Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of metal continuous casting equipment, and more particularly to a metal composite casting machine. Background Technology
[0002] A wheel-type continuous casting machine is a device used for directly casting metals after smelting. It represents a significant development in continuous casting technology, enabling the direct casting of molten metal (copper, aluminum, or steel) into semi-finished products during a continuous casting process. The furnace is used to melt metals; after copper ingots, aluminum rods, or other metals are added and heated to melt them into liquid metal, it then enters the continuous casting machine for casting.
[0003] In practical applications, especially when the metal bar has an irregular shape or a certain degree of fluidity, jamming or displacement often occurs, affecting production efficiency and product quality. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To prevent bar stock jamming and improve production efficiency, this application provides a metal composite casting machine.
[0005] This application provides a metal composite casting machine, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A metal composite casting machine includes a casting machine body, a furnace, and a feeding device, wherein the feeding device includes:
[0007] A feeding hopper, the bottom of which is provided with a discharge port, which is connected to the input end of the furnace;
[0008] The first distribution plate is disposed inside the feed hopper and has at least one first distribution port for the bar stock to pass through;
[0009] The second dispensing disc is rotatably mounted on the first dispensing disc and has at least one second dispensing port for bar stock to pass through; and
[0010] A drive component is used to drive the second dispensing disc to rotate.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the bar stock is fed into the feed hopper, it accumulates in the feed hopper above the first and second distribution plates. The second distribution plate is driven to rotate by the drive component. When the second distribution port on the second distribution plate coincides with the first distribution port on the first distribution plate, the bar stock can gradually pass through the first and second distribution ports and be discharged from the outlet, entering the furnace to be heated and melted into liquid metal. When the second distribution port is misaligned with the first distribution port, the first and second distribution plates are closed, and the bar stock stops falling downwards, preventing the bar stock from falling too fast and causing blockage at the outlet, thus ensuring uniform bar stock discharge and improving production efficiency.
[0012] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a rotating shaft, a drive shaft, and a drive motor. The rotating shaft is rotatably disposed within the first material distribution plate, and the top end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the second material distribution plate. The drive shaft is rotatably disposed within the feed hopper, and the drive shaft is offset from the first material distribution port. The drive motor is fixedly disposed on the side wall of the feed hopper, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft and the rotating shaft are connected by a transmission assembly.
[0013] Optionally, the first distributing disc is slidably disposed in the feed hopper in a vertical direction, and a buffer assembly is disposed in the feed hopper and connected to the first distributing disc; a connecting shaft is slidably disposed in the rotating shaft and is connected to the drive shaft for transmission.
[0014] Optionally, a sliding groove is formed inside the rotating shaft along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and a keyway is formed inside the sliding groove along the axial direction of the rotating shaft. A protrusion that is slidably connected to the keyway is fixedly provided on the transmission shaft.
[0015] Optionally, the buffer assembly includes a fixed tube, a movable rod, and a compression spring. The fixed tube is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the feed hopper, the movable rod is slidably disposed inside the fixed tube, and the compression spring is disposed inside the fixed tube, with one end of the compression spring fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the fixed tube and the other end fixedly connected to the movable rod.
[0016] Optionally, a conical platform is provided in the middle of the second distribution plate.
[0017] Optionally, a pusher plate is fixedly provided on the second dispensing tray, and the pusher plate is arranged radially along the second dispensing tray.
[0018] Optionally, a movable door is slidably provided at the discharge port of the feed hopper in the vertical direction, and a drive component is provided on the feed hopper for driving the movable door to rise and fall.
[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0020] After the bar stock is fed into the feed hopper, it accumulates in the feed hopper above the first and second distribution plates. The second distribution plate is driven to rotate by the drive assembly. When the second distribution port on the second distribution plate coincides with the first distribution port on the first distribution plate, the bar stock can gradually pass through the first and second distribution ports and be discharged from the outlet, entering the furnace to be heated and melted into liquid metal. When the second distribution port is misaligned with the first distribution port, the first and second distribution plates are closed, and the bar stock stops falling downwards, preventing the bar stock from falling too fast and causing blockage at the outlet, thus ensuring uniform bar stock discharge and improving production efficiency.

[0033] This application discloses a metal composite casting machine.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A metal composite casting machine includes a casting machine body 1, a furnace 2, and a feeding device. The feeding device includes a frame 31 and a feeding hopper 32. The feeding hopper 32 is fixedly mounted on the frame 31, and a discharge port 3211 is provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper 32, which is connected to the input end of the furnace 2. The feeding hopper 32 includes a conical section 322 and a cylindrical section 321 that are connected to each other. The cylindrical section 321 has a circular cross-section. A certain amount of bar stock is temporarily stored in the feeding hopper 32, and then gradually enters the furnace 2 for heating and melting into liquid metal, which then enters the casting machine body 1 to complete the die casting operation. The specific structures of the casting machine body 1 and the furnace 2 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0035] Reference Figure 2A movable door 41 is slidably installed vertically at the discharge port 3211 of the feed hopper 32. A driving component for raising and lowering the movable door 41 is provided on the feed hopper 32. The driving component is a lifting cylinder 42, which is vertically fixed on the cylindrical section 321 of the feed hopper 32. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to the movable door 41, which is an arc-shaped plate that fits against the feed hopper 32. The discharge port 3211 is located on the side wall of the cylindrical section 321. Furthermore, the bottom of the feed hopper 32 has an inclined surface that slopes downwards towards the discharge port 3211, facilitating the rolling of the bar stock to the discharge port 3211.
[0036] Optional, refer to Figures 3-5 The feed hopper 32 is equipped with a first distribution plate 51 and a second distribution plate 52. The first distribution plate 51 is located inside the feed hopper 32 and has at least one first distribution port 511 for the bar stock to pass through. In this embodiment, two first distribution ports 511 are symmetrically arranged. The first distribution plate 51 and the second distribution plate 52 are located inside the cylindrical section 321, and the diameters of the first distribution plate 51 and the second distribution plate 52 are slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical section 321. In order to improve the structural strength of the first distribution plate 51 and the second distribution plate 52 and prevent deformation, both the first distribution plate 51 and the second distribution plate 52 are made of metal.
[0037] The second distribution plate 52 is rotatably mounted on the first distribution plate 51 and has at least one second distribution port 521 through which the bar stock passes. Two second distribution ports 521 are symmetrically arranged. The second distribution plate 52 can completely close the first distribution port 511. When the first distribution port 511 and the second distribution port 521 coincide, the bar stock can smoothly pass through the first distribution port 511 and the second distribution port 521 and fall downward.
[0038] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to facilitate the smooth entry of the bar stock into the second distribution port 521, a conical platform 522 is provided in the middle of the second distribution plate 52. The top of the conical platform 522 is a pointed tip and the side wall is an inclined surface, which makes it easier for the bar stock in the middle to roll towards the edge of the second distribution plate 52 so as to enter the second distribution port 521.
[0039] To prevent excessive accumulation of bar stock that could affect flowability, a pusher plate 523 is fixedly installed on the second distribution plate 52. The pusher plate 523 is arranged radially along the second distribution plate 52, and is located on the top of the first distribution plate 51 near the second distribution port 521, at the front end of the second distribution plate 52 in the direction of rotation. The pusher plate 523 protrudes from the top wall of the second distribution plate 52, and during rotation, it can push the bar stock to move, preventing the bar stock from jamming and making the material drop more even.
[0040] Reference Figure 5A drive assembly 6 is provided on the feed hopper 32 to drive the second distribution plate 52 to rotate. The drive assembly 6 includes a rotating shaft 61, a drive shaft 62, and a drive motor 63. The rotating shaft 61 is rotatably inserted into the first distribution plate 51, and the top end of the rotating shaft 61 is fixedly connected to the second distribution plate 52. The drive shaft 62 is rotatably disposed in the feed hopper 32, and the drive shaft 62 is offset from the first distribution port 511, so that the first distribution plate 51 can protect the drive shaft 62 and prevent the bar material falling from the first distribution port 511 from hitting the drive shaft 62 and damaging the drive shaft 62.
[0041] The drive motor 63 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the feed hopper 32, and the output shaft of the drive motor 63 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 62.
[0042] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 A connecting shaft 611 is slidably inserted inside the rotating shaft 61, and the connecting shaft 611 is connected to the drive shaft 62 for transmission. A sliding groove 612 is formed inside the rotating shaft 61 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 61, and a keyway 613 is formed inside the sliding groove 612 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 61. A protrusion 6111 that is slidably connected to the keyway 613 is fixedly provided on the drive shaft.
[0043] The drive shaft 62 and the rotating shaft 61 are connected by a transmission assembly, which includes a first bevel gear 71 and a second bevel gear 72. The first bevel gear 71 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 62, and the second bevel gear 72 is fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft 611. The first bevel gear 71 and the second bevel gear 72 mesh with each other. A bracket 325 is fixedly mounted inside the feed hopper 32, and the drive shaft 62 and the connecting shaft 611 are rotatably mounted on the bracket 325.
[0044] Optional, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The first distribution plate 51 is slidably disposed vertically within the feed hopper 32. A buffer assembly 8 is disposed within the feed hopper 32. Multiple buffer assemblies 8 are provided; in this embodiment, four sets of buffer assemblies 8 are spaced apart. The buffer assemblies 8 are connected to the first distribution plate 51. The buffer assembly 8 includes a fixed tube 81, a movable rod 82, and a compression spring 83. The fixed tube 81 is fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the feed hopper 32. The movable rod 82 slidably passes through the fixed tube 81 and is adapted to the fixed tube 81. The top of the movable rod 82 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the first distribution plate 51. The compression spring 83 is disposed within the fixed tube 81, with one end fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the fixed tube 81 and the other end fixedly connected to the movable rod 82.
[0045] Because of the large mass of the bar stock, a large amount of bar stock impacts the first and second distribution discs 51 and 52 during the process of being poured into the feed hopper 32. The buffer assembly 8 acts as a buffer, reducing damage to the first and second distribution discs 51 and 52 and improving their service life. The fixed tube 81 and the movable rod 82 act as guides to prevent the first distribution disc 51 from tilting during its up-and-down movement.
[0046] In this embodiment of the application, a fixing block 323 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the feed hopper 32, a fixing pipe 81 is fixedly provided on the fixing block 323, and a reinforcing rib 324 is fixedly provided between the fixing block 323 and the side wall of the feed hopper 32.
[0047] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
