Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum slag scraping technology, and more specifically, to an aluminum slag scraping device for aluminum ingot production. Background Technology

[0002] Regarding the production of aluminum ingots, after refining from the ore, it needs to be poured into a mold to form aluminum ingots. After being poured into the mold, impurities in the molten aluminum will float to the surface. In order to avoid the impurities affecting the quality of the aluminum ingots, it is necessary to scrape off the impurities on the surface of the molten aluminum.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209502958U discloses an aluminum slag scraping device for an aluminum ingot production line. The scraping section includes a scraper head for scraping aluminum slag from a container, and a first driving component for driving the scraper head to move vertically. The output shaft of the first cylinder extends vertically downward along the z-axis and is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. The scraping section also includes a discharge component, which includes a rotary cylinder. The output shaft of the rotary cylinder is perpendicularly connected to the mounting plate. The scraping section also includes a second driving component, on which a slider is slidably mounted. One end of the slide rail is provided with a second cylinder for driving the slider to move along the slide rail, and the cylinder body of the rotary cylinder is fixed on the slider. The scraping section also includes a collection frame for collecting aluminum slag falling from the scraper, and the collection frame is located directly below the movement trajectory of the scraper. The speed of the aluminum ingot production line moving in the front-back direction is defined as V1, and the component speed of the slider along the y-axis is defined as Vy. Then V1 and Vy are the same.

[0004] During the use of the aforementioned patented slag scraping part, after the production line is replaced with molds of different inner cavity sizes and shapes according to production needs, the scraper of the slag scraping part cannot be adapted to the inner cavity of the replaced mold. If the scraper is too large, it cannot enter the inner cavity of the mold, and if the scraper is too small, it cannot completely scrape out the waste residue in the mold, ultimately leading to the problem of reduced scraper adaptability.

[0024] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 6 A slag scraping device for aluminum ingot production includes a supporting base plate 1, a lifting mechanism on the supporting base plate 1, a horizontal moving mechanism on the lifting mechanism, a mounting base 11 on the horizontal moving mechanism, a robotic arm body 12 mounted on the upper end of the mounting base 11, a docking block 13 mounted on the control end of the robotic arm body 12, a docking plate 14 mounted on the inner side of the docking block 13, an adjusting frame 15 mounted on the surface of the docking plate 14, a motor 16 mounted on the outer side of the adjusting frame 15, a drive rod 17 mounted on the output end of the motor 16, the motor 16 being used to control the rotational movement of the drive rod 17, a sleeve 18 mounted on the outer side of the drive rod 17, a plurality of connecting rods 19 mounted on the outer side of the sleeve 18, a fixing strip 20 mounted on the end of the connecting rod 19 away from the sleeve 18, and slag scraping plates 21 of different shapes and sizes mounted on the side of the plurality of fixing strips 20 away from the connecting rods 19 respectively.

[0026] It should be noted that by driving the drive rod 17 and sleeve 18 to rotate via the motor 16, multiple connecting rods 19 and fixing strips 20 can be rotated, thereby rotating scraper plates 21 of different shapes and sizes to the working position. This design greatly improves production efficiency and device adaptability when dealing with molds of different internal cavity sizes and shapes on the production line.

[0027] It is worth noting that the multiple scraper blades 21 are radially distributed around the sleeve 18, which is compact and saves space. The adjustment frame 15 protects and supports the internal rotating structure, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the switching process.

[0028] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 6 The output end of the lifting mechanism is connected to the horizontal moving mechanism. The lifting mechanism is used to control the lifting and lowering movement of the robotic arm body 12. The lifting mechanism includes a power component and a stabilizing component. The output end of the power component is connected to the horizontal moving mechanism. The power component is used to control the lifting and lowering movement of the horizontal moving mechanism. The output end of the stabilizing component is connected to the horizontal moving mechanism. The stabilizing component is used to support the horizontal moving mechanism.

[0029] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism uses a power component to provide the main lifting power, and is supplemented by a stabilizing component to ensure the stability of the lifting process. This combination design effectively prevents the robotic arm body 12 from shaking or deviating during the lifting process, ensuring the accurate positioning of the slag scraping operation.

[0030] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 6 The power assembly includes a fixed base 311 mounted on the upper end of the support base plate 1, a hydraulic cylinder 312 mounted on the upper end of the fixed base 311, and a first fixed plate 313 mounted on the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 312.

[0031] It should be noted that the hydraulic cylinder 312, as a power source, has the characteristics of large thrust, smooth operation and low noise, making it very suitable for heavy-duty industrial scenarios that require smooth lifting. The fixed base 311 is used to reliably fix the hydraulic cylinder 312 on the support base plate 1 to ensure that it will not be displaced during operation. The first fixed plate 313 is used to transmit the thrust of the hydraulic cylinder 312 to the horizontal moving mechanism.

[0032] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 6 The stabilizing components include four telescopic rods 321 installed on the upper end of the support base plate 1 and a second fixing plate 322 installed on the upper end of the telescopic rods 321. The four telescopic rods 321 are distributed in a rectangular shape at the four corners of the support base plate 1.

[0033] It should be noted that the four telescopic rods 321 are arranged in a rectangular shape and work together with the hydraulic cylinder 312 to bear the load from the top. They play a guiding role and prevent tilting during the lifting process, which greatly enhances the rigidity and stability of the entire lifting system.

[0034] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 5 The output end of the horizontal moving mechanism is connected to the mounting base 11. The horizontal moving mechanism is used to control the horizontal displacement of the robotic arm body 12. The horizontal moving mechanism includes a support component and a rolling component. The support component is used to support the rolling component. The output end of the rolling component is connected to the mounting base 11. The roller assembly is used to control the horizontal displacement of the mounting base 11.

[0035] It should be noted that the horizontal moving mechanism enables the robotic arm body 12 to move precisely along the direction of the mold arrangement, ensuring that the scraper plate 21 can cover every mold on the production line.

[0036] It is worth noting that the support components provide a solid track foundation for movement, while the rolling components are responsible for performing precise linear motion.

[0037] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 5 The support assembly includes a worktable 411 mounted on the upper ends of the first fixed plate 313 and the second fixed plate 322, and two support seats 412 mounted on the upper ends of the worktable 411.

[0038] It should be noted that the worktable 411 forms the mounting base of the horizontal moving mechanism. It is connected to the lifting mechanism through the first fixing plate 313 and the second fixing plate 322, so as to evenly transfer the load of the entire horizontal moving mechanism to the lifting mechanism.

[0039] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 2 to 5 The rolling assembly includes a slide rail 421 mounted on the upper end of two support seats 412 and four electric wheels 422 mounted on the lower end of the mounting seat 11. The four electric wheels 422 are rectangularly distributed on both sides of the slide rail 421 and are engaged with the slide rail 421.

[0040] It should be noted that the slide rail 421 and the electric wheel 422 constitute a precision linear motion module. The electric wheel 422 is driven by its internal motor. Through program control, the start and stop of the mounting base 11 and the robotic arm body 12 and the precise point control can be realized, thereby ensuring that the scraper plate 21 can be accurately aligned with each mold.

[0041] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 The support base plate 1 and the worktable 411 are equipped with displacement components. The displacement components are used to move the device. The displacement components include four self-locking casters 511 installed at the lower end of the support base plate 1 and pushers 512 installed at the upper end of the worktable 411. The four self-locking casters 511 are distributed in a rectangular shape at the four corners of the support base plate 1.

[0042] It should be noted that the self-locking casters 511 give the entire device flexible mobility. When it is necessary to change the work area or perform equipment maintenance, the operator can easily push the device to the designated position by pushing the handle 512, and then step on the brake locking device of the casters to fix it in place.

[0043] Working principle: When the aluminum ingot production line changes to molds with different internal cavity sizes and shapes, the device is first moved to a suitable working position by the displacement component and locked by the self-locking caster wheel 511. The hydraulic cylinder 312 of the lifting mechanism is activated to push the first fixed plate 313 and the connected worktable plate 411 to rise or fall as a whole. At the same time, the four telescopic rods 321 extend and retract accordingly to provide stable support for the lifting process, thereby adjusting the robotic arm body 12 to a suitable height. Then, the electric wheel 422 of the horizontal moving mechanism rolls on the slide rail 421, driving the mounting base 11 and the robotic arm. The main body 12 moves horizontally above the target mold, and then adjusts the angle and position of the adjustment frame 15 through the docking block 13 and docking plate 14. Then, the motor 16 is started to drive the drive rod 17 and sleeve 18 to rotate. The sleeve 18 drives the fixing strip 20 to rotate through the connecting rod 19, thereby rotating one of the multiple scraper plates 21 with different shapes and sizes that is compatible with the current mold cavity to the working position. Finally, the robotic arm main body 12 controls the scraper plate 21 to descend and extend into the mold cavity, moving along the inner wall of the mold to complete the scraping operation, effectively solving the problem that the scraper plate cannot be adapted due to mold replacement.

[0044] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
