Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of ingot mold tilting device. Background Technology

[0002] The vast majority of ferroalloys are produced using pyrometallurgical processes. Except for products produced by aluminothermic, ferrotungsten, and vacuum solid-state decarburization processes, the pyrometallurgical processes for ferroalloys ultimately yield liquid ferroalloys. Besides granulation, casting is the most common method for transforming liquid ferroalloys into solid ferroalloys.

[0003] Shallow ingot molds allow alloys to solidify rapidly, preventing chemical segregation. They also increase the brittleness of tough alloys, which is beneficial for finishing and breaking into pieces. Therefore, using ingot molds for ferroalloys has become a commonly used method in the industry.

[0004] In the existing technology, multiple ingot molds are installed on an electric rail flatcar, which moves back and forth in front of the melting furnace to receive liquid ferroalloy. The solidified but not completely cooled alloy is then manually removed from the ingot mold. Therefore, this method of demolding has significant safety hazards and cannot adequately protect the lives of workers. Utility Model Content

[0005] To reduce safety hazards for workers during demolding, this application provides a mold tilting device.

[0006] The ingot mold tilting device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A mold tilting device includes an electric rail flatcar, a lifting mechanism, and a tilting mechanism. The tilting mechanism is mounted on the electric rail flatcar, and the lifting mechanism is mounted on one side of the electric rail flatcar. The lifting mechanism includes a hinge seat, a lifting cylinder, and an auxiliary support. The hinge seat is fixedly installed, and one end of the lifting cylinder is hinged to the hinge seat. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder extends and retracts towards the electric rail flatcar. The auxiliary support is installed between the electric rail flatcar and the hinge seat, supporting the middle part of the lifting cylinder. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder can push the tilting mechanism to tilt for demolding.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solutions, the coordinated use of the electric rail flatcar, lifting mechanism, and tilting mechanism realizes an automated demolding process, avoiding the safety hazards caused by manual operation and effectively ensuring the safety of workers. At the same time, the design of the lifting cylinder and auxiliary support ensures the stability and reliability of the lifting process, improves demolding efficiency, and reduces equipment wear.

[0009] In one specific implementation scheme, the tilting mechanism includes a tilting bracket, a support frame, and a tilting frame. The tilting bracket is installed on the upper end face of the electric rail flatcar away from the lifting mechanism. The support frame is installed on the upper end face of the electric rail flatcar adjacent to the lifting mechanism. One end of the lower end face of the tilting frame is hinged to the tilting bracket, and the other end of the tilting frame abuts against the upper end face of the support frame and can move away from the support frame. The ingot mold is installed inside the tilting frame.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the tilting mechanism, comprising a tilting bracket, a support frame, and a tilting frame, enables stable installation and rapid demolding of the ingot mold. One end of the tilting frame is hinged to the tilting bracket, and the other end abuts against the support frame. This structural design allows the tilting frame to smoothly detach from the support frame and tilt under external force, thereby achieving automatic demolding of the solid ferroalloy inside the ingot mold and avoiding safety hazards associated with manual operation. Simultaneously, the use of an electric railcar increases the automation level of the entire device, reduces manpower input, and improves production efficiency.

[0011] In one specific implementation scheme, a lifting rod is installed on the lower end face of the tilting frame located between the support frame and the lifting mechanism. The piston rod of the tilting cylinder can push the lifting rod to drive the tilting frame to rotate relative to the tilting bracket.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting rod is designed so that the piston rod of the tilting cylinder can act precisely on specific parts of the tilting frame, thereby achieving stable pushing of the tilting frame. Combined with the action of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder, the lifting rod can effectively transmit the thrust to the tilting frame, causing it to rotate relative to the tilting support, thus completing the demolding operation.

[0013] In one specific implementation, a lifting seat is installed at the end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder, and a U-shaped groove is provided on the lifting seat facing one end of the lifting rod, so that the lifting cylinder can be engaged in the U-shaped groove.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, a lifting seat is installed at the end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder, and a U-shaped groove is opened on the lifting seat, allowing the lifting cylinder to engage with the lifting rod through the U-shaped groove. This design effectively improves the connection stability between the lifting cylinder and the lifting rod, avoiding demolding failure caused by positional misalignment during the tilting of the side frame, thus ensuring the reliability of the demolding process. At the same time, the U-shaped groove design also facilitates quick installation and disassembly, improving the ease of operation of the equipment.

[0015] In one specific implementation scheme, the tilting bracket consists of two support rods and a tilting bearing seat. One end of the two support rods is mounted on the electric rail flatcar, and the two support rods are arranged in a V-shape. The distance between the two support rods gradually decreases from top to bottom. The tilting bearing seat is mounted on the upper end of the two support rods, and the tilting frame is hinged to the tilting bearing seat.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the side-tilting support consists of two V-shaped support rods and a side-tilting bearing seat, making the side-tilting support structure more stable. Simultaneously, the design of the two support rods gradually decreasing in distance from top to bottom improves the strength and stability of the side-tilting support, effectively preventing structural deformation or damage caused by uneven stress during the tilting process. The side-tilting frame is hinged to the side-tilting bearing seat, enabling smooth tilting of the side-tilting frame, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the demolding process.

[0017] In one specific implementation, the height of the support frame is level with the junction of the rollover frame and the rollover bracket, and the rollover frame is horizontally positioned when it abuts against the support frame.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the height of the support frame is level with the junction of the tilting frame and the tilting bracket, ensuring that the tilting frame remains horizontal when it abuts against the support frame. This design ensures that the liquid iron alloy is evenly distributed within the ingot mold during the process, avoiding problems such as alloy overflow or uneven solidification caused by the tilting frame, thereby improving product quality and reducing material waste.

[0019] In one specific implementation scheme, the side-tilting frame is equipped with fixing plates at both ends in the horizontal direction. The fixing plates are provided with waist-shaped grooves. The side-tilting frame is provided with sliding rods, which are slidably connected in the waist-shaped grooves. The fixing plates and the side-tilting frame are provided with threaded holes. When the ingot mold is fixed by the fixing plates, the bolts pass through the threaded holes provided in the fixing plates and the side-tilting frame.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the ingot mold is installed on the side-tilting frame, the bolts are unscrewed from the threaded holes on the fixing plate and the side-tilting frame, and the sliding rod is slidably connected in the waist-shaped groove, so that the two fixing plates move to opposite sides and the sliding rod slides in the waist-shaped groove. When it is necessary to fix the ingot mold, the two fixing plates move to the adjacent side. When the threaded holes on the fixing plate and the side-tilting frame correspond, the bolts are screwed into the two threaded holes to fix the ingot mold.

[0021] In one specific implementation scheme, a support base is installed on the upper end of the auxiliary bracket, and an inclined groove is provided on the support base corresponding to the lifting cylinder, and it is inclined upward from one end adjacent to the hinge seat towards the electric rail flat car end.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined groove design on the support base can effectively disperse the pressure generated during the operation of the lifting cylinder, avoiding structural damage caused by pressure concentration, thereby improving the overall stability of the device. At the same time, the inclined groove is set inclined upward from the end adjacent to the hinge seat towards the end of the electric rail flatcar, which can optimize the force transmission path, reduce the resistance during the pushing process of the lifting cylinder piston rod, and improve the smoothness and reliability of the tilting mechanism.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. By coordinating the electric rail flatcar with the lifting mechanism, the ingot mold can be automatically tilted and demolded, significantly reducing manual intervention, effectively reducing the operational risks for workers in high-temperature environments, and ensuring their safety.

[0025] 2. The design of lifting cylinder and tilting mechanism can accurately control the tilting process, improve demolding efficiency, and avoid the instability caused by human factors in traditional manual demolding methods;

[0026] 3. Combined with the support of the auxiliary bracket for the lifting cylinder, the stability and reliability of the entire device are ensured, meeting the needs of modern industry for efficient and automated production. Attached Figure Description

[0031] This application discloses a mold tilting device.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, the ingot mold side-tilting device includes an electric rail flatcar 1, a lifting mechanism 2, and a tilting mechanism 3. The tilting mechanism 3 is mounted on the electric rail flatcar 1, and the lifting mechanism 2 is mounted on one side of the electric rail flatcar 1. The lifting mechanism 2 and the tilting mechanism 3 work together to achieve the demolding action, achieving automated demolding and reducing manual risks. The specific principle lies in using mechanical transmission to replace manual operation and reducing direct contact in high-temperature environments.

[0033] As shown in the figure, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a hinge seat 21, a lifting cylinder 22, and an auxiliary support 23. The hinge seat 21 is fixedly installed at one end of the electric rail flatcar 1 in the direction of movement. One end of the lifting cylinder 22 is hinged to the hinge seat 21, with its piston rod extending towards the electric rail flatcar 1 to provide pushing force. The auxiliary support 23 is installed between the electric rail flatcar 1 and the hinge seat 21, supporting the middle part of the lifting cylinder 22 to ensure the stability of the lifting cylinder 22 during operation. The hinge seat 21 can be fixed to the electric rail flatcar 1 by welding or by bolt connection for quick assembly and disassembly. The lifting cylinder 22 can be replaced with a hydraulic cylinder or other forms of linear drive device to adapt to different working conditions.

[0034] The tilting mechanism 3 includes a tilting bracket, a support frame 32, and a tilting frame 33. The tilting bracket is installed on the upper end face of the electric rail flatcar 1 opposite to the lifting mechanism 2, and the support frame 32 is installed on the upper end face of the electric rail flatcar 1 adjacent to the lifting mechanism 2. One end of the lower end face of the tilting frame 33 is hinged to the tilting bracket, and the other end abuts against the upper end face of the support frame 32, and can move independently of the support frame 32. The mold is installed inside the tilting frame 33. The tilting bracket consists of two support rods 311 and a tilting bearing seat 312. One end of the two support rods 311 is installed on the electric rail flatcar 1 in a V-shape, and the distance between the two support rods 311 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The tilting bearing seat 312 is installed on the upper end of the two support rods 311, and the tilting frame 33 is hinged to the tilting bearing seat 312. The height of the support frame 32 is level with the junction of the tilting frame 33 and the tilting bracket, and the tilting frame 33 is horizontally positioned when it abuts against the support frame 32. This structural design ensures the stability of the side-tilting frame 33 in its initial state, while facilitating the smooth operation of the tilting mechanism.

[0035] Furthermore, a lifting rod 4 is installed on the lower end face of the tilting frame 33 located between the support frame 32 and the lifting mechanism 2. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 22 can push the lifting rod 4 to rotate the tilting frame 33 relative to the tilting bracket. A lifting seat 5 is installed at the end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 22. A U-shaped groove is opened on the lifting seat 5 facing the lifting rod 4. The lifting cylinder 22 can be engaged in the U-shaped groove to ensure the accuracy of thrust transmission. The lifting rod 4 can be made of high-strength steel, and its surface is heat-treated to improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance. At the same time, the length of the lifting rod 4 can be adjusted to accommodate tilting frames 33 of different sizes.

[0036] To further improve the fixing effect of the ingot mold, fixing plates 6 are installed at both ends of the side-tilting frame 33 in the horizontal direction. The fixing plates 6 have waist-shaped grooves 61, and the side-tilting frame 33 is equipped with sliding rods 331, which are slidably connected within the waist-shaped grooves 61. Threaded holes are provided on both the fixing plates 6 and the side-tilting frame 33. When fixing the ingot mold using the fixing plates 6, bolts pass through these threaded holes. This design not only allows for flexible adjustment of the fixing position but also enhances the fixing strength, preventing the ingot mold from loosening due to vibration during the process.

[0037] In this embodiment, a support base 7 is installed on the upper end of the auxiliary bracket 23. The support base 7 has an inclined groove corresponding to the lifting cylinder 22, and the inclined groove is inclined upward from one end of the adjacent hinge seat 21 toward the end of the electric rail flat car.

[0038] The implementation principle of the ingot mold side-tilting device in this application embodiment is as follows: An electric rail flatcar 1 serves as a carrying platform, responsible for transporting the tilting mechanism 3 to the smelting furnace or cooling area. During the demolding process, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 22 extends, pushing the lifting rod 4 to drive the side-tilting frame 33 to rotate relative to the side-tilting bracket, thereby achieving automatic side-tilting demolding of the ingot mold. The entire process requires no manual intervention, significantly reducing the operational risks in high-temperature environments and improving production safety. Simultaneously, the device has a compact structure and is easy to operate, effectively improving production efficiency and meeting the needs of modern industrial production.

[0039] 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.
