Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tin-phosphorus bronze casting technology, specifically a simple device for horizontal continuous casting of copper water diversion. Background Technology

[0002] In copper casting, tin-phosphorus bronze has a wide crystallization temperature range, a small linear shrinkage rate, and a severe tendency for tin anti-segregation. It has poor fluidity and is difficult to cast. In existing tin-phosphorus bronze casting, the solidification lines on the large surface of the billet are often uneven, and the crystallization lines are mostly parabolic in shape. This means that there is an uneven crystallization structure inside the billet, which can easily lead to difficulties in subsequent cold working and cause periodic cracks in the processed products. Therefore, a simple horizontal continuous casting copper water diversion device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a simple device for diverting copper liquid in horizontal continuous casting, which diverts the copper liquid to ensure that the copper liquid enters the graphite crystallizer evenly, improves the solidification line of the large surface of the billet, and improves the quality of the billet.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a simple device for horizontal continuous casting of copper water, comprising a support frame, on which a graphite crystallizer is placed, the graphite crystallizer having an inlet, a graphite block being inserted into the inlet, a fixed plate being fixedly connected below the inlet, a spring rod being provided at each end of the fixed plate, a movable plate being provided on the two spring rods, a nut being connected to the two spring rods above the movable plate, and a pushing component being provided on the movable plate, the pushing component comprising a spring rod and a pressure plate.

[0005] In some embodiments, the surface of the pressure plate is marked with graduations.

[0006] In some embodiments, a sponge is attached to the side of the pressure plate near the movable plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, three spring bars are provided.

[0008] In some embodiments, a pushing member is provided on the fixed plate at a position corresponding to the position of the movable plate.

[0009] In some embodiments, four graphite blocks are provided, and the four graphite blocks are spaced equidistant from each other.

[0010] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This invention places a graphite block at the inlet of a graphite crystallizer. The graphite block effectively diverts the copper liquid as it enters the cavity of the graphite crystallizer, ensuring that it enters the interior of the crystallizer evenly. This improves the solidification line of the large surface of the cast billet and enhances the quality of the cast billet. At the same time, the graphite block is firmly fixed at the inlet by a pusher to prevent it from shifting, thus ensuring the diversion effect. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0019] See Figures 1-2 A simple horizontal continuous casting copper water diversion device includes a support frame 1, on which a graphite crystallizer 2 is placed. The graphite crystallizer 2 has an inlet 21, and graphite blocks 8 are inserted into the inlet 21. A fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected below the inlet 21. A spring screw 4 is set at each end of the fixing plate 3. A movable plate 5 is set on the two spring screws 4. Nuts 6 are connected to the two spring screws 4 above the movable plate 5. A pushing component 7 is set on the movable plate 5. The pushing component 7 includes a spring rod 71 and a pressure plate 72. Four graphite blocks 8 are provided, and the distance between the four graphite blocks 8 is the same. In use, the operator pre-places the four graphite blocks 8 at the inlet 21. The placement of the four graphite blocks 8 is determined by the attachment. Figure 1 The first graphite block 8 is placed 75mm from the left side of the inlet 21, followed by another 100mm away, then another 100mm away, and finally a fourth 100mm away. The inlet 21 is 450mm wide. Tightening the nuts 6 above the two spring screws 4 pushes the moving plate 5 downwards, simultaneously pulling the pressure plate 72 away from the graphite crystallizer 2 until the moving plate 5 contacts the graphite block 8. Then, the pressure plate 72 is no longer pulled; it moves towards the graphite block 8 under the force of the spring rod 71, firmly pressing the graphite block 8 into the inlet 21, thus fixing it and preventing displacement. After fixing the graphite block 8 at the inlet 21, the copper liquid entering the graphite crystallizer 2 is effectively diverted and evenly distributed, improving the solidification line on the large surface of the cast billet and enhancing its quality. (See attached diagram.) Figure 3 As shown, the left side shows the graphite block 8 before insertion, and the right side shows the graphite block 8 after insertion. The solidification line changes from uneven to straight. The above-mentioned operation of the copper liquid entering the graphite crystallizer 2 are all steps in the existing copper casting process, and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] In some embodiments, the surface of the pressure plate 72 is marked with graduations. The graduations on the surface of the pressure plate 72 help the operator quickly move the graphite block 8 to the designated position without the operator needing to use a measuring ruler, reducing operation steps and increasing operation efficiency.

[0021] In some embodiments, a sponge is attached to the side of the pressure plate 72 closest to the movable plate 5. The sponge prevents the pressure plate 72 from damaging the graphite block 8 when it is pushed, reducing material waste and saving costs.

[0022] In some embodiments, three spring rods 71 ​​are provided. The three spring rods 71 ​​enable the pressure plate 72 to move stably when compressed, preventing the pressure plate 72 from breaking due to unbalanced force.

[0023] In some embodiments, a pushing member 7 is provided on the fixed plate 3 at a position corresponding to that of the movable plate 5. The pushing member 7 on the fixed plate 3 and the movable plate 5 not only ensures stable pushing of the graphite block 8, but also improves the reliability of preventing the graphite block 8 from falling.

[0024] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
