The end of the cylinder rod 18 is connected to a lifting force arm 17. A shaft seat 14 is assembled at the bottom of the lifting force arm 17. A cross bar 22 is installed through the middle of the shaft seat 14. The shaft seat 14 and the lifting force arm 17 are connected by the cross bar 22. A lower gasket 23 is installed at the bottom of the shaft seat 14. A middle cross plate 16 is installed on the surface of the lifting force arm 17. Side plates 15 are assembled on two layers of the middle cross plate 16. An upper support 1 is installed at the top of the frame 26. A motor 8 is assembled on one side of the upper support 1. Multiple conveying rollers 2 are assembled in the middle of the upper support 1. A lower clip 25 is installed on the middle surface of the frame 26. A foot pad 27 is assembled at the bottom of the frame 26. The foot pad 27 is connected to the frame 26 through a screw 28. A nut 29 is installed on the surface of the screw 28.

[0023] During operation, in the current prior art, the melting and casting feeding device on the market usually consists of a frame 26, a motor 8, conveying rollers 2, a lifting force arm 17, and a cylinder 19. The motor 8 drives the conveying rollers 2 to rotate, and the raw materials are sent into the interior of the electric furnace from the surface of the conveyor belt. However, when the raw materials enter the interior of the electric furnace, some large metal waste materials are prone to blockage during transportation, which will cause a large load on the device. Therefore, in view of the above problems, a melting and casting device for aluminum alloy sacrificial anodes is proposed. During the melting and casting feeding operation, the cylinder 19 at the bottom is used for operation. The cylinder rod 18 at the end expands and contracts, driving the connected lifting force arm 17 at the end to perform repeated lifting operations, and then driving the middle cross plate 16 installed on the surface of the lifting force arm 17 to move, completing the dumping treatment of large metal waste materials.

[0024] Furthermore, one side of the frame 26 is equipped with a front panel 4, and a pad 7 is installed at the bottom of the front panel 4. The pad 7 is connected to the front panel 4 through a gusset 5, and a fixing plate 6 is installed below the pad 7. An inner support platform 24 is installed at the bottom of one side of the frame 26, and a slide rail 11 is installed on the surface of the inner support platform 24. A slider 10 is installed on the surface of the slide rail 11, and a movable pad 13 is installed above the slider 10.

An adapter plate 36 is installed at the bottom of the middle of the inner support platform 24, and the inner side of the adapter plate 36 is equipped with a No. 2 cylinder 37.

[0025] During operation, when conveying metal raw materials, the metal raw materials are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt, and the motor 8 of the base plate 3 is operated to drive the conveying roller 2 to select and feed the metal raw materials into the surface of the base plate 3. The No. 2 cylinder 37 is operated to drive the upper limit seat 12 to move, and the lateral position adjustment of the base plate 3 is completed. The two sets of wheels 35 below are rotated, and the transmission belt 32 will rotate synchronously, thereby driving the track slider 33 on the surface of the transmission belt 32 to adjust the position. When the track slider 33 moves, it will drive the upper movable pad 13 to move laterally, thereby completing the overall aluminum alloy casting operation.

[0026] Working principle: In the current existing technology, the melting and casting feeding device on the market usually consists of a frame 26, a motor 8, conveying rollers 2, a lifting arm 17, and a cylinder 19. The motor 8 drives the conveying rollers 2 to rotate, and the raw materials are fed into the interior of the electric furnace through the surface of the conveyor belt. However, when the raw materials enter the interior of the electric furnace, some large metal waste materials are likely to cause blockage during transportation, which will impose a relatively large load on the device. Therefore, in view of the above problems, a melting and casting device for aluminum alloy sacrificial anodes is proposed. During the melting and casting feeding operation, the cylinder 19 at the bottom is used for operation, and the cylinder rod 18 at the end expands and contracts to drive the lifting arm 17 connected to the end to perform repeated lifting operations. Furthermore, it drives the middle cross plate 16 installed on the surface of the lifting arm 17 to move, completing the dumping treatment of large metal waste materials. When transporting metal raw materials, the metal raw materials are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt, and the motor 8 on the bottom plate 3 is used for operation to drive the conveying rollers 2 to rotate, feeding the metal raw materials onto the surface of the bottom plate 3. Through the operation of the second cylinder 37, the upper limit seat 12 is driven to move, completing the lateral position adjustment of the bottom plate 3. Through the rotation of the two groups of lower runners 35, the conveyor belt 32 will rotate synchronously, and then drive the track slider 33 on the surface of the conveyor belt 32 to adjust its position. When the track slider 33 moves, it will drive the movable cushion plate 13 above to move horizontally, thus completing the overall aluminum alloy melting and casting operation.
