Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum product melting furnace technology, and in particular to an aluminum ingot feeding mechanism for an aluminum product melting furnace. Background Technology

[0002] In lighting fixture manufacturing, aluminum is the primary material for heat sinks due to its excellent thermal conductivity. Currently, standard aluminum ingots weighing approximately 10 kilograms and measuring 60 centimeters in length are commonly used as raw materials when processing aluminum heat sinks. These ingots need to be melted in a furnace.

[0003] However, the common practice when feeding aluminum ingots into the furnace is to directly throw large and heavy ingots into the furnace. This method not only easily causes impact during feeding, but also causes the aluminum ingots to partially melt at high temperatures after entering the furnace. Due to gravity, uneven heating, and other factors, the ingots will rotate, roll, and collide with each other. These semi-molten aluminum blocks, especially their edges, will continuously rub and impact the inner wall of the furnace, resulting in scratches, dents, or even perforations on the inner wall.

[0004] Based on this, in order to optimize the stability of aluminum ingot feeding, we propose an aluminum ingot feeding mechanism for aluminum product furnaces. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology, such as the continuous friction and impact of aluminum ingots on the inner wall of the furnace after entering the furnace, resulting in scratches on the inner wall. Therefore, an aluminum ingot feeding mechanism for aluminum product furnace is proposed.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] Design an aluminum ingot feeding mechanism for an aluminum product melting furnace, including a base installed above the melting furnace, a docking seat detachably connected above the base, and a clamping frame for placing aluminum ingots fixedly installed at the tail end of the docking seat, the clamping frame entering the interior of the melting furnace along the feeding port of the melting furnace;

[0008] The docking seat is also equipped with a pushing component, one end of which extends into the clamping frame for clamping aluminum ingots.

[0009] Furthermore, the base includes a base plate, two rear positioning plates formed on the base plate, and two front positioning plates, with the docking seat positioned between the two rear positioning plates and the two front positioning plates.

[0010] A slot is provided on the side of the rear positioning plate, and a connecting column that is rotatably connected to the slot is fixedly installed on the side of the docking seat.

[0011] Furthermore, a locking seat is fixedly installed on the end face of the front positioning plate, a locking rod is slidably connected inside the locking seat, and a spring is fixedly connected between the locking rod and the locking seat;

[0012] The docking seat has a fixed post fixedly installed on its side, and the outer side of the fixed post has a lock hole that is compatible with the locking rod for insertion.

[0013] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a sleeve rotatably connected inside the docking seat, one end of the sleeve extending to the outer side of the tail end of the docking seat, and a threaded rod threadedly connected inside the sleeve, one end of the threaded rod extending into the interior of the clamping frame.

[0014] Furthermore, a guide groove is provided on the outer side of the threaded rod along the axial direction, and a guide bolt is threadedly connected to the outer side of the mating seat, with the end of the guide bolt slidably connected in the guide groove.

[0015] Furthermore, a pad is fixedly installed inside the base, the pad is in contact with the bottom of the docking seat, and the base is detachably connected to the furnace by fasteners.

[0016] Furthermore, the clamping frame has a rectangular structure, and a wing plate is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping frame. The wing plate is fixedly connected to the docking seat by fasteners.

[0017] The present invention discloses an aluminum ingot feeding mechanism for an aluminum product melting furnace. The advantages of this mechanism are as follows: By using a docking seat to connect the clamping frame, the aluminum ingot can be filled into the clamping frame first, and then the pushing component clamps and fixes the aluminum ingot. When the docking seat is fixed on the base, the aluminum ingot is fed into the furnace for hot melting. After a certain period of time, the aluminum ingot becomes shorter due to melting, and the clamping of the pushing component can be unlocked. The remaining tail end of the aluminum ingot falls into the interior of the furnace, thus avoiding the situation where the aluminum ingot is too long and rotates and impacts in the pot, damaging the pot wall.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 In one embodiment of this utility model, an aluminum ingot feeding mechanism for an aluminum product melting furnace is disclosed. Specifically, the feeding mechanism includes a base 2 installed above the furnace 1. In this embodiment, a feeding pipe is provided above the furnace 1, and a feeding port 10 is provided on the feeding pipe. Of course, a material gate can also be rotatably connected to the feeding port 10 to close the feeding port 10 after feeding is completed. A docking seat 3 is detachably connected above the base 2. A clamping frame 4 for placing aluminum ingots is fixedly installed at the tail end of the docking seat 3. The clamping frame 4 enters the interior of the furnace 1 along the feeding port 10 of the furnace 1.

[0025] Inside the docking seat 3, a pushing component 5 is also provided, one end of which extends into the clamping frame 4 for clamping aluminum ingots.

[0026] In some embodiments, the base 2 of the present invention includes a base plate 20, two rear positioning plates 21 and two front positioning plates 22 formed on the base plate 20, and the docking seat 3 is placed between the two rear positioning plates 21 and the two front positioning plates 22. That is, in this embodiment, the base plate 20, the two rear positioning plates 21 and the two front positioning plates 22 constitute a U-shaped structural component, and the docking seat 3 is placed in the U-shaped structural component.

[0027] A slot 23 is provided on the side of the rear positioning plate 21, and a connecting column 31 that is rotatably connected to the slot 23 is fixedly installed on the side of the docking seat 3.

[0028] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, a locking seat 24 is also fixedly installed on the end face of the front positioning plate 22. A locking rod 25 is slidably connected inside the locking seat 24, and a spring 26 is fixedly connected between the locking rod 25 and the locking seat 24.

[0029] The docking seat 3 has a fixing post 32 fixedly installed on its side, and the outer side of the fixing post 32 has a locking hole that is compatible with the locking rod 25.

[0030] In other words, the docking seat 3 and the base 2 described in this embodiment are detachable and rotatably connected. When filling aluminum ingots, the locking rod 25 can be pulled to disengage its end from the locking hole of the fixing post 32. At this time, the entire docking seat 3 can be rotated by the cooperation of the connecting post 31 and the slot 23, so as to improve the convenience of filling aluminum ingots.

[0031] Of course, if it is necessary to remove the entire docking seat 3, first unlock the locking rod 25 mentioned above, then move the entire docking seat 3 to separate the connecting post 31 and the slot 23 on the docking seat 3, and then the entire docking seat 3 can be removed. The overall operation is simple and convenient, and two different filling methods can be used according to user needs.

[0032] After filling is completed, rotate the docking seat 3 so that the clamping frame 4 can rotate the aluminum ingot into the furnace 1 to achieve heating and melting.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pushing component 5 includes a sleeve 51 rotatably connected inside the docking seat 3. One end of the sleeve 51 extends to the outer side of the tail end of the docking seat 3, and a threaded rod 52 is threadedly connected inside the sleeve 51. One end of the threaded rod 52 extends into the interior of the clamping frame 4.

[0034] In addition, in order to lock the circumferential position of the threaded rod 52, a guide groove 53 is provided on the outer side of the threaded rod 52 along the axial direction in this embodiment, and a guide bolt 54 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the mating seat 3, with the end of the guide bolt 54 slidably connected in the guide groove 53.

[0035] In other words, when filling aluminum ingots, the aluminum ingots are first placed inside the clamping frame 4. At this time, the sleeve 51 can be rotated. Preferably, in this embodiment, a knob can be fixedly installed at the outer end of the sleeve 51 to drive the rotation of the sleeve 51.

[0036] When the sleeve 51 rotates, it will drive the threaded rod 52. However, since the threaded rod 52 is circumferentially limited by the guide groove 53 and the guide bolt 54, when the sleeve 51 rotates, the threaded rod 52 will move linearly until it moves into the inside of the clamping frame 4 and abuts against the filled aluminum ingot to complete the fixing of the aluminum ingot.

[0037] When the docking seat 3 flips and sends the aluminum ingot into the furnace 1, after a certain period of time, the aluminum ingot melts and its length becomes shorter. At this time, the clamping at the end of the threaded rod 52 can be loosened by rotating, and the remaining tail end of the aluminum ingot falls into the furnace 1. This avoids the aluminum ingot being too long and causing it to rotate and hit in the pot, damaging the pot wall.

[0038] In some embodiments, a pad 27 is fixedly installed inside the base 2 of the present invention. The pad 27 is in contact with the bottom of the docking seat 3. The base 2 is detachably connected to the furnace 1 by fasteners. Of course, the pad 27 in this embodiment can be set as a rubber pad, which is used to position the rotation and reset of the docking seat 3. Of course, the fastener in this embodiment is set as a bolt.

[0039] It should be noted that the clamping frame 4 in this embodiment has a rectangular structure. A wing plate 41 is fixedly installed on the side of the clamping frame 4. The wing plate 41 is fixedly connected to the docking seat 3 by fasteners. By using fasteners for fixing, the entire clamping frame 4 can be disassembled and replaced. Thus, when the clamping frame 4 is damaged, it can be easily replaced.

[0040] In summary, by using the docking seat 3 to connect the clamping frame 4, the aluminum ingot can be filled into the clamping frame 4 first, and then the pushing component 5 clamps and fixes the aluminum ingot. When the docking seat 3 is fixed on the base 2, the aluminum ingot is sent into the furnace 1 for hot melting. After a certain period of time, the aluminum ingot becomes shorter due to melting, and the clamping of the pushing component 5 can be unlocked. The remaining tail end of the aluminum ingot falls into the interior of the furnace 1, thus avoiding the situation where the aluminum ingot is too long and rotates and impacts in the pot, damaging the pot wall.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
