A cooling device for aluminum alloy casting production

Abstract

This utility model provides a cooling device for aluminum alloy casting production, comprising: a water tank with a drain pipe at its bottom; multiple support legs, each positioned at one of the four corners of the bottom of the water tank; a gantry frame slidably mounted inside the support legs; traveling wheels rotatably mounted inside the gantry frame; and a lifting structure fixedly mounted on the top inner side of the support legs. When the water tank needs to be moved, the electric telescopic rod is first activated, which moves the gantry frame and traveling wheels upwards, causing the traveling wheels to move out of the support legs and into contact with the ground. Continuing to move the traveling wheels downwards raises the water tank, which can then be pushed to move it, facilitating movement by workers. After movement, the traveling wheels are retracted, and the support legs fix the water tank in place.

Description

Technical Field

[0002] Aluminum alloy castings are casting products made of aluminum alloy materials. Aluminum alloys have advantages such as low density, high strength, and good corrosion resistance, and are therefore widely used in the automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, construction, and machinery industries. The production process of aluminum alloy castings mainly includes smelting, casting, and heat treatment. During smelting, aluminum ingots, alloying elements, and other raw materials are added to a furnace, heated to a liquid state, and then stirred, degassed, and refined to ensure the quality of the aluminum alloy. During casting, the molten aluminum alloy is poured into a mold, and after cooling and solidification, the casting is formed. During heat treatment, the casting undergoes solution treatment and aging treatment to improve its strength and hardness.

[0028] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, specific embodiments of this utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the following description.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, a cooling device for aluminum alloy casting production includes: a water tank 1, with a drain pipe 7 installed at the bottom of the water tank 1; multiple support legs 2, arranged at the four corners of the bottom of the water tank 1; a gantry frame 12, slidably disposed inside the support legs 2; traveling wheels 13, rotatably disposed inside the gantry frame 12; and a lifting structure, fixedly disposed at the top of the support legs 2 and connected to the top of the gantry frame 12, for driving the gantry frame 12 to move up and down.

[0030] The support leg 2 has a storage slot 11 inside. The driving wheel 13 and the gantry frame 12 are located inside the storage slot 11. The lifting structure includes an electric telescopic rod 14, which is set at the inner top of the support leg 2. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 14 is connected to the top of the gantry frame 12. The inner walls on both sides of the storage slot 11 have sliding grooves. The two sides of the gantry frame 12 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves by sliders.

[0031] The present invention provides a technical solution in which, during use, water is first filled into the water tank 1, and then the casting is placed inside the water tank 1 for rapid cooling. When the water tank 1 needs to be moved, the electric telescopic rod 14 is first activated, which drives the gantry frame 12 and the traveling wheels 13 to move upward, so that the traveling wheels 13 move out of the support legs 2 and contact the ground. Continuing to move the traveling wheels 13 downward can raise the water tank 1, and then the water tank 1 can be moved by pushing it, which is convenient for workers to move. After the movement is completed, the traveling wheels 13 are retracted, and the position of the water tank 1 is fixed by the support legs 2.

[0032] Preferably, a support plate 5 is slidably arranged inside the water tank 1, and multiple slots 16 are opened on the surface of the support plate 5. The slots 16 penetrate the support plate 5. Lifting components are provided at both ends of the water tank 1. The lifting components are connected to the support plate 5 and are used to drive the support plate 5 to move up and down.

[0033] The lifting assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder 3 fixedly mounted at one end of the water tank 1, a first connecting plate 4 mounted on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3, and a second connecting plate 15 mounted at both ends of the first connecting plate 4. One end of the second connecting plate 15 is connected to the top of the support plate 5.

[0034] Specifically, the support plate 5 can support the casting. After cooling is complete, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is activated to move the support plate 5 upward, which can move the casting out of the water, making it convenient for workers to remove the casting.

[0035] Preferably, the top of the support plate 5 is provided with multiple water spray pipes 6, the bottom of the support plate 5 is provided with two connecting boxes 10 opposite each other, the two sides of the connecting boxes 10 are connected with multiple water supply tanks 8, the water supply tanks 8 are connected to the water spray pipes 6, and the bottom of the connecting box 10 is provided with a water pump 9.

[0036] Specifically, the water spray pipe 6 supports the casting, reducing the contact area with the casting and facilitating cooling, while increasing the contact area between the casting and water. Starting the water pump 9 draws water into the connecting box 10, which then flows into the water tank 8. The water tank 8 covers and is connected to the water spray pipe 6, allowing water to be sprayed outwards. The water pressure lifts the casting, causing it to tumble and facilitating cooling.

[0037] Workflow: First, fill water tank 1 with water, then place the casting inside water tank 1 for rapid cooling. When water tank 1 needs to be moved, first activate the electric telescopic rod 14. The electric telescopic rod 14 drives the gantry frame 12 and the traveling wheels 13 upwards, causing the traveling wheels 13 to move out of the support legs 2 and contact the ground. Continuing to move the traveling wheels 13 downwards raises water tank 1. Then, push water tank 1 to move it, facilitating movement by staff. After moving, retract the traveling wheels 13.

[0038] The support plate 5 can support the casting. After cooling, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is started to move the support plate 5 upward, which can move the casting out of the water, making it convenient for workers to take out the casting. The water pump 9 is started to pump water into the interior of the connecting box 10 and then into the interior of the water supply tank 8. The water supply tank 8 covers the water spray pipe 6 and is connected to the water spray pipe 6, so that water can be sprayed out through the water spray tank 6. The water pressure can lift the casting and make the casting roll, which is convenient for cooling the casting.

[0039] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
