Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling water return, and particularly relates to a cooling water return device for a copper smelting casting mold. Background Art
[0002] At present, steel molds are usually used for casting anode copper in copper smelting enterprises to produce anode plates with specified dimensions. In the prior art, the steel molds are generally cooled in a water tank, and each single steel mold is cooled separately in a corresponding independent water tank, so that the anode copper in the steel mold can be quickly condensed and formed. The corresponding water tanks are evenly placed on a casting disc. However, the existing casting device does not have the ability to recover cooling water. The cooling water discharged from the water tank is directly discharged to the bottom of the casting disc, resulting in water accumulation. Since the casting environment temperature is high, the productive accumulated water at the bottom of the casting disc is easy to evaporate, causing waste of water resources. At the same time, when the main valve of the circulating water of the casting disc is opened instantaneously, the water discharge volume of each drain hole of the water tank is large, resulting in water accumulation remaining in the disc and even in the steel mold, causing the high-temperature anode copper to come into contact with liquid water and explode, posing a great potential safety hazard. Summary of the Utility Model

[0019] Embodiment
[0020] As Figures 1-3 shown, in this embodiment, a copper smelting casting mold cooling water return device is mainly disclosed, which includes a casting disc 1. A water tank 2 is provided on the casting disc 1. A mold 3 is placed in the water tank 2. A water collecting tank 4 is provided below the casting disc 1. A diversion pipe 5 is connected between the water collecting tank 4 and the water tank 2. The water collecting tank 4 is connected to a cold water tank through a drain pipe 6. The cold water tank is connected to the water tank 2 through a return pipe 7. A protective cover 8 is provided on the water tank 2. A placement hole 80 matching the outer contour of the mold 3 is opened on the protective cover 8. The height of the mold 3 exceeds the protective cover 8. It should be noted that by setting the diversion pipe 5 to connect the water collecting tank 2 and the water collecting tank 4, the cooling water exchanged heat with the mold 3 is uniformly collected, and then discharged into the cold water tank through the drain pipe 6 for further cooling, and then returned to the water tank 2 through the return pipe 7, ensuring that the mold 3 is fully cooled, improving the stability of casting, realizing the recycling of cooling water, and avoiding the generation of productive water accumulation at the bottom of the casting disc 1 and the waste of water resources. The setting of the protective cover 8 effectively isolates the direct contact between the high-temperature anode copper and the cooling water, avoids the generation of steam explosion, further improves the safety of the device, and at the same time can reduce the evaporation of the cooling water, ensuring that the cooling water is not interfered or polluted by the outside.
