Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum ingot production, specifically to an aluminum ingot turning and propulsion mechanism used in continuous casting of aluminum ingots. Background Technology

[0002] The aluminum ingot flipping and propulsion mechanism in the continuous casting production of aluminum ingots is a key piece of equipment used to adjust the orientation of aluminum ingots. After the primary conveyor transports the aluminum ingot to the designated position, the ingot is often facing backwards. In order to meet the requirement that the ingot face forwards in the subsequent stacking process, the flipping and propulsion mechanism plays a role. It is responsible for flipping the ingot 180 degrees to ensure that the ingot continues to be transported in the correct orientation, which effectively improves the automation level of aluminum ingot production, reduces manual intervention, and improves production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222612232U discloses a novel aluminum ingot turning device, which includes a lifting component, a positioning component, and a shock-absorbing component arranged sequentially along the conveyor conveying direction. The lifting component includes a longitudinal cylinder, and the telescopic end of the longitudinal cylinder is provided with a push rod. In this application, the ingot can be automatically positioned and turned without manual turning, saving manpower and increasing work efficiency. It fundamentally eliminates safety accidents caused by high temperature burns and crushing injuries due to errors, greatly improving safety. Moreover, it has a certain buffering effect on the turned ingot, which can provide shock absorption protection for the conveyor, thereby improving the service life of the conveyor.

[0004] In the aluminum ingot flipping device of the aforementioned patent, the lateral pushing of the push rod is mainly responsible for flipping the aluminum ingot. This will cause collisions between the outer edge of the aluminum ingot and the transmission structure inside the conveyor. Direct pushing will cause damage to the conveyor and the edge of the aluminum ingot, and it is easy to get stuck during the flipping process, which will also cause equipment damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an aluminum ingot turning and pushing mechanism for continuous casting of aluminum ingots. The rotating flip plate on the upper end of the base can support the aluminum ingot block during rotation, which can reduce the damage of the aluminum ingot block to the conveyor. The rotation of the flip plate, combined with the transmission of the aluminum ingot block by the first contact plate and the second contact plate, can realize the efficient turning of the aluminum ingot block and avoid jamming during the turning process, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an aluminum ingot turning and pushing mechanism for continuous casting of aluminum ingots, including a conveyor, a base with movable grooves on both sides arranged laterally in the middle of the conveyor, a turning plate arranged on one side of the outer side of the base, the turning plate and the movable groove being rotatably connected by a second connecting rod, a transmission plate arranged on one side of the conveyor, a first contact plate arranged on the side of the transmission plate facing the conveyor, a second contact plate arranged at the upper end of the first contact plate, five rollers arranged laterally in sequence inside the second contact plate, a torsion spring arranged inside the movable groove, and the two ends of the torsion spring being welded and fixed to the turning plate and the base respectively. After the second contact plate is turned, when the second contact plate is pulled out to the outside of the aluminum ingot block, the rotation of the rollers can avoid large friction between the second contact plate and the aluminum ingot block.

[0007] Preferably, both ends of the roller are rotatably connected to the interior of the second contact piece. The rotatable connection of the second contact piece facilitates the placement of the flipped aluminum ingot on the upper end of the conveyor, thereby improving the stability of the aluminum ingot after flipping.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the base is provided with a first telescopic rod, and one end of the first telescopic rod is provided with a second telescopic rod. The aluminum ingot block can be horizontally raised by the extension of the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod, which makes it easier to move the first contact piece and the second contact piece to the upper and lower ends of the aluminum ingot block, and facilitates the subsequent rotation of the first contact piece and the second contact piece.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the transmission plate is provided with a first transmission ring, and the first transmission ring is welded and fixed to the transmission plate by a first connecting rod. One end of the first transmission ring is provided with a third telescopic rod. Through the meshing connection between the first transmission ring and the second transmission ring, the second transmission ring can continuously drive the first transmission ring after the third telescopic rod is extended.

[0010] Preferably, the third telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the first transmission ring, and the rotational position of the third telescopic rod and the first transmission ring overlaps with the first connecting rod. When the transmission plate rotates, the center position of the second connecting rod overlaps with that of the first connecting rod. After the flipping plate moves longitudinally and horizontally, the rotational connection position between the flipping plate and the base overlaps with the first connecting rod, which facilitates the flipping of the aluminum ingot block.

[0011] Preferably, a second transmission ring is provided at the upper end of the outer side of the first transmission ring. The outer walls of both the second and first transmission rings are provided with meshing tooth grooves. A motor is provided at one end of the second transmission ring. The meshing connection with the motor and its drive enable the motor to drive the first transmission ring to rotate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention allows the first and second telescopic rods to extend and lift the aluminum ingot block. Lifting the ingot block facilitates the movement of the first and second contact plates to its upper and lower ends, enabling them to drive the ingot block to rotate stably. Correspondingly, as the ingot block rotates, its lower end contacts and is supported by the base. The flipping plate rotates outside the base while the ingot block rotates, providing a stable rotation position. This reduces contact and collision between the ingot block and the conveyor, preventing damage to the conveyor during flipping. Furthermore, after the ingot block is fully flipped, it loses the restraint of the flipping plate and falls directly onto the upper part of the conveyor. Finally, it only requires lateral sliding and removal of the second and first contact plates. The entire flipping process is simple in structure and highly efficient, improving the continuous production efficiency of aluminum ingot blocks. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the aluminum ingot turning and pushing mechanism for continuous casting of aluminum ingots in this embodiment includes a conveyor 1, a base 5 is laterally arranged in the middle of the conveyor 1, and a turning plate 6 is arranged on one side of the outer side of the base 5, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, both sides of the base 5 are recessed with movable grooves 19, and the position of the flipping piece 6 and the movable groove 19 of the base 5 are rotatably connected by the second connecting rod 17. The side of the base 5 facing the aluminum ingot block 20 can contact the lower edge of the aluminum ingot block 20 through the flipping piece 6. The rotation of the flipping piece 6 outside the base 5 can assist the flipping of the aluminum ingot block 20.

[0026] Referring to the Chinese patent for roller conveyor with publication number CN220264236U, which describes the conveyor 1 in detail, this application does not elaborate on the internal transmission structure of the conveyor 1.

[0027] To facilitate the flipping of the aluminum ingot block 20, a first telescopic rod 2 is provided at the lower end of the base 5, a second telescopic rod 3 is provided at one end of the first telescopic rod 2, and a fixing block 4 is provided at the upper end of the second telescopic rod 3. The lower end of the fixing block 4 is welded and fixed to the upper end of the second telescopic rod 3. When the aluminum ingot block 20 is lifted, one end of the aluminum ingot block 20 is embedded inside the flipping piece 6, while the other end of the aluminum ingot block 20 is contacted and lifted by the fixing block 4.

[0028] Furthermore, a transmission plate 8 is provided on one side of the conveyor 1, and a first contact plate 9 is provided on the side of the transmission plate 8 facing the conveyor 1. A second contact plate 10 is provided at the upper end of the first contact plate 9, and both the second contact plate 10 and the first contact plate 9 are welded and fixed to the transmission plate 8. After the first telescopic rod 2 and the second telescopic rod 3 are lifted, the first contact plate 9 and the second contact plate 10 can be easily inserted and moved to the upper and lower ends of the aluminum ingot block 20, respectively.

[0029] In addition, a first transmission ring 13 is provided at one end of the transmission plate 8. The first transmission ring 13 is welded and fixed to the transmission plate 8 by a first connecting rod 12. A third telescopic rod 16 is provided at one end of the first transmission ring 13. The first contact plate 9 and the second contact plate 10 can be moved by the extension of the third telescopic rod 16.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the telescopic position of the third telescopic rod 16 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first transmission ring 13. The rotational position of the third telescopic rod 16 and the first transmission ring 13 overlaps with the first connecting rod 12. When the transmission plate 8 rotates, the center position of the second connecting rod 17 overlaps with the center position of the first connecting rod 12. The overlapping of the center positions of the first telescopic rod 2 and the second telescopic rod 3 in the extension combination can stably make the aluminum ingot block 20 flip.

[0031] To facilitate the rotation of the first transmission ring 13, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a second transmission ring 14 is provided at the upper end of the outer side of the first transmission ring 13. The outer walls of the second transmission ring 14 and the first transmission ring 13 are provided with meshing tooth grooves. A motor 15 is provided at one end of the second transmission ring 14, and the output shaft of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the second transmission ring 14 by bolts. The output of the motor 15 can drive the second transmission ring 14 to rotate. The rotation of the second transmission ring 14 can drive the first transmission ring 13 to rotate through the meshing connection.

[0032] Furthermore, both the first transmission ring 13 and the second transmission ring 14 are columnar. The columnar shape of the first transmission ring 13 and the second transmission ring 14 facilitates stable rotation by the second transmission ring 14 after the first transmission ring 13 moves laterally.

[0033] In order to reset the flipping piece 6 after the aluminum ingot 20 flips and falls, a torsion spring 18 is provided inside the movable groove 19. The torsion spring 18 surrounds the outside of the second connecting rod 17, and the two ends of the torsion spring 18 are welded and fixed to the flipping piece 6 and the base 5 respectively. After the flipping piece 6 rotates, the elasticity of the torsion spring 18 can actively reset the flipping piece 6.

[0034] In order to reduce friction between the second contact piece 10 and the aluminum ingot block 20 after the second contact piece 10 flips and retracts, and to prevent the aluminum ingot block 20 from shifting due to friction between the second contact piece 10 and the aluminum ingot block 20, five rollers 11 are arranged horizontally inside the second contact piece 10. The front and rear ends of the rollers 11 are rotatably connected to the inside of the second contact piece 10. After the first contact piece 9 and the second contact piece 10 flip, the aluminum ingot block 20 can contact and fall outside the rollers 11. When the second contact piece 10 is pulled out from the lower end of the aluminum ingot block 20, the rotation of the rollers 11 can reduce the friction between the aluminum ingot block 20 and the second contact piece 10.

[0035] Furthermore, one end of the motor 15 is connected to one end of the third telescopic rod 16 via a mounting frame 7, and the lower end of the mounting frame 7 is an integral structure with the lower end of the conveyor 1.

[0036] Working principle: When the device is used to flip the aluminum ingot block 20 conveyed on the conveyor 1, the conveyor 1 first transports the aluminum ingot block 20, allowing it to fit against the flipping plate 6. The first telescopic rod 2 and the second telescopic rod 3 extend simultaneously, suspending the entire aluminum ingot block 20 in the air until the center of the second connecting rod 17 overlaps with the center of the first connecting rod 12. The third telescopic rod 16 then extends, pushing the first contact plate 9 and the second contact plate 10 towards the aluminum ingot block 20 via the transmission plate 8. This causes the first contact plate 9 and the second contact plate 10 to move to the upper and lower ends of the aluminum ingot block 20, respectively. The toothed grooves on the outer wall of the second transmission ring 14 mesh with the toothed grooves on the outer wall of the first transmission ring 13. The motor 15 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 15 drives the first transmission ring 13 to rotate via the second transmission ring 14. The rotation of the first transmission ring 13 can be connected by the first connecting rod 12 to drive the first contact piece 9 and the second contact piece 10 to rotate. The position of the flipping piece 6 in contact with the aluminum ingot block 20 is within the base 5 and rotates around the second connecting rod 17. After rotating 180 degrees, the flipping piece 6 moves to the upper end of the aluminum ingot block 20. The lower end of the aluminum ingot block 20 loses the restriction of the flipping piece 6, causing the aluminum ingot block 20 to fall directly onto the upper end of the conveyor 1. After the third telescopic rod 16 retracts and pulls back the first contact piece 9 and the second contact piece 10, the rotation of the roller 11 can reduce the friction between it and the aluminum ingot block 20, making it easier for the aluminum ingot block 20 to flip and fall directly and stably onto the upper end of the conveyor 1. The elasticity of the torsion spring 18 will actively cause the flipping piece 6 to reset. The first telescopic rod 2 and the second telescopic rod 3 retract and reset, waiting for the next flip.
