[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the left side of the transverse conduit is an arc surface, and the top end of the flange interface and the bottom end of the collecting funnel are fixedly connected.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the device for quickly cleaning aluminum dross from a plate filter box using compressed air not only achieves the function of quickly cleaning the filter plates of the plate filter box, but also achieves the function of increasing the sealing performance and preventing aluminum dross from splashing.
[0016] (1) By setting a bottom support frame, ceramic filter plate slot, collection funnel, top pressure plate, square inner cavity, sealing plate, airflow nozzle, air pipe inlet, soft air pipe and high pressure air pump, when in use, the ceramic filter plate of the plate filter box is removed, and the side of the filter plate with aluminum slag is inserted into the ceramic filter plate slot of the bottom support frame with the side facing down. The electric cylinder pushes the sliding frame down, the top pressure plate is attached to the surface of the bottom support frame, the sealing plate is attached to the surface of the ceramic filter plate, and the high pressure air pump continuously pumps air into the square inner cavity of the top pressure plate through the soft air pipe. The air pressure in the square inner cavity increases continuously, and the airflow nozzle at the bottom of the sealing plate sprays out compressed air. The compressed air passes quickly through the pores in the ceramic filter plate and pushes out the aluminum slag at the bottom of the filter plate, causing it to fall into the collection funnel, thus realizing the function of quickly cleaning the filter plate of the plate filter box;

[0018] (3) By setting up a material basket, flange interface, horizontal guide tube, cleaning cover and slag outlet, when in use, the aluminum slag on the filter plate falls downward and has a certain speed under the blowing of high pressure airflow. Under the collection funnel, it rushes down quickly. The arc surface of the horizontal guide tube changes its vertical movement path to horizontal. After the aluminum slag particles hit the cleaning cover, they fall down along the slag outlet. The material basket receives the falling aluminum slag particles. The kinetic energy of the aluminum slag particles after the impact is reduced, and they are not easy to splash around, thus realizing the function of preventing aluminum slag splashing.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-4 A device for quickly cleaning aluminum slag from a plate filter box using compressed air includes a bottom support frame 1. Four sets of vertical support rods 2 are vertically fixedly connected to the top left side of the bottom support frame 1. A top support frame 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the four sets of vertical support rods 2. Two sets of electric cylinders 6 are installed inside the top support frame 5. A sliding frame 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric cylinders 6. Sliding sleeves 4 are fixedly connected to the inside of the four corners of the sliding frame 3. A controller 16 is installed on the top right side of the bottom support frame 1. A bottom shelf 18 is horizontally fixedly connected between the two sides inside the bottom support frame 1. A cleaning component for quickly cleaning aluminum slag from the filter plate is provided at the bottom of the sliding frame 3.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 A device for quickly cleaning aluminum slag from a plate filter box using compressed air also includes a cleaning component. The cleaning component includes a top pressure plate 10, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of a sliding frame 3. A ceramic filter plate slot 8 is provided at the middle position of the top of a bottom support frame 7. A collection funnel 9 is welded to the bottom of the bottom support frame 7. A square inner cavity 11 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the top pressure plate 10. A sealing plate 12 is fixedly connected at the middle position of the bottom of the top pressure plate 10. Multiple airflow nozzles 13 are provided inside the sealing plate 12. An air pipe inlet 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top pressure plate 10. A high-pressure air pump 17 is installed on the right side of the top of the bottom shelf 18. A flexible air pipe 15 is movably connected between the air pipe inlet 14 and the high-pressure air pump 17.
[0027] The bottom support frame 7 and the collecting funnel 9 are internally connected. The vertical center lines of the bottom support frame 7 and the top pressure plate 10 coincide. The airflow nozzle 13 passes through the upper and lower ends of the sealing plate 12. The square inner cavity 11, the sealing plate 12, and the air pipe inlet 14 are internally connected. The bottom ends of the top pressure plate 10 and the sealing plate 12 are flush. The vertical center lines of the bottom support frame 7, the top pressure plate 10, and the sealing plate 12 coincide. The aluminum dross on the filter plate is quickly cleaned by compressed air.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the aluminum slag-containing side of the filter plate is inserted into the ceramic filter plate slot 8 of the bottom support frame 7 with the side facing down. The electric cylinder 6 pushes the sliding frame 3 down, and the top pressure plate 10 is attached to the surface of the bottom support frame 7. The sealing plate 12 is attached to the surface of the ceramic filter plate. The high-pressure air pump 17 continuously pumps air into the square inner cavity 11 of the top pressure plate 10 through the soft air pipe 15. The air pressure in the square inner cavity 11 continuously increases, and compressed air is ejected from the airflow nozzle 13 at the bottom of the sealing plate 12. The compressed air quickly passes through the pores in the ceramic filter plate, pushing out the aluminum slag at the bottom of the filter plate and causing it to fall into the collection funnel 9.
[0029] The outer ring of the bottom support frame 7 is glued with a first sealing ring 19, and the outer ring of the bottom end of the top pressure plate 10 is glued with a second sealing ring 20. The shape and size of the bottom end of the first sealing ring 19 and the shape and size of the top end of the second sealing ring 20 are matched. The positions and dimensions of the first sealing ring 19 and the second sealing ring 20 correspond one-to-one, which increases the sealing performance of the joint.
[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first sealing ring 19 at the bottom of the top pressure plate 10 and the second sealing ring 20 at the top of the bottom support frame 7 are fitted together, and the contact surfaces of the two sets of sealing rings mesh to increase the sealing performance and prevent insufficient air pressure caused by airflow leakage.
[0031] A horizontal guide tube 23 is provided below the collecting funnel 9. A flange interface 22 is welded to the top of the horizontal guide tube 23. A cleaning cover 24 is threaded to the left side of the horizontal guide tube 23. A slag outlet 25 is welded to the right side of the bottom of the horizontal guide tube 23. A material basket 21 is placed horizontally on the left side of the top of the bottom shelf 18. The left side of the horizontal guide tube 23 is curved. The top of the flange interface 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collecting funnel 9 to prevent aluminum slag particles from splashing.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the arc surface of the transverse guide 23 changes the vertical movement path of the aluminum slag particles to the transverse direction. After the aluminum slag particles hit the cleaning cover 24, they fall down along the slag outlet 25. The material basket 21 receives the falling aluminum slag particles. The kinetic energy of the aluminum slag particles is reduced after the impact, making them less likely to splash around.
[0033] Working Principle: In use, the ceramic filter plate of the plate filter box is first removed, with the side containing aluminum slag facing down, and inserted into the ceramic filter plate slot 8 of the bottom support frame 7. The electric cylinder 6 pushes the sliding frame 3 downwards, causing the top pressure plate 10 to adhere to the surface of the bottom support frame 7, and the sealing plate 12 to adhere to the surface of the ceramic filter plate. The high-pressure air pump 17 continuously pumps air into the square inner cavity 11 of the top pressure plate 10 through the flexible air pipe 15. As the air pressure inside the square inner cavity 11 continuously increases, compressed air is ejected from the airflow nozzle 13 at the bottom of the sealing plate 12. The compressed air quickly travels along the pores inside the ceramic filter plate, pushing out the aluminum slag at the bottom of the filter plate and causing it to fall into the collection funnel 9. As the top pressure plate 10 adheres to the surface of the bottom support frame 7, the first sealing ring 19 at the bottom of the top pressure plate 10 and the second sealing ring 20 at the top of the bottom support frame 7 adhere to each other. The contact surfaces of the two sets of sealing rings mesh, increasing the sealing performance and preventing insufficient air pressure caused by airflow leakage. The aluminum dross on the filter plate falls downwards, and under the blowing of the high-pressure airflow, it has a certain speed. Under the collection funnel 9, it rushes down quickly. The arc surface of the transverse guide tube 23 changes its vertical movement path to the transverse. After the aluminum dross particles hit the cleaning cover 24, they fall down along the dross outlet 25. The material basket 21 receives the falling aluminum dross particles. The kinetic energy of the aluminum dross particles is reduced after the impact, and they are not easy to splash around.
[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
