[0030] The chute mechanism includes a mounting plate 16, four chute components 17 movably mounted on the top of the mounting plate 16, with each pair of chute components 17 forming a casting assembly. A fixing frame 14 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 16. An auxiliary wheel 15, matching the upper guide rail 6, is located on one side of the bottom of the fixing frame 14. A travel protection cover 13 is located on the outside of the fixing frame 14, outside the guide rail assembly. A travel wheel box 10 is located at the bottom of the fixing frame 14. Travel wheels 11, matching the lower guide rail 2, are rotatably mounted on both sides of the travel wheel box 10. Side wheels 12, matching the side guide rails 5, are rotatably mounted at both ends of the travel wheel box 10. The side wheels 12, travel wheels 11, and travel wheel box 10 are all located inside the travel protection cover 13. The mounting plate 16... A symmetrically distributed locking element 21 is rotatably mounted on the top, and the locking element 21 is located near the discharge port of the two chute parts 17 of each casting assembly. The locking element 21 is connected to the mounting plate 16 by locking screws. A first support plate 22 and a second support plate 23 are arranged at the center of the top of the mounting plate 16. An adjusting screw 24 is rotatably mounted inside the first support plate 22. A first pressure plate 25 is movably mounted at the end of the adjusting screw 24 away from the second support plate 23. A second pressure plate 26 is movably mounted at both ends of the second support plate 23. Both the first pressure plate 25 and the second pressure plate 26 exert pressure on one side of the two chute parts 17 that are close to each other in the two casting assemblies. Side plates 18 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the top of the mounting plate 16. A rotatable locking element is rotatably mounted inside the side plate 18. Each screw 19 has a top block 20 at one end near the chute 17, and the top block 20 presses against the other side of the two chute components 17 that are far apart in the two sets of casting assemblies. An end pressure plate 27 is movably mounted on the top of the mounting plate 16, and one side of the end pressure plate 27 contacts the end of the chute 17 away from the discharge port. The chute 17 is used to guide the casting liquid. The four chute components 17 are oriented in a divergent pattern, with the chute components 17 in the two sets of casting assemblies being symmetrical in pairs, both close to and far apart. The mounting plate 16 and the end pressure plate 27, as well as the second support plate 23 and the second pressure plate 26, are all fixed with bolts. When installing the chute component 17, the position and orientation of the chute component 17 can be adjusted first, and then the end pressure plate can be adjusted. 27. The position adjustment of the second pressure plate 26 allows it to press and position the side wall of the chute component 17. Rotating the adjusting screw 24 adjusts the position of the first pressure plate 25, so that the first pressure plate 25 abuts against one side of the two chute components 17 that are close to each other in the two sets of casting assemblies. Adjusting the locking piece 21 positions the two chute components 17 in each set of casting assemblies. After adjusting the locking piece 21, tightening the locking screw secures it. Finally, rotating the first screw 19 drives the top block 20 to move, causing the top block 20 to press against the surfaces of the two chute components 17 that are far apart in the two sets of casting assemblies. Through the cooperation of the above structure, the chute component 17 can be flexibly adjusted while also ensuring its stability during use. Because the chute component 17 is relatively heavy...Auxiliary wheels 15 are provided at the lower part of the fixed frame 14, respectively set on the same side of the three support square tubes of the fixed frame 14. Together with the upper guide rail 6, they provide support and guidance. The fixed frame 14 and the traveling wheel box 10 are fixed together with bolts. Side wheels 12 are provided at both the front and rear of the traveling wheel box 10. The side guide rails 5, symmetrically arranged on the side of the upper guide rail 3 that are close to each other, serve as guide rails for the side wheels 12, providing guidance and limiting, thus buffering large-amplitude swings and preventing tipping to some extent. The traveling wheel 11 is located between the lower guide rail 2 and the upper guide rail 3, guiding and limiting large-amplitude swings, also preventing tipping, greatly improving the stability of the device during movement.

[0031] In this embodiment, specifically, the mounting plate 16, the second support plate 23, and the first pressure plate 25 are respectively provided with waist grooves 28 for adjustment of the end pressure plate 27, the second pressure plate 26, and the adjusting screw 24. The opening of the waist grooves 28 ensures that the end pressure plate 27, the second pressure plate 26, and the first pressure plate 25 can be finely adjusted, thereby ensuring that the surfaces of the three sets can make full contact with the chute component 17, thereby improving the fixing effect of the chute component 17.

[0032] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
