DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.
[0033] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Example
[0035] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, an aluminum liquid sampling and molding device includes a supporting ring 2, a connecting rod 1, a sampling spoon and other components.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, one side of the support ring 2 is connected to the connecting rod 1. Furthermore, a connecting portion 21 is provided on one side of the support ring 2, and an internal threaded hole is provided in the connecting portion 21. The bottom end of the connecting rod 1 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded hole of the connecting portion 21 to achieve a detachable connection. The sampling spoon includes a first semicircular block 3 and a second semicircular block 4, and the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 are assembled to form a sampling spoon with a storage cavity inside; one side of the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 are both provided with a hinged portion, and the hinged portion is respectively hinged to the connecting rod 1. The sampling spoon can slide axially along the connecting rod 1, so that the sampling spoon is away from the support ring 2 or is tightly arranged on the inner wall of the support ring 2.
[0037] Preferably, the support ring 2 and the sampling spoon are conical in shape, with the outer wall of the sampling spoon being able to fit snugly against the inner wall of the support ring 2. Therefore, the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 are identical in shape, both being semi-annular conical blocks. When joined together, they form a conical tube, i.e., a conical sampling spoon. Of course, in practice, this is not necessarily limited to a conical shape; it can also be a cylindrical shape. Since the aluminum sample being sampled is conical, the sampling spoon (which also serves as a mold) is conical.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, further, the hinge portion of the first semicircular block 3 includes a first connecting block 31 and a first hinge block 32 arranged on the top of the first connecting block 31, the first hinge block 32 extends obliquely toward the outside of the first connecting block 31, and a first hinge hole 33 is provided on the first hinge block 32, and the center line of the first hinge hole 33 is parallel to the outer wall contour of the first semicircular block 3 (as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown), the center line of the first hinge hole 33 also coincides with the horizontal side wall of the first semicircular block 3 (as shown Figure 10 shown).
[0039] like Figures 1 to 15As shown, further, the hinge portion of the second semicircular block 4 includes a second connecting block 41 and a second hinge block 42 arranged on the top of the second connecting block 41, the second hinge block 42 extends obliquely toward the outside of the second connecting block 41, and a second hinge hole 43 is provided on the second hinge block 42. The center line of the second hinge hole 43 is parallel to the outer wall contour of the second semicircular block 4 (as shown in FIG. Figure 12 As shown), the center line of the second hinge hole 43 also coincides with the horizontal side wall of the second semicircular block 4 (as shown Figure 13 shown).
[0040] Furthermore, the connecting rod 1 is inserted into the first hinge hole 33 and the second hinge hole 43, and the upper end of the first hinge block 32 is set close to the bottom end of the second hinge block 42; the inner side of the second connecting block 41 is provided with an avoidance groove 44, and the first hinge block 32 is partially set in the avoidance groove 44 to avoid mutual interference between the first hinge part and the second hinge part when rotating. With this design, the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 are hinged on the connecting rod 1, and the two can be spliced into a sampling spoon, and then lowered to be supported on the inner wall of the support ring 2 (such as Figure 5 As shown), or rise away from the support ring 2 (as shown Figure 6 As shown), after being away from the support ring 2, the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 can be separated from each other, which facilitates the demoulding operation.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 15 As shown, in the present invention, the aluminum liquid sampling and forming device also includes a slide 5 slidably arranged on the connecting rod 1. The bottom end of the slide 5 is provided with a fixed block 52. The inner wall of the fixed block 52 does not contact the first hinge block 32 and the second hinge block 42. The bottom end of the fixed block 52 is provided with a supporting block 53. The bottom end of the first hinge block 32 is arranged in close contact with the supporting block 53, and the bottom end of the slide 5 is arranged in close contact with the upper end of the second hinge block 42. Through the structural setting of the slide 5, the first hinge block 32 and the second hinge block 42 can be confined so that the two are in close contact with each other and can only rotate relative to each other. In this way, when operating the sampling spoon, it is only necessary to slide the slide 5 to drive the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 to rise and fall synchronously.
[0042] Furthermore, a guide cylinder 51 is extended from one end of the slide cylinder 5, and the guide cylinder 51 is slidably arranged close to the connecting rod 1. A handle 11 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 1, and a spring 6 is sleeved on the connecting rod 1 between the handle 11 and the guide cylinder 51.
[0043] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, in the natural state, the spring 6 drives the slide 5 down, so that the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the support ring 2 to achieve fixation. In this case, the position of the sampling spoon is fixed, and the sampling operation can be carried out. After the sampling is completed, the sampling spoon acts as a mold to allow the aluminum liquid to cool and form. Figure 6As shown, after the aluminum liquid is formed, the guide cylinder 51 slides upward, the spring 6 is compressed, and the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 are pulled away from the support ring 2. After the support ring 2 is lost, the first semicircular block 3 and the second semicircular block 4 are rotated apart from each other to realize the demolding operation.
[0044] In summary, the aluminum liquid sampling and molding device provided by the present invention comprises a first semicircular block 3 and a second semicircular block 4 that are assembled to form a sampling spoon with an internal storage cavity. After being assembled in pairs, the sampling spoon can be supported on the inner wall of the support ring 2 for fixation, and then directly inserted into the electrolytic cell for sampling. After removing the aluminum liquid, the device is left to stand or cooled to achieve aluminum liquid molding. After molding, the assembled sampling spoons are directly separated for rapid demolding and removal of the aluminum sample. This design allows for rapid sampling and molding operations, facilitates demolding, significantly improves molding efficiency, and avoids the long-distance and prolonged transfer of sampled aluminum liquid.
[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
