter chamber 3 through the liquid inlet 5 and the notch 12, and then the molten metal is filtered through the filter plate 4 at the lower end under the action of gravity and then flows out from the lower end of the entire device;

[0026] When the filter plate 4 needs to be replaced after a long period of use, the motor 7 drives the worm 8 to rotate, so that the worm 8 can drive the worm wheel 6 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 2 can rotate, so that the upper and lower filter plates 4 can be replaced, and then the clean filter plate 4 that has not participated in the filtering work can be located at the lower end of the filter chamber 3 to participate in the filtering work, while the dirty filter plate 4 can be located at the upper end of the filter chamber 3 to wait for the staff to replace it, so that the upper and lower filter plates can filter alternately, so that when one filter plate is replaced, the other filter plate can continue to filter, thereby not affecting the normal use of the entire system;

[0027] When replacing the filter plate 4 during disassembly, attention should be paid to high temperature. The filter plate 4 can be lifted with an electric hoist during disassembly. When removing the screws, wear heat-insulating gloves and use a socket wrench to disassemble in a safe position.

[0028] Furthermore, when the device is in use, since the helix angle of the worm 8 is smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the meshing teeth of the worm 8 and the worm wheel 6, the worm 8 and the worm wheel 6 can be self-locked. This ensures that when the motor 7 does not rotate, the rotating shaft 2, the worm wheel 6 and the filter chamber 3 will not rotate autonomously, thereby ensuring the stability of the filter chamber 3 and the filter plate 4 during use, and the entire filter chamber 3 does not require other complicated fixing work.
