Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of continuous casting machine technology, and in particular to a continuous casting machine for processing copper rods. Background Technology

[0002] Continuous casting machines for copper rod processing are key equipment in copper production, primarily used to continuously process molten copper into copper rods through crystallization, traction, and cooling processes. With industrial development, the demands for copper rod quality and production efficiency are constantly increasing, posing challenges to traditional continuous casting machines in terms of adaptability, production efficiency, and equipment stability.

[0003] Existing continuous casting machines for copper rod processing typically employ a design with fixed traction force and winding diameter. The traction components are mostly composed of rigid structures, making it impossible to dynamically adjust the traction force according to the size and condition of the copper rod. Cooling systems often use unidirectional cooling water spraying, resulting in uneven cooling and uneven stress distribution within the copper rod. Connecting components usually rely on bolt fixing or simple clamping structures, lacking flexibility and failing to adapt to the processing requirements of copper rods of different specifications.

[0004] In existing technologies, the traction components lack self-adaptive capabilities and cannot dynamically adjust the traction force according to the size and condition of the copper rod. This necessitates frequent manual adjustments to the traction device when processing copper rods of different sizes, increasing downtime and reducing production efficiency. Furthermore, a fixed traction force can cause surface damage or internal stress concentration in the copper rod, affecting product quality. Therefore, a continuous casting machine for copper rod processing is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0036] Working principle: When using the continuous casting machine for copper rod processing, the copper plate is first poured into the melting furnace 1 to melt it. Then, it is crystallized in the crystallization furnace 2, and then pulled through the water tank 3. Next, it is straightened by the straightening machine 4, and the copper rod is collected by the winding device on the side wall of the protective cover 5. As the copper rod is pulled, the copper rod collector first drives the rotating wheel 22 on the outer wall to rotate. Then, the rotating wheel 22, under force, drives the empty slot plate 27 on the side wall to move. The force on the empty slot plate 27 then drives the top slider 23 to slide on the outer wall of the slide rail 24. Next, when the hollow plate 27 is subjected to force, the side wall spring 26 will be driven to contract. Then, the contraction of the spring 26 will simultaneously drive the fixed column 21 to slide inside the hollow plate 20. At the same time, the fixed column 21 will move linearly inside the straight line of the hollow plate 20, achieving the effect of adaptive traction of the copper rod. Then, when cooling the copper rod, the coolant inside the water tank 3 is first sucked up through the first connecting pipe 7 through the input end of the water pump 6. Then, the coolant is transmitted to the inside of the nozzle plate 8 through the second connecting pipe 28 through the output end of the water pump 6. The coolant is then dispersed through the nozzle plate 8 to cool the copper rod.

[0037] Subsequently, during the winding process, the output end of the motor 10 drives the chain 11 to rotate. The rotation of the chain 11 drives the internal connecting shaft 29 to rotate. When the connecting shaft 29 is under force, it drives the hollow column 13 at one end to rotate in a circle at the center point of the connecting shaft 29. Then, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 16 drives the connecting plate 15 to move, and the side wall of the connecting plate 15 moves linearly along the center line of the hollow column 13. Next, when the connecting plate 15 is under force, it drives the first rotating rod 14 on the outer wall to rotate. At the same time, when the first rotating rod 14 is under force, it drives the clamping circular plate 19 on one side to rotate. The clamping circular plate 19 under force drives the second rotating rod 17 and the third rotating rod 18 on the side wall to rotate on the outer wall of the hollow column 13. The rotation between the first rotating rod 14, the second rotating rod 17 and the third rotating rod 18 drives the clamping circular plate 19 to spread out, achieving the effect of adjusting the winding diameter. Then, the clamping circular plate 19 is pressed against the inner wall of the drum.
