Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum-copper alloy refining technology, specifically to an aluminum-copper alloy refining agent addition device. Background Technology

[0002] In the metal smelting industry, refining and purifying molten metal is necessary to achieve better product quality. Refining agents are powdered or granular fluxes, prepared by mixing various dried inorganic salts in a specific ratio. They are primarily used to remove hydrogen and floating oxide inclusions from molten aluminum-copper alloys. Some components of the refining agent decompose readily at high temperatures, generating gases that readily react with hydrogen, exhibit strong adsorption to inclusions, and rapidly escape from the melt. During refining, refining agents are added to the smelting furnace using a material adding device.

[0003] In existing technologies, refining agents are typically poured into a storage tank and then transported via a pump and pipeline. However, when the refining agent is not used in the tank, it is prone to becoming damp, clumping, or accumulating over time. This can easily cause blockages in the pipeline or uneven discharge, thus affecting the material addition effect. Furthermore, adding clumped refining agent to molten aluminum-copper alloy may result in uneven dispersion of the agent, affecting the dehydrogenation effect and potentially leading to a decline in product quality. Therefore, we propose a novel refining agent addition device for aluminum-copper alloys. Utility Model Content

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an aluminum-copper alloy refining agent addition device, comprising: a box body 1, with a feed trough 6 fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1, and a feed trough cover plate provided on the top of the feed trough 6 to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the box body 1 through the feed trough 6 and contaminating the refining agent when crushing the block refining agent. A filter plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 1 by several fixing bolts 4, which facilitates the disassembly of the filter plate 3 for repair or cleaning. An installation plate 2 is fixedly sleeved on the lower part of the side wall of the box body 1, and a support frame 14 is fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the installation plate 2. The support frame 14 can fix the entire device on the aluminum-copper alloy processing equipment and ensure the stability of the overall structure of the device; a crushing component 5, which is located in the upper part of the inner cavity of the box body 1; a cleaning component 8, which is located in the lower part of the inner cavity of the box body 1 and is slidably connected to the top of the filter plate 3; and a stirring component 13, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the installation plate 2.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the stirring assembly 13 includes a second motor 13.1, a rotating shaft 13.2, and stirring blades 13.3. The second motor 13.1 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the mounting plate 2, and the rotating shaft 13.2 is rotatably connected to one side of the bottom of the mounting plate 2 via bearings. The output end of the second motor 13.1 passes through the mounting plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 13.2. The stirring blades 13.3 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 13.2. When the entire device is fixedly mounted on the aluminum-copper alloy processing equipment via the support frame 14, the rotating shafts 13.2 and stirring blades 13.3 of the two sets of stirring assemblies 13 extend into the aluminum-copper alloy liquid. When the refining agent is added to the aluminum-copper alloy processing equipment, the second motor 13.1 is started to drive the rotating shaft 13.2 and stirring blades 13.3 to rotate, and the aluminum-copper alloy liquid and the refining agent therein are stirred to ensure that the refining agent and the aluminum-copper alloy liquid are fully contacted and mixed evenly, thereby improving the quality of the final aluminum-copper alloy product.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the crushing assembly 5 includes a motor 5.1, crushing rollers 5.2, a driving gear 5.3, and a driven gear 5.4. The two crushing rollers 5.2 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 via bearings. The driving gear 5.3 and the driven gear 5.4 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 1 via bearings, and the driving gear 5.3 and the driven gear 5.4 are meshed together. The motor 5.1 is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the housing 1. The output end of the motor 5.1 passes through the side wall of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to one crushing roller 5.2. The other end of this crushing roller 5.2 is fixedly connected to the driving gear 5.3. The driven gear 5.4 is fixedly connected to one end of the other crushing roller 5.2. When adding the refining agent, the refining agent powder is first fed into the inner cavity of the box 1 through the feed trough 6. At the same time, the motor 5.1 is started. The motor 5.1 drives one crushing roller 5.2 to rotate. This crushing roller 5.2 drives the drive gear 5.3 to rotate. The drive gear 5.3 then drives the driven gear 5.4 to rotate, thereby driving the other crushing roller 5.2 to rotate. At this time, the two crushing rollers 5.2 rotate in opposite directions. The crushing blades on the two crushing rollers 5.2 can crush the blocky refining agent fed into the feed trough 6. The crushing effect is good, which can effectively ensure that the refining agent is in full contact with the aluminum-copper alloy solution.

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a non-through receiving groove 7 is opened in the lower part of the inner wall of the box body 1, and a through groove 9 is opened in the lower part of the other side wall of the inner wall of the box body 1, which leads to the outside. A recycling box 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the mounting plate 2. A cleaning door 12 is provided on one side of the recycling box 11. The refining agent recovered in the inner cavity of the recycling box 11 can be cleaned through the cleaning door 12 and recycled, thereby improving the utilization rate of the refining agent. A discharge chute 10 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the side wall of the box body 1. One end of the discharge chute 10 is connected to the through groove 9, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the recycling box 11.

[0025] The cleaning assembly 8 includes an electric telescopic rod 8.1 and a cleaning plate 8.2. Several electric telescopic rods 8.1 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the receiving trough 7. One end of the electric telescopic rod 8.1 is fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 8.2. The bottom of the cleaning plate 8.2 is movably fitted with the top of the filter plate 3 to facilitate cleaning of the top of the filter plate 3. The cleaning plate 8.2 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the through trough 9. After the pulverized refining agent is further filtered through the filter plate 3, it can be added to the aluminum-copper alloy liquid. When a large amount of uncrushed lumpy refining agent and uncrushable impurities accumulate on the filter plate 3, the electric telescopic rods 8.1 are activated to push the cleaning plate 8.2 to move, thereby cleaning the uncrushed lumpy refining agent and uncrushable impurities on the filter plate 3 into the inner cavity of the through trough 9, and then falling from the through trough 9 into the discharge trough 10, and finally into the inner cavity of the recovery box 11. This effectively prevents the filter holes of the filter plate 3 from being blocked and improves the efficiency of adding refining agent.

[0026] It should be noted that this utility model is an aluminum-copper alloy refining agent addition device. Before adding the refining agent, the device is first fixedly placed on the aluminum-copper alloy processing equipment by the support frame 14. At this time, the rotating shaft 13.2 and stirring blade 13.3 of the two sets of stirring components 13 extend into the aluminum-copper alloy liquid.

[0027] When adding the refining agent, the refining agent powder is first fed into the inner cavity of the housing 1 through the feed trough 6. Simultaneously, motor 5.1 is started, driving one crushing roller 5.2 to rotate. This crushing roller 5.2, in turn, drives the drive gear 5.3, which in turn drives the driven gear 5.4, thus driving the other crushing roller 5.2. At this point, the two crushing rollers 5.2 rotate in opposite directions, and the crushing blades on them crush the lumpy refining agent fed into the feed trough 6. The crushing effect is good, effectively ensuring sufficient contact between the refining agent and the aluminum-copper alloy solution. After further filtration through the filter plate 3, the crushed refining agent can be added to the aluminum-copper alloy solution. At this time, motor 13.1 is started, driving the rotating shaft 13.2 and the stirring blades 13.3 to rotate. The aluminum-copper alloy solution and the refining agent within it are stirred, ensuring sufficient contact and uniform mixing between the refining agent and the aluminum-copper alloy solution, thus improving the quality of the final aluminum-copper alloy product.

[0028] When a large amount of uncrushed lumpy refining agent and uncrushable impurities accumulate on the filter plate 3, the electric telescopic rod 8.1 is activated to push the cleaning plate 8.2 to move, thereby cleaning the uncrushed lumpy refining agent and uncrushable impurities on the filter plate 3 into the inner cavity of the through groove 9, and then dropping them from the through groove 9 into the discharge trough 10, and finally into the inner cavity of the recovery box 11. The refining agent recovered in the inner cavity of the recovery box 11 is then cleaned through the cleaning door 12 and recycled, which improves the utilization rate of the refining agent, effectively prevents the filter holes of the filter plate 3 from being blocked, and improves the efficiency of adding refining agent.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
