Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum ingot technology, and particularly relates to a forward-stacked aluminum ingot. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum ingots are the primary form of industrial aluminum, produced through the electrolysis of alumina (using cryolite as a solvent), and are referred to as "remelting aluminum ingots" according to national standards. Aluminum ingots are the "universal key" for aluminum processing, primarily used in two main applications: Cast aluminum alloys: used for complex thin-walled components such as aircraft parts and engine castings (e.g., Al-Si alloys). Wrought aluminum alloys: produced through pressure processing into sheets, tubes, etc., widely used in transportation vehicles (automobiles, rockets) to reduce weight.

[0003] When storing or transporting aluminum ingots, they are usually simply stacked using their own weight. However, this stacking method can cause them to fall and be damaged when they are hit by collisions or subjected to inertial braking during transportation. Even minor damage can cause the aluminum ingots to be extruded and become irregular, affecting transportation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a forward-stacking aluminum ingot to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A forward-stacking aluminum ingot includes an aluminum ingot body. A protruding plate is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the aluminum ingot body. A first groove is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the protruding plate. A second groove corresponding to the protruding plate is provided in the middle of the bottom of the aluminum ingot body. A protrusion corresponding to the first groove is provided in the middle of the bottom of the second groove. Insertion posts are provided at the four corners of the upper surface of the aluminum ingot body, and insertion holes are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the aluminum ingot body.

[0006] Preferably, a recessed edge is formed between the upper surface periphery of the aluminum ingot body and the convex plate, and a convex edge is formed between the bottom periphery of the aluminum ingot body and the second groove, wherein the size of the convex edge matches the size of the recessed edge.

[0007] Preferably, the dimensions of the convex plate match the dimensions of the second groove.

[0008] Preferably, the size of the protrusion matches the size of the first groove.

[0009] Preferably, the insertion pins and insertion holes are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence, and the size of the insertion pins matches the size of the insertion holes.

[0010] Preferably, the aluminum ingot body has binding grooves with openings at the top and bottom in the middle of all four sides of its sidewalls.

[0011] The positively stacked aluminum ingot of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. This utility model simplifies stacking by enabling aluminum ingots to be stacked in a forward overlapping manner. The ingots are stacked layer by layer upwards without any rotation or staggering, making operation convenient and fully utilizing the overall height of the ingots. Through the cooperation between the concave and convex edges, the cooperation between the convex plate and the second groove, the cooperation between the protrusion and the first groove, and the cooperation between the insertion post and the insertion hole, the upper and lower aluminum ingots can be firmly interlocked, ensuring the stability and reliability of the stacking. It also effectively ensures that the upper and lower aluminum ingots are stacked neatly, preventing misalignment that could lead to loosening and collapse. During storage and transportation, the aluminum ingots are firmly stacked, reducing the risk of damage from shaking or uneven stacking. Furthermore, the forward stacking is precise, efficient, and ensures stable transportation.

[0013] 2. By setting the binding groove, the binding straps can be used to further limit and fix the aluminum ingot stack after stacking. The binding grooves limit the binding straps and effectively prevent the binding straps from slipping off, thus ensuring the stability of the structure. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of a forward-stacking aluminum ingot according to this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, this utility model discloses a forward-stacking aluminum ingot, comprising an aluminum ingot body 1. A protruding plate 2 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the aluminum ingot body 1, and a first groove 3 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the protruding plate 2. A second groove 7, corresponding to the protruding plate 2, is provided at the center of the bottom of the aluminum ingot body 1. The dimensions of the protruding plate 2 and the second groove 7 are matched, so that when the aluminum ingots are stacked, the protruding plate 2 on the upper surface of the lower aluminum ingot will insert into the second groove 7 at the bottom of the upper aluminum ingot. A protrusion 9, corresponding to the first groove 3, is provided at the center of the bottom of the second groove 7. The dimensions of the protrusion 9 are matched, so that when the aluminum ingots are stacked, the protrusion 9 at the bottom of the upper aluminum ingot will insert into the first groove 3 on the upper surface of the lower aluminum ingot. Combined with the protruding plate 2 and the second groove 7, the two aluminum ingots are firmly interlocked, preventing the aluminum ingots from loosening and shaking during transportation. Furthermore, insertion posts 5 are provided at the four corners of the upper surface of the aluminum ingot body 1, and insertion holes 10 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the aluminum ingot body 1. The inserts 5 and the sockets 10 are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence, and the size of the inserts 5 matches the size of the sockets 10. Through the cooperation between the inserts 5 and the sockets 10, the positioning effect between the upper and lower aluminum ingots is further achieved. During storage and transportation, the aluminum ingots can be stacked firmly, and it is not easy for the aluminum ingots to fall and be damaged or for the stacked aluminum ingots to be squeezed out and become irregular. Furthermore, the forward stacking is accurate, efficient, and stable in transportation.

[0026] A recessed edge 4 is formed between the upper perimeter of the aluminum ingot body 1 and the protruding plate 2, and a protruding edge 8 is formed between the lower perimeter of the aluminum ingot body 1 and the second groove 7. The size of the protruding edge 8 matches the size of the recessed edge 4. Through the cooperation between the recessed edge 4 and the protruding edge 8, when the aluminum ingots are stacked, the upper and lower aluminum ingots will interlock, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the stacking, and effectively ensuring that the upper and lower aluminum ingots are stacked neatly, avoiding the phenomenon of loosening and collapse caused by the misalignment between the upper and lower aluminum ingots. The middle part of the four side walls of the aluminum ingot body 1 is provided with a binding groove 6 with openings at the top and bottom. Through the setting of the binding groove 6, after the stacking is completed, the binding straps can be further limited and fixed to the stack of aluminum ingots through the binding groove 6. The binding groove 6 plays a limiting role in the binding straps, which can effectively prevent the binding straps from slipping off and ensure the stability of the structure.

[0027] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
