Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to a drainage system for aluminum casting processing. Background technology:

[0002] Aluminum castings are metal shaped objects obtained through various casting methods. This involves pouring molten metal into a pre-prepared mold using methods such as casting, injection, suction, or other casting techniques. After cooling, the casting undergoes subsequent processing such as grinding to obtain objects with specific shapes, dimensions, and properties. During the processing of aluminum castings, they need to be placed in water tanks for cleaning to remove residual emulsion and aluminum shavings from their surfaces. To improve cleaning efficiency, production lines typically have multiple water tanks. After each tank has been cleaned for a period of time, a water pump needs to be manually moved to the side of the tank to pump out the cleaning solution and drain it, thus changing the water in the tank. However, due to the large number of tanks on the production line and the need for independent pumping and draining of each tank, the operation is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and time-consuming, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a drainage system for aluminum casting processing, including a main drainage pipe 2 horizontally positioned below multiple parallel cleaning tanks 1. Each cleaning tank 1's drainage outlet is connected to the main drainage pipe 2 via a branch drainage pipe 3. One end of the main drainage pipe 2 is connected to the input end of a water pump 4. During operation, the water pump starts, and the cleaning fluid from each cleaning tank enters the main drainage pipe through the branch drainage pipes, from which it is discharged uniformly. By connecting the main drainage pipe to multiple cleaning tanks simultaneously and then using the water pump to pump and discharge the cleaning fluid from multiple tanks at once, the operation is convenient and work efficiency is improved.

[0023] In this embodiment, a drainage collection tank 5 is also included. The inlet end of the drainage collection tank 5 is connected to the output end of the water pump 4. The cleaning liquid pumped out by the water pump enters the drainage collection tank, and the drainage collection tank collects the cleaning liquid.

[0024] In this embodiment, a filter 6 is also included, the inlet of which is connected to the outlet of the drain collection tank 5. The filter filters the cleaning fluid collected in the drain collection tank to remove aluminum shavings from the cleaning fluid. Preferably, an existing paper tape filter can be used.

[0025] In this embodiment, the outlet end of the filter 6 is connected to a drain return pipe 7, which is used to connect to the emulsion input end of the processing equipment. Since emulsion remains on the surface of the aluminum casting after processing, the cleaning solution in the cleaning tank after the aluminum casting is cleaned contains emulsion. The cleaning solution in the cleaning tank is filtered and then returned to the processing equipment for reuse, thus achieving recycling.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 2-4As shown, the cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a support tray 8 for supporting aluminum castings. The support tray 8 is driven to rise and fall by a lifting device. Multiple cleaning holes 9 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the support tray 8, and the cleaning holes 9 are vertically continuous. An air-blowing assembly 10 is installed below the support tray 8 in the cleaning tank 1. The air-blowing assembly 10 is connected to an air pump 12 via an air pipe 11, and the air-blowing assembly blows air into the cleaning tank to form bubbles. During operation, the support tray moves upward to the top opening of the cleaning tank. The aluminum casting to be cleaned is manually placed on the support tray. Then, the lifting device drives the support tray and the aluminum casting downward and immerses them in the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank, thus achieving cleaning.

[0027] In this embodiment, the air-blowing assembly 10 includes an air-blowing disc 13 supported and fixed by a bracket 15. The air-blowing disc is horizontally arranged, and an air-blowing cavity is provided inside the air-blowing disc 13. The air pipe 11 is connected to the air-blowing cavity. Several air-blowing pipes 14 are fixed on the upper end surface of the air-blowing disc 13, and the bottom ends of the air-blowing pipes 14 are all connected to the air-blowing cavity. The top of the air-blowing pipes has an air outlet. The bracket 15 is fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning water tank 1. Furthermore, the air-blowing pipes are arranged in multiple sets of annular arrays on the surface of the air-blowing disc, and the extension angle of each set of air-blowing discs is different. The air-blowing pipes located in the middle extend vertically, while the air-blowing pipes at the edges extend obliquely upwards outwards.

[0028] In this embodiment, the lifting component is a lifting cylinder 16 that is vertically installed on the upper side wall of the rear side of the cleaning tank 1. The cylinder rod of the lifting cylinder 16 extends downward and the end is fixed with a connecting frame 17. The connecting frame 17 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rear end of the support tray 8. The support tray is driven to move vertically up and down by the lifting cylinder.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cleaning tank 1 is fixedly connected to a frustoconical settling chamber 18 to facilitate the settling of aluminum chips. The bottom of the settling chamber 18 is provided with a drain port connected to a drain branch pipe to facilitate the discharge of cleaning fluid.

[0030] In this embodiment, a drainage control valve is provided on the drainage branch pipe, and the drainage control valve can be an electric valve.

[0031] If this utility model discloses or relates to mutually fixedly connected parts or structural components, then, unless otherwise stated, a fixed connection can be understood as: a detachable fixed connection (e.g., using bolts or screws), or a non-detachable fixed connection (e.g., riveting, welding). Of course, mutually fixed connections can also be replaced by an integral structure (e.g., manufactured using a casting process) (except where it is obviously impossible to use an integral forming process).

[0032] In addition, unless otherwise stated, the terms used to indicate positional relationships or shapes in any of the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model above include states or shapes that are similar to, close to, or approximate with them.

[0033] Any component provided by this utility model can be assembled from multiple individual components, or it can be a single component manufactured by a one-piece molding process.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
