[0002] Casting is the process of melting metal into liquid that meets certain requirements and pouring it into a mold. After cooling, solidification and cleaning, a casting with a predetermined shape, size and performance is obtained. Sand casting is a process in which a mold is made with molding sand and then poured. Sand casting is a basic process in casting production and is widely used because the mold manufacturing is simple, the molding sand used is widely available and low in price, and it has good adaptability to single, batch and mass production of castings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the technical means, technical features, utility model objectives and technical effects achieved by the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further explained below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a sand box turning device for a casting production line includes a conveying track 1, a gantry 3, a turning frame 6, a sand box 7 and a material receiving box 4. The conveying track 1, the sand box 7 and the material receiving box 4 are all installed on the ground or infrastructure inside the gantry 3. Specifically, the conveying track 1 is located at the front side of the gantry 3 and is used to convey the sand box 2. The sand box 2 can move on the conveying track 1 to convey the carried castings and molding sand. A crane 5 is installed on the top of the gantry 3. The crane 5 is a conventional method. The specific structure of the application is not described here. A sling 8 is connected to the hanging part of the crane 5, which is used to lift the sand casting box 2 that has been transported to the place, and to realize the flipping of the sand casting box 2 by cooperating with the flipping frame 6 installed in the middle of the gantry 3. The sand falling box 7 is located on one side of the conveying track 1 and below the flipping frame 6. It is used to catch the castings and molding sand that fall after the sand casting box 2 is flipped, and to complete the separation of the castings and molding sand. The receiving box 4 is located on the side of the sand falling box 7 away from the conveying track 1, and is used to receive the separated castings.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a suspension shaft 21 and a support shaft 22 are connected to both sides of the foundry box 2. The suspension shaft 21 is located at the upper part of the side wall of the foundry box 2. The axis of the suspension shaft 21 coincides with the central plane of the foundry box 2 to ensure that the foundry box 2 is stably lifted. The support shaft 22 is eccentrically distributed with the suspension shaft 21. The support shaft 22 is located obliquely below the suspension shaft 21 and close to the lower corner of the side wall of the foundry box 2. The suspension shafts 21 on both sides and the support shafts 22 on both sides are coaxially arranged. The foundry box 2 is stably lifted by the suspension shaft 21, and the eccentric structure formed by the support shaft 22 and the suspension shaft 21 enables the foundry box 2 to be flipped with the support shaft 22 as the fulcrum.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, two support rods 61 are connected to the flip frame 6, and the two support rods 61 are perpendicular to the flip frame 6 and are spaced apart. The ends of the support rods 61 extend toward the direction of the conveying track 1. The spacing between the two support rods 61 is greater than the width of the foundry box 2 and less than the distance between the outer end surfaces of the two support shafts 22, so that the foundry box 2 can be placed between the two support rods 61, and the two support shafts 22 can be supported on the two support rods 61. Grooves 62 that match the support shafts 22 are machined on the surfaces of the support rods 61. After the foundry box 2 is lifted and placed on the support rods 61, the support shafts 22 fall into the grooves 62 for positioning. Two spaced apart grooves are also installed on the flip frame 6. The L-shaped positioning rod 63 of the cloth, the distance between the two L-shaped positioning rods 63 is smaller than the width of the sand casting box 2, the vertical section of the L-shaped positioning rod 63 is vertically connected to the turning frame 6, and the horizontal section of the L-shaped positioning rod 63 extends in the direction of the conveying track 1, and a protective pad 64 is installed at the end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped positioning rod 63. The protective pad 64 is made of soft material. During the process of the sand casting box 2 being lifted and moved, the moving position of the sand casting box 2 can be limited by the L-shaped positioning rod 63. The protective pad 64 made of soft material can avoid hard collision between the sand casting box 2 and the L-shaped positioning rod 63, prevent the surface of the sand casting box 2 from being damaged by bumps, and increase the service life of the sand casting box 2.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the sand box 7 is processed into a structure with an open top and one side, and an inclined blanking plate 71 is installed inside the sand box 7. The inclination direction of the blanking plate 71 is downward from the closed side wall of the sand box 7 to the open side wall. A number of evenly distributed sand holes 72 are processed on the blanking plate 71, and a conical sand receiving box 73 is connected to the bottom of the sand box 7. The sand box 2 is turned over to pour the casting and molding sand into the sand box 7 from the opening on the top. The casting and molding sand slide along the inclined blanking plate 71 under the action of gravity. During the sliding process, the molding sand falls from the sand falling hole 72 into the sand receiving box 73, and the casting falls from the opening on one side of the sand box 7 into the receiving box 4. The conical sand receiving box 73 facilitates the collection of molding sand.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the sling 8 includes a cross bar 81 and a hanging plate 83. A lifting ear 82 is installed on the top of the cross bar 81 for connecting with the hanging parts of the crane 5. Two hanging plates 83 are symmetrically connected to the two ends of the cross bar 81. The lower end of the hanging plate 83 is processed with a hook 84 that is compatible with the suspension shaft 21, which is used to hook the suspension shaft 21 to lift the sand box 2.

[0032] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0033] When in use, the foundry box 2 carrying the casting and the molding sand is transported to the inside of the gantry 3 through the conveying track 1, the crane 5 is started, and the hanging parts of the crane 5 drive the hanger 8 to descend, so that the two hanging plates 83 are respectively located on both sides of the foundry box 2, and are hooked on the two hanging shafts 21 through the hooks 84 on the hanging plates 83. The foundry box 2 is lifted by the crane 5 and separated from the conveying track 1. The crane 5 drives the foundry box 2 to move toward the flip frame 6, and the foundry box 2 moves between the two struts 61. The rear part of the foundry box 2 abuts against the protective pad 64 at the end of the horizontal section of the L-shaped positioning rod 63, limiting the moving position of the foundry box 2. After moving into position, the crane 5 places the foundry box 2 on the strut 61, and the support shaft 22 falls into the groove 62 on the surface of the strut 61 to realize the flip positioning;

[0034] The hanging parts of the traveling crane 5 descend, and during the descent process, the hook of the hanging plate 83 maintains the force on the hanging shaft 21. Due to the eccentric structure of the hanging shaft 21 and the supporting shaft 22, the foundry box 2 flips around the supporting shaft 22 under the action of its own gravity, and the castings and molding sand in the foundry box 2 are poured onto the blanking plate 71 in the sand falling box 7. Due to the inclined arrangement of the blanking plate 71, the castings and molding sand slide along the blanking plate 71 under the action of gravity. During the sliding process, most of the molding sand falls from the sand falling hole 72 into the sand receiving box 73 below, and the casting slides from the open position on one side of the sand falling box 7 and falls into the receiving box 4, thereby realizing the separation of the casting and the molding sand and the recovery of the molding sand.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the content of the patent application scope of the utility model should belong to the technical scope of the utility model.
