It is an important link in the aluminum industry chain and the foundation of the aluminum processing industry.

[0003] Chinese patent discloses an electrically heated aluminum alloy melting furnace (authorization announcement number CN206410508U). This patented technology heats the crucible by setting a resistance wire, and with the use of a high-temperature resistant temperature sensor, the heating is stable and rapid, and the temperature control is accurate in real time. The setting of an electrical control box enables the device to have protection functions such as overcurrent, short circuit, and overtemperature.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: In current industrial production, the feeding process of aluminum alloy smelting furnaces generally adopts manual handling and feeding. This method is not only inefficient, but also labor-intensive, which can easily cause operator fatigue and safety risks. Since manual handling requires operators to frequently move heavy objects, long-term work can lead to physical fatigue and may even cause occupational diseases. In addition, there are certain safety hazards in the manual handling process. Operators may cause accidents due to lack of concentration, improper operation, etc., which threaten personnel safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that existing aluminum alloy smelting furnaces rely on manual handling and feeding during the material feeding process. This method is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive, easily causing operator fatigue and safety risks. Therefore, we propose an automatic feeding device for aluminum alloy smelting furnaces.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: an automatic feeding device for an aluminum alloy smelting furnace, comprising a support plate, a smelting furnace body mounted on the top of the support plate, a lifting device mounted on the top of the support plate, a connector installed inside the lifting device, multiple connecting rods fixedly connected to both sides of the connector, a placement plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rods, a moving groove formed on the top of the placement plate, a threaded hole formed at one end of the placement plate, a threaded rod threadedly connected inside the threaded hole, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod, a moving block slidably connected inside the moving groove, an extension block fixedly connected to the top of the moving block, an adjusting plate fixedly connected to one end of the extension block, one end of the connecting plate abutting against one end of the moving block, and a fixing plate fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate.

[0007] Preferably, sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the moving groove, and sliders are fixedly connected to both sides of the moving block.

[0008] Preferably, a return spring is fixedly connected to one end of the movable block, and one end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the movable groove.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the placement plate is provided with a wear-resistant layer, and the wear-resistant layer is made of high-strength aluminum alloy.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the fixing plate is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad, and the other end of the adjusting plate is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad.

[0011] Preferably, the interior of the threaded hole is rotatably connected to the surface of the threaded rod, and the outer diameter of the threaded rod is adapted to the inner diameter of the threaded hole.

[0012] Preferably, a slot is provided on one side of the movable block, and a roller is rotatably connected to the internal shaft of the slot.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] In this invention, the operator places the aluminum alloy plate on top of the placement plate, then twists the threaded rod to drive the connecting plate to push the moving block. At this time, the moving block will drive the adjusting plate to move towards the fixed plate and clamp the aluminum alloy plate. Then, by activating the lifting device, the position of the placement plate is made flush with the top of the smelting furnace body before feeding materials. This reduces manual operation, lowers labor intensity, and ensures operational safety. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic feeding device for an aluminum alloy smelting furnace, including a support plate 1, a smelting furnace body 2 mounted on the top of the support plate 1, a lifting device 3 mounted on the top of the support plate 1, a connector 4 installed inside the lifting device 3, multiple connecting rods 5 fixedly connected to both sides of the connector 4, a placement plate 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rods 5, a moving groove 7 opened on the top of the placement plate 6, a threaded hole 8 opened at one end of the placement plate 6, a threaded rod 9 threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 8, a connecting plate 11 fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 9, a moving block 12 slidably connected inside the moving groove 7, and an extension plate 12 fixedly connected to the top of the moving block 12. Block 13, one end of extension block 13 is fixedly connected to adjustment plate 14, one end of connecting plate 11 abuts against one end of moving block 12, and the top of placement plate 6 is fixedly connected to fixing plate 10. The operator places aluminum alloy plate on top of placement plate 6, and then twists threaded rod 9 to drive connecting plate 11 to push moving block 12. At this time, moving block 12 will drive adjustment plate 14 to move towards fixing plate 10 and clamp aluminum alloy plate. Then, by activating lifting device 3, the position of placement plate 6 is made flush with the top of smelting furnace body 2, and then material is fed. This reduces manual operation, reduces labor intensity, and ensures the safety of operation.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: sliding grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the moving groove 7, and sliders 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the moving block 12. The sliders 16 can fit tightly with the sliding grooves 15 to ensure that the moving block 12 moves smoothly in the moving groove 7, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0024] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: a return spring 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving block 12. One end of the return spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the moving groove 7. When the connecting plate 11 does not abut against the moving block 12, the return spring 17 will drive the adjusting plate 14 to return to its original position quickly through its own elasticity, making it faster for the operator to clamp and position the next plate.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, a wear-resistant layer is provided on the top of the placement plate 6. The wear-resistant layer is made of high-strength aluminum alloy. The use of high-strength aluminum alloy not only improves the corrosion resistance of the placement plate 6, but also ensures the long-term durability of the device.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: one end of the fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad 20, and the other end of the adjusting plate 14 is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad 20. The anti-slip pad 20 can effectively prevent the plates on the plate 6 from sliding during operation, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the feeding process.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in this embodiment: the interior of the threaded hole 8 is rotatably connected to the surface of the threaded rod 9, and the outer diameter of the threaded rod 9 is matched with the inner diameter of the threaded hole 8. Through precise thread engagement, the threaded rod 9 can smoothly rotate into the threaded hole 8. This process ensures a perfect fit between the threaded rod 9 and the threaded hole 8. It is this fine matching that prevents the threaded rod 9 from jamming or loosening during rotation, thereby achieving precise positioning of the plate.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: a slot 18 is provided on one side of the moving block 12, and a roller 19 is rotatably connected to the internal rotating shaft of the slot 18. This design allows the roller 19 to roll smoothly when the moving block 12 moves in the moving groove 7, thereby greatly reducing the friction between the moving block 12 and the moving groove 7.

[0029] This aluminum alloy melting furnace uses an automatic feeding device:

[0030] First, on the production line, the workers need to place the aluminum alloy on the top of the placement plate 6. Then, by twisting the threaded rod 9, the workers use the rotation of the threaded rod 9 to drive the connecting plate 11 to apply a uniform and stable pushing force to the moving block 12. At this time, under the action of the pushing force, the moving block 12 will drive the adjusting plate 14 to move smoothly along the predetermined track towards the fixed plate 10. This process enables the adjusting plate 14 to accurately and firmly clamp the aluminum alloy plate, ensuring that the aluminum alloy plate will not be displaced or deformed during the subsequent melting process.

[0031] Second, the staff needs to start the lifting device 3. Through the precise control of the lifting device 3, the placement plate 6 and the aluminum alloy plate on it will slowly rise until their position is level with the top of the melting furnace body 2. This process requires precise control of the lifting speed and height to ensure that the aluminum alloy plate is in the best position before entering the melting furnace.

[0032] Third, after completing these preparations, staff can begin feeding materials. This significantly reduces the frequency of manual operations, thereby reducing labor intensity. Staff no longer need to frequently manually move and adjust aluminum alloy plates, greatly reducing their physical burden. At the same time, this automated process also greatly improves operational safety, reduces the risk of accidents that may be caused by improper manual operation, and ensures that staff on the production line can work in a safer environment. In addition, the introduction of automated equipment also improves production efficiency and consistency, ensuring the stability and reliability of product quality.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
