[0002] In the casting processing industry, the ladle is a key piece of equipment, and its performance is directly related to the quality and production efficiency of the castings. However, traditional ladles often neglect the importance of the lubrication mechanism in their design, resulting in many problems during actual operation. First of all, the lack of an effective lubrication mechanism causes the mechanical components of the ladle to wear rapidly under long-term and high-intensity operation. Especially in high-temperature and high-load working environments, the wear problem of the friction pair is particularly prominent. This not only reduces the service life of the equipment but also increases the maintenance cost and downtime.

To sum up, the utility model has the advantages of simple structure, reliable operation, and low cost input, and has high practical value and promotion value in the technical field of casting machines.

[0004] However, in actual use, the above structure lacks a lubrication mechanism. For a ladle without a lubrication mechanism, during long-term and high-intensity operation, the friction between key components such as the swing arm assembly and the ladle cup will increase significantly. This will not only cause rapid wear of the mechanical components, shorten the service life of the equipment, but also increase the maintenance cost and downtime of the enterprise.

Detailed Embodiment

[0027] To further understand the features, technical means, specific purposes, and functions achieved by the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] See Figures 1-3 As shown, a ladle feeder for casting processing includes a bottom plate 1, a bearing mounting seat 2 provided on the bottom plate 1, a rotating block 3 rotatably provided on the bearing mounting seat 2, a sliding seat 4 slidably provided in the vertical direction on the rotating block 3, a first linear actuator 41 for driving the sliding seat 4 to slide in the vertical direction, a ladle feeding mechanism 5 provided on the sliding seat 4 for pouring the workpiece, and a self-lubricating mechanism 6 provided on the rotating block 3 for self-lubricating the sliding seat 4 moving in the vertical direction. The self-lubricating mechanism 6 includes a first oil spray pipe 61 and an oil storage tank 62 for supplying oil to the first oil spray pipe 61, and a contact mechanism 7 for performing contact oil spray lubrication treatment on the sliding seat 4 when contacting the sliding seat 4. A main gear 31 is coaxially and fixedly installed on the rotating block 3, a driven gear 11 meshing with the main gear 31 is provided on the bottom plate 1, and a second rotating actuator 12 for driving the driven gear 11 to rotate is provided on the bottom plate 1. When the second rotating actuator 12 is started, it can drive the driven gear 11 to rotate, and then can perform a rotational movement on the engaged main gear 31 and rotating block 3, and can perform rotational adjustment of the position of the ladle feeding mechanism 5 provided on the rotating block 3. A lead screw 411 is connected to the first linear actuator 41 through a coupling, and the sliding seat 4 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 411. A through groove 13 is formed on the rotating block 3, and the through groove 13 is slidably engaged with the sliding seat 4 in the vertical direction to limit the stable sliding of the sliding seat 4 in the vertical direction.

[0029] When it is necessary to end the work of the ladle feeding mechanism 5, the first linear actuator 41 drives the lead screw 411 to rotate. When the lead screw 411 rotates, it can drive the sliding seat 4 to stably slide in the vertical direction along the through groove 13 formed on the rotating block 3 until the sliding seat 4 rises to a position close to the oil storage tank 62. During this process, the lubricating oil inside the oil storage tank 62 can pass through the first oil spray pipe 61 to spray lubricating oil on the sliding seat 4 moving below the oil storage tank 62, thereby achieving automatic contact lubrication of the sliding seat 4, improving the service life of the sliding seat 4, and reducing the contact wear between the sliding seat 4 and the ladle feeding mechanism 5.

[0030] See Figures 3-5As shown, the contact mechanism 7 includes a mounting plate 71, a piston cylinder 72, and an oil inlet pipe 73. The mounting plate 71 is arranged on the rotating block 3 and above the sliding seat 4. The piston cylinder 72 is arranged on the mounting plate 71 and above the sliding seat 4. The oil inlet pipe 73 is arranged at the oil inlet of the piston cylinder 72. The oil inlet of the oil inlet pipe 73 is connected to the oil outlet of the oil storage tank 62. One-way valves for controlling the entry and discharge of lubricating oil are arranged in both the oil inlet pipe 73 and the spray pipe.

[0031] When it is necessary to automatically spray lubricating oil on the sliding seat 4 rising in the vertical direction, under the rotational force of the lead screw 411, the sliding seat 4 slides vertically until it contacts the piston cylinder 72. When contacting the piston cylinder 72, the one-way valve in the oil inlet pipe 73 closes and the one-way valve in the spray pipe opens. Then, it drives the lubricating oil replenished in the oil storage tank 62 through the oil inlet pipe 73 in the piston cylinder 72 to be discharged through the spray pipe. It can drive the piston cylinder 72 to spray the lubricating oil stored inside through the spray pipe onto the contacting sliding seat 4 for an automatic spraying effect, achieving the effect of automatically lubricating the sliding seat 4 when the sliding seat 4 contacts the piston cylinder 72, improving the service life of the sliding seat 4, and reducing the contact wear between the sliding seat 4 and the ladling mechanism 5.

[0032] See Figures 5-7 As shown, the contact mechanism 7 further includes a contact rod 74 and a sliding piece 75. The contact rod 74 is slidably arranged vertically in the piston cylinder 72. The sliding piece 75 is slidably arranged vertically in the piston cylinder 72 and fixedly connected to the contact rod 74.

[0033] When the sliding seat 4 moves upward vertically through the lead screw 411, it can drive the sliding seat 4 to contact the contact rod 74 slidably arranged in the piston cylinder 72. When the sliding seat 4 contacts the contact rod 74, it can drive the contact rod 74 and the sliding piece 75 fixedly connected thereto to slide upward vertically along the inner wall of the piston cylinder 72. The sliding piece 75 is used to divide the inside of the piston cylinder 72 into two negative pressure chambers for storing and discharging lubricating oil. This enables the lubricating oil in the piston cylinder 72 to be sprayed out through the spray pipe when the contact rod 74 and the sliding piece 75 move upward in the piston cylinder 72. When the sliding seat 4 does not contact the contact rod 74, the piston cylinder 72 stops spraying lubricant on the sliding seat 4, achieving the effect that the sliding seat 4 can only be lubricated when it contacts the contact rod 74, and when the sliding seat 4 does not contact the contact rod 74, the piston cylinder 72 does not spray oil, reducing waste of lubricating oil.

[0034] See Figure 7 As shown, the contact mechanism 7 further includes a return spring 76 and a second spray pipe 77. The return spring 76 is arranged in the piston cylinder 72 and fixedly connected to the end of the sliding piece 75. The second spray pipe 77 is arranged at the oil outlet of the piston cylinder 72 and extends into the rotating block 3.

[0035] When the contact rod 74 and the sliding piece 75 slide vertically inside the piston cylinder 72, the return spring 76 can be compressed at this time, and the one-way valve in the oil inlet pipe 73 closes while the one-way valve in the oil spray pipe opens. At this time, the second oil spray pipe can spray onto the lead screw 411, so as to lubricate the threaded connection between the sliding seat 4 and the lead screw 411. When the sliding seat 4 does not contact the contact rod 74, the compressed return spring 76 is released, causing the return spring 76 to position the sliding disc and the contact rod 74. During this process, the one-way valve in the oil inlet pipe 73 opens while the one-way valve in the oil spray pipe closes until the lubricating oil inside the oil storage tank 62 compensates into the piston cylinder 72 through the oil inlet pipe 73, achieving the effect of automatic replenishment and spraying of the lubricating oil in the piston cylinder 72.

[0036] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the ladle feeder for casting processing further includes a recovery mechanism 8 for collecting the excess lubricating oil after spraying; the recovery mechanism 8 includes a recovery box 81 and a recovery pipe 82; the recovery box 81 is arranged inside the rotating block 3; the recovery pipe 82 is arranged on the recovery box 81 and is connected to the oil inlet of the oil storage tank 62.

[0037] When the sliding seat 4 does not contact the contact rod 74 and after the spraying operation is completed, the excess lubricating oil can drip into the recovery box 81. The setting of the recovery box 81 can be used to recover the excess lubricating oil. After recovery, the recovery pipe 82 connected to the oil inlet of the oil storage tank 62 is arranged on the recovery box 81. When the contact rod 74 and the sliding piece 75 move downward under the action of the return spring 76, at this time, the sliding piece 75 forms a negative pressure chamber in the piston cylinder 72 to supplement the lubricating oil in the oil storage tank 62 into the piston cylinder 72, and during this process, it can drive the recovery pipe 82 arranged on the recovery box 81 to replenish the lubricating oil collected in the recovery box 81 back into the oil storage tank 62.

[0038] See Figures 2-6 As shown, the ladle feeding mechanism 5 includes a third rotation driver 51, a rotating rod 52, a ladle block 53, and a threaded rod 54; the third rotation driver 51 is arranged on the sliding seat 4; the rotating rod 52 is rotatably arranged on the sliding seat 4 and is connected to the output end of the third rotation driver 51 through a coupling; the ladle block 53 is arranged on the rotating rod 52 and is coaxially fixed with the rotating rod 52; the threaded rod 54 is threadedly connected to the rotating rod 52, and the threaded rod 54 is used to quickly install the ladle block 53 on the sliding seat 4.

[0039] When pouring work needs to be carried out on the workpiece, first, the third rotation driver 51 is started, which in turn drives the connected rotating rod 52 to rotate. When the rotating rod 52 rotates, the pouring effect of the ladle block 53 fixed coaxially can be achieved. When the ladle block 53 needs to be quickly installed and disassembled, only by rotating the threaded rod 54 out of the outside of the sliding seat 4, the ladle block 53 can be installed, disassembled and installed, which is convenient for replacing and repairing the ladle block 53, achieving the automatic pouring effect of the ladle block 53, and the ladle block 53 can be quickly installed and disassembled through the threaded rod 54.

[0040] The above embodiments only express one or several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the appended claims.
