Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum ingot casting equipment, and in particular to a water tank for a horizontal casting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A horizontal casting machine is a device that continuously casts metal in a horizontal direction by continuously pouring molten metal. It has the advantages of high efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, and is one of the indispensable pieces of equipment in modern industrial production.

[0003] Currently, in the continuous casting process of aluminum ingots, the first step is to draw the high-temperature molten aluminum from the smelting furnace and guide it into the mold of the horizontal casting machine through a distributor to ensure that the molten aluminum can be evenly and stably distributed to each mold. Then, the mold is cooled down by water stored in a water tank at the bottom of the mold to quickly cool down the molten aluminum and solidify it into aluminum ingots. A baffle plate is also installed in the water tank to maintain the water level in the tank, thereby ensuring that the aluminum ingots in the mold can be fully cooled.

[0004] However, the height of the baffle in the existing technology is fixed. If the baffle is found to be too high or too low during on-site use, the height can only be adjusted by cutting or welding, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. In addition, the presence of the mold results in the distance between the baffle and the sides of the water tank being too narrow, which leads to insufficient width of the return water tank. When the water volume in the inlet pipe is large, the inlet water volume is likely to exceed the return water volume, making it impossible for the water in the tank to be completely drained. This results in the water level in the tank being too high, causing water to enter the mold. The mold contains high-temperature molten aluminum, and the contact between the water and the high-temperature molten aluminum will create a huge safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a water tank for a horizontal casting machine to solve the technical problems in the prior art, such as the complicated adjustment of the height of the baffle plate leading to long adjustment time and the narrow width of the return water tank causing water to enter the casting mold and creating safety hazards.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the horizontal casting machine water tank provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A horizontal casting machine water tank, comprising:

[0008] The main body of the water tank is mounted on the frame and extends along the conveying direction of the main body of the horizontal casting machine;

[0009] Two adjustable baffles are installed inside the main body of the water tank and located on two opposite sides along the length of the main body of the water tank. The adjustable baffles and the side walls of the main body of the water tank form a drainage channel for drainage. The adjustable baffles include a first baffle and a second baffle from bottom to top. The first baffle is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main body of the water tank.

[0010] The first baffle plate includes a first plate segment, a second plate segment, and a third plate segment connected sequentially from bottom to top. The first plate segment and the third plate segment both extend vertically upward. The second plate segment is inclined from bottom to top toward the side wall of the water tank body. The third plate segment has a vertically extending slot. The second baffle plate and the third plate segment are connected by fasteners inserted into the slot.

[0011] The distance between the first plate segment and the side wall of the water tank body is greater than the distance between the third plate segment and the side wall of the water tank body.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the horizontal casting machine water tank provided by this utility model are:

[0013] 1. By setting an adjustable baffle including a first baffle and a second baffle, a slot is opened on the top of the first baffle, and a fastener is connected between the top of the second baffle and the first baffle by passing through the slot. In actual use, the installation height of the second baffle can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the fastener in the slot, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall height of the adjustable baffle. The adjustment process is simple and greatly saves the time spent adjusting the height of the baffle.

[0014] 2. By configuring the first baffle plate as comprising a first plate segment, a second plate segment, and a third plate segment connected sequentially from bottom to top, with the first and third plate segments extending vertically upwards and the second plate segment inclined towards the side wall of the water tank body from bottom to top, the distance between the first plate segment and the side wall of the water tank body is made greater than the distance between the third plate segment and the side wall of the water tank body. This increases the width of the drainage channel without affecting the movement of the mold, thereby increasing the drainage capacity of the water tank body. While ensuring the cooling effect of the water tank body, it effectively prevents cooling water from entering the mold, greatly improving the safety of the mold cooling operation.

[0015] Through the above-mentioned design, this utility model effectively solves the technical problems in the prior art, such as the complex adjustment of the height of the baffle plate leading to long adjustment time and the narrow width of the return water tank causing water to enter the mold and creating safety hazards.

[0016] Furthermore, the fastener includes a bolt and a nut that mates with the bolt.

[0017] Furthermore, connectors are welded to the four corners of the bottom of the water tank body, and the connectors are provided with first threaded holes. The frame is provided with corresponding second threaded holes, so that the water tank body can be installed on the frame by bolts passing through the first threaded holes and the second threaded holes.

[0018] Beneficial effects: Installing the main body of the sink onto the frame with bolts makes the installation and disassembly of the sink body more convenient, and facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the sink body.

[0019] Furthermore, a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the main body of the water tank, and a water inlet component is provided at the water inlet. The water inlet component has a water outlet hole for supplying water to the main body of the water tank.

[0020] Furthermore, there is one water inlet, which is located at the center of the bottom of the main body of the water tank.

[0021] Beneficial effects: By placing the water inlet at the center of the bottom of the water tank, cold water can be ensured to flow from the middle of the tank to both sides. The cold water cools the bottom of the mold and then heats it up. The heated water flows to the drain tank and is discharged, which can make full use of the cold water and ensure the cooling effect.

[0022] Furthermore, the cross-section of the water inlet is a trapezoid that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, and the water outlet is located on the two inclined sides of the trapezoid. Alternatively, the cross-section of the water inlet is rectangular, and the water outlet is provided on both sides facing the two first plate segments.

[0023] Furthermore, the water inlet has a rectangular cross-section, and the water outlet is provided on the sides facing the two first plate segments.

[0024] Furthermore, there are two water inlets, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the two first plate segments, and each water inlet is equipped with a water inlet component.

[0025] Furthermore, both of the water inlets are rectangular structures, and each has a water inlet hole on its opposite side.

[0026] Furthermore, the water inlet includes a water outlet pipe, the end of which is equipped with a water outlet nozzle, and the angle between the water outlet nozzle and the horizontal plane is an acute angle, an obtuse angle, or a right angle.

[0027] Furthermore, the number of water inlets is three, and the three water inlets are respectively located at the center of the bottom of the water tank body and on both sides of the bottom of the water tank body.

[0028] Beneficial effect: By installing water inlets at the center and on both sides of the bottom of the main body of the water tank, the supply of cold water in the main body of the water tank can be guaranteed even when the water inlet pressure is insufficient. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0038] It should be noted that the main concept of the horizontal casting machine water tank provided by this utility model is as follows: An adjustable baffle plate is installed inside the water tank body. A slot is opened at the top of the first section of the adjustable baffle plate. The second baffle plate is connected to the first baffle plate by fasteners inserted into the slot. The installation height of the second baffle plate can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the fasteners in the slot, thereby adjusting the overall height of the adjustable baffle plate to match the height of the molten aluminum in the mold. The adjustment process is simple and time-saving. The first baffle plate is configured as consisting of two vertically extending sections, a first section and a third section. The first and third sections are connected by a baffle plate that slopes upwards towards the side wall of the water tank body from bottom to top. This makes the distance between the first section and the side wall of the water tank body greater than the distance between the third section and the side wall of the water tank body, increasing the drainage capacity of the drainage tank by increasing the bottom width. This ensures water exchange within the water tank body and prevents water from entering the mold, thus improving the cooling effect while enhancing the safety of the cooling operation.

[0039] After introducing the basic principles of this utility model, various non-limiting embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Any quantity of elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not for limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0040] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment 1 of the horizontal casting machine water tank provided by this utility model:

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the horizontal casting machine water tank includes a water tank body 1 installed on the frame 2. The water tank body 1 extends along the conveying direction of the horizontal casting machine. An adjustable baffle is provided on each of the left and right sides of the bottom of the water tank body 1. The adjustable baffle and the side wall of the water tank body 1 form a drainage trough 3 for drainage.

[0043] Regarding the adjustable baffle plate: The adjustable baffle plate includes a first baffle plate fixedly installed at the bottom of the water tank body 1 and a second baffle plate 7 connected to the top of the first baffle plate. The first baffle plate includes a first plate segment 4, a second plate segment 5, and a third plate segment 6 connected sequentially from bottom to top. The first plate segment 4 and the third plate segment 6 both extend vertically upward. The second plate segment 5 is inclined from bottom to top toward the side wall of the water tank body 1, so that the distance between the first plate segment 4 and the side wall of the water tank body 1 is greater than the distance between the third plate segment 6 and the side wall of the water tank body 1. The third plate segment 6 has a vertically extending slot, and the second baffle plate 7 has a bolt hole. The second baffle plate 7 and the third plate segment 6 are connected by bolts 8 that pass through the bolt holes. The bolts 8 are fitted with nuts 9 to ensure the reliability of the connection.

[0044] In order to supply water to the main body of the water tank 1, a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the main body of the water tank 1, and a water inlet component 10 is provided at the water inlet. The water inlet component 10 has a water inlet hole for supplying water to the main body of the water tank 1.

[0045] Specifically, there is one water inlet, which is located at the center of the bottom of the main body 1 of the water tank.

[0047] Specifically, connector 12 is an angle steel.

[0048] The working principle of the horizontal casting machine water tank provided by this utility model is as follows: The main body 1 of the water tank is installed on the frame 2 by bolts 8. Then, the installation height of the second baffle 7 is adjusted to adapt to the height of the molten aluminum in the mold 14. Then, water is supplied to the main body 1 of the water tank through the water supply pipe 13 connected to the water inlet. The cold water flows from the middle of the main body 1 of the water tank to both sides, and the hot water that heats up after contacting the mold 14 enters the drain trough 3 from the upper part of both sides of the main body 1 of the water tank. The entry of cold water and the discharge of hot water maintain a dynamic balance, so that the mold 14 can be continuously cooled.
