Multiple pressing rods 2063 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the fixed block 2062. Connecting plates 2064 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer wall of the fixed block 2062. A push plate 2065 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the connecting plate 2064.

[0025] Specifically, in the furnace feeding device for aluminum alloy ingot production, the conveying mechanism 2 delivers the material to the designated position, the conveying bucket 202 on the fixed frame 201 stores the material, the electric push rod 203 controls the fixed frame 204 and the conveying pipe 205 to adjust the material output position and flow rate, the hydraulic component 206 performs material pretreatment, the hydraulic push rod 2061 drives the lower pressure rod 2063 to compact the material through the fixed block 2062, the push plate 2065 pushes the compacted material to the mold 5, the conveying mechanism 3 delivers the processed material to the subsequent station through the conveying shaft 304, and the sliding mechanism 4 ensures the stable sliding of each component and supports the entire feeding process.

[0027] Specifically, the movable frame 301 is slidably connected to the front of the support frame 1 via four corner rollers 302 at the bottom. The rollers 302 change from sliding to rolling to reduce resistance. Driven by an external drive device, the frame moves back and forth, realizing the horizontal displacement of the conveying shaft 304 for lateral material transport. In the adjustment assembly 305, one end of the electric push rod 3053 is connected to the movable frame 301, and the other end is connected to the middle of the adjustment plate 3052. Its extension and retraction drive the adjustment plate 3052 to rotate, and through the hinge point, the adjustment plate 3054 rotates synchronously, driving the connecting frame 3051 and the conveying shaft 304 to rotate, completing the angle adjustment and changing the material conveying direction or height.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding mechanism 4 includes a second fixed block 401, which is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the support frame 1. A slide rod 402 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the second fixed block 401. A connecting component 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod 402 on the adjacent side. The connecting component 403 includes a connecting frame 4031, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide rod 402 on the adjacent side.

Multiple springs 8 are fixedly connected to the front side of the inner wall of the fixed frame 201. Washers 9 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the springs 8.

[0029] Specifically, the sliding mechanism 4 is fixed to the front and rear sides of the support frame 1 by the fixing block 401, the slide rod 402 provides the sliding track, the connecting frame 4031 is connected to the slide rod 402 by the screw 4032, and the position and tightness of the connecting component 403 can be adjusted. The mold 5 is fixed and installed by the screws 7 around the heat insulation plate 6. The spring 8 in the fixing frame 201, together with the gasket 9, plays a role in buffering and shock absorption. Through the elastic deformation of the spring 8, the impact force is absorbed when the mold 5 slides or is subjected to force, avoiding rigid collisions and ensuring that the mold 5 remains stable during the sliding process. At the same time, the heat insulation plate 6 can also prevent the heat of the mold 5 from affecting other components.

[0030] Working principle: In the furnace feeding device for aluminum alloy ingot production, the various components work together to complete the feeding process. The conveying mechanism 2 is responsible for conveying the material to be processed to the designated position. The fixed frame 201 is fixed to the rear side of the support frame 1, and the conveying bucket 202 on it is used to store the material. The electric push rod 203 controls the fixed frame 204 through extension and retraction, thereby driving the conveying pipe 205 to slide at the bottom of the conveying bucket 202, which can adjust the position and flow rate of the material output. The hydraulic component 206 performs pre-processing of the material. The hydraulic push rod 2061 is fixed to the top of the support frame 1, and its output end drives the fixed block 1. Movement 2062 causes multiple pressing rods 2063 to press down, initially compacting the material. Simultaneously, connecting plate 2064 drives push plate 2065 to rotate, pushing the compacted material into mold 5. Conveying mechanism 3 can slide in front of support frame 1. After processing in mold 5, conveying mechanism 3, through horizontal displacement and angle adjustment of conveying shaft 304, transports the processed material to subsequent workstations. Sliding mechanism 4 ensures stable sliding of each sliding component on support frame 1, providing support and guidance for the entire feeding process, ensuring the orderly flow of material from conveying, processing to transmission.

[0031] The movable frame 301 is slidably connected to the front outer wall of the support frame 1 via rollers 302 at its four bottom corners. The rotational design of the rollers 302 converts sliding friction into rolling friction, significantly reducing resistance. The sliding of the movable frame 301 causes the rollers 302 to rotate, moving the movable frame 301 back and forth along the support frame 1. The sliding of the movable frame 301 allows for horizontal adjustment of the conveyor shaft 304, suitable for lateral material transport or switching between multiple workstations. Fixed to the bottom of the conveyor shaft 304, it serves as the basic support for the adjustment assembly 305. Connected sequentially via rotating joints, it forms the basic framework of a four-bar linkage. As a power source, one end is rotatably connected to the movable frame 301, and the other end is connected to the middle of the adjustment plate 3052. When the electric push rod 3053 extends or retracts, it pushes the adjustment plate 3052 to rotate around its connection point with the movable frame 301. The rotation of the first 3052 is transmitted to the second adjustment plate 3054 through the hinge point, causing it to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the second adjustment plate 3054 ultimately drives the connecting frame 3051 and the conveying shaft 304 to rotate around the fulcrum on the moving frame 301, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the conveying shaft 304. By adjusting the angle of the conveying shaft 304, the conveying direction or height of the material can be changed to adapt to different production unloading angle adjustments. The sliding of the moving frame 301 and the angle adjustment of the conveying shaft 304 can work independently and collaboratively. When the moving frame 301 is slid alone, the angle of the conveying shaft 304 remains unchanged, realizing translational conveying. When the angle of the conveying shaft 304 is adjusted alone, the position of the moving frame 301 is fixed, changing the conveying direction. Simultaneously controlling the sliding and angle can realize the material conveying of complex trajectories as the supporting foundation of the conveying shaft 304 and limit the lateral displacement of the material during the conveying process, ensuring the stability of the conveying.

[0032] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
