Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy processing technology, specifically to an ingot transfer device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of aluminum alloy processing technology, ingot transfer devices need to balance stability, dimensional adaptability, and ease of operation. Existing technologies for ingot transfer mostly employ platform-type limiting or single-gauge structures, which have significant shortcomings in practical applications.

[0003] For example, patent CN221419300U discloses an ingot storage and transfer device, which limits the ingot by using limiting steel columns and dividing crossbars. However, this structure adopts a fixed grid design, which cannot adapt to ingots of different diameters. Moreover, the dividing crossbars can only move along the axial direction of the limiting steel columns. During the transfer process, the ingot is prone to swaying due to inertia, resulting in unstable fixation. Another example is patent CN209322299U, which discloses a round ingot lifting tool. It uses saw-shaped anti-slip teeth and a detachable lifting head to lift the ingot. However, the size of the lifting head needs to be matched with the ingot diameter in advance, making the replacement operation cumbersome. In addition, it can only support the ingot through a single hole, which is insufficient for supporting large-diameter ingots and poses a risk of uneven force during lifting.

[0004] The core defects of the aforementioned existing technologies are as follows: on the one hand, the fixed structure of traditional transfer devices is mostly rigid and cannot automatically adjust the fit according to the size of the ingot, which makes it easy for small-diameter ingots to sway in the fixed grid, while large-diameter ingots are difficult to load; on the other hand, the existing lifting or platform structure cannot restrict the displacement of the ingot in three dimensions. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an ingot transfer device to solve the technical problems of existing ingot transfer devices, such as inability to adapt to ingots of different diameters due to rigid limiting, insecure fixing, and easy detachment of connections.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an ingot transfer device, comprising multiple integrally formed fixed first rings and fixed second rings, wherein the fixed second rings are connected to one end of the fixed first ring, the other end of the fixed first ring is provided with multiple connection ports, the end of the fixed first ring connected to the fixed second ring is provided with a notch, the multiple fixed first rings are connected to the ends of the fixed second rings, the multiple fixed second rings are respectively located at the notches relative to the fixed first ring, and a support rod is connected to the middle of the fixed first ring.

[0007] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A circular ingot is placed on multiple transfer devices. Multiple fixed rings first contact the circular ingot. At this time, the fixed rings rotate relative to each other and adhere to the circular ingot under the action of the weight of the circular ingot. This causes the fixed ring to rotate relative to each other and fix the circular ingot. When the fixed rings are close to the circular ingot, the lifting device is connected to the connection port of the fixed ring for transfer. During the transfer process, due to the combined action of the weight of the circular ingot and the upward pulling force, the fixed rings will always be close to the circular ingot. Even if there is shaking in the air, the fixed rings can always stay close to the circular ingot.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the linkage design of the first and second fixed rings, this utility model can automatically rotate and fit against the outer circumference of the ingot under the action of gravity, forming a ring-like fixation. This solves the problem that rigid limiting in the prior art cannot adapt to ingots of different diameters, thus improving the fixation stability. The multiple connection ports can be adapted to different lifting hook layouts, ensuring uniform force during lifting and preventing ingot tilting. The notch and the position of the second fixed ring match to form an elastic clamping force during rotation and fitting, further enhancing the three-dimensional limiting effect on the ingot and effectively limiting inertial swaying during transportation. The support rod connects to the middle of the first fixed ring, which can enhance the overall structural rigidity, prevent the fixed ring from deforming under force, and provide a support base for the rotation of the fixed ring, ensuring the reliability of the fitting action.

[0009] Furthermore, the curvature of the first and second fixing rings extends in the same direction. This unidirectional curvature design ensures that the fixing rings experience consistent force during rotation and engagement, creating a stable clamping torque and enhancing the tightness of the ingot's enclosure.

[0010] Furthermore, the centripetal points of the multiple fixed rings are at the same location, and the centripetal points of the multiple fixed second rings are also at the same location. This centripetal distribution design of the multiple fixed rings and second rings ensures that the ingot receives a uniform circumferential force, making it particularly suitable for transporting large-diameter ingots and preventing tilting or detachment due to uneven force. This structure can automatically center the ingot through a symmetrical layout, reducing the number of position adjustment steps during installation and improving operational convenience.

[0011] Furthermore, both the first and second fixing rings have anti-slip protrusions on their inner sidewalls, arranged in a ring array. This ring array of anti-slip protrusions increases the coefficient of friction between the fixing rings and the ingot surface, using a physical structure to hinder ingot slippage, and further enhances the anti-slip effect in conjunction with gravity.

[0012] Furthermore, the support rod is a telescopic structure with an adjustable length. This telescopic structure allows the support rod to adjust its length according to the ingot diameter, thereby adjusting the opening angle of the first and second fixed rings. This enables adaptive fitting to ingots of different sizes, enhancing the versatility of the device.

[0013] Furthermore, an anti-detachment flange is provided on the inner side of the connection port, and the anti-detachment flange is distributed in a ring along the edge of the connection port. The anti-detachment flange distributed in a ring along the edge of the connection port can form a mechanical stop structure to prevent the hook of the lifting device from detaching from the connection port due to shaking during transportation.

[0017] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: fixing ring 1, connection port 101, notch 102, connector 2, and fixing ring 3. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0019] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3 As shown: A casting ingot transfer device includes two integrally formed fixed ring 1 and fixed ring 3. The fixed ring 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed ring 1. The arcs of the fixed ring 1 and the fixed ring 3 extend in the same direction. The top of the fixed ring 1 is provided with three connection ports 101, and the bottom of the fixed ring 1 is provided with a notch 102. The bottom ends of the two fixed rings 1 are rotatably connected by a connector 2, which is cylindrical. The two fixed rings 3 are respectively located at the notch 102 of the fixed ring 1. The centripetal points of the two fixed rings 1 and the two fixed rings 3 are at the same point. The inner sidewalls of the fixed ring 1 and the fixed ring 3 are provided with anti-slip protrusions, which are distributed in a ring array. A support rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed ring 1. The support rod is a telescopic hollow tube structure. A threaded adjustment rod is provided inside the support rod. The two ends of the threaded adjustment rod are threadedly connected to the middle of the fixed ring 1 and the end of the support rod, respectively.

[0020] The specific implementation process is as follows: Two integrally formed fixing rings 1 are rotatably connected by cylindrical connectors 2, so that fixing rings 3 are respectively located at the notches 102 of the fixing rings 1 and 1. The threaded adjusting rod inside the support rod is adjusted so that the length of the support rod is adapted to the diameter of the ingot to be transported. The circular ingot is placed above the fixing rings 3. Under the action of the ingot's gravity, the fixing rings 3 drive the fixing rings 1 to rotate relative to each other, so that the anti-slip protrusions on the inner sidewalls of the fixing rings 1 and 3 are in contact with the outer circumference of the ingot. At this time, the centripetal points of the two fixing rings 1 and the two fixing rings 3 converge at the center of the ingot. The hook of the lifting device is inserted into the connection port 101 at the top of the fixing ring 1. The anti-detachment flange on the inner side of the connection port 101 prevents the hook from detaching. After confirming that the fixing rings are tightly fitted, the lifting device is started to lift the ingot. During the transportation process, the weight and tension of the ingot make the fixing rings continuously hold the ingot tightly, thus completing the transportation.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
