Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum ingot production, and in particular to a cooling mechanism for aluminum ingot production. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum is the world's second largest non-ferrous metal in terms of both production and consumption, after steel. Due to its lightweight nature and increasingly wide range of applications, aluminum production is increasing year by year. Currently, the production process for aluminum ingots involves first melting molten aluminum, then pouring the molten aluminum into a mold. After cooling and solidification, the ingot is removed. High-utility aluminum ingots are produced primarily from recycled aluminum. The aluminum ingot production line uses a conveyor chain to circulate the aluminum mold. The molten aluminum cools naturally in the horizontal section of the production line, but in the inclined section, the ingot needs to be sprayed for cooling to quickly solidify. Currently, most cooling systems only spray the upper surface of the ingot in the upper section of the production line, failing to spray the lower surface of the aluminum mold in the upper section or the aluminum mold in the lower section. Spraying the lower surface of the aluminum mold in the upper section would accelerate the cooling of the ingot, while spraying the aluminum mold in the lower section would quickly cool the mold itself. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cooling mechanism for aluminum ingot production.

[0004] This utility model provides a cooling mechanism for aluminum ingot production, including a water inlet pipe 1. The water inlet pipe 1 is connected to a first spray pipe 3 extending backward and a bent connecting pipe 2. The connecting pipe 2 is connected to two second spray pipes 4 extending backward. The first spray pipe 3 and one of the second spray pipes 4 spray downward, and the other second spray pipe 4 sprays upward. The connecting pipe 2 and the water inlet pipe 1 are connected to the aluminum ingot production line by a stabilizing component.

[0005] Furthermore, the stabilizing component includes a fixing block 5 fixed to the aluminum ingot production line, a first stabilizing block 6 is provided at the right end of the fixing block 5, a second stabilizing block 7 is provided at the rear end of the first stabilizing block 6, the connecting pipe 2 is tied to the fixing block 5 and the first stabilizing block 6, and the water inlet pipe 1 is tied to the second stabilizing block 7.

[0007] Furthermore, a first reinforcing rib is provided between the fixing block 5 and the first stabilizing block 6, and a second reinforcing rib is provided between the first stabilizing block 6 and the second stabilizing block 7.

[0008] Furthermore, a switch valve is provided at each of the connecting pipe 2, the first spray pipe 3, and the two second spray pipes 4.

[0009] Furthermore, the two second spray pipes 4 are disposed on the left and right sides of the opening of the connecting pipe 2, and the second spray pipes 4 are disposed at an angle.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are as follows: the water inlet pipes are connected to the first spray pipe and two second spray pipes respectively, forming a spray layout with different directions of downward and upward spraying, which can quickly complete the cooling of aluminum ingots and aluminum molds; the first spray pipe extends backward to the upper part of the aluminum ingot production line, and the second spray pipe extends backward to the area between the upper and lower parts of the aluminum ingot production line; the first spray pipe directly sprays the aluminum ingots on the aluminum molds on the upper part of the production line, the upward spraying second spray pipes spray the lower surface of the aluminum molds on the upper part of the production line, and the downward spraying second spray pipes spray the aluminum molds at the lower end of the production line, thereby improving the cooling efficiency; the connecting pipes and each spray pipe are controlled by the switch valve; the connecting pipes and the water inlet pipes are tied to the stabilizing block, thereby stabilizing the pipeline and preventing the spray pipeline from shaking or shifting during the operation of the production line. The tying and fixing method can quickly complete maintenance work; the concave stabilizing block can accommodate the water inlet pipe and the connecting pipe for binding, and the square tube fixing block can accommodate the connecting pipe to lean against; the reinforcing ribs can strengthen the structural strength between the fixing block, the first stabilizing block, and the second stabilizing block.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0017] See Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a cooling mechanism for aluminum ingot production, comprising a water inlet pipe 1, a first spray pipe 3 extending rearward and a bent connecting pipe 2 connected to the water inlet pipe 1, and two second spray pipes 4 extending rearward connected to the connecting pipe 2. The first spray pipe extends rearward above the upper section of the aluminum ingot production line, and the second spray pipes extend rearward between the upper and lower sections of the aluminum ingot production line. One of the first spray pipes 3 and one of the second spray pipes 4 sprays downward, while the other sprays upward. The water inlet pipe is connected to the first spray pipe and the two second spray pipes respectively through the connecting pipe, forming a spraying layout with different directions of downward and upward spraying. The first spray pipe directly sprays the aluminum ingots on the upper section of the aluminum mold on the production line. The second spray pipe, which sprays upwards, sprays the lower surface of the upper section of the aluminum mold on the production line, thereby quickly cooling the aluminum ingots. The second spray pipe, which sprays downwards, sprays the aluminum mold at the lower end of the production line, thereby quickly cooling the aluminum mold and improving cooling efficiency. The connecting pipe 2 and the water inlet pipe 1 are connected to the aluminum ingot production line through a sturdy component. Switch valves are installed at the connecting pipe 2, the first spray pipe 3, and the two second spray pipes 4. The switch valves at the connecting pipes control the two second spray pipes, the switch valves of the second spray pipes control the second spray pipes, and the switch valves of the first spray pipes control the first spray pipe.

[0018] The stabilizing components include a fixing block 5 fixed to the aluminum ingot production line, a first stabilizing block 6 at the right end of the fixing block 5, and a second stabilizing block 7 at the rear end of the first stabilizing block 6. A connecting pipe 2 is tied to the fixing block 5 and the first stabilizing block 6, and a water inlet pipe 1 is tied to the second stabilizing block 7. The fixing blocks are welded to the aluminum ingot production line, and the connecting pipe and water inlet pipe are tied to the stabilizing blocks, thereby stabilizing the pipeline and preventing the spray pipeline from shaking or shifting during production line operation. The tied fixing method allows for quick maintenance.

[0019] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The fixing block 5 is a square tube, and the first stabilizing block 6 and the second stabilizing block 7 are both concave. The concave stabilizing blocks can accommodate the water inlet pipe and connecting pipe for binding, while the square tube fixing blocks can accommodate the connecting pipe to rest on its side.

[0020] A first reinforcing rib is provided between the fixed block 5 and the first stabilizing block 6, and a second reinforcing rib is provided between the first stabilizing block 6 and the second stabilizing block 7. The reinforcing ribs can enhance the structural strength between the fixed block, the first stabilizing block, and the second stabilizing block.

[0021] Two second spray pipes 4 are installed on the left and right sides of the opening of the connecting pipe 2, and the second spray pipes 4 are installed at an angle. The angle of the second spray pipes is the same as that of the aluminum ingot production line. One second spray pipe sprays the lower surface of the upper section of the aluminum ingot production line, and the other second spray pipe sprays the upper surface of the lower section of the aluminum ingot production line.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
