Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum processing, and in particular to a mobile aluminum molten metal transfer tank. Background Technology
[0002] Aluminum processing companies not only use furnaces to melt aluminum raw materials to obtain molten aluminum, but also purchase molten aluminum from external sources to solve the problem of insufficient furnace output in order to meet the company's production needs.
[0003] Typically, purchased molten aluminum is transported to the factory area by aluminum tank trucks. A crane is used to hoist transfer drums, and the molten aluminum is transferred from the aluminum tank trucks into the transfer drums. The crane then moves the transfer drums to the aluminum-using location, where the drums are tilted to pour out the molten aluminum.
[0004] Using a crane to transfer molten aluminum via a transfer tube is inefficient, and because the transfer tube has a limited capacity, it needs to be transferred multiple times, which significantly prolongs the transfer cycle of molten aluminum. In addition, there is a risk that the transfer tube may fall off or collide with the aluminum.
[0005] Therefore, how to design a device that can efficiently and safely transfer molten aluminum to the aluminum-using location is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a mobile aluminum molten metal transfer tank. This tank has a simple structure, low processing cost, and can be transferred to a designated location by forklift, efficiently and safely transferring the molten aluminum from the tank to the aluminum-using location.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model is: a mobile aluminum molten metal transfer tank, including a support and a flow channel. Two parallel rectangular tubes are fixedly arranged on the support to form a slot for the fork arm of a forklift to insert. The flow channel is fixedly arranged on the top of the support and extends at an angle. The high end of the flow channel is sealed to form the aluminum molten metal inlet end, and the low end of the flow channel is open to form the aluminum molten metal outlet end. The bottom and walls of the flow channel are lined with an inner lining layer, and the inner lining layer does not exceed the height of the side wall of the flow channel.
[0008] The cross-sectional area of the flow channel gradually increases from the aluminum inlet end to the aluminum outlet end.
[0009] The upper part of the side wall at the aluminum molten metal outlet end of the flow channel bends inward to limit the inner lining layer.
[0010] The two rectangular tubes are welded to the bottom sides of the flow channel, located at the aluminum inlet end.
[0011] A triangular reinforcing block is welded between the rectangular tube and the support column.
[0012] The inner lining is a refractory fiber layer.
[0013] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. A mobile molten aluminum transfer tank includes a support frame and a flow channel. Two parallel, spaced rectangular tubes are fixedly mounted on the support frame, forming slots for forklift forks to insert into. The support frame can be moved to a designated location by forklift to transfer molten aluminum from the molten aluminum tanker to the aluminum-using location, such as a mold or furnace, reducing manual labor intensity and ensuring safety. The flow channel is fixedly mounted on top of the support frame and extends at an angle. The higher end of the flow channel is sealed, forming the molten aluminum inlet, while the lower end is open, forming the molten aluminum outlet. Molten aluminum from the molten aluminum tanker flows into the flow channel from the inlet and, under gravity, flows into the aluminum-using location through the outlet, ensuring smooth flow. Furthermore, it can continuously transfer molten aluminum from the molten aluminum tanker, effectively improving the efficiency and safety of molten aluminum transfer. The bottom and walls of the flow channel are lined with an inner lining layer, which does not exceed the height of the side walls of the flow channel. This lining layer insulates the molten aluminum, reducing scouring of the flow channel by the molten aluminum, ensuring the quality of the molten aluminum, and extending the service life of the flow channel.
[0015] 2. The cross-sectional area of the flow channel gradually increases from the aluminum inlet end to the aluminum outlet end, which effectively avoids the aluminum flowing too fast during the transfer process in the flow channel and reduces the impact on the aluminum usage location.
[0016] 3. The upper part of the side wall at the aluminum outlet end of the flow channel is bent inward to limit the inner lining layer. This limiting structure is simple and reliable, and can effectively prevent the inner lining layer from being washed away from the flow channel by the aluminum liquid, thus ensuring the safety of aluminum liquid transfer.
[0017] 4. The two rectangular tubes are welded to the bottom sides of the flow channel, located at the aluminum inlet end. This improves the structural strength of the flow channel. The higher end is the impact point of the molten aluminum, which also extends the service life of the flow channel and reduces the risk of leakage due to channel deformation. Furthermore, it prevents residual aluminum from flowing towards the forklift during forklift transfer, ensuring personnel safety. Triangular reinforcing blocks are welded between the rectangular tubes and the support pillars, further enhancing the connection strength between the flow channel and the support, ensuring the stability of molten aluminum transfer.
[0018] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details. Attached Figure Description
[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;
[0020] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A-direction view.
[0021] In the attached diagram, 1 is the support, 2 is the flow channel, 21 is the aluminum molten liquid inlet, 22 is the aluminum molten liquid outlet, 3 is the rectangular tube, 4 is the inner lining layer, and 5 is the triangular reinforcing block. Detailed Implementation
[0022] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a specific embodiment of a mobile molten aluminum transfer tank. The mobile molten aluminum transfer tank includes a support 1 and a flow channel 2. Two parallel rectangular tubes 3 are fixedly installed on the support 1 to form slots for inserting forklift forks. The flow channel 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the support 1 and extends at an angle. The high end of the flow channel is sealed to form the molten aluminum inlet end 21, and the low end of the flow channel is open to form the molten aluminum outlet end 22. In this embodiment, the two rectangular tubes 3 are respectively welded to the bottom sides of the flow channel 2, located at the molten aluminum inlet end 21. In order to improve the structural strength, triangular reinforcing blocks 5 are welded between the rectangular tubes 3 and the support pillars of the support. In addition, the cross-sectional area of the flow channel 2 gradually increases from the molten aluminum inlet end 21 to the molten aluminum outlet end 22 to avoid excessive impact on the aluminum-using position caused by excessive flow velocity during the transfer of molten aluminum in the flow channel. The bottom and walls of the flow channel 2 are both covered with an inner lining layer 4, and the inner lining layer 4 does not exceed the height of the side wall of the flow channel. Specifically, the inner lining layer 4 is a refractory fiber layer, and the upper part of the side wall of the aluminum molten liquid outlet end of the flow channel 2 is bent inward to limit the inner lining layer.
[0023] The working principle of this invention is as follows: A forklift is used to move the mobile molten aluminum transfer tank to a designated location, ensuring that the molten aluminum outlet is aligned with the aluminum inlet of the location where aluminum is to be used. The molten aluminum tanker is moved to the molten aluminum inlet of the mobile molten aluminum transfer tank, and molten aluminum is introduced through the discharge nozzle at the inlet. Under the action of gravity, the molten aluminum flows out from the outlet along the flow channel and is transferred to the location where aluminum is to be used. After the molten aluminum in the tanker has been transferred, the mobile molten aluminum transfer tank is moved back to its original position using a forklift for the next use.
