Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of antimony ingot production technology, and specifically relates to a uniform ingot casting device. Background Technology

[0002] Antimony ingots play a crucial role in industrial production. As an alloy hardener, they are widely used in metallurgy, batteries, and military industries, making significant contributions to improving alloy performance. They are also an important raw material for the preparation of antimony oxide. In the antimony ingot manufacturing process, antimony is first heated above its melting point to become molten. This molten antimony is then precisely poured into a mold, ensuring it fills the mold cavity evenly. Afterward, it is allowed to cool naturally or through a specific cooling process until it completely solidifies, at which point the ingot is removed from the mold. Currently, the antimony ingot production process uses a linear casting machine. The molten antimony from the smelting furnace flows into the ingot mold on the linear casting machine. However, this process results in significant weight variations in the obtained antimony ingots. Selling substandard products at a reduced price or remelting them increases production costs. Utility Model Content

A melting furnace is located at one end of the linear ingot casting machine. A support mechanism is provided between the melting furnace and the linear ingot casting machine. A pouring pipe is connected to the melting furnace. The pouring pipe is connected to the support mechanism and located above the ingot mold. A control valve is connected to the pouring pipe. A liquid level detection mechanism is also connected to the support mechanism and located above the ingot mold. A cooling mechanism is located at the other end of the linear ingot casting machine for cooling the ingot mold.

[0005] Preferably, the support mechanism includes a vertical support plate, a horizontal support plate connected to the vertical support plate, a support column connected to the horizontal support plate, and the pouring pipe connected to the horizontal support plate and the support column.

[0006] Preferably, the liquid level detection mechanism includes a heat insulation component, which is connected to the support mechanism, and a liquid level sensor is connected to the heat insulation component.

[0022] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A uniform ingot casting device includes a linear ingot casting machine 1. An ingot mold 3 is mounted on a conveyor chain 2 of the linear ingot casting machine 1. A smelting furnace 4 is mounted at one end of the linear ingot casting machine 1. A support mechanism 5 is mounted between the smelting furnace 4 and the linear ingot casting machine 1. A pouring pipe 6 is connected to the smelting furnace 4. The pouring pipe 6 is connected to the support mechanism 5 and is located above the ingot mold 3. A control valve 7 is connected to the pouring pipe 6. A liquid level detection mechanism 8 is also connected to the support mechanism 5 and is located above the ingot mold 3. A cooling mechanism 9 is mounted at the other end of the linear ingot casting machine 1. The cooling mechanism 9 is used to cool the ingot mold 3.

[0023] During the casting of antimony ingots, the control valve 7 is controlled based on the detection information of the liquid level detection mechanism 8 to control the pouring liquid on the pouring pipe 6, thereby ensuring that the pouring liquid entering the ingot mold 3 can be kept at the same level, so that the weight of the antimony ingots obtained from the ingot mold 3 is relatively consistent, and avoiding the situation that the weight of the antimony ingots produced is large.

[0024] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support mechanism 5 includes a vertical support plate 51, a horizontal support plate 52 connected to the vertical support plate 51, a support column 53 connected to the horizontal support plate 51, and the pouring pipe 6 connected to the horizontal support plate 52 and the support column 53.

[0025] The vertical support plate 51 is located between the linear ingot casting machine 1 and the smelting furnace 4, and the horizontal support plate 51 is located above the conveyor chain machine 2. The horizontal support plate 51 is equipped with support columns 53 according to the actual situation to support the pouring pipe 6. At the same time, the horizontal support plate 51 is used to support the pouring pipe 6 located above the ingot mold 3.

[0026] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The liquid level detection mechanism 8 includes a heat insulation component connected to the support mechanism 5, and a liquid level gauge is connected to the heat insulation component. The liquid level gauge is a waveguide radar level gauge, capable of non-contact measurement, suitable for detecting high-temperature molten liquid within the ingot mold 3. The heat insulation component provides a certain degree of heat insulation protection for the liquid level gauge.

[0027] See Figure 2 The heat insulation assembly includes a heat insulation plate 81, a fixing plate 82 connected to the heat insulation plate 81, connecting plates 83 connected to both ends of the fixing plate 82, an mounting plate 84 connected to the connecting plate 83, a protective sleeve 88 connected to the mounting plate 84 via a first flange 86, and a liquid level gauge connected to the mounting plate 84 via a second flange 87, with the probe 890 of the liquid level gauge 89 located inside the protective sleeve 88.

[0028] A connecting plate 83 is connected to each end of the fixing plate 82. One end of each connecting plate 83 is connected to a mounting plate 84, forming a mounting cavity with openings at both ends. This mounting cavity is used to install the level gauge 89. A protective sleeve 88 is connected to the lower end of the mounting cavity, i.e., the lower end of the mounting plate 84. The probe 890 of the level gauge 89, i.e., the waveguide of the waveguide radar level gauge, is located inside the protective sleeve 88. The protective sleeve 88 protects the probe 890, preventing splashing of the poured liquid onto it. Simultaneously, small holes can be provided at the upper end of the protective sleeve 88 to allow for some heat dissipation.

[0029] In some other embodiments, a small cooling fan can be installed inside the mounting cavity, that is, at the lower part of the fixing plate 82, to dissipate heat inside the mounting cavity, prevent heat accumulation in the electronic components inside the liquid level detector 89, and improve the detection quality and service life of the liquid level detector 89.

[0030] In some other embodiments, the fixing plate 82, connecting plate 83, and mounting plate 84 are integrally formed, and the integrally formed fixing plate 82, connecting plate 83, and mounting plate 84 are detachably connected to the heat insulation plate 81 for easy maintenance and installation. See also Figure 2 The casting pipe 6 includes a main casting pipe 61 and a first branch casting pipe 62 and a second branch casting pipe 63 connected to the main casting pipe 61. A first control valve 71 is connected to the main casting pipe 61, and a second control valve 72 is connected to the first branch casting pipe 62 and the second branch casting pipe 63.

[0031] The control valve 7 includes a first control valve 71 and a second control valve 72. The first control valve 71 is installed on the main pouring pipe 61, which is connected to the smelting furnace 4. The second control valve 72 is installed on the first branch pouring pipe 62 and the second branch pouring pipe 63. The first branch pouring pipe 62 and the second branch pouring pipe 63 can respectively complete the pouring of the ingot mold 3.

[0032] See Figure 3 The cooling mechanism 9 includes a spray pipe 91 disposed on the side of the conveyor chain machine 2 and a cooling water tank 92 disposed below the ingot mold 3. The cooling water tank 92 is connected to the lifting platform 93. The spray pipe 91 is equipped with nozzles and valves.

[0033] The linear ingot casting machine 1 has a space below the conveyor chain 2 to accommodate the cooling mechanism 9. The cooling mechanism 9 is located at the end of the linear ingot casting machine 1 furthest from the melting furnace 4. After the ingot mold 3 is poured through the pouring pipe 6, it is conveyed by the conveyor chain 2 to the cooling mechanism 9. The spray pipe 91 in the cooling mechanism 9 sprays water onto the sides of the ingot mold 3, and the sprayed water flows into the cooling water tank 92, where it contacts the bottom of the ingot mold 3. The cooled ingot mold 3 is then demolded by a demolding mechanism at the end of the linear ingot casting machine 1.

[0034] In summary, the uniform ingot casting device provided by this utility model detects the liquid level of the casting liquid in the ingot mold by setting a liquid level detector, and controls the valve on the casting pipe based on the detection information to achieve uniform casting of the ingot mold, so that the antimony ingot products have consistent weight and improve the quality of ingot production.
