The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. All the features disclosed in this specification may be replaced by similar other or alternative features performing similar or same or equivalent purposes. Thus, unless expressly stated otherwise, they all are within the scope of present invention. Various modifications or substitutions are also possible without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention. Therefore, it is to be understood that this specification has been described by way of the most preferred embodiments and for the purposes of illustration and not limitation.
The present invention provides a safe and efficient automatic pressure loading slide gate mechanism. It includes a fixed frame that is installed horizontally; at the upper end surface of this fixed frame there is a sliding frame at the bottom and an opening/closing frame at the top and in the middle of this opening/closing frame there is a cavity where the lower nozzle is installed. The lower end surface of the fixed frame is connected to the upper nozzle and at the lower end surface of the sliding frame there is a primary recess, and the secondary recess is provided on the upper end surface of the fixed frame. In the primary recess and the secondary recess, a primary sliding block and a secondary sliding block are provided respectively which can move relatively to each other and a primary casting hole is provided in the primary sliding block and a secondary casting hole is provided in the secondary sliding block.
Boxes are provided at both sides of the opening/closing frame and at the upper end surface of the boxes are spring slots provided in which multiple springs are uniformly distributed. A spring pressing plate is provided at the upper end of the boxes and the spring pressing plate can move up and down in the spring slot. A pressing arm is vertically installed in the spring slot and pressing arm has one of its ends beneath the box along the direction of its length and the other one above the spring pressing plate.
Further, the spring pressing plat is connected with the pressing arm through nuts and a pressing head is provided at the end of the pressing arm which is far from the spring pressing plate, where a V-shape opening is provided in the pressing head horizontally and the fixed frame is just below pressing head and provided with mounting grooves. A pressing shaft is provided in the mounting groove horizontally and the pressing shaft gears to the V-shape opening and is fixed to it.
A slideway is provided on the upper end surface of the sliding frame and pin holes are provided on the opening/closing frame above the slideway, and a stop pin which can move in the slideway is provided inside the pin hole.
When the pressing head is in the first working position, namely when the pressing shaft is gearing and fixed to the V-shape opening, centerline of the primary casting hole and that of the secondary casting hole are aligned with each other, at this time, the mechanism is pressed and when the pressing head is in the second working position, namely when the pressing shaft is detached from V-shape opening, the primary casting hole and the secondary casting hole are completely staggered with each other and closed, at this time, the pressing is released.
The present invention has a simple structure that is easy for its installation and disassembly. When the pressing head is in the first working position, namely when the pressing shaft is gearing and fixed to the V-shape opening, centerline of the primary casting hole and that of the secondary casting hole are aligned with each other, at this time, the mechanism is pressed. A downward pulling force generated by the gearing and fixing of the pressing shaft to the V-shape opening forces the pressing arm to drive the spring pressing plate to move downward. Meanwhile, the spring pressing plate applies force on the springs to make them deformed by force and to bring the opening/closing frame and the sliding frame a downward force. Finally, the primary sliding block and the secondary sliding block closely fit with each other to avoid leakage. The delicate structure of the mechanism brings advantages such as reliable and stable sealing and long service life, contributing to a smooth production and much improved working efficiency.
The safe and efficient automatic pressure loading slide gate mechanism has a primary connector provided on the opening/closing frame along the direction of its length and at the end of the sliding frame which is close to the primary
connector is a secondary connector provided as an extension. One end of the fixed frame is extended to a hydraulic cylinder base, on which is a hydraulic cylinder mounted; the stretching end of the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the secondary connector; a mounting table is on the hydraulic cylinder.
