[0027] Example
[0028] Please see Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment discloses a cleaning device for aluminum ingot casting, including a first housing 1. A first inlet 14, a first outlet 15, a second inlet 16, a second outlet 17, a third inlet 18, and a third outlet are respectively provided on the side wall of the first housing 1. The first inlet 14 and the first outlet 15 are located at the upper part of the first housing 1 and are on opposite sides; the second inlet 16 and the second outlet 17 are located in the middle of the first housing 1 and are on opposite sides; and the third inlet 18 and the third outlet are located at the bottom of the first housing 1 and are on opposite sides. Three cleaning-drying components are arranged inside the first housing 1, which are separately arranged. The first cleaning-drying component is located at the top of the first housing 1 and communicates with the first inlet 14 and the first outlet 15; the second cleaning-drying component is located in the middle of the first housing 1 and communicates with the second inlet 16 and the second outlet 17; and the third cleaning-drying component is located at the bottom of the first housing 1 and communicates with the third inlet 18 and the third outlet. A second and a third solenoid valve 3 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the first housing 1. The second and third housings are on opposite sides. The second housing is equipped with an acid washing assembly for acid washing of materials. The third housing is equipped with an alkaline washing assembly for alkaline washing of acid-washed materials. The second housing is connected to the first outlet 15 and the second inlet 16. The third housing is connected to the second outlet 17 and the third inlet 18.
[0029] The aforementioned cleaning-drying assembly includes a first partition 12, a second partition 13, and a conveying mechanism 120 second housing. The first partition 12 is disposed on the opposite inner wall surface of the first housing 1. In the cleaning-drying assembly located at the top of the first housing 1, a first chamber is formed between the first partition 12 and the inner top of the first housing 1. It is worth noting that in the cleaning-drying assemblies located in the middle and bottom of the first housing 1, first chambers are formed between adjacent first partitions 12 and between the first partition 12 and the bottom of the first housing 1, respectively. The three first chambers are not connected to each other. A second partition 13 is provided inside each first chamber, dividing each first chamber into two second chambers. A transition opening is provided inside each second partition 13, connecting two adjacent second chambers. Each of the two second chambers is provided with a cleaning unit 10 and a drying unit 11. Specifically, there are three cleaning-drying components in the first housing 1, which is equivalent to three cleaning units 10 and three drying units 11. If viewed from top to bottom inside the first housing 1, on the same vertical line, there is a drying unit 11 between two cleaning units 10, or a cleaning unit 10 between two drying units 11. It is worth noting that all cleaning units 10 are connected to the inlet. Specifically, the cleaning unit 10 located at the top of the first housing 1 is connected to the first inlet 14, the cleaning unit 10 located in the middle of the first housing 1 is connected to the second inlet 16, and the cleaning unit 10 located at the bottom of the first housing 1 is connected to the third inlet 18. Similarly, the drying unit 11 is connected to the corresponding outlet. That is, when the material enters the cleaning-drying assembly, it is first cleaned and then dried.
[0030] The aforementioned cleaning unit 10 includes multiple cleaning nozzles 100 and a water inlet pipe. Specifically, each cleaning nozzle 100 is located at the inner top of the first housing 1 or the inner top of the first partition 12, where the inner top of the first partition 12 refers to the first partition 12 located in the middle or at the bottom of the first housing 1. A liquid inlet channel 101 is provided inside each first partition 12, and the liquid inlet channel 101 is connected to the multiple cleaning nozzles 100 corresponding to the first partition 12 or the inner top of the first housing 1. A water inlet pipe connected to the liquid inlet channel 101 is provided on the outer wall of the first housing 1, and the other end of the water inlet pipe is connected to a cleaning water supply port, so that the cleaning water entering the cleaning nozzle 100 through the water inlet pipe can rinse the material.
[0031] Furthermore, the drying unit 11 includes multiple dryers 110, each dryer 110 being located at the inner top of the first housing 1 or the inner top of the first partition 12. Specifically, the inner top of the first partition 12 refers to the first partition 12 located in the middle or at the bottom of the first housing 1. The multiple dryers 110 can dry the materials entering the corresponding drying unit 11 so that the materials can proceed to the next process.
[0032] Furthermore, the second housing of the aforementioned conveying mechanism 120 is specifically a belt conveyor mechanism. The belt conveyor mechanism is located at the bottom of the first partition 12 or the first housing 1. The belt conveyor mechanism is used to convey materials. Each first partition 12 has a liquid outlet channel 121 first linear module inside, and a liquid outlet 122 first filter screen connected to multiple liquid outlet channels 121 first linear modules is opened on the side wall of the first housing 1. A liquid outlet pipe is connected to the liquid outlet 122 first filter screen. When the cleaning unit 10 is cleaning the materials, the falling cleaning water can enter the liquid outlet pipe through the corresponding liquid outlet channel 121 first linear module and be discharged and collected.
[0033] The aforementioned pickling assembly includes a first linear module, a first filter screen, and a first cleaning head. Specifically, the first linear module is located at the top of the second housing. In this embodiment, the first linear module can be an electric telescopic rod or other device with linear motion, the purpose of which is to allow the working end of the first linear module to move up and down within the second housing after penetrating the top of the second housing. A first filter screen is installed at the working end of the first linear module, which collects the material entering the second housing. A first cleaning head is installed on the inner wall of the second housing, which sprays an acidic solution. When the material enters the second housing, it falls onto the first filter screen, and the acidic solution sprayed by the first cleaning head washes the material as it falls. It is worth noting that the first filter screen is inclinedly installed inside the second chamber, and the height of the connection between the second chamber and the second inlet 16 is higher than the bottom of the second chamber. After the material inside the second chamber has undergone pickling, the first linear module is activated, which moves the first filter screen upward until the material at the top of the first filter screen can enter through the connection between the second chamber and the second inlet 16. Furthermore, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the second chamber, and a valve is installed inside the drain outlet to discharge the pickling wastewater after cleaning, preventing excessive accumulation of pickling wastewater inside the second chamber.
[0034] The aforementioned alkaline washing assembly includes a second linear module 30, a second filter screen 31, and a second cleaning head 32. Specifically, the second linear module 30 is disposed on top of the first solenoid valve 3 in the third housing. In this embodiment, the second linear module 30 can be an electric telescopic rod or other device with linear motion, the purpose of which is to enable the working end of the second linear module 30 to move up and down within the first solenoid valve 3 after penetrating the top of the third housing. A second filter screen 31 is disposed on the working end of the second linear module 30, which can collect the material entering the first solenoid valve 3 in the third housing. A second cleaning head 32 is disposed on the inner wall of the first solenoid valve 3 in the third housing, which can spray an alkaline solution. When the material enters the first solenoid valve 3 in the third housing, it will fall onto the second filter screen 31. During the falling process, the alkaline solution sprayed by the second cleaning head 32 can rinse the material. It is worth noting that the second filter screen 31 is inclinedly installed inside the first solenoid valve 3 of the third housing, and the height of the connection between the first solenoid valve 3 and the third inlet 18 is higher than the inner bottom of the first solenoid valve 3. After the material inside the first solenoid valve 3 has undergone alkaline washing, the second linear module 30 is activated. The second linear module 30 drives the second filter screen 31 to move upward until the material at the top of the second filter screen 31 can enter through the connection between the first solenoid valve 3 and the third inlet 18. In addition, a drain outlet is also opened at the bottom of the first solenoid valve 3 of the third housing, and a valve is installed in the drain outlet to discharge the alkaline washing wastewater after cleaning, preventing the alkaline washing wastewater inside the first solenoid valve 3 of the third housing from gradually accumulating too much.
[0035] To prevent acidic or alkaline solutions from entering the corresponding cleaning unit 10 and corroding the second housing of the conveying mechanism 120, a first solenoid valve is installed at the connection between the second housing and the second inlet 16, and a second solenoid valve is installed at the connection between the first solenoid valve 3 and the third inlet 18 in the third housing. The material can only be conveyed after it has undergone acid or alkaline washing, thus preventing acidic or alkaline washing solutions from flowing into the interior of the first housing 1.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various modifications and variations. Without conflict, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
