Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminium ingot casting, and particularly relates to a casting machine ingot supporting device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The casting machine has a process of placing the ingot before the mechanical hand grabs the ingot, which is the final step of the aligning machine, and the aligning machine integrates the first layer of the aluminium ingot stack through the ingot supporting device; since the first layer of the aluminium ingot stack needs four aluminium ingots with large faces upward and small faces downward for support, the friction of the chain on the aluminium ingots can make the four aluminium ingots overturn to one side, resulting in the aluminium ingots being rolled together, and personnel are in urgent need to enter for processing, which not only increases the risk of personnel, but also can cause the mechanical hand to be stuck and alarm and other equipment failures.

[0003] The current way to avoid the overturning of the aluminium ingots is as follows:

[0004] A single cylinder is used, and when the first layer enters below the mechanical hand, one cylinder is used for each aluminium ingot; according to the sequence, when each aluminium ingot reaches the corresponding position, the cylinder is lifted to make the aluminium ingot leave the chain and lose power.

[0005] The current scheme has the following disadvantages:

[0006] a. The signal position can only be installed upward, is easy to accumulate dust, has great interference, and requires a dedicated person to clean;

[0007] b. When the cylinder is lifted, it cannot be lowered, so that the aluminium ingots in the middle are easily missing, and the external aluminium ingots cannot enter;

[0008] c. It is difficult to handle faults, and the problem cannot be handled online. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0009] (I) Technical problem

[0010] The utility model aims to solve at least the problem that a set of cylinders needs to be configured for each aluminium ingot in the prior art, and the alignment of the aluminium ingots cannot be accurately controlled.

[0011] (II) Technical content

[0014] The lifting assembly is used for driving the lifting of the supporting plate, and the supporting plates in the front and rear groups of supporting mechanisms are located immediately below the front and rear end side ears of the aluminum ingot.

[0015] When the lifting assembly lifts the supporting plate upwards, the supporting plate approaches from below and contacts the side ears of the bottom layer of aluminum ingots, changes the original single ingot lifting mode of the air cylinder, and adopts the whole ingot lifting mode without lifting each aluminum ingot one by one.

[0016] The lifting assembly comprises lifting arm one and lifting arm two which are parallel to each other, and the bottom ends of the lifting arm one and the lifting arm two are rotationally connected with the frame, and the top ends thereof are hingedly connected with the supporting plate.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be apparently and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all the other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the range protected by the utility model.

[0030] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 , the casting machine supporting device, including belt conveyor 1 and supporting mechanism 2, wherein, the belt conveyor 1 adopts conventional conveyor structure, the conveying belt 11 on it is used to place the conveying aluminum ingot, the conveying belt 11 can be chain belt, if chain belt is selected, the belt roller in the belt conveyor 1 is chain wheel structure, there are side ears in the front and rear ends of the aluminum ingot, and the side ears in the front and rear ends extend to the front and rear sides of the horizontally placed conveying belt 11 respectively, so the width of the conveying belt 11 needs to be limited to be less than the length of the aluminum ingot;

[0031] The supporting mechanism 2 has two groups and is symmetrically installed on the front and rear walls of the rack in the belt conveyor 1, and the two sets of supporting mechanism 2 are installed as matched mechanisms. The supporting mechanism 2 is a special device arranged according to the shape of the aluminum ingot, which comprises a lifting assembly 21 installed on the rack and a supporting plate 22 installed on the top end of the lifting assembly 21. The lifting assembly 21 is used to drive the supporting plate 22 to lift and lower, and the supporting plates 22 in the front and rear two groups of supporting mechanism 2 are located directly below the side ears at the front and rear ends of the aluminum ingot.

[0032] The lowest point of the ears on both sides of the aluminum ingot is 8cm higher than the lowest point of the middle position of the aluminum ingot, and the lowest points of the ear positions of the four aluminum ingots after turning over are level, the supporting plate 22 is below the ears, when the lifting assembly 21 lifts the supporting plate 22 to move upward, the supporting plate 22 approaches from below and contacts the side ears of the multiple groups of aluminum ingots at the bottom layer, changing the original single ingot supporting mode of the air cylinder 214 to adopt integral ingot supporting.

[0033] The length of the supporting plate 22 is greater than the sum of the widths of the multiple groups of aluminum ingots at the bottom layer (generally, there are four groups of aluminum ingots at the bottom layer), so that the multiple groups of aluminum ingots at the bottom layer can be lifted, and the stable stacking of the aluminum ingots at the upper layer is facilitated.

[0034] The casting machine calculates the number of aluminum ingots before the aluminum ingots reach the lifting position. When the first aluminum ingot at the first layer enters the upper side of the supporting plate 22, the supporting plate 22 is lifted and held. When the mechanical hand grabs the ingot, the holding is released and the supporting plate 22 falls down, and the above process is repeated.

[0035] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The lifting assembly 21 comprises lifting arm one 211 and lifting arm two 213 which are parallel to each other, the bottom ends of the lifting arm one 211 and the lifting arm two 213 are rotationally connected with the frame, and the top ends are hingedly connected with the supporting plate 22, the lifting arm one 211, the lifting arm two 213, the supporting plate 22 and the connecting line between the bottom ends of the lifting arm one 211 and the lifting arm two 213 form a parallelogram, so that the lifting arm one 211 and the lifting arm two 213 can push the supporting plate 22 to lift up;

[0036] The lifting assembly 21 further comprises a cylinder 214, the tail end of the cylinder 214 is hingedly connected with the frame, and the front telescopic end is hingedly connected with the lower protrusion 212 at the bottom end of the lifting arm one 211; the cylinder 214 serves as a power source, when the first layer of aluminum ingots is in place, the cylinder 214 extends out, the supporting plate 22 is lifted up through the lever principle, so that the supporting plate 22 completes the extension and lifting actions, and the lifted supporting plate 22 can be kept below the ears of the aluminum ingots until the aluminum ingots are taken away, then the cylinder 214 is retracted, and the supporting plate 22 falls down;

[0037] The two groups of cylinders 214 are synchronously controlled by a group of electromagnetic valves, the supporting plate 22 is lifted up when the first layer of the first block enters, and the supporting plate 22 falls down when the second layer of the third block enters, at this time, the aluminum ingots are already in a stable state and are not easy to fall over;

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the specific model of the cylinder 214 and the matched electromagnetic valve, power supply and control switch in the embodiment can also be provided by the manufacturer, the circuit and electronic components and modules involved are prior art, and those skilled in the art can realize them without further description.

[0039] The unmanned or part-time supervision mode can be realized to improve the work efficiency of employees, greatly improve the neatness of the aluminum ingots, ensure the consistency of the stacking quality, reduce the work intensity of employees, reduce the comprehensive cost, improve the safety factor of employees and reduce the equipment failure rate.
