Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0036] The utility model discloses a kind of undercurrent diversion devices, to solve the problems existing in prior art, reduce the tumbling strength caused by big drop, reduce the generation of splashing phenomenon.

[0037] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more apparent, easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] Embodiment one

[0039] The embodiment provides an undercurrent diversion device, as shown in Figs. 1-3 The undercurrent pipe 10 has a flow-through channel that penetrates from top to bottom. The density of the floating object 20 is lower than that of the liquid injected into the flow-through channel. The floating object 20 has a hollow cavity and an upper opening 21 and at least one side opening 22 that communicate with the hollow cavity. The lower end of the undercurrent pipe 10 is arranged in the upper opening 21 and extends into the hollow cavity. There is a flow gap 30 between the lower end of the undercurrent pipe 10 and the bottom of the hollow cavity.

[0040] By using the undercurrent pipe 10 and the floating object 20 in cooperation, the molten aluminum flows out through the side opening 22 of the floating object 20 after flowing through the flow-through channel of the undercurrent pipe 10, the flow direction of the molten aluminum outlet is constrained and changed, thereby reducing the impact force of the molten aluminum caused by the drop, and reducing the excessive aluminum slag and splashing phenomenon caused by the rolling of the molten aluminum. When the liquid level of the molten aluminum is higher than the position of the undercurrent pipe 10, the flowing molten aluminum will flow under the liquid level, and when the liquid level is higher than the floating object 20, the floating object 20 will be lifted with the liquid level and will be close to the position of the undercurrent pipe 10, thereby playing a certain flow control role, filling the undercurrent pipe 10 with molten aluminum, forming an undercurrent form, reducing the amount of aluminum slag and splashing phenomenon caused by large drop, reducing casting loss, and improving casting quality.

[0041] Among them, the related structure of the undercurrent pipe 10 is explained as follows:

[0042] In the optional scheme of the embodiment, it is more preferred that Figs. 1-3As shown, the underflow pipe 10 comprises an inverted cone pipe 11 and a straight pipe 12; in the vertical direction, the large end of the inverted cone pipe 11 is above the small end of the inverted cone pipe 11; the upper end of the straight pipe 12 is fixedly connected and communicated with the small end of the inverted cone pipe 11. The large opening area of the large end can disperse the impact force of the liquid, so that the liquid will not produce violent pressure change and turbulent flow phenomenon when it enters the underflow pipe 10 suddenly.

[0043] In an optional solution of the embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figs. 1-3 As shown, the inverted cone pipe 11 and the straight pipe 12 are integrally formed. The inverted cone pipe 11 and the straight pipe 12 are integrally formed, which has less parts, simpler structure and more firm connection.

[0044] Among them, the related structure of the float 20 is explained as follows:

[0045] In an optional solution of the embodiment, preferably, as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 As shown, the inner diameter of the upper opening 21 is 4mm larger than the outer diameter of the lower end of the underflow pipe 10. The inner diameter of the upper opening 21 is 4mm larger than the outer diameter of the lower end of the underflow pipe 10, which provides sufficient space for the lower end of the underflow pipe 10 to pass through the upper opening 21 of the float 20, and the float 20 can be lifted more flexibly when it rises based on the small density and the resistance to upward movement is small.

[0046] In an optional solution of the embodiment, preferably, as shown in Fig. 3 As shown, two oppositely arranged side openings 22 are arranged on the float 20. The two oppositely arranged side openings 22 can make the liquid flow out of the hollow cavity from both sides of the float 20 more evenly, and slow down the turbulent flow of the outflowing liquid.

[0047] In an optional solution of the embodiment, preferably, as shown in Fig. 3 As shown, the longitudinal sectional dimension of the side opening 22 is the same as the longitudinal sectional dimension of the hollow cavity. The side opening 22 is arranged to have the same longitudinal sectional dimension as the hollow cavity, so that it has a larger exhaust port size, which facilitates better discharge of the liquid from the underflow pipe 10.

[0048] In an optional solution of the embodiment, preferably, as shown in Figs. 1-3 As shown, the float 20 is fixedly provided with a carrying handle 23 on each of the opposite sides. The carrying handle 23 arranged on the float 20 can facilitate the operator to grasp and move the float 20.

[0049] In the optional solution of the embodiment, preferably, each carrying handle 23 is integrally formed with the float 20. The integrally formed carrying handle 23 and the float 20 can always maintain the structural integrity, and will not be separated due to frequent carrying operations or environmental factors, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the device as a whole.

[0050] In addition, the following related settings are described:

[0051] In the optional solution of the embodiment, preferably, as shown in the figure, Fig. 3 The flow gap 30 is 10 mm. The 10 mm flow gap 30 can ensure that the liquid can flow out of the submerged pipe 10 into the hollow cavity of the float 20, while also playing a certain restraining role on the flow of the liquid. It will not be too small to seriously hinder the flow of liquid, resulting in the accumulation of liquid near the lower end of the submerged pipe 10, causing a large pressure difference and thus unstable flow or even backflow. It will not be too large to make the liquid flow out too dispersed, too fast and difficult to control the flow direction, causing subsequent violent rolling and splashing in and out of the float 20.

[0052] Specifically, the related sizes of the submerged pipe 10 and the float 20 can be set according to actual needs.

[0053] Specifically, in use, the position of the submerged pipe 10 is fixed.

[0054] The principle and implementation mode of the specific examples are described in the utility model, and the above embodiment is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the utility model. Meanwhile, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the utility model, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed. In conclusion, the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the utility model.
