Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of molten aluminum, specifically to a molten aluminum transfer device. Background Technology
[0002] During the transfer of molten aluminum alloy, it is necessary to store the molten aluminum alloy through a transfer device and then transport it to the required delivery site. However, since the manufacturing and usage sites of molten aluminum alloy are generally indoors, and long-distance transportation requires the use of trucks, forklifts are needed to load and unload the transfer device during loading and unloading. Generally, during loading or unloading, forklifts need to move back and forth between the truck and the factory, which is inefficient, and using multiple forklifts is costly.
[0003] Existing transfer packages have difficulty maintaining a uniform temperature of molten aluminum during transport. During the transport process, the molten aluminum tends to have a high internal temperature and a low surrounding temperature. The molten aluminum with a low surrounding temperature is prone to solidification, which affects its usability. Therefore, a molten aluminum transfer device is needed to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The four self-locking casters are respectively installed on the four electric push rods.
[0009] The aluminum liquid tank is powered to rotate by a power mechanism, which includes two gear rings fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the aluminum liquid tank. A mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the base plate, and a motor is fixedly mounted on the base plate. A rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor and is rotatably connected to the mounting plate. Two gears are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, and the two gears mesh with the two gear rings respectively.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an aluminum liquid transfer device, which has the following beneficial effects:

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example
[0027] Please see Figure 1 He Ru Figure 2 An aluminum liquid transfer device includes a base plate 1, an aluminum liquid tank 2 rotatably mounted on the base plate 1, a feed hole opened on the aluminum liquid tank 2, a feed pipe 15 fixedly installed on the feed hole, and a cover plate 16 screwed onto the feed pipe 15.
[0028] Please see Figure 5 The base plate 1 is moved and transported by a moving mechanism, which includes four self-locking casters 4. Four placement slots are symmetrically opened at the bottom of the base plate 1, and an electric push rod 3 is fixedly installed in each placement slot. The four self-locking casters 4 are respectively installed on the four electric push rods 3. By activating multiple electric push rods 3, multiple electric push rods 3 drive multiple self-locking casters 4 to extend out of the base plate 1, push the base plate 1, and move the base plate 1 to the working area, adding aluminum liquid into the aluminum liquid tank 2.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The aluminum liquid tank 2 is powered to rotate by a power mechanism, which includes two gear rings 9, which are fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the aluminum liquid tank 2. A mounting plate 5 is fixedly installed on the base plate 1, and a motor 6 is fixedly installed on the base plate 1. A rotating shaft 7 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 6. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 5. Two gears 8 are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 7. When the motor 6 is started, the motor 6 provides power to drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, thereby causing the two gears 8 to rotate. The two gears 8 mesh with the two gear rings 9 respectively. Through the meshing of the two gears 8 and the two gear rings 9, the two gear rings 9 and the aluminum liquid tank 2 are rotated.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 An agitation assembly is installed inside the aluminum liquid tank 2. The agitation assembly includes an agitator shaft 10, which is rotatably connected to the aluminum liquid tank 2. An agitator shaft 10 and a first conveyor wheel 11 are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 7 and the agitator shaft 10, respectively. The agitator shaft 10 and the first conveyor wheel 11 are connected by a tensioned conveyor belt. A scraper 13 and multiple agitator rods 14 are fixedly installed on the agitator shaft 10. When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, the first conveyor wheel 11 rotates. Through the cooperation of the first conveyor wheel 11 and the second conveyor wheel 12, the agitator shaft 10 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the scraper 13 and multiple agitator rods 14 to agitate the aluminum liquid in the aluminum liquid tank 2, so that the temperature of the aluminum liquid in the aluminum liquid tank 2 is uniform and solidification is prevented.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A protective cover 17 is fixedly installed on the mounting plate 5. The first conveyor wheel 11 and the second conveyor wheel 12 are both located inside the protective cover 17. The protective cover 17 protects the first conveyor wheel 11 and the second conveyor wheel 12 and extends their service life.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-3 Two stabilizing plates 18 are fixedly installed on the mounting plate 5. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the two stabilizing plates 18. The setting of the two stabilizing plates 18 makes the rotating shaft 7 more stable when rotating.
[0033] Please see Figure 2-4 It should also be noted that a stabilizing cylinder 19 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the top of the aluminum liquid tank 2. The stabilizing cylinder 19 is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft 10. The setting of the stabilizing cylinder 19 makes the stirring shaft 10 more stable when rotating.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 Two forklift holes 20 are symmetrically provided on the base plate 1, which facilitates the operation and lifting of forklifts.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2An auxiliary wheel 21 is fixedly installed on the cover plate 16, which facilitates the rotation of the cover plate 16.
[0036] In summary, when the aluminum liquid transfer device needs to be moved, multiple electric push rods 3 are activated, causing multiple self-locking casters 4 to extend from the base plate 1 and push it. This moves the base plate 1 to the working area. The cover plate 16 is then rotated to disengage from the feed pipe 15, allowing aluminum liquid to be added to the aluminum liquid tank 2. After adding the liquid, the cover plate 16 is rotated back on, and the motor 6 is started. This motor is a commercially available device known to those skilled in the art; we are only using it practically without making any structural or functional improvements, which will not be detailed here. The motor is equipped with a matching control switch, the installation location of which is selected according to actual practical needs for easy operator access. The operation is controlled by a motor 6 that drives a rotating shaft 7 to rotate, which in turn rotates two gears 8. Through the meshing of the two gears 8 and two gear rings 9, the two gear rings 9 and the aluminum liquid tank 2 rotate. At the same time, the rotating shaft 7 rotates, causing the first conveyor wheel 11 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the first conveyor wheel 11 and the second conveyor wheel 12, the stirring shaft 10 is driven to rotate, which in turn causes the scraper 13 and multiple stirring rods 14 to stir the aluminum liquid in the aluminum liquid tank 2, thereby making the temperature of the aluminum liquid in the aluminum liquid tank 2 uniform and preventing the aluminum liquid near the inner wall from solidifying due to low or uneven temperature. When it is necessary to remove the aluminum, the cover plate 16 is opened by rotating, and the aluminum can be extracted through the feed pipe 15 by an external extraction device. After extraction, the cover plate 16 is closed.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
