DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0035] If there is no proper support, the excessively long ladle pipe is prone to excessive bending or twisting in the middle section when bearing the weight of aluminum liquid and the vibration and impact during transportation. After the aluminum liquid is delivered, high temperature may cause thermal stress in the ladle pipe, and shrinkage stress may occur during cooling, which makes deformation more obvious. Such deformation will lead to uneven stress distribution inside the ladle pipe, and fatigue fracture may occur in the area where stress is concentrated under long-term action.

[0036] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application proposes an aluminum liquid ladle support for cooperating with a ladle, which comprises a connecting piece 1, a connecting rod 2, a first fastener 3 and a clamp piece 4.

[0037] Referring to Figures 1-3 The connecting piece 1 is used to be connected to the outer side wall of the ladle, which can be connected by welding or screwing. The strip-shaped mounting hole 1a is formed on the connecting piece 1;

[0038] The connecting rod 2 comprises two opposite ends, one end of which forms a connecting part 21. The connecting part 21 extends into the strip-shaped mounting hole 1a and can move along the length direction of the strip-shaped mounting hole 1a. In this way, the connecting part 21 has a certain adjustment range during installation. This design makes the connecting piece 1 can adapt to the installation requirements of different sizes or positions, providing greater flexibility and convenience. At the same time, it also helps to fine-tune during installation, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the connection.

[0039] The first fastener 3 is arranged on the connecting rod 2 and used to fix the connecting part 21 on the connecting piece 1. After the connecting part 21 is fixed by the first fastener 3, the connecting rod 2 can be fixed relative to the ladle.

[0040] The clamping piece 4 is arranged at the end of the connecting rod 2 away from the connecting part 21, and defines a clamping space for clamping the lifting pipe. In this way, the entire lifting pipe support, the lifting pipe and the lifting bag form a stable triangular structure, which can effectively support the lifting pipe and prevent it from shaking or tilting during transportation. The stable lifting pipe can better withstand external forces.

[0041] It should be understood that the inclination angle and length of the lifting pipe installed on different lifting bags may be different. In the present embodiment, the presence of the strip-shaped mounting hole 1a allows the connecting part 21 to have multiple mounting positions, so that the connecting rod 2 can be mounted at an inclination relative to the connecting part 1 within a certain range, so as to adapt to lifting pipes of different lengths and inclination angles within a certain range.

[0042] In order to facilitate the installation and removal of the clamping piece 4 on the lifting pipe, the clamping piece 4 includes a clamping part 41 and a second fastener 42. The clamping part 41 is provided with two clamping parts 41, one of which is connected to the connecting rod 2. The two clamping parts 41 form a clamping space for clamping the lifting pipe. The two clamping parts 41 have opposite free ends and connecting ends. The connecting ends of the two clamping parts 41 are movably connected together, so that the two clamping parts 41 can be relatively close or far away from each other. The second fastener 42 is connected to the free end of the clamping part 41 to relatively fix the two clamping parts 41.

[0043] The clamping part 41 is provided with two clamping parts 41, which can form an adjustable clamping space. The connecting ends of the two clamping parts 41 are movably connected together, so that the clamping part 41 can be relatively close or far away from each other, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the size of the clamping space. The clamping space of different sizes can clamp lifting pipes of different diameters or sizes. This design makes the clamping piece 4 applicable to lifting pipes of various specifications, enhancing its versatility and adaptability. The two clamping parts 41 can be relatively fixed by tightening the second fastener 42, which ensures that they can tightly clamp the lifting pipe. This fixing method is not only stable and reliable, but also can effectively prevent the lifting pipe from loosening or shifting during use.

[0044] It should be understood that in the present embodiment, the second fastener 42 is a bolt cooperating with a nut. Therefore, an installation plate is extended from the free end of the clamping part 41, and a connecting hole is formed in the installation plate for the bolt to pass through, as shown in Figure 4 In this way, the two clamping parts 41 can be quickly and stably connected together to better clamp the lifting pipe.

[0045] Referring to Figure 5The connecting end of the two clamping portions 41 has a first mounting portion 411, and a second mounting portion 412 is connected between the two first mounting portions 411. The first mounting portion 411 and the second mounting portion 412 are annular, and the annular design of the first mounting portion 411 and the second mounting portion 412 has more activity space, so that the two clamping portions 41 have a larger opening angle, so as to better surround the lifting pipe. It can be understood that when the inner side wall of the second mounting portion 412 abuts against the inner side wall of the first mounting portion 411, and the two clamping portions 41 are respectively stretched, and the two clamping portions 41 are locked by the second fastener 42 at this time, the clamping effect on the lifting pipe is best at this time.

[0046] In order to further improve the application range, that is, to adapt to lifting pipes of different lengths and different inclination angles within a certain range, the connecting rod 2 is rotationally connected with the clamping piece 4, and the axis of rotation of the clamping piece 4 is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting rod 2. The rotational connection makes the clamping piece 4 have higher flexibility when clamping the lifting pipe. This design allows the clamping piece 4 to adjust its angle and position according to actual needs.

[0047] In combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The aluminum water lifting ladle support in the embodiment further includes a rotating assembly 5, which includes a first protruding portion 51, a second protruding portion 52, and a rotating rod 53. The first protruding portion 51 is provided with two portions arranged side by side on the clamping piece 4 and is provided with a first mounting hole. The second protruding portion 52 is provided on the connecting rod 2 and is provided with a second mounting hole. The rotating rod 53 is arranged through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, so that the clamping piece 4 can rotate around the axis of the rotating rod 53.

[0048] The first protruding portion 51 can be fixed on the clamping piece 4 by welding or screwing, and the second protruding portion 52 can be fixed on the connecting rod 2 by welding or screwing.

[0049] Through the mounting holes on the first protruding portion 51 and the second protruding portion 52, the rotating rod 53 can be arranged and fixed, so that the clamping piece 4 can rotate around the axis of the rotating rod 53. This design not only ensures the stability of rotation, but also makes the rotation process smoother, reduces friction and resistance.

[0050] The arrangement of the first protruding portion 51 and the second protruding portion 52 makes the rotational connection between the connecting rod 2 and the clamping piece 4 more compact and simple. Compared with other complex rotating mechanisms, this design reduces the number of parts, reduces the manufacturing cost, and also facilitates installation and maintenance.

[0051] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 6The connecting portion 21 and the connecting portion of the connecting rod 2 are connected in a circular arc transition, which can effectively disperse these stresses and disperse them from a local concentrated area to a larger area, thereby significantly reducing the phenomenon of stress concentration. In particular, at such a key connection between the connecting portion 21 and the connecting rod 2, the use of a circular arc transition can greatly improve the stability and safety of the structure.

[0052] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 The first fastener 3 includes a nut, and the connecting portion 21 is provided with an external thread. The nut is threadedly connected with the connecting portion 21. The threaded connection design makes the installation and disassembly process relatively simple and convenient. Only by rotating the nut with a suitable tool can the connection or disassembly operation be completed. This design not only improves work efficiency, but also reduces the difficulty of installation and disassembly, making the operation more relaxed.

[0053] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 21 is provided with a gasket 21a, which is arranged on the side of the connecting piece 1 away from the first fastener 3. When the nut is tightened, the gasket 21a clamps the two sides of the connecting piece 1 away from each other, respectively. Through the limiting of the gasket 21a, the connecting portion 21 and the connecting piece 1 can be quickly installed in place. The gasket 21a and the connecting portion 21 are generally welded. It can be understood that a gasket can also be arranged on the side of the first fastener 3 facing the connecting piece 1. The gasket can be sleeved on the connecting portion 21 to disperse the contact pressure and improve the stability of the connection. This helps to reduce deformation or damage caused by stress concentration and enhances the load-bearing capacity of the overall structure.

[0054] In addition, since the connecting rod 2 needs to adjust its inclination angle according to different lengths and different inclination angles of the lifting pipe, neither the gasket 21a nor the first fastener 3 can closely fit with the connecting piece 1. Only partial fitting can play a fixing role between the connecting piece 1 and the connecting portion 21.

[0055] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 2 is a telescopic rod. The length of the connecting rod 2 can be adjusted by the telescopic rod, so as to adapt to a wider range and be able to fit more sizes of lifting bags.

[0056] Further, the connecting rod 2 includes a first telescopic rod 22, a second telescopic rod 23, and a third fastener 24. The first telescopic rod 22 is inserted into the second telescopic rod 23 and is movably connected with the second telescopic rod 23. The third fastener 24 is used to fix the first telescopic rod 22 and the second telescopic rod 23. One of the first telescopic rod 22 and the second telescopic rod 23 is connected with the clamping piece 4, and the end of the other one forms the connecting portion 21.

[0057] Please continue to refer to Figure 7, the third fastener 24 still adopts the connection of nut cooperating with bolt, it needs to be understood that a plurality of spaced apart holes can be formed on the side wall of the first telescopic rod 22 and the second telescopic rod 23, the holes of the first telescopic rod 22 and the second telescopic rod 23 are opposite, then the bolt is inserted and locked by the nut, so that the length of the connecting rod 2 is adjusted.

[0058] Of course, in some possible embodiments, a strip-shaped hole can be directly formed on the first telescopic rod 22 and the second telescopic rod 23, and then the bolt is inserted into the strip-shaped hole of the first telescopic rod 22 and the second telescopic rod 23.

[0059] The same or similar reference signs in the drawings of the present embodiment correspond to the same or similar components; in the description of the present application, it needs to be understood that if the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, therefore the terms describing the positional relationship in the drawings are only used for exemplary illustration, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present patent, for those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0060] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
