This invention discloses an intelligent handling device for frozen sand molds with
environmental sensing capabilities, suitable for frozen
casting production lines. The device includes a walking mechanism, a support and lifting mechanism, a sand mold clamping and tilting mechanism, an
environmental sensing module, and a central control module. The walking mechanism is the power source for the entire
machine's movement and consists of a frame
chassis, drive wheels, and casters. The support and lifting mechanism consists of an electric cylinder, a
pressure sensor, and a crossbeam. The sand mold clamping and tilting mechanism consists of a linear module, clamping arms, clamping plates, a load-bearing shaft, a
copper sleeve, a mounting bracket, strain gauges, a hollow rotating platform, and a
drive motor. The
environmental sensing module is mounted on the frame of the handling device. The block consists of a 3D
dot matrix scanning sensor, a
machine vision camera, and a thermal imager. The central control module collects data from pressure sensors, strain gauges, and environmental sensing modules in real time for analysis and decision-making. It generates the current optimal working parameters and adjustment parameters through methods such as
coupling mapping and digital twins, and feeds them back to each mechanism for real-
time control to optimize the handling process. This invention solves the problem of large-scale frozen sand handling and turning in the molding process in a cryogenic
casting production line, improves the molding efficiency and accuracy of sand molds, greatly reduces manpower, and plays a role in cost reduction and efficiency improvement for the entire cryogenic
casting production line, which is in line with the national trend of developing green casting.
