AI Technical Summary
The utilization rate of inoculants in the existing flow-based fertilization methods is low, resulting in poor product performance and increased production costs, mainly because inoculants are prone to scattering and waste during the injection process.
A flow-based breeding tube is designed, using a combination of copper tube and a flat duckbill piece, tightened by a throat clamp, and a flat mouth and a transition section that gradually decreases to ensure that all the incubators enter the molten iron.
It improves the absorption rate of inoculant, improves product performance, reduces production costs, and simplifies the control process of inoculant.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of automotive casting pouring, and specifically relates to the design of a in-stream inoculation tube. Background Art
[0002] With the gradual development of the automotive industry, whether it is fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, there are strict requirements for the internal quality of castings, especially for the mechanical properties and metallographic structure of castings, which are clearly defined. The commonly used braking system of automobiles is mainly made of gray cast iron brake discs, and the commonly used special system of automobiles is mainly made of nodular cast iron steering knuckles. Whether it is gray cast iron or nodular cast iron, they all belong to inoculated cast iron. Therefore, during the pouring of molten iron, good in-process inoculation is required to meet the product performance conditions.
[0003] Currently, the in-process inoculation methods used include bottom inoculation in ladles, inverted ladle inoculation, and in-stream inoculation. The inoculation method that has the best effect on products is in-stream inoculation. However, in current production, the importance of in-stream inoculation is not enough. Under the existing process, in-stream inoculation only uses a pipeline to spray inoculants into the molten iron by means of pneumatic conveying. Since the particle size of the inoculants is 0.2 - 0.7 mm, when spraying the inoculants, the small-sized inoculants will be affected by thermal expansion and the flow rate of the molten iron, resulting in the actual amount of inoculants entering the molten iron, that is, the actual effective amount of inoculants is less than the theoretical calculation. Most of the inoculants will be wasted during the pouring process. The inoculants are sprayed in a scattered form when ejected by compressed air. Since there is a certain distance between the end of the barrel and the molten iron flow, the inoculants are sprayed outside the molten iron, resulting in poor product performance and increased production costs for the company.
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, a new in-stream inoculation tube needs to be designed. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an in-stream inoculation tube, so that all the added amount of inoculants can enter the molten iron, in order to solve problems such as poor quality of poured products and waste of costs.
[0006] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0007] The utility model relates to the design of an in-stream inoculation tube, including: a copper tube and a flat duckbill part. One side of the copper tube is connected to one end of the tube body of the flat duckbill part. The flat duckbill part consists of a flat opening, a tube body that cooperates with the copper tube, and a hose clamp lock. Among them, there is a flat opening with a width of 4 mm and a length of 25 mm.
[0008] Preferably, one side of the copper tube is connected to one end of the tube body of the flat duckbill part, and the connection part is tightly fastened through the hose clamp lock in cooperation with a 1.5 - mm groove opened on the tube body of the flat duckbill part.
[0009] Preferably, a gradually decreasing transition section is provided at the middle position of the tube body of the flat duckbill part, and its flat opening needs to be aligned with the position of the molten iron flow.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0011] 1. By installing a flat duckbill part at the end of the copper tube, the present utility model has an effect of gathering the inoculant flowing with the molten iron, enabling all the inoculant to enter the molten iron and realizing the controllability of product performance.
[0012] 2. The present utility model adopts a flat duckbill structure, which is light in weight, convenient to install and low in cost, and is more convenient for controlling the inoculant compared with directly making a flat opening at the end of the tube.
[0013] 3. The present utility model reduces the damage of the original inoculation copper tube and lowers the cost of low consumption. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] In order to describe in detail the structural features, technical solutions and functional characteristics of the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments:
[0021] Refer to Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the design of a kind of in-stream inoculation tube of the utility model includes: a copper tube and a flat duckbill part. One side of the copper tube is connected to one end of the tube body of the flat duckbill part. The flat duckbill part consists of a tube body that cooperates with the copper tube, a flat opening and a hose clamp lock. There is a flat opening with a width of 4 mm and a length of 25 mm.
[0022] Among them, one side of the copper tube is connected to one end of the tube body of the flat duckbill part. The connection part is fastened in cooperation with a 1.5-mm groove opened on the tube body of the flat duckbill part through the hose clamp lock. The tube body can adjust the extended length according to the working requirements and be fastened after adjustment, which is relatively convenient for installation.
[0023] Among them, a gradually decreasing transition section is arranged at the middle position of the tube body of the flat duckbill part to reduce the divergence angle. Its flat opening needs to be aligned with the position of the molten iron flow. The flat opening is aligned with the molten iron flow, reducing the overflow of the inoculant to both sides, improving the absorption rate of the inoculant, and making it more convenient to control the inoculant.
[0024] The working process of the device of the utility model:
[0025] The inoculant enters the copper tube in the form of a scattered liquid ejected by compressed air, and then passes through the tube body of the flat duckbill part fastened by the hose clamp lock. Then the inoculant enters the gradually decreasing transition section to the flat opening, and its flat opening is aligned with the position of the molten iron, so that the inoculant is sprayed into the molten iron.
[0026] It should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments of the utility model are only examples given in detail to illustrate the utility model, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, various changes or modifications can be made on the basis of the above description.
