The air inlet is connected to an air source, and the air outlet is located on the side of the air box closest to the conveyor belt. However, this method cannot achieve sufficient and uniform cooling of the metal casting, thus affecting the cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a metal casting air-cooling device that can cool different parts of the metal casting, so that the metal casting can obtain a more sufficient cooling effect.

[0004] This utility model discloses a metal casting air-cooling device, including a worktable, a base, a conveying assembly, and an air-cooling component. The bottom of the worktable is mounted on the top of the base, the top of the worktable is mounted on the conveying assembly, the conveying assembly is mounted on the rotating component, and the air-cooling component is mounted on the top of the worktable. When the casting is placed on the conveying assembly on the top of the worktable, the casting is moved. The air-cooling component is activated to blow air onto the casting, and the rotating component can drive the casting to rotate, thus cooling it comprehensively. This allows for cooling of different parts of the metal casting, resulting in a more thorough cooling effect.

[0005] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes multiple support rods, a support plate, a reducer, a drive motor, and a conveying disc. The multiple support rods are axially mounted on the inner wall of the base, and the support plate is mounted on the top of the support rods. A rotating groove is opened on the top of the worktable, and the conveying disc is rotatably mounted in the rotating groove. The reducer is mounted on the bottom of the support plate, and the output end of the reducer is coaxially connected to the bottom of the conveying disc. The input end of the reducer is connected to the output end of the drive motor. When the drive motor is started, it drives the conveying disc to rotate in the rotating groove through the reducer. After the casting is placed on the top of the conveying disc, it is driven to move at a uniform speed to cool it evenly.

[0006] Preferably, the air-cooled component includes multiple fixed seats, multiple air ducts, multiple sets of cooling nozzles, multiple air inlet pipes, multiple solenoid valves, air delivery pipes, and a fan. Fixed seats are installed at the bottom of the air ducts, and these fixed seats are mounted on the outer wall of the workbench. Multiple cooling nozzles are installed on the inner wall of the air ducts. The input end of the air duct is connected to an air inlet pipe, and a solenoid valve is installed on the air inlet pipe. The input end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the air delivery pipe. The fan is mounted on the rear side wall of the base, and the output end of the fan is connected to the air delivery pipe. When the fan is started, air is supplied to the air delivery pipe, entering the air duct through the air inlet pipe. It is then sprayed out through the multiple cooling nozzles to cool the casting. The air volume entering the air duct is adjusted by the solenoid valves, gradually increasing the airflow to lower the temperature and prevent damage to the casting's performance, which could lead to localized cracks and scrapping.

The annular cylinder is installed on the inner wall of the base, and a toothed ring is provided on the inner wall of the annular cylinder. The gears mesh with the toothed ring. When the casting is placed on top of the heat-insulating disc, the rotating shafts are driven to rotate through the engagement of the toothed ring and gears on the annular cylinder. The rotating shafts drive the heat-insulating discs to rotate, causing the casting to rotate and thus providing comprehensive cooling. This allows for cooling of different parts of the metal casting, resulting in a more thorough cooling effect.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes multiple mounting bases and multiple infrared thermometers. The mounting bases are installed on the rear side of the top of the air duct, and the infrared thermometers are installed at the bottom of the mounting bases. When the casting passes under the infrared thermometers, the temperature of the casting is detected, and the solenoid valve can be controlled to adjust the air output of the cooling nozzles in real time. This makes it easy to control the cooling efficiency of the casting and avoid excessive temperature drop, which would affect the quality of the casting.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes a limiting rotating ring and a second rotating ring. A limiting rotating groove is opened on the inner side of the rotating groove at the top of the worktable. A limiting rotating ring is installed on the outer wall of the conveyor plate and is rotatably installed in the limiting rotating groove. A second rotating groove is opened on the lower inner wall of the worktable. A third rotating ring is installed on the lower outer wall of the conveyor plate and is rotatably installed in the second rotating groove. When the conveyor plate rotates, it drives the limiting rotating ring and the second rotating ring to rotate in the limiting rotating groove and the second rotating groove, which supports and guides them, enhances the connection strength, and ensures stability.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a third rotating ring. A third rotating groove is provided on the outer wall of the support plate, and a third rotating ring is installed on the inner wall of the conveying plate. The third rotating ring is rotatably installed in the third rotating groove. When the conveying plate rotates, it drives the third rotating ring to rotate in the third rotating groove, which enhances the connection strength between the conveying plate and the support plate and further enhances the stability.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the casting is placed on the conveying assembly at the top of the workbench, which drives the casting to move. The air-cooling component is activated to blow air onto the casting. The rotating component can drive the casting to rotate, thus cooling it comprehensively.

The fan 15 is started to supply air into the air supply pipe 14, which is then input into the air duct 9 through the air inlet pipe 12. The air is sprayed out through multiple cooling nozzles 10 to cool the casting.
