Description
Technical Field

A casting station, a cooling station, and a demolding station are sequentially arranged around the circumferential side of the disk ingot casting machine. The disk ingot casting machine drives the molds to move. Liquid metal is introduced into the molds at the casting station. During the process of the molds moving from the casting station to the cooling station, workers insert lifting lugs into the metal liquid with the help of tools. After passing through the cooling station in the molds, the metal liquid solidifies to form metal ingots. The solidified metal ingots move to the demolding station, and the metal ingots are lifted by a crane. Workers continuously hammer and vibrate the molds to make the molds fall off the metal ingots, and then the metal ingots are transferred by a crane. The empty molds continue to move to the casting station, and so on, realizing the continuous production of lead ingots.

Those skilled in the art should understand that these implementation manners are only used to explain the technical principle of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0057] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0058] In order to solve the problems that the existing disc ingot casting machine system has a lot of manual operations in the production process, workers are easily exposed to high temperature radiation and burns, and the safety hazards are relatively high. At the same time, there are problems such as high labor intensity, low production efficiency and unstable production quality.
[0059] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, this embodiment discloses a disc ingot casting machine system, which can cast ingots of metals such as lead, zinc, aluminum and alloys. This embodiment is explained by taking liquid lead as an example. The disc ingot casting machine system includes a disc ingot casting machine body 1, at least one ear insertion device 5, a cooling device 6, an automatic demoulding device, a crack detection device 12, a spray gun 123, a hot air device, a plurality of molds 2 and a liquid guide plate 3, and also includes at least one casting station, an ear insertion station, a cooling station, a demoulding station, a mold processing station and a preheating station. Among them, the cooling station includes a natural cooling station, a liquid cooling station and / or an air cooling station, and this embodiment includes multiple natural cooling stations and liquid cooling stations.
[0060] The number of each station, the arrangement order of the natural cooling station and the liquid cooling station can be set according to the actual production situation. In this embodiment, a total of 21 stations are taken as an example for explanation. Station No. 1 is a casting station, station No. 3 is a lifting ear insertion station, stations No. 2, 4-8 and 13-17 are natural cooling stations, stations No. 9-12 are liquid cooling stations, station No. 18 is a demolding station. Because the demolding device occupies a large area, station No. 19 is not operated, station No. 20 is a mold processing station, and station No. 21 is a preheating station.
[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the main body 1 of the disk ingot casting machine includes a base 101, a disk 102, and a driving mechanism for driving the disk 102 to rotate. The disk 102 is rotatably connected to the base 101. A plurality of molds 2 are evenly arranged in a circle on the disk 102. The cross-section of the liquid guide plate 3 is an inverted "V" shape, and the liquid guide plate 3 is placed on the tops of two adjacent molds 2. The driving mechanism includes a driving motor 103 installed on the base 101. The output shaft of the driving motor 103 is fixedly connected to the disk 102. Starting the driving motor 103 can drive the disk 102 to rotate, enabling the molds 2 to move cyclically to each working station. As another preferred embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 103, a main gear, and a sub-gear. The main gear is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 103, and the sub-gear is coaxially connected to the disk 102. The main gear meshes with the sub-gear. Starting the driving motor 103 drives the main gear to rotate, driving the sub-gear and the disk 102 to rotate, enabling the molds 2 to move cyclically to each working station.
[0062] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, during the production process of the disk ingot casting machine system, the lead liquid flowing out of the smelting furnace is injected into the empty mold 2 through the introduction plate or the lead extraction pump. After the lead liquid in the mold 2 reaches the set liquid level, start the driving motor 103 to rotate the disk 102, move the mold 2 with the injection completed to the next working station, and at the same time move the empty mold 2 from the previous working station into the position, and continue to inject lead liquid into the empty mold 2. During the production process, the lead liquid supplied by the smelting furnace continuously flows, and the lead liquid falling on the liquid guide plate 3 flows into the mold 2 with the injection completed or the empty mold 2, so as to reduce the possibility of the lead liquid flowing onto the disk 102. By setting the rotation speed and start / stop of the driving motor 103, not only can the process operations of each working station be completed, but also the liquid level of the lead liquid in the mold 2 can be within the allowable error range.
[0063] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the mold 2 with the lead liquid injection completed is moved to the ear inserting and lifting position. The upper surface of the lead liquid is leveled by the ear inserting and lifting device 5, and then the lifting ear 4 is inserted. The ear inserting and lifting device 5 includes a first control member, a first robot 51, a first connecting flange, a scraping plate 53 installed on the first connecting flange, and a clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism can clamp or release the lifting ear 4. The scraping plate 53 can level the surface of the lead liquid. The scraping plate 53 and the clamping mechanism are not in the same plane, so they will not affect each other. The first robot 51 is a multi-joint automatic robot commonly used in the assembly field, such as the Kawasaki RS050N assembly robot, which can perform various actions such as arm rotation, wrist rotation, wrist bending, wrist torsion, and forward / backward / upward / downward movement of the arm. The specific structure will not be elaborated here. The first connecting flange is installed on the first robot 51. The first control member is a first controller. Through the first controller, the first robot 51 can be controlled to rotate the scraping plate 53 above the mold 2 and drive the scraping plate 53 to move to level the surface of the lead liquid, making the surface of the lead ingot smoother.
[0064] The first controller can also control the first robot 51 to move the clamping mechanism and control the clamping mechanism along a set route. The clamping mechanism includes a clamping driving member 521 and two clamping jaws 522. The clamping driving member 521 is a finger cylinder with two output ends, and the clamping jaws 522 are fixedly arranged at the output ends of the finger cylinder respectively. The two clamping jaws 522 are controlled by the finger cylinder to clamp or release the lug 4. After the surface of the lead liquid is leveled, the first control member controls the scraper 53 to reset, and controls the first robot 51 to move the clamping mechanism along the set route, so that the clamping jaws 522 clamp the lug 4 at the storage place of the lug 4, and then move to the mold 2 to insert the lower part of the lug 4 into the lead liquid and release the lug 4, completing the insertion of the lug 4. The first controller can also control the first robot 51 to rotate the lug 4 after inserting the lower part of the lug 4 into the lead liquid to stir the lead liquid and reduce the temperature of the lead liquid. Compared with manually leveling the surface of the lead liquid and inserting the lug 4, by moving the scraper 53 and the clamping mechanism by the first robot 51, the safety hazards of workers can be reduced, and the insertion position of the lug 4 is more accurate, and the leveling speed of the lead liquid and the insertion speed of the lug 4 are faster, thereby improving production efficiency and stabilizing production quality.
[0065] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, further, the lug inserting device 5 further includes a feeding mechanism. The lug 4 is placed on the feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism feeds the clamping mechanism, which can simplify the walking route of the first robot 51. The feeding mechanism includes a placement rack 541, an inclined beam 542, a baffle 543, a lifting driving member 544 and a lifting plate 545. The baffle 543 is fixed at one end of the placement rack 541. The inclined beam 542 is inclined downward towards the end of the baffle 543. A plurality of lugs 4 are placed on the inclined beam 542. Due to the inclined arrangement of the inclined beam 542, the lugs 4 will slide to fit with the baffle 543. The lifting driving member 544 adopts a lifting cylinder, and the lifting plate 545 is fixed at the output end of the lifting cylinder. When the lifting cylinder is started, the lifting plate 545 can push the lug 4 upward, so that the clamping mechanism can clamp the lug 4. Compared with fixedly placing the lug 4, the first robot 51 moves the clamping mechanism to different positions to clamp the lug 4 each time. By using the feeding mechanism, the first robot 51 can move the clamping mechanism to a fixed position each time, that is, above the lifting cylinder, which can simplify the moving route of the first robot 51.
[0066] As Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, after the lifting lug 4 is inserted, the mold 2 continues to move through the natural cooling station and the liquid cooling station, and at the liquid cooling station, the lead liquid is rapidly cooled by the cooling device 6. The cooling device 6 includes a spray support 61, a water inlet pipe (not shown in the figure), and a plurality of nozzles 62. The nozzles 62 are installed on the spray support 61 and are communicated with the water inlet pipe. The coolant is water. The water inlet pipe is externally connected to a water supply device to supply water into the nozzles 62. After passing through the nozzles 62, the water is sprayed more evenly onto the lead liquid, causing the lead liquid to cool and form a lead ingot to be demolded.
[0067] As Figure 1 , 2 and Figures 5 - 10 shown, the lead ingot to be demolded is moved to the demolding station, and the mold 2 is detached from the lead ingot by the automatic demolding device. The automatic demolding device includes a first frame 10, a position avoidance device 7, a transplanting device 8, and a knocking and vibrating device 9. The position avoidance device 7 and the knocking and vibrating device 9 are installed on the first frame 10, and the first frame 10 is fixed on the transplanting device 8. Of course, the first frame 10 can also be fixed to the ground separately. The position avoidance device 7 is located on one side of the mold 2, and the liquid guide plate 3 is placed on the top of two adjacent molds 2, that is, a liquid guide plate 3 is placed on both sides of the top of the mold 2 of each lead ingot to be demolded. The two liquid guide plates 3 on the top of the mold 2 can be removed by the position avoidance device 7, so that the transplanting device 8 can lift the non-demolded lead ingot. The knocking and vibrating device 9 is located above the mold 2. By knocking the upper edge of the mold 2 with the knocking and vibrating device 9, the mold 2 is detached from the lead ingot. The detached mold 2 falls onto the ingot casting machine body and continues to move to the next station. The transplanting device 8 moves the demolded lead ingot to the designated position, and then the transplanting device 8 resets to lift the next lead ingot to be demolded.
[0068] If the demolding of the lead ingot fails, the control system alarms, stops the transplanting device 8, and manually intervenes to transfer the lead ingot with failed demolding and replenish a new empty mold 2. Then, the transplanting device 8 is controlled to make the transplanting device 8 in the state after successful demolding, waiting to process the next lead ingot to be demolded. Since the manual intervention time is short, the position avoidance device 7 and the knocking and vibrating device 9 do not need to stop, which will not affect the processing of the next lead ingot, enabling continuous production of lead ingots. By cooperating with the position avoidance device 7, the transplanting device 8, and the knocking and vibrating device 9 to demold the lead ingot, replacing manual demolding, it can reduce the contact between workers and lead ingots, reduce the labor intensity of workers, reduce safety hazards, and improve production efficiency at the same time.
[0069] As Figures 5 to 7As shown in the figure, specifically, the avoidance device 7 includes a mounting frame 74, a second lifting mechanism 71, a swinging mechanism 73 and two avoidance mechanisms 72. The mounting frame 74 is fixed on the first frame 10. The second lifting mechanism 71 is mounted on the mounting frame 74. The swinging mechanism 73 is mounted on the second lifting mechanism 71. The second lifting mechanism 71 can drive the swinging mechanism 73 to rise or fall. The two avoidance mechanisms 72 are both mounted on the swinging mechanism 73 and are arranged corresponding to the two liquid guide plates 3 on the mold 2. One end of the avoidance mechanism 72 can extend into or out of the lower part of the liquid guide plate 3. After the avoidance mechanism 72 extends into the lower part of the liquid guide plate 3, the second lifting mechanism 71 drives the swinging mechanism 73 to rise, so that the avoidance mechanism 72 can lift the liquid guide plate 3. Then, the swinging mechanism 73 drives the two avoidance mechanisms 72 to move horizontally away from the mold 2, so as to facilitate the transplanting device 8 to lift the undemolded lead ingots.
[0070] The second lifting mechanism 71 includes a second linear driving member 711, a lifting seat 712, at least one second slider and a second guide rail 713. The lifting seat 712 is fixed at the output end of the second linear driving member 711. The second linear driving member 711 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 74. The swinging mechanism 73 is mounted on the lifting seat 712. Starting the second linear driving member 711 can drive the lifting seat 712 to rise and fall, driving the swinging mechanism 73, the avoidance mechanism 72 and the liquid guide plate 3 to rise and fall synchronously, so that the liquid guide plate 3 can move away from or close to the mold 2. In this embodiment, the number of the second sliders and the second guide rails 713 are both set to two. The second sliders are fixed on the lifting seat 712. The second guide rails 713 are fixed on the mounting frame 74. The second sliders are slidably arranged on the second guide rails 713 in one-to-one correspondence. Through the cooperation of the second sliders and the second guide rails 713, the lifting seat 712 can rise and fall more stably under the drive of the second linear driving member 711.
[0071] As Figures 5 to 7 shown in the figure, the swinging mechanism 73 includes a third linear driving member 731, a connecting block 732, two connecting arms 733, a swinging arm 734, a third guide rail 735 fixed on the lifting seat 712 and a third slider fixed on the connecting block 732. The third linear driving member 731 is mounted on the lifting seat 712. The connecting block 732 is fixed at the output end of the third linear driving member 731. The third slider is slidably arranged on the third guide rail 735. Starting the third linear driving member 731 can drive the connecting block 732 to move away from or close to the mold 2. The connecting arms 733 and the swinging arm 734 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. One end of the connecting arm 733 is hinged on the connecting block 732. The other end of the connecting arm 733 is hinged to the swinging arm 734. The swinging arm 734 is hinged to the lifting seat 712. The avoidance mechanism 72 is fixed on the swinging arm 734.
[0072] When the third linear driving member 731 drives the connecting block 732 to move, the connecting block 732 drives the connecting arm 733 to swing, and the connecting arm 733 drives the swinging arm 734, so that the swinging arm 734 swings around the hinge point between itself and the lifting seat 712, thereby driving the avoidance mechanism 72 to swing away from or close to the mold 2, so that the liquid guide plate 3 can move away from or close to the mold 2 in the horizontal direction.
[0073] As Figures 5 to 7 shown, the avoidance mechanism 72 includes a telescopic assembly 721, an avoidance rod 722 and a limiting plate 723 fixed on the avoidance rod 722. The liquid guide plate 3 is provided with a jack 31 for the avoidance rod 722 to be inserted into. After the avoidance rod 722 is inserted into the jack 31, the limiting plate 723 fits against one end of the liquid guide plate 3. The telescopic assembly 721 includes a fourth linear driving member 7211 and a connecting rod 7212 fixed to the output end of the fourth linear driving member 7211. In this embodiment, the fourth linear driving member 7211 is a rodless cylinder, and the rodless cylinder is installed on the swinging arm 734. The avoidance rod 722 is fixedly connected to the liquid guide plate 3. The fourth linear driving member 7211 can drive the avoidance rod 722 to be inserted into the jack 31 or pulled out of the jack 31.
[0074] When the lead ingot to be demolded moves to the automatic demolding device, start the fourth linear driving member 7211 to insert the avoidance rod 722 into the jack 31, and then start the second linear driving member 711 to drive the lifting seat 712 to rise, driving the swinging device, the telescopic assembly 721 and the avoidance rod 722 to rise, so that the liquid guide plate 3 moves away from the mold 2 in the vertical direction. Then start the third linear driving member 731 to drive the connecting block 732 to move, and the connecting block 732 drives the connecting arm 733 to swing, driving the swinging arm 734 to swing, so that the telescopic assembly 721 and the avoidance rod 722 can be driven to move away from the mold 2, so that the two liquid guide plates 3 on the top of the mold 2 can move away from the mold 2 in the horizontal direction and move the liquid guide plate 3 away. At this time, the two liquid guide plates 3 are not directly above the mold 2, which can reduce the possibility that the liquid guide plate 3 affects the lifting of the lead ingot by the transplanting device 8 and the demolded mold 2 falling back onto the disc 102.
[0075] After the demolded mold 2 falls back onto the disc 102, start the third linear driving member 731 to drive the connecting block 732 to reset, so that the avoidance rod 722 and the liquid guide plate 3 are reset directly above the mold 2, and then start the second linear driving member 711 to drive the lifting seat 712 to descend, so that the liquid guide plates 3 on both sides descend to fit against the mold 2. Then start the fourth linear driving member 7211 to reset, so that the avoidance rod 722 is withdrawn from the jack 31 and moved to one side of the swinging arm 734 so as not to affect the movement of the mold 2, so that the liquid guide plate 3 can be reset. By using the avoidance device 7 to replace manual movement of the liquid guide plate 3, manual operation can be reduced, safety hazards can be reduced, and production efficiency can be improved.
[0076] As Figures 5 to 9 shown, after the avoidance device 7 removes the two liquid guide plates 3, the transplanting device 8 is activated to lift the lead ingot to be demolded. The transplanting device 8 includes a truss 81, a translation mechanism 82, a first lifting mechanism 83, and a hook 84. The truss 81 includes a support frame 811 and a cross beam 812 fixed on the support frame 811, and the support frame 811 is fixed on the ground. The translation mechanism 82 is installed on the cross beam 812, and the first lifting mechanism 83 is installed on the translation mechanism 82. By driving the first lifting mechanism 83 to move through the translation mechanism 82, the hook 84 can extend into the lifting lug 4, and then the first lifting mechanism 83 is activated to lift the lead ingot to be demolded. The mold 2 is knocked by the knocking device 9 to demold the lead ingot, and then the translation mechanism 82 drives the first lifting mechanism 83 to move, moving the successfully demolded lead ingot to a designated position. Then the first lifting mechanism 83 resets, and the translation mechanism 82 resets, preparing to lift the next lead ingot to be demolded.
[0077] As Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the translation mechanism 82 includes a sliding seat 821 and a translation driving assembly 822. The first lifting mechanism 83 is installed on the sliding seat 821. A plurality of pulley groups are installed on the sliding seat 821. The sliding seat 821 is placed on the cross beam 812, and the pulley groups are in contact with the cross beam 812. The pulley groups can reduce the friction between the sliding seat 821 and the cross beam 812. The sliding seat 821 can be driven to reciprocate through the translation driving assembly 822, so that the first lifting mechanism 83 and the hook 84 move synchronously.
[0078] The translation driving assembly 822 includes a translation motor 8221, a transmission assembly, and at least one first driving assembly. In this embodiment, the number of the first driving assemblies is taken as two for illustration. One ends of the two first driving assemblies are connected to the sliding seat 821, and the other ends are connected to the transmission assembly. The translation motor 8221 is installed on the sliding seat 821, and the transmission assembly is installed on the sliding seat 821 and is in transmission connection with the translation motor 8221. Starting the translation motor 8221 can drive the transmission assembly, so that the transmission assembly drives the first driving assembly, and the sliding seat 821 can be moved through the first driving assembly, driving the first lifting mechanism 83 and the hook 84 to move synchronously.
[0079] As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown in the figure, the transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft 82231, a volute 82232, a worm gear 82233 and a worm 82234. The volute 82232 is fixed on the sliding seat 821. The worm 82234 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the translation motor 8221 and extends into the volute 82232. The worm gear 82233 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 82231, and both ends of the rotating shaft 82231 extend out of the volute 82232 and are rotatably connected to the volute 82232. The worm gear 82233 meshes with the worm 82234. The first driving assembly includes a first gear 82221 and a first rack 82222. The first gear 82221 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 82231, and the first rack 82222 is fixed on the cross beam 812. The first gear 82221 meshes with the first rack 82222. By driving the worm 82234 to rotate through the translation motor 8221, the worm gear 82233 drives the rotating shaft 82231 to rotate. The rotating shaft 82231 drives the two first gears 82221 to rotate. Since the first rack 82222 is fixed on the cross beam 812 and the sliding seat 821 is slidably mounted on the cross beam 812, the sliding seat 821 can be moved along the length direction of the rack, and further the first lifting mechanism 83 and the lifting lug 4 are moved. By controlling the rotation direction of the translation motor 8221, the moving direction of the sliding seat 821 can be changed.
[0080] Of course, the translation motor 8221 and the volute 82232 can also be fixed on the cross beam 812. Both ends of the rotating shaft 82231 are rotatably connected to the cross beam 812. The first gear 82221 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 82231, and the first rack 82222 is fixed on the sliding seat 821. By driving the worm 82234 to rotate through the translation motor 8221, the worm gear 82233 drives the rotating shaft 82231 to rotate. The rotating shaft 82231 drives the two first gears 82221 to rotate, and the first gear 82221 drives the rack to move, which can also drive the sliding seat 821 to move, so that the first lifting mechanism 83 and the lifting lug 4 are moved.
[0081] Such as Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, the first lifting mechanism 83 includes a lifting block 831 and a lifting drive assembly. Since the weight of lead ingots is usually relatively heavy, in order to enable the lifting block 831 to lift and lower more stably, two lifting drive assemblies are provided in this embodiment and are symmetrically arranged. The lifting drive assembly includes a lifting motor 8321 and a second drive assembly. The second drive assembly includes a second gear 83221 and a second rack 83222. The lifting motor 8321 is installed on the sliding seat 821. The second gear 83221 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 8321. The second rack 83222 is fixed on the lifting block 831. The second gear 83221 meshes with the second rack 83222. By driving the second gear 83221 to rotate through the lifting motor 8321, the second rack 83222 can drive the lifting block 831 to rise or fall to lift or lower the lead ingot.
[0082] As Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, further, the transplanting device 8 further includes a weighing mechanism 85. The weighing mechanism 85 includes a weighing member 851, a connecting plate 852, a plurality of pull rods 853, and a stop block 854 fixed at one end of the pull rod 853. The end of the pull rod 853 away from the stop block 854 slidably penetrates through the connecting plate 852 and is fixed on the lifting block 831. The connecting plate 852 can be guided through the pull rod 853. One end of the weighing member 851 is fixed on the lifting block 831, and the other end is fixed on the connecting plate 852. The hook is fixed on the side of the connecting plate 852 facing away from the weighing member 851. After the hook lifts the lead ingot, the weight of the lead ingot can be measured through the weighing member 851, and the weight information is transmitted to the control system of the automatic demoulding device to determine whether the lead ingot is successfully demoulded. The weighing member 851 is a commonly used weighing sensor in the art and will not be elaborated here.
[0083] After the avoidance device 7 removes the two liquid guide plates 3, start the translation motor 8221 to drive the sliding seat 821 to move, so that the lifting hook 84 can extend into the lifting lug 4. Then start the lifting motor 8321 to drive the lifting block 831 to rise by a second preset height, and start the knocking and vibrating device 9 to knock the mold 2. A plurality of position sensors are installed on the disc 102 to detect whether the mold 2 returns to its position. After detecting that the mold 2 returns to its position, that is, after the mold 2 falls off onto the disc 102, stop the knocking and vibrating device 9 and weigh the lead ingot.
[0084] If it is less than the preset weight, the preset weight can be determined according to the sum of the weight of the lead ingots in this batch and the weight of the mold 2. If the lead ingots are successfully demolded, if it is not less than the preset weight, it is determined that the lead ingots are not successfully demolded. Or after the knocking device 9 knocks the mold 2 for a second preset time period and the return of the mold 2 is still not detected, stop the knocking device 9 and weigh the lead ingots. If it is less than the preset weight, it is determined that the lead ingots are successfully demolded. If it is not less than the preset weight, it is determined that the lead ingots are not successfully demolded. If the return of the mold 2 is detected, but the demolding is determined to be unsuccessful, or the return of the mold 2 is detected, but the demolding is determined to be successful, the control system alarms and the operator repairs the position sensor and the weighing member 851.
[0085] As Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the knocking device 9 includes at least one knocking mechanism 91 and an adjusting mechanism 92. In this embodiment, the number of the adjusting mechanisms 92 is taken as two as an example, and the number of the knocking mechanisms 91 is taken as three as an example for illustration. Two of the knocking mechanisms 91 are installed on one adjusting mechanism 92, and the other knocking mechanism 91 is installed on the other adjusting mechanism 92. And the three knocking mechanisms 91 are not on the same horizontal line. Preferably, the three knocking mechanisms 91 are arranged in a triangle. When in use, two of the knocking mechanisms 91 arranged diagonally are started, and the other knocking mechanism 91 is reserved. This setting method can make the mold 2 fall off faster. The distance between the knocking mechanism 91 and the mold 2 can be adjusted through the adjusting mechanism 92 so that the knocking mechanism 91 is applicable to molds 2 of different heights. Of course, the adjusting mechanism 92 may not be provided, and only rely on the transplanting device 8 to adjust the distance between the mold 2 and the knocking mechanism 91. Only the distance between the bottom of the mold 2 of different heights and the body of the transplanting device 8 will change. Without affecting the demolding effect of the lead ingots, the applicable height of the mold 2 will be reduced.
[0086] The adjusting mechanism 92 includes a first linear driving member 921, a mounting plate 922, a first slider 924 fixed on the mounting plate 922, and a first guide rail 923 fixed on the first rack 10. The first slider 924 is slidably disposed on the first guide rail 923. The first linear driving member 921 is installed on the first rack 10, the mounting plate 922 is fixed on the output end of the first linear driving member 921, and the knocking mechanism 91 is installed on the mounting plate 922. By starting the first linear driving member 921, the mounting plate 922 can be driven to rise or fall, driving the knocking mechanism 91 to rise or fall to adjust the distance between the knocking mechanism 91 and the mold 2.
[0087] As Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, the knocking mechanism 91 includes a third control member, a driving member, and a knocking member. The third control member can control the start / stop and operating parameters of the driving member. The driving member is used to drive the knocking member to knock the mold 2. In this embodiment, the third control member is a third controller, the driving member is a knocking cylinder 911, and the knocking member is a hammer head 912. The knocking cylinder 911 is installed on the mounting plate 922, and the hammer head 912 is fixed to the output end of the knocking member. The knocking cylinder 911 can drive the hammer head 912 to knock the upper edge of the mold 2, so that the lead ingot can be demolded.
[0088] A temperature sensor is installed on the first frame 10 to detect the temperature of the mold 2 of the lead ingot to be demolded and transmit the detected temperature data to the third controller in real time. The third controller can receive and record the intake pressure, knocking frequency, knocking duration, and mold 2 temperature of the knocking cylinder 911 this time. The third controller can also select, from the historical data of successful demolding, a data set that is close to the intake pressure, knocking frequency, knocking duration, and mold 2 temperature of the knocking cylinder 911 this time and has the shortest knocking duration for successful demolding as the preferred data set, and output the intake pressure and knocking frequency in the preferred data set as the intake pressure and knocking frequency of the knocking cylinder 911 next time.
[0089] The control process repeats until the lead ingot is successfully demolded, that is, the mold 2 returns to the original position and the weight of the lead ingot detected by the weighing member 851 is less than the preset weight, or after the mold 2 is knocked for the second preset duration, the third controller controls the knocking cylinder 911 to stop. By selecting the preferred data set by the third controller and outputting the intake pressure and knocking frequency in the preferred data set as the intake pressure and knocking frequency of the knocking cylinder 911 next time, the hammer head 912 can knock the mold 2 at the corresponding pressure and frequency, so that the lead ingot can be demolded faster.
[0090] As Figure 5 and Figure 10As shown, after the transplanting device 8 hoists the lead ingot to the second preset height, the operator gives the intake pressure and knocking frequency for the first knocking of the knocking cylinder 911 according to experience. The third controller controls the knocking cylinder 911 to start, so that the hammer head 912 can knock on the upper edge of the mold 2 with the given intake pressure and knocking frequency. Then, based on the intake pressure, knocking frequency, knocking duration of the knocking cylinder 911 this time and the temperature of the mold 2, the third controller selects, from the historical data of successful demolding, the data group that is close to the intake pressure, knocking frequency, knocking duration of the knocking cylinder 911 this time and the temperature of the mold 2, and has the shortest knocking duration for successful demolding as the preferred data group, and outputs the intake pressure and knocking frequency in the preferred data group as the intake pressure and knocking frequency for the next time of the knocking cylinder 911. The control process repeats cyclically, and the hammer head 912 knocks on the mold 2 with the corresponding intake pressure and knocking frequency until it is determined that the demolding is successful or the mold 2 has been knocked for the second preset duration.
[0091] By driving the hammer head 912 to knock on the mold 2 through the knocking pneumatic hammer, replacing manual knocking on the mold 2, the lead ingot can be demolded faster, the degree of manual participation can be reduced, and the demolding efficiency can be improved.
[0092] As Figure 2 、 Figures 5 to 10 As shown, after it is determined that the lead ingot has been successfully demolded, start the translation motor 8221 to drive the sliding seat 821 to the designated position, such as transferring to the deburring station, transfer platform or transfer trolley, so as to continue processing the lead ingot. After the sliding seat 821 moves to the designated position, start the lifting motor 8321 to drive the lifting block 831 to descend, so that the lead ingot is placed at the designated position. Then, the translation motor 8221 drives the sliding seat 821 to move away from the lead ingot, so that the lifting hook 84 disengages from the lifting lug 4. Start the lifting motor 8321 to reset the lifting block 831, and then start the translation motor 8221 to drive the sliding seat 821 to reset, waiting to hoist the next lead ingot to be demolded. After it is determined that the lead ingot demolding fails, the control system alarms, and the operator intervenes to transfer the lead ingot with demolding failure away and replenish a new empty mold 2, and then control the translation motor 8221 and the lifting motor 8321 to make the transplanting device 8 in the state after successful demolding, waiting to process the next lead ingot to be demolded.
[0093] By the cooperation of the translation motor 8221 and the lifting motor 8321, controlling the lifting hook 84 and the sliding seat 821 to hoist and transfer the metal ingot can improve the operation accuracy of hoisting and transferring the metal ingot to the set position, reduce the degree of manual participation, and improve the production efficiency.
[0094] The main body 1 of the disk ingot casting machine transfers the lead ingot to be demolded to the automatic demolding device. Start the fourth linear driving member 7211 to insert the avoidance rod 722 into the jack 31. Start the second linear driving member 711 to drive the lifting seat 712 to rise. Start the third linear driving member 731 to make the avoidance rod 722 drive the liquid guide plate 3 to swing away from the mold 2, and move the two liquid guide plates 3 at the top of the mold 2 away. Then start the translation motor 8221 to drive the sliding seat 821 to move, so that the hook 84 can extend into the lifting lug 4. Start the lifting motor 8321 to drive the lifting block 831 to rise by a second preset height. The staff gives the intake pressure and knocking frequency of the knocking cylinder 911 according to experience, and starts the knocking cylinder 911. Then the third controller selects the optimal data group from the historical data of successful demolding according to the received parameters, and outputs the intake pressure and knocking frequency in the optimal data group as the intake pressure and knocking frequency of the knocking cylinder 911 for the next time, so that the hammer head 912 can knock the mold 2 at the corresponding pressure and frequency. The control process is repeated cyclically, and the hammer head 912 knocks the mold 2 at the corresponding intake pressure and knocking frequency until it is determined that the demolding is successful or the mold 2 is knocked for the second preset duration.
[0095] After the control system determines that the lead ingot is successfully demolded, start the translation motor 8221 to drive the sliding seat 821 to the designated position. At the same time, start the third linear driving member 731 to drive the connecting block 732 to reset, start the second linear driving member 711 to drive the lifting seat 712 to descend, and start the fourth linear driving member 7211 to reset to make the two liquid guide plates 3 reset. After it is determined that the demolding of the lead ingot fails, the control system alarms, and the staff intervenes to transfer the lead ingot with demolding failure and replenish a new empty mold 2. Then control the translation motor 8221 and the lifting motor 8321 to make the transplanting device 8 in the state after successful demolding, waiting to process the next lead ingot to be demolded. Removing the liquid guide plate 3, lifting the lead ingot, knocking the mold 2, and transferring the lead ingot are all completed by the control system controlling the automatic demolding device. Only when the demolding fails, manual participation is required, which can reduce the labor intensity of workers, reduce potential safety hazards, and at the same time improve the demolding efficiency of lead ingots, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire lead ingot production process.
[0096] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 11As shown in the figure, further, the disk ingot casting machine system further includes a grinding device 11 and a transfer cart 13. The grinding device 11 includes a second frame 111, a turntable 112, a driving rotation motor 113 and a grinding mechanism 114. The turntable 112 is rotatably connected to the second frame 111. The driving rotation motor 113 is installed on the second frame 111, and the output shaft of the driving rotation motor 113 is in transmission connection with the turntable 112. The lead ingot that has been successfully demolded is moved onto the turntable 112 by the transplanting device 8. The driving rotation motor 113 can drive the turntable 112 to rotate, causing the lead ingot to rotate, so that the grinding mechanism 114 can grind the lead ingot to remove the burrs on the lead ingot. The grinding mechanism 114 includes a milling cutter 1141, a grinding motor 1142, an assembly plate 1143 and a fifth linear driving member 1144. The fifth linear driving member 1144 is installed on the second frame 111. The assembly plate 1143 is slidably arranged on the second frame 111 and fixedly connected to the output end of the fifth linear driving member 1144. The fifth linear driving member 1144 can drive the assembly plate 1143 to move in a direction away from or close to the turntable 112. The grinding motor 1142 is installed on the assembly plate 1143. The milling cutter 1141 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the grinding motor 1142. The grinding motor 1142 can drive the milling cutter 1141 to rotate, so that the milling cutter 1141 can grind the lead ingot. After the lead ingot is moved onto the turntable 112, the fifth linear driving member 1144 drives the assembly plate 1143 to move, making the milling cutter 1141 fit with the lead ingot. Then, the driving rotation motor 113 and the grinding motor 1142 are started, causing the lead ingot and the milling cutter 1141 to rotate, and removing the burrs from the lead ingot.
[0097] The grinding device 11 further includes a material guiding plate 115 fixed to the second frame 111 and a collection box 116 placed on the ground. The debris generated during the process of the milling cutter 1141 grinding the lead ingot falls onto the material guiding plate 115 and slides into the collection box 116 for collection, making the on-site environment cleaner.
[0098] As Figure 1 、 Figures 5 to 11As shown, the metal ingot to be demolded is moved to the demolding station. The avoidance device 7 is activated to remove the two liquid guide plates 3 placed on the top of the mold 2, and then the transplanting device 8 hoists the lead ingot to be demolded, and the knocking and vibrating device 9 is activated to knock on the mold 2. If the weight of the lead ingot is less than the preset weight, the lead ingot is successfully demolded, and the transplanting device 8 is activated to transfer the lead ingot to the turntable 112. After the burrs of the lead ingot are polished, the lead ingot is moved to the transfer cart 13 by the transplanting device 8, and then the transplanting device 8 resets, and the transfer cart 13 moves the lead ingot away. At the same time, the avoidance device 7 places the two liquid guide plates 3 back on the top of the mold 2, so that the liquid guide plates 3 are placed on the tops of two adjacent molds 2, and the empty mold 2 moves to the next station, and the next lead ingot to be demolded moves to the demolding station. If the weight of the lead ingot is not less than the preset weight, the demolding of the lead ingot fails, and the control system alarms. The operator intervenes to transfer the lead ingot with demolding failure away and replenish a new empty mold 2, and then controls the transplanting device 8 to be in the state after successful demolding, waiting to process the next lead ingot to be demolded. By cooperating with the avoidance device 7, the transplanting device 8 and the knocking and vibrating device 9 to demold the metal ingot, manual demolding can be replaced, which can reduce the workers' contact with the metal ingot, reduce potential safety hazards, and improve production efficiency at the same time.
[0099] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 12 shown, the mold 2 moves to the mold processing station. The mold 2 is detected by the crack detection device 12, and the mold release agent is sprayed onto the inner wall of the mold 2 that can continue to be used through the spray gun 123, so that the cooled lead ingot can be easily demolded. The crack detection device 12 includes a second control member, a second robot 121, a second connecting flange, and an image capturing member 122. The image capturing member 122 and the spray gun 123 are both installed on the second connecting flange. The second robot 121 is a common multi-joint automated robot in the assembly field, such as the Kawasaki RS020N assembly robot, which can perform various actions such as arm rotation, wrist rotation, wrist bending and wrist torsion, and arm front-back and up-down movement. The specific structure will not be elaborated here. The second connecting flange is installed on the second robot 121, and the second control member is a second controller. Through the second controller, the second robot 121 can be controlled to move the image capturing member 122 along the planned shooting route, so that the image capturing member 122 can sequentially capture each surface of the mold 2, and transmit the image information to the second control member, and the second control member judges whether the mold 2 can continue to be used.
[0100] Specifically, the second control component stores the alarm values of five faces of the mold 2: L1, D1, L2, D2, L3, D3, L4, D4, L5, D6. The alarm values include the length and width of cracks. For example, the length L1 and width D1 of the bottom surface alarm value, the length L2 and width D2 of the first side surface alarm value, and so on. Each face of the mold 2 has corresponding alarm values. The second control component controls the second robot 121 to move to the first position. The image capturing component 122 captures the bottom surface of the mold 2 and transmits the image information to the second control component. The second control component obtains the characteristic values of the image, which include the length L10 and width D10 of the crack. It is judged whether L10 is less than L1 and whether D10 is less than D1. If not, the second controller judges that the mold 2 cannot be used continuously and gives an alarm. Manual intervention is carried out to replace the mold 2. The replacement process is relatively fast and there is no need to stop the disk 102, so continuous production of lead ingots can be realized. If so, the second control component controls the second robot 121 to move to the second position. The image capturing component 122 captures the first side surface of the mold 2 and transmits the image information to the second control component. The second control component obtains the characteristic values of the image, that is, the length L20 and width D20 of the crack, and judges whether L20 is less than L2 and whether D20 is less than D2. If not, the second controller judges that the mold 2 cannot be used continuously and gives an alarm. Manual intervention is carried out to replace the mold 2. If so, the second control component controls the second robot 121 to move to the third position. This cycle continues until the five faces of the mold 2 are all detected. If all five faces meet the judgment conditions, the mold 2 can continue to be used.
[0101] As Figure 12 shown, the spray gun 123 is a commonly used spray gun 123 in the field of ingot casting. The inlet of the spray gun 123 is externally connected to a mold release agent supply device. According to whether the mold release agent is liquid or powder, the corresponding spray gun 123 can be selected. After the second controller judges that the mold 2 can continue to be used, it can also control the spray gun 123 to spray the mold release agent onto the inner wall of the mold 2, so that the lead ingot is easier to demold after cooling.
[0102] The disk ingot casting machine system also includes an exhaust pipe, which is externally connected to a suction device, such as an industrial vacuum cleaner. The exhaust pipe is fixed on the second connecting flange. Before detecting the mold 2, the second controller first controls the second robot 121 to extend the intake end of the exhaust pipe into the mold 2 to suck the lead ingot debris in the mold 2. This reduces the influence of the lead ingot debris on the surface of the mold 2, makes the characteristic values of the captured image by the second controller more accurate, and improves the accuracy of the judgment result.
[0103] As Figure 1As shown, the mold 2 sprayed with the release agent continues to move to the preheating station, and the mold 2 is heated by a hot air device for preheating. The heating device is a commonly used device in the art, and its specific structure will not be described in detail. The preheated mold 2 moves to the casting station and molten lead is re-injected. In this way, continuous production of lead ingots is achieved, and the production efficiency of lead ingots is improved.
[0104] The ear inserting and hanging device 5, the automatic demolding device, the crack detection device 12 and the spray gun 123 are used to replace manual labor to insert the hanging ear 4 into the molten lead, knock and vibrate the mold 2 to make the mold 2 fall off from the lead ingot, detect whether the mold 2 can be used continuously, and spray the release agent on the inner wall of the mold 2. Manual intervention is only required when the demolding of the lead ingot fails and the mold 2 cannot be used continuously, so that the manual participation in the production of lead ingots can be reduced, and the safety hazards and labor intensity of workers can be reduced. Moreover, compared with manual operation, automated mechanical production can also improve production efficiency and stabilize production quality.

However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
