Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of smelting and casting technology, and specifically relates to an automated induction smelting and casting system. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of rapid development in materials science and engineering technology, melting and casting systems, as key experimental and production equipment, have been widely used in research institutions and industrial experiments. Traditional melting furnaces typically rely on manual operation for melting and casting various single-crystal materials and alloys, playing a vital role in small-batch, multi-variety scientific research experiments. However, with increasing demands for material performance and the growing need for standardized and precise experimental processes, traditional manual melting and casting methods have gradually revealed certain limitations in terms of efficiency, repeatability, and operational safety.

[0003] Especially in the field of high-end materials preparation, higher requirements are placed on the precision of temperature control during the melting process, the timing of casting, and the stability of environmental conditions. Existing manual melting equipment often fails to meet these requirements and has shortcomings in data recording, process traceability, and human-machine interaction. At the same time, a mature technical system for automated induction melting and casting has not yet been formed in China, and research and application in related fields are still in the initial exploratory stage.

[0004] Therefore, developing an intelligent induction melting system that can automate the entire melting and casting process can not only improve experimental efficiency and material preparation consistency, but also effectively reduce errors and safety risks caused by human operation. It has important scientific research value and broad application prospects. Therefore, we hope to design a new type of speaker to solve this problem. Summary of the Invention

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] As the first embodiment of the present invention:

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 7 An automated induction melting and casting system includes: a frame, an automatic large-capacity circulating glove box 200 installed on the upper side of the frame to create a relatively stable chamber environment to avoid the influence of the external environment on melting and casting, an electrical control box installed at the bottom of the frame for installing electrical control components, a water chiller 100 installed on the left side of the frame for providing coolant, the automatic large-capacity circulating glove box 200 including a glove box body 230, a transition chamber 220 provided on the left side of the glove box body 230, and an induction melting assembly 240 for induction melting installed on the upper rear side of the glove box body 230;

[0037] A water-cooled copper mold assembly 250 is movably mounted on the rear side of the bottom center of the glove box body 230 via a sliding table that moves back and forth for clamping and fixing the casting mold. A multi-axis linkage control assembly 260 is mounted on the top of the glove box body 230. A mold plate 280 is slidably mounted on the left side of the glove box body 230 via a sliding table 2. A crucible plate 270 is slidably mounted on the right side of the glove box body 230 via a sliding table 3. A control cabinet 300 for electrical control is provided on the right side of the frame.

[0038] A conveying assembly 110 is installed on the left side of the frame and is located on the right side of the water chiller 100. The conveying assembly 110 includes a water pump and a water pipe. The water pump is connected to the outlet of the water chiller 100 through the water pipe and to the water-cooled copper mold assembly 250 through the water pipe. The water-cooled copper mold assembly 250 includes a base 251. The two bases 251 are arranged in a mirror structure and a cylinder 252 is installed on the outer end of each base 251.

[0039] Copper modules 253 are slidably installed on the inner ends of the two bases 251 via double guide rods. The inner walls of the inner ends of the two copper modules 253 are recessed from top to bottom to form a semi-circular groove. The two semi-circular grooves are merged to form a complete mold groove. A connector 254 is installed on the upper side of each of the two copper modules 253 for connecting to hose one. Hose one is connected to water pipe two through manifold one.

[0040] Two copper modules 253 are each threaded with a flexible hose 2 on their lower rear sides. The two flexible hoses 2 are connected to the water cooler 100 recovery inlet through a manifold 2 and a water pipe 3, respectively. In actual use, each of the two copper modules 253 is equipped with a water cooling chamber, which can quickly cool the mold body 281 that is placed inside.

[0041] An operation panel 210 for setting parameters is installed on the front left side of the glove box body 230. The operation panel 210 is electrically connected to the electrical control box and control cabinet 300 via wires to control the electrical equipment of the entire device.

[0042] A transition chamber 220 is provided on the left side of the glove box body 230 for placing items required for smelting. A sliding table four that moves left and right is provided between the interior of the transition chamber 220 and the interior of the glove box body 230. A placement plate four is installed on the sliding table four, and the width of the placement plate four in the front-back direction is smaller than the width of the bottom of the transition chamber 220.

[0043] The induction melting assembly 240 includes a housing 241, the portion of which near the rear of the glove box body 230 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft rotatably mounted in a bushing.

[0044] A driven gear is provided at the rear end of the rotating shaft. This driven gear is connected to the driving gear and servo motor installed on the outer wall of the rear end of the glove box body 230. An inner shell 242 is provided inside the outer shell 241, and an induction coil 243 is installed between the outer shell 241 and the inner shell 242 for induction heating and melting. The top left and right sides of the inner shell 242 are recessed downward to form a relief groove 244. In actual use, the induction melting assembly 240 also includes an induction power supply to provide power to the entire induction melting assembly 240. The heating temperature is controlled by the maximum input power and heating current to achieve the experimental... The requirements are that the rotating shaft, bushing, drive gear, and servo motor are used to control the casting rate and angle adjustment of the automated melting system. The induction coil 243 is a graphite heating element, which is installed between the outer shell 241 and the inner shell 242 through the coil bracket. Both the outer shell 241 and the inner shell 242 are heat insulation bodies, which effectively reduce heat loss during the heating process and ensure that the temperature inside the glove box is in a safe environment. The induction coil 243 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 241 and the inner shell 242 through locking screws and nuts to prevent the induction coil 243 from falling off the outer shell 241 and the inner shell 242 during the tilting process.

[0045] The front inner wall and the rear inner wall of the inner shell 242 are respectively recessed outward to form an arc-shaped groove 245. The right side of the arc-shaped groove 245 on the front side is not connected to the right side relief groove 244, while the left side is connected to the left side relief groove 244. The left side of the arc-shaped groove 245 on the rear side is not connected to the left side relief groove 244, while the right side is connected to the right side relief groove 244.

[0046] The multi-axis linkage control component 260 is an X, Y, and Z three-axis control module. It includes a mold gripping arm 261 and a crucible gripping arm 262. The crucible gripping arm 262 is slidably mounted on the rear part of the multi-axis linkage control component 260, and the mold gripping arm 261 is slidably mounted on the front part of the multi-axis linkage control component 260. In actual use, the multi-axis linkage control component 260 includes a horizontally fixed profile, a horizontally dynamic profile that moves back and forth, and two lead screw modules for driving the horizontally dynamic profile's back and forth movement. The horizontally fixed profile is fixed to the top of the glove box body 230. On the rear side, the horizontal dynamic profile is slidably connected to the top front side of the glove box body 230 via a slider, and the left and right ends of the horizontal dynamic profile are respectively fixedly connected to a lead screw module. The crucible gripping arm 262 is slidably installed on the lower side of the horizontal fixed profile, and the mold gripping arm 261 is slidably installed on the lower side of the horizontal dynamic profile. When the crucible moves to the position of the induction melting component 240, the crucible gripping arm 262 can activate the clamping, fixing and rotation control of the cylinder 252 component on it, and rotate the buckle 271 of the crucible body 272 into the arc-shaped slot 245 to prevent the crucible body 272 from falling off during the tilting process.

[0047] Specifically, in actual use, the automatic large warehouse circulating glove box 200, during operation, uses the operation screen 210 interface installed on the glove box body 230 to perform suction inside the glove box body 230 (the glove box body 230 has its own suction structure; the glove box body 230 uses a product model from the existing technology, which combines two independent glove boxes with a sealed connection in the middle to form a complete glove box body 230), and circulates it to reduce the water and oxygen content in the glove box chamber to the required values. Then, the circulation of the glove box body 230 is started to ensure that the water and oxygen content are within a stable range.

[0048] Then, based on the characteristics of the material to be smelted, the smelting temperature, casting rate, and internal temperature of the glove box body 230 are set on the control cabinet interface. Then, the door of the transition chamber 220 is opened, and the crucible tray 270 and the mold tray 280 are placed in sequence. The required number of crucible bodies 272 to be smelted are placed on the crucible tray 270 in advance and fixed on the crucible tray 270. The required number of mold bodies 281 are placed on the mold tray 280 in the same way. The crucible tray 270 and the mold tray 280 are placed on the placement plate 4 of the slide table 4, and the crucible tray 270 and the mold tray 280 are moved to the left side of the glove box body 230 under the drive of the slide table 4 (the distance into the left side of the glove box body 230 is sufficient for the multi-axis linkage control component 260 to grasp the crucible tray 270 and the mold tray 280).

[0049] Then, the multi-axis linkage control component 260 is activated, and the lead screw modules on both sides adjust the front and rear positions of the transverse dynamic profile so that the distance between the crucible gripping arm 262 sliding on the lower side of the transverse dynamic profile and the crucible gripping arm 262 on the lower side of the transverse fixed profile is sufficient to grip the crucible tray 270 and the mold tray 280. After the adjustment is completed, the transverse dynamic profile and the transverse fixed profile can be activated to drive the crucible gripping arm 262 to move in four directions on the placement plate. After the crucible gripping arm 262 is placed at the front and rear positions of the crucible tray 270 and the mold tray 280, the crucible gripping arm 262 is activated to grip the crucible tray 270 or the mold tray 280.

[0050] Then, it is placed on the corresponding slides 2 and 3 (slide 2 places the mold plate 280, and slide 3 places the crucible plate 270). Since the connecting column 1 is connected to the support column 3 through the insertion rod 1 and the insertion hole 3 to place the entire crucible plate 270, the crucible plate 270 can be stably placed on the upper side of slide 3. Similarly, the mold plate 280 is also stably placed on slide 2 in the same way. This provides an automated environment for the melting and casting of materials. In addition, the glove box body 230, together with the multi-axis linkage control component 260, the crucible plate 270 and the mold plate 280, enables the entire device to be operated automatically. This not only reduces the safety risks caused by manual operation, but also ensures the environmental requirements required for melting and casting, minimizes the impact of the external environment, and ensures the quality of the final molding. Compared with the traditional manual melting and casting method, it has made a significant breakthrough in terms of efficiency, repeatability and operational safety.

[0051] As a second embodiment of the present invention:

[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 7 The crucible tray 270 includes a placement tray, with multiple placement grooves recessed at the top for placing the crucible body 272. The upper side wall of the crucible body 272 is provided with two buckles 271 arranged in a mirror structure. The four corners of the lower side of the placement tray are respectively provided with a docking post, and the lower middle of the post is provided with an insert rod.

[0053] A placement plate 3 is slidably installed on the upper side of the slide table 3. Support columns 3 are respectively set at the four corners of the upper surface of the placement plate 3. The top of the support column 3 is recessed downward to form an insertion hole 3. The docking column 1 is inserted into the support column 3 through the insertion rod 1 and the insertion hole 3 to place the entire crucible tray 270.

[0054] The mold plate 280 includes a placement plate 2. The top of the placement plate 2 is recessed with multiple placement grooves 2 for placing the mold body 281. The four corners of the lower side of the placement plate 2 are respectively provided with docking posts 2, and the middle of the lower side is provided with insert rods 2.

[0055] A placement plate 2 is slidably installed on the upper side of the slide table 2. Support columns 2 are respectively set at the four corners of the upper surface of the placement plate 2. The top of the support column 2 is recessed downward to form an insertion hole 2. The docking column 2 is inserted into the support column 2 through the insertion rod 2 and the insertion hole 2 to place the entire mold plate 280. In actual use, the mold body 281 is preferably made of copper material, which has better thermal conductivity and facilitates rapid cooling. The segment position of the mold body 281 is as consistent as possible with the segment direction of the water-cooled copper mold.

[0056] Based on the first embodiment described above, further, by setting up an induction melting assembly 240, a water-cooled copper mold assembly 250, a multi-axis linkage control assembly 260, a crucible tray 270, and a mold tray 280, in actual use, the crucible containing the material is picked up by the crucible gripping arm 262 on the multi-axis linkage control assembly 260 and moved towards the induction melting assembly 240 (the outer shell 241 of the induction melting assembly 240 is placed directly below the horizontally fixed profile, and when the crucible gripping arm 262 moves to the induction melting assembly 240, it is placed on the outer shell 240). (1) On the top side, when the crucible gripping arm 262 moves the upper side of the outer shell 241, the downward movement function of the crucible gripping arm 262 is activated, causing the crucible body 272 to move downward. The crucible body 272 gradually enters the inner shell 242. After the buckle 271 on the crucible body 272 enters the two clearance slots 244, the rotation function of the crucible gripping arm 262 is activated, causing the crucible body 272 to rotate counterclockwise by ninety degrees, so that the buckle 271 enters the two arc-shaped slots 245. From this point on, the crucible body 272 is locked and fixed inside the induction melting assembly 240.

[0057] At the same time, the mold gripper is activated to place the mold body 281 between the two mold blocks and clamp it in the same way. The water chiller 100 is activated and the conveying assembly 110 delivers cooling water to the water cooling chamber inside the two mold blocks. Then the induction melting assembly 240 is activated and the induction coil 243 is energized through the operation screen 210 to heat the crucible body 272, thereby melting the material inside. After the material is melted.

[0058] The servo motor is started to drive the entire outer shell 241, inner shell 242 and crucible body 272 to rotate clockwise synchronously (the inner shell 242 and outer shell 241 are in an upward state during melting. When the crucible body 272 is rotated clockwise, its reserved guide port is located on the upper side of the mold body 281, so that the flowing molten material can accurately enter the mold body 281). The molten material is introduced into the mold body 281 clamped on the water-cooled copper mold assembly 250. Under the continuous cooling effect of the water chiller 100, the conveying assembly 110 and the water-cooling chambers inside the two mold blocks, the mold body 281 is quickly cooled, thereby achieving rapid mold fixing. After the mold is fixed, the dynamic induction melting assembly 240 is reset.

[0059] At the same time, the mold gripping arm 261 and the crucible gripping arm 262 respectively grab the crucible body 272 and the mold body 281 and return them to the original positions of the crucible tray 270 and the mold tray 280. Then the next round of melting and casting can be carried out. Finally, after all the work is completed, the multi-station mold tray 280 and the multi-station crucible tray 270 are moved out of the glove box body 230 and moved to the transition chamber 220. This makes the whole device not only improve experimental efficiency and material preparation consistency, but also effectively reduce errors and safety risks caused by human operation.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
