Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are intended only to provide a more detailed description of the embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a magnetic field treatment device for casting a small pouring cup of aluminum alloy, comprising a base 1, an inner cover 2 and an outer cover 3 are fixed to the top of the base 1, the tops of the inner cover 2 and the outer cover 3 are commonly connected to an upper cover 6, the outer wall of the inner cover 2 is wrapped with a heat-insulating material 5, a coil 4 is wound around the side of the heat-insulating material 5 away from the inner cover 2, the coil 4 is located inside the outer cover 3, a heat dissipation component 20 for dissipating heat from the coil 4 is provided in the outer cover 3, the heat-insulating material 5 can be the heat-insulating cotton in the prior art, the heat-insulating material 5 is used to prevent the heat generated by the coil 4 from being transferred to the aluminum liquid in the pouring spoon, the coil 4 is connected to a pulsed magnetic field power supply, and a pulsed magnetic field is generated by the coil 4, the pulsed magnetic field treatment significantly refines the primary α-A1 phase grains of the ZL114A aluminum alloy and improves the mechanical properties, the optimal treatment parameter magnetic induction intensity is 35mT / hour, the tensile strength, elongation and hardness are increased by 20.14%, 54.39% and 12.72% respectively. After heat treatment, these properties are further enhanced, with tensile strength and elongation increasing by up to 37.89% and 150% respectively, and hardness increasing by up to 21.6%;

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the heat dissipation assembly 20 includes an air inlet fan 18, an air inlet is opened on the circumferential surface of the outer cover 3 near the top position, an air inlet pipe 8 is fixed on the circumferential surface of the outer cover 3 corresponding to the air inlet, and the bottom of the air inlet pipe 8 is connected to the air inlet cover 7, the air inlet fan 18 is fixed to the inner wall of the air inlet cover 7, and a cooling plate 9 is fixed at the corner of the side of the air inlet cover 7. The cooling plate 9 is used to cool the air flow entering the coil 4, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the coil 4, an L-shaped connecting ring 16 is fixed to the bottom of the upper cover 6, and a rotating ring 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the upper cover 6. An annular groove is opened on the top of the rotating ring 10, and the inner wall of the annular groove is rotatably connected to the L-shaped connecting ring 16. A circular groove 21 is opened at the bottom of the rotating ring 10, and a number of wind shields 11 are fixed on the inner wall of the circular groove 21. A brush 13 is fixed on the top of the inner wall of the circular groove 21, and the bristles of the brush 13 are in contact with the surface of the coil 4. A number of air outlets 15 are opened on the top of the base 1.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a filter 17 is fixed to the air inlet end of the air inlet cover 7. The filter 17 is a gauze mesh. The filter 17 is used to filter the airflow entering the air inlet cover 7 to make the airflow entering the air inlet cover 7 cleaner and tidier.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a bracket is fixed on the circumferential surface of the outer cover 3, and the side surface of the bracket is fixedly connected to the side surface of the air inlet cover 7. The bracket is used to connect and fix the outer cover 3 and the air inlet cover 7.

[0034] like Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the side of the inner wall of the circular groove 21 close to the inner cover 2 is a slope 12, and the slope 12 is used to guide the airflow flowing downward from the inner wall of the circular groove 21. Under the action of the slope 12, the airflow flows downward from the inner wall of the circular groove 21 and flows through the position of the coil 4, so that the airflow contacts the coil 4, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the coil 4.

[0035] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottoms of several windshields 11 are commonly connected to a circular ring 14, and the central axis of the circular ring 14 coincides with the central axis of the rotating ring 10. When the airflow flows downward from the rotating ring 10, it flows through the position of the circular ring 14. Under the separating effect of the circular ring 14, part of the airflow flows downward from the surface of the coil 4 to achieve direct heat dissipation at the coil 4, and part of the airflow flows downward from between the coil 4 and the outer cover 3 to increase the air fluidity at the coil 4, thereby achieving heat dissipation at the coil 4 again.

[0036] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the ring 14 is an inclined guide surface, which is used to guide the airflow passing through, so that the airflow flows to the position of the coil 4, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the coil 4.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcing rib is fixed to the bottom of the ring 14, and the reinforcing rib is fixed to the side of the brush 13 away from the coil 4. The reinforcing rib is used to improve the connection strength between the brush 13 and the ring 14 to prevent the brush 13 from deforming.

[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a V-shaped surface 19 is provided on the side of the brush 13. The V-shaped surface 19 is used to reduce the resistance of the brush 13 when it contacts the airflow during rotation, thereby making the rotation of the swivel 10 lighter and smoother.

[0039] Working principle: Place the pouring spoon filled with molten aluminum into the inner cover 2, connect the coil 4 to the pulse magnetic field power supply, start the pulse magnetic field power supply according to the electromagnetic parameters, so that the coil 4 generates a pulse magnetic field. The molten aluminum is treated with a pulse magnetic field without contacting the molten aluminum. During the treatment process, the output voltage keeps changing and the treatment lasts for 60 seconds. The pulse magnetic field can be transmitted to the atomic groups of the material in the form of magnetic potential energy without contact, intervening in the arrangement, coordination and migration of atoms, and affecting the nucleation, growth, grain boundary movement, precipitation phase morphology, etc. in the early stage of solid-liquid phase transition or solid-solid phase transition of the material. The pulse magnetic field treatment significantly refines the primary α-A1 phase grains of the aluminum alloy and improves the mechanical properties.

[0040] The coil 4 generates heat during operation. When the coil 4 is to be cooled, the air inlet fan 18 is started, and the outside air is filtered by the filter 17 and enters the air inlet cover 7 and flows through the cooling fins 9. After being cooled by the cooling fins 9, it flows to the swivel 10 through the air inlet pipe 8. The airflow blows to the multiple wind shields 11 on the swivel 10. Under the action of the wind shields 11, the swivel 10 rotates around the L-shaped connecting ring 16, and the airflow flows downward from the swivel 10, passes through the coil 4, and is discharged from the air outlet 15, thereby realizing the heat dissipation of the coil 4. At the same time, during the rotation of the swivel 10, the brush 13 is driven to rotate along the surface of the coil 4, and the dust attached to the surface of the coil 4 is brushed off by the bristles on the brush 13, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the coil 4 and preventing dust from affecting the heat dissipation of the coil 4, thereby further improving the heat dissipation capacity of the coil 4.

[0041] When the airflow flows downward from the rotating ring 10, it flows through the position of the circular ring 14. Under the separation effect of the circular ring 14 and the guidance effect of the inclined guide surface of the inner wall of the circular ring 14, part of the airflow flows downward along the surface of the coil 4, thereby achieving direct heat dissipation at the coil 4. Part of the airflow flows downward from between the coil 4 and the outer cover 3, thereby increasing the air flow at the coil 4 and further achieving heat dissipation at the coil 4.

[0042] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
