[0001] This utility model relates to the field of casting technology, and in particular to a metallurgical casting casting device with automatic control function. Background Technology
[0002] The casting process in metallurgical casting involves extremely high-temperature molten metal, posing significant safety hazards. Currently, casting is primarily performed manually. Whether using on-site or remote control, manual operation relies entirely on manual adjustments, resulting in fluctuations and abrupt changes in control precision, stability, and linearity. Furthermore, prolonged visual observation of high-temperature molten metal can cause significant eye strain and fatigue. Therefore, achieving consistently stable flow control during manual operation is extremely difficult. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a metallurgical casting pouring device with automatic control function.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

The pouring container is placed on the base. The translation unit is detachably connected to the base. The upper end of the translation unit is fixedly connected to the molten container tilting unit. The first industrial camera is fixedly connected to the base via a first support rod, and its viewing angle is towards the upper end of the pouring container for detecting the thickness of the flowing pouring solution. The second industrial camera is fixedly connected to the base via a second support rod, and its viewing angle is towards the inside of the pouring container for detecting the height of the pouring solution inside the pouring container. The centralized controller is electrically connected to the translation unit, the molten container tilting unit, the first industrial camera, and the second industrial camera.
[0006] Furthermore, the translation part includes a track, a support plate, and an electric hydraulic cylinder; two tracks are fixedly connected in parallel to the upper end of the base and are arranged along the length of the base; the support plate is mounted on the track by a slider or roller and can move relative to the track; the electric hydraulic cylinder is arranged along the length of the base and fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, and its output end is detachably connected to the edge of the support plate on the side away from the pouring container.
[0007] Furthermore, a limit switch for limiting the movement of the translation part is fixedly connected to the base between the casting container and the translation part.
[0008] Furthermore, the molten liquid container tilting part includes a connecting plate, a solution container, a motor, and a motor support; two connecting plates are vertically fixed to the translation part; the solution container is rotatably connected to the two connecting plates via a rotating shaft; the motor output end is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts; the motor is detachably connected to the connecting plate via the motor support.

[0010] Furthermore, the discharge trough is tilted vertically upward relative to the solution container.
[0011] Furthermore, a placement groove is fixedly connected to the base; the casting container is placed in the placement groove.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] (1) By setting a first industrial camera, the thickness of the pouring solution flowing out of the discharge trough on the molten container tilting part can be detected and the data can be transmitted to the central controller.

[0026] Specifically, the translation unit 3 includes a track 31, a support plate 32, and an electric hydraulic cylinder 33. Two tracks 31 are parallel and fixed to the upper end of the base 1, and are arranged along the length of the base 1. The support plate 32 is mounted on the track 31 via a slider or roller, and can move relative to the track 31. The electric hydraulic cylinder 33 is arranged along the length of the base 1 and fixed to the upper end of the base 1, and its output end is detachably connected to the edge of the support plate 32 on the side away from the casting container 2. The track 31 can move the support plate 32, ensuring the horizontal distance between the casting container 2 and the molten liquid container tilting part 4; the electric hydraulic cylinder 33 serves as a power source.
[0027] Specifically, in order to prevent the translation part 3 from colliding with the pouring container 2 due to excessive translation, a limit switch 34 for limiting the translation part 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1 between the pouring container 2 and the translation part 3.
[0028] Specifically, the molten liquid container tilting part 4 includes a connecting plate 41, a solution container 42, a motor 43, and a motor support 44; two connecting plates 41 are vertically fixed to the translation part 3; the solution container 42 is rotatably connected to the two connecting plates 41 via a rotating shaft; the output end of the motor 43 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating shafts; the motor 43 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 41 via the motor support 44.

[0030] Specifically, in order to prevent the pouring container 2 from shaking during pouring, a placement groove 10 is fixedly connected to the base 1; the pouring container 2 is placed in the placement groove 10.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model:
[0032] During solution pouring, the central controller 7 controls the electric hydraulic cylinder 33 to move the translation unit 3 towards the pouring container 2, simultaneously moving the molten metal container tilting unit 4 to a predetermined position. Then, the central controller 7 controls the motor 43 to rotate, which in turn rotates the solution container 42 towards the pouring container 2, allowing the pouring solution to flow out. The thickness of the high-temperature molten metal flowing out of the solution container 42 during the pouring process is monitored using visual inspection technology via the first industrial camera 5. Since the opening of the discharge trough 46 in the solution container 42 is constant, the flow rate of the poured molten metal per unit time can be approximately calculated. Therefore, by monitoring the thickness of the high-temperature molten metal, the flow rate of the molten metal per unit time can be monitored. When the flow rate needs to be adjusted, the central controller 7 controls the motor 43 to rotate forward or backward, adjusting the tilt angle of the solution container 42, thereby adjusting the thickness of the flowing high-temperature molten metal. The first industrial camera 5 uses visual inspection technology to identify the coordinates of the landing point of the high-temperature molten metal flowing out during the pouring process. When the position of the solution container needs to be adjusted, the translation unit is moved by the central controller to adjust the horizontal position of the solution container, thereby adjusting the landing point of the high-temperature molten metal and ensuring that the outflow position of the high-temperature molten metal is within the safe pouring range, preventing it from being poured outside the pouring container 2. The second industrial camera 6 uses visual inspection technology to monitor the liquid level of the high-temperature molten metal in the pouring container in real time. When the liquid level reaches the preset value, the second industrial camera 6 transmits a signal to the central controller 7. The central controller 7 controls the molten metal container tilting unit 4 to operate, so that the solution container tends to return to a vertical state, stopping the solution pouring and preventing the pouring solution from overflowing.
