Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum liquid treatment technology, and in particular to a degassing device for die-casting aluminum liquid raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] During the solidification process, gases in molten aluminum can form pores, which can impair the mechanical properties and pressure tightness of castings, leading to a decline in casting quality. Molten aluminum is also prone to absorbing gases and oxidizing during the smelting process, producing oxide inclusions. These inclusions can affect the surface quality and internal structure of castings, causing problems such as pinholes, oxide inclusions, and shrinkage porosity. Hydrogen is a gas that is significantly soluble in molten aluminum. If it is not removed in time, it will form pores in the casting, affecting the mechanical properties and appearance quality of the casting. Therefore, it is necessary to degas the molten aluminum before use.

[0003] Existing degassing methods mainly rely on nitrogen rotary jetting. This method causes nitrogen bubbles to rise in the molten aluminum, while hydrogen diffuses from the aluminum into these bubbles and rises with them, thus achieving degassing. However, existing degassing equipment cannot quickly remove the exhaust gas after degassing, resulting in rapid oxidation of the aluminum surface. The lack of necessary exhaust and protection devices leads to incomplete exhaust gas removal, and the gas rising from the molten aluminum cannot be effectively removed from the tank. Therefore, auxiliary equipment is needed during the exhaust process to quickly extract the exhaust gas and to provide necessary protection for the top of the tank. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the deficiencies in the existing technology by providing a degassing device for molten aluminum raw materials used in die casting.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A degassing device for die-casting molten aluminum raw materials includes an aluminum liquid tank, a tank cover, a top cover, and an exhaust device. The tank cover is fitted onto the top of the aluminum liquid tank, and the top cover is located on the outer side of the top of the tank cover. The exhaust device is fixedly installed on the top of the tank cover. The exhaust device includes a connecting pipe, an electric telescopic rod, a lifting pipe, a mounting frame, an exhaust fan, a connecting seat, a rotating shaft, and a cover plate. The connecting pipe is fixed to the top of the tank cover, the electric telescopic rod is installed inside the connecting pipe, the outer side of the lifting pipe is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod, the mounting frame is fixedly installed on the inner side of the bottom of the lifting pipe, the exhaust fan is connected to the mounting frame, the connecting seat is fixedly installed on the top of the outer side of the connecting pipe, the rotating shaft is movably connected to the connecting seat, and the cover plate is movably connected to the rotating shaft.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a degassing operation tube is provided on the top of the can lid, the top cover is snapped onto the top outer side of the degassing operation tube on the top of the can lid, and a handle is provided on the top of the top cover.

[0008] The top cover is opened to allow nitrogen to enter the molten aluminum through the rotating nozzle for degassing. After the degassing process is completed, the top cover is closed to prevent air from quickly entering the molten aluminum tank.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cover plate is disposed on the top of the connecting pipe, and the area of ​​the cover plate is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the top of the connecting pipe;

[0010] During transfer and other operations, the cover plate is placed on top of the connecting pipe to reduce the amount of contact between the molten aluminum and the air, thereby achieving a certain degree of air isolation and slowing down the oxidation and gas dissolution rate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer wall of the lifting pipe is fitted with the inner wall of the connecting pipe, and an installation block connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly provided on the outer side of the lifting pipe.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer side of the connecting pipe is provided with an installation groove to facilitate the installation of the electric telescopic rod.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] During the nitrogen rotation degassing process inside the molten aluminum, the degassing equipment for die-casting aluminum liquid can quickly remove the gas discharged from the molten aluminum tank through the exhaust device, thereby reducing the residual hydrogen-containing gas in the empty space at the top of the molten aluminum tank. The rapid exhaust can also better retain protective gas at the top of the molten aluminum. The tank cover reduces the entry of external air, thereby reducing the oxidation rate and the dissolution of hydrogen-containing gas. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of this utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms mentioned in this utility model, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom," are only for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting this utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 The device shown is a degassing device for molten aluminum raw materials for die casting, including a molten aluminum tank 1, a tank cover 2, a top cover 3, and an exhaust device 4. The tank cover 2 is fitted onto the top of the molten aluminum tank 1, and the top cover 3 is located on the outer side of the top of the tank cover 2. The exhaust device 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the tank cover 2. The exhaust device 4 includes a connecting pipe 41, an electric telescopic rod 42, a lifting pipe 43, a mounting frame 44, an exhaust fan 45, a connecting seat 46, a rotating shaft 47, and a cover plate 48. The connecting pipe 41 is fixed to the top of the tank cover 2, the electric telescopic rod 42 is installed inside the connecting pipe 41, the outer side of the lifting pipe 43 is fixed to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 42, the mounting frame 44 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the bottom of the lifting pipe 43, the exhaust fan 45 is connected to the mounting frame 44, the connecting seat 46 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer side of the connecting pipe 41, the rotating shaft 47 is movably connected to the connecting seat 46, and the cover plate 48 is movably connected to the rotating shaft 47.

[0021] Specifically, a degassing operation pipe is provided on the top of the tank cover 2, and the top cover 3 is clipped onto the top outer side of the degassing operation pipe on the top of the tank cover 2. A handle is provided on the top of the top cover 3. A cover plate 48 is provided on the top of the connecting pipe 41. The area of ​​the cover plate 48 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the top of the connecting pipe 41. The outer wall of the lifting pipe 43 is fitted with the inner wall of the connecting pipe 41. An installation block connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 42 is fixedly provided on the outer side of the lifting pipe 43. An installation groove is provided on the outer side of the connecting pipe 41 to facilitate the installation of the electric telescopic rod 42.

[0022] In this embodiment, after the molten aluminum is poured into the molten aluminum tank 1, it needs to be degassed at the degassing equipment. After the molten aluminum is added into the molten aluminum tank 1, the tank cover 2 is placed over the top of the molten aluminum tank 1. When the molten aluminum tank 1 is moved to the bottom of the degassing equipment, the top cover 3 of the tank cover 2 is opened, and the rotating nozzle of the degassing equipment is inserted into the molten aluminum. The rotating nozzle rotates and sprays nitrogen or other protective gas into the molten aluminum, thereby achieving the effect of degassing the molten aluminum.

[0023] Furthermore, during the degassing process inside the molten aluminum, excess gas rises and is expelled from the molten aluminum tank 1. If the gas density is similar to or lower than that of air, the gas in the molten aluminum tank 1 may not be able to escape smoothly. This can lead to oxidation of the molten aluminum surface or re-dissolving of the gas inside the molten aluminum. Therefore, it is necessary to expel the exhaust gas in a timely manner. At this time, the cover plate 48 is rotated according to the rotating shaft 47, thereby opening the cover plate 48 covering the top of the connecting pipe 41. Then, the electric telescopic rod 42 is extended, causing the lifting pipe 43 to descend to its bottom position close to the liquid surface. The exhaust fan 45 is turned on to quickly expel the residual exhaust gas in the molten aluminum tank 1. Controlling the electric telescopic rod 42 to retract can raise the lifting pipe 43, thereby allowing the exhaust fan 45 to better extract the exhaust gas inside the molten aluminum tank 1, filling the molten aluminum tank 1 with protective gas. After degassing is completed, the cover plate 48 and the top cover 3 are closed to reduce the entry of air, thereby slowing down the oxidation rate and reducing the amount of gas dissolved.
