For example, steps two and three can be reversed or performed in parallel.

[0021] According to exemplary embodiments of the present application, there is provided an apparatus for separating the die cavity aluminum 302 in an extrusion die 300 to its life, comprising a heating furnace 100, such as a power frequency heating furnace, a heat preservation cover 101, a temperature gauge 102, such as a thermocouple, an inner lining 103, a heating coil 104, an outer insulation layer 105, an outer support 106, an inner support 107, a liquid discharge channel 108, a lower support 109, and a heat preservation cover lifting lug 110.

[0022] The extrusion die 300 with the die cavity aluminum 302 includes a lifting hole 301 and a hollow structure 303. The lifting hole 301 is used for lifting the extrusion die 300. In the hollow structure 303, the die cavity aluminum 302 to be removed is left. More specifically, in order to facilitate the lifting of the die, two threaded holes are punched on the radial sides of the end face of the die, which are called lifting holes 301. When lifting is needed, one end of the lifting rod is screwed into the lifting hole 301, and the other side of the lifting rod is a circular ring for the insertion of the lifting hook, so that the lifting of the extrusion die 300 with the die cavity aluminum 302 can be carried out. Both sides are provided with lifting holes 301, which can realize more stable lifting. The hollow structure 303 is, for example, a flow dividing hole, a welding chamber, a working belt, etc. During the extrusion process, the hollow structure 303 in the extrusion die is filled with aluminum alloy, which is generally called die cavity aluminum 302.

[0023] The heating furnace 100 includes a hollow cylindrical inner liner 103 on the inner side, an outer thermal insulation layer 105 on the outer side, a heating coil 104 between the inner liner 103 and the outer thermal insulation layer 105, and a thermal insulation cover 101 independently provided on the upper side. The thermal insulation cover 101 is welded with a thermal insulation cover lifting lug 110 on the upper side. The height of the inner side containing space on the inner side of the inner liner 103 is at least higher than the height of one extrusion die 300, and preferably at least higher than two or more. In this way, a plurality of extrusion dies 300 can be placed in the inner side containing space.

[0024] The lower support 109 includes a support body for supporting the outer support 106 of the heating furnace 100 and an inner support 107 for supporting the weight of the extrusion die 300 with the die cavity aluminum 302.

[0025] The support body is integrally formed as a bottom-opened cylinder body in an inverted state, and the end edge of the cylinder body can be placed on the ground or a platform, etc. In the inverted state, the bottom surface around the bottom opening can be used to place the heating furnace 100.

[0026] The inner support 107 is preferably integrally formed with the bottom opening side of the cylinder body of the support body in a hollow cylinder form by integral forming or welding, etc., and the inner side of the hollow cylinder constitutes a liquid discharge channel 108 communicating with the inner containing space of the heating furnace 100, serving as a channel for the downward flow of the heated and melted aluminum alloy. The upper end of the hollow cylinder is used to support the extrusion die 300 with the die cavity aluminum 302.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 The outer support 106 is provided on the bottom of the cylinder body of the support body in a predetermined spaced-apart manner from the inner support 107, for example, can be integrally provided in two layers of upper and lower sides of the support body by connection or mounting means such as welding, bolt fixing, etc.; as shown in Figure 3As shown, it can also be integrally formed as a sleeve structure with an upper outer flange 123 (corresponding to the outer support 106). The upper outer flange 123 overlaps the periphery of the bottom of the support body's cylinder, and the inner side of the outer support 106 is spaced out from the outer side of the inner support 107, so that the sleeve structure is located at the bottom of the support body's cylinder. An annular spacer 122 communicating with the inner receiving space of the heating furnace 100 is formed between the outer support 106 and the inner support 107 at a predetermined interval.

[0028] The outer support 106 includes a support portion configured to place and thus support the weight of the inner liner 103, the outer insulation layer 105, and the heating coil 104.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the predetermined interval is not limited to the area between the outer periphery of the inner support 107 and the end edge of the support portion of the outer support 106. The space of the predetermined interval can also be integrally connected in an L-shape to the area between the support portion of the outer support 106 and the bottom of the cylinder of the support body. Similarly, in Figure 3 In the cross section of the outer support 106, multiple holes (not shown) can be opened circumferentially through the outer support 106, thereby communicating with the interval between the inner support 107 and the outer support 106 to form a similar L-shaped predetermined interval.

[0030] Thus, a double support section with two separate layers, either upper and lower or inner and outer, is formed at the bottom of the main body of the support. Perforations can also be provided at the lower layer or at the connection between the inner and outer layers, i.e., at least one of the main body of the support, the outer support 106, and the inner support 107, to enhance the flow of hot air.

[0031] Therefore, preferably, a recessed stepped structure is formed at the bottom of the main body of the support, with the outer side having a larger wall thickness than the inner side, such as... Figure 1 As shown.

[0032] Below the lower support 109, a container tank 200 is arranged directly opposite the drain channel 108, allowing the molten aluminum alloy to flow through the drain channel 108 to the container tank 200 below for natural cooling. The scrap aluminum alloy will then be recast.

[0033] A thermometer 102 is preferably installed at the top of the lining 103 to monitor changes in internal temperature.

[0034] <Example>

[0035] The inner lining 103 is cylindrical, made of high carbon steel, grade: T8, with an inner diameter of 500 (±2) mm and an outer diameter of 650 (±2) mm.

[0036] The outer thermal insulation layer 105 is made of thermal insulation bricks. The inner diameter is 980 (±3) mm, and the outer diameter is 1180 (±3) mm. The thermal insulation bricks are light clay bricks with the brand N-34.

[0037] The heating coil 104 is made of copper wire with the brand T1 and a diameter of 300 (±0.2) mm, which can provide high-frequency power and heat to a maximum temperature of 1200℃.

[0038] The upper side independent thermal insulation cover 101 is made of steel shell and filled with thermal insulation cotton. The uppermost part of the thermal insulation cover 101 is welded with a thermal insulation cover lifting lug 110.

[0039] The outer support 106, the inner support 107, and the lower support 109 are made of high-carbon steel with the brand T8. The outer support 106 and the inner support 107 are partially parallel and not adjacent to each other.

[0040] The drainage channel 108 has a smaller diameter than the diameter of the extrusion die 300. The outer diameter of the extrusion die 300 is 250 (±0.5) mm, and the diameter of the drainage channel 108 is 200 (±1) mm.

[0041] The container groove 200 is made of high-carbon steel with the brand T8, and the inner volume is 3-3.5 m 3 .

[0042] The lifting hole 301 of the extrusion die 300 with the die cavity aluminum 302 is on both sides of the diameter of the extrusion die 300, with an inner diameter of 20 (±0.2) mm and a depth of 25 (±1) mm.

[0043] <Usage and process method>

[0044] Before use, first use the overhead crane to hang the thermal insulation cover lifting lug 110 of the thermal insulation cover 101, and adjust the thermal insulation cover 101 away from the industrial frequency heating furnace 100.

[0045] Then use two lifting rods to screw into the two lifting holes 301 of the extrusion die 300 with the die cavity aluminum 302, and the overhead crane hangs one end of the lifting rod, and the extrusion die 300 with the die cavity aluminum 302 is placed in the industrial frequency heating furnace 100 in sequence. As shown in Figure 1 , two extrusion dies 300 with die cavity aluminum 302 are shown overlapped.

[0046] The overhead crane hoists the thermal insulation cover 101 back to the original position.

[0047] The inner wall of the container groove 200 is sprayed with a water solution of talcum powder, and dried with a spray gun, which facilitates the separation of the aluminum alloy from the inner wall of the container groove 200.

[0048] The heating coil 104 is powered, and the temperature is set between 800-1200℃. The melting point of the aluminum alloy is between 570℃ and 660℃, and the extrusion die is generally high-carbon steel with a melting point of 1400-1500℃, so the aluminum alloy can be quickly melted.

[0049] The melted aluminum alloy is affected by gravity, passes through the drainage channel 108, and falls into the container groove 200 to collect, thereby realizing the separation of the aluminum 302 in the extrusion die cavity from the extrusion die 300.

[0050] After heating for 10-15 minutes, the power is turned off.

[0051] The heat preservation cover 101 is lifted out. The extrusion die without the die cavity aluminum 302 is lifted out in turn.

[0052] After the aluminum alloy in the container groove 200 solidifies, the container groove 200 and the aluminum alloy inside are pulled out, the container groove 200 is inverted, the aluminum alloy falls out, and a forklift is used to transfer it to the casting workshop for use.
