Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum ingot production technology, and in particular to a feeding device for aluminum ingot production with a structure to prevent aluminum liquid from splashing. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum is a silvery-white metal, the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen and silicon. With a low density, only 34.61% that of iron and 30.33% that of copper, it is often called a light metal. Aluminum is the world's second most produced and consumed non-ferrous metal after steel. Its density is only 2.7103 g / cm³, about one-third the density of steel, copper, or brass. Due to its light weight, aluminum is frequently used in the manufacture of automobiles, trains, subways, ships, airplanes, rockets, spacecraft, and other land, sea, and air transportation vehicles to reduce weight and increase payload.
[0003] In the production of aluminum ingots, raw materials need to be added to the melting furnace through a feeding device. However, the current feeding device has a relatively simple structure and cannot slow down the descent speed of the raw materials during the feeding process. This can lead to aluminum molten material splashing when the raw materials enter the melting tank, which not only wastes resources but also poses a significant safety hazard. At the same time, the current feeding device cannot adjust the height, which is inconvenient when feeding materials to melting tanks of different heights and has a limited range of applications. Therefore, this application proposes a feeding device for aluminum ingot production with an anti-aluminum molten material splashing structure to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing devices that cause aluminum liquid to splash due to the rapid falling of raw materials and that are not applicable to melting tanks of different heights, this utility model provides a feeding device for aluminum ingot production with an anti-aluminum liquid splashing structure.
[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a feeding device for aluminum ingot production with an anti-aluminum liquid splashing structure, including a feeding tank, a buffer component is provided inside the feeding tank, an installation base is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the middle part of the feeding tank, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to both sides of the installation base, a support leg is provided at the outer end of the connecting plate, an adjustment component is provided at the connection between the connecting plate and the support leg, and a base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support leg.
[0006] Optionally, the buffer assembly includes two sets of buffer plates adapted to the size of the feeding tank.
[0007] Optionally, the buffer assembly further includes a mounting block, a first slide groove, a through groove, a connecting rod, a first slider, a first spring, and a damper. The mounting block is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the feeding tank. The first slide groove is formed inside the mounting block. The through groove passes through the inner wall of one side of the first slide groove. The connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outside of the buffer plate and extends through the through groove into the inside of the first slide groove. The first slider is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod and slidably connected to the first slide groove. The first spring is installed inside the first slide groove and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first slide groove on the side away from the connecting rod and the side of the first slide groove on the side away from the connecting rod. The damper is located at the center of the first spring and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first slide groove on the side away from the connecting rod and the side of the first slide groove on the side away from the connecting rod.
[0008] Optionally, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment groove, an adjustment block, a fixing hole, a cavity, a top rod, and a fixing rod. The adjustment groove is formed on the inner surface of the support leg. The adjustment block is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting plate and slidably connected to the adjustment groove. Several sets of fixing holes are provided and are formed on the inner wall of one side of the adjustment groove. The cavity is L-shaped and extends through the connecting plate and the adjustment block. The inner ends of the top rod and the fixing rod are both hemispherical and movably connected to the cavity. The size of the fixing rod is adapted to the fixing hole.
[0009] Optionally, the adjustment assembly further includes a second slide groove, a second slider, and a second spring. The second slide groove is formed on the inner wall of the cavity and is located on the outer periphery of the fixed rod. The second slider is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the fixed rod and slidably connected to the second slide groove. The second spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed rod and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second slider on the side away from the center of the cavity and the side of the slide groove on the side away from the center of the cavity.
[0010] Optionally, the adjusting assembly further includes a third slide groove, a third slider, a third spring, and a pull block. The third slide groove is formed on the inner wall of the cavity and is located on the outer periphery of the push rod. The third slider is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the push rod and slidably connected to the third slide groove. The third spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the push rod and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third slider on the side away from the center of the cavity and the side of the third slide groove on the side away from the center of the cavity. The elastic force of the third spring is greater than that of the second spring. The pull block is fixedly connected to the outer end of the push rod.
[0011] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. This utility model incorporates a buffer assembly. When an aluminum ingot contacts a buffer plate, the initial gap between the buffer plates is smaller than the aluminum ingot, causing the ingot to push the buffer plates to the sides. At this time, the connecting rod drives the first slider to slide along the first groove to the sides and compress the first spring. When the gap between the buffer plates matches the aluminum ingot, the aluminum ingot can fall from between the buffer plates into the melting tank. After the aluminum ingot has completely fallen, the first spring rebounds and drives the buffer plate to move inward through the first slider until it resets, preparing for the next aluminum ingot feeding. This design allows the device to slow down the falling speed of the raw material, thereby preventing the aluminum liquid from splashing due to the excessively fast falling speed.
[0013] 2. This utility model features an adjustment component. Pulling the pull block outward causes it to slide the third slider along the third groove via the top rod, compressing the third spring. When the top rod moves away from the fixed rod, the second spring rebounds and drives the fixed rod to move inward via the second slider. When the fixed rod moves out of the fixed hole, the adjusting block slides along the adjustment groove, causing the feeding tank to rise and fall synchronously via the connecting plate and mounting base. When the height of the feeding tank matches the height of the dissolving tank's inlet, the pull block is released, the third spring rebounds, and the top rod moves inward via the third slider. When the top rod contacts the fixed rod, it pushes the fixed rod outward. When the fixed rod is inserted into the fixed hole at the current height, the feeding tank is fixed at the current height. This design allows the device to feed dissolving tanks of different heights, thus broadening its applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.
[0021] A feeding device for aluminum ingot production with an anti-aluminum-molten-splash structure includes a feeding tank 1, a buffer component 2 inside the feeding tank 1, a mounting base 3 fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the middle part of the feeding tank 1, connecting plates 4 fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting base 3, a support leg 5 provided at the outer end of the connecting plate 4, an adjustment component 6 provided at the connection between the connecting plate 4 and the support leg 5, and a base 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support leg 5.
[0022] It should be noted that the buffer component 2 can slow down the falling speed of the raw material, thereby preventing it from splashing aluminum due to excessive speed, and the adjustment component 6 can adjust the height of the feeding tank 1 so that it can be used for melting tanks of different heights.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the buffer assembly 2 includes a buffer plate 21, which is provided in two sets and is adapted to the size of the feeding tank 1.
[0024] It should be noted that the initial spacing of the buffer plates 21 is smaller than the size of the raw material, thereby slowing down the falling speed of the raw material.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the buffer assembly 2 also includes a mounting block 22, a first slide groove 23, a through groove 24, a connecting rod 25, a first slider 26, a first spring 27, and a damper 28. The mounting block 22 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the feeding tank 1. The first slide groove 23 is opened inside the mounting block 22. The through groove 24 passes through the inner wall of one side of the first slide groove 23. The connecting rod 25 is fixedly connected to the outside of the buffer plate 21 and extends through the through groove 24 into the inside of the first slide groove 23. The first slider 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 25 and is slidably connected to the first slide groove 23. The first spring 27 is installed inside the first slide groove 23 and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first slider 26 away from the connecting rod 25 and the inner wall of the first slide groove 23 away from the connecting rod 25. The damper 28 is located at the center of the first spring 27 and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first slider 26 away from the connecting rod 25 and the inner wall of the first slide groove 23 away from the connecting rod 25.
[0026] It should be noted that when the raw material falls, because the spacing between the buffer plates 21 is smaller than the raw material, the raw material will push the buffer plates 21 to both sides. At this time, the connecting rod 25 drives the first slider 26 to slide along the first slide groove 23 to both sides and squeeze the first spring 27. When the spacing between the buffer plates 21 is matched with the raw material, the raw material can fall between the buffer plates 21. During this process, the damper 28 will slow down the contraction or rebound speed of the first spring 27, thereby avoiding excessive impact force when the raw material contacts the buffer plate 21, which would cause the first spring 27 to contract a large distance, thus preventing the raw material from being decelerated.
[0027] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly 6 includes an adjustment groove 61, an adjustment block 62, a fixing hole 63, a cavity 64, a top rod 65, and a fixing rod 66. The adjustment groove 61 is opened on the inner surface of the support leg 5. The adjustment block 62 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting plate 4 and slidably connected to the adjustment groove 61. Several sets of fixing holes 63 are provided and are opened on one side of the inner wall of the adjustment groove 61. The cavity 64 is L-shaped and passes through the connecting plate 4 and the adjustment block 62. The inner ends of the top rod 65 and the fixing rod 66 are both hemispherical and movably connected to the cavity 64. The size of the fixing rod 66 is adapted to the fixing hole 63.
[0028] It should be noted that by removing the fixing rod 66 from the fixing hole 63, the adjusting block 62 can be slid along the adjusting groove 61 to adjust the height of the feeding tank 1. By inserting the fixing rod 66 into the fixing hole 63, the feeding tank 1 can be fixed at the current height.
[0029] like Figure 5As shown, the adjustment assembly 6 also includes a second slide groove 67, a second slider 68, and a second spring 69. The second slide groove 67 is opened in the inner wall of the cavity 64 and is located on the outer periphery of the fixed rod 66. The second slider 68 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the fixed rod 66 and slidably connected to the second slide groove 67. The second spring 69 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the fixed rod 66 and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second slider 68 on the side away from the center of the cavity 64 and the side of the slide groove 67 on the side away from the center of the cavity 64.
[0030] It should be noted that pulling the fixing rod 66 outward will cause the second slider 68 to slide outward along the second slide groove 67 and compress the second spring 69. Releasing the fixing rod 66 will cause the second spring 69 to rebound, which will then drive the fixing rod 66 to move inward through the second slider 68.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the adjustment assembly 6 also includes a third slide groove 610, a third slider 611, a third spring 612, and a pull block 613. The third slide groove 610 is opened in the inner wall of the cavity 64 and is located on the outer periphery of the top rod 65. The third slider 611 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the top rod 65 and slidably connected to the third slide groove 610. The third spring 612 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the top rod 65 and its two ends are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third slider 611 on the side away from the center of the cavity 64 and the side of the third slide groove 610 on the side away from the center of the cavity 64. The elastic force of the third spring 612 is greater than the elastic force of the second spring 69. The pull block 613 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the top rod 65.
[0032] It should be noted that pulling the pull block 613 outward causes it to drive the third slider 611 to slide outward along the third slide groove 610 via the top rod 65, thus squeezing the third spring 612. Releasing the pull block 613 causes the third spring 612 to rebound, which in turn drives the top rod 65 to move inward via the third slider 611.
[0033] In specific application scenarios, the device is first moved to both sides of the dissolving tank and the feeding tank 1 is positioned directly above the inlet. Then, the raw material is added to the feeding tank 1. When the raw material contacts the buffer plate 21, because the initial spacing of the buffer plate 21 is smaller than the raw material, the raw material will push the buffer plate 21 to both sides. At this time, the connecting rod 25 drives the first slider 26 to slide along the first groove 23 to both sides and compress the first spring 27. When the spacing of the buffer plate 21 matches the raw material, the raw material can fall from between the buffer plates 21 into the dissolving tank. During this process, the damper 28 slows down the contraction or rebound speed of the first spring 27, thereby preventing excessive impact when the raw material contacts the buffer plate 21, which would cause the first spring 27 to contract too far, thus preventing the raw material from being decelerated. After the raw material has completely fallen, the first spring 27 rebounds and drives the buffer plate 21 to move inwards until it returns to its original position via the first slider 26, ready for the next raw material feeding. When feeding dissolving tanks of different heights, the material is pushed outwards... Pulling the pull block 613 causes it to slide the third slider 611 outward along the third slide groove 610 via the top rod 65, compressing the third spring 612. When the top rod 65 moves away from the fixed rod 66, the second spring 69 rebounds and drives the fixed rod 66 inward via the second slider 68. When the fixed rod 66 moves out of the fixed hole 63, the adjusting block 62 slides along the adjusting groove 61, causing it to drive the feeding tank 1 to rise and fall synchronously via the connecting plate 4 and the mounting base 3. When the height of the feeding tank 1 is... When the height of the dissolving tank inlet is matched, release the pull block 613. The third spring 612 rebounds and drives the push rod 65 to move inward through the third slider 611. When the push rod 65 contacts the fixed rod 66, since the elastic force of the third spring 612 is greater than the elastic force of the second spring 69, the push rod 65 will push the fixed rod 66 outward and squeeze the second spring 69 through the second slider 68. When the fixed rod 66 is inserted into the fixed hole 63 at the current height, the feeding tank 1 can be fixed at the current height.

Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
