[0027] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a zinc alloy ingot cooling conveyor line that can perform position correction, cooling, forward and reverse detection and correction of zinc alloy ingots on the zinc alloy ingot conveyor chain, ensuring the efficient execution of subsequent palletizing processes.

[0028] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] See Figure 1 The zinc alloy ingot cooling conveyor line includes an ingot conveyor chain 1 and a forming ingot conveyor chain 2. The forming ingot conveyor chain 2 is installed on the lower side of the end of the ingot conveyor chain 1. A hammer 3 is installed on the frame at the end of the ingot conveyor chain 1. A position correction mechanism 4 and a zinc alloy ingot forward and reverse detection correction mechanism 6 are sequentially installed on the forming ingot conveyor chain 2.

[0031] The zinc alloy ingot falls from the ingot conveyor chain 1 onto the forming ingot conveyor chain 2. Then, the position of the zinc alloy ingot is corrected by the position correction mechanism 4. The forward and reverse direction of the zinc alloy ingot is detected by the zinc alloy ingot forward and reverse detection correction mechanism 6, and the zinc alloy ingot that is being flipped is flipped. The hammer 3 automatically strikes the ingot mold on the ingot conveyor chain 1 to ensure that the zinc alloy ingot can fall off normally. The automatic striking structure of the hammer 3 is a conventional technology in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0032] The zinc alloy ingot forward and reverse detection and correction mechanism 6 includes a detection spring 61, a limiting block 64, and a flipping clamping device 65. The detection spring 61 is obliquely mounted on the middle of two conveyor chains via a spring mounting bracket 62. The top of the detection spring 61 is higher than the upper end face of the conveyor chain, and the height of the detection spring 61 beyond the upper end face of the conveyor chain is less than the depth of the groove in the middle of the upper end face of the zinc alloy ingot. An acceleration sensor 63 is mounted on the detection spring 61. The limiting block 64 and the flipping clamping device 65 are respectively mounted on the rear side of the detection spring 61. On the frames on both sides of the forming ingot conveyor chain 2, a first positioning detection device 66 is installed on the limiting block 64. The first positioning detection device 66 is located directly above the forming ingot conveyor chain 2. The acceleration sensor 63, the first positioning detection device 66, and the flipping clamping device 65 are electrically connected to the controller of the device. The flipping clamping device 65 includes a rotary telescopic cylinder 651 and a flipping clamp 652. The rotary telescopic cylinder 651 is installed on one side of the frame of the forming ingot conveyor chain 2, and a flipping clamp 652 matching the thickness of the zinc alloy ingot is connected to its telescopic rod.

[0033] A groove is provided in the center of the reverse side of the zinc alloy ingot. When the zinc alloy ingot is conveyed on the forming ingot conveyor chain 2, see... Figure 2 When the zinc alloy ingot is conveyed face down, its lower surface presses down on the detection spring 61, causing the detection spring 61 to move. The acceleration sensor 63 installed on it detects the movement of the detection spring 61 and transmits the signal to the controller of the device. See [link to device controller]. Figure 3 When the zinc alloy ingot is conveyed with its reverse side facing down, the detection spring 61 will not move due to the presence of the groove. The first positioning detection device 66 behind it detects whether the zinc alloy ingot has passed. When the acceleration sensor 63 detects the movement of the detection spring 61, it proves that the zinc alloy ingot is conveyed with its front side facing down, and the flipping clamping device 65 does not operate. When the acceleration sensor 63 does not detect the movement of the detection spring 61, but the first positioning detection device 66 detects that the zinc alloy ingot has reached its bottom, it proves that the zinc alloy ingot is conveyed with its reverse side facing down. The controller of the device controls the rotation telescopic cylinder 651 to move. The rotation telescopic cylinder 651 extends and drives the flipping clamp 652 to extend and clamp the zinc alloy ingot. The limit block 64 limits the zinc alloy ingot to prevent it from moving laterally during the clamping process. Then the rotation telescopic cylinder 651 controls the flipping clamp 652 to flip the zinc alloy ingot.

[0034] The flip clamp 652 uses a fixed opening clamp that matches the thickness of the zinc alloy ingot or a clamping device with an adjustable opening. Such clamps are conventional mechanical structures and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] See Figure 4 Based on Embodiment 1, the position correction mechanism 4 includes a limiting plate 41, a limiting plate control cylinder 42, a correction push plate 43, and a push plate control cylinder 44. The limiting plate 41 is vertically installed between two conveyor chains via the limiting plate control cylinder 42. The correction push plate 43 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the frame of the forming ingot conveyor chain 2 via the push plate control cylinder 44, and the correction push plate 43 is located in front of the limiting plate 41. A second positioning detection device 45 is installed on the limiting plate 41. The limiting plate control cylinder 42, the push plate control cylinder 44, and the second positioning detection device 45 are electrically connected to the controller of the device.

[0037] A second positioning detection device 45 is installed on the limiting plate 41. The limiting plate control cylinder 42 is in the extended state. When the second positioning detection device 45 detects that the zinc alloy ingot is in place, it transmits a signal to the controller of the device. The controller controls the push plate control cylinder 44 to run, driving the two straightening push plates 43 to clamp and push the two ends of the zinc alloy ingot at the same time. The pushing limit position of the straightening push plate 43 is at the position where the zinc alloy ingot is neatly conveyed. Then, the push plate control cylinder 44 retracts, the limiting plate control cylinder 42 retracts, and the limiting plate 41 moves down to the lower side of the zinc alloy ingot. The straightened zinc alloy ingot continues to be conveyed on the forming ingot conveyor chain 2.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] See Figure 5 Based on Example 1, a cooling mechanism 5 is also installed on the forming ingot conveyor chain 2. The cooling mechanism 5 is located between the position correction mechanism 4 and the zinc alloy ingot forward and reverse detection correction mechanism 6. The cooling mechanism 5 includes a cooling cover 51 and a water supply pipe 52. The cooling cover 51 is installed on the forming ingot conveyor chain 2. Its top is connected to a water supply device through the water supply pipe 52. The lower end of the water supply pipe 52 passes through the top of the cooling cover 51 and is connected to a cooling pipe 53. Cooling nozzles 54 are evenly installed on the cooling pipe 53. A recovery water tank 55 is provided on the lower side of the cooling cover 51. The outlet of the recovery water tank 55 is connected to a cooling tower 56. The outlet of the cooling tower 56 is connected to the water supply device.

[0040] The water supply device supplies water through the water supply pipe 52. The water flows through the water supply pipe 52 into the cooling pipe 53, and then sprays water onto the zinc alloy ingot through the cooling nozzle 54 to cool it. The sprayed water is recycled into the recycling water tank 55. The water in the recycling water tank 55 enters the cooling tower 56 for cooling, and then flows back to the water supply device for recycling, saving water resources. A water supply valve is installed on the water supply pipe 52 to facilitate the control of the cooling water.

Furthermore, the terms "include," "contain," or any other variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
