[0002] Chinese utility model patent CN202320116746.3 discloses an adjustable metal ingot casting device, including a base, a lifting mechanism, a rotating platform mechanism, a casting table, and an ingot mold. The lifting mechanism is mounted on the base, and its top is connected to the bottom of the rotating platform mechanism. A rotating support is provided on the top of the rotating platform mechanism, and the casting table is fixed to the rotating support. The ingot mold is placed on the casting table. This device has a lifting function, maintaining an optimal distance between the ingot mold and the pouring nozzle to prevent molten metal from splashing, ensuring casting quality and safe production, and reducing molten metal waste. It also has a rotating function, shortening casting time, improving production efficiency, saving floor space, and shortening the flow path. However, this device cannot filter impurities in the molten metal. These impurities negatively impact metal matrix composites, such as reducing tensile strength, weakening wear resistance, causing product appearance or internal defects, leading to overall performance degradation or even scrapping.

The cylindrical rail is fixedly installed at the center of the casting table of the adjustable metal ingot casting device. The filter bracket includes a support frame, two side panels, a hook, and a handle. Two sets of support arms extend from both sides of the hook towards the center of the casting table. Each set of support arms has a hook at its end. The filter bracket is hung on the cylindrical rail via the hook. Three bullseye universal joints are provided on the inner side of the hook. The three bullseye universal joints abut against the outer wall, top end, and inner wall of the cylindrical rail, respectively.
[0006] Furthermore, the handle is provided with a connection hole, and the handle is connected to the fixed bracket of the adjustable metal ingot casting device via a pin.

[0024] Example 1:
[0025] See Figures 1 to 4 The filter mechanism of the adjustable metal ingot casting device in this embodiment includes a cylindrical rail 1, at least one filter bracket 2, and a filter 3 on the filter bracket. The cylindrical rail 1 is fixedly installed at the center of the casting table 5 of the adjustable metal ingot casting device. The filter bracket 2 includes a support frame 23, two side wall plates 232, a hook seat 231, and a handle 24. Two sets of support arms 22 extend from both sides of the hook seat 231 toward the center of the casting table. Each set of support arms 22 has a hook 21 at its end. The filter bracket 2 is hung on the cylindrical rail 1 through the hook 21. Three bullseye universal balls 211 are provided on the inner side of the hook 21. The three bullseye universal balls 211 abut against the outer wall, top and inner wall of the cylindrical rail 1, respectively.
[0026] In this embodiment, the main structure of the adjustable metal ingot casting device can be understood with reference to the technical content disclosed in patent CN219151517U, and will not be described again here. The filtration mechanism of this embodiment is specifically adapted to this adjustable metal ingot casting device.
[0027] See Figure 2 In this embodiment, the inner wall of the cylindrical rail 1 has three fixing feet 11 at its bottom, and each fixing foot 11 has a mounting hole. Correspondingly, a fixing hole is provided at the center of the casting platform 5, and the fixing hole can be a threaded hole. Bolts are inserted into the mounting holes of the fixing feet 11, and the bolts are threaded into the fixing holes, so that the cylindrical rail 1 is fixedly installed at the center of the casting platform 5. The height of the cylindrical rail 1 ensures that when the filter bracket 2 is hung on the cylindrical rail 1, the filter bracket 2 is located above the ingot mold 6 on the casting platform 5, without interfering with each other.
[0028] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The bottom of the filter holder 2 is provided with a support frame 23, which is a rectangular frame. Two side panels 232, a hook seat 231, and a retaining strip 233 are respectively provided on the four sides of the support frame 23. The hook seat 231 is a rectangular panel or rectangular frame plate, standing on the side of the support frame 23 near the hook 21. The two side panels 232 are right-angled triangular panels or right-angled triangular frame plates, with one right-angled side connected to the hook seat 231 and the other right-angled side connected to the support frame 23. The filter 3 is placed on the support frame from the retaining strip 233 side and positioned between the two side panels 232, the hook seat 231, and the retaining strip 233. A handle 24 is provided on the outer side of the retaining strip 233. Two sets of support arms 22 extend from both sides of the mounting base 231 toward the center of the pouring platform. There are four support arms 22, which are fixed at the four corners of the mounting base 231. Each set of support arms 22 has a hook 21 at its end. The filter bracket 2 is hung on the cylindrical pad rail 1 through the hook 21. Three bullseye universal balls 211 are provided on the inner side of the hook 21. The three bullseye universal balls 211 abut against the outer wall, top and inner wall of the cylindrical pad rail 1 respectively.
[0029] See Figure 5 Filter 3 is a filter box containing a filter screen for filtering impurities; the filter screen is a foam ceramic filter disc. Filter 3 utilizes existing technology and will not be described further here. The specific structure of the filter can be found in the filter box disclosed in patent application CN110666146A. Filter 3 can also use the molten metal filter disclosed in patent CN222885531U.
[0030] See Figure 1 , Figure 6The handle 24 is provided with a connection hole. The handle 24 is connected to the fixed bracket 7 of the adjustable metal ingot casting device through the pin 4, so that the filter bracket 2 and the filter 3 do not move with the rotation of the casting table, thereby using one filter to filter multiple cast metal matrix composite materials one by one.
[0031] In this embodiment, firstly, the filter holder 2 is held by the handle 24 and hung on the cylindrical rail 1. Then, the filter 3 is placed on the filter holder 2. Finally, the filter holder 2 is connected to the fixed bracket 7 by the pin 4. When the casting table 5 rotates, the three bullseye universal balls 211 of the hook 21 roll along the corresponding contact surfaces of the cylindrical rail 1. The filter bracket 2 moves relative to the cylindrical rail 1, and the ingot mold 6 rotates to the bottom of the filter bracket 2. The filter filters the cast metal matrix composite material, removing impurities.
[0032] Example 2:
[0033] The technical content of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1. It can be understood with reference to the content disclosed in Embodiment 1, and the content disclosed in Embodiment 1 should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this embodiment.
[0034] See Figure 7 In this embodiment, three sets of ingot molds 6 are fixed circumferentially on the pouring platform 5. Each set of ingot molds 6 is equipped with a filter bracket 2 and a filter 3. The filter bracket 2 is not connected to the fixed support 7. When the pouring platform 5 rotates, the filter bracket 2 and the filter 3 rotate synchronously with the pouring platform, thereby filtering the metal matrix composite material of the ingot in batches.
[0035] This invention adds a filtration device to the existing adjustable metal ingot casting device, which can effectively filter impurities in the preparation process of metal matrix composite materials and improve product quality.
[0036] This invention allows for the selection of appropriate numbers of filters for metal-based composite materials of different qualities. This avoids filter clogging that could lead to production interruptions and filter replacements, thus reducing production efficiency. It also effectively controls the number of filters used, reducing filter consumption and waste.
[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
