Description

Technical Field

[0002] The existing production of coated sand shells is still a traditional manual operation. When the coated sand falls into the sand frame, it completely buries the mold. Under the action of high temperature, the coated sand on the surface of the mold quickly solidifies and forms a hard shell.

[0022] The sand suction frame 13 includes two symmetrically arranged straight steel pipes 1301 and two symmetrically arranged straight steel pipes 2 1302. The straight steel pipes 1301 and 1302 are arranged vertically. The straight steel pipes 1301 and 1302 are connected to the straight steel pipes 2 1302 through the bent steel pipes 1303. All the straight steel pipes 1301 and the straight steel pipes 2 1302 and the bent steel pipes 1303 form a frame. One of the straight steel pipes 1301 is fixedly connected to the welding elbow 1314, and the welding elbow 1314 is fixed to the pagoda joint 1315. The pagoda joint 1315 is fixed to the hose 12 through the clamp 11.

The sand absorption frame 13 also includes more than two connecting steel pipes 1305 respectively fixed at the lower ends of the straight steel pipe 1 1301 and the straight steel pipe 2 1302. The connecting steel pipe 1305 at the lower end of the straight steel pipe 1 1301 connected to the welding elbow 1314 is respectively connected to the sand absorption steel pipe 1 1306.

[0023] Working principle: When the cylinder 4 works, the support frame 2 falls onto the mold 1 under the guidance of the guide shaft 7. The function of the support frame 2 is to effectively restrict the coated sand. The coated sand falls into the support frame 2 and completely buries the mold 1. Under the action of high temperature, the coated sand on the surface of the mold 1 quickly solidifies and forms a hard shell. At the same time, the temperature of the mold 1 will also drop rapidly during the crusting process. The coated sand far away from the surface of the mold 1 will not form a hard shell because it cannot get enough heat, and will form floating sand.

[0024] The vacuum pump is in a normally open state, the automatic three-way ball valve 17 is in a normally closed state, the vacuum tube is closed, and the vacuum box 14 is connected to the atmosphere through an interface of the automatic three-way ball valve 17. The electromagnetic valve 16 works, so that the interface of the automatic three-way ball valve 17 connected to the atmosphere is closed and the interface connected to the vacuum tube is opened, so that the vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum box 14 through the vacuum tube and the transition tube 15, and the air in the vacuum box 14 is instantly discharged through the transition tube 15 and the automatic three-way ball valve 17 to form a negative pressure. The vacuum box 14 is connected to the sand suction frame 13 through the hose 12. Under the action of negative pressure, the floating sand enters the vacuum box 14 through the sand suction hole 1313, the sand suction frame 13, and the sand suction pipeline 12. Under the action of gravity, the sand falls to the bottom of the vacuum box 14 to achieve the sand suction function. After the sand suction is completed, the electromagnetic valve 16 works, so that the automatic three-way ball valve 17 closes the connection between the vacuum box and the vacuum pump, and at the same time connects the connection between the vacuum box and the atmosphere, and the vacuum box is instantly depressurized. Among them, the special profiling design of the sand suction frame 13, the design of multiple sand suction holes 1313, the layout of the sand suction holes 1313 adapted to the airflow and the design of the hole size enable the floating sand to be cleaned up synchronously and quickly at multiple points, thereby preventing the floating sand from being softened or even crusted.

The technicians in this technical field may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in a similar manner. As long as they do not deviate from the structure of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the claims, they should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
