There are also various powder making equipment and the powder making efficiency is getting higher and higher.

[0003] Currently, there are two main methods for producing fine aluminum powder: ball milling and atomization. Atomization involves melting aluminum ingots at high temperatures and then atomizing them into powder under inert gas protection. After cooling, the powder is graded, packaged, and stored. Currently, aluminum powder manufacturers typically purchase aluminum ingots externally. After transportation and storage, the surface of these ingots accumulates a large amount of dust, oil, and other impurities. Therefore, the ingots need to be cleaned before melting. Currently, cleaning is usually done manually, which requires brushing or wiping each ingot individually, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and poor cleaning effect.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See Figures 1-4 This embodiment discloses an aluminum ingot high-pressure cleaning system, including a housing 101 and a roller 102 rotatably disposed inside the housing 101. The roller 102 is connected to a drive unit 103, which is used to drive the roller 102 to rotate. The housing 101 is provided with a feed cylinder 104 and a discharge cylinder 105.

[0035] The roller 102 is open at both ends, the discharge end of the feed cylinder 104 extends into the roller 102, the discharge cylinder 105 is set at the discharge end of the roller 102, and the outer shell 101 is also provided with a guide plate 106, which extends into the roller 102.

[0036] The inner wall of the drum 102 is provided with a spiral pusher plate 107, and the inner wall of the drum 102 is also provided with a pusher plate 108 that penetrates the pusher plate 107; the side of the drum 102 is a mesh structure; the drum 102 is inclined so that the feed end of the drum 102 is located in the cleaning liquid; a high-pressure rinsing device is also provided inside the outer shell 101.

[0037] In practical use, this invention uses a drive unit 103 to rotate a mesh drum 102. Combined with an inclined structure, the aluminum ingot is automatically propelled forward under gravity. The spiral pusher plate 107 and the through-type pusher plate 108 work together to achieve continuous tumbling and displacement of the aluminum ingot, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and reducing manual intervention. The feed end of the drum 102 is immersed in the cleaning solution, where the aluminum ingot is first softened by liquid soaking, and then subjected to the powerful water flow of a high-pressure flushing device, achieving a synergistic physical and chemical cleansing effect. The aluminum ingot continuously tumbles under the friction between the inner wall of the drum 102 and the spiral pusher plate 107. Combined with the three-dimensional flushing path formed by the mesh structure, this ensures thorough removal of surface and groove impurities. The mesh drum 102 structure allows for real-time separation of the cleaning solution and stripped impurities, preventing secondary pollution. The inclined angle design accelerates wastewater discharge, ensuring a clean cleaning environment. More importantly, the discharge end of the drum 102 is located outside the cleaning solution, allowing for a second flush of the aluminum ingot under the action of the high-pressure flushing device, further improving the flushing quality.

[0038] Furthermore, the roller 102 includes a frame and a metal mesh disposed on the outside of the frame, and the pusher plate 107 and pusher plate 108 are both fixedly disposed on the frame. Using a metal mesh as the outer structure of the roller 102 can reduce the obstruction of the high-pressure rinsing fluid, allowing the high-pressure rinsing fluid to act directly on the aluminum ingot, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0039] In this embodiment, the pusher plate 107 is used to push the aluminum ingot to move. At the same time, under the action of the pusher plate 108, the aluminum ingot can fall from the high point after rotating with the roller 102. The residue is cleaned by impact and vibration, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the aluminum ingot.

[0040] Furthermore, the high-pressure rinsing device includes a main pipe, several branch pipes 109, and a high-pressure water pump. The branch pipes 109 have a U-shaped structure and are equidistantly arranged on the main pipe. Several high-pressure water nozzles 110 are installed on the branch pipes 109, with the water spray direction of the high-pressure water nozzles 110 facing the drum 102. The main pipe is connected to the cleaning water source through the high-pressure water pump. The multiple U-shaped branch pipes 109 and the high-pressure water nozzles 110 can increase the cleaning area and achieve all-round coverage of the drum 102, thereby further improving the rinsing effect on the aluminum ingots.

[0041] Furthermore, the outer casing 101 is provided with a drain outlet, and a drain pipe 111 is provided at the drain outlet, with a drain valve 112 provided on the drain pipe 111. In actual use, this facilitates the discharge of cleaning fluid; the drain valve 112 is a solenoid valve, which opens to drain the fluid when there is too much cleaning fluid inside the outer casing 101.

[0042] The lower end of the outer casing 101 is provided with a support frame 117.

[0043] Furthermore, the guide plate 106 is an arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped plate has several drainage holes, which allows the aluminum ingots to fall directly onto the guide plate 106 after rotating with the roller 102. The drainage holes allow most of the cleaning liquid to flow into the outer casing 101.

[0044] Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, a drying component is provided below the discharge cylinder 105.

[0045] The drying assembly includes a drying box 113, a conveying unit 114 disposed inside the drying box 113, and a hot air unit disposed inside the drying box 113. The drying box 113 is provided with a feed inlet, and the discharge cylinder 105 is connected to the feed inlet. The conveying unit 114 is located below the feed inlet, and the hot air unit is used to provide hot air into the drying box 113.

[0046] The aluminum ingots are conveyed by the conveying unit 114, and the aluminum ingots are dried by hot air under the action of the hot air unit.

[0047] Furthermore, in actual use, the conveying unit 114 is a belt conveyor unit 114, and the belt in the belt conveyor unit 114 is a mesh bag type conveyor belt. The mesh bag type conveyor belt can achieve drying of the bottom of the aluminum ingot.

[0048] In practical use, in order to prevent the falling aluminum ingots from directly impacting the belt conveyor unit 114, several first guide plates 115 are provided inside the discharge cylinder 105, which are arranged in a staggered manner. Under the action of the first guide plates 115, the falling speed of the aluminum ingots can be slowed down, thus preventing the aluminum ingots from directly impacting the conveyor unit 114.

[0049] Furthermore, in actual use, the first guide plate 115 is provided with several small holes, and hot air enters from the lower end of the discharge cylinder 105 to achieve preliminary drying of the aluminum ingot.

[0050] As an alternative, since the aluminum ingot falls slowly under the influence of gravity after it comes into direct contact with the guide plate 106 and the first guide plate 115, in actual use, a rotating roller 116 is rotatably installed on the guide plate 106 and the first guide plate 115 to ensure the normal movement of the aluminum ingot.

[0051] Furthermore, in practical applications, small aluminum ingots are used. If the aluminum ingot is large, it can be considered to crush it first.

[0052] Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described, those skilled in the art, upon learning the basic inventive concept, can make other changes and modifications to these embodiments. Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
