Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum ingot production technology, and in particular to a continuous aluminum ingot casting device. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum is a silvery-white metal, the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen and silicon, and is also known as a light metal. Due to its light weight, aluminum is frequently used in the manufacture of automobiles, trains, subways, ships, airplanes, rockets, and spacecraft to reduce weight and increase payload. After entering industrial applications, aluminum ingots fall into two main categories: cast aluminum alloys and wrought aluminum alloys. Wrought aluminum and aluminum alloys are processed aluminum products, such as plates and strips, produced using pressure processing methods. Casting involves pouring molten metal into a casting cavity that conforms to the shape of the part, allowing it to cool and solidify to obtain the part or blank. The forming and casting methods for aluminum ingots mostly involve adding molten aluminum material to a mold and allowing it to cool and solidify. However, in existing aluminum ingot casting processes, the casting station is often single and lacks continuity, thus affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous aluminum ingot casting device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A continuous aluminum ingot casting apparatus includes a conveyor belt for transporting a mold cavity, an injection pipe on the upper side of the conveyor belt, support mechanisms for limiting the mold cavity at intervals on the conveyor belt, and a casting mechanism on the injection pipe for casting when the mold cavity moves to the lower side of the injection pipe. The support mechanisms include support plates arranged opposite each other, with the upper surface of the support plates being stepped parallel to the direction of movement, and the middle part protruding from the two sides. An inclined surface is provided between the middle part and the two sides. Limiting plates are provided at both ends of the support plates. The casting mechanism includes a guide plate fixed to the injection pipe, a truncated cone provided at the lower position inside the injection pipe, a blocking block provided on the upper side of the truncated cone, the guide plates arranged opposite each other, a vertical rod passing through the guide plates, a support wheel fixed at the lower end of the vertical rod, a push rod fixed between the vertical rods, the upper end of the push rod being fixedly connected to the blocking block, and a spring sleeved on the outer diameter of the vertical rod below the guide plate. The support wheel corresponds to the upper and lower parts of the support plate.

[0006] Further feature: A groove is provided on the lower end face of the injection tube for the push rod to pass through.

[0007] Further design: The upper end face of the blocking block is inverted cone shape, and the blocking block slides in fit with the truncated cone.

[0008] Further configuration: The vertical rod is slidably connected to the guide plate.

[0009] Further configuration: The support wheel rolls on the upper surface of the support plate, and when the support wheel moves from the lower step to the inclined surface, it pushes the blocking block upward.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] The support mechanism, which is spaced along the conveyor belt to limit the casting mold cavity, and the casting mechanism, which controls the feeding of the casting material as the support mechanism moves, allow the support plate to pass under the support wheel. After the support wheel pushes against the inclined surface, the support wheel pushes the vertical rod and the push rod upward, separating the blocking block from the truncated cone. This allows the casting material in the injection pipe to fall into the casting mold cavity. When the uppermost surface of the support plate contacts the support wheel, the discharge port of the injection pipe opens to its maximum state. Afterward, the support wheel continues to contact the inclined surface on the other side, and the spring pushes the vertical rod downward to gradually reset until the blocking block blocks the truncated cone, stopping the feeding. This allows for continuous automatic casting of aluminum ingots, improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0022] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a continuous casting device for aluminum ingots includes a conveyor belt 1 for transferring the mold cavity, an injection pipe 3 on the upper side of the conveyor belt 1, a support mechanism for limiting the mold cavity on the conveyor belt 1 at intervals, and a casting mechanism on the injection pipe 3 for casting when the mold cavity moves to the lower side of the injection pipe 3.

[0023] In this embodiment, the support mechanism includes support plates 21 arranged opposite to each other. The upper surface of the support plate 21 is set in a stepped shape parallel to the direction of movement, and the middle part protrudes from the two sides. An inclined surface 23 is provided between the middle part and the two sides. Limiting plates 22 are provided at both ends of the support plate 21 to limit the casting mold cavity placed between the support plates 21, so that the whole moves with the conveyor belt 1.

[0024] In this embodiment: the casting mechanism includes a guide plate 31 fixed on the injection pipe 3, a truncated cone 32 is provided at the lower position inside the injection pipe 3, a blocking block 41 is provided on the upper side of the truncated cone 32, the guide plate 31 is arranged in opposite directions, a vertical rod 43 is provided through the guide plate 31, a support wheel 45 is fixed at the lower end of the vertical rod 43, a push rod 42 is fixed between the vertical rods 43, the upper end of the push rod 42 is fixedly connected to the blocking block 41, a spring 44 is sleeved on the outer diameter of the vertical rod 43 below the guide plate 31, the support wheel 45 corresponds vertically to the support plate 21, a groove 33 through which the push rod 42 passes is opened on the lower end face of the injection pipe 3; the upper end face of the blocking block 41 is inverted cone shape, and the blocking block 41 slides with the truncated cone 32. The vertical rod 43 is slidably connected to the guide plate 31; the support wheel 45 rolls on the upper surface of the support plate 21. When the support wheel 45 moves from the lower step to the inclined plane 23, it pushes the blocking block 41 upward, causing the blocking block 41 to separate from the truncated cone 32. The casting material in the injection pipe 3 falls down until the highest end surface of the support plate 21 contacts the support wheel 45. At this point, the drop port of the injection pipe 3 is opened to its maximum state. After that, the support wheel 45 continues to contact the inclined plane 23 on the other side. The spring 44 pushes the vertical rod 43 downward to gradually reset until the blocking block 41 blocks the truncated cone 32.

[0025] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: As the mold cavity is placed between the support plates 21 and moves towards the lower side of the injection pipe 3 along with the conveyor belt 1, when the support plate 21 passes under the support wheel 45, the support wheel 45 gradually moves towards the upper side of the inclined surface 23. This causes the support plate 21 to move upward under the limit of the guide plate 31 by pushing the vertical rod 43 and the push rod 42 through the support wheel 45. This pushes the blocking block 41 upward and separates it from the cone 32, allowing the casting material in the injection pipe 3 to fall into the mold cavity. When the highest end face of the support plate 21 contacts the support wheel 45, the discharge port of the injection pipe 3 is opened to the maximum state. After that, the support wheel 45 continues to contact the inclined surface 23 on the other side, and the spring 44 pushes the vertical rod 43 downward and gradually resets it until the blocking block 41 blocks the cone 32, stopping the material discharge.

[0026] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
