Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of generator housing casting production technology, specifically a casting ladle for generator housing casting production. Background Technology

[0002] The process of pouring molten metal from a ladle into the generator housing mold is the casting step in generator housing production. During casting, the ladle precisely and quantitatively pours the loaded molten metal into the generator housing mold, achieving precise quantitative casting, and is a key piece of equipment in the casting process. However, most casting sites lack lifting equipment, which inconveniences the use of the ladle. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a ladle that does not require lifting equipment for casting operations.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent CN209363605U discloses a spheroidizing casting ladle, comprising a spheroidizing ladle and a hanger. The spheroidizing ladle has coaxial rotating shafts protruding from both sides. The hanger includes a horizontal rod and side rods fixed below both ends of the horizontal rod. The spheroidizing ladle is located in the middle of the hanger, and the rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the two side rods. A fixing plate is hinged to the outer surface of the spheroidizing ladle via a horizontal shaft. A fixing groove is formed inward at the end of the fixing plate away from the spheroidizing ladle. When both the spheroidizing ladle and the hanger are in a vertical position, the fixing plate can flip relative to the spheroidizing ladle to engage the side rods into the fixing groove. However, this device requires the use of appropriate lifting equipment in actual use, which limits its application. Furthermore, tilting the casting ladle requires manual operation with a handwheel, resulting in low efficiency and potential danger, thus reducing the safety of generator housing casting production.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-2 A casting ladle for producing generator housing castings includes a stabilizing block 1. A movable buffer mechanism is fixedly installed at the bottom of the stabilizing block 1. The movable buffer mechanism includes a support box 14. Multiple damping buffer cylinders 15 are fixedly connected between the bottom of the support box 14 and the bottom of the stabilizing block 1. A buffer spring 16 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the support box 14 and the bottom of the stabilizing block 1. During the movement, the up-and-down extension and retraction of the damping buffer cylinders 15 reduces the possibility of leakage of the casting liquid inside the casting ladle body 7. Furthermore, the characteristics of the damping buffer cylinders 15 prevent the support box 14 and the stabilizing block 1 from shaking randomly.

[0025] Please see Figures 3-4One end of the stabilizing block 1 has an adjustment groove. A first motor 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the stabilizing block 1. A rotating screw 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 2. The other end of the rotating screw 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom end inside the adjustment groove. A rotating sleeve 4 is screwed onto the outer wall of the rotating screw 3. A stabilizing plate 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating sleeve 4. Two adjusting plates 6 are fixedly connected to one end of the stabilizing plate 5. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to one end of each adjusting plate 6. A casting ladle body 7 is fixedly connected between the two rotating rods. One end of one of the rotating rods extends to one side of the adjusting plate 6 and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. A transmission mechanism is installed between the outer wall of the rotating shaft and one side of one of the adjusting plates 6.

[0026] The aforementioned transmission mechanism includes a second motor 8, an adjusting block fixedly connected to one end of an adjusting plate 6, an adjusting groove provided at one end of the adjusting block, one end of the second motor 8 fixedly connected to one end inside the adjusting groove, an adjusting screw 9 fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 8, the other end of the adjusting screw 9 rotatably connected to one end inside the adjusting groove, an adjusting sleeve 10 screwed onto the outer wall of the adjusting screw 9, a moving block 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting sleeve 10, a moving rack 12 fixedly connected to one end of the moving block 11, and a rotating gear 13 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, the rotating gear 13 meshing with the moving rack 12.

[0027] When the first motor 2 is powered on, the casting height of the casting ladle body 7 can be adjusted through the combined use of the first motor 2, rotating screw 3, rotating screw sleeve 4 and stabilizing plate 5. When pouring the casting liquid inside the casting ladle body 7, the second motor 8, adjusting screw 9, adjusting screw sleeve 10, moving block 11, moving rack 12, rotating gear 13 and rotating shaft can drive the rotating rod to rotate, thereby tilting the casting ladle body 7 and completing the pouring of the casting liquid. This eliminates the need for workers to get too close to the casting ladle body 7, improving safety during the casting process.

[0028] It should also be noted that one end of the stabilizing block 1 can be provided with two limiting grooves, and the inside of the two limiting grooves is slidably connected to a limiting slider 17. One end of the limiting slider 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the stabilizing plate 5 to improve the stability of the stabilizing plate 5 when it moves. The four corners of the bottom of the support box 14 are fixedly connected to movable casters 18. One end of the stabilizing block 1 is fixedly connected to two arc-shaped protective plates 19, and one end of the stabilizing block 1 is fixedly connected to a push handle 20, which facilitates the pushing of the whole device and protects the staff through the arc-shaped protective plates 19.

[0029] In summary, when this utility model is in use, firstly, when the first motor 2 is energized and started, the output end of the first motor 2 will drive the rotating screw 3 to rotate. The rotating screw 3, through threaded engagement, will drive the rotating sleeve 4 to move, and thus move the position of the stabilizing plate 5, thereby adjusting the casting height of the casting ladle body 7. Next, when pouring the casting liquid inside the casting ladle body 7, the second motor 8 is energized and started. The output end of the second motor 8 will drive the adjusting screw 9 to rotate. The adjusting screw 9, through threaded engagement, will drive the adjusting sleeve 10 to move. The adjusting sleeve 10 will drive the moving block 11 to move, and under the gear meshing of the moving rack 12 and the rotating gear 13, it will drive the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod to rotate, achieving the tilting of the casting ladle body 7, and completing the pouring of the casting liquid. Finally, during the movement, the up-and-down extension and retraction of the damping buffer cylinder 15 reduces the possibility of leakage of the casting liquid inside the casting pot body 7, and the characteristics of the damping buffer cylinder 15 prevent the support box 14 and the stabilizing block 1 from shaking randomly.
