[0029] See Figure 1-6 The slag cleaning device for flat ingot casting shown includes a roller conveyor 2 and a cleaning unit and a rinsing unit disposed at both ends of the roller conveyor 2; the cleaning unit includes a gantry frame 3 and a movable frame 5 installed in the gantry frame 3, and a rotatable brush cylinder 7 is provided on the bottom side of the movable frame 5; the rinsing unit includes support blocks 15 symmetrically fixed to the crossbars 1 on both sides of the roller conveyor 2, and a rinsing water pipe 19 is detachably installed on the upper end of the support block 15.

[0030] By implementing the above technical solution, the flat ingots to be cleaned are placed on the roller conveyor 2. The roller conveyor 2 transports the flat ingots from the cleaning unit to the rinsing unit. First, they enter the cleaning unit, where the surface of the flat ingots is cleaned by a high-speed rotating brush cylinder 7. Then, the surface of the cleaned flat ingots is rinsed through the rinsing water pipe 19. By transporting the flat ingots through the roller conveyor 2, scum is removed during the transport process, achieving continuous operation and improving efficiency.

[0031] Multiple sets of rinsing water pipes 19 can be arranged to achieve multiple rinsing operations. The rinsing water pipe 19 at the forefront can also rinse the area cleaned by the brush cylinder 7, achieving a wet brushing effect. This slag cleaning device for flat ingot casting can effectively remove most of the oxide layer and loose impurities from the surface of the flat ingot.

[0032] In this embodiment, vertical plates 6 are provided at both ends of the movable frame 5, and a central shaft 24 capable of driving rotation is provided between the two vertical plates 6. Multiple brush cylinders 7 are spaced apart on the central shaft 24. Multiple roller grooves 20 corresponding to each brush cylinder 7 are provided on the roller shaft 18 of the roller conveyor 2. First pulleys 23 are sleeved on the central shaft 24 between adjacent brush cylinders 7. A dual-axis motor 9 is mounted on the movable frame 5. Second pulleys 10 are sleeved on the shafts at both ends of the dual-axis motor 9. A belt 11 is sleeved between the first pulleys 23. During operation, the dual-axis motor 9 drives the second pulleys 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the first pulleys 23 to rotate via the belt 11, thereby rotating the central shaft 24 and further causing the brush cylinders 7 to rotate.

[0033] By setting multiple roller grooves 20, each roller groove 20 can transport one flat ingot, and adjacent flat ingots do not affect each other and will not collide.

[0034] In this embodiment, the dual-axis motor 9 is mounted above the movable frame 5, which has a passage hole 27 for the belt 11 to pass through. One side of the passage hole 27 can be opened and closed by a removable seal to ensure the belt 11 can operate safely and normally.

[0035] In this embodiment, guide holes 4 are provided on both sides of the portal frame 3, and a slider 8 that can slide within the guide holes 4 is provided on the outer side of the vertical plate 6. This arrangement allows the vertical plate 6 to move smoothly in the vertical direction, improving stability.

The side wall of the flushing water pipe 19 is provided with a positioning groove 26 that engages with the positioning protrusion 25. A cover plate 16 is provided on the support block 15, and the bottom surface of the cover plate 16 is provided with an upper semicircular groove corresponding to the lower semicircular groove. Both ends of the cover plate 16 are detachably mounted to the support block 15 using screws 17. Multiple positioning grooves 26 are provided around the circumference of the flushing water pipe 19. Each pair of symmetrical support blocks 15 forms a group, and multiple groups of support blocks 15 can be set, thereby allowing for multiple flushing water pipes 19. The flushing direction of the flushing water pipes 19 can be adjusted by the cooperation of the positioning protrusions 25 and the positioning grooves 26. For example, by rotating the flushing water pipe 19 and inserting different positioning grooves 26 into the positioning protrusions 25, the flushing direction can be adjusted. Then, the cover plate 16 is fixed to the support block 15 with screws 17, and the flushing water pipe 19 is fixed by the cooperation of the lower semicircular groove and the upper semicircular groove.
