Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of die-casting equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a casting cooling tank. Background Technology

[0002] In the cooling process of casting production, the casting cooling tank is a key piece of equipment. After high-temperature castings are placed in the cooling tank, unsolidified molten metal, metal oxides, and residual release agents on the surface will form scum. If this scum accumulates on the surface of the cooling tank for a long time, it will adhere to the surface of the castings being cooled subsequently, causing problems such as spots and embedded impurities, reducing the appearance and surface quality of the castings. On the other hand, the scum accumulation will block the inlet and outlet of the cooling tank, slowing down the cooling water circulation speed, reducing cooling efficiency, and even affecting the internal structural stability of the castings due to untimely cooling. Furthermore, manual scum removal requires frequent machine shutdowns and is prone to incomplete removal, seriously affecting production continuity and efficiency, resulting in poor overall performance. Therefore, this utility model proposes a casting cooling tank. Utility Model Content

However, it should be understood that these descriptions are only for further illustrating the features and advantages of this utility model, and not for limiting the patent claims of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0016] Example 1 See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the casting cooling tank involved in this embodiment includes a cooling tank body 1 that is rectangular in shape with the opening facing upward. A suspension frame 2 that is also rectangular in shape and similar in shape is provided above the cooling tank body 1. The suspension frame 2 is fixed on the cooling tank body 1 or on the factory roof. An inclined scraper 3 is provided inside the cooling tank body 1. The inclined scraper 3 extends along the width direction of the cooling tank body 1. A traveling mechanism 4 is provided on the suspension frame 2 to control the movement of the inclined scraper along the length direction of the cooling tank body. An elastic telescopic rod 5 is connected between the traveling mechanism 4 and the inclined scraper 3. A movable guide plate 6 is provided at the bottom of the inclined scraper 3. A fixed guide plate 7 is provided on the inner front wall of the cooling tank body in front of the movable guide plate 6.

[0017] Furthermore, the walking mechanism 4 includes a guide rod mounting seat 401 and a lead screw mounting seat 402 mounted on the suspension frame. A guide rod 403 is rotatably connected to the guide rod mounting seat 401, and a guide sleeve 404 is slidably connected to the guide rod 403. A lead screw 405 is rotatably connected to the lead screw mounting seat 402, and a lead screw nut 406 is threaded onto the lead screw 405. A crossbeam 407 extending along the width direction of the cooling tank body is provided directly above the inclined scraper 3. The crossbeam 407 is fixedly connected to the guide sleeve 404 and the lead screw nut 406. One end of the lead screw 405 is drivenly connected to a motor 408 for controlling rotation. The motor 408 is mounted on the suspension frame 2, and the inclined scraper 3 is mounted on the crossbeam 407. The motor 408 is a geared motor.

[0018] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic rod 5 includes an outer tube 501 that extends vertically, an inner column 502 that extends vertically is slidably connected inside the outer tube 501, a sealing plate 503 is provided at the top of the outer tube 501, a slanted scraper 3 is connected to the bottom of the inner column 502, a first limiting part 504 is provided at the top of the inner column 502, a second limiting part 505 is provided below the first limiting part 504 on the outer tube, and an elastic element 506, which is a compression spring, is provided inside the outer tube 501, with its upper end abutting against the sealing plate and its lower end abutting against the inner column.

[0019] In this embodiment, the movable guide plate 6, in its initial state, is located on the side opposite to the fixed guide plate 7 and abuts against the inner wall of the cooling tank body 1, with the coolant partially submerging the movable guide plate 6. The traveling mechanism 4 is operated to move the inclined scraper 3 towards the fixed guide plate 7, pushing the scum floating on the liquid surface until the movable guide plate 6 at the bottom of the inclined scraper 3 contacts the fixed guide plate 7, and continues to move forward. Because the position of the fixed guide plate 7 is not fixed, the movable guide plate 6 also moves upward while moving forward, causing the elastic telescopic rod 5 to shorten and pushing the scum along the fixed guide plate 7 out of the cooling tank body 1. Afterward, the inclined scraper 3 is reset.

[0020] The working principle of the walking mechanism 4 is as follows: the motor 408 drives the lead screw 405 to rotate, which is then driven by the lead screw nut 406 to move the connected crossbeam 407 carrying the inclined scraper 3; the guide rod 403 and the guide sleeve 404 are used to guide the crossbeam 407 when it moves.

[0021] The working principle of the elastic telescopic rod 5 is as follows: the inclined scraper 3 moves the inner column 502 upward, the elastic element 506 is compressed, and the elastic telescopic rod 5 shortens; when the inclined scraper 3 no longer exerts upward thrust, the elastic element 506 returns to its original shape, the inner column 502 moves downward, and the elastic telescopic rod 5 extends.

[0022] Example 2 See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the casting cooling tank involved in this embodiment is further configured, based on embodiment 1, with a lower cover plate 8 provided below the fixed guide plate 7 to close it.

[0023] In this embodiment, the lower cover plate 8 is used to close the open space at the bottom of the fixed guide plate 7.

[0024] Example 3 See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the casting cooling tank involved in this embodiment is further configured, based on embodiment 1, with a reinforcing plate 9 connecting the movable guide plate 6 and the inclined scraper.

[0025] In this embodiment, the reinforcing plate 9 is used to connect the movable guide plate 6 and the inclined scraper 3, thereby enhancing the structural strength.

[0026] The casting cooling tank involved in this utility model, through the set scum removal mechanism, can continuously or periodically clean the scum in the cooling tank, preventing scum from adhering to the casting surface, effectively reducing casting surface defects, improving the appearance and surface quality of the casting, and preventing scum from clogging the water passages, ensuring smooth cooling water circulation, maintaining stable cooling efficiency, and ensuring that the casting cooling effect meets the standards. Moreover, the scum removal mechanism can complete the scum cleaning operation automatically or semi-automatically, without the need for frequent manual shutdowns for scum removal. This not only reduces the labor intensity of workers but also avoids production interruptions caused by manual cleaning, significantly improving production continuity and overall production efficiency. The overall function is complete and highly practical.
