Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum ingot production technology, and in particular relates to an automatic release agent spraying equipment for an aluminum ingot production line. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum ingots, as a metallic product in the aluminum smelting process, are a common form of aluminum alloy products. Due to their excellent physical and chemical properties, they are widely used in many industrial fields. On the aluminum ingot production line, pouring molten aluminum into a forming mold for cooling and shaping is one of the key production steps. To ensure that the finished aluminum ingot can be smoothly removed from the mold and to avoid sticking and damage, a release agent is usually sprayed onto the mold surface before cooling and shaping.

[0003] Existing mold release agent spraying equipment plays an important role in the aluminum ingot production process. It can effectively and evenly spray mold release agent on the mold surface, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. However, the function of these devices is relatively simple, limited to spraying mold release agent, and cannot spray other substances that have a protective effect on the mold. Since the mold is subjected to harsh environments such as high temperature and corrosion during the production process, the damage to the mold surface will be more serious after long-term use, thus affecting its service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an automatic mold release agent spraying equipment for an aluminum ingot production line, aiming to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing mold release agent spraying equipment has a single function and cannot spray other substances that have a protective effect on the mold, resulting in the mold being easily damaged during long-term use and affecting its service life.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model is implemented as follows: an automatic release agent spraying device for an aluminum ingot production line, comprising: a base plate, a storage tank for storing release agent fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, and a mixing tank fixedly installed on the top of the storage tank; a water tank fixedly installed on the top of the base plate, a bracket fixedly installed on the water tank, a discharge pipe fixedly installed on the bracket, a solenoid valve installed on the discharge pipe, a hopper for discharging aluminum-titanium powder fixedly installed at the top of the discharge pipe, and the bottom end of the discharge pipe extending into the interior of the mixing tank; a first water pump fixedly installed on the top of the water tank, a suction pipe fixedly installed on the suction end of the first water pump, one end of the suction pipe extending into the interior of the water tank; a water outlet pipe fixedly installed on the discharge end of the first water pump, one end of the water outlet pipe extending into the interior of the mixing tank; a stirring mechanism installed on the mixing tank for mixing water and aluminum-titanium powder; and a liquid discharge mechanism assembled on the storage tank for spraying liquid onto the aluminum ingot production mold.

[0006] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes: a stirrer slidably mounted on the stirring tank; a U-shaped plate fixedly mounted on the top of the stirring tank, a motor fixedly mounted on the U-shaped plate, a reciprocating screw fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor, the bottom end of the reciprocating screw being rotatably connected to the U-shaped plate; and a slider threaded onto the reciprocating screw, one side of the slider being fixedly connected to the stirrer.

[0007] Preferably, the drainage mechanism includes: a second water pump fixedly installed on the top of the storage tank, a three-way pipe fixedly installed on the inlet end of the second water pump, and two ends of the three-way pipe extending into the storage tank and the stirring tank respectively; and two valves provided on the three-way pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the mixing tank is equipped with a level transmitter, the bottom of the base plate is fixedly installed with multiple casters, and a handrail is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank.

[0009] Preferably, both the storage tank and the water tank have a feeding port on their tops, and both feeding ports are covered.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the discharge end of the second water pump, and the connecting pipe is configured as L-shaped.

[0011] Compared with related technologies, the automatic release agent spraying equipment for aluminum ingot production lines provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the automatic release agent spraying equipment for aluminum ingot production lines provided in this solution, through the coordinated use of a first water pump, a water intake pipe, and a water outlet pipe, allows users to easily inject a portion of the water from the water tank into the mixing tank. Through the coordinated use of the discharge pipe, solenoid valve, and hopper, users can easily add the required aluminum-titanium powder to the mixing tank. The stirring mechanism thoroughly mixes the water and aluminum-titanium powder entering the mixing tank to obtain the appropriate mold protective liquid. The discharge mechanism not only sprays the protective liquid but also sprays the release agent stored in the storage tank. The spraying of the protective liquid and the release agent can be carried out separately. This allows for the first spraying of the protective liquid onto the aluminum ingot forming mold, followed by the spraying of the release agent. Because aluminum-titanium powder has excellent resistance to strong acids and alkalis, boiling water, and high temperatures, it greatly enhances the protective effect of the release agent on the mold. This ensures that the formed aluminum block can be smoothly removed from the mold and reduces damage to the mold caused by high temperatures, corrosion, and other harsh environments, thus improving the mold's service life and achieving better results.

[0019] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0020] This utility model provides an automatic release agent spraying device for an aluminum ingot production line, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, the automatic release agent spraying equipment for the aluminum ingot production line includes: a base plate 1, a storage tank 2 for storing release agent fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, and a mixing tank 7 fixedly installed on the top of the storage tank 2; a water tank 3 fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, a bracket 4 fixedly installed on the water tank 3, a discharge pipe 5 fixedly installed on the bracket 4, a solenoid valve installed on the discharge pipe 5, a hopper 6 for discharging aluminum-titanium powder fixedly installed at the top of the discharge pipe 5, and the bottom end of the discharge pipe 5 extending into the interior of the mixing tank 7; a first water pump 8 fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 3, a suction pipe 9 fixedly installed on the suction end of the first water pump 8, and one end of the suction pipe 9 extending into the interior of the water tank 3; a water outlet pipe 10 fixedly installed on the discharge end of the first water pump 8, and one end of the water outlet pipe 10 extending into the interior of the mixing tank 7; a stirring mechanism installed on the mixing tank 7 for mixing water and aluminum-titanium powder; and a liquid discharge mechanism assembled on the storage tank 2 for spraying liquid onto the aluminum ingot production mold.

[0021] In this embodiment, when using the device, it is necessary to pour release agent into storage tank 2, inject water into water tank 3, and add aluminum-titanium powder into hopper 6. Then, the first water pump 8 is started, allowing it to inject an appropriate amount of water into mixing tank 7 through water suction pipe 9 and water outlet pipe 10. When the level transmitter 19 measures that the water output reaches the standard, the first water pump 8 stops working, and then the solenoid valve is opened, allowing the aluminum-titanium powder in hopper 6 to be discharged from discharge pipe 5 into mixing tank 7. As the amount of aluminum-titanium powder increases, the liquid level in mixing tank 7 will also rise accordingly. When the level transmitter 19 detects that the water level has reached a suitable position due to the increase of aluminum-titanium powder, the solenoid valve is closed, stopping the addition of aluminum-titanium powder. Then, the stirring mechanism can be used to regulate the water entering mixing tank 7. After the aluminum-titanium powder is thoroughly stirred, a mold protective liquid can be obtained after a period of time. Once the mixture is complete, the equipment can be pushed to the aluminum ingot forming mold. Then, the existing spray pipe is connected to the drainage mechanism via a hose. The drainage mechanism is then activated to evenly spray the mold protective liquid in the mixing tank 7 onto the mold surface. After spraying, the mold release agent in the storage tank 2 can be sprayed onto the mold surface again using the drainage mechanism. Because aluminum-titanium powder has excellent resistance to strong acids and alkalis, boiling water, and high temperatures, the protective effect of the mold release agent on the mold can be greatly improved. This allows the formed aluminum block to be easily removed from the mold and reduces damage to the mold caused by harsh environments such as high temperatures and corrosion, thus improving the service life of the mold and achieving good results.

[0022] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the stirring mechanism includes: a stirrer 11 slidably mounted on the stirring tank 7; a U-shaped plate 12 fixedly mounted on the top of the stirring tank 7, a motor 13 fixedly mounted on the U-shaped plate 12, a reciprocating screw 14 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 13, the bottom end of the reciprocating screw 14 being rotatably connected to the U-shaped plate 12; and a slider 15 threadedly mounted on the reciprocating screw 14, one side of the slider 15 being fixedly connected to the stirrer 11.

[0023] In this embodiment, the stirring mechanism is used to mix water and aluminum-titanium powder. When in use, the stirrer 11 and the motor 13 are started. The stirring shaft of the stirrer 11 is slidably connected to the mixing tank 7. A stirring blade is installed at the bottom of the stirring shaft. When the stirrer 11 is running, the stirring blade will stir and mix the water and aluminum-titanium powder in the mixing tank 7. Under the use of the motor 13, the reciprocating screw 14 can be driven to rotate. The reciprocating screw 14 will drive the slider 15 to move up and down reciprocally. The slider 15 will drive the stirrer 11 to move up and down reciprocally. Thus, the stirrer 11 can improve the mixing effect of water and aluminum-titanium powder by continuously moving up and down, so that the mixing of water and aluminum-titanium powder is more uniform.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drainage mechanism includes: a second water pump 16 fixedly installed on the top of the storage tank 2, a three-way pipe 17 fixedly installed on the inlet end of the second water pump 16, and two ends of the three-way pipe 17 extending into the storage tank 2 and the stirring tank 7 respectively; and two valves 18 disposed on the three-way pipe 17.

[0025] In this embodiment, the drainage mechanism is used to spray liquid. In use, the existing spray pipe can be connected to the drainage end of the second water pump 16 using a suitable hose. After connection, if a protective liquid consisting of water and aluminum-titanium powder is to be sprayed into the forming mold of aluminum ingot, the valve 18 near the mixing tank 7 is opened first, and then the second water pump 16 is started. This allows the second water pump 16 to spray the protective liquid in the mixing tank 7 out through the three-way pipe 17. If a release agent is to be sprayed into the forming mold of aluminum ingot, the valve 18 near the mixing tank 7 needs to be closed, and then another valve 18 needs to be opened so that the second water pump 16 can spray the release agent in the storage tank 2 out through the three-way pipe 17. The operation is relatively simple.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a level transmitter 19 is provided on the mixing tank 7, a plurality of casters are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 1, and a handrail is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 3.

[0027] In this embodiment, the water level in the mixing tank 7 can be monitored by using the level transmitter 19, so as to carry out the mixing of water and aluminum-titanium powder. The use of multiple casters and handrails makes it convenient for users to move the equipment.

[0028] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the storage tank 2 and the water tank 3 are provided with a feeding port on their tops, and both feeding ports are provided with a cover.

[0029] In this embodiment, the use of two feeding ports not only facilitates the inspection of the storage tank 2 and the water tank 3, but also makes it convenient to add release agent to the storage tank 2 and water to the water tank 3.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the discharge end of the second water pump 16, and the connecting pipe is configured as L-shaped.

[0031] In this embodiment, the L-shaped connecting pipe allows personnel to easily connect the discharge end of the second water pump 16 to the spray pipe used for spraying liquid using a flexible hose.

[0032] In summary, compared with related technologies, this solution, through the coordinated use of the first water pump 8, the water suction pipe 9, and the water discharge pipe 10, allows the user to conveniently inject a portion of the water from the water tank 3 into the mixing tank 7. Through the coordinated use of the discharge pipe 5, the solenoid valve, and the hopper 6, the user can conveniently add the required aluminum-titanium powder to the mixing tank 7. The stirring mechanism ensures thorough mixing of the water and aluminum-titanium powder entering the mixing tank 7 to obtain the appropriate mold protective fluid. Furthermore, the drainage mechanism not only ensures the proper functioning of the protective fluid... The protective liquid can also be sprayed onto the mold release agent stored in storage tank 2. The spraying of the protective liquid and the mold release agent can be carried out separately. This way, the protective liquid can be sprayed onto the forming mold of the aluminum ingot first, and then the mold release agent can be sprayed. Since aluminum titanium powder has excellent resistance to strong acids and alkalis, boiling water and high temperature, it can greatly improve the protective effect of the mold release agent on the mold. It can not only make the formed aluminum block easy to remove from the mold, but also reduce the damage to the mold caused by harsh environments such as high temperature and corrosion, which is conducive to improving the service life of the mold and has a good effect.

[0033] It should be understood, in the several embodiments provided in this application, that the disclosed apparatus may be implemented in other ways.
