[0023] Hereinafter, the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be more thoroughly understood and the scope of the present disclosure can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0024] It should be noted that unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in this application should have the ordinary meanings understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. Embodiment

[0025] As Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a multi-purpose multi-branch connected aluminum launder, including: a tapping ramp 1, a connected main launder 2, several branch launders 3, a filter box 4, several plugs 5 and a launder side cover 7. The tapping ramp 1 is arranged on the connected main launder 2 to connect the connected main launder 2 with the smelting equipment 6. An aluminum non-sticking layer is attached inside the connected main launder 2, and the inside of the connected main launder 2 is U-shaped; several branch launders 3 are connected below the connected main launder 2. An aluminum non-sticking layer is attached inside the branch launders 3, and several branch launders 3 are arranged in parallel; the launder side cover 7 is movably arranged on the branch launder 3. A heat preservation layer is arranged inside the launder side cover 7, which can meet the heat preservation effect of long-distance transportation of molten aluminum in the workshop. When long-distance transportation is involved, the launder side cover 7 needs to be covered above the branch launder 3 to play a heat preservation role. If necessary, the connected main launder 2 can also be set; a filter box 4 is arranged on the branch launder 3. A filter plate 8 is detachably connected inside the filter box 4. When producing different specifications of products, the product filtration requirements can be directly met by replacing the filter plate 8. For molten aluminum that does not need to be filtered, the filter plate 8 can be directly removed for production, so as to solve the problem that in the prior art, production enterprises need to install and remove the filter box 4 to meet the filtration requirements of different products, increasing the production workload; several plugs 5 are detachably arranged at each intersection of the connected main launder 2 and the branch launder 3. The plugs 5 can control the flow direction of molten aluminum, so as to solve the existing production mode corresponding to the furnace well, which may result in the tapping amount of the smelting equipment exceeding the deep-well casting capacity. The excess molten aluminum can only be treated through the discharge emergency pit. Long-term production of multiple smelting equipment 6 in the production line will cause a large amount of waste of molten aluminum and other problems; a pull ring 51 is arranged on the side of the plug 5, which is convenient for removing the plug 5. The plug 5 is preferably made of refractory material.

[0026] Specifically, the inside of the connected main launder 2 is provided with a lowest point, which is generally arranged on the edge of the connected main launder 2. The tapping ramp 1 to the lowest point of the connected main launder 2 is set as a descending slope. The bottom of the plug 5 is a U-shaped with an inclination angle. The inclination angle of the plug 5 is the same as the descending slope inside the connected main launder 2. The plug 5 is closely attached to the branch launder 3 to ensure the flow direction of molten aluminum. The descending slope is preferably 3° to 5°.

[0027] During actual production, first select the casting deep well required for production according to the actual production situation and product filtration requirements, and place the plugs 5 reasonably. Combining with the plugs 5 can ensure that the molten aluminum flows to the designated branch launder 3. At the same time, according to the product filtration requirements, select different filter plates 8 for placement; for the later production capacity improvement where the output of the smelting equipment requires multiple casting deep wells or the molten aluminum of the smelting equipment 6 is greater than the deep-well casting capacity, in addition to setting the plugs 5 on the non-designated branch launders 3 along the way, the plugs 5 also need to be placed one by one at the downhill end of the connection between the selected branch launder 3 and the connected main launder 2. When the molten aluminum meets the first casting deep well, remove the plug 5 at the connection between the first branch launder 3 and the connected main launder 2 with a clip, and the molten aluminum flows to the second casting deep well, and so on.

[0028] When the liquid level of the aluminum liquid in the connected main flow channel 2 and the branch flow channels 3 is too high due to blockage during the production process, the plug 5 can be removed in time to ensure that the aluminum liquid flows to other branches. The enterprise can consider adding the side cover 7 of the flow channel as appropriate according to the length of the aluminum liquid transportation distance.

[0029] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claimed rights.
