Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum ingot casting equipment, in particular to an aluminum ingot continuous casting machine. Background Art

[0002] Aluminum ingot casting refers to the process of melting and casting aluminum ingots to produce aluminum products of various shapes and specifications. Currently, during aluminum ingot production, molten aluminum is first cast into ingots in a horizontal casting machine. A ring-shaped ingot receiving device then transports the hot ingots to a cooling conveyor for direct water cooling. The ingots are then arranged on a conveyor train. Finally, a stacking robot stacks the cooled ingots onto a finished product conveyor. After online metering, automatic packaging, and laser marking, they are transported to the storage yard by forklifts or other means.

[0003] For example, the patent document with authorization announcement number CN219484140U discloses a 32th aluminum ingot continuous casting machine, which includes a casting unit, a slag removal robot and a three-axis synchronous circulation chain at both ends of the casting unit, a cooling conveyor at the output end of the cooling conveyor, a straightening machine at the output end of the straightening machine, a stacking robot at the output end of the straightening machine, a finished product conveyor at the end of the straightening machine close to the stacking robot, an online weighing system at one end inside the finished product conveyor, an automatic baling machine on the finished product conveyor, and a trademark marking system between the online weighing system and the automatic baling machine. The casting can perform fully automatic slag removal, ingot casting, ring ingot connection, secondary cooling, straightening, stacking, online weighing, automatic bundling, laser marking and finished product transportation under high-speed continuous operation conditions, with a high degree of automation.

[0004] However, during actual use of the above-mentioned casting machine, the casting unit, cooling conveyor, aligner, palletizing robot and finished product conveyor and other equipment are all arranged in a straight line. The cooling conveyor and aligner are used to transport the aluminum ingots to the left or right through the ring ingot connection, and then the finished product machine is moved to the left or right or turned back through the palletizing robot. The above-mentioned casting machine as a whole needs to occupy a longer space and has high requirements on the length of the workshop. For a workshop with limited length, in order to ensure the normal use of the casting machine, the length of each component of the above-mentioned casting machine needs to be shortened, which greatly reduces the output of aluminum ingots. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides an aluminum ingot continuous casting machine to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine has high requirements on workshop length, resulting in poor applicability and low output in a workshop with limited length.

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

[0007] An aluminum ingot continuous casting machine, comprising:

[0008] A horizontal casting machine is connected to the public chute and is used to cast the molten aluminum liquid into aluminum ingots. A cooling conveyor, a column conveyor and a finished product conveyor are sequentially arranged at the end of the horizontal casting machine along the conveying direction of the aluminum ingots.

[0009] a ring-shaped ingot receiving device, which is arranged between the horizontal casting machine and the cooling conveyor, and is used to transport the aluminum ingot from the horizontal casting machine to the cooling conveyor;

[0010] a palletizing robot, which is arranged between the entire column conveyor and the finished product conveyor, and is used to convey the arranged aluminum ingots to the finished product conveyor and complete the palletizing work of the aluminum ingots;

[0011] Also includes:

[0012] A reversing mechanism is provided between the cooling conveyor and the row conveyor to change the conveying direction of the aluminum ingots between the cooling conveyor and the row conveyor.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention are as follows: by arranging a reversing mechanism between the cooling conveyor and the whole train conveyor, and utilizing the reversing mechanism as a connecting bridge, it is ensured that the aluminum ingots can accurately enter the whole train conveyor, while changing the transportation path of the aluminum ingots between the cooling conveyor and the whole train conveyor, so that the layout of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine in the workshop is more flexible and changeable, reducing its dependence on straight lines, optimizing the allocation of internal space resources in the workshop, and eliminating the need to change the lengths of the various components of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine, thereby ensuring the output and production efficiency of the aluminum ingots.

[0014] Through the above arrangement, the utility model effectively solves the technical problem in the prior art that the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine has high requirements on the workshop length, resulting in poor applicability and low output in a workshop with limited length.

[0015] Furthermore, the reversing mechanism is a roller conveyor.

[0016] Furthermore, the reversing mechanism is a linear conveyor.

[0017] Furthermore, the reversing mechanism is a chain plate curved conveying device.

[0018] Furthermore, the chain plate curved conveying device includes a plurality of interconnected curved sections.

[0019] Furthermore, the bending radians of the plurality of bending segments are all 0 to 360°.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The curvature of the chain plate curved conveyor device is 0 to 360 degrees, and the conveying direction of the entire conveyor can be changed arbitrarily, making the conveying of aluminum ingots more flexible and changeable.

[0021] Furthermore, the conveying direction of the horizontal casting machine is the same as, opposite to, or perpendicular to the conveying direction of the entire row of conveyors.

[0022] Furthermore, the width of the horizontal casting machine is greater than the width of the cooling conveyor.

[0023] Furthermore, the length of the horizontal casting machine is greater than the length of the cooling conveyor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] 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.

[0038] It should be noted that the main concept of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention is: by setting a reversing mechanism as a connecting bridge between the cooling conveyor and the whole train conveyor, it can not only ensure that the aluminum ingots are accurately transported from the cooling conveyor to the whole train conveyor, but also change the transportation path of the aluminum ingots between the cooling conveyor and the whole train conveyor, so that the layout of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine can be flexibly changed, thereby improving the spatial applicability of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine.

[0039] 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.

[0040] The principle and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0041] Embodiment 1 of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present invention:

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine includes a horizontal casting machine 1, a cooling conveyor 2, a whole-line conveyor 3 and a finished product conveyor 4 which are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the aluminum ingots, wherein the horizontal casting machine 1 and the cooling conveyor 2 are connected by a ring-shaped ingot connecting device 5, and the cooling conveyor 2 and the whole-line conveyor 3 are connected by a reversing mechanism.

[0043] The following describes the arrangement of the ring-shaped ingot splicer 5 between the horizontal casting machine 1 and the cooling conveyor 2. The conveying start end of the ring-shaped ingot splicer 5 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. The ring-shaped ingot splicer 5 is used to convey aluminum ingots from the horizontal casting machine 1 to the cooling conveyor 2.

[0044] Next, we will describe the arrangement of the reversing mechanism between the cooling conveyor 2 and the alignment conveyor 3. The conveying start end of the reversing mechanism is connected to the conveying end end of the cooling conveyor 2, and the conveying end end of the reversing mechanism is connected to the conveying start end of the alignment conveyor 3. The reversing mechanism is used to change the conveying direction of the aluminum ingots between the cooling conveyor 2 and the alignment conveyor 3.

[0045] Specifically, the reversing mechanism is a chain plate curved conveying device 8, which includes a curved section with a curvature of 0 to 360 degrees. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of an aluminum ingot continuous casting machine when the curvature of the chain plate curved conveyor device 8 is 180°. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It is a structural schematic diagram of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine when the curvature of the chain plate curved conveyor device 8 is 90°.

[0046] Finally, the conveying of aluminum ingots between the train conveyor 3 and the finished product conveyor 4 is described. A palletizing robot 6 is provided between the train conveyor 3 and the finished product conveyor 4. The palletizing robot 6 is used to convey the aligned aluminum ingots to the finished product conveyor 4 and complete the palletizing of the aluminum ingots. The palletizing robot 6 can also change the conveying direction of the aluminum ingots between the train conveyor 3 and the finished product conveyor 4.

[0047] It should be noted that the length of the horizontal casting machine 1 is greater than the length of the cooling conveyor 2, and its width is greater than the width of the cooling conveyor 2; the conveying direction of the horizontal casting machine 1 is the same as the conveying direction of the entire conveyor 3 ( Figures 1 to 4 ) or opposite or perpendicular to each other ( Figure 5 and Figure 6 ) or there is any angle between the two; the chain plate curved conveying device can also include two or more interconnected curved sections.

[0048] The working principle of the 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 through the ring ingot receiving device 5. The cooling conveyor 2 cools the aluminum ingots while transporting them. After that, the aluminum ingots are transported from the conveying end of the cooling conveyor 2 to the whole column conveyor 3 through the chain plate curve conveying device 8. Subsequently, the stacking robot 6 places the aluminum ingots transported to the conveying end of the whole column conveyor 3 on the finished product conveyor 4. Finally, the finished product conveyor 4 transports the stacked aluminum ingots out.

[0049] Embodiment 2 of the aluminum ingot continuous casting machine provided by the present utility model:

[0050] The main difference between it and Example 1 is:

[0051] In Example 1, the reversing mechanism is a chain plate curved conveying device.

[0052] In this embodiment, the reversing mechanism is a roller conveyor 7 ( Figures 7 to 10 ) or linear conveyor.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.
