Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a device for cleaning residues from ingot molds used in ferroalloy casting. Background Technology
[0002] Ferroalloy casting is a crucial step in the steel industry, and the use of ingot molds is extremely important in its production process. After multiple ferroalloy castings, a large amount of residue will remain inside the ingot mold. If this residue is not cleaned in a timely and thorough manner, it will seriously affect the quality of subsequent ferroalloy products.
[0003] Ingot molds used in ferroalloy casting often have a certain depth to meet the production needs of products of different specifications. During the cleaning process, workers use conventional cleaning tools, such as shovels and brooms. However, due to the limitation of arm length, it is difficult to reach the bottom and deeper parts of the ingot mold. The residue in these parts may mix with new ferroalloy liquid during the subsequent ferroalloy pouring process, resulting in defects such as slag inclusions in the product, affecting product quality and increasing the defect rate.
[0004] In addition, during the ferroalloy casting process, the residues remaining on the inner wall of the ingot mold are prone to forming a hard adhesion layer due to high-temperature sintering (such as silicon manganese alloy residues, high-carbon ferrochrome scale, etc.). Conventional cleaning tools are not only limited by their length, but also lack the ability to fit at multiple angles, making it difficult to remove stubborn residues.
[0005] Currently, most automated cleaning equipment on the market adopts a rigid cleaning structure with a fixed angle. When facing complex curved surfaces such as the arc transition area and chamfer of the inner wall of the ingot mold, blind spots are likely to occur. In addition, the traditional telescopic mechanism relies on manual pushing and pulling, which has insufficient positioning accuracy, resulting in uneven contact pressure between the cleaning brush and the inner wall of the ingot mold, which may cause scratches or residue on the surface of the ingot mold. Utility Model Content

It can clean the inside of ingot molds at different depths, solving the problem that workers are limited by the length of their arms and cannot reach the bottom and deeper parts of the ingot mold for cleaning in the existing cleaning process.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A device for removing ingot mold residue from ferroalloy casting includes a base, a telescopic mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism.

[0015] Furthermore, a fourth servo motor is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting frame, and the output end of the fourth servo motor is connected to the screw drive.
[0016] Furthermore, the controller is electrically connected to the first servo motor, the second servo motor, the third servo motor, and the fourth servo motor via wires.

[0028] Example
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a device for removing ingot mold residue from ferroalloy casting, comprising a base 1, a telescopic mechanism 3, a lifting mechanism 4, and a cleaning mechanism 5. A pair of universal wheels 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom end of the base 1. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a lifting frame 401, the bottom end of which is connected to the upper surface of the base 1. Slide rods 402 are installed on both sides of the lifting frame 401, the bottom ends of which are connected to the upper end of the base 1. A movable frame 406 is slidably installed between the pair of slide rods 402. The telescopic mechanism 3 includes a sliding sleeve 302, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the movable frame 406. A telescopic rod 301 is slidably inserted inside the sliding sleeve 302. The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a connecting seat 501, one end of which is connected to one end of the telescopic rod 301. A motor seat 508 is rotatably connected inside the connecting seat 501. A first servo motor 502 is housed inside the motor seat 508, and a cleaning brush 503 is fitted onto the output end of the first servo motor 502.
[0030] The base 1 provides support for the entire ferroalloy casting ingot mold residue removal device. The casters 2 at the bottom facilitate the movement of the device, allowing it to flexibly reach the ingot mold position that needs cleaning. During the cleaning process, the operator can also use the casters 2 to change the position of the cleaning brush 503 to facilitate cleaning the inside of the ingot mold. The lifting frame 401 and slide bar 402 of the lifting mechanism 4 provide support and sliding track for the moving frame 406, making it easy to adjust the height of the cleaning mechanism 5 to meet the cleaning needs of ingot molds of different heights. It also makes it easier for the cleaning mechanism 5 to clean different positions inside the ingot mold. The sliding sleeve 302 and telescopic rod 301 of the telescopic mechanism 3 can further adjust the front and rear position of the cleaning mechanism 5 to facilitate cleaning ingot molds of different depths. The first servo motor 502 of the cleaning mechanism 5 drives the cleaning brush 503 to rotate, which can effectively clean the residue inside the ingot mold. Furthermore, by adjusting the angle of the cleaning brush 503, the cleaning effect on the corners inside the ingot mold can be further improved.
[0031] The telescopic mechanism 3 also includes a gear 307 and a rack 306. A movable cavity is provided on one side of the telescopic rod 301. The bottom end of the rack 306 is connected to the bottom end of the movable cavity. The gear 307 is located inside the movable cavity and meshes with the rack 306. The central shaft on one side of the gear 307 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the sliding sleeve 302. The gear 307 and the rack 306 of the telescopic mechanism 3 mesh with each other. The rotation of the gear 307 drives the rack 306 to move, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 301 in the sliding sleeve 302. The extension and retraction length of the telescopic rod 301 is controlled, which facilitates the cleaning mechanism 5 to clean the ingot molds of different depths.
[0032] A second servo motor 304 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding sleeve 302. The output end of the second servo motor 304 is connected to the gear 307 for transmission. The second servo motor 304 on one side of the sliding sleeve 302 provides power for the rotation of the gear 307, and can control the speed and direction of rotation of the gear 307, thereby controlling the extension speed and position of the telescopic rod 301, so that the cleaning mechanism 5 can reach the position that needs to be cleaned more accurately and improve the cleaning efficiency.
[0033] A handle 303 is fixedly installed on the upper side of one side of the sliding sleeve 302, and a controller 305 is fixedly installed on one side of the handle 303. The handle 303 on one side of the sliding sleeve 302 facilitates the operator's movement and operation of the device. The controller 305 on the handle 303 can centrally control the first servo motor 502, the second servo motor 304, the third servo motor 505 and the fourth servo motor 403, making operation more convenient and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.
[0034] The cleaning mechanism 5 also includes a transmission box 504, one side of which is connected to one side of the connecting seat 501. A worm gear 506 is rotatably connected inside the transmission box 504, and one side of the central shaft of the worm gear 506 is connected to one side of the central shaft of the motor seat 508.
[0035] Inside the transmission box 504, a worm 507 is rotatably connected to one side of the worm gear 506. The worm 507 and the worm gear 506 mesh with each other. A third servo motor 505 is fixedly installed on the bottom side of the transmission box 504. The output end of the third servo motor 505 is connected to the worm 507. The worm gear 506 and the worm 507 inside the transmission box 504 of the cleaning mechanism 5 mesh with each other. The third servo motor 505 drives the worm 507 to rotate. Through the transmission of the worm gear 506 and the worm 507, the motor base 508 is rotated, thereby adjusting the angle of the cleaning brush 503. This allows for the cleaning of residues at different angles of the ingot mold, improving the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the cleaning.
[0036] A receiving groove is provided on one side of the lifting frame 401, and a screw 404 is rotatably connected in the receiving groove. A slider 405 is threadedly connected to the screw 404, and one side of the slider 405 is fixedly connected to the movable frame 406.
[0037] A fourth servo motor 403 is fixedly installed at the top of the lifting frame 401. The output end of the fourth servo motor 403 is connected to the screw 404 for transmission. The screw 404 on one side of the lifting frame 401 is threadedly connected to the slider 405. The fourth servo motor 403 drives the screw 404 to rotate, which drives the slider 405 and the moving frame 406 to slide on the slide rod 402. The height of the moving frame 406 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the height of the cleaning mechanism 5 to meet the cleaning requirements of ingot molds of different heights and improve the accuracy and efficiency of cleaning.
[0038] The controller 305 is electrically connected to the first servo motor 502, the second servo motor 304, the third servo motor 505, and the fourth servo motor 403 via wires. The controller 305 is electrically connected to each servo motor via wires, realizing centralized control of the entire device. The operator can conveniently control the rotation of the cleaning brush 503, the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 301, the lifting and lowering of the moving frame 406, and the adjustment of the angle of the cleaning brush 503 through the controller 305.
[0039] Specifically, the working principle of this ferroalloy casting ingot mold residue removal device is as follows: First, the operator can move the device to the ingot mold position to be cleaned using the casters 2 at the bottom of the base 1. During the cleaning process, the position of the cleaning brush 503 can also be flexibly changed using the casters 2. Next, if it is necessary to adjust the height of the cleaning mechanism 5 to adapt to ingot molds of different heights or different positions inside the ingot mold, the controller 305 on the handle 303 can be operated to start the fourth servo motor 403. The fourth servo motor 403 drives the screw 404 in the receiving groove on one side of the lifting frame 401 to rotate. The slider 405 threaded on the screw 404 drives the moving frame 406 to slide on the slide rod 402, thereby adjusting the height of the cleaning mechanism 5. If it is necessary to adjust the front and rear position of the cleaning mechanism 5 to adapt to ingot molds of different depths, it can be adjusted using the controller. The controller 305 starts the second servo motor 304, which drives the gear 307 in the sliding sleeve 302 to rotate. The rack 306 meshing with the gear 307 moves accordingly, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 301 in the sliding sleeve 302 and changing the front and rear position of the cleaning mechanism 5. During cleaning, the controller 305 controls the first servo motor 502 to start, which drives the cleaning brush 503 to rotate and clean the residue in the ingot mold. If it is necessary to clean the residue at different angles of the ingot mold, the controller 305 can start the third servo motor 505. The third servo motor 505 drives the worm gear 507 in the transmission box 504 to rotate, and the worm wheel 506 meshing with the worm gear 507 drives the motor base 508 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the cleaning brush 503 and improving the comprehensiveness and effect of cleaning.
