Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold technology, and in particular to an ingot mold replacement device. Background Technology

[0002] In the continuous casting process of aluminum-iron alloys, the ingot mold plays a key role. The ingot mold is usually made of materials with good thermal conductivity and high temperature resistance. The ingot mold has a certain shape to facilitate the smooth flow of molten metal and to shape the molten aluminum-iron alloy into the required ingot during the cooling and solidification process.

[0003] In related technologies, the ingot mold is fixed on the track of the continuous casting machine. After the molten aluminum and iron enter the ingot mold, it solidifies and plasticizes as the temperature decreases to form an ingot. During use, the ingot mold needs to be inspected and maintained to ensure normal use and improve the efficiency of ingot casting.

[0004] However, the ingot molds are damaged due to long-term use and need to be replaced. When replacing them, it is necessary to manually remove the old ingot molds with lifting equipment and then lift the new ingot molds to their original positions for replacement. The whole process is time-consuming, involves many steps, and requires high manual labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the problem that replacing ingot molds requires manual labor—using lifting equipment to remove the old mold and then hoisting the new mold in place—which is time-consuming, involves many steps, and is labor-intensive. The invention provides an ingot mold replacement device, and the technical solution is as follows:

[0006] An ingot mold changing device is applied to an aluminum-iron alloy continuous casting machine, the ingot mold changing device comprising:

[0007] The support section has a U-shaped structure;

[0008] The replacement section is located above the support section. The replacement section is composed of multiple square tube columns and is used to support the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold.

[0009] A movable part is installed at the bottom of the support part. Driving the movable part causes the support part to move the replacement part to the required area to replace or install the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a connector, through which the replacement part is welded to the support part;

[0011] The connector has an H-shaped structure.

[0012] Preferably, the columns are spaced apart on the connector so that a cuboid space is formed between the multiple columns.

[0013] Preferably, the moving part comprises a plurality of nylon-coated wheels with braking devices, bearings, and steel shafts that match the bearings.

[0014] Preferably, the support portion is provided with an X-shaped diagonal brace, which is connected to the support portion;

[0015] In the assembled state, the axis of the diagonal brace forms a 45° angle with the extension line of the support portion.

[0016] Preferably, the support portion is made of a cold-bent rectangular tube with a wall thickness of 5mm.

[0017] The technological advancements achieved by this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows:

[0018] This invention combines a replacement unit and a moving unit, allowing operators to easily remove and install the old ingot mold by simply moving the mold to the designated position using the mold replacement device. This enables quick and smooth disassembly, replacement, or repair of aluminum-iron alloy ingot molds, as well as installation, saving time and effort, improving work efficiency, reducing manual labor intensity, and ensuring safety and stability.

[0027] The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses an ingot mold replacement device applied to an aluminum-iron alloy continuous casting machine. The ingot mold replacement device includes a support part 1, a replacement part 2, and a moving part 3. The support part 1 has a U-shaped structure, which helps the support part 1 to smoothly bear and transmit the driving force from the moving part 3, while providing stable support for the replacement part 2. In this application, the replacement part 2 is supported by two support parts 1, with the replacement part 2 located above the support part 1. The replacement part 2 is used to support the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10. The replacement part 2 is composed of multiple square tube columns 21, which can provide support force and enhance the strength and stability of the structure, ensuring that the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is not easily tilted during transportation. During replacement or installation, the operator can smoothly install or remove the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10. The moving part 3 is installed at the bottom of the support part 1. Driving the moving part 3 causes the support part 1 to move the replacement part 2 to the required area, thereby completing the replacement or installation of the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10.

[0029] In this application, an aluminum-iron alloy continuous casting machine is equipped with multiple aluminum-iron alloy ingot molds 10, which are moved along the conveying direction by a conveying mechanism 20 to transport the aluminum-iron alloy ingots in the molds 10 to the next process area. During operation, the aluminum-iron alloy ingot molds 10 may be damaged due to prolonged use. If they are not repaired or replaced in time, it will affect the normal operation. Therefore, the operator needs to replace the aluminum-iron alloy ingot molds 10. During replacement, the operator needs to use two ingot mold replacement devices. Ingot mold replacement device a100 holds the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 (to be replaced), and ingot mold replacement device b200 holds the new aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 (to be replaced). First, ingot mold replacement device a100 is moved to the bottom of the conveying mechanism 20. When the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 rotates to the bottom of the conveying mechanism 20, at this time, the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is perpendicular to the ground. Place the ingot mold changing device a100 directly above the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 that needs to be replaced. The operator only needs to remove the bolts on both sides of the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10, so that the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is detached from the conveying mechanism 20 and falls naturally onto the changing part 2 of the ingot mold changing device a100. That is, the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is located between the multiple columns 21 of the changing part 2, so that the multiple columns 21 can effectively restrict the position of the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10, thereby allowing the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be removed smoothly. Then, move the ingot mold changing device a100 away from the conveying mechanism 20. Next, the operator places the new aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 on the changing part 2 of the ingot mold changing device b200 and pushes the ingot mold changing device b200 with the new aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 directly below the installation position to facilitate installation by the operator and ensure normal operation of the work.

[0030] During the operation of the aluminum-iron alloy continuous casting machine, the device of this application enables the rapid and smooth disassembly, replacement, or repair of aluminum-iron alloy ingot molds, as well as the installation of aluminum-iron alloy ingot molds, saving time and effort, improving work efficiency, reducing manual labor intensity, and thus ensuring safety and stability.

[0031] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, it also includes a connector 4, located between the replacement part 2 and the support part 1. The connector 4 can be an I-shaped structure or an H-shaped structure. In one example, the connector 4 is an H-shaped structure. The H-shaped connector 4 has high rigidity and stability, which can provide uniform support force to the replacement part 2, avoid stress concentration in the replacement part 2, and reduce deformation or damage caused by uneven load. At the same time, the H-shaped connector 4 can effectively disperse the force from different directions of the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold, and can withstand the large load generated when the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold is placed on the replacement part 2, maintaining the stability of installation or disassembly. The replacement part 2 is welded to the support part 1 via the connector 4. The welding process ensures the firmness and sealing of the connection, so that the replacement part 2 can be stably positioned on the support part 1 during the replacement of aluminum-iron alloy ingot molds, avoiding failures or dangers caused by loose connections. The connector 4 ensures a stable connection between the replacement part 2 and the support part 1, provides strong support force, and optimizes the structural stability and load distribution of the entire device. It effectively enhances the impact and vibration resistance of the entire device, improves the long-term stability and reliability of the ingot mold replacement device, and thus ensures that the device can complete the replacement task of aluminum alloy ingot molds efficiently and stably.

[0032] Preferably, the number of columns 21 can be two, six, eight, etc., and can be adapted to meet specific needs. In one example, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the replacement unit 2 consists of four columns 21, which are spaced apart on the connector 4 to form a cuboid space between them, so as to match the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10. During the replacement process, the four columns 21 can effectively and evenly distribute the load, ensuring that each column 21 can bear a reasonable weight. At the same time, the distance between two adjacent columns 21 is smaller than the size of the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10, so that the four columns 21 can effectively clamp the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10, thereby ensuring stability and reliability.

[0033] Preferred, such as Figure 1As shown, the moving part 3 consists of multiple nylon-coated wheels 31 with braking devices, bearings 32, and steel shafts 33 that match the bearings 32. The nylon-coated wheels 31 and bearings 32 are fitted onto the steel shafts 33 and are rotatably connected to the support part 1 via the steel shafts 33, facilitating the operator to move the mold replacement device to the required area, thereby improving the flexibility and convenience of the device. The nylon in the nylon-coated wheels 31 has strong durability and wear resistance, allowing the wheels to maintain good condition during long-term operation. The rubber coating not only reduces the coefficient of friction of the wheels and reduces wear on the ground, but also provides better grip, ensuring that the device can glide smoothly during movement. When replacement or installation is required, the braking device on the nylon-coated wheels 31 can effectively prevent the wheels from rotating, thereby achieving the stability of the device.

[0034] Preferred, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the support part 1 is equipped with an X-shaped diagonal brace 5, which is connected to the support part 1. The connection method can be angle steel or direct welding, etc., and can be adapted as needed, as long as it can be connected. The X-shaped diagonal brace 5, through the cross-arranged diagonal brace rods, distributes the force to different directions, increasing the overall stability of the support part 1. At the same time, the device can maintain long-term stable performance during continuous operation, reducing structural fatigue problems caused by long-term load. In the assembled state, the axis 51 of the diagonal brace 5 forms a 45° angle with the extension line 11 of the support part 1, which helps the diagonal brace 5 to better withstand impact forces or vibrations from different directions. Especially during the replacement of aluminum alloy ingot molds, the device may be subjected to forces from different directions. The diagonal brace 5 not only optimizes the force transmission, but also reduces friction and heat accumulation, ensuring that the device does not experience excessive wear or damage during long-term operation. This makes the entire device structure more robust and stable, effectively bearing the load generated during the replacement of aluminum alloy ingot molds, and achieving long-term stable operation of the device in high-intensity working environments.

[0035] Preferably, the support part 1 is made of a cold-formed rectangular tube with a wall thickness of 5mm. A cold-formed rectangular tube is a type of tube that is bent into shape through a cold working process and is made of steel or alloy materials such as aluminum alloy. Compared with traditional circular tubes or other forms of support structures, the cross-section of the cold-formed rectangular tube has higher bending resistance, enabling the support part 1 to resist bending and torsional forces effectively, thereby avoiding deformation or tilting.

[0036] The working principle of the ingot mold changing device in this application is as follows:

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, firstly, the operator moves the ingot mold changing device a100 to the bottom of the conveying mechanism 20. When the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be replaced rotates to the bottom of the conveying mechanism 20 and is directly above the ingot mold changing device a100, the operator shuts down the aluminum-iron alloy continuous casting machine, causing the conveying mechanism 20 to stop rotating. At this time, the old aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is perpendicular to the ground. Next, the operator removes the bolts on both sides of the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be replaced, so that the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be replaced is detached from the conveying mechanism 20 and falls naturally onto the changing part 2 of the ingot mold changing device a100. This allows the multiple columns 21 of the changing part 2 to effectively engage and support the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be replaced, while also limiting the position of the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be replaced and preventing displacement. Afterward, the operator moves the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be replaced out of the conveying mechanism 20 through the ingot mold changing device a100 to facilitate the subsequent installation of the new aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10.

[0038] Next, the operator places the new aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 on the replacement part 2 of the ingot mold replacement device b200 and pushes the ingot mold replacement device b200, causing the nylon-coated wheel 31 on the moving part 3 to rotate and drive the support part 1, the replacement part 2, and the ingot mold replacement device b200 to the required area. That is, the operator moves the ingot mold replacement device b200 with the new aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 directly below the position where the ingot mold needs to be installed, so that the operator can install it. Using the device of this application saves time and effort, improves work efficiency, reduces manual labor intensity, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the work and realizing the safety and stability of ingot mold replacement.

[0039] It should be noted that when the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is at the top of the conveying mechanism 20, the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is parallel to the ground; when the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is at the bottom of the conveying mechanism 20, the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 is perpendicular to the ground. When replacing the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10, the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be replaced is rotated to the bottom of the conveying mechanism 20 so that the operator can remove and replace it. This allows the aluminum-iron alloy ingot mold 10 to be replaced to fall directly into the replacement part 2 of the ingot mold replacement device. The multiple columns 21 on the replacement part 2 can effectively hold and support it, facilitating subsequent movement and operation.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
