[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of aluminum alloy melting, and specifically relates to an aluminum alloy melting and refining device. Background Technique

[0002] Aluminum alloy is one of the most widely used non-ferrous metal structural materials in industry. It has been widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobiles, machinery manufacturing, ships and chemical industries. With the rapid development of the industrial economy, the demand for aluminum alloy welded structural parts is increasing day by day, which has also deepened the research on the weldability of aluminum alloys. At present, aluminum alloy is the most used alloy. Aluminum alloy has a low density, but a relatively high strength, close to or exceeding high-quality steel, good plasticity, can be processed into various profiles, has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in industry. Its usage is second only to steel. Some aluminum alloys can obtain good mechanical properties, physical properties and corrosion resistance through heat treatment.

[0003] When processing with the existing melting and casting device, it is necessary to add a refining agent, and the refining agent is granular, and there is a blockage situation during the input process. The blockage will not be conducive to the refining effect, and after adding the refining agent, it is necessary to ensure that the refining agent can be repeatedly mixed with the aluminum alloy melt. In view of this, the present utility model is specifically proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an aluminum alloy melting and refining device.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is:

[0006] An aluminum alloy melting and refining device, including a refining tank, a refining agent crushing box, a main stirring rod and an auxiliary stirring rod. It is characterized in that a refining agent crushing box is fixedly installed at the top end of the refining tank through a bracket. Crushing rollers for crushing the refining agent are symmetrically arranged in the refining agent crushing box. A hopper is arranged below the two crushing rollers. A screening plate is arranged below the hopper. A sieve mesh is arranged in the middle of the screening plate. The screening plate and the hopper are connected through a telescopic sleeve. Vibration motors are fixed on both sides of the upper end of the screening plate. The screening plate and the side wall of the refining agent crushing box are connected through a first spring and a connecting chain. An outlet plate is arranged below the sieve mesh. A second spring is installed between the outlet plate and the refining agent crushing box. An outlet pipe is arranged below one side of the outlet plate. The bottom of the outlet pipe penetrates into the refining tank. A first electromagnetic control valve is arranged in the middle of the outlet pipe. A vibration motor is also arranged at the upper end of the outlet plate;

[0007] In the middle of the refining tank, a main stirring rod is installed through a sealed bearing. At the top of the main stirring rod, an inert gas delivery pipe is connected through a rotary joint. At the upper end of the refining tank, four auxiliary stirring rods are also installed through sealed bearings. The lower ends of the four auxiliary stirring rods are rotationally connected to an internal support block through bearings. A plurality of stirring blades are staggered and distributed on the outside of each auxiliary stirring rod.

[0008] Optionally, a circular rail for installing a gear ring is fixed at the upper end of the refining tank. A plurality of balls for reducing friction are provided between the circular rail and the gear ring. The inner wall of the gear ring is provided with internal teeth meshing with a motor-driven gear. The driving gear meshes with a driven gear, and the driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the upper end of the main stirring rod.

[0009] Optionally, external teeth meshing with four linkage gears are equally spaced on the outside of the gear ring. The four linkage gears are respectively sleeved on the outside of the tops of the four auxiliary stirring rods.

[0010] Optionally, a delivery cavity communicating with the inert gas delivery pipe is provided inside the main stirring rod, and the delivery cavity is internally communicated with a plurality of delivery holes outside the lower end of the main stirring rod. A second electromagnetic control valve is installed in the middle of the inert gas delivery pipe, and the other end of the second electromagnetic control valve is communicated with a delivery pump through a pipeline. The negative pressure end of the delivery pump is communicated with the air outlet end of the inert gas tank through a pipeline, and the inert gas tank is installed outside the refining tank through a fixed frame.

[0011] Optionally, a third electromagnetic control valve and a fourth electromagnetic control valve are respectively provided on one side of the refining tank. The third electromagnetic control valve is communicated with the inside of the refining tank through a raw material pipe. The fourth electromagnetic control valve is controlled to be communicated with the inside of the refining tank through a pipeline.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art. Of course, any product implementing the utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all the advantages described below at the same time:

And in order to help the aluminum alloy melt and the refining agent to be fully mixed, the device will use the motor to drive the gear ring to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear and the four linkage gears to rotate. At this time, the main stirring rod and the four auxiliary stirring rods inside the device will rotate synchronously, so as to fully mix the aluminum alloy melt and the refining agent. And in order to improve the refining effect, during the stirring process, the main stirring rod will transport inert gas through the conveying cavity inside it, such as transporting nitrogen. That is, the nitrogen blown into the aluminum alloy melt is chopped by the main stirring rod or the auxiliary stirring rod to form a large number of dispersed bubbles, so that the aluminum alloy liquid and nitrogen are in full contact in the treatment tank. According to the principle of air pressure difference and surface adsorption, the bubbles absorb hydrogen in the melt and adsorb oxidation slag (the large ones in a collision manner and the small ones in a radial interception manner) in the melt and then rise to the surface of the melt to form dross. The dross will be discharged through the third electromagnetic control valve, while the aluminum alloy melt is arranged below the dross and flows to the fifth electromagnetic control valve to achieve the purpose of purifying the aluminum alloy liquid.

Specific embodiments

[0028] Now, the present utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an aluminum alloy melting and refining device, including a refining tank 1, a refining agent crushing box 3, a main stirring rod 15 and an auxiliary stirring rod 17. The top of the refining tank 1 is fixedly installed with a refining agent crushing box 3 through a bracket 2. Symmetrically arranged in the refining agent crushing box 3 are crushing rollers 4 for crushing the refining agent. Below the two crushing rollers 4 is a hopper 5. Below the hopper 5 is a screening plate 6. In the middle of the screening plate 6 is a sieve mesh 8. The screening plate 6 and the hopper 5 are connected through a telescopic sleeve 7. On both sides of the upper end of the screening plate 6 are fixedly installed vibration motors. The screening plate 6 and the side wall of the refining agent crushing box 3 are connected through a first spring 9 and a connecting chain 10. Below the sieve mesh 8 is a discharge plate 11. Between the discharge plate 11 and the refining agent crushing box 3 is installed a second spring 12. Below one side of the discharge plate 11 is a discharge pipe 13. The bottom of the discharge pipe 13 penetrates to the inside of the refining tank 1. In the middle of the discharge pipe 13 is a first electromagnetic control valve 14. On the upper end of the discharge plate 11 is also installed a vibration motor;

[0030] In the middle of the refining tank 1, a main stirring rod 15 is installed through a sealed bearing. At the top of the main stirring rod 15, an inert gas delivery pipe 16 is connected through a rotary joint. At the upper end of the refining tank, four auxiliary stirring rods 17 are also installed through sealed bearings. The lower ends of the four auxiliary stirring rods 17 are rotatably connected to the built-in support block 18 through bearings. A plurality of stirring blades 19 are staggered and distributed on the outside of each auxiliary stirring rod 17. Considering that when using the existing melting and casting device for processing, a refining agent needs to be added, and the refining agent is granular, there is a situation of blockage during the input process. The blockage will be detrimental to the refining effect, and there is also the problem that after adding the refining agent, it is necessary to ensure that the refining agent can be repeatedly mixed with the aluminum alloy melt. The utility model fully crushes the refining agent input into the refining tank 1 through the cooperation of the refining agent crushing box 3, the screening plate 6 and the vibration motor, thereby avoiding the situation that when the refining agent enters the refining tank 1 in a caked state, it is not only easy to cause pipeline blockage, but also affects the full mixing of the refining agent and the aluminum alloy melt. And in order to help the aluminum alloy melt and the refining agent to be fully mixed, the device will drive the driven gear 24 and the four linkage gears 25 to rotate by driving the gear ring 20 to rotate by the motor. At this time, the main stirring rod 15 and the four auxiliary stirring rods 17 inside the device will rotate synchronously, so as to fully mix the aluminum alloy melt and the refining agent. And in order to improve the refining effect, during the stirring process of the main stirring rod 15, inert gas, such as nitrogen, will be transported through the transport cavity 26 inside it, that is, the nitrogen blown into the aluminum alloy melt is chopped by the main stirring rod 15 or the auxiliary stirring rod 17 to form a large number of dispersed bubbles, so that the aluminum alloy liquid and nitrogen are in full contact in the treatment pool. According to the air pressure difference and the surface adsorption principle, the bubbles absorb hydrogen in the melt and adsorb oxidation slag (the large ones in a collision manner and the small ones in a radial interception manner) in the melt and then rise to the surface of the melt to form dross. The dross will be discharged through the third electromagnetic control valve 31, while the aluminum alloy melt is arranged to flow to the fifth electromagnetic control valve 33 under the dross to achieve the purpose of purifying the aluminum alloy liquid.

The negative pressure end of the conveying pump 28 is communicated with the air outlet end of an inert gas tank 29 through a pipeline, and the inert gas tank 29 is installed outside the refining tank 1 through a fixing frame 30. By setting the second electromagnetic control valve 27, the entry and the entry amount of the inert gas are controlled.

[0034] Among them, a third electromagnetic control valve 31 and a fourth electromagnetic control valve 32 are respectively arranged on one side of the refining tank 1.
