Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum-silicon alloy production technology, specifically to an aluminum-silicon alloy casting crucible cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of batching and casting aluminum-silicon alloys, the materials need to be melted in a crucible beforehand. After the materials are melted, during the pouring of the molten aluminum-silicon alloy, due to the high melting point and viscosity of the alloy, the roughness of the crucible, the decrease in temperature, and the presence of an alumina film, not all of it can be poured out. This causes the inner wall of the crucible to solidify rapidly, forming residue, especially for aluminum-silicon alloys with high silicon content. If not cleaned in time, the residue will affect the alloy composition of subsequent alloys melted in the same crucible, making it impossible to control the alloy composition during alloy composition experiments and affecting the accuracy of the experiments. Furthermore, the residue has strong adhesion after solidification, and forcibly cleaning it after cooling can easily damage the crucible. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the crucible promptly after each experiment while the molten alloy is still partially solidified.

[0003] Currently, when cleaning laboratory crucibles, due to the high temperature of the crucibles, a clamping device is required to hold the crucibles for cleaning. The current clamping device is a crucible tong, which needs to be held manually. It is inconvenient to invert the crucible and fix its position for cleaning. Moreover, it requires two people to work together to carry out the cleaning work, which is dangerous, inefficient, and not conducive to the accurate preparation of alloy composition.

[0005] This utility model is implemented by the following technical solution: an aluminum-silicon alloy casting crucible cleaning device, which includes a platform, a support plate, a rotating rod, a rotating handle, and a crucible rack;

[0006] The top end face of the platform is fixed with a vertically arranged support plate, and a horizontally arranged rotating rod is movably inserted through the middle of the support plate. One end of the rotating rod is fixed with a rotating handle, and the other end of the rotating rod is fixed with a crucible rack.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the aluminum-silicon alloy casting crucible cleaning device includes a platform 1, a support plate 2, a rotating rod 3, and a rotating handle 4.

[0020] A vertically arranged support plate 2 is fixed to the top end face of the platform 1. A horizontally arranged rotating rod 3 is movably inserted through the middle of the support plate 2. A handle 4 is fixed to one end of the rotating rod 3, and a crucible rack 11 is fixed to the other end of the rotating rod 3.

[0021] The crucible rack 11 includes a top plate 5, a connecting rod 7, a bottom support 8, and a crucible clamping device 10. The outer wall of the top plate 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 3. An installation opening 6 is provided in the middle of the top plate 5. Several vertically arranged connecting rods 7 are fixed to the bottom end face of the top plate 5. A horizontally arranged bottom support 8 is fixed between the bottom ends of the connecting rods 7. With the cooperation of the rotating rod 3, the handle 4, the top plate 5, the connecting rods 7, and the bottom support 8, it is convenient to clean the crucible and pour out the residue.

[0022] The crucible-accommodating space 9 is formed between the mounting port 6, the connecting rod 7, and the base 8;

[0023] The outer wall of the top plate 5 is provided with at least two crucible clamping devices 10.

[0024] The crucible clamping device 10 includes a rotating seat 10.1, a connecting block 10.2, and a pressing block 10.3. The fixed end of the rotating seat 10.1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top plate 5. The movable end of the rotating seat 10.1 is connected to one end of the connecting block 10.2. The other end of the connecting block 10.2 is fixed with the pressing block 10.3. The pressing block 10.3 is movably positioned above the top end face of the top plate 5. A pressing block limiting member 10.4 is detachably connected between the pressing block 10.3 and the outer wall of the top plate 5.

[0025] The pressure block limiting component 10.4 includes a positioning plate 10.4.1 and a positioning pin 10.4.2. The positioning plate 10.4.1 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top plate 5 on both sides of the connecting block 10.2. The positioning plate 10.4.1 has a positioning hole 10.4.3 on its surface. The positioning pin 10.4.2 is detachably connected between the two positioning holes 10.4.3. Under the action of the positioning plate 10.4.1 and the positioning pin 10.4.2, the stability of the crucible can be effectively guaranteed when the crucible rotates at a specific angle, thus solving the problem of the crucible falling.

[0026] The specific operation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0027] Aluminum-silicon alloys solidify quickly, so they need to be cleaned within two minutes of being poured out, before they are completely solidified.

[0028] Place the crucible into the crucible holding space 9 within the crucible rack 11;

[0029] Press the pressure block 10.3 onto the top end face of the crucible. Use the positioning plate 10.4.1 and positioning pin 10.4.2 to limit the connection block 10.2 so that the connection block 10.2 remains stationary. Further limit the pressure block 10.3 so that the pressure block 10.3 firmly clamps the crucible during the cleaning process.

[0030] The operator turns the handle 4 with one hand, which causes the handle 4 to drive the rotating rod 3 to rotate. The rotating rod 3 drives the top plate 5 to rotate, and the top plate 5 further drives the crucible in the crucible containing space 9 to rotate. After rotating to a position that is easy to clean, the operator uses a steel brush to clean the inside of the crucible with the other hand. After cleaning, the operator turns the handle 4 again to turn the crucible upside down and pour out the residue inside the crucible.

[0031] After cleaning, turn the crucible upright, remove the positioning pins 10.4.2, and move the pressure block 10.3 so that the pressure block 10.3 is removed from the top plate 5. The crucible can then be taken out from the crucible holding space 9 for later use.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
