[0003] In the traditional injection molding process, the bottom pouring method is often used, with a large number of ceramic tubes connecting the sprue, gating system and ingate.

[0004] This method is not only expensive, but also requires the use of adhesive glue, tape and other consumables during the connection process, which increases production costs and the workload of workers. At the same time, although waste resin sand can be recycled and remanufactured, a large number of broken ceramic pipes cannot be remanufactured and need to be recycled and disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.

[0005] Therefore, the development of an environmentally friendly and economical casting system has become an urgent need in the industry. To address the above issues, a box-type sand core casting system is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a box-type sand core casting system.

[0007] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a sand box and a pouring system, and a sand core box, wherein the sand box is used to stably support the pouring system; The casting system includes a first mold placed into a sand box and passing through a sand core box. The outer side of the sand core box is provided with a plurality of second molds that are installed and connected to the first mold. The sand box has a cavity for forming the casting. The second molds pass through the sand core box and enter the cavity. After the sand is poured into the sand core box and solidified, the sand box is opened, and the first and second molds are pulled out using external mold-pulling tools, so that the channels left by the first and second molds on the sand box and the sand core box respectively form the horizontal runner and the inner runner. The sand box is provided with a sprue that communicates with the ingate; the molten iron enters the mold cavity in sequence through the sprue, ingate and gating, to complete the casting; wherein, the gating is equivalent to a traditional 60 ceramic tube and the ingate is equivalent to the ingate of a traditional 30 ceramic tube.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the sand core box is a square structure with a draft angle, which facilitates the smooth removal of the sand core box from the sand box; and the draft angle is controlled between 1° and 5° to facilitate demolding; the corners of the sand core box are set with rounded transition shapes to prevent stress concentration.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: like Figure 1 and Figure 3 The diagram shown is an embodiment of the box-type sand core casting system provided by the present invention, including: a sand box 1, a casting system, and a sand core box 5, wherein the sand box 1 is used to stably support the casting system; The casting system includes a first mold 2 that is placed into the sand box 1 and passes through the sand core box 5. The outer side of the sand core box 5 is provided with a plurality of second molds 3 that are installed and connected to the first mold 2. The sand box 1 has a cavity 4 for forming castings. The second molds 3 pass through the sand core box 5 and enter the cavity 4. After the sand is released into the sand core box 5 to solidify, the sand box 1 is opened, and the first mold 2 and the second mold 3 are pulled out using external mold-pulling tools, so that the channels left by the first mold 2 and the second mold 3 on the sand box 1 and the sand core box respectively form the horizontal runner 6 and the inner runner 7. The sand box 1 is provided with a straight sprue 8 that communicates with the inner sprue 7; The molten iron is sequentially fed into the mold cavity 4 through the sprue 8, the ingate 7, and the gating 6 to complete the casting process. During casting, the molten metal flows into the ingate 7 and the gating 6 through the sprue 8, and is then evenly distributed into the mold cavity 4 to complete the filling of the casting. This application achieves uniform distribution of molten metal by optimizing the gating channel design, reducing internal defects in the casting, such as porosity and shrinkage, and improving the overall quality of the casting.

[0023] The sand core box 5 is a square structure with a draft angle controlled between 1° and 5°. The corners of the sand core box 5 are designed with rounded transition shapes to prevent stress concentration. During the mold closing and opening process, the draft angle design allows the sand core box 5 to be smoothly removed from the casting, avoiding surface damage to the casting caused by friction. This design improves the surface finish and dimensional accuracy of the casting, reduces the workload of subsequent processing, and lowers production costs.

[0024] The sand box 1 is divided into an upper sand box 101 and a lower sand box 102. During the mold closing and opening process, the upper sand box 101 and the lower sand box 102 are connected by a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism can be a conventional combination of pins and holes. The horizontal sprue 6 is located in the lower sand box 102 to ensure that the molten iron can flow smoothly into the cavity 4. Setting the horizontal sprue 6 in the lower sand box 102 facilitates the layout and operation of the gating system, and at the same time, it is conducive to the smooth flow of molten metal, reduces resistance during the pouring process, and improves pouring efficiency. The upper sand box 101 and the lower sand box 102 are connected by a hydraulic device for mold closing and opening operations, thereby ensuring the stability of mold closing and opening.

[0025] There are two first molds 2, which are interlocked with each other. They can be interlocked with each other through dovetail grooves and high-temperature resistant dovetail blocks, which enhances the stability and reliability between the molds. They are not easily deformed or displaced during the casting process, thus ensuring the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the castings. The two first molds 2 are L-shaped and their ends press against each other. The joint between the two first molds 2 is bonded by a heat insulation layer to ensure sealing and avoid impact on the joint, thereby increasing stability.

[0026] The ingate 7 can be divided into vertical ingate and horizontal ingate. The horizontal ingate is used for castings in which molten iron is poured horizontally. The length of the horizontal ingate is set to 1.5-2 times the width of the casting. The vertical ingate is used for castings in which molten iron is poured vertically. The height of the vertical ingate is set to 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the height of the casting. The number and position of the ingate 7 can be adjusted according to actual needs, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the pouring process.

[0027] The sand core box 5 is integrally formed with the sand mold, eliminating the need for external ceramic tube connections. This integral forming of the sand core box 5 with the sand mold avoids the use of external ceramic tube connections, reduces the use of consumables and the workload during the connection process, lowers production costs, and at the same time improves the sealing and reliability of the casting system.

[0028] It also includes a cover sand core panel 9 located inside the sand core box 5. The cover sand core panel 9 is a fixed-size structure used to cover the sand core box 5 when the upper sand box 101 and the lower sand box 102 are closed. The cover sand core panel is a fixed-size structure (e.g., 50cm high and 100cm wide). The use of the cover sand core panel 9 ensures the sealing of the pouring process and prevents sand leakage and fire from occurring. Before mold closing, the cover plate sand core panel 9 is accurately placed between the sand core boxes 5 through the positioning structure. When the mold is closed, the cover plate sand core panel 9 fits tightly against the sand core box 5 to form a complete inner cavity sealing structure. Before mold closing, the cover plate sand core panel 9 is placed between the sand core boxes 5; when the mold is closed, the cover plate sand core panel 9 fits tightly against the sand core box 5 to form a complete inner cavity sealing structure. This setting enhances the sealing of the inner cavity and prevents leakage and splashing of molten metal during the pouring process; while the fixed size design facilitates standardized production and inventory management, and reduces production costs.

[0029] The top of the sprue 8 is provided with a pouring cup 10. Molten iron enters the sprue 8 through the pouring cup 10. The pouring cup 10 is funnel-shaped. The inner surface of the pouring cup 10 is smoothed and is provided with liquid level marks (to facilitate control of the feed amount). The setting of the pouring cup 10 facilitates the control of the inflow amount and inflow speed of molten iron, making the pouring process more stable and controllable, and improving the accuracy of pouring and the quality of castings.

[0030] This box-type sand core casting system optimizes the design of the casting channel, allowing molten metal to flow smoothly into the mold cavity during the casting process, avoiding eddies and inclusions.

[0031] It is worth noting that: Small pipes can be configured to pour molten iron through the horizontal runner 6, the ingate 7, and the sprue 8. The resin sand-molded runner cavity can be used for molten iron pouring, functioning similarly to traditional ceramic pipes. However, it can form multiple side-outlet side-pouring ports 11, as shown in the figure, corresponding to six side-pouring ports 11. These ports can be inserted into the casting surface, allowing the output end of the small pipe to directly disperse and deliver the poured molten iron to different locations on the casting. This avoids stress concentration caused by passing through a single pipe, which could affect casting performance. Furthermore, it can balance the hardness distribution of the casting, effectively improving casting quality and machinability. This makes the hardness of all parts more uniform, significantly reduces the use of ceramic pipes, effectively lowers production costs, and meets national environmental protection requirements.

[0032] It is worth noting that a circular reinforcing rib structure is provided around the side injection port 11. The circular reinforcing rib structure is embedded inside the second mold 3, which helps to ensure the strength of the side injection port 11 and ensure the casting quality.
