Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum production equipment, in particular to a cooling device for aluminum ingots. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum ingots are made of pure aluminum and recycled aluminum as raw materials. Other elements are added in accordance with international standards or special requirements to improve the deficiencies of pure aluminum in castability, chemical and physical properties. At present, in the production process of aluminum ingots, the recycled waste aluminum is first cleaned and dried, and then the aluminum blocks are melted into molten aluminum in a smelting furnace. The molten aluminum is injected into the aluminum ingot mold cavity through an ingot casting machine to cool and shape it, and finally the formed aluminum ingot is removed from the mold.

[0003] The formed aluminum ingots need to be cooled. Water cooling is one of the traditional cooling methods for cooling aluminum ingots, but the utilization rate of water cooling is low, resulting in high consumption of cooling water. Utility Model Content

[0005] According to the first aspect of the utility model, a cooling device for aluminum ingots includes a first cooling mechanism and a second cooling mechanism. The first cooling mechanism includes a water tank, a cooling trough, a first pipe and a spray head, the cooling trough is located above the water tank, the spray head is located above the cooling trough, the first pipe connects the spray head and one side of the water tank, and the spray head is used to spray water into the cooling trough.

The cooling water passes through the first pipe and is sprayed from the spray head to the aluminum ingots in the cooling trough, so that the aluminum ingots can be cooled evenly, avoiding quality problems of the aluminum ingots caused by uneven cooling.

[0008] 2. The utility model is provided with a first box, a second tube, a heat sink and an exhaust fan. The second tube is used to return the hot water after cooling the aluminum ingots in the cooling trough to the water tank.
