Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum ingot production, and in particular to a slag removal device for aluminum ingot casting. Background Technology

[0002] In the aluminum ingot casting process, as the molten aluminum cools and solidifies in the mold, a layer of oxide slag and other impurities forms on the surface. If this slag is not removed promptly and thoroughly, it will not only affect the surface quality of the aluminum ingot, causing surface defects and porosity, and reducing the yield of the finished product, but may also cause problems in subsequent processing, such as affecting the mechanical properties of the aluminum ingot. Traditional aluminum ingot casting slag removal methods mostly rely on manual operation, with workers using simple tools to manually remove the slag from the surface of the molten aluminum. This method is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also difficult to guarantee the uniformity and thoroughness of slag removal due to the subjectivity and instability of manual operation. At the same time, during manual slag removal, workers are exposed to high temperatures for extended periods, facing safety risks such as burns. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a slag removal device for aluminum ingot casting.

[0004] This utility model provides a slag removal device for aluminum ingot casting, including a support 1 and guide plates 5 symmetrically arranged on the support 1. A servo motor 2 is mounted on the support 1. A screw 3, which is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 2 and arranged laterally, is mounted on the support 1. A screw block 4, which slides along the length of the support 1, is screwed to the screw 3. Sliding blocks 6 are symmetrically mounted on the front and rear sides of the screw block 4 and move vertically. Slag removal components are mounted on the two sliding blocks 6 and slide along the guide groove of the guide plate 5. The guide groove is composed of two horizontal sections connected by inclined sections arranged symmetrically on the left and right.

[0005] Furthermore, the right inclined section of the guide channel is elastically and telescopically provided with an inclined block 12 that cooperates with the slag removal component.

[0006] Furthermore, the slag removal assembly includes a sliding column 7 that is longitudinally connected to the slider 6 and slidably fitted along the guide groove. An inclined frame 8 is connected to the sliding column 7, and a slag scraper 10 is provided on the inclined frame 8.

[0007] Furthermore, a hinge member 9 is hinged to the bottom of the tilting frame 8, and a torsion spring is provided between the hinge member 9 and the tilting frame 8. The slag shovel plate 10 is connected to the hinge member 9.

[0008] Furthermore, a stop bar 11 is rotatably adjustable on the right side of the bracket 1.

[0009] Furthermore, the stop bar 11 is locked to the bracket 1 by a locking bolt.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: The screw automatically drives the slider and slag removal component to move laterally, allowing the slag removal component to move along the guide groove for slag removal, improving efficiency and stability; the servo motor drives the screw to rotate, thereby causing the screw block to move laterally along the length of the support, stably controlling the operation of the slag removal component and improving the efficiency and continuity of the slag removal work; after tilting downwards, the slag removal component moves horizontally to the right and then tilts upwards again, allowing it to be tilted into the molten aluminum to scrape off slag and then detach from the molten aluminum to discard the residue. The slag removal component then returns to its original position along the upper horizontal section; the tilted frame... The device allows the slag-shoveling plate to tilt and shovel slag during horizontal movement, inserting it downwards into the molten aluminum. The sliding column pushes the inclined block to the far right of the right inclined section, and the inclined block pops out to reset and support the sliding column. The sliding column moves to the left along the upper horizontal section to reset, and the sliding column will not fall down the right inclined section under the support of the inclined block. The torsion spring setting allows the hinge and slag-shoveling plate to rotate and reset. When the hinge and slag-shoveling plate move to the right, they will collide with the stop bar. When the hinge rotates, the slag-shoveling plate vibrates and throws slag. When the slag-shoveling plate moves to the left to reset, the slag-shoveling plate will disengage from the stop bar and reset under the action of the torsion spring. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0018] See Figures 1 to 5This utility model provides a slag removal device for aluminum ingot casting, which includes a support 1 and guide plates 5 symmetrically arranged on the support 1. The support can move back and forth under the drive of a drive device to adapt to the movement of the aluminum mold on the conveyor belt. A servo motor 2 is provided on the support 1, and a screw 3 is rotatably arranged on the support 1, keyed to the output shaft of the servo motor 2 and arranged laterally. A screw block 4 that slides along the length direction of the support 1 is screwed to the screw 3. The servo motor drives the screw to rotate, thereby driving the screw block to move laterally along the length direction of the support, stably controlling the operation of the slag removal component, improving the efficiency and continuity of the slag removal work. Sliding blocks 6 are symmetrically and vertically slidably arranged on the front and rear sides of the screw block 4. Slag removal components are arranged on the two sliding blocks 6 along the guide groove of the guide plate 5. The guide groove is composed of two horizontal sections connected by symmetrically arranged inclined sections. An inclined block 12 that cooperates with the slag removal component is elastically and telescopically arranged on the right inclined section of the guide groove. The screw drives the screw block, along with the slider and the slag removal component, to move to the right. The slag removal component moves along the guide groove of the guide plate. After tilting downwards, the slag removal component moves horizontally to the right and then tilts upwards again. The slag removal component can be tilted into the molten aluminum to scrape off the slag and then detach from the molten aluminum to pour off the residue. Then the slag removal component returns to its original position along the upper horizontal section. The inclined block prevents the slag removal component from falling down along the right inclined section during the process of moving to the far right and returning, which helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of the slag removal work.

[0019] See Figure 1 , Figure 5 The slag removal assembly includes a sliding column 7 longitudinally connected to the slider 6 and slidably fitted along the guide groove. An inclined frame 8 is connected to the sliding column 7, and a slag-scraping plate 10 is provided on the inclined frame 8. The inclined frame allows the slag-scraping plate to tilt and scrape slag during translation, inserting the slag-scraping plate downward into the molten aluminum, and then translating again to scrape slag. Then, the upward-tilting slag-scraping plate leaves the molten aluminum, the sliding column pushes open the inclined block to the rightmost side of the right inclined section, the inclined block pops out and resets to support the sliding column, and the sliding column moves to the left along the upper horizontal section to reset. The sliding column will not fall down the right inclined section under the support of the inclined block.

[0020] The bottom of the tilting frame 8 is hinged to a hinge member 9, and a torsion spring is provided between the hinge member 9 and the tilting frame 8. The slag shovel plate 10 is connected to the hinge member 9. The torsion spring allows the hinge member and the slag shovel plate to rotate and return to their original positions. There are three slag shovel plates.

[0021] A stop bar 11 is provided on the right side of the bracket 1 for rotatable adjustment. When the hinge and the slag shovel plate move to the right, they will collide with the stop bar. When the hinge rotates, the slag shovel plate vibrates and throws slag. When the slag shovel plate moves to the left to reset, the slag shovel plate will disengage from the stop bar and reset under the action of the torsion spring.

[0022] The stop bar 11 is locked to the bracket 1 by locking bolts. The collision distance between the stop bar and the hinge and the slag shovel plate is adjusted by adjusting the locking bolts, thereby adjusting the vibration degree of the slag shovel plate.

[0023] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
