Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum ingot processing technology, specifically to a feeding device for aluminum ingot production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of aluminum ingots, smelting is a crucial step. Specifically, smelting is the process of putting aluminum raw materials (such as aluminum ore, scrap aluminum, etc.) into a smelting furnace and heating them at high temperatures to melt them into liquid aluminum. After smelting, the liquid aluminum is poured into a mold and then cooled and solidified to form aluminum ingots.

[0003] As disclosed in CN221898241U, a feeding device for aluminum ingot production and processing includes a mounting plate and a transmission mechanism. A transmission box is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate, and the transmission mechanism is set on the transmission box. By controlling the rotation of the turntable, the first rotating rod on the front side of the first rotating rod is driven to rotate, thereby causing the melting furnace to tilt, so as to pour out the aluminum and collect it. The combination of the limiting block and the limiting groove limits the melting furnace to prevent it from tilting excessively and facilitates the operation of the operator.

[0004] When the above-mentioned device is in use, the material tank is located at a high position, which makes it inconvenient for workers to place the raw materials in the material tank. When the material tank is tilted and the raw materials are poured into the melting furnace, the raw materials fall into the melting furnace in free fall, splashing up large metal "splashes". The hot metal liquid splashes everywhere, which is very dangerous and not stable and safe enough. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding device for aluminum ingot production and processing, so as to solve the technical problems of the inconvenience and safety of the feeding device in the prior art.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A feeding device for aluminum ingot production and processing includes a base plate, a furnace disposed on the top of the base plate, and a discharge cylinder with a valve connected to the bottom of the furnace. The device also includes:

[0008] The feeding assembly includes a buffer box and a feeding hopper. The upper and lower ends of the buffer box are respectively connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper and the top of the furnace. A drive rod is rotatably arranged inside the buffer box. A drive motor for driving the drive rod to rotate is also fixedly arranged on the buffer box. Several feeding blocks are arranged on the outside of the drive rod. The side of the feeding block away from the drive rod cooperates with the inside of the buffer box.

[0009] The feeding structure includes a lifting component and a feeding basket. The lifting component is used to drive the feeding basket to feed material into the feeding hopper. The feeding hopper is also provided with an elastic support structure that cooperates with the feeding basket.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lifting assembly includes an electric telescopic rod, a guide box is provided on the side of the furnace, the top of the guide box is inclined toward the direction of the feeding hopper, an electric telescopic rod is provided at the bottom of the inside of the guide box, the driving end of the electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the feeding basket, and the feeding basket is slidably arranged inside the guide box.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the elastic support structure includes a limiting bent rod, a spring and a support plate. There are two limiting bent rods, both of which are inclinedly arranged on the inner wall of the feed hopper. The support plate is slidably connected to the two limiting bent rods. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting bent rod and is fitted between the support plate and the inner wall of the feed hopper.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an anti-detachment block is fixedly provided at the end of the limiting bent rod away from the feed hopper.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a feeding port is provided on the side of the guide box away from the furnace.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the side of the feeding basket is rotatably embedded with several rollers that cooperate with the inner side wall of the guide box.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the drive motor is a speed-regulating motor.

[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a number of omnidirectional wheels are distributed at the bottom of the base plate.

[0017] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a push-pull handle is provided on the side of the guide box away from the furnace.

[0018] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of telescopic bases are distributed at the bottom of the base plate.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] 1. This utility model divides the inner cavity of the buffer box into several parts by setting multiple feeding blocks. When the drive rod drives the feeding blocks to rotate, the raw materials can be continuously divided into multiple parts for feeding. At the same time, the feeding blocks can form a relatively sealed space with the inside of the buffer box to prevent aluminum liquid from splashing outward during the feeding process.

[0021] 2. By setting up an elastic support structure, when the feeding basket is tilted, the side wall of the feeding basket fits against the support plate. As the tilting spring of the feeding basket is continuously compressed, the elastic support of the spring reduces the tilting speed of the feeding basket, reduces the impact force of the material on the feeding hopper, and improves the service life of the feeding hopper.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-4As shown, a feeding device for aluminum ingot production and processing includes a base plate 2, a furnace 1 is mounted on the top of the base plate 2, and a discharge cylinder with a valve is connected to the bottom of the furnace 1. The device also includes a feeding assembly and a feeding structure. The feeding assembly includes a buffer box 5 and a feeding hopper 6. The upper and lower ends of the buffer box 5 are connected to the bottom of the feeding hopper 6 and the top of the furnace 1, respectively. A drive rod 8 is rotatably mounted inside the buffer box 5. A drive motor 10 for driving the drive rod 8 is also fixedly mounted on the buffer box 5. Several feeding blocks 9 are mounted on the outside of the drive rod 8. The side of the feeding block 9 away from the drive rod 8 cooperates with the inside of the buffer box 5. The feeding assembly includes... The system includes a lifting assembly and a feeding basket 12. The lifting assembly is used to drive the feeding basket 12 to feed material into the feeding hopper 6. The feeding hopper 6 is also equipped with an elastic support structure that cooperates with the feeding basket 12. The raw material is poured from the inside of the feeding basket 12 into the feeding hopper 6 through the lifting assembly. The raw material in the feeding hopper 6 enters the buffer box 5. The inner cavity of the buffer box 5 is divided into several parts by setting multiple feeding blocks 9. When the drive rod 8 drives the feeding blocks 9 to rotate, the raw material can be continuously divided into multiple parts for feeding. At the same time, the feeding blocks 9 can form a relatively sealed space with the inside of the buffer box 5 to prevent aluminum liquid from splashing outward during the feeding process.

[0030] In some specific implementations, to facilitate switching between manual and mechanical feeding methods, the lifting assembly includes an electric telescopic rod 13. A guide box 11 is provided on the side of the furnace 1, with the top of the guide box 11 tilted towards the feed hopper 6. An electric telescopic rod 13 is provided at the bottom of the guide box 11. The drive end of the electric telescopic rod 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the feeding basket 12. The feeding basket 12 is slidably disposed inside the guide box 11. When the operator starts the electric telescopic rod 13, the electric telescopic rod 13 will drive the feeding basket 12 to move inside the guide box 11. When the feeding basket 12 rises to the top of the guide box 11, the tilted top of the guide box 11 will push the feeding basket 12, thereby tilting the feeding basket 12 and pouring the raw material inside the feeding basket 12 into the feed hopper 6.

[0031] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 3 As shown, to improve the service life of the feed hopper 6, the elastic support structure includes a limiting bent rod 15 and a support plate 17. There are two limiting bent rods 15, both of which are inclined on the inner wall of the feed hopper 6. The support plate 17 is slidably connected to the two limiting bent rods 15. A spring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting bent rod 15 and is fitted between the support plate 17 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 6. An anti-detachment block 18 is fixedly installed at the end of the limiting bent rod 15 away from the feed hopper 6. The anti-detachment block 18 is used to prevent the support plate 17 from falling off. When the feed basket 12 is tilted, the side wall of the feed basket 12 is in contact with the support plate 17. As the feed basket 12 tilts, the spring 16 is continuously compressed. The elastic support of the spring 16 reduces the tilting speed of the feed basket 12, reduces the impact force of the material on the feed hopper 6, and improves the service life of the feed hopper 6.

[0032] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate feeding material into the feeding basket 12, the guide box 11 has a feeding port 14 on the side away from the furnace 1. The feeding port 14 is located on the other side of the guide box 11. When the manual feeds material into the feeding basket 12 from the feeding port 14, the guide box 11 can block the splashing aluminum liquid.

[0033] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve the service life of the feeding basket 12, several rollers 19 are rotatably embedded on the side of the feeding basket 12 and cooperate with the inner side wall of the guide box 11. When the feeding basket 12 slides inside the guide box 11, the sliding friction of the feeding basket 12 is changed to rolling friction by setting the rollers 19, which reduces the wear on the feeding basket 12 and can reduce the driving force required for the electric telescopic rod 13 to lift it.

[0034] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the control of the feeding speed, the drive motor 10 is a speed-regulating motor. By adjusting the speed of the drive motor 10, the feeding speed of the raw materials in the buffer box 5 can be controlled.

[0035] In some specific implementation plans, such as Figure 1 As shown, to facilitate the movement of the entire device, several casters 4 are distributed at the bottom of the base plate 2, and a push-pull handle 20 is provided on the side of the guide box 11 away from the furnace 1. Several telescopic bases 3 are distributed at the bottom of the base plate 2. When the operator pulls the push-pull handle 20, the casters 4 facilitate the movement of the entire device. The telescopic bases 3 are extended to fix the entire device, making it easy to move the entire device closer to the raw material pile. The push-pull handle 20 is located on the side of the guide box 11 away from the furnace 1, and the height of the guide box 11 is higher than the height of the feed hopper 6, which can shield the splashed aluminum liquid and further improve the safety of use.

[0036] The foregoing has described several embodiments of this utility model in detail, but these embodiments are not limited thereto and should not be considered as limiting the scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the claims of this utility model should still fall within the patent coverage of this utility model.
