Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a molten metal recovery transport vehicle separated from a float floated from a melting furnace for various metals such as aluminum and alloys thereof, and a method for recovering a metal solidified using the same.

  Generally, when a metal such as aluminum or its alloy is refined and produced from ore, or when a metal is taken out from waste materials containing metal scrap or metal, the metal is melted in a high-temperature furnace. Non-metallic substances (mainly oxides) are formed in the part as floats called dross, noro, slag and the like. Such floats are scraped and discarded from the melting furnace before accumulating to a certain extent. However, since the metal melt is mixed in the float to a few percent to several tens of percent, effective utilization of resources It is important to separate and recover the mixed metal from the float from both sides of economy and economy.

  Therefore, conventionally, as a means for separating and recovering the metal in the float that has been scraped from the melting furnace, a stationary separation method in which the float is placed in a separation tank and the molten metal is separated by a specific gravity difference (for example, Patent Document 1). ), Squeezing extraction method for squeezing the molten metal by squeezing the float (for example, Patent Document 2), agitation separation method for separating the molten metal by agitation with a stirring blade by stirring the float suspended in the treatment tank (for example, patent Document 3), a crushing separation method (for example, Patent Document 4) or the like is employed in which a floating metal housed in a processing tank is crushed while stirring with a stirring blade to precipitate and separate molten metal. The molten metal separated from the float by these methods is generally poured into a receiving tank and collected, and after cooling and solidification, the molten metal is taken out from the receiving tank, and is again put into a melting furnace to be melted.

  FIG. 6 shows a general method for recovering the molten metal separated from the float by the crushing separation method. In the figure, reference numeral 21 denotes a separation tank containing a stirring blade (not shown), and a pair of left and right via a pivot 24 fixed on the front side having the outflow port 21a on a carriage 23 that can move on the rail 22. It is mounted in a state of being pivotally supported by the support columns 25, 25. Then, after the floating float accommodated in the separation tank 21 is stirred and crushed and the molten metal mixed therein is settled and separated, the lever 24a fixed to the pivot 24 is operated by the extension operation of the telescopic rod 26a of the hydraulic cylinder 26. By rotating and thus tilting the separation tank 21 forward as shown in the phantom line in the figure, the molten metal that has settled and separated flows out from the outflow port 21a and enters the receiving tank 27a of the transport vehicle 27 that waits downward. Pour and collect and transport to the required site. In addition, it may replace with the transport vehicle 27 and may use it in the state which mounted the simple receiving tank on the trolley | bogie, the pallet, etc.

It is set as the structure which the molten metal accommodating part 5 has the inner bottom shape (lower part 5a) dented in the arc shape in the width direction.

  The invention of claim 3 is configured so that the moving wheels 3A, 3B and the push / pull handle 4 are attached to the molten metal receiving tank 2 in the collection and transportation vehicle 1 of the molten metal M of the first or second aspect. .

  The method for recovering a solidified metal according to the invention of claim 4 uses the metal recovery vehicle 1 for recovering the molten metal M according to any one of claims 1 to 3 and flows the molten metal into the molten metal receiving tank 2. Prior to solidification of M, a handle material 7 made of the same kind of metal as the molten metal M is inserted into the molten metal M of each molten metal housing part 5 in a protruding manner, and the ingot G after solidification of the molten metal M is obtained. Is grasped by the protruding portion 7 a of the handle material 7 and is taken out from each molten metal storage portion 5.

  Next, effects of the present invention will be described with reference numerals in the drawings. According to the recovery and transportation vehicle 1 for the molten metal M according to the invention of claim 1, the molten metal receiving tank 2 is partitioned into a plurality of molten metal accommodating portions 5, so that the molten metal flowed into the molten metal receiving tank 2. After M is solidified, the metal lump can be taken out as an ingot G of 5 units of the molten metal container. Since the ingot G corresponds to the size of the molten metal accommodating portion 5, it is much lighter than the total amount of the molten metal M accommodated in the molten metal receiving tank 2, and each molten metal accommodating portion 5 is higher. Since it has a space shape that expands toward the side, it can be easily taken out from each molten metal storage part 5 with little labor and is easy to handle after taking out.

Since it has a bottom shape (lower part 5a), when taking out the ingot G solidified in each molten metal accommodating part 5, a force is applied to the ingot G so as to be swung in the width direction of the molten metal accommodating part 5 Thus, the bottom surface side can be easily released from the inner bottom of the molten metal storage portion 5, and the ingot G can be taken out more easily.

  According to the invention of claim 3, since the moving wheels 3A and 3B and the push / pull handle 4 are attached to the molten metal receiving tank 2, it is structurally very simple and can be manufactured at low cost, and the recovery vehicle 1 The whole is easy to handle as a single object.

  According to the method for recovering a solidified metal according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, before the molten metal M that has flowed into the molten metal receiving tank 2 of the recovery vehicle 1 is solidified, the handle material 7 is attached to each molten metal storage portion 5. Since the ingot G after solidification is taken out from each molten metal accommodating portion 5, the protruding portion 7 a of the handle material 7 is grasped as a clue, and is inserted from the molten metal accommodating portion 5. The ingot G can be easily detached and taken out, and the handle material 7 is made of the same type of metal as the molten metal M. Therefore, when the ingot G is reused as a metal raw material, the handle material 7 is put together in the melting furnace. Can be thrown in. Moreover, since there is no shape restriction as the handle material 7, for example, die-cast surplus materials and various waste materials can be used.

  Hereinafter, a molten metal recovery transport vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention and a method for recovering a solidified metal using the recovery transport vehicle will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the molten metal collection transport vehicle 1 includes a rectangular molten metal receiving tank 2 opened upward and left and right pairs attached to the lower surface side of the front and rear portions of the molten metal receiving tank 2. Wheel 3 </ b> A, 3 </ b> B, and a push / pull handle 4 fixed on the outer surface side of the rear end plate 2 b of the molten metal receiving tank 2.

  The molten metal receiving tank 2 has a spatial shape that expands toward the upper side as a whole by tilting the front and rear end plates 2a, 2b and the left and right side plates 2c, 2d as a whole, and its lower side is a plurality along the left-right direction. It is divided into a plurality (six in the figure) of rectangular molten metal accommodating parts 5... By five (in the figure, five) parallel partition walls 6. And each molten metal accommodating part 5 is formed with the pipe material which the lower part 5a halved, and has an inner bottom shape dented in the circular arc shape in the width direction, and both upper parts 5b and 5b inclined outside the partition wall 6. It is formed of a band plate and has a spatial shape that expands toward the upper side as a whole.

  The front and rear end plates 2a and 2b and the left and right side plates 2c and 2d and the bottom plate 2e of the molten metal receiving tank 2, the pipe material of the lower portion 5a of each molten metal storage portion 5, and the strips of the upper side portions 5b and 5b are all SS steel or the like. These joints are welded to each other.

  The front moving wheel 3A is fixed to the bottom plate 2e of the molten metal receiving tank 2 by a fixed mounting bracket 31 and the rear moving wheel 3B is fixed by an eccentric swivel mounting bracket 32, respectively. Further, the push / pull handle 4 has a U-shaped frame shape in which a round pipe 4b and a strip 4c are installed between upper ends of left and right vertical rods 4a, 4a made of an angle material.

The collection transport vehicle 1 is arranged so that the molten metal storage part 5 at the end of the molten metal receiving tank 2 comes directly under the outlet 21a when the separation tank 21 is tilted. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the separation tank 21 is tilted to cause the molten metal M to flow out from the outlet 21a, and the collection transport vehicle 1 is intermittently moved to the rear, whereby the molten metal storage portion 5 on the rear side. The molten metal M is sequentially filled in a range not exceeding the partition wall 6. Thus, when the acceptance of the molten metal M is completed, as shown in FIG. 4, a part of the handle material 7 made of the same kind of metal as the molten metal M is contained in the molten metal M before solidification in each molten metal storage portion 5. Put it in a protruding state.

  Next, if necessary, the collection transport vehicle 1 is manually pushed to the vicinity of the melting furnace, and when the molten metal M accommodated in the molten metal receiving tank 2 is solidified by natural cooling, the solidified metal in each molten metal accommodating portion 5. If the force is applied so that the protruding portion 7a of the handle material 7 integrated with the handle 7 is swung in the width direction of the molten metal storage portion 5, the solidified metal can be easily removed from the inner bottom of the molten metal storage portion 5. Since the mold is released, the solidified metal can be easily taken out as an ingot G as shown in FIG.
