Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of semi-solid metal pulping equipment, and in particular to a magnesium alloy semi-solid quantitative detection induction pulping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Semi-solid metal slurry is a type of solid-liquid mixed metal slurry. It is a solid-liquid mixed material formed by controlling the solidification process of the molten metal within the solid-liquid temperature range, thereby creating a uniformly distributed solid phase component. It is widely used in the automotive manufacturing industry.

[0003] Currently, semi-solid metal slurries, such as semi-solid magnesium alloy slurries, are manufactured using an integrated heating and conveying screw and mold. Magnesium alloy raw material particles are fed into the conveying screw, which heats and melts the particles to form a slurry, which is then transported. The molten metal is continuously fed into the mold for shaping. However, this integrated structure requires manual judgment of the slurry delivery volume due to the continuous operation of the conveying screw. This makes it difficult to guarantee the amount of molten metal injected into the mold each time, and precision control needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting pipe has a horizontal section and an inclined section, one end of the horizontal section is connected to the quantitative chamber, and the other end of the horizontal section is connected to the inclined section; the detection sensor is disposed at the end of the inclined section away from the horizontal section.

[0007] Furthermore, the detection sensing structure also includes an output pipe disposed in the connecting pipe, the output pipe being connected to the inclined section.

[0008] Furthermore, the axis of the horizontal segment coincides with the axis of the quantitative chamber.

[0009] Furthermore, the conveying screw is coaxially connected to a first connecting rod, and the screw drive assembly is disposed on the first connecting rod; the push-pull structure is disposed at the end of the first connecting rod away from the conveying screw, and the push-pull structure includes a connecting assembly rotatably connected to the first connecting rod and a push drive assembly for driving the connecting assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the first connecting rod is used to cooperate with the connecting assembly, one end of which has an installation groove; the connecting assembly includes a second connecting rod passing through the installation groove, the second connecting rod being rotatably connected to a plurality of bearings at one end of the installation groove, the plurality of bearings abutting against the inner wall of the installation groove, and the installation groove being provided with a locking element for limiting the plurality of bearings.

[0011] Furthermore, the material conveying pipe and the connecting pipe are integrally formed.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this application are: This application discloses a semi-solid magnesium alloy quantitative detection induction slurry making mechanism. By setting a conveying chamber and a quantitative chamber in the conveying pipeline, a conveying structure rotates in the conveying chamber to melt the material and convey it towards the quantitative chamber. After melting, the material continuously moves towards the quantitative chamber and accumulates under the drive of the conveying structure. A push-pull structure pulls the conveying screw away from the quantitative chamber as the material is continuously conveyed towards it. By controlling the extension stroke of the conveying screw, the volume of the quantitative chamber can reach the desired size. After the molten material accumulates in the quantitative chamber, it moves to the connecting pipe. When the detection sensor detects that the liquid level in the connecting pipe has reached a preset value, the conveying screw stops conveying. At this point, the volume of semi-solid magnesium alloy material in the quantitative chamber and the connecting pipe is the required volume. Finally, the push-pull structure pushes the conveying screw to convey the material, achieving quantitative manufacturing and conveying. This eliminates the need for manual judgment to ensure the amount of material manufactured and conveyed each time, thereby improving the forming accuracy and quality of the semi-solid magnesium alloy.

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 This application provides a semi-solid magnesium alloy quantitative detection induction slurry making mechanism, including a pipeline structure 1, a conveying structure 2, a detection induction structure 3, and a push-pull structure 4 disposed in the pipeline structure 1. When the semi-solid magnesium alloy detection induction slurry making mechanism is running, the conveying structure 2 and the push-pull structure 4 run within the pipeline structure 1 to melt and convey the material, and the material is made into a slurry. During this process, the detection induction structure 3 detects the slurry. When the slurry reaches a preset amount, the conveying structure 2 stops running, and the push-pull structure 4 starts to output the slurry.

[0019] Specifically, the pipeline structure 1 is used to support and install various structures and guide the transport of materials. The pipeline structure 1 includes a conveying pipeline 11, which has a conveying chamber 111 and a metering chamber 112. The conveying chamber 111 has an inlet end and an outlet end, and the metering chamber 112 is located at the outlet end. Several heating elements 12 are arranged along the length of the conveying pipeline 11 to heat the conveying chamber 111. The heating elements 12 can specifically be heating wires. The heating elements 12 are arranged along the length of the conveying pipeline 11 to heat the conveying chamber 111. A feed hopper 13 is provided at one end of the conveying pipeline. The feed hopper 13 is connected to the conveying chamber 111 and located at the inlet end, allowing metal materials to be fed into the conveying chamber 111. The heating elements 12 and the feed hopper 13 are existing technologies and can be purchased; their specific structures and working principles will not be described in detail.

[0020] The conveying chamber 111 extends along the length of the conveying pipe 11. The conveying structure 2 is located inside the conveying chamber 111, the push-pull structure 4 is located at one end of the conveying chamber 111 along its length, and the detection and sensing structure 3 is located at the other end of the conveying chamber 111 along its length. The metering chamber 112 is connected to the conveying chamber 111 and is located at the end of the conveying chamber 111 away from the push-pull structure 4, that is, the detection and sensing structure 3 of the metering chamber 112 is located at the discharge end of the conveying chamber 111.

[0021] The conveying structure 2 includes a conveying screw 21 rotatably connected to the conveying chamber 111 and a screw drive assembly 23 for driving the conveying screw 21 to rotate. The conveying screw 21 is located inside the conveying chamber 111 and is arranged along the length direction of the conveying chamber 111. One end of the conveying screw 21 in the length direction faces the metering chamber 112, and the other end of the conveying screw 21 in the length direction is connected to the screw drive assembly 23. In this embodiment, the conveying screw 21 is coaxially connected to a first connecting rod 22, and the screw drive assembly 23 is disposed on the first connecting rod 22. The screw drive assembly 23 includes a screw drive component, which can specifically be a motor and pulley structure, or a motor and gear structure. When the screw drive component is activated, it drives the first connecting rod 22 to rotate. The rotating first connecting rod 22 drives the conveying screw 21 to rotate, thereby continuously moving the molten material towards the metering chamber 112. It should be noted that the first connecting rod 22 and the conveying screw 21 can be coaxially connected by a coupling, in which case the first connecting rod 22 and the conveying screw 21 are two separate rods; the first connecting rod 22 and the conveying screw 21 can also be coaxially connected by integrating the first connecting rod 22 and the conveying screw 21 into one piece, that is, the first connecting rod 22 and the conveying screw 21 are the same rod.

[0022] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figure 3The detection sensing structure 3 includes a connecting pipe 31 connected to the metering chamber 112 and a detection sensor 32 disposed on the connecting pipe 31. The detection sensor 32 is used to detect the liquid level in the connecting pipe 31. Specifically, the conveying pipe 11 is horizontally arranged, and the connecting pipe 31 is horizontally arranged and connected to the end of the conveying pipe 11 away from the feed hopper 13. The conveying pipe 11 can be integrally formed with the connecting pipe 31 to ensure structural strength and structural accuracy. The connecting pipe 31 has a horizontal section 311 and an inclined section 312. One end of the horizontal section 311 is connected to the metering chamber 112, and the axis of the horizontal section 311 coincides with the axis of the metering chamber 112 to ensure the material conveying effect. The other end of the horizontal section 311 is connected to the inclined section 312.

[0023] The detection sensor 32 is located at the end of the inclined section 312 away from the horizontal section 311, facing the connection between the inclined section 312 and the horizontal section 311 to detect the level of the magnesium alloy slurry. Specifically, the detection sensor 32 can be a level detection probe, a level sensor, or a visual detection probe, depending on the actual needs. When the magnesium alloy slurry moves continuously to the metering chamber 112 under the drive of the conveying structure 2, the slurry will continue to move along the metering chamber 112 to the horizontal section 311 of the connecting pipe 31. After the slurry fills the metering chamber 112 and the horizontal section 311, it will continue to rise along the inclined section 312. At this time, the detection sensor 32 can detect the level of the slurry. When the slurry level reaches a preset value, the detection sensor 32 sends a signal, and the conveying screw 21 stops running. At this time, the slurry level is the preset and adjustable metering value. The detection sensing structure 3 also includes an output pipe 33 disposed in the connecting pipe 31. The output pipe 33 is connected to the inclined section 312. When the slurry reaches the quantitative value, the conveying screw 21 will drive the slurry to move under the push-pull structure 4, and the slurry will be output from the output pipe 33 to the external equipment.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 as well as Figure 4The push-pull structure 4 is located at the end of the conveying screw 21 away from the metering chamber 112 and connected to the conveying screw 21. The conveying screw 21 is slidably connected to the conveying chamber 111, allowing the conveying screw 21 to move closer to or further away from the metering chamber 112. The push-pull structure 4 is located at the end of the first connecting rod 22 away from the conveying screw 21. The push-pull structure 4 includes a connecting assembly 41 rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 22 and a push-drive assembly 42 for driving the connecting assembly 41. Specifically, in order to cooperate with the connecting assembly 41, the end of the first connecting rod 22 that cooperates with the connecting assembly 41 has an installation groove. The connecting assembly 41 includes a second connecting rod 411 passing through the installation groove. The push-drive assembly 42 is a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric cylinder. One end of the second connecting rod 411 in the length direction is coaxially mounted with the piston end of the push-drive assembly 42. Similarly, the second connecting rod 411 can be coaxially mounted with the piston end of the push-drive assembly 42 through a coupling. Alternatively, the second connecting rod 411 can be an integral structure with the piston end of the push-drive assembly 42.

[0025] The second connecting rod 411 is rotatably connected to a plurality of bearings 412 at one end of the mounting groove. The bearings 412 abut against the inner wall of the mounting groove, and the mounting groove is provided with a locking element for limiting the bearings 412. In this embodiment, in order to ensure the limiting and rotation effects, the second connecting rod 411 has a shoulder at one end of the mounting groove, which divides the mounting groove into two sub-mounting grooves, each of which is provided with bearings 412. With this arrangement, when the first connecting rod 22 rotates, the second connecting rod 411 remains independent. That is, the first connecting rod 22 is equivalent to the second connecting rod 411 rotating to drive the conveying screw 21 to rotate, while the second connecting rod 411 does not rotate, and the drive assembly 42 does not rotate either. The purpose of this arrangement is to avoid the failure of the drive assembly 42 due to prolonged rotation, thereby increasing the operational stability of the pulping mechanism.

[0026] The working principle of the magnesium alloy semi-solid quantitative detection induction slurry making mechanism of this application is as follows: Magnesium alloy metal raw material particles are fed into the conveying pipe 11 through the feed hopper 13, while the heating element 12 operates simultaneously. Driven by the conveying screw 21, the metal raw material melts into a molten substance and continuously moves towards the quantitative chamber 112. During this process, the push-pull structure 4 operates at a uniform speed and slowly pulls the conveying screw 21 away from the quantitative chamber 112. By controlling the pulling distance of the conveying screw 21, the volume of the quantitative chamber 112 can be controlled. The molten metal fills the quantitative chamber 112 and the horizontal section 311. When the detection sensing element 32 detects that the molten metal level in the inclined section 312 has reached a specified value, the conveying screw 21 stops operating, thus achieving quantitative manufacturing. Finally, the push-pull structure 4 pushes the conveying screw 21, which pushes the molten substance out of the quantitative chamber 112. The molten substance is then transported to external equipment for further processing and manufacturing through the output pipe 33.
