Description

A cleaning device for stacked aluminum ingots Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum ingot cleaning, and in particular to a cleaning device for stacked aluminum ingots. 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 has been increasing year by year. Currently, the production process for aluminum ingots involves first melting molten aluminum, then pouring the molten aluminum into a mold, and finally removing the ingot after it cools and solidifies. High-utility aluminum ingots are produced primarily from recycled aluminum. Stacked ingots are stored in warehouses, where they accumulate dust and other pollutants. Before being released for use, cleaning is necessary. Currently, this is mostly done manually using air guns to blow away dust from the stacked ingots, which is not only inefficient but also causes dust to fly around. 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 cleaning device for stacked aluminum ingots.

[0004] This utility model provides a cleaning device for stacked aluminum ingots, including a frame 1 and a vacuum cleaner 9. The frame 1 is provided with a chain plate 2 driven by a motor. The upper and lower sections of the chain plate 2 are horizontally supported by the frame 1. Frames are arranged at equal intervals on the chain plate 2. The top of the frame 1 is provided with a cleaning box 4 with openings on the left and right. The cleaning box 4 is provided with an air knife 5 and a dust suction hood 8 connected to the vacuum cleaner 9. The dust suction hood 8 is located to the right of the air knife 5.

[0005] Furthermore, the frame assembly includes four frame blocks 3 arranged symmetrically in the front, back, left, and right directions.

[0006] Furthermore, the frame block 3 is concave and has rounded corners at its top edge.

[0007] Furthermore, the air blades 5 are distributed on the front and rear side walls and the upper wall of the cleaning box 4, and the dust suction hoods 8 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear of the cleaning box 4.

[0008] Furthermore, the air knife 5 is rotatably and adjustablely mounted on the cleaning box 4.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the cleaning box 4 is provided with a fixing block 6, and both sides of the air knife 5 are provided with hanging ears, which are locked to the fixing block 6 by locking bolts 7.

[0010] The advantages of this invention are as follows: Dust is blown away from the conveyed aluminum ingots by an air knife, and then sucked away by a dust hood connected to a vacuum cleaner, improving efficiency and preventing dust from flying; the upper and lower sections of the chain plate are horizontally supported by the machine frame, ensuring smooth and reliable chain plate operation and continuous leftward conveying of stacked aluminum ingots through the cleaning box; the frame assembly stably supports the stacked ingots; the dust hood is connected to the vacuum cleaner to promptly remove the blown-down dust, preventing dust from flying and improving the workshop working environment; four symmetrically arranged frame blocks evenly distribute the weight of the aluminum ingots; the concave frame blocks can support the two aluminum ingots at the bottom of the stack, and the rounded corners prevent sharp edges from scratching or bumping the surface of the bottom ingots; the air knife can sweep the surface of the aluminum ingots from multiple angles, ensuring that dust on the top and sides of the ingots is effectively blown off; the angle of the air knife can be adjusted by loosening the locking bolts according to the specifications, shape, and dust adhesion of the aluminum ingots, allowing for flexible adjustment of the air knife angle and sweeping direction to achieve the optimal sweeping angle.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] 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 used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0019] Referring to Figures 1 to 6, this utility model provides a cleaning device for stacked aluminum ingots, which includes a frame 1 and a vacuum cleaner 9. A chain plate 2 driven by a motor (servo motor) is installed on the frame 1. The upper and lower sections of the chain plate 2 are horizontally supported by the frame 1. Frames are equidistantly arranged on the chain plate 2. The chain plate operates smoothly and reliably, continuously conveying stacked aluminum ingots to the left through the cleaning box. Workers use a forklift to directly fork the stacked aluminum ingots onto the frame, which stably supports the stacked ingots. A cleaning box 4 with left and right openings is located at the top of the frame 1. The cleaning box 4 is equipped with an air knife 5 and a dust hood 8 connected to a vacuum cleaner 9. The dust hood is connected to the vacuum cleaner to remove the dust blown down in time, prevent dust from flying, improve the working environment of the workshop, reduce the health risk of workers inhaling dust, and prevent dust from accumulating on the equipment. The side wall of the cleaning box has an oval hole, and the dust hood is set in the oval hole. The dust hood 8 is located to the right of the air knife 5. The air knife blows compressed air towards the conveyed aluminum ingot, thereby blowing off the dust on the aluminum ingot, and then the dust hood connected to the vacuum cleaner sucks away the blown-off dust.

[0020] The frame assembly consists of four symmetrically arranged frame blocks 3. These four symmetrically arranged frame blocks can evenly distribute the weight of the aluminum ingot.

[0021] The support block 3 is concave and has rounded corners at its top edge. The concave support block can support the two aluminum ingots at the bottom of the stacked aluminum ingots, and the rounded corners can prevent sharp edges from scratching and bumping the surface of the bottom aluminum ingots, effectively protecting the surface quality of the bottom aluminum ingots.

[0022] Air knives 5 are distributed on the front, rear, and top walls of the cleaning chamber 4, while dust hoods 8 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear of the cleaning chamber 4. The air knives can blow the surface of the aluminum ingot from multiple angles, ensuring that dust on the top and sides of the aluminum ingot can be effectively blown off. After the compressed air blown by the air knives removes the dust from the surface of the aluminum ingot, the dust hoods can quickly suck up the dust, preventing the dust from re-adhering to the aluminum ingot or spreading into the workshop environment, thus significantly improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0023] Referring to Figures 4 and 6, the air knife 5 is rotatably and adjustablely mounted on the cleaning box 4. A fixing block 6 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning box 4, and hanging ears are provided on both sides of the air knife 5. The hanging ears are locked to the fixing block 6 by locking bolts 7. Depending on the specifications, shape, and dust adhesion of the aluminum ingot, loosening the locking bolts allows for rotational adjustment of the air knife's angle, flexibly adjusting the angle and blowing direction to achieve the optimal blowing angle. Then, tightening the locking bolts secures the air knife.

[0024] 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.
