Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vent pipe sealing components, and in particular to a vent pipe sealing component for a cast-rolled degassing box. Background Technology
[0002] Molten aluminum is a high-temperature liquid alloyed from primary aluminum, either directly or with other alloying elements, formed through high-temperature smelting. During the smelting process, oxide inclusions and gas absorption occur, contaminating the molten aluminum to varying degrees. In particular, the molten aluminum and aluminum alloys contain large amounts of hydrogen, metallic, and non-metallic inclusions. If these harmful substances are not removed before casting, they will form casting defects such as porosity, inclusions, and looseness inside and on the surface of the casting, severely affecting its physical, chemical, mechanical, and deep-processing properties, resulting in a large amount of waste. Therefore, molten aluminum requires purification treatment. Currently, there are two methods for molten aluminum purification: in-furnace purification and external purification.
[0003] Among them, external furnace purification technology is an online degassing and slag removal technology used in the aluminum molten casting process. External furnace degassing and purification is essentially a bubble flotation method, which generates a large number of bubbles in the aluminum molten material. Utilizing the partial pressure difference between hydrogen in the aluminum molten material and in the bubbles, hydrogen in the aluminum molten material continuously enters the bubbles and floats to the surface, eventually escaping with the bubbles, thus achieving hydrogen removal. Simultaneously, the rising bubbles carry away some slag inclusions, achieving slag-liquid separation. Currently, inert gas is typically injected into the permeable bricks through an inert gas storage tank, dispersing the inert gas into the aluminum molten material in the form of small bubbles. In this process, the sealing of the vent pipe is particularly important. Existing vent pipes have poor sealing performance when supplying gas to the permeable bricks, and gas leaks are not easily observed visually. Therefore, this utility model proposes a vent pipe sealing assembly for a casting and rolling degassing box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a sealing assembly for a vent pipe in a casting and rolling degassing box, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing vent pipe has poor sealing effect when conveying gas to diffuse permeable bricks, and it is not easy to visually observe that gas leakage has occurred in the vent pipe.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A vent pipe sealing assembly for a cast-rolled degassing box includes a box body, a diffuse permeable brick located on the bottom plate of the box body, and a gas storage tank located on the outer wall of the box body.
[0007] The bottom plate of the box has a pipe opening, and the bottom of the diffuse permeable brick is connected to an air inlet pipe. The air inlet pipe extends through the pipe opening to the outside of the box and connects to a vent pipe, which is connected to the gas storage tank.
[0008] in,
[0009] An I-type seal is embedded in the inlet of the pipe opening. An air channel is opened along the axial direction of the I-type seal. The top of the air channel is connected to the pipe opening, and the bottom is connected to one end of the delivery pipe. The other end of the delivery pipe is sealed to an inflatable sealing ring. The inflatable sealing ring is sleeved on the surface of the air inlet pipe.
[0010] A transparent protective cover is provided between the bottom of the box and the air inlet pipe, and the inflatable sealing ring is located inside the transparent protective cover.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the air intake pipe located inside the pipe opening is fitted with multiple elastic sealing rings.
[0012] Preferably, the surface of the air intake pipe located inside the pipe opening is provided with a plurality of first annular grooves, and the elastic sealing rings are fitted into the first annular grooves one by one.
[0013] Preferably, the surface of the intake pipe is spirally connected to the type I seal.
[0014] Preferably, the air intake pipe is further provided with a second annular groove, and the inflatable sealing ring is fitted inside the second annular groove.
[0015] Preferably, the delivery pipe is located at the bottom of the type I seal and is an integral structure with the type I seal.
[0016] Preferably, one or more conveying pipes are evenly arranged.
[0017] Preferably, the diffuse permeable bricks are evenly distributed in multiple portions.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: An I-type seal is set at the inlet of the pipe. The I-type structure of the seal can play a sealing role. An air channel is opened on the I-type seal, which is connected to the inflatable sealing ring. When gas leakage occurs, the gas will enter the inflatable sealing ring through the air channel, causing the inflatable sealing ring to inflate and expand, thereby contacting the inner wall of the transparent protective cover to achieve further sealing and thus achieve a good sealing effect. At the same time, through the contact area between the inflatable sealing ring and the transparent protective cover, the gas leakage when the air inlet pipe delivers inert gas to the diffuse permeable brick can be directly observed.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a vent pipe sealing assembly for a casting and rolling degassing box, including a box body 10, a diffuse permeable brick 20 located on the bottom plate of the box body 10, and a gas storage tank 30 located on the outer wall of the box body 10.
[0032] The bottom plate of the box 10 has a pipe opening 101, and the bottom of the diffuse permeable brick 20 is connected to an air inlet pipe 40. The air inlet pipe 40 extends through the pipe opening 101 to the outside of the box 10 and is connected to a vent pipe 50. The vent pipe 50 is connected to the gas storage tank 30.
[0033] in,
[0034] An I-type seal 60 is embedded in the inlet of the pipe port 101. The I-type seal 60 has an air passage 601 in the axial direction. The top of the air passage 601 is connected to the pipe port 101, and the bottom is connected to one end of the delivery pipe 602. The other end of the delivery pipe 602 is sealed to an inflatable sealing ring 70. The inflatable sealing ring 70 is sleeved on the surface of the air inlet pipe 40.
[0035] A transparent protective cover 80 is provided between the bottom of the box 10 and the air inlet pipe 40, and the inflatable sealing ring 70 is located inside the transparent protective cover 80.
[0036] Specifically, the delivery pipe 602 is located at the bottom of the type I seal 60 and is an integral structure with the type I seal 60, thereby ensuring the sealing between the air passage 601 and the delivery pipe 602; in addition, the air passage 601 may be, but is not limited to, an interlayer arranged circumferentially on the type I seal 60.
[0037] An I-type seal 60 is installed at the inlet of pipe 101. The I-type structure of the seal can play a sealing role. An air passage 601 is opened on the I-type seal 60, which is connected to the inflatable sealing ring 70. When gas leakage occurs, the gas will enter the inflatable sealing ring 70 through the air passage 601, causing the inflatable sealing ring 70 to inflate and expand, thereby contacting the inner wall of the transparent protective cover 80 to achieve further sealing and thus achieve a good sealing effect. At the same time, through the contact area between the inflatable sealing ring 70 and the transparent protective cover 80, the gas leakage when the air inlet pipe 40 delivers inert gas to the diffuse permeable brick 20 can be directly observed.
[0038] To further ensure the sealing effect, multiple elastic sealing rings 90 are fitted on the surface of the air intake pipe 40 inside the pipe opening 101.
[0039] Since the internal pressure of the pipe opening 101 will increase when gas leakage occurs, in order to prevent the elastic sealing ring 90 from shifting and affecting the sealing performance, the surface of the pipe body of the air inlet pipe 40 located inside the pipe opening 101 is provided with multiple first annular grooves 401, and the elastic sealing ring 90 is fitted into the first annular grooves 401 one by one.
[0040] In the event of a gas leak, in order to ensure that the gas can enter the inflatable sealing ring 70 from the air passage 601, the connection and sealing performance between the air inlet pipe 40 and the type I seal 60 also need to be considered. Specifically, the surface of the air inlet pipe 40 is provided with an external thread 403, and the air inlet pipe 40 is spirally connected to the type I seal 60 through the external thread 403.
[0041] Since the inflatable sealing ring 70 may shift during inflation, a second annular groove 402 is provided on the air inlet pipe 40. The inflatable sealing ring 70 is fitted into the second annular groove 402 to ensure that the position of the inflatable sealing ring 70 is fixed and to avoid affecting the sealing effect.
[0042] Furthermore, one or more delivery pipes 602 are evenly provided, wherein multiple delivery pipes 602 can make the inflatable sealing ring 70 expand evenly, ensuring consistent sealing effect everywhere.
[0043] In order to generate enough bubbles to quickly and evenly remove hydrogen and inclusions from the molten aluminum, multiple diffuse permeable bricks 20 are evenly distributed.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
