Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metal smelting technology, and specifically relates to a rare earth metal casting and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] In rare earth metal production, the molten rare earth metal obtained from the smelting furnace needs to be cast into molds to form ingots of predetermined shape and size for subsequent processing and transportation. To improve the cooling rate, one existing method is to set a heat-conducting plate on the outside of the mold, with a cooling chamber inside the heat-conducting plate for the cooling medium to circulate and continuously remove heat from the mold. However, in actual use, it has been found that in order to completely cover the mold, the cooling medium usually needs to flow a certain distance from the inlet to the outlet in the cooling plate. By the time it reaches the outlet, it has already carried a certain amount of heat, which weakens the cooling capacity of the cooling plate at the outlet, resulting in uneven cooling on the surface of the mold. Ultimately, this is reflected in the poor forming effect of the casting inside. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rare earth metal casting and shaping device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a rare earth metal casting and shaping device, including a template. The template includes an upper mold and a lower mold that are spliced ​​together. Cooling components are provided on the outer walls of both the upper mold and the lower mold. A support base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower cooling component. A first circulation component and a second circulation component for cooling the cooling medium are fixedly installed on the outside of the template, and the first circulation component and the second circulation component are connected to each other through a connecting pipe.

[0005] The cooling assembly is used to cool the upper mold and the lower mold.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the cooling assembly further includes a cooling ring tube assembly fixedly connected to the top of the support base for circulating cooling medium. A pair of mounting rings are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both the upper mold and the lower mold. A uniformly distributed and assembled heat-conducting plate is fixedly connected between the pair of mounting rings. The outer wall of the heat-conducting plate is provided with a first snap-fit ​​interface to form a first snap-fit ​​segment. A second snap-fit ​​interface is provided on the first snap-fit ​​segment to form a second snap-fit ​​segment. The first snap-fit ​​segment and the second snap-fit ​​segment make the heat-conducting plate a symmetrical structure. An output port is provided on the second snap-fit ​​segment. An input port is provided on the side of the heat-conducting plate away from the output port.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the cooling ring pipe assembly further includes a pair of output ring pipes arranged vertically on the support base. The outer wall of the output ring pipes is fixedly connected with evenly distributed and corresponding support rods. An input ring pipe is fixedly connected between the support rods. The outer wall of the input ring pipes is fixedly connected with evenly distributed input pipes that are connected to the input port. The outer wall of the output ring pipes is fixedly connected with evenly distributed output pipes that are connected to the output port.

[0008] In the above technical solution, further, an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the input ring pipe, and the inlet pipe is connected to the second circulation component.

[0009] In the above technical solution, further, an outflow pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output ring pipe, and the outflow pipe is connected to the first circulation component.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the heat-conducting plate is further provided with uniformly distributed guide plates fixedly connected inside.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] Several heat-conducting plates are spliced ​​together to form a covering on the outer surfaces of the upper and lower molds. The cooling medium flows through the inlet and outlet ports to remove heat from the outer walls of the upper and lower molds, thus achieving the effect of cooling the upper and lower molds. The inlet and outlet pipes are connected to supply and recover the cooling medium circulating inside the heat-conducting plates, respectively. During the process, the first and second locking sections are set so that when the heat-conducting plates are spliced ​​together, their inlet and outlet ports are close to each other. This allows the cooling medium with good heat absorption capacity injected into one heat-conducting plate to compensate for the area where the cooling medium with poor heat absorption capacity is located on another heat-conducting plate, thereby balancing the cooling and heat absorption effect. This solves the technical problem of uneven cooling effect in the prior art. By setting up the cooling medium flowing inside the heat-conducting plates, it is guided to flow evenly along the guide plate, thereby making full use of its heat absorption capacity and improving the cooling effect.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1-5The rare earth metal casting and shaping device shown includes a template 1, which comprises an upper mold 16 and a lower mold 17 joined together. Cooling components 2 are provided on the outer walls of both the upper mold 16 and the lower mold 17. A support base 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower cooling component 2. A first circulation component 3 and a second circulation component 4 for cooling the cooling medium are fixedly installed on the outside of the template 1, and the first circulation component 3 and the second circulation component 4 are connected by a connecting pipe 6. The cooling component 2 is used to cool the upper mold 16 and the lower mold 17. The cooling component includes a cooling ring pipe assembly for circulating the cooling medium, fixedly connected to the top of the support base 8. A pair of mounting rings 18 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both the upper mold 16 and the lower mold 17. A uniformly distributed and interlocked heat-conducting plate 22 is fixedly connected between the pair of mounting rings 18. The heat-conducting plate 22 has a first locking interface 19 on its outer wall to form a first locking segment, and a second locking interface 20 on the first locking segment to form a second locking segment. The first locking segment and the second locking segment make the heat-conducting plate 22 a pair of... The structure includes an output port 15 on the second snap-fit ​​section and an input port 14 on the side of the heat-conducting plate 22 away from the output port 15. Several heat-conducting plates 22 are spliced ​​together to cover the outer surfaces of the upper mold 16 and the lower mold 17. The flow of cooling medium through the input port 14 and the output port 15 removes heat from the outer walls of the upper mold 16 and the lower mold 17, thus achieving the effect of cooling the upper mold 16 and the lower mold 17. The input ring pipe 9 and the output ring pipe 10, which are connected by the input pipe 12 and the output pipe 13, respectively supply and recover the cooling medium circulating inside the heat-conducting plate 22. During the process, the first snap-fit ​​section and the second snap-fit ​​section are set up so that when the heat-conducting plates 22 are spliced ​​together, the input port 14 and the output port 15 are close to each other. This allows the cooling medium with good heat absorption capacity that has just been injected into the heat-conducting plate 22 to compensate for the area where the cooling medium with poor heat absorption capacity is located on the other heat-conducting plate 22, thereby balancing the cooling and heat absorption effect and solving the technical problem of uneven cooling effect in the prior art.

[0021] The cooling ring pipe assembly includes a pair of output ring pipes 10 arranged vertically on a support base 8. Evenly distributed and corresponding support rods 11 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output ring pipes 10. Input ring pipes 9 are fixedly connected between the support rods 11. Evenly distributed input pipes 12 connected to the input port 14 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the input ring pipes 9. Evenly distributed output pipes 13 connected to the output port 15 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output ring pipes 10. An inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the input ring pipes 9 and is connected to the second circulation component 4. An outlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the output ring pipes 10 and is connected to the first circulation component 3. This design achieves the circulating flow of the cooling medium.

[0022] The heat-conducting plate 22 is fixedly connected to a uniformly distributed guide plate 21. This design allows the cooling medium flowing inside the heat-conducting plate 22 to be guided, so that it flows evenly along the guide plate 21, thereby fully utilizing its heat absorption capacity and improving the cooling effect.

[0023] Working principle:

[0024] Several heat-conducting plates 22 are spliced ​​together to form a covering on the outer surfaces of the upper mold 16 and the lower mold 17. The cooling medium flows through the inlet 14 and outlet 15 to remove heat from the outer walls of the upper mold 16 and the lower mold 17, thus achieving the effect of cooling them. The cooling medium circulating inside the heat-conducting plates 22 is supplied and recovered through the inlet ring pipe 9 and outlet ring pipe 10 connected by the inlet pipe 12 and outlet pipe 13, respectively. During the process, the first and second locking sections ensure that the heat-conducting plates 22 are spliced ​​together... At the same time, the inlet 14 and outlet 15 are brought close to each other, so that the cooling medium with good heat absorption capacity that has just been injected into the heat-conducting plate 22 can compensate for the area where the cooling medium with poor heat absorption capacity is located on the other heat-conducting plate 22, thereby balancing the cooling and heat absorption effect and solving the technical problem of uneven cooling effect in the prior art. By setting 21, the cooling medium flowing inside the heat-conducting plate 22 is guided, so that it flows evenly along the guide plate 21, thereby giving full play to its heat absorption capacity and improving the cooling effect.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model.
