Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of machining, and in particular to a continuous directional solidification device for copper materials. Background Technology
[0002] Directional solidification, as an advanced material forming process, plays a crucial role in the preparation of high-performance metallic materials. This technology enables ordered grain growth along specific directions, effectively eliminating transverse grain boundaries and improving the mechanical properties and service life of materials. Particularly in the manufacturing of high thermal conductivity products such as precision copper alloy round tubes, directional solidification can significantly improve their microstructure uniformity and thermal conductivity, and is widely used in electronic heat dissipation, aerospace, and high-end industrial equipment.
[0003] In the prior art, for example (Patent No.: 202321127606.2), a "precision copper alloy round tube directional solidification device" is disclosed. This device includes a worktable, a solidification mechanism, and a clamping part. The clamping part uses an electric cylinder to drive a push rod to move an arc-shaped abutment plate to clamp the copper alloy round tube. Although this structure can achieve the clamping and traction function of copper alloy round tube to a certain extent, it still has some shortcomings in practical applications.
[0004] The original clamping section used a mechanical push rod to apply clamping force, which had a slow response speed and poor clamping stability. During continuous copper drawing, slippage or clamping failure was prone to occur, affecting the continuity and consistency of the solidification process, thereby reducing the yield and production efficiency. In addition, the limited stroke of the clamping section made it difficult to adapt to the clamping requirements of copper materials of different specifications, limiting the versatility and applicability of the equipment.

[0035] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a continuous directional solidification apparatus for copper materials. At least two clamping mechanisms are installed inside the apparatus body. The clamping mechanisms include:
[0037] Assembly 1 is the basic mounting structure for the entire clamping mechanism and is installed inside the device body;
[0038] Two rotating shafts 2 are respectively rotatably installed in the two inner holes of the assembly 1;
[0039] Two swinging components 3 are fixedly installed at the ends of two rotating shafts 2, respectively;
[0040] Two support shafts 4 are rotatably installed in the shaft holes of two swinging parts 3, and the rotation axes of the two support shafts 4 are parallel to the rotation axes of the two rotating shafts 2. Clamping rollers 5 are coaxially installed on the support shafts 4.
[0041] The drive mechanism 6 is mounted on the assembly 1 and is connected to two support shafts 4 to provide rotational power to the clamping roller 5.
[0042] Adjustment mechanism 7 is installed on assembly 1. Adjustment mechanism 7 is used to adjust the distance between the two clamping rollers 5 to adapt to the clamping requirements of copper materials of different specifications.
[0043] In this embodiment, assembly 1 serves as the basic installation structure, securely installed inside the device body, providing reliable support for other components. The combination of two rotating shafts 2 and the swinging component 3 allows the support shaft 4 and clamping roller 5 to swing flexibly, better conforming to the surface of copper materials of different specifications and improving clamping stability. The support shaft 4 is rotatably installed on the swinging component 3 and parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 2. Together with the coaxially installed clamping roller 5, it ensures that the copper material is subjected to uniform force during clamping and conveying, reducing surface damage. The drive mechanism 6 directly provides rotational power to the clamping roller 5. Compared with the original device, it can achieve more stable and continuous copper material traction, avoiding the spatial limitation of the clamping part stroke in the original equipment. The adjustment mechanism 7 is installed on assembly 1, which can accurately adjust the distance between the two clamping rollers 5, quickly adapting to copper materials of different specifications, greatly enhancing the device's versatility for copper materials of various specifications, while improving the clamping accuracy and efficiency during the directional solidification process of copper materials, reducing equipment debugging and maintenance costs, and providing a more reliable guarantee for the continuous directional solidification process of copper materials.
[0044] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 6 includes:
[0045] Two hollow shafts 61 are coaxially mounted on two rotating shafts 2, and a drive gear 62 is coaxially mounted on the hollow shafts 61.
[0046] Two driven gears 63 are coaxially mounted on two support shafts 4, and the driving gear 62 is meshed with the driven gear 63 on the same side.
[0047] The power mechanism 64 is mounted on the assembly 1 and is connected to two hollow shafts 61.
[0048] The power mechanism 64 includes:
[0049] Servo motor 64a is mounted on assembly 1, and worm gear 64b is coaxially mounted on the output end of servo motor 64a;
[0050] Two worm gears 64c are coaxially mounted on two hollow shafts 61, and the worm 64b is meshed with the two worm gears 64c.
[0051] The assembly 1 is provided with an auxiliary part 64d, and the worm 64b is rotatably connected to the inner hole of the auxiliary part 64d;
[0052] In this embodiment, two hollow shafts 61 are coaxially rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 2. Together with the coaxially mounted drive gear 62, the power of the power mechanism 64 can be synchronously transmitted to the two supporting shafts 4. The meshing transmission between the drive gear 62 and the driven gear 63 ensures the stability and accuracy of power transmission, guaranteeing the stability of the transmission after the distance between the two clamping rollers 5 is adjusted. A worm gear 64b is coaxially mounted at the output end of the servo motor 64a of the power mechanism 64, meshing with the worm wheels 64c on the two hollow shafts 61 to form a worm gear transmission structure. This structure features a large transmission ratio, smooth operation, and strong self-locking properties. It can precisely control the speed and direction of the clamping rollers 5 through the servo motor 64a, and also provide stable traction force during the copper solidification process. The auxiliary component 64d supports the worm gear 64b, enhancing the structural stability during power transmission, reducing the radial runout of the worm gear 64b, and further improving the reliability of the drive mechanism 6.
[0053] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 7 includes:
[0054] The fastener 71 is installed on the assembly 1, and a threaded rod 72 is rotatably mounted on the fastener 71. The end of the threaded rod 72 is provided with an adjustment hole.
[0055] The movable part 73 is slidably mounted on the assembly 1, and the threaded rod 72 is fitted with the threaded through hole of the movable part 73. The movable part 73 has teeth symmetrically arranged on both sides.
[0056] Two transmission gears 74 are coaxially mounted on two rotating shafts 2, and the teeth at both ends of the moving part 73 are respectively meshed with the two transmission gears 74.
[0057] In this embodiment, the fixing member 71 is securely installed on the assembly 1, providing reliable rotational support for the threaded rod 72. The adjustment hole at the end of the threaded rod 72 allows the operator to quickly rotate the threaded rod 72 using tools. The threaded engagement between the threaded rod 72 and the moving member 73 converts the rotational motion of the threaded rod 72 into the linear sliding motion of the moving member 73. Utilizing the precision of the threaded transmission, fine-tuning of the position of the moving member 73 can be achieved. The teeth symmetrically arranged on both sides of the moving member 73 mesh with the transmission gear 74 coaxially mounted on the rotating shaft 2. When the moving member 73 slides, it synchronously drives the transmission gear 74 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft 2, the swing member 3, the support shaft 4, and the clamping roller 5 to move in tandem, achieving synchronous adjustment of the distance between the two clamping rollers 5. This ensures that the two clamping rollers 5 remain parallel and under balanced force during the adjustment process, significantly improving the adjustment efficiency.
[0058] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, such as Figure 3 As shown, a guide rail 75 is provided at the sliding connection between the movable part 73 and the assembly 1;
[0059] In this embodiment, the guide rail 75 provides precise linear guidance for the sliding of the moving part 73, effectively preventing the moving part 73 from deviating or wobbling under the drive of the threaded rod 72, ensuring that it slides smoothly along the preset direction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the distance adjustment between the two clamping rollers 5. During the adjustment process, the guide rail 75 restricts the degree of freedom of the moving part 73, so that the teeth on both sides of it always maintain stable meshing with the transmission gear 74, preventing gear transmission failure or jamming due to the deviation of the moving part 73, and ensuring the smoothness of the linkage adjustment of the clamping rollers 5.
[0060] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a positioning arc groove is provided in the middle of the clamping roller 5;
[0061] In this embodiment, its arc-shaped structure can accurately position the copper material, keeping it centered during transport in the device, preventing deviation, ensuring the accuracy of the position during the continuous directional solidification of the copper material, and avoiding the impact of positional deviation on the solidification quality.
[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
