Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of casting equipment technology, specifically to a demolding device for casting pump and valve parts. Background Technology
[0002] Pump and valve castings are core components in fluid transportation, pressure control and other fields. Their structures often contain complex internal cavities and precision interfaces, which require extremely high casting precision and surface quality. The demolding process is a key step in the casting process of pump and valve castings. At present, the mainstream demolding method for pump and valve castings in the industry is manual demolding.

For large or complex pump and valve castings, manual demolding is even more difficult due to their weight, resulting in extremely poor applicability. In particular, since most castings are pre-embedded in lost foam casting and are located in the housing, they are even more difficult to remove. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the box and the outer box are separated or connected by the lifting of the lifting platform.
[0013] Preferably, when the main body of the first hydraulic cylinder extends, it drives the left end of the tilting arm to descend, thereby causing the lifting platform to rise and move along the lifting column.
[0014] The present invention provides a demolding device for pump and valve castings, which has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. This invention adopts a modular design, with the load-bearing structure, limiting structure, loading unit, and detachment structure assembled by detachable connections such as bolts and sleeves. Each component is independently formed and has a clear functional division, which not only greatly reduces the difficulty of equipment installation and disassembly, but also facilitates targeted maintenance and replacement of vulnerable parts, effectively reducing maintenance downtime and lowering equipment operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, the overall structure is simple and compact. The suspended assembly of the crossbeam and the recycling bin ensures structural stability and saves installation space, adapting to different scales of production scenario layouts.
[0016] 2. The initial separation of molds, castings, and molding sand can be completed without any manual intervention, completely changing the traditional manual prying demolding operation mode. The first hydraulic cylinder drives the bearing structure to realize the automatic separation and docking of the loading unit. The electric slide rail controls the limit structure to complete the precise fixation of the loading unit. The second hydraulic cylinder drives the release structure to realize the automatic ejection of the casting. The fully mechanized operation not only avoids the problem of difficult control of the force of manual operation, but also solves the pain point that manual demolding of large and complex pump valve castings is impossible. It greatly reduces the labor intensity of operators and avoids the safety hazards that may be caused by manual operation.
[0017] 3. Through the linkage design of the tilting arm and lifting unit in the load-bearing structure, the loading unit (bottom box and outer box) can be smoothly and accurately separated and docked. The force is uniform during the separation process, which will not cause bumps or damage to the castings, thus ensuring the surface quality and casting accuracy of the castings. At the same time, the device integrates multiple processes such as molding sand filling, casting, demolding, casting ejection, and molding sand recycling into one unit, eliminating the need for additional transfer or auxiliary equipment. This significantly shortens the production cycle of a single casting and greatly improves the efficiency of batch production, especially suitable for the production needs of multiple batches and large scale of pump and valve castings.
[0018] 4. The cross-shaped moving groove of the second limiting frame in the limiting structure can realize multi-directional position adjustment of the first slide block. Combined with the telescopic adjustment of the tightening screw, it can adapt to the fixing of box bottoms of different sizes and specifications. The release structure can realize multi-dimensional position calibration of the second hydraulic cylinder body and the push plate in front and behind, up and down through the adjustment groove of the shift frame, the lifting groove of the height adjustment frame, and the height adjustment of the adjustment screw. It can accurately adapt to the ejection requirements of pump and valve castings of different structures and sizes. Whether it is a small and medium-sized simple structure casting or a large, complex internal cavity and precision interface pump and valve casting, stable demolding can be achieved, effectively broadening the application range of the equipment and reducing the equipment investment cost for the production of multi-specification products.
[0019] 5. The recycling bin, along with the sand leakage port of the lifting platform and the mesh structure of the sand removal platform, form a closed-loop recycling system. During the demolding process, the molding sand scattered can fall directly into the recycling bin through the sand leakage port. The molding sand remaining on the surface of the casting is further filtered and recycled by the sand removal platform, which greatly improves the reuse rate of molding sand resources and reduces raw material waste. At the same time, the fan under the sand removal platform can quickly cool the casting after demolding, which not only shortens the subsequent cooling time of the casting, but also blows away the fine sand particles attached to the surface of the casting, improves the surface cleanliness of the casting, lays a good foundation for subsequent processing, and indirectly ensures the quality stability of the final product.
[0020] In summary, this invention, through the sealed fitting design of the loading unit and the precise pushing design of the detachment structure, allows the molding sand to automatically scatter and be recycled after the bottom of the box separates from the outer box, and the casting is smoothly moved out by the directional pushing of the pusher plate. This completely solves the problem of difficult casting removal in the lost foam casting process, expands the application scenarios of the device in special casting processes, and provides effective technical support for the casting production of pump and valve castings with complex internal cavities and precision structures.

The vertical frame 12 and the lifting column 16 are used for the connection between the first mounting frame 11 and the second mounting frame 17. The lifting column 16 carries the lifting unit 10 to move up and down. Through the telescopic extension of the first hydraulic cylinder body 19, the two ends of the tilting arm 14 are tilted, thereby applying force to the lifting unit 10. When the first hydraulic cylinder body 19 extends, it drives the left end of the tilting arm 14 to descend, thereby driving the lifting platform 101 to rise and move along the lifting column 16.
[0034] More specifically, the load-bearing structure 1 is the core driving component for the device to separate or connect the loading unit 3.

The height adjustment frame 43 is movably inserted into the adjustment groove 5 of the shift frame 41 and can move back and forth. The locking bolt 44 is used to tighten the upper wall of the shift frame 41 to lock the position, which can be adapted to the loading unit 3 and the internal castings at different front and rear positions. The cylinder seat 45 is movably embedded in the lifting groove 6 at the other end of the height adjustment frame 43. By turning the adjustment screws 46 at the four corners of the cylinder seat 45, the cylinder seat 45 can be driven to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the overall height and ensuring a precise fit with the loading unit 3.
[0043] Its detailed connection method is a well-known technology in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.
[0044] First, fasten the housing 32 in the loading unit 3 onto the bottom 31 of the housing, fit the guide seat 33 together, and then screw the alignment bolt 34 into the middle of the guide seat 33 on the side wall of the housing 32, so as to penetrate the middle of the guide seat 33 on the side wall of the bottom 31 of the housing and achieve a mating fit.
[0045] Then, the loading unit 3 is placed in the middle of the lifting platform 101 in the lifting unit 10, and the extension of the first hydraulic cylinder body 19 in the bearing structure 1 is initiated. The two ends of the first hydraulic cylinder body 19 are movably connected to the second set of shafts 15 and the third set of shafts 18 respectively, so that the angle can be changed as the tilting arm 14 flips on the first set of shafts 13 during the extension drive of the first hydraulic cylinder body 19.
[0046] The first hydraulic cylinder body 19 extends, causing the left end of the tilting arm 14 to descend, thereby raising the right end. The right end of the tilting arm 14 is connected to the fourth set of shafts 102 on the lifting platform 101 through the adapter claw 103, thereby driving the lifting platform 101 to rise along the lifting column 16 under force.
[0047] The third set of shafts 18 is located between the two ends of the second mounting frame 17, which is supported by the vertical frame 12 and the lifting column 16. The second mounting frame 17 fits above the first mounting frame 11, and the first mounting frame 11 is suspended above the recycling box 8 by the crossbeam 9, which is conducive to the recycling of molding sand. The second set of shafts 15 is located between the left ends of the tilting arms 14 and serves as a connection, so that the main body of the first hydraulic cylinder 19 can drive the two tilting arms 14 to tilt synchronously.
[0048] After the lifting platform 101 raises the loading unit 3, the electric slide rail 23 on the first limiting frame 21 in the limiting structure 2 can be activated, which drives the clamping arm 24 to move relative to clamp the sleeve 32, so that the sleeve 32 is centered and fixed. Then, according to the size of the sleeve 32, the first slide block 25 is moved in the moving groove 7 of the second limiting frame 22 to adjust its position. After adjustment, the first slide block 25 is fixed by the fixing bolt 26. At this time, the top tightening screw 27 can be rotated to pass through the first slide block 25 and tighten the bottom of the box 31 on both sides. Finally, the alignment bolt 34 is removed to complete the positioning and placement of the bottom of the box 31 and the sleeve 32.
[0049] Secondly, according to the casting size, install the shifting frame 41 in the detachment structure 4, and clamp the shifting frame 41 in the middle of the second limit frame 22. Then, tighten and fix it with the mounting bolts 42. Next, move the height adjustment frame 43 along the adjustment groove 5 to make the telescopic end of the second hydraulic cylinder body 47 correspond to the middle of the casting and fix it with the locking bolts 44. Finally, according to the casting height, adjust the cylinder seat 45 to move up and down in the lifting groove 6 of the jump frame, and fix the cylinder seat 45 with the adjustment screw 46 to complete the corresponding calibration settings.
[0050] At this point, some molding sand is injected into the mating sleeve 32 and the bottom 31 of the sleeve to fill the bottom 31 of the sleeve; then the lost foam is placed in the middle of the sleeve 32 to ensure that the casting is separated from the sleeve 32 when the sleeve 32 is separated from the bottom 31; once the lost foam is covered with molding sand, it can be used for casting.
[0051] After casting, the first hydraulic cylinder body 19 retracts, causing the bottom of the mold box 31 to descend and detach from the sleeve box 32. The sleeve box 32 is held and fixed above by the clamping arm 24. As the bottom of the mold box 31 detaches, the molding sand falls into the recovery box 8. At this time, the casting is located on the bottom of the mold box 31 by its own weight. The second hydraulic cylinder body 47 in the detachment structure 4 can be activated, causing the push plate 48 to move to the right and push the casting to the sand removal table 104. After the molding sand is filtered again by the sand removal table 104, the casting stops at the fan 105 and is cooled by the fan 105, completing the automatic demolding.
[0052] For reuse in casting, simply connect the bottom 31 of the casting box to the outer casing 32 again, and then add lost foam and inject molding sand.
[0053] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
