[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0017] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. The conditions in the embodiments can be further adjusted according to specific conditions, and simple improvements to the method of the present invention under the premise of the concept of the present invention are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
[0018] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5This utility model provides a metal billet melting and unloading mechanism for automobile casting processing, including a unloading track 2, which is composed of a straight section 21 and a ramp section 22. Side plates 23 with a hollow structure are provided on both sides of the top of the straight section 21 and the ramp section 22. One end of the straight section 21 is inclined upwards at an angle of five to fifteen degrees, preferably ten degrees, to ensure that each metal billet 4 can slide freely downwards without power. One end of the ramp section 22 is inclined upwards at an angle of twenty to forty degrees. The slope 22 is inclined upward at an angle of 30 degrees, which ensures that when the metal billet 4 slides downward on the slope 22, it can drive the flipping plate 6 to rotate. The middle part of the feeding track 2 is provided with several through holes 24, and the baffle plate 5 is slidably inserted into the inside of the through holes 24. The bottom end of the feeding track 2 is provided with several notches 25, and the flipping plate 6 moves inside the notches 25. The two sides of the bottom end of the feeding track 2 are fixedly installed with clips 26, which are used to fix the support arm 91 and prevent it from moving downward.
[0019] In this embodiment, the metal billet 4 slides from top to bottom inside the feeding track 2 to realize the conveying of the metal billet 4, and the sliding is achieved by the gravity of the metal billet 4.
[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A hot melt furnace 1 is provided below one end of the feeding track 2. The hot melt furnace 1 is used to heat and melt the metal billet 4. A support frame 3 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the feeding track 2. The support frame 3 is used to fix and install the feeding track 2. Several metal billets 4 are provided inside the feeding track 2. This utility model takes a cylindrical metal billet 4 as an example for introduction.
[0021] In this embodiment, the metal billet 4 is melted at high temperature by the hot melt furnace 1, which facilitates the subsequent casting and molding of the automobile casting using molds.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 The inside of the feeding track 2 is provided with several baffles 5. The baffles 5 are used to stop and release the metal billet 4. A synchronization plate 51 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the baffles 5. End seats 85 are fixedly provided at both ends of the synchronization plate 51.
[0023] In this embodiment, the baffle plate 5 blocks the metal billet 4 above, preventing it from sliding together inside the feeding track 2, ensuring that only one metal billet 4 can pass through at a time.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6The bottom end of the feeding track 2 is provided with a rotating flip plate 6. A sleeve 61 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the flip plate 6, and a long shaft 62 is fixedly inserted inside the sleeve 61. A bearing seat 63 is provided outside the long shaft 62, and the bearing seat 63 is fixedly installed on the feeding track 2.
[0025] In this embodiment, the downward sliding of a metal blank 4 utilizes the impact force of its speed to drive the rotation of the flip plate 6, and the movement of the flip plate 6 drives the synchronous component 8 to move.
[0026] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 Below the feeding track 2, there is a reset module 7 located directly below the baffle plate 5. The reset module 7 is used to raise the baffle plate 5. The reset module 7 includes a fixed plate 71 fixed inside the support frame 3. Several guide rods 72 are inserted inside the fixed plate 71. The guide rods 72 can move up and down inside the fixed plate 71, which plays a role in guiding the synchronous plate 51 up and down, ensuring its linear up and down movement. The top of the guide rod 72 is fixedly installed with an ear seat 73, which realizes the fixed connection between the top of the guide rod 72 and the synchronous plate 51. A compression spring 74 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 72, and the ear seat 73 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the synchronous plate 51.
[0027] In this embodiment, the steel wire rope 83 is used to compress the reset module 7 as it descends. After the metal blank 4 passes the flip plate 6, the compression spring 74 bounces upward, which can drive the synchronous plate 51 and the baffle plate 5 to rise, thereby blocking the next metal blank 4.
[0028] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6 A synchronization component 8 is provided between the end of the tilting plate 6 and the bottom of the baffle plate 5. The tilting plate 6 drives the baffle plate 5 to move through the synchronization component 8. The synchronization component 8 is fixedly installed on the mounting base 81 on the outer wall of the support frame 3. The mounting base 81 is fixed to the outer wall of the support frame 3 by bolts. A fixed pulley 82 is provided on the mounting base 81. The rotation of the fixed pulley 82 can change the direction of the wire rope 83. The wire rope 83 is wound around the outside of the fixed pulley 82. One end of the wire rope 83 is fixedly connected to the end seat 85, and the other end of the wire rope 83 is connected to the rotating arm 84. One end of the rotating arm 84 is fixed to the end of the long shaft 62. The rotation of the long shaft 62 can drive the rotating arm 84 to rotate synchronously.
[0029] In this embodiment, after the flip plate 6 rotates to the rear, the flip plate 6 drives the rotating arm 84 to rotate synchronously. The rotating arm 84 pulls the wire rope 83, and the wire rope 83 changes direction through the fixed pulley 82. The wire rope 83 drives the baffle plate 5 to move downward, thereby releasing the baffle plate 5 from blocking the metal blank 4. At the same time, the reset module 7 is compressed downward.
[0030] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 7 A buffer mechanism 9 is installed at the bottom end of the feeding track 2. The buffer mechanism 9 is used to decelerate the metal billet 4 sliding down the feeding track 2. The buffer mechanism 9 includes support arms 91 fixed on both sides of the bottom end of the feeding track 2, and a sleeve 92 is fixed at the top of the support arm 91. The support shaft 93 rotates inside the sleeve 92. The swing plate 94 rotates synchronously with the support shaft 93. The support shaft 93 is rotatably arranged inside the sleeve 92, and the swing plate 94 is fixedly arranged on the lower side of the support shaft 93. A synchronizing rod 95 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the end of the support shaft 93. The rotation of the support shaft 93 can drive the synchronizing rod 95 to rotate synchronously. A buffer spring 96 is arranged on one side of the synchronizing rod 95, and the other end of the buffer spring 96 is connected to the outer wall of the feeding track 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, after the metal billet 4 slides down inside the feeding track 2, the metal billet 4 impacts the swing plate 94. At the same time, the swing plate 94 and the support shaft 93 rotate synchronously, and the synchronizing rod 95 drives the buffer spring 96 to stretch, thereby decelerating the metal billet 4 and causing it to slowly fall into the hot melt furnace 1. After the metal billet 4 enters the hot melt furnace 1, the swing plate 94 returns to its original position under the rebound action of the buffer spring 96, thus achieving the deceleration effect when the next metal billet 4 is dropped.
[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the operator places the metal blanks 4 required for the processing of automobile castings one by one on the feeding track 2. Since the feeding track 2 is slightly inclined downward, the metal blanks 4 can slide down inside the feeding track 2. The sliding metal blanks 4 are blocked by the baffle plate 5. When it is necessary to put the metal billet 4 inside the feeding track 2 into the hot melting furnace 1, the operator only needs to place one metal billet 4 behind the baffle plate 5. As the metal billet 4 slides inside the feeding track 2, it will drive the flipping plate 6 to flip. When the flipping plate 6 rotates, it can drive the synchronous component 8 to move at the same time. The synchronous component 8 drives the baffle plate 5 to descend, and one of the subsequent metal billets 4 slides away from the baffle plate 5. At this time, the reset module 7 is compressed. After the metal billet 4 passes the flipping plate 6, the reset module 7 rebounds upward, driving the baffle plate 5 to rise and block the next metal billet 4. According to the above movement method, the metal billets 4 move one by one inside the feeding track 2 and enter the buffer mechanism 9. After the buffer mechanism 9 decelerates the metal billet 4, the metal billet 4 enters the hot melting furnace 1 for melting.
[0033] In the above scheme, it should be noted that: the hot melt furnace 1 is a product of existing technology, and the specific structure, electrical control connection method and heating and melting principle of the hot melt furnace 1 are all existing publicly available technical means, and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] 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 of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
