Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tin-based alloy processing technology, and in particular to a cooling device for tin-based alloy ingot processing. Background Technology
[0002] Chain casting machines are key equipment in the metallurgical industry for continuously casting molten metal into ingots. Traditional equipment generally uses flat molds supplemented by bottom spray cooling, resulting in a small effective contact area between the mold and the cooling medium, leading to increased thermal resistance and low heat exchange efficiency. This prolongs the solidification cycle of the ingot.
[0003] In the casting process of tin-based alloys, there are few molds per batch, and the existing spraying devices are basically installed vertically above the molds, which makes it difficult for the cooling medium to evenly cover the mold surface, easily causing uneven cooling of different parts of the ingot. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies where the spraying device is installed almost vertically above the mold, resulting in the cooling medium not being able to evenly cover the mold surface and causing uneven cooling of different parts of the ingot. Therefore, this invention proposes a cooling device for processing tin-based alloy ingots.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] Design a cooling device for tin-based alloy ingot processing, comprising a machine body, an extension frame on one side of the machine body, the extension frame being inclined, a chain belt mounted on the extension frame, a plurality of casting mold components mounted on the chain belt, a cooling water tank connected to one side of the machine body, the bottom end of the extension frame extending into the cooling water tank, an inlet pipe connected to one side of the cooling water tank, an outlet pipe connected to one side of the cooling water tank, a fixed frame above the cooling water tank, a spray assembly arranged inside the fixed frame, the spray assembly aligned with the extension frame, a water pump connected to the cooling water tank via a pipeline, a connecting pipe connected to the water pump, one end of the connecting pipe being connected to the spray assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the mold assembly is cylindrical.
[0008] Preferably, a plurality of water flow guide blocks are provided at the corners of the cooling water pool, and the plurality of water flow guide blocks are all located near the bottom end of the extension frame.
[0009] Preferably, the mold assembly is made of copper alloy material.
[0010] Preferably, the cooling water pool is connected to a shell on one side, and the shell is connected to its outlet pipe, and the water pump is fixedly installed above the shell.
[0011] Preferably, a filter plate is provided inside the cooling water tank, with one side of the filter plate facing the shell.
[0012] The cooling device for tin-based alloy ingot processing proposed in this utility model has the following advantages:
[0013] 1. The spray unit initially cools the mold assembly above the water surface in the cooling water tank; subsequently, as the chain drive continues to operate, the mold assembly will sequentially come into contact with the water in the cooling water tank for further cooling, thereby improving the cooling effect of the mold assembly and achieving the purpose of mass production.
[0014] 2. By using a chain drive to move the mold assembly within the cooling water tank, the heat generated during the cooling process of the mold assembly reaches the housing. The water pump draws water at a higher temperature, thereby increasing the temperature of the spray water and reducing adverse conditions that may occur during the spray cooling process of the mold assembly.
[0015] 3. The molding assembly is made into a cylindrical shape to increase the contact area between the molding assembly and the circulating water, thereby improving the cooling effect of the molding assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0020] 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.
[0021] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1-3A cooling device for tin-based alloy ingot processing includes a body 1, an extension frame 2 on one side of the body 1, the extension frame 2 being inclined, a chain belt 3 mounted on the extension frame 2, a plurality of casting mold components 4 mounted on the chain belt 3, a cooling water tank 5 connected to one side of the body 1, the bottom end of the extension frame 2 extending into the cooling water tank 5, an inlet pipe 6 connected to one side of the cooling water tank 5, an outlet pipe 8 connected to one side of the cooling water tank 5, a fixed frame 9 above the cooling water tank 5, a spray component 10 arranged inside the fixed frame 9, the spray component 10 being aligned with the extension frame 2, a water pump 11 connected to the cooling water tank 5 via a pipeline, a connecting pipe 12 connected to the water pump 11, one end of the connecting pipe 12 being connected to the spray component 10.
[0022] Usage process: After connecting the external water supply mechanism to the water inlet pipe 6, the cooling water tank 5 is in a water circulation state. The machine body 1 drives the chain belt 3 to work. During the process of the chain belt 3 transporting the mold assembly 4 from the machine body 1 to the cooling water tank 5 for cooling, the water pump 11 is started. The water pump 11 supplies water to the spray assembly 10 through the connecting pipe 12, so that the spray assembly 10 performs the initial cooling of the mold assembly 4 above the water surface of the cooling water tank 5. Subsequently, as the chain belt 3 continues to drive the mold assembly 4, the extension frame 2 is set in an inclined position, which allows the mold assembly 4 to come into contact with the water in the cooling water tank 5 in turn for cooling, thereby cooling the mold assembly 4 again, improving the cooling effect of the mold assembly 4, and achieving the purpose of mass production.
[0023] Example 2: An optimization based on Example 1, with reference to... Figure 1-3 The mold assembly 4 is cylindrical to increase the contact area between the mold assembly 4 and the circulating water; the mold assembly 4 is made of copper alloy material to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the mold assembly 4, thereby improving the cooling effect of the mold assembly 4.
[0024] Example 3: An optimization based on Example 1, with reference to... Figure 1-3 Several water flow guide blocks 13 are provided at the corners of the cooling water pool 5. The water flow guide blocks 13 are all located near the bottom of the extension frame 2, so that the water flow from the inlet pipe 6 can more easily impact some of the mold components 4 in the cooling water pool 5, thereby improving the cooling effect on the mold components 4.
[0025] Example 4: In Example 1, the water pump 11 is located near the inlet pipe 6, resulting in a lower water temperature. This causes the initial temperature of the cooling water used by the spray assembly 10 to be low. When the low-temperature droplets are sprayed onto the high-temperature mold assembly 4, it can easily cause adverse effects. Based on Example 1, optimizations are made, referring to... Figure 1-3A cooling water tank 5 is connected to a housing 7 on one side, and a water outlet pipe 8 is connected to the housing 7. A water pump 11 is fixedly installed above the housing 7. A filter plate 14 is installed inside the cooling water tank 5, with one side of the filter plate 14 facing the housing 7, making it difficult for impurities in the cooling water tank 5 to reach the housing 7. The mold assembly 4 is driven to move within the cooling water tank 5 by a chain belt 3, allowing the heat generated during the cooling process of the mold assembly 4 to reach the housing 7. The water pump 11 draws water at a higher temperature, thereby increasing the temperature of the spray water and reducing adverse conditions that may occur during the spray cooling process of the mold assembly 4.
[0026] 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.
