Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum ingot casting machines, in particular to a direction-variable aluminum ingot continuous casting machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, when the electrolytic aluminum production workshop produces aluminum ingots, the molten aluminum flows into the public chute through the mixing furnace, and then is cast into aluminum ingots by a horizontal casting machine. The high-temperature aluminum ingots are transported to the cooling conveyor through a ring-shaped ingot receiving device for direct water cooling. The cooled aluminum ingots are arranged by a whole row of conveyors, and then the cooled aluminum ingots are stacked into a stack on the finished product conveyor by a stacking robot. After online metering, automatic packaging, laser marking and other actions, the aluminum ingots are transported to the yard by forklifts and other means.

[0003] For example, the patent document with the authorization announcement number CN213496375U discloses an aluminum ingot casting machine, which includes an automatic aluminum liquid flow regulating device, an aluminum liquid distribution system, a robot slag breaker, a horizontal casting machine, an aluminum ingot marking machine, a disc ingot conveyor, an electric chain ingot supporting device, a cooling conveyor, an aluminum ingot turning device, a column conveyor, a stacking robot, a finished product conveyor, an automatic bundling machine, an online weighing device, an aluminum ingot stack laser marking machine, an incoming plate chain and an electrical control system, wherein the electrical control system is respectively communicated with the automatic aluminum liquid flow regulating device, the aluminum liquid distribution system, the robot slag breaker, the horizontal casting machine, the aluminum ingot marking machine, the disc ingot conveyor, the electric chain ingot supporting device, the cooling conveyor, the aluminum ingot turning device, the column conveyor, the stacking robot, the finished product conveyor, the automatic bundling machine, the online weighing device, the aluminum ingot stack laser marking machine and the incoming chain plate.

[0004] From the above, it can be seen that the horizontal casting machine, cooling conveyor and whole column conveyor of the above-mentioned casting machine are arranged in a straight line, and extend backward from the mixing furnace along the conveying direction of the aluminum ingots, which requires a longer space. For a shorter workshop that has been built, it is very easy for the above-mentioned casting machine to be unusable due to insufficient length of the workshop. If you want to use the above-mentioned casting machine in a workshop with limited length, you need to shorten the length of the various components of the above-mentioned casting machine, which greatly reduces the output of aluminum ingots. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a direction-variable aluminum ingot continuous casting machine, which solves the technical problem in the prior art that the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine occupies a long area and has poor applicability.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the variable direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A variable-direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine includes a horizontal casting machine, a cooling conveyor, a column conveyor, a stacking robot, and a finished product conveyor, which are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the aluminum ingots. The machine also includes:

[0008] A steering device is provided between the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor to change the conveying direction of the aluminum ingots, thereby realizing forward or reverse conveying of the aluminum ingots between the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor.

[0009] The beneficial effect of the variable-direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention is: by arranging a steering device between the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor, and utilizing the steering device as a transition, while ensuring that the aluminum ingots can enter the cooling conveyor in the correct direction and posture, the transportation direction of the aluminum ingots can be changed, so that the transportation directions of the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor are the same or opposite, thereby making it possible to design the layout of the production line more flexibly, reducing the use of straight sections in the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine, realizing the rational use of space resources, and making the connection between various equipment more compact and efficient.

[0010] Through the above-mentioned settings, the utility model completes the improvement and upgrade of the existing aluminum ingot continuous casting machine, so that the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine can not only make the aluminum ingot conveyor adapt to the aluminum ingot production workshop with a sufficiently long length, but also make the aluminum ingot conveyor adapt to the aluminum ingot production workshop with insufficient length, effectively solving the technical problem of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine in the prior art that occupies a long length and has poor applicability.

[0011] Furthermore, the steering device is a roller conveyor.

[0012] Furthermore, the steering device is a linear conveyor.

[0013] Furthermore, the steering device is a chain plate curved conveying device.

[0014] Furthermore, the width of the horizontal casting machine is greater than the width of the cooling conveyor.

[0015] Furthermore, the conveying directions of the entire train conveyor and the finished product conveyor are the same, opposite, or perpendicular to each other. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described below are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that the main idea of ​​the variable-direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the utility model is: by connecting the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor through a steering device, the steering device can not only serve as a transition section for conveying aluminum ingots between the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor, but also realize the change of the conveying direction of aluminum ingots between the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor, so that when the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine is actually installed and used, the layout of the production line can be more flexibly designed according to the length of the aluminum ingot production workshop, and the rational use of space resources can be realized, thereby effectively solving the technical problem of the long length of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine in the prior art, which leads to its poor applicability.

[0026] After introducing the basic principles of the present invention, various non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The numbers of any elements in the drawings are for illustration only and not for limitation, and any names are for distinction only and do not have any limiting meaning.

[0027] At present, the molten aluminum (about 750℃) produced in the electrolytic aluminum production workshop flows into the public chute through the mixing furnace, and then is cast into aluminum ingots (about 350℃) by a horizontal casting machine. The high-temperature aluminum ingots are transported to the cooling conveyor through a ring-shaped ingot receiving device for direct water cooling. The cooled aluminum ingots (about 60℃) are arranged by a whole column conveyor, and then the arranged aluminum ingots are stacked on the finished product conveyor by a stacking robot. After online metering, automatic packaging, laser marking and other actions, the aluminum ingots are transported to the yard by forklifts and other means.

[0028] The existing production line of the continuous casting machine for aluminum ingots is designed as a straight line, extending backward from the mixing furnace. The aluminum ingots are transported to the left or right through the cold transport and the whole column through the ring ingot connection. The finished product conveyor is then moved to the left, right or back through the stacking robot. The length of the equipment from front to back is more than 90 meters.

[0029] For newly built workshops, the plant design can be based on the layout of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine. However, for existing workshops that are not long enough, the free placement characteristics of the stacking robot are currently used to change the direction of the finished product conveyor (turn 90 degrees or turn back and convey forward). This can shorten the overall length of the equipment, but due to the limitation of the workshop length, it still cannot meet the demand. At present, most companies' practice is to shorten the overall length of the production line by reducing output, shortening the length of horizontal casting machines, cooling conveyors, etc., or reducing the automation configuration of the equipment. Although it can ensure the use of aluminum ingot continuous casting machines, it greatly reduces the production efficiency of aluminum ingots.

[0030] The principle and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] Embodiment 1 of the variable direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention:

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the variable direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine includes a horizontal casting machine 1, a cooling conveyor 2, a whole row conveyor 3, a stacking robot 4 and a finished product conveyor 5 arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the aluminum ingot, wherein the horizontal casting machine 1 and the cooling conveyor 2 are arranged in parallel, and the conveying directions of the two are opposite, and the horizontal casting machine 1 and the cooling conveyor 2 are connected by a steering device.

[0033] Regarding the diverting device, the diverting device is a roller conveyor 6 , the conveying start end of which is connected to the conveying end end of the horizontal casting machine 1 , and the conveying end end is connected to the conveying start end of the cooling conveyor 2 .

[0034] It should be noted that the width of the horizontal casting machine 1 is greater than the width of the cooling conveyor 2, and the conveying direction of the entire conveyor 3 and the finished product conveyor 5 is the same ( Figure 1 ) or vice versa ( Figure 2 ) or any angle between the two.

[0035] The working principle of the variable-direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention is: after the high-temperature aluminum liquid is cast into aluminum ingots by the horizontal casting machine 1, it is transported from the horizontal casting machine 1 to the cooling conveyor 2 via the roller conveyor 6. The cooling conveyor 2 cools the aluminum ingots while transporting them, and then transports them to the whole column conveyor 3. Subsequently, the stacking robot 4 places the aluminum ingots transported to the conveying end of the whole column conveyor 3 on the finished product conveyor 5. Finally, the finished product conveyor 5 transports the stacked aluminum ingots out.

[0036] Embodiment 2 of the variable direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention:

[0037] The main difference between it and Example 1 is:

[0038] In Example 1, the steering device is a roller conveyor, and the conveying direction of the entire conveyor is the same as or opposite to that of the finished product conveyor.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the steering device is a chain plate curved conveyor device 7, which includes one or more bending sections connected end to end. The conveying direction of the entire conveyor is the same as that of the finished product conveyor ( Figure 3 ) or vice versa ( Figure 4 ) or perpendicular to each other ( Figure 5 ).

[0040] Embodiment 3 of the variable direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention:

[0041] The main difference between it and Example 1 is:

[0043] In this embodiment, the steering device is a linear conveyor.

[0044] Example 4 of the variable direction aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention:

[0045] The main difference between it and Example 1 is:

[0046] In Example 1, the conveying directions of the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor are opposite.

[0047] In this embodiment, the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor have the same conveying direction.

[0048] According to the above description of this specification, those skilled in the art may also understand that the terms used below, such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "width", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and other terms indicating orientation or positional relationships are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings of this specification. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the scheme of the utility model and simplifying the description, rather than explicitly or implicitly indicating that the devices or elements involved must have the specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms cannot be understood or interpreted as limitations on the scheme of the utility model.

[0049] In addition, in the description of this specification, “a plurality of” means at least two, for example, two, three or more, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
