Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a casting machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes a movable chute 10, two tundish 20, a casting ladle 30, and two sets of disc devices 40. Wherein the mobile chute 10 comprises a first inflow section 11 for receiving the casting liquid flowing from the furnace and two first diverter sections 12 connected to the first inflow section 11, the two first diverter sections 12 extending towards opposite first and second sides 101, 102, respectively; the tundish 20 is respectively distributed on the first side 101 and the second side 102, each tundish 20 comprises a second inflow section 21 and two second diversion sections 22 connected with the second inflow section 21, and the two second inflow sections 21 are respectively arranged below the ports of the two first diversion sections 12; the casting ladle 30 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the second flow dividing sections 22, one end of the casting ladle 30 is arranged below the tail end of the second flow dividing section 22, and the pouring basket 20 enables casting liquid to flow into the casting ladle 30 from the second flow dividing section 22 when rotating; two sets of disc assemblies 40 are disposed on the first side 101 and the second side 102, respectively, and below the ladle 30. The disc assemblies 40 are configured to receive the casting liquid from the ladle 30 and form a casting.

In the casting machine 100 according to the embodiment of the present application, the first and second diversion sections 12 and 22 of the movable chute 10 divert the melted casting liquid to the two middle ladle 20 of the first and second sides 101 and 102, and the middle ladle 20 then pours the casting liquid into the two casting ladle 30 of the first side 101 and the two casting ladle 30 of the second side 102, respectively, so that the two casting ladle 30 on the same side can be simultaneously cast and form two castings, thereby improving the casting efficiency of the casting machine 100, improving the casting capability, and further saving the manufacturing cost and the installation space of the casting equipment.

In the embodiment of the present application, the gravity direction is taken as the vertical downward direction, and the first side 101 and the second side 102 are the left and right sides of the movable chute 10 in the horizontal direction, and include a partial section below the left/right sides of the movable chute 10.

Specifically, the upper portions of the movable spout 10, the tundish 20, and the casting ladle 30 each form an open mouth to receive the poured casting solution. The casting liquid is liquid metal melted at high temperature in a smelting furnace, and the casting liquid can be one of various metals such as copper, gold, silver, iron and the like. Illustratively, the casting solution may be high purity copper water, and the casting formed by the casting machine 100 may be a copper anode plate, which is applied to various industrial fields such as battery cathode materials, electroplating, electric welding, corrosion prevention, metal electrorefining, dust removal, and the like.

As shown in fig. 4, the movable chute 10 has a Y-shape in a top view, the first side 101 and the second side 102 are respectively located at two sides of the first inflow section 11, and two first diversion sections 12 are connected at the end of the first inflow section 11 and extend toward the first side 101 and the second side 102 to form a bifurcation. The first inflow section 11 and the first distribution section 12 may be integrally formed to ensure continuous flow of casting liquid in the movable trough 10 without easy leakage. The first inflow section 11 and the first distribution section 12 can each extend in a straight path, reducing the flow resistance and the flow time of the casting liquid. The movable chute 10 controls the casting liquid to flow into the first diversion section 12 from the first inflow section 11 by utilizing the height difference between the first inflow section 11 and the first diversion section 12, and then flows out of the movable chute 10 from the tail end of the first diversion section 12.

In one example, the movable chute 10 may be inclined such that the first inflow section 11 is slightly higher than the first distribution section 12, and the first inflow section 11 and the first distribution section 12 each form a slope.

In another example, the first inflow section 11 of the movable chute 10 may be flush with the first diverter section 12, and the first diverter section 12 may be sloped. When the movable chute 10 rotates, the first diverter section 12 decreases in height as the movable chute 10 rotates, creating a height differential with the first inflow section 11.

As shown in fig. 4, one end of the second inflow section 21 is disposed below the end of the first split section 12 in the flow direction of the casting liquid, and two second split sections 22 are connected to one end of the second inflow section 21 away from the first split section 12 and extend toward both sides of the second inflow section 21 to form a bifurcation. The second inflow section 21 and the second flow-dividing section 22 may be integrally formed. The second inflow section 21 is lower in height than the ends of the two first diverting sections 12, the tundish 20 may be arranged obliquely, the second inflow section 21 is slightly higher than the second diverting section 22, and both the second inflow section 21 and the second diverting section 22 form a slope.

The casting ladle 30 may be in a longer dustpan shape, and the bottom surface of the casting ladle 30 may have a certain radian. The ladle 30 includes an inlet end 31 and an outlet end 32. The inlet end 31, i.e. the head end of the ladle 30, is located below the second flow dividing section 22, and the casting liquid is poured from the tundish 20 into the ladle 30, first falling into the inlet end 31 of the ladle 30. The outlet end 32, i.e. the end of the ladle 30, is located above the disc device 40 and the casting liquid flows out of the ladle 30 from the outlet end 32.

The bottom surfaces of the grooves of the first inflow section 11 and the second inflow section 21 may be circular arc surfaces to reduce liquid splashing when the casting liquid falls into the grooves, and to increase the capacity of the first inflow section 11 and the second inflow section 21. The bottom surfaces of the grooves of the first and second diverting sections 12 and 22 may be flat surfaces to allow the casting solution to flow uniformly and smoothly.

The movable chute 10, the tundish 20 and the casting ladle 30 may be made of a high temperature resistant material, for example, at least one of metal, concrete, high temperature resistant ceramic, etc. is used to make the movable chute 10, the tundish 20 and the casting ladle 30. For another example, the movable chute 10, tundish 20 and casting ladle 30 are made of metal material as the outer shell and refractory material as the inner lining. The lining, i.e., the inner portions of the movable trough 10, tundish 20 and ladle 30 that are in contact with the casting liquid.

The casting machine 100 further includes a first bracket 13, a second bracket 23, and a third bracket 33, the first bracket 13 having a height higher than the second bracket 23 and the third bracket 33, and the second bracket 23 having a height higher than the third bracket 33. The mobile chute 10 is mounted on a first support 13, the tundish 20 is mounted on a second support 23 and the ladle 30 is mounted on a third support 33.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the movable trough 10 is rotatably disposed about a first inflow segment 11 and flows casting liquid from the first distribution segment 12 into a second inflow segment 21 on the same side when the movable trough 10 is configured to rotate.

In this way, the movable chute 10 is rotatably arranged by taking the first inflow section 11 as the center, and the casting liquid flows of the first diversion section 12 and the second diversion section 22 are regulated by controlling the rotation of the movable chute 10, so that the structure is simpler, more stable and higher in reliability.

Specifically, the movable chute 10 may be rotatably connected to the first bracket 13 by at least one of a rotation shaft connection, a screw connection, a gear connection, a sleeve connection, and the like. Illustratively, the movable trough 10 is mounted on the first support 13 by a rotating shaft, and the first diverter section 12 of the second side 102 is higher than the first diverter section 12 of the first side 101 when the movable trough 10 rotates toward the first side 101, and casting liquid flows from the first inflow section 11 into the first diverter section 12 of the first side 101 and is then diverted to the tundish 20 of the first side 101. Similarly, as the movable trough 10 rotates toward the second side 102, casting liquid flows into the first diverter section 12 and the tundish 20 of the second side 102.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the casting machine 100 includes a first drive assembly 14 coupled to the movable chute 10, the first drive assembly 14 configured to drive the movable chute 10 in rotation.

In this way, the first driving assembly 14 drives the movable chute 10 to rotate, so as to adjust the flow rate of the casting solution flowing into the first side 101 and the second side 102.

Specifically, the first driving assembly 14 may provide driving force through a motor, a hydraulic press, etc., and the first driving assembly 14 includes a servo motor and a first rotating shaft connected to the servo motor, and the first rotating shaft is mounted on the first bracket 13 and fixedly connected to the movable chute 10. The first rotating shaft may be disposed below the first inflow section 11 in a penetrating manner and extend in the same direction as the first inflow section 11. The first drive assembly 14 tilts the movable trough 10 toward the first side 101 or the second side 102 via a servo motor so that casting liquid flows into the tundish 20. The movable trough 10 is rotated at an angle towards the first side 101 or the second side 102 to control the flow of casting liquid to the first diverter section 12 of the first side 101 and the second side 102.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, two first diversion sections 12 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the first inflow section 11.

In this way, the first diversion sections 12 are symmetrically arranged at two sides of the first inflow section 11, so that the tundish 20 at the first side 101 and the tundish 20 at the second side 102 are symmetrically arranged at two sides of the movable chute 10, and casting liquid is evenly distributed to the first side 101 and the second side 102 for casting.

Specifically, the movable chute 10 is arranged in the middle of the tundish 20 on the two first sides 101 and the second side 102, the first inflow section 11 extends along a straight path, the first diversion sections 12 are symmetrically distributed on the first side 101 and the second side 102 by taking the straight path along which the first inflow section 11 extends as a symmetry axis, and the shapes, the sizes, the dimensions and the angles formed between the two first diversion sections 12 and the first inflow section 11 are all the same.

The tundish 20 of the first side 101 and the second side 102 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the movable chute 10. The shape, size, dimensions, and relative position of the two tundish 20 and the second flow dividing section 22 may be the same. The angle of rotation of the movable trough 10 toward the first side 101 and the second side 102 is controlled by the first drive assembly 14 to be substantially the same, and casting liquid is evenly distributed to the tundish 20 at the first side 101 and the second side 102.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in some embodiments, the second diverting sections 22 connected to the same second inflow section 21 extend toward both sides of the second inflow section 21, and the tundish 20 is rotatably disposed about the second inflow section 21, and the tundish 20 is configured to pour the casting solution from the second diverting sections 22 into the casting ladle 30 corresponding to the second diverting sections 22 when rotated.

Thus, pouring the casting liquid into the casting ladle 30 when the tundish 20 rotates is simple and stable in structure and high in reliability.

Specifically, the second inflow section 21 may extend in a straight path, and the second inflow section 21 may extend in the same direction as the first split section 12 on the same side to reduce the flow resistance of the casting liquid. The casting ladle 30 is correspondingly arranged below each second inflow section 21, and the inlet end 31 of the casting ladle 30 is opposite to the port of the second inflow end. The tundish 20 rotates around the second inflow section 21 as an axis to the two sides of the second inflow section 21 in sequence, and then, part of the casting solution is poured into the two side casting packs 30.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the casting machine 100 includes a second drive assembly 24 coupled to the tundish 20, the second drive assembly 24 configured to drive the tundish 20 in rotation, and a first weighing mechanism 25 configured to weigh the tundish 20.

In this way, the second driving assembly 24 drives the tundish 20 to rotate, and the first weighing mechanism 25 and the tundish 20 weigh the tundish 20, so that the flow of casting liquid in the tundish 20 is ensured to be kept in a reasonable range, casting liquid flowing out from the movable chute 10 is stably received, and the casting liquid is enabled to stably flow to the corresponding casting ladle 30.

Specifically, each tundish 20 is connected with a group of second driving assemblies 24 and a first weighing mechanism 25, and each second driving assembly 24 independently drives the tundish 20 connected with the second driving assembly to tilt, so that casting liquid is reasonably distributed into the casting bags 30 on the same side. The first weighing mechanism 25 is disposed below the tundish 20, and individually weighs the corresponding tundish 20. The first weighing mechanism 25 may be in signal communication with the second drive assembly 24 and transmit the weight data of the tundish 20 to the second drive assembly 24. When the weight of the tundish 20 is abnormally large or abnormally light, the second driving assembly 24 can adjust the tilting angle of the tundish 20, and keep the weight of the tundish 20 in a reasonable range, so that the flow rate and the flow velocity of casting liquid in the tundish 20 are ensured to be stable, and the casting quality is improved. In one example, the first weighing mechanism 25 weighs the tundish 20 against the added weight, i.e., the weight of casting solution held by the tundish 20.

In some embodiments, the first weighing mechanism 25 is also in signal connection with the first driving assembly 14 and the third driving assembly 34, and when the first driving assembly 14 drives the movable chute 10 to rotationally pour casting liquid to the tundish 20, the rotation angle of the movable chute 10 can be adjusted according to the weight data of the tundish 20, so that the casting liquid flow flowing from the second flow dividing section 22 to the casting ladle 30 can be reasonably distributed. Similarly, the third driving assembly 34 can adjust the rotation angle of the pouring ladle 30 according to the weight data of the pouring ladle 20 when the pouring ladle 20 is poured, so as to ensure that the flow rate and the casting speed of the pouring liquid are kept stable.

In some embodiments, the first weighing mechanism 25 is in signal connection with a control system of the furnace.

In this way, the first weighing means 25 are in signal connection with the control system of the furnace, so that the casting speed can be automatically adjusted according to the weight of the tundish 20.

Specifically, a control system of the smelting furnace controls parameters such as furnace temperature, rotating speed, flow rate of casting solution and the like of the smelting furnace. The first weighing mechanism 25 can set different preset weights, when the weight of the first weighing mechanism 25 which is weighed in real time is larger than the preset weight, the risk that the flow rate of casting liquid is too low or overflows possibly exists, and the flow rate of the casting liquid is adjusted by the smelting furnace according to the weight data of the tundish 20 transmitted by the first weighing mechanism 25, so that the safety and the stability of the casting process are guaranteed.

Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the second flow-dividing sections 22 are symmetrically disposed on either side of the second inflow section 21.

In this way, the second flow dividing sections 22 are symmetrically arranged, so that the pouring basket 20 is helped to evenly distribute the casting liquid flowing into the casting ladle 30 from the second flow dividing sections 22, and the weight consistency of the produced casting parts is further ensured.

Specifically, the tundish 20 is Y-shaped, the two second flow dividing sections 22 are symmetrically distributed on two sides of the second inflow section 21 by taking the extension path of the second inflow end as a symmetry axis, and the shape, the size and the included angle between the second flow dividing sections 22 and the second inflow section 21 are the same in the same tundish 20.

In one example, two first shunt segments 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first inflow segment 11. The two intermediate packages 20 are arranged symmetrically on both sides of the first inflow section 11, i.e. the first side 101 and the second side 102, in one-to-one correspondence with the two first diverting sections 12. The second diverter section 22 is symmetrically disposed on both sides of the second inflow section 21, and two sets of four casting ladle 30 are symmetrically disposed below the ends of the tundish 20 on both the first side 101 and the second side 102, i.e., below the second diverter section 22. The tundish 20, the ladle 30 and the disc device 40 on the first side 101 and the second side 102 are symmetrically distributed with the extension path of the first inflow section 11 as the symmetry axis.

Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the casting machine 100 includes a third drive assembly 34 coupled to the casting ladle 30, the third drive assembly 34 configured to drive the casting ladle 30 to tilt, and a second weighing mechanism 35 configured to weigh the casting ladle 30.

In this way, the second weighing mechanism 35 is used for weighing the casting ladle 30, and the third driving assembly 34 is used for driving the casting ladle 30 to tilt, so that the casting quantity of the casting ladle 30 and the casting liquid flow rate during casting are controlled, and the production quality of casting is further guaranteed.

Specifically, each casting ladle 30 is connected with a group of third driving assemblies 34 and a second weighing mechanism 35, and each third driving assembly 34 independently drives the casting ladle 30 connected with the third driving assembly to tilt, so that casting liquid is reasonably distributed into casting ladles 30 on the same side. The third driving assembly 34 includes a servo motor and a third rotation shaft, which may be disposed at the inlet end 31 or between the inlet end 31 and the outlet end 32. The casting ladle 30 is rotatably connected to a third bracket 33 through a third rotation shaft.

The second weighing mechanism 35 is provided below the casting ladle 30, and individually weighs the corresponding casting ladle 30. The second weighing mechanism 35 may be in signal connection with the third drive assembly 34 and transmit weight data of the casting ladle 30 to the third drive assembly 34. The third driving assembly 34 can adjust the tilting angle of the casting ladle 30 according to the weight data of the casting ladle 30, thereby adjusting the flow rate and the weight of the casting solution. In order to ensure that the weight of each casting remains consistent, the weighing accuracy of the second weighing mechanism 35 is required to be higher and greater than that of the first weighing mechanism 25. For example, the preset weight of the casting is 400kg, and the weighing accuracy of the second weighing mechanism 35 is ±2kg.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the disc apparatus 40 includes a rotatable disc 41 and a plurality of casting molds 42 disposed on the disc 41, the plurality of casting molds 42 being disposed along a circumference of the disc 41, the casting ladle 30 being configured to tilt relative to the casting molds 42 and pour casting liquid into the casting molds 42 as the casting molds 42 rotate with the disc 41 directly below the port of the casting ladle 30 remote from the second manifold section 22.

In this way, the casting mould 42 is driven to rotate by the disc 41, continuous casting is realized, and efficiency is high.

Specifically, the disc 41 may rotate around its center, and a plurality of molds 42 may be disposed on the disc 41 of the first side 101 and the second side 102, respectively, and the plurality of molds 42 may be disposed at the edge of the disc 41 at intervals along the circumferential direction of the disc 41. When the empty mold 42 rotates with the disc 41 below the outlet end 32 of the same-side ladle 30, the ladle 30 pours the casting liquid into the mold 42, and the casting liquid is cooled in the mold 42 to form a casting. The two disks 41 of the first side 101 and the second side 102 are individually rotatable, and the casting ladle 30 of the first side 101 and the second side 102 can pour casting liquid to the casting mold 42 of the same side and control the casting amount, respectively.

After pouring the casting solution into the tundish 20 at the first side 101, the movable chute 10 turns to the second side 102 and pours the casting solution into the tundish 20 at the second side 102. The tundish 20 of the first side 101 then pours the casting solution into the two ladles 30 of the same side, and the ladles 30 then pour a predetermined weight of casting solution into the casting mold 42. Meanwhile, the first diversion section 12, the tundish 20 and the casting ladle 30 of the second side 102 can also be continuously cast, the casting of the first side 101 and the casting ladle of the second side 102 are complementarily influenced, and the two casting ladles 30 on each side can be simultaneously cast to form two casting parts, so that the casting capacity of the casting machine is greatly improved, the large capacity requirement can be met by a single casting machine 100, the purchase and maintenance cost is further saved, and the occupied space of the casting machine 100 is reduced. In addition, the casting time is reduced, and the operation cost of heat preservation of the casting solution melted at high temperature in the smelting furnace is reduced.

In some examples, the casting machine 100 further includes an output device 50 coupled to the disc 41, the output device 50 being used to transport and transfer the casting and to perform pre-treatment procedures such as cooling, polishing, etc. on the casting.

Referring to fig. 3, in some embodiments, the end of the movable chute 10 is vertically opposite the head end of the tundish 20, the end of the tundish 20 is vertically opposite the head end of the ladle 30, and the end of the ladle 30 is vertically opposite the port of the casting mold 42.

In this way, the tail end of the movable chute 10 is opposite to the head end of the tundish 20 in the vertical direction, the tail end of the tundish 20 is opposite to the head end of the casting ladle 30 in the vertical direction, and the tail end of the casting ladle 30 is opposite to the port of the casting mould 42 in the vertical direction, so that the casting liquid can smoothly flow step by means of the height difference.

Specifically, the head end of the second inflow section 21 is located directly below the end of the first flow dividing section 12, the inlet end 31 is located directly below the end of the second flow dividing section 22, and the end of the casting mold 42 away from the center of the disc 41 is located directly below the outlet end 32. When the movable chute 10 tilts, the difference in height between the first diverter section 12 and the second inflow section 21 decreases, and the ends of the first diverter section 12 are near the head end of the first inflow section 11 but do not contact each other. Similarly, the end of the second flow-dividing section 22 is adjacent to but not in contact with the inlet end 31 of the ladle 30 when the tundish 20 is tilted, and the outlet end 32 is adjacent to but not in contact with the casting mould 42 when the ladle 30 is tilted.

In one example, the ladle 30 is used to pour copper anode plates formed by copper water into the casting molds 42, and the second weighing mechanism 35 is used to cast a single copper anode plate having a weight of 380kg, and 26 casting molds 42 are provided on each disc 41. Under the condition that the copper water flow rate ensures the quality of the copper anode plate, the casting capacity of the casting machine 100 of the embodiment of the application can reach 150t/h, and the casting speed is obviously improved.
