Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal casting devices, and specifically to a casting device and method for producing high-quality valve castings. Background Art
[0002] Valve castings are gate valves cast from metal steel into castings for processing, and are mainly used as regulating and intercepting devices in pipeline systems. During the production and processing of valve castings, in order to ensure the sealing performance and quality of valve castings, casting operations of metal parts are generally used to complete the production operations. After the valve castings are cast and cooled, operations such as demolding and grinding are performed on the valve castings to obtain finished valve castings.
[0003] The existing Chinese patent application with the publication number CN118720108A discloses a demolding device for a mold in metal part processing, including a forming box. A connecting plate is hermetically and slidably connected inside the forming box. A lifting screw rod is rotatably connected to the bottom inside the forming box. A lifting nut is threadedly connected to the lifting screw rod, and the upper end of the lifting nut is fixedly connected with a plurality of lifting rods. One end of the lifting rod far from the lifting nut is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate. In this invention, by setting the lifting screw rod, lifting nut and lifting rod, when demolding is required, the lifting screw rod can be rotated by a servo drive motor, so that the lifting nut can push the lifting rod and the connecting plate to move upward. Compared with the demolding method using the elastic force of a spring, this device can provide more demolding force, so that the formed metal part can be smoothly demolded.
[0004] However, the demolding device has the following defects in specific use: 1. When the existing demolding device demolds the cast metal parts (including but not limited to: valve castings) after casting, generally, the driving source is used to drive the lifting rod to move up and down, squeeze the castings inside the mold and drive the castings to move upward, and remove the castings after casting from the inside of the lower mold base. However, when actually performing the above demolding operation, since the castings have just cooled down, there is a large traction force between the castings and the materials inside the lower mold base. The lifting rod requires a large extrusion force to remove it from the inside of the lower mold base, which has high requirements for and causes great damage to the driving source. At the same time, the large lifting force is also likely to cause pits on the surface of the metal castings, which instead affects the quality of the castings at this time; 2. When the existing casting device pours the melted metal material into the inside of the mold through a pipeline, it is easy to cause problems such as blockage and slow feeding speed of the metal material when entering the mold due to the setting of the pipeline inlet and its own structural shape. At the same time, the internal void cracks of the castings after casting are large, there are many bubbles, and the quality of the finished castings is low. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The present invention also provides a casting method for producing high-quality valve castings, including the following steps: S1. Fabrication of internal and external molds: Fabricate a casting replica model according to the part drawing, and use a suitable metal material. The quality of the model directly affects the subsequent accuracy and surface quality of the casting. Then, use the model to construct a mold in a sand box to determine the external shape of the casting and obtain a finished casting mold. S2. Melting of casting materials: Melt the metal material and adjust the composition inside the metal material. Strictly control the melting temperature, chemical composition, and gas content. Then, pour the melted metal material into the inside of the casting mold to perform the casting operation of the casting. S3. Cooling, solidification, and demolding treatment of the casting: The metal cools and solidifies in the casting mold to form a casting. The cooled metal casting realizes the demolding operation of the casting through the operation of the vibration demolding mechanism. Compared with the prior art, the above one or more technical solutions have the following beneficial effects: 1. In the casting device and method for producing high-quality valve castings, when directly demolding the completely cast invention casting, start the first driving source to drive the one-way ratchet to rotate in the reverse direction, drive the demolding head to move up and down (reciprocate), lift and raise the casting located inside the mold, and realize the direct demolding operation of the casting. When direct demolding is difficult due to the adhesion between the casting and the mold, start the first driving source to drive the one-way ratchet to rotate in the forward direction. On the one hand, it can make the demolding head return to the initial position, leaving enough vibration time for the subsequent movement and demolding of the demolding head. On the other hand, it can drive a plurality of collision blocks to knock and vibrate multiple positions on the inner wall of the casting box, accelerating the separation of the casting and the mold inside the casting box, and ensuring that the demolding head can more easily eject the casting. And the above mold demolding operation does not require much extrusion and ejection force, and is not easy to leave pits and depressions on the surface of the casting, ensuring the quality of the casting; In addition, in the present invention, bubbles in the mold can be effectively reduced during vibration, thereby reducing the pitted surface phenomenon on the surface of the casting and increasing the smoothness of the casting. 2. In the casting device and method for producing high-quality valve castings, through the design of the exhaust holes inside the casting lower die base and the casting upper die base, on the one hand, the air in the mold cavity can be discharged during the casting process, avoiding poor forming caused by gas compression. It can also greatly reduce the injection pressure, injection time, holding pressure time, and clamping pressure, making the forming of valve castings easier from difficult. On the other hand, it can play a certain role in promoting the diffusion of alloy elements in the casting, providing a diffusion channel for alloy elements, making it easier for alloy elements to diffuse from high-concentration areas to low-concentration areas, which helps to make the internal composition of the casting more uniform and improve the quality of the casting; 3. In the casting device and method for producing high-quality valve castings, through the casting pipes in multiple directions and positions inside the casting box and the casting mold, on the one hand, the efficiency of pouring the molten metal material into the inside of the casting mold during casting can be improved. On the other hand, the casting pipes at multiple positions can ensure that the molten metal material flows more uniformly in the casting cavity, reducing the problems of poor flow or local overheating of the molten metal material in the casting cavity, and ensuring the effect of the casting mold in casting and forming the internal casting; 4. In the casting device and method for producing high-quality valve castings, through the two feeding pipes and casting pipes with different slopes, on the one hand, it can cooperate with the feeding hopper to increase the feeding speed of the molten metal material. On the other hand, it can reduce the damage to the casting inlays inside the mold caused by the too-fast feeding speed when the molten metal material is feeding, ensuring the quality of the casting. In addition, the spiral feeding groove inside the feeding hopper can ensure that the molten metal material flows spirally, effectively reducing the stagnation and blockage of the molten metal material in the hopper, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of feeding, and ensuring that the molten metal material is evenly distributed in the feeding hopper, avoiding the problems of poor feeding and blockage caused by accumulation; Brief Description of the Drawings

[0021] In the present invention, a plurality of L-shaped baffles 301 are installed at the eccentric position of the top of the upper support 30. The casting box 20 is installed and positioned inside the inner side of the L-shaped baffles 301. Among them, the left and right sides of the inner wall of the casting box 20 protrude inward and form inner protrusions 201.

The quality of the model directly affects the subsequent accuracy and surface quality of the casting. After that, use the model to construct a mold in the sand box to determine the external shape of the casting, and obtain the finished casting mold 50. S2. Melting of casting materials: Melt the metal material and adjust the composition inside the metal material, strictly control the melting temperature, chemical composition, and gas content. After that, pour the melted metal material into the interior of the casting mold 50 to carry out the casting operation of the casting. S3. Cooling, solidification, and demolding treatment of the casting: The metal cools and solidifies in the casting mold 50 to form a casting. The cooled metal casting realizes the demolding operation of the casting through the operation of the vibration demolding mechanism 40. Embodiment 2
[0040] On the basis of the above embodiment, it is found during use that when pouring the casting material into the interior of the casting cavity 503 through the casting pipe 505, some metal materials (after melting) are likely to accumulate inside the casting pipe 505. At this time, although the subsequent material extrusion ensures that this part of the accumulated material will be extruded into the interior of the casting cavity 503, the gaps between the metal materials located inside the casting cavity 503 are relatively large, and there are more air bubbles inside the casting after casting, and the quality of the casting is poor.
[0041] Therefore, specifically refer to Figure 12, the casting pipe 505 is set to be inclined, and a blanking pipe 60 is welded to the top of the inclined casting pipe 505. The blanking pipe 60 is set to be inclined, and the inclination angle of the blanking pipe 60 is greater than that of the casting pipe 505. Among them, a blanking funnel 601 is welded to the top of the blanking pipe 60, and a spiral blanking groove 602 is formed on the inner wall of the blanking funnel 601.
[0042] In the casting device for producing high-quality valve castings of the present invention, through the casting pipe 505 and the blanking pipe 60 with different inclination directions, on the one hand, the speed of the metal material (after melting) during blanking can be increased, ensuring that the molten metal can flow evenly in the mold, reducing the internal stress of the molten metal during movement inside the mold, and improving the structural integrity of the casting. On the other hand, the two-stage discharging pipes can reduce the impact force of the metal material colliding with the casting cavity 503 while ensuring the blanking speed, and ensure that the inner wall material of the casting cavity 503 is not damaged when the metal material is blanking. Among them, the design of the spiral blanking groove 602 inside the blanking funnel 601 enables the metal material to form a continuous spiral flow inside the blanking funnel 601. This flow pattern can effectively reduce the stagnation and blockage of the material in the funnel, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of blanking, and enabling the metal material to be evenly distributed inside the blanking funnel 601, avoiding local accumulation and over-concentration, and avoiding the problems of poor blanking and blockage caused by local accumulation.
[0043] Limited to this, any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, making equivalent replacements or changes, should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
