Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum ingot production technology, and in particular to an automatic aluminum ingot production equipment. Background Technology
[0002] After aluminum ingots are cast, they need to be cooled and shaped. Immersing the aluminum ingots in cooling water utilizes the high thermal conductivity of water to quickly remove heat from the surface and interior of the aluminum ingots, thereby accelerating the cooling speed. Currently, aluminum ingots are cooled and shaped directly with water. However, direct water cooling has a poor cooling effect and is too slow, resulting in an excessively long cooling time.
[0003] The utility model patent with publication number CN221848632U provides an aluminum ingot forming and cooling device for an aluminum ingot production line. By setting up a first rotating rod, a stirring component, a second rotating rod, and a cam, etc., and cooperating with each other, the water in the cooling tank is stirred and shaken, which can improve the water flow and thus efficiently cool the aluminum ingot, thereby achieving the purpose of improving cooling efficiency.
[0004] The above method cools the aluminum ingot by stirring the water to make it flow. The aluminum ingot continuously releases heat, making the water temperature near the ingot relatively high. However, the water flow caused by stirring requires time, resulting in poor cooling effect on the aluminum ingot. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic aluminum ingot production equipment that solves the problem that the continuous heat released by the aluminum ingot causes the water temperature near the ingot to be high, while the time required to make the water flow through stirring results in poor cooling effect on the aluminum ingot.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic aluminum ingot production equipment, including a cooling box and a moving assembly; the moving assembly includes two telescopic structures, a mounting plate, and a fixed seat. The two telescopic structures are spaced apart and arranged inside the cooling box. The mounting plate is positioned above the two telescopic structures. The fixed seat is slidably connected to the mounting plate and is located above the mounting plate. The upper end of the fixed seat has a placement cavity. The telescopic structure includes a first screw, a sleeve, and a mounting seat. The bottom of the first screw is rotatably connected to the cooling box. The sleeve is threadedly connected to the first screw. The bottom of the sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the first screw. The top of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the mounting seat. The mounting seat is rotatably connected to the mounting plate and is located at the bottom of the mounting plate.
[0007] The fixed base has a positioning bracket at its bottom, and the upper end of the mounting plate has a positioning groove that matches the positioning bracket. The positioning bracket is located inside the positioning groove.
[0008] The movable component further includes a fixing structure, which includes a second screw and a fixing frame. The second screw is threadedly connected to the fixing seat and passes through the fixing seat. The fixing frame is slidably connected to the fixing seat and is located inside the placement cavity. One end of the second screw is rotatably connected to the fixing frame.
[0009] The fixed structure further includes a rotating frame, which is fixedly connected to the second screw and is located at the end of the second screw away from the fixed frame.
[0010] The mobile component further includes a drying structure, which comprises a robotic arm and a blower. The bottom of the robotic arm is fixedly connected to the cooling box, and the blower is fixedly installed at the output end of the robotic arm.
[0011] This utility model discloses an automatic aluminum ingot production equipment. During the aluminum ingot production process, when cooling and forming is required, the aluminum ingot is placed in the placement cavity of the fixed seat. Two first screws rotate, causing the mounting plate to descend and the fixed seat to move into the coolant in the cooling tank for cooling. Once the fixed seat is fully submerged in the coolant, one of the first screws stops rotating, while the other rotates, causing the mounting plate to tilt. The fixed seat slides on the mounting plate under gravity, allowing the aluminum ingot to move with the fixed seat in the coolant, thus rapidly cooling the ingot. When the fixed seat reaches the end of the mounting plate, the rotating first screw stops rotating, while the stationary first screw rotates, causing the mounting plate to tilt in another direction. This allows the fixed seat to slide from one end of the mounting plate to the other, allowing the aluminum ingot to move again in the coolant, ensuring the aluminum ingot remains in contact with the cooler coolant, thereby improving the cooling effect.

[0017] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an automated aluminum ingot production equipment according to this utility model. Figure 2 This is a top view of an automated aluminum ingot production equipment according to this utility model. Figure 3 This utility model relates to an automated aluminum ingot production equipment. Figure 2 A partial sectional view at point AA.
[0019] This utility model provides an automatic aluminum ingot production equipment, including a cooling box 100 and a moving component; the moving component includes two telescopic structures, a mounting plate 210 and a fixed base 220, a fixing structure and a drying structure, the telescopic structure includes a first screw 230, a sleeve 240 and a mounting base 250, the fixing structure includes a second screw 260, a fixing frame 270 and a rotating frame 280, and the drying structure includes a robotic arm 290 and a blower 310;
[0020] In this specific embodiment, two telescopic structures are spaced apart inside the cooling tank 100. The mounting plate 210 is positioned above the two telescopic structures. The fixing seat 220 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 210 and is located above the mounting plate 210. The upper end of the fixing seat 220 has a placement cavity 221. The bottom of the first screw 230 is rotatably connected to the cooling tank 100. The sleeve 240 is threadedly connected to the first screw 230, with its bottom fitted onto the outside of the first screw 230. The top of the sleeve 240 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 250, which is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 210 and located at the bottom of the mounting plate 210. The length of the telescopic structures is extendable. The two telescopic structures support the mounting plate 210. The fixing seat 220 can move above the mounting plate 210. The cooling tank 100 is filled with coolant. The first screw 230 can be driven to rotate by a motor. When the first screw 230 rotates, the sleeve 240 can move up and down relative to the first screw 230, causing the mounting base 250 to move up and down, thereby driving the mounting plate 210 to move up and down. During the aluminum ingot production process, when cooling and forming are required, the aluminum ingot is placed in the placement cavity 221 of the fixed base 220. The two first screws 230 rotate respectively, causing the mounting plate 210 to descend so that the fixed base 220 moves into the coolant in the cooling tank 100 for cooling. When the fixed base 220 is completely submerged in the coolant, one of the first screws 230 stops rotating, while the other first screw 230 rotates, causing the mounting plate 210 to tilt. The fixed base 220 slides on the mounting plate 210 under gravity, allowing the aluminum ingot to move with the fixed base 220 in the coolant, thereby rapidly cooling the aluminum ingot. However, when the fixing seat 220 moves to the end of the mounting plate 210, the first screw 230, which is in a rotating state, stops rotating, and the first screw 230, which is in a stationary state, rotates, causing the mounting plate 210 to tilt in another direction. This causes the fixing seat 220 to slide from one end of the mounting plate 210 to the other end, allowing the aluminum ingot to move again in the coolant along with the fixing seat 220. This ensures that the aluminum ingot is always in contact with the coolant at a lower temperature, thereby improving the cooling effect. This solves the problem that the aluminum ingot continuously releases heat, resulting in a high water temperature near the aluminum ingot, and that the water flow caused by stirring requires a certain time, leading to poor cooling effect on the aluminum ingot.
[0021] Furthermore, a positioning bracket 222 is provided at the bottom of the fixing base 220, and the upper end of the mounting plate 210 has a positioning groove 211 adapted to the positioning bracket 222. The positioning bracket 222 is located inside the positioning groove 211. The positioning bracket 222 can slide inside the positioning groove 211, and the positioning bracket 222 and the positioning groove 211 cooperate with each other to realize the sliding connection between the fixing base 220 and the mounting plate 210.
[0022] Specifically, the second screw 260 is threadedly connected to the fixed base 220, and the second screw 260 passes through the fixed base 220. The fixed frame 270 is slidably connected to the fixed base 220 and is located inside the placement cavity 221. One end of the second screw 260 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 270. The second screw 260 can rotate relative to the fixed base 220. When the second screw 260 rotates, the fixed frame 270 can move within the placement cavity 221 under the drive of the second screw 260, so that the fixed frame 270 can fix the aluminum ingot placed in the placement cavity 221 to prevent the aluminum ingot from falling out of the placement cavity 221 during movement in the coolant.
[0023] The rotating frame 280 is fixedly connected to the second screw 260, and the rotating frame 280 is located at the end of the second screw 260 away from the fixed frame 270. The rotating frame 280 is provided at the end of the second screw 260, and the second screw 260 is rotated by the rotating frame 280 to facilitate the rotation of the second screw 260.
[0024] In addition, the bottom of the robotic arm 290 is fixedly connected to the cooling box 100, and the blower 310 is fixedly installed at the output end of the robotic arm 290. The robotic arm 290 can drive the blower 310 to move, and the blower 310 can blow air onto the cooled aluminum ingot to dry it, thereby performing a drying process on the aluminum ingot.
[0025] When cooling and shaping aluminum ingots during the production process using an automated aluminum ingot production equipment, the aluminum ingot is placed in the placement cavity 221 of the fixed seat 220. The second screw 260 is rotated to move the fixed frame 270 to fix the aluminum ingot. The two first screws 230 rotate respectively, causing the mounting plate 210 to descend, allowing the fixed seat 220 to move into the coolant in the cooling tank 100 for cooling. Once the fixed seat 220 is fully submerged in the coolant, one of the first screws 230 stops rotating, while the other first screw 230 rotates, causing the mounting plate 210 to tilt. The fixed seat 220 is then used for gravity support. The aluminum ingot slides on the mounting plate 210, causing it to move in the coolant along with the fixing seat 220, thereby rapidly cooling the ingot. When the fixing seat 220 moves to the end of the mounting plate 210, the first screw 230, which is rotating, stops rotating, and the first screw 230, which is stationary, rotates, causing the mounting plate 210 to tilt in another direction. This allows the fixing seat 220 to slide from one end of the mounting plate 210 to the other end, causing the aluminum ingot to move again in the coolant along with the fixing seat 220. This ensures that the aluminum ingot is always in contact with the coolant, thus improving the cooling effect. After cooling, the aluminum ingot is removed from the coolant and dried using the blower 310.
[0026] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
