In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the production of alloy rods, a program-controlled device is added to clamp shears 63 disposed within withdrawal and straightening unit 60. When the pair of pinch shears 63 is in the first position, the pair of pinch shears 63 is fully extended, i.e. the metal bar or billet can move up in the extended pinch shears 63 without contact. When the pair of pinch shears 63 is in the second position, the pair of pinch shears 63 is half-spread, and when the pair of pinch shears 63 moves from the first position to the second position, the pinch shears 63 shear approximately 40% or so of the alloy rod to form a weak point 101, i.e., the unbroken cross-sectional area is approximately 60% of the cross-sectional area of the complete alloy rod. When the pair of clamping scissors 63 is at the third position, the pair of clamping scissors 63 is fully closed, and when the pair of clamping scissors 63 moves from the first position to the third position, the clamping scissors 63 shear the alloy rod. Preferably, the pair of pinch shears 63 is computer-programmed by the controller, the pinch shears 63 are allowed to be fully extended from the first position during continuous cold drawing, the pair of pinch shears 63 are computer-programmed to be clamped from the first position to the second position every time the alloy rod moves upward for 1m, and the pinch shears 63 are returned to the first position after the alloy rod being cast is half-sheared. The first position is opened, the second position is opened for 40% (serving as a weak breaking point), and the third position is a metal latch, namely, a pair of clamping shears cuts off the alloy rod, which specifically corresponds to the first preset position, the second preset position and the third preset position. Every time the alloy rod moves 8 meters upwards, the computer program controls the pair of clamping scissors 63 to clamp from the first position to the third position, the clamping scissors 63 return to the first position after the cast alloy rod is sheared, and the metal rod below the clamping scissors 63 is continuously pulled upwards by the clamp. In the above embodiment, the computer programs the frequency at which the pair of shears 63 move from the first position to the third position to shear the alloy rods, for example, when 8 metres of alloy rod are required to be cast, it is necessary to shear the alloy rods per 8 metres of shears 63, or when 12 metres of alloy rod are required to be cast, it is necessary to shear the alloy rods per 12 metres of shears 63. The alloy bar longer than 1 meter produced by the clamping scissors 63 controlled by the tool and the computer has one weak break point 101 per meter, so that a user of the alloy bar can easily break the metal bar at the weak break point 101 during the re-processing, and the alloy bar with the length of 1 meter, 2 meters, 3 meters or other lengths can be easily made during the processing by using the alloy bar. Therefore, according to the cold drawing length of the alloy rod, a pair of clamping shears causes weak breaking points or shears the alloy rod. The length of the alloy bar and the length of the weak break point in the production are controlled by computer program control.
In the embodiments described above, an adjustable continuous casting mode is provided to cast alloy rods or billets of different lengths, which can reduce the need to stop the production process for producing different products. Meanwhile, products which are approximately alloy ingots (ingot) can be produced (only the configuration proportion of the stokehole formula is changed), and the products required by different industries can be produced, so that the flexibility of the production line and the overall competitiveness of enterprises are improved. The alloy rod (rod) product is mainly used in the building or structural industry, such as door and window frames, decoration structures and the like, and the alloy ingot (ingot) product is mainly used for processing industrial products, such as automobile parts and the like.
In summary, the invention provides a dummy bar device of a cold drawing processing device, which comprises a dummy bar and a dummy head, wherein the dummy head is removably arranged below the dummy bar; and when the cold drawing processing equipment is at an initial processing position, a dummy bar head passes through the circulation channel of the crystallizer and is inserted into the alloy melt of the holding furnace, and the alloy piece is pulled upwards from the holding furnace; when the dummy ingot device pulls the alloy piece upwards to reach a first preset position, the positioning device of the withdrawal and straightening machine clamps the upper part of the alloy piece; when the impact hammer clamps the upper part of the alloy part at the positioning device, knocking the dummy bar device until the dummy bar is separated from the dummy head; and the clamping shears are completely closed when the dummy ingot device pulls the alloy piece to reach a second preset position upwards, and the alloy piece is sheared. And the height of the second preset position and the relative position of the clamping shears are the length of the alloy piece to be produced. Therefore, an operator can quickly and conveniently produce alloy pieces with different lengths in cold drawing processing by adjusting the height of the second preset position and the relative position of the clamping shears. The length of the alloy piece does not need to be adjusted or the alloy piece is converted into an alloy ingot, so that the processing time and energy are saved. Also, alloy rods or billets of different lengths can be cast, reducing the need to stop the production process for producing different products. The method can produce products similar to alloy ingots, and increases the flexibility of the production line and the overall competitiveness of enterprises.
