Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automatic aluminum feeding and weighing technology, specifically, it relates to an automatic aluminum feeding and weighing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the complex process of aluminum processing, the precise and efficient pouring of molten aluminum from the ladle and its smooth injection into the furnace is undoubtedly a crucial link in the entire production chain. This step not only affects the smooth operation of the production process but also directly impacts the quality of the final product and production efficiency. Traditional methods of pouring molten aluminum often rely on the operator's experience and intuition to control the flow rate, making it difficult to achieve precise control over the amount of molten aluminum. Therefore, in actual operation, the amount of molten aluminum often fluctuates and cannot be maintained at a stable level.

[0003] An unstable quantity of molten aluminum in the furnace can trigger a series of chain reactions in subsequent processing steps. As the fundamental raw material for aluminum processing, the quantity of molten aluminum directly affects the production quantity and quality. If too little molten aluminum is poured in, the furnace will lack sufficient reserves to meet the demands of subsequent production lines, leading to reduced production efficiency and potentially impacting the entire production plan. Conversely, excessive molten aluminum not only wastes raw materials and increases production costs but may also create safety hazards due to excessively high temperatures and pressures within the furnace.

[0027] See Figure 1As shown, an automatic aluminum feeding weighing device includes an automatic aluminum feeding mechanism 1 and three sets of weighing modules 2. The automatic aluminum feeding mechanism 1 includes a support platform 11 and a tilting platform 12. The weighing modules 2 are disposed on the platform 11, and simultaneously support and weigh the aluminum ladle. The tilting platform 12 is hinged to the support platform 11, and tilting the ladle on the support platform 11 allows the molten aluminum in the ladle to be poured into the furnace. It should be noted that the number of weighing modules 2 described above is only one embodiment and is not intended to limit the scope of this application. In actual implementation, the number of modules can be set according to actual needs.

[0028] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the weighing module 2 includes a weighing base 21 disposed on the support platform 11 and a weighing module 22 disposed on the weighing base 21. The weighing base 21 is made of steel plates spliced ​​together and connected by welding. The weighing module 22 is a Mettler Toli weighing module. During installation, the weighing base 21 is fixed to the support platform 11 by welding; while the weighing module 22 is locked to the weighing base 21 by corresponding bolts. See also... Figure 2 As shown, in the non-rotating state of the flipping platform 12, the upper end of the weighing module 22 protrudes from the upper surface of the flipping platform 12, and the protrusion height is preferably 5mm.

[0029] Further, see Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a flip angle control mechanism 3 for controlling the flip angle of the flip platform 12 is respectively provided at the hinge point of the support platform 11 and the flip platform 12; the flip angle control mechanism 3 includes a connecting plate 31, a sensing plate 32 and a pair of proximity switches 33; during installation, the connecting plate 31 is fixed on the support platform 11, the sensing plate 32 is fixed on the flip platform 12, and the pair of proximity switches 33 is fixed on the connecting plate 31; when the flip platform 12 flips, the flip position of the flip platform 12 is controlled by the cooperation of the sensing plate 32 and the pair of proximity switches 33.

[0030] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping platform 12 is provided with an aluminum cladding clamping mechanism 4. By providing the aluminum cladding clamping mechanism 4, the flipping platform 12 can firmly fix the aluminum cladding during the flipping process, thereby preventing swaying or slippage due to gravity and inertia during the flipping process, and thus ensuring the smooth progress of the flipping process.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0032] In use, after connecting the device of this application to the control system, the aluminum ladle is placed on the weighing module 22 to weigh the aluminum ladle. After obtaining the weight of the molten aluminum in the aluminum ladle, the control system drives the flipping platform 12 to start flipping. After the upper end of the flipping platform 12 exceeds the upper end of the weighing module 22 and is in contact with the bottom surface of the aluminum ladle, it drives the aluminum ladle to flip together, so as to pour the molten aluminum in the aluminum ladle into the furnace. This achieves precise control of the amount of molten aluminum poured into the furnace, which helps to maintain the stability of the amount of molten aluminum in the furnace, improves the uniformity and stability of the aluminum alloy composition, and thus improves the quality of the aluminum alloy.
