Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of molten material technology for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloys, and in particular to a molten material conveying device for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloys. Background Technology

[0002] The molten material conveying device for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloys is mainly used to transport molten aluminum alloys from the melting furnace to the die casting machine to meet the strict requirements of molten material flowability and temperature in the semi-solid die casting process. Currently, metals are directly melted and refined in an open melting crucible, and then the molten metal in the crucible is conveyed to the die casting machine by hand or robotic arm scooping. Not only does the metal oxidize due to direct contact with air during refining, but further contact with air during conveying prevents the molten metal from achieving a semi-solid state, thus significantly reducing the quality of the die-cast products.

[0003] According to prior art, a search revealed a Chinese patent that discloses a "metal melting and conveying device" with application number "CN201420658950.9". This patent mainly reduces the probability of contact between molten metal and air, preventing further oxidation of the molten metal.

[0004] However, the existing technologies mentioned above still have shortcomings. When conveying molten metal, it is impossible to guarantee that the molten metal is within the ideal temperature range, which may lead to premature solidification or uneven temperature. Furthermore, the conveying efficiency of the screw conveyor is low, and the flow rate of the molten metal cannot be precisely controlled. Utility Model Content

[0012] According to the aforementioned molten material conveying device for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloy, the conveying pipe consists of three structures: an outer pipe, a heating pipe, and an inner pipe.

[0013] According to the aforementioned molten material conveying device for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloy, the heating tube is spiral-shaped and wound around the surface of the inner pipe, which can heat the molten metal inside the pipe to maintain a stable temperature and ensure that the molten metal does not solidify during the conveying process. The inner pipe is a ceramic pipe, which has strong wear resistance and high temperature resistance, and a low coefficient of friction, which can reduce the residue of molten metal during the conveying process.

[0014] According to the aforementioned molten material conveying device for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloy, valves are provided inside the discharge port and the outlet port.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

Compared with the prior art, the molten metal conveying device for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloy is provided with a feed body, a motor, gears, a drive shaft, a first driven shaft, a second driven shaft, a pump body, a pull rod, and a discharge body. The molten metal enters the screw pump through the feed body. The motor is started, which makes the drive shaft start to rotate. At the same time, because the gears mesh with each other, the first driven shaft and the second driven shaft are driven to rotate together, so that the molten metal is conveyed out from the discharge body by the spiral blades provided on the surfaces of the drive shaft and the driven shaft.

[0017] 2. Compared with the prior art, the molten material conveying device for semi-solid die casting of aluminum alloy is equipped with an outer pipe, a heating pipe and an inner pipe. The heating pipe heats the molten metal in the inner pipe to keep the temperature of the molten metal stable.
