Definitions

  • the invention relates to machines for demoulding ingots.
  • demoulding ingots in a production line is carried out one by one, which increases the demoulding time thereof.
  • DE 12 81 114 discloses a method for handling and stacking metal ingots by means of which the ingots are carried to the stacking table through carrying means.
  • the ingots are taken by their superior portion by means of a device for gripping, lifting, lowering and orienting with pliers.
  • the metal ingots grouped on the stacking table are lifted so that the next group can be passed to the stacking table; thus, the next group or groups in the conveyor chain advance one position and a new group is taken by the device for gripping.
  • the prior art does not render a continuous supply of demoulded ingots at a specified speed, spaced at a desired distance, a since DE 12 81 114 cannot provide an uninterrupted supply of ingots at a desired pace, but a pile of groups of ingots which has to be handled as a whole.
  • the demoulding phase takes place in the following way: the ingots (2, 2') arrive through the chain for moulds (1) and the ingots (2, 2') leave the mould in their reversed position by their own weight or aided by a stroke or push, landing, two by two in the support-arms (3).
  • the machine of the invention allows a spacing between ingots in the quick belt: the arms of the supporting mechanism (3) are removed so as to deposit the ingots (2, 2') on the lowering device (6) in the following way:
  • the lowering device (6) moves downwards, it deposits a first ingot (2') on the quick belt or chain (5), while the second ingot (2) is deposited on a spacing mechanism (4).
  • the spacing mechanism (4) moves downwards such that the second ingot (2) is deposited on the quick chain (5); in this way, both ingots (2, 2') are spaced by the desired distance and therefore, prepared for their subsequent handling.
  • the invention relates to a machine for multiple demoulding of ingots having:
  • Said machine comprises:
  • the conveyor chain for moulds can be driven by a sprocket and the guide can:
  • the first actuating means can be a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder which, in turn, can have:
  • the second actuating means can be a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder, which in turn can have:
  • the third actuating means can be a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder which in turn can have:
  • the spacing mechanism can be an upward/downward moving element having:
  • the third actuating means can be a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder which in turn can have:
  • the machine of the invention can further comprise removing means for dislodging an ingot from a mould.
  • Said removing means can be selected from:
  • the transport means can be selected from an endless chain, an endless belt or combinations thereof.
  • the exit level SA can be in a position selected from above, below and at a same height as the transport level T.
  • Figures 1A and 1B show that the machine for multiple demoulding of ingots (2, 2') has:
  • Figure 1A illustrates how the conveyor chain for moulds (1) is driven by a sprocket (10) and in which the guide (1'):
  • the supporting mechanism (3) is a retractable element having:
  • Figure 1A shows that the first actuating means (34) are a cylinder selected from a hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder having:
  • Figures 2A and 2B shows that the lowering device (6) is an upward/downward moving element having:
  • the second actuating means (64) are a cylinder selected from a hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder having:
  • Figure 3 shows that the spacing mechanism (4) is a rocking element having:
  • the third actuating means (44) are a cylinder selected from a hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder having:
  • the spacing mechanism (4) can be an upward/downward moving element, having:
  • the third actuating means can be a cylinder selected from a hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder having:
  • the machine further comprises removing means for dislodging an ingot (2, 2') from a mould (1).
  • the removing means are selected from:
  • the transport means (5) can be seen, which can be selected from an endless chain, an endless belt and combinations thereof.
  • Figure 4 shows the exit level SA; this exit level can be in a position selected from above, below and at a same height as the transport level T (the case depicted in Figure 4 ).
