Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zinc ingot mold cooling technology, specifically a zinc ingot mold cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] Zinc ingot casting is an important process in metal processing. It involves heating solid zinc to its melting point, turning it into a liquid state, and then pouring it into a pre-prepared mold. After cooling and solidification, it forms a zinc ingot with a specific shape and size.

[0003] During the zinc ingot casting process, the molten zinc metal is poured into a mold at one end of a chain conveyor. After the slag is removed by a robotic arm, the chain conveyor drives the mold containing the molten zinc backward. At the same time, an air-cooled fan cools the molten zinc in the mold. However, the cooling effect of the fan alone on the molten zinc in the mold during the chain conveyor process is poor, which has an adverse effect on subsequent production processes.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a zinc ingot mold cooling device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a zinc ingot mold cooling device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of poor cooling effect of the zinc liquid in the mold by relying solely on a fan.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a zinc ingot mold cooling device, including a support base, a frame fixedly connected to the top of the support base, a chain conveyor installed inside the frame, the mold mounted on the surface of the chain conveyor, and a cooling mechanism installed inside the chain conveyor; The cooling mechanism includes a water cooling unit and a transport unit; The water-cooling unit includes a water tank, an inlet pipe, a distribution pipe, a connecting pipe, and a nozzle. The water tank is located in the middle of the chain conveyor mechanism. One end of the inlet pipe passes through the frame and extends into the water tank. The inlet pipe is connected to the distribution pipe via a connector. The connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the distribution pipe. The nozzle is located at the top of the distribution pipe.

[0007] Preferably, there are multiple water distribution pipes, connecting pipes, and nozzles, which are equidistantly arranged inside the water tank. The multiple equidistantly distributed water distribution pipes, connecting pipes, and nozzles can ensure that the cooling water is evenly distributed on the mold surface, thereby improving cooling efficiency and uniformity.

[0008] Preferably, the transport unit includes a water pump, a return water pipe, and a transport pipe. The water pump is located inside the water tank. One end of the return water pipe is connected to the outlet of the water pump, and the other end of the return water pipe is connected to the right side of the transport pipe via a connector. The left side of the transport pipe is connected to the other end of the inlet pipe via a connector. The water pump ensures that the cooling water circulates within the system, providing a continuous cooling effect. The connection between the return water pipe and the transport pipe forms a closed-loop system, which helps to save water resources and improve cooling efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the water tank is equipped with coolant, which can cool down the heat at the bottom of the mold, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the mold.

[0010] Preferably, a placement platform is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the frame, and a robotic arm is provided above the placement platform. The robotic arm cleans up the scum, and the support base provides a stable support platform for the robotic arm to ensure that it can operate accurately.

[0011] Preferably, a one-way valve is installed in the middle of both the inlet pipe and the return pipe. The one-way valve can prevent the cooling water from flowing back in the pipe and ensure that the cooling water flows in the correct direction, thereby maintaining the stability and efficiency of the system.

[0012] Preferably, sealing gaskets are installed between the return water pipe, inlet water pipe, transport pipe, distribution pipe, and connecting pipe. The installation of these sealing gaskets effectively prevents cooling water leakage at pipe connections, maintaining the system's airtightness and integrity. This helps reduce water waste and prevents equipment damage or safety hazards caused by leaks.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This zinc ingot mold cooling device, through multiple equally spaced water distribution pipes, connecting pipes and nozzles, enables cooling water to evenly cover the lower surface of the mold, effectively reducing the thermal stress of the mold, improving cooling efficiency and uniformity, and ensuring rapid cooling of the mold.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: Example 1: A zinc ingot mold cooling device includes a support base 1, which serves as the foundation of the entire cooling device, ensuring the stable installation and operation of all other components. It provides the necessary structural strength, enabling the equipment to operate safely in the production environment. A frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 1, supporting and securing a chain conveyor 3 and other related components. It ensures the overall structural integrity and stability of the equipment while also providing an installation platform for other components. A placement platform 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of the frame 2, and a robotic arm 6 is mounted above the support base 1. The chain conveyor 3 is housed inside the frame 2, responsible for transporting the mold 4 from one end to the other, allowing it to be cooled by the cooling mechanism. The mold 4 is mounted on the surface of the chain conveyor 3 and is a key component in zinc ingot forming, determining the shape and size of the ingot. During cooling, the mold 4 needs to dissipate heat rapidly to maintain its shape stability. The chain conveyor 3 contains the cooling mechanism. The cooling system includes a water-cooling unit; The water-cooling unit includes a water tank 10, an inlet pipe 8, a distribution pipe 12, a connecting pipe 14, and a nozzle 13. The water tank 10 is located in the middle of the chain conveyor 3. One end of the inlet pipe 8 passes through the frame 2 and extends into the water tank 10. The inlet pipe 8 is connected to the distribution pipe 12 via a connector, delivering coolant from the water tank to the distribution pipe 12. The connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the distribution pipe 12. The nozzle 13 is located at the top of the distribution pipe 12, spraying coolant onto the bottom surface of the mold for rapid cooling. There are multiple distribution pipes 12, connecting pipes 14, and nozzles 13, equidistantly arranged inside the water tank 10. The water tank 10 contains coolant, providing the necessary cooling medium for the entire cooling system.

[0019] Example 2: Based on Embodiment 1, the cooling mechanism further includes a transport unit. The transport unit comprises a water pump 11, a return water pipe 7, and a transport pipe 9. The water pump 11 is located inside the water tank 10. One end of the return water pipe 7 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 11. The water pump 11 provides power to the coolant, enabling it to circulate throughout the cooling system. This ensures a continuous supply of coolant, thereby improving cooling efficiency. The other end of the return water pipe 7 is connected to the right side of the transport pipe 9 via a connector, and the left side of the transport pipe 9 is connected to the other end of the inlet pipe 8 via a connector. The return water pipe 7 recycles the used coolant, and the transport pipe 9 connects the return water pipe 7 and the inlet pipe 8, enhancing the overall smoothness and efficiency of the cooling system. One-way valves are installed in the middle of both the inlet pipe 8 and the return water pipe 7. The one-way valves prevent the coolant from flowing backwards in the pipes, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the cooling system and the correct flow direction of the coolant. Sealing gaskets are installed between the return water pipe 7, inlet water pipe 8, transport pipe 9, distribution pipe 12, and connecting pipe 14. These gaskets prevent coolant leakage, ensuring the sealing and safety of the cooling system. This reduces maintenance costs and extends the service life of the cooling system.

[0020] Working Principle: The chain conveyor 3 is started, causing the mold 4 to begin moving from one end to the other. Then, the water pump 11 is started, initiating the circulation of coolant. Coolant in the water tank 10 is transported to the distribution pipe 12 through the inlet pipe 8. The distribution pipe 12 distributes the coolant to multiple connecting pipes 14, and finally sprays it onto the bottom surface of the mold 4 through the nozzles 13. The coolant quickly absorbs the heat from the mold, achieving rapid cooling. The coolant falls back into the water tank 10, while the water pump 11, powered inside the water tank 10, draws the coolant out and transports it to the transport pipe 9 through the return pipe 7. The transport pipe 9 then transports the coolant back to the inlet pipe 8, forming a closed-loop circulation.
