Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of melt filtration, and particularly relates to a filter box for reducing the pouring and dry-out amount of an aluminum alloy melt. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aluminum alloy casting process is a forming technology that fills and solidifies by injecting molten aluminum alloy into a prefabricated mold using external forces such as gravity, pressure or vacuum, and is suitable for producing complex-shaped metal parts, widely used in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, etc.

[0003] Aluminum alloy semi-continuous casting is a process that continuously pours molten aluminum into a mold to form long-size ingots through staged solidification. During the melt pouring process, in order to ensure that there are no bubbles, shrinkage holes and other defects in the castings, additional melt volume is required. This additional melt volume is usually referred to as "dry-out amount". Some common problems exist in the semi-continuous casting process, especially during the pouring process, which can affect the casting quality and cause metal waste, including the following problems: (1) Increase in dry-out amount: During the casting process, part of the aluminum alloy solution is wasted due to unstable flow or other reasons, resulting in the need for more metal raw materials to supplement, increasing the dry-out amount and reducing the casting efficiency and economy. (2) Unstable flow of aluminum alloy solution: During the flow of aluminum alloy solution into the mold, phenomena such as turbulent flow, excessive flow rate or uneven flow may occur. These unstable flows can easily lead to waste of aluminum alloy solution in the mold, and even cause problems such as aluminum alloy solution overflow and rapid cooling.

[0004] To solve this problem, adding filler blocks to the filter box during pouring can effectively solve the above problems. The filler blocks can reduce the dry-out amount during casting, adjust the flow rate and stabilize the flow of aluminum alloy solution. The filler blocks in the filter box can effectively adjust the flow rate of the aluminum alloy solution, preventing the aluminum alloy solution from flowing too fast or too slow. By slowing down the flow rate, overflow and loss of aluminum alloy solution are avoided, thereby reducing unnecessary metal waste and dry-out amount. The filler blocks can also improve the stability of the casting process. The design of the filler blocks in the filter box can effectively alleviate the phenomena of turbulent flow and uneven temperature of the aluminum alloy solution during the casting process, maintaining the stable flow of the aluminum alloy solution in the mold, thereby reducing the waste of the aluminum alloy solution and casting defects, and improving the production efficiency. At the same time, the heat exchange is optimized. The use of filler blocks in the filter box can help the aluminum alloy solution cool evenly during the casting process by optimizing the heat distribution of the aluminum alloy solution. This can reduce the loss of the aluminum alloy solution in the supercooling section, avoid wasting part of the aluminum alloy solution, and thus reduce the dry-out amount.

[0005] However, the filler block is in the environment of molten aluminum for a long time, especially in a high temperature environment, the service life of the filler block will have a great influence, and the filler block must be replaced regularly to ensure the stability of the effect. The addition of the filler block increases the contact area with the molten aluminum, thereby causing the temperature of the molten aluminum to decrease, increasing the energy loss, thereby forming a waste of energy. The layout and material of the filler block can cause the molten aluminum to flow unevenly in the filter box, affecting the distribution of the molten aluminum, and thus affecting the quality of the castings. For example, some areas can produce pores, cracks or other defects due to poor flow. The material and maintenance cost of the filler block is an additional expense. In particular, the need to regularly replace the filler block or repair it when it is damaged increases the production cost. Content of the utility model

[0006] In view of the problem of large loss of the filler block existing in the existing aluminum alloy melt filter, the utility model provides a filter box for reducing the pouring and drying amount of aluminum alloy melt, to solve the above problems.

[0007] The technical scheme of the utility model is as follows:

[0008] A filter box for reducing the pouring and drying amount of aluminum alloy melt, comprising a filter box body; the filter box body is internally provided with a filler block, the filler block is suspended in the central part of the inside of the filter box body; the top of the filler block is provided with an ear; the wall body above the filter box body is provided with a winch, the bottom end of the cable in the winch is fixedly provided with a hook; the ear and the hook are detachably connected; the lower part of the filter box body is provided with a filter plate; the lower part of the filter plate is provided with a liquid outlet.

[0009] Further, the filler block is a cuboid or a cylinder. The cuboid filler block can reduce the drying amount to a greater extent, and the cylindrical filler block can reduce the collision between the filler block and the filter box, thereby protecting the lining of the filter box.

[0010] Further, the sidewall of the filter box body is provided with a liquid inlet; the height of the ear is higher than that of the liquid inlet. In this way, the excessive contact of the iron ear with the molten aluminum can be prevented, thereby preventing excessive impurity elements.

[0011] Further, the gap between the filler block and the sidewall of the filter box body is filled with a filler material. During the flow of the aluminum alloy solution into the mold, turbulence, excessive flow rate or uneven flow may occur. By filling the gap between the filler block and the sidewall of the filter box body with a filler material, the flow rate of the melt entering the filter box can be stabilized in the box body, thereby preventing the liquid flow from impacting the filler block and causing the filler block to shake and collide with the filter box.

[0012] Further, the top of the filter box body is provided with a U-shaped cover plate; the cable passes through the gap of the U-shaped cover plate and extends into the inside of the filter box body.

[0013] Further, the filling block is H13 hot work die steel, and a surface of the filling block is coated with a ceramic coating or a graphite-based coating.

[0014] Further, the filling material is aluminum silicate asbestos felt.

[0015] Further, the filter box has a specification of 10T, 20T or 30T.

[0016] The aluminum alloy melt filter box has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The aluminum alloy melt filter box has the following beneficial effects: BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
