Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to tooling, and more particularly to a tooling for aluminum ingot processing and casting. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloys are one of the most widely used materials, and are widely used in various industries such as construction, production, and transportation. They are characterized by their light weight, high structural strength, and low cost.

[0003] Aluminum alloy casting involves pouring molten aluminum alloy into a pre-prepared mold, and then cooling it to obtain the desired casting. Aluminum ingots, on the other hand, are a type of industrial raw material, a block-shaped product of aluminum obtained through electrolytic refining, and hold an important position in the aluminum casting industry.

[0004] In the metal casting and processing industry, casting molds are a special form of tooling. One of the final key steps in the existing aluminum ingot casting process is to pour molten aluminum into the casting tooling and wait for it to cool and solidify. After solidification, workers or operators need to use mechanical clamps to invert the casting tooling and forcefully knock the aluminum ingot out of the mold. However, the existing casting tooling is not easy to handle, making it difficult to pick up, invert, and knock, which causes particular trouble for manual operations and affects the demolding quality and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of the aforementioned technologies, this utility model provides a casting fixture for aluminum ingot processing.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an aluminum ingot processing and casting fixture, including a fixture body and an aluminum ingot mold that are adapted to each other, wherein the fixture body is formed by positioning and installing the aluminum ingot mold.

[0007] The tooling body includes a mold platform and a formed side wall extending upward from the surface of the mold platform. The tooling body has a front latch, a first side latch, and a second side latch. The inner circle of the side wall forms an upper open positioning mold groove, which is adapted to install an aluminum ingot mold. The four corners of the positioning mold groove form rounded corners that are recessed into the side wall.

[0008] Furthermore, the mold platform is rectangular and forms side walls through its edges, with the left and right sides of the mold platform extending outward beyond the periphery of the side walls to form outward-extending wings.

[0009] Furthermore, a clearance space is formed between the corners of the aluminum ingot mold that is adapted and installed in the positioning mold groove and its corresponding clearance rounded corner.

[0010] Furthermore, a beveled transition edge is formed around the inner side of the top surface of the side wall, and a transition edge is also machined on the rounded corner.

[0011] Furthermore, the front buckle, the first side buckle, and the second side buckle are all implemented by disconnecting the side wall at their respective locations.

[0012] Furthermore, the front buckle hand also forms a first intrusion position in the form of an intrusion platform, and the first intrusion position is square.

[0013] Furthermore, the first side buckle and the second side buckle are symmetrical to each other, and both the first side buckle and the second side buckle are opened by disconnecting the extension wing on their respective sides.

[0014] Furthermore, both the first and second side buckle hands are formed into a second and a third intrusion position respectively by means of an intrusion mold.

[0015] Furthermore, the top surface of the platform near the second and third intrusion positions is provided with a first auxiliary avoidance handle and a second auxiliary avoidance handle, respectively.

[0016] An innovative aluminum ingot processing and casting fixture transforms the traditional single-unit casting mold into a modular fixture body and an aluminum ingot mold that can be separated. By separating the structure, the functions are also separated. The fixture body is used to position and secure the aluminum ingot mold, while the front latch, first side latch, and second side latch facilitate the handling, flipping, and separation of the aluminum ingot mold by operators or robotic arms. The aluminum ingot mold is used for pouring molten aluminum into the casting mold and is also more conducive to the removal and hammering of the aluminum ingot, which can improve the demolding quality and demolding efficiency. The use and replacement cost of the aluminum ingot mold is lower, resulting in greater economic benefits. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this embodiment of aluminum ingot processing casting fixture includes a fixture body 1 and an aluminum ingot mold 13 that are adapted to each other. The fixture body 1 is formed by positioning and installing the aluminum ingot mold 13. It should be noted that, compared with traditional casting molds, this embodiment is specifically divided into two mutually cooperating parts, namely the fixture body 1 and the aluminum ingot mold 13. The fixture body 1 is used to fasten the aluminum ingot mold 13 and facilitates the operator or robot to pick up and turn the aluminum ingot mold 13. The aluminum ingot mold 13 is used to pour in molten aluminum for casting.

[0024] The tooling body 1 includes a mold platform 2 and a formed side wall portion 5 extending upward from the surface of the mold platform 2. The tooling body 1 has a front buckle 8, a first side buckle 9, and a second side buckle 10. The inner circle of the side wall portion 5 forms an upper open positioning mold groove 4. The positioning mold groove 4 is adapted to install an aluminum ingot mold 13. The four corners of the positioning mold groove 4 form a relief rounded corner 6 that is recessed into the side wall portion 5.

[0025] Preferably, the mold 2 is square with thickness and sidewalls 5 are formed through its edges. The left and right sides of the mold 2 extend outward beyond the periphery of the sidewalls 5 to form extension wings 3. The mold 2 is used to be placed in the processing position. In actual use, in order to stabilize the tooling body 1, the mold 2 can be bolted to the processing position after holes are made in the extension wings 3, or it can be welded to the processing position through the edges of the extension wings 3. Both connection methods are common in the art and are hereby explained.

[0026] The corners of the aluminum ingot mold 13, which is fitted and installed in the positioning mold groove 4, and the corresponding clearance rounded corners 6 form a clearance space. In other words, when the aluminum ingot mold 13 is positioned in the positioning mold groove 4 on site, the corners of the aluminum ingot mold 13 and its corresponding clearance rounded corners 6 form a space. This space makes it easy for operators to use a pry bar to lift the aluminum ingot mold 13. The purpose of lifting is mainly to adjust the flatness of the aluminum ingot mold 13 when positioning and installing it, thereby ensuring the casting quality of the aluminum ingot.

[0027] A beveled transition edge 7 is formed around the inner side of the top surface of the side wall 5. A transition edge 7 is also machined on the rounded corner 6. As mentioned above, the rounded corner 6 is used for the insertion of the pry bar. Therefore, the machining of the transition edge 7 on the rounded corner 6 is beneficial to the frictional contact of the pry bar and can reduce the impact of the pry bar on the top corner of the side wall 5.

[0028] Based on the above structure, the rounded corner 6 and its matching arrangement are used for the fixed position of the aluminum ingot mold 13. Accordingly, the front latch 8, the first side latch 9, and the second side latch 10 in this embodiment are used to facilitate the picking up and flipping of the aluminum ingot mold 13. The front latch 8, the first side latch 9, and the second side latch 10 are all implemented by disconnecting from the side wall 5 at their respective positions. That is to say, the front latch 8, the first side latch 9, and the second side latch 10 all intrude into the space of the area involved in the mold platform 2.

[0029] Preferably, the front latch 8 also forms a first intrusion position 14 by intruding into the mold platform 2. The first intrusion position 14 is square. The front latch 8 is used to expose the corresponding position of the aluminum ingot mold 13. In this embodiment, the first intrusion position 14 is opened at the central axis of the left and right positions of the mold platform 2. This is to make it easier to control when picking up and flipping the aluminum ingot mold 13. In the design, the front latch 8 is more conducive to the operator to use tools to pick up and flip the aluminum ingot mold 13 at the first intrusion position 14 than the first side latch 9 and the second side latch 10.

[0030] Preferably, the first side buckle 9 and the second side buckle 10 are symmetrical to each other, and both the first side buckle 9 and the second side buckle 10 are opened in a manner that disconnects the extension wing 3 on their respective sides.

[0031] Furthermore, both the first side-clamping hand 9 and the second side-clamping hand 10 are respectively formed into a second intrusion position 15 and a third intrusion position 16 by means of an intrusion platform 2. The second intrusion position 15 and the third intrusion position 16 are symmetrical to each other, and thus the space of the intrusion platform 2 of the second intrusion position 15 and the third intrusion position 16 is the same. It should be noted that the space of the intrusion platform 2 of the second intrusion position 15 and the third intrusion position 16 is smaller than the space of the intrusion platform 2 of the first intrusion position 14. In this embodiment, the first side-clamping hand 9 and the second side-clamping hand 10 are more conducive to the gripper of the robot arm.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top surfaces of the mold platform 2 near the second intrusion position 15 and the third intrusion position 16 are respectively provided with a first auxiliary clearance handle 11 and a second auxiliary clearance handle 12. The first auxiliary clearance handle 11 and the second auxiliary clearance handle 12 are symmetrical to each other and both open to their respective outer ends. The top surfaces of the first auxiliary clearance handle 11 and the second auxiliary clearance handle 12 are open. The first auxiliary clearance handle 11 and the second auxiliary clearance handle 12 are used to assist the external robotic arm in grasping the aluminum ingot mold 13 when there is poor adhesion between the tooling body 1 and the aluminum ingot mold 13, such as adhesion caused by the overflow of aluminum liquid.

[0033] This application discloses an aluminum ingot processing casting fixture, which innovatively designs a traditional single-piece casting mold into a fixture body 1 and an aluminum ingot mold 13 that can be separated from each other. The function is separated by the structure. The fixture body 1 is used to position and fasten the aluminum ingot mold 13, and the front buckle 8, the first side buckle 9, and the second side buckle 10 facilitate the operation of operators or robots to pick up, flip, and separate the aluminum ingot mold 13. The aluminum ingot mold 13 is used to pour in molten aluminum for casting and is more conducive to the removal and hammering of aluminum ingots, which can improve the demolding quality and demolding efficiency. The use and replacement cost of the aluminum ingot mold 13 is lower and the economic benefits are stronger.

[0034] The above embodiments are not intended to limit the present utility model, nor is the present utility model limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model are also within the protection scope of the present utility model.
