Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum ingot casting technology, specifically to an apparatus for casting aluminum alloy ingots. Background Technology

[0002] In small and medium-sized enterprises producing aluminum sheets, aluminum ingot casting molds are auxiliary tools used to cast aluminum ingots. The aluminum ingot casting molds have grooves, into which molten aluminum is poured. After the molten aluminum cools, aluminum ingots are formed.

[0003] The prior art (CN 221312416 U) discloses an aluminum ingot forming device for aluminum alloy casting. It features multiple U-shaped grooves that can simultaneously hold multiple aluminum ingot molds. During pouring, the ingot molds are sequentially filled with molten metal. After solidification, a wrench is used to rotate the handle to flip the mold and remove the aluminum ingot. This design solves the production requirement of continuous aluminum ingot pouring. The mold frame design incorporates a steel base plate and channel steel, effectively preventing the aluminum ingot from damaging the ground during mold flipping. This invention is simple to manufacture, convenient to operate, reusable, and has low production costs, making it suitable for widespread use.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patent has certain drawbacks in its use. Since each aluminum ingot mold contains a shaped aluminum ingot, it is necessary to manually rotate each one 180 degrees to swap the upper and lower parts of the mold. This results in the aluminum ingot taking a certain amount of time to remove. Furthermore, since the removed aluminum ingot is located inside the mold frame and still has residual heat, it is necessary to manually use tools to push it out, thereby reducing the overall casting efficiency of the aluminum ingot. Therefore, a casting device for aluminum alloy ingots is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an aluminum alloy ingot casting device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background above.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a casting device for aluminum alloy ingots, comprising a U-frame, wherein multiple sets of casting molds are assembled inside the U-frame, and the front and rear ends of the multiple sets of casting molds are provided with flipping components connected to the inner wall of the U-frame, and a guide plate is inclinedly provided inside the U-frame below the casting molds.

[0007] The flipping assembly includes an active bar that slides laterally on the inner walls of the front and rear of the U-frame. The inner wall of the U-frame is equipped with an electric push rod for driving the active bar to slide laterally. The front and rear ends of the casting mold are provided with driven discs that rotate on the inner wall of the U-frame. The curved outer wall of the driven disc is fixed with a traction rope, and the end of the traction rope is fixed to the top of the active bar.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the top of the U-frame is provided with multiple sets of dustproof plates, and the top of the U-frame is provided with two sets of grooves, in which connecting strips fixed to the bottom of the multiple sets of dustproof plates are slidably provided.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a U-shaped strip is sleeved on the outer wall of the active strip near both ends, and the U-shaped strip is fixed to the inner wall of the U-frame.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, a damping shaft is fixed at one end of the driven disk near the inner wall of the U-frame, and the damping shaft is rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the U-frame, with a torsion spring for resetting provided on the outer wall of the damping shaft.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the front and rear ends of the casting mold are fixed with positioning cylinders, and the interior of the positioning cylinders is a polygonal hole state.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, a connecting sleeve is fixed at one end of the driven plate near the casting mold, and a polygonal rod extending into the positioning cylinder is slidably provided inside the connecting sleeve.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the outer wall of the connecting sleeve is provided with bolts for locking the polygonal rod, and a bolt groove is provided at the contact position between the connecting sleeve and the bolt.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0015] This invention allows multiple casting molds to be interchanged simultaneously via a flipping component, causing the internally formed aluminum ingots to detach and slide along the guide plate to the front of the U-frame, making it easy to remove the aluminum ingots. At the same time, the dustproof plate can seal the top of the casting mold to prevent the intrusion of dust and other debris when not in use, making it easy to use directly next time. This improves the efficiency and quality of aluminum ingot casting. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0025] An apparatus for casting aluminum alloy ingots, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a U-frame 100, and multiple sets of casting molds 120 are assembled inside the U-frame 100. The front and rear ends of the multiple sets of casting molds 120 are provided with flipping components 130 connected to the inner wall of the U-frame 100. A guide plate 110 is inclinedly provided inside the U-frame 100 below the casting molds 120.

[0026] The flipping assembly 130 includes an active bar 131 that is laterally slidably disposed on the inner walls of the front and rear of the U-frame 100. The inner wall of the U-frame 100 is equipped with an electric push rod 132 for driving the active bar 131 to slide laterally. The front and rear ends of the casting mold 120 are provided with driven discs 134 that rotate on the inner wall of the U-frame 100. A traction rope 135 is fixed to the curved outer wall of the driven disc 134, and the end of the traction rope 135 is fixed to the top of the active bar 131.

[0027] Multiple sets of dustproof plates 140 are slidably provided on the top of the U-frame 100. Two sets of grooves 101 are opened on the top of the U-frame 100. Connecting strips 141 that are fixed to the bottom of the multiple sets of dustproof plates 140 are slidably provided in the grooves 101.

[0028] Molten aluminum is poured into the casting mold 120. After it cools, the electric push rod 132 is controlled to work. Its telescopic end will drive the active bar 131 to move synchronously. At this time, the traction rope 135 will drag the driven plate 134 to rotate 180 degrees around the connection point with the inner wall of the U frame 100, completing the upper and lower face-to-lower reversal of the casting mold 120. The formed aluminum ingot can be taken out and dropped onto the top of the guide plate 110. Finally, it will slide along the inclined top of the guide plate 110 to the front of the U frame 100. In this way, the demolding process of multiple aluminum ingots can be completed simultaneously. Then, the electric push rod 132 is controlled to make the active bar 131 return to its original position. At this time, the driven plate 134 rotates in the opposite direction and makes the casting mold 120 also return to its original position. At this time, molten aluminum can continue to be poured into the casting mold 120 to continue casting aluminum ingots.

[0029] When the device is not in use, the dustproof plate 140 can be moved laterally. Since the connecting strip 141 is fixed to multiple dustproof plates 140, multiple sets of dustproof plates 140 will move synchronously until the mold opening at the top of the casting mold 120 is sealed to prevent the entry of dust and other debris, ensuring that it can be used directly when casting aluminum ingots next time.

[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 The outer wall of the active strip 131 is fitted with U-strips near both ends, and the U-strips are fixed to the inner wall of the U-frame 100.

[0031] The active bar 131 serves to constrain the movement of the active bar, allowing it to move laterally horizontally in response to the external force applied by the electric push rod 132.

[0032] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 A damping shaft is fixed at one end of the driven disk 134 near the inner wall of the U-frame 100, and the damping shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the U-frame 100. A torsion spring for resetting is provided on the outer wall of the damping shaft.

[0033] When no external force is applied to the driven plate 134, the force of the torsion spring can cause the driven plate 134 to rotate in the opposite direction to restore its original position. At the same time, it can increase the friction between the two and ensure stability when molten aluminum is poured into the casting mold 120.

[0034] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The front and rear ends of the casting mold 120 are fixed with positioning cylinders 121, and the interior of the positioning cylinders 121 is a polygonal hole.

[0035] A connecting sleeve 133 is fixed at one end of the driven plate 134 near the casting mold 120. A polygonal rod 1331 extending into the positioning cylinder 121 is slidably provided inside the connecting sleeve 133.

[0036] The outer wall of the connecting sleeve 133 is provided with a bolt 1332 for locking the polygonal rod 1331, and a bolt groove is provided at the contact position between the connecting sleeve 133 and the bolt 1332.

[0037] By applying external force to the bolt 1332 with a tool to make it rotate, the locking of the polygonal rod 1331 can be released. At this time, external force can be applied to the polygonal rod 1331 on the side closer to the connecting sleeve 133 to make it slide out of the positioning cylinder 121. This releases the locking of the casting mold 120, allowing the damaged casting mold 120 to be disassembled and replaced.

[0038] In use, molten aluminum is poured into the casting mold 120. After it cools, the electric push rod 132 is controlled to work. Its telescopic end will drive the active bar 131 to move synchronously. At this time, the traction rope 135 will drag the driven plate 134 to rotate 180 degrees around the connection point with the inner wall of the U frame 100, completing the upper and lower face-to-lower reversal of the casting mold 120. The formed aluminum ingot can be taken out and dropped onto the top of the guide plate 110. Finally, it will slide along the inclined top of the guide plate 110 to the front of the U frame 100. In this way, the demolding process of multiple aluminum ingots can be completed simultaneously. Then, the electric push rod 132 is controlled to make the active bar 131 return to its original position. At this time, the driven plate 134 rotates in the opposite direction and makes the casting mold 120 also return to its original position. At this time, molten aluminum can continue to be poured into the casting mold 120 to continue casting aluminum ingots.

[0039] When the device is not in use, the dustproof plate 140 can be moved laterally. Since the connecting strip 141 is fixed to multiple dustproof plates 140, multiple sets of dustproof plates 140 will move synchronously until the mold opening at the top of the casting mold 120 is sealed to prevent the entry of dust and other debris, ensuring that it can be used directly when casting aluminum ingots next time.

The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
