[0018] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a metallurgical casting flatcar includes a trolley frame 1 that travels on a track. Lifting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the trolley frame 1. A lifting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of each lifting mechanism. A tilting mechanism is provided on the side of each lifting plate 2. The tilting mechanism includes a drive motor 3, which is fixedly installed on the side of the lifting plate 2. A drive gear 4 is mounted on the shaft of the drive motor 3, meshing with an internal gear 5. The side of the internal gear 5 is mounted on a tilting plate 6. A placement mechanism for placing a ladle 7 is provided between the two tilting plates 6. An auxiliary mechanism is provided between the lifting plate 2 and the tilting plate 6. Specifically, the trolley frame 1 can move on the track. When it moves to the front of the mold to be cast, the lifting mechanism starts, driving the lifting plate 2 to lift the ladle 7. The drive motor 3 starts, driving the drive gear 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the internal gear 5 to rotate, causing the ladle 7 to tilt forward, pouring molten steel into the mold.
[0019] The ladle 7 is symmetrically provided with placement shafts 14 on both sides in the width direction, and the placement shafts 14 cooperate with the placement grooves 9; the ladle 7 is placed in the placement grooves 9 through the placement shafts 14.
[0020] The placement mechanism includes a placement plate 8, which is fixedly connected to the side of the tilting plate 6. Placement slots 9 are provided on both sides of the placement plate 8 in the width direction. Specifically, the ladle 7 is placed on the two placement plates 8 and placed in the placement slots 9 by the placement shaft 14. The placement shaft 14 can also be lifted by the lifting mechanism.
[0021] The two placement plates 8 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 10.
[0022] The placement slot 9 has a J-shaped structure; specifically, the long side of the J-shaped structure is located in the tilting direction of the ladle, which serves as a limit when tilting.
[0023] The lifting plate 2 and the internal gear 5 are semi-circular rings, and the tilting plate 6 is a semi-circular structure.
[0024] The auxiliary mechanism includes an auxiliary wheel 11, which is rotatably connected to an axle 12. The axle 12 is circumferentially distributed on the lifting plate 2. The rim of the auxiliary wheel 11 contacts the edge of the tilting plate 6. Specifically, when the internal gear 5 drives the tilting plate 6 to rotate, the auxiliary wheel 11 that is in contact with the tilting plate 6 also rotates, reducing friction and providing some support.
[0025] A pouring spout 13 is provided at one end of the ladle 7; specifically, the pouring spout 13 can more conveniently pour molten steel.
[0026] The lifting platform 2 and the tilting platform 6 are equipped with protective covers 15.
[0027] The lifting mechanism is a hydraulic cylinder 16. The fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder 16 passes vertically through the trolley frame 1, and the free end of the hydraulic cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 2. Specifically, two hydraulic cylinders 16 are set on each side. After the molten steel pouring structure is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 16 drives the ladle 7 to descend.
