Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-ferrous metal smelting technology, specifically to a demolding and ingot receiving device for a linear ingot casting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Non-ferrous smelting and casting processes include raw material melting, casting and peeling, cooling and demolding, stacking and packaging, weighing and metering, and warehousing. The cooling and demolding process is as follows: high-temperature liquid is injected into the mold cavity by a quantitative casting device according to the required amount. The mold moves forward sequentially under the drive of the linear ingot casting machine's transmission chain. The high-temperature liquid in the mold gradually solidifies into corresponding block solids according to production requirements. When the mold reaches the position of the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine, the rotation of the drive wheel drives the mold to rotate from the upper line position to the lower line position of the unit. The ingot in the mold begins to slowly detach from the mold. At this time, the block solids in the mold need to be detached from the mold into the corresponding product conveyor according to the required direction and position to meet the needs of automated production.
[0003] To ensure that the ingots in the mold are ejected from the conveyor as required, a demolding and receiving device is currently used to guide and receive the ingots. However, existing demolding and receiving devices are usually fixed on the equipment frame. After the ingots solidify, their temperature is still relatively high. Under long-term operation, the demolding and receiving device will undergo irregular deformation, increasing the gap between it and the mold, affecting the receiving effect. At the same time, the overflow ingots generated during the casting process will follow the mold to the demolding and receiving device. The overflow ingots have difficulty passing through the demolding and receiving device smoothly, and they are prone to jamming with the demolding and receiving device. This will also increase the deformation of the demolding and receiving device, preventing the ingots from reaching the corresponding conveyor in the required direction and position. Furthermore, thinner ingots cannot follow the mold after completely ejecting from the mold, which can easily lead to accumulation and damage to the demolding and receiving device. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the problems of deformation and difficulty in smoothly passing overflowing ingots in existing demolding and ingot receiving devices. It provides a demolding and ingot receiving device for a linear ingot casting machine. This device does not deform during operation, preventing increased gaps between the device and the mold. It also ensures the smooth passage of overflowing ingots, avoiding jamming and reducing equipment downtime. Furthermore, it allows ingots to be placed on the appropriate conveyor according to the required direction and position, improving equipment stability and ensuring the quality of the ingot's appearance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a demolding and ingot receiving device for a linear ingot casting machine, comprising a linear ingot casting machine, a conveyor, and a mold connected to the transmission chain of the linear ingot casting machine, and further comprising a floating positioning and guiding mechanism and an ingot receiving mechanism. The floating guiding mechanism includes a frame, a floating guide plate, and an elastic support assembly. The floating guide plate includes a straight arm and an arcuate portion disposed at the lower end of the straight arm. The upper end of the straight arm is rotatably connected to the frame, and the arcuate portion is located outside the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine. The elastic support assembly is fixedly disposed on one side of the frame and connected to the arcuate portion. The floating positioning and guiding mechanism protects the ingot from falling onto the conveyor as it travels along the circumference of the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine, providing positioning, guidance, and protection for the ingot. The elastic support assembly allows the floating guide plate to rotate counterclockwise, increasing the gap between the floating guide plate and the mold, ensuring that overflowing ingots can pass smoothly.
[0006] The ingot receiving mechanism is located at the end of the conveyor. The ingot receiving mechanism includes a support block one, a support block two, and an ingot receiving roller. The support block one and the support block two are symmetrically arranged on the top of the conveyor frame. The ingot receiving roller is rotatably and inclinedly mounted on the support block one and the support block two. The ingot receiving roller serves to receive the ingot. The ingot receiving roller is rotatably mounted on the support block one and the support block two so that the ingot can move linearly on the ingot receiving roller, avoiding the phenomenon of the ingot falling or overturning.
[0007] Furthermore, a fixed shaft is vertically arranged on the upper part of one side of the frame, and a bushing is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the straight arm. The bushing is rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft. The cooperation between the bushing and the fixed shaft allows the floating guide plate to rotate, thereby increasing the gap between the floating guide plate and the mold under the action of the elastic support assembly, which facilitates the smooth passage of the overflow ingot through the floating guide plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the elastic support assembly includes a support beam and support springs. One end of the support beam is vertically disposed on one side of the frame, and the angle between the top of the support beam and the horizontal plane is an acute angle. Multiple support springs are spaced apart on the top of the support beam, and the two ends of the support springs are respectively connected to the support beam and the arc portion. The support springs of the elastic support assembly support the floating guide plate to ensure that the floating guide plate positions, guides, and protects the ingot. At the same time, under the action of the support springs, when the overflow ingot passes through the floating guide plate, it can also increase the gap between the floating guide plate and the mold.
[0009] Furthermore, the conveyor is located below the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine. Both support blocks one and two are equipped with seated bearings at their tops, and the two ends of the receiving roller are respectively interference-fitted with the inner rings of the two seated bearings. The seated bearings allow the receiving roller to rotate, enabling the ingot to move linearly along the receiving roller.
[0010] Furthermore, the receiving roller is inclined upwards towards the elastic support assembly, and the height of the first support block is greater than the height of the second support block. The purpose of this is to make the receiving roller tilted, so as to facilitate the receiving operation of the falling ingot.
[0011] Furthermore, the longitudinal center line of the mold located above the receiving roller is perpendicular to the axial axis of the receiving roller; the transverse side of one side of the inner cavity of the mold located above the receiving roller is in the same vertical plane as the axial axis of the receiving roller. The purpose is to ensure that one end of the ingot falls onto the conveyor and the other end falls onto the receiving roller, so that the conveyor can smoothly transport the ingot forward.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are as follows:
[0013] This utility model has a reasonable structure and good performance. During operation, it will not deform and increase the gap between the ingot and the mold. At the same time, it can ensure that the overflow ingot passes smoothly and avoid the phenomenon of overflow ingot getting stuck, thus reducing the downtime rate of equipment failure. Moreover, it can make the ingot reach the corresponding conveyor according to the required direction and position, improve the stability of equipment operation, and ensure the quality of the ingot appearance.
[0014] This utility model's floating positioning and guiding mechanism protects the ingot from falling onto the conveyor as it travels along the circumference of the drive wheel of a linear ingot casting machine. The floating guide plate positions, guides, and protects the ingot. The floating guide plate can rotate through the action of the bushing and the fixed shaft. The support spring of the elastic support assembly supports the floating guide plate, ensuring its positioning, guiding, and protective functions. Simultaneously, the support spring increases the gap between the floating guide plate and the mold when an overflowing ingot passes through, ensuring the ingot can pass smoothly. After the overflowing ingot passes, the support spring also allows the floating guide plate to return to its original position.
[0015] This utility model's ingot receiving mechanism ensures that the ingot falls smoothly onto the receiving roller and conveyor after detaching from the floating positioning guide mechanism, achieving the effect of the ingot moving to a designated position under the drive of the conveyor. The receiving roller serves to receive the ingot, and its tilted installation is intended to allow the ingot to move linearly on the receiving roller after falling, thus preventing the ingot from falling or overturning. At the same time, both ends of the ingot can fall onto the conveyor and the receiving roller respectively, achieving the effect of the conveyor driving the ingot forward smoothly.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0020] like Figures 1-2As shown, a demolding and ingot receiving device for a linear ingot casting machine includes a linear ingot casting machine 1, a conveyor 3, and a mold 2 connected to the transmission chain of the linear ingot casting machine 1. It also includes a floating positioning and guiding mechanism and an ingot receiving mechanism. The floating guiding mechanism includes a frame 4, a floating guide plate 6, and an elastic support assembly. The floating guide plate 6 includes a straight arm portion 602 and an arc portion 601 disposed at the lower end of the straight arm portion 602. The upper end of the straight arm portion 602 is rotatably connected to the frame 4. The arc portion 601 is located outside the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine 1. The elastic support assembly is fixedly disposed on one side of the frame 4 and connected to the arc portion 601. In this embodiment, the mold 2 is mounted on the transmission chain of the linear ingot casting machine 1, and the mold 2 can move forward sequentially under the drive of the transmission chain of the linear ingot casting machine 1; wherein the floating guide mechanism is located on the outside of the linear ingot casting machine 1, the center of the arc portion 601 is at the same position as the center of the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine 1, and the diameter of the arc portion 601 is larger than the diameter of the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine 1; during the operation of the linear ingot casting machine 1, the floating guide plate 6 plays a role in positioning, guiding and protecting the ingot, so that when the ingot moves along the circumference of the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine 1, it prevents... The ingot failed to fall onto the conveyor 3 as required; the arc portion 601 of the floating guide plate 6 is connected to the frame 4 through the elastic support assembly. The elastic support assembly supports the floating guide plate 6. When the overflow ingot passes through the floating guide plate 6, the floating guide plate 6 can rotate counterclockwise under the action of the elastic support assembly, increasing the gap between it and the mold 2, so as to ensure that the overflow ingot can pass through the floating guide plate 6 smoothly, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of jamming between the floating guide plate 6 and the overflow ingot, and thus avoiding the phenomenon of deformation of the floating guide plate 6.
[0021] The ingot receiving mechanism is located at the end of the conveyor 3. The mechanism includes a first support block 9, a second support block 10, and an ingot receiving roller 12. The first support block 9 and the second support block 10 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the conveyor 3 frame. The ingot receiving roller 12 is rotatably and inclinedly mounted on the first support block 9 and the second support block 10. In this embodiment, the upper surfaces of the first support block 9 and the second support block 10 are both inclined surfaces. This is to ensure that the ingot receiving roller 12 is in an inclined state, allowing the ingot to move linearly on the ingot receiving roller 12 when it rotates out of the arc portion 601 of the floating guide plate 6. This ensures that the ingot will not fall or overturn, achieving the effect of the ingot moving to the designated position under the drive of the conveyor 3.
[0022] A fixed shaft 5 is vertically arranged on the upper part of one side of the frame 4, and a bushing 603 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the straight arm 602. The bushing 603 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 5. In this embodiment, the fixed shaft 5 and the bushing 603 are matched. The cooperation between the fixed shaft 5 and the bushing 603 enables the floating guide plate 6 to rotate, so that when the overflow ingot passes through, the floating guide plate 6 can rotate counterclockwise to increase the gap between it and the mold 2, ensuring that the overflow ingot can pass through smoothly.
[0023] The elastic support assembly includes a support beam 7 and support springs 8. One end of the support beam 7 is vertically disposed on one side of the frame 4. The angle between the top of the support beam 7 and the horizontal plane is an acute angle. Multiple support springs 8 are spaced apart on the top of the support beam 7. The two ends of each support spring 8 are connected to the support beam 7 and the arc portion 601, respectively. In this embodiment, the acute angle between the upper surface of the support beam 7 and the horizontal plane is designed to facilitate the support of the arc portion 601 by the support springs 8. There are two support springs 8. The two ends of each support spring 8 can be fixedly connected to the support beam 7 and the arc portion 601, respectively, or they can be limited and fixed by installing retaining rings on the support beam 7 and the arc portion 601. Under the action of the support springs 8, the floating guide plate 6 can rotate counterclockwise, increasing the gap between it and the mold 2 to ensure that the overflow ingot can pass smoothly through the floating guide plate 6. After the overflow ingot passes through the floating guide plate 6, the support springs 8 can also reset the floating guide plate 6, waiting for the next ingot to pass, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the production line.
[0024] The conveyor 3 is located below the drive wheel of the linear ingot casting machine 1. The top of the support block 1 9 and the support block 2 10 are both equipped with seated bearings 11. The two ends of the receiving roller 12 are respectively interference-fitted with the inner rings of the two seated bearings 11. In this embodiment, the receiving roller 12 can be rotated by the action of the two seated bearings 11, so that the ingot can move linearly on the receiving roller 12.
[0025] The receiving roller 12 is inclined upwards toward the elastic support assembly. The height of support block 9 is greater than the height of support block 10, meaning the thickness of support block 9 is greater than the thickness of support block 10. In this embodiment, support block 9 is located on the side of the conveyor 3 frame closer to the elastic support assembly, and support block 10 is located on the side of the conveyor 2 frame away from the elastic support assembly. This is to ensure that the receiving roller 12 is in an upwardly inclined state.
[0026] The longitudinal centerline of the mold 2 located above the receiving roller 12 is perpendicular to the axial axis of the receiving roller 12; the transverse side of one side of the inner cavity of the mold 2 located above the receiving roller 12 is in the same vertical plane as the axial axis of the receiving roller 12. In this embodiment, after the ingot rotates and moves out of the end of the arc portion 601 of the floating guide plate 6, one end of the ingot falls onto the conveyor 3 and the other end falls onto the receiving roller 12, so that the ingot can fall smoothly onto the receiving roller 12 and the conveyor 3, and the conveyor 3 drives the ingot to be smoothly transported forward to the designated position.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: High-temperature liquid is injected into the cavity of mold 2 by a quantitative casting device according to the required amount. Mold 2 moves forward sequentially under the drive of the transmission chain of linear ingot casting machine 1. The high-temperature liquid in mold 2 gradually solidifies into ingots according to production requirements. When mold 2 moves to the position of the drive wheel of linear ingot casting machine 1, the rotation of the drive wheel of linear ingot casting machine 1 drives mold 2 to rotate from the upper line position to the lower line of the unit. When the ingot runs along the circumference of the drive wheel of linear ingot casting machine 1, it passes through the floating guide plate 6. The arc part 601 of the floating guide plate 6 positions, guides, and protects the ingot. After the ingot rotates and moves out of the end of the arc part 601 of the floating guide plate 6, the ingot begins to move linearly on the receiving roller 12. One end of the ingot falls onto the conveyor 3 and the other end falls onto the receiving roller 12. The ingot falls smoothly onto the receiving roller 12 and the conveyor 3. The conveyor 3 drives the ingot to be smoothly transported forward to the designated position.
[0028] When overflow occurs, the bushing 603 rotates counterclockwise on the fixed shaft 5 under the action of the support spring 8, and the floating guide plate 6 rotates counterclockwise to increase the gap between it and the mold 3, ensuring that the overflow ingot passes smoothly through the floating guide plate 6 and ensuring the normal operation of the device; after the overflow ingot passes through the floating guide plate 6, the floating guide plate 6 returns to the ready position under the force of the support spring 8, waiting for the next ingot to pass.
[0029] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the technical solutions described in the scope of the utility model patent application should be included within the scope of the utility model patent application.
