[0003] Existing technologies, such as the refining tank for aluminum ingot production disclosed in CN218596476U, include a base cabinet with a power cord storage mechanism on its front outer surface, a control panel on one outer surface of the control cabinet, and a refining tank body on the upper side of the base cabinet. This refining tank for aluminum ingot production features a power cord storage mechanism and a tank body protection mechanism. It can store the power cord before use, protect the tank body from external damage, and improve the temperature control effect. However, it has the following problems during use:

[0004] The above-mentioned technology cannot remove impurities from the molten aluminum inside the tube, and manual cleaning is required. During the manual cleaning process, the molten aluminum releases a lot of heat, causing workers to sweat profusely, which can easily lead to exhaustion and the risk of being burned by the molten aluminum.

The operating cabinet has a mounting groove at its bottom, in which a limit block is fixedly installed. A drive mechanism for rotating the lead screw is located on the upper part of the limit block. Placement grooves for placing the lead screw are located on both sides of the operating cabinet, extending between the top of the operating cabinet and the top of the mounting grooves. A through hole is located at the center of the operating cabinet, in which a material cylinder for holding aluminum ingots is fixedly installed. A heating chamber for heating the material cylinder is located between the through hole and the material cylinder, and an electromagnetic coil for heating the aluminum ingots inside the material cylinder is installed within the heating chamber. A retrieval mechanism for automatically cleaning impurities from the aluminum ingots is installed inside the material cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating gear is a hollow structure, and the inner wall of the rotating gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. The rotating gear is meshed with the drive gear. The limiting ring is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lead screw. The center line of the limiting ring and the rotating gear is on the same straight line. The belt surrounds the outer walls of the two lead screws within the space enclosed by the two limiting rings.

[0010] Preferably, the salvage mechanism includes a nut threadedly connected to a lead screw, a connecting frame fixedly installed on the outer wall of the nut, and a wire mesh for salvaging impurities in aluminum ingots in the material cylinder fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting frame. A support plate is provided on the upper part of the connecting frame, a second drive motor is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate, and a rotating rod is fixedly installed at the output end of the second drive motor.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses the cooperation between the lead screw, nut, connecting frame and wire mesh to enable the wire mesh to scoop up solid impurities and floating impurities in the molten aluminum. It can efficiently scoop up impurities without manual operation and is safer to operate, avoiding the risk of being burned by molten aluminum when operating manually.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses the rotation of the stirring rod to cause the aluminum liquid in the barrel to rotate. During the rotation of the aluminum liquid, the air in the aluminum liquid is stirred to the upper layer of the aluminum liquid, so that the air inside the aluminum liquid is released from the surface of the aluminum liquid, which can effectively remove the air in the aluminum liquid.

[0023] The drive mechanism includes a first drive motor 4 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the limit block 3. A drive gear 5 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first drive motor 4. A rotating gear 7 is arranged parallel to the left side of the drive gear 5. Two limit rings 8 are arranged on the upper part of the rotating gear 7. A belt 9 is arranged between the two limit rings 8.

[0024] The rotating gear 7 is a hollow structure, and the inner wall of the rotating gear 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 6. The rotating gear 7 is meshed with the drive gear 5. The limiting ring 8 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lead screw 6. The center lines of the limiting ring 8 and the rotating gear 7 are on the same straight line. The belt 9 is wrapped around the outer walls of the two lead screws 6 within the space enclosed by the two limiting rings 8. The limiting rings 8 restrict the belt 9 to prevent it from moving up and down.

[0025] The salvage mechanism includes a nut 11 threadedly connected to a lead screw 6. A connecting frame 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the nut 11, and a wire mesh disc 13 for salvaging impurities in aluminum ingots in the material cylinder 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting frame 12. A support plate 14 is provided on the upper part of the connecting frame 12. A second drive motor 15 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the support plate 14, and a rotating rod 16 is fixedly installed at the output end of the second drive motor 15. A stirring rod 17 for stirring the aluminum liquid in the material cylinder 20 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the rotating rod 16. The air bubbles in the aluminum liquid are discharged by the stirring of the stirring rod 17.

[0026] The support plate 14 has circular holes at both ends, and the lead screw 6 is set in the circular holes of the support plate 14 to facilitate the movement of the support plate 14 and avoid interfering with the operation of the lead screw 6.

[0028] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0029] By placing aluminum ingots into the material cylinder 20 and then turning on the electromagnetic coil 19 to heat the aluminum ingots to a molten aluminum state, the second drive motor 15 is turned on, which drives the rotating rod 16 to rotate, causing the stirring rod 17 to rotate and agitate the molten aluminum in the material cylinder 20, causing the air bubbles in the molten aluminum to float upwards into the air. Then, the first drive motor 4 is turned on, which drives the drive gear 5 to rotate, causing the drive gear 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing rotating gear 7 to rotate, causing the rotating gear 7 to rotate synchronously, causing the lead screw 6 to rotate synchronously, causing the lead screw 6 to rotate, causing the belt 9 to rotate synchronously, causing the right-side lead screw 6 to rotate, thus causing the nut 11 on the lead screw 6 to move upwards, causing the connecting frame 12 to move the wire mesh tray 13 upwards. During the upward movement of the wire mesh tray 13, the molten aluminum flows out from the holes of the wire mesh tray 13, and impurities are placed on the upper part of the wire mesh tray 13, thereby cleaning the impurities in the molten aluminum in the material cylinder 20.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
