Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of casting, and in particular relates to a pressure plate type pouring cup automatic placing device. Background Art
[0002] The placement of the pouring cup is a necessary process for foundries. The pouring cup is a component that is often used in the casting process. Its function is to guide the liquid metal into the mold cavity. It is usually an integrally formed component. The pouring cups of small castings are mostly funnel-shaped, and the pouring parts of medium-sized and larger castings are often basin-shaped. Castings with high quality requirements also need to be equipped with filters and other slag collection devices in the pouring cup. Moreover, the pouring cup needs to be attached with a layer of sand on the inner wall before pouring before it can be put into use. In this way, the pouring cup has a certain height during the pouring process of molten iron, which will cause waste of molten iron. In addition, in view of the current soaring labor costs, intelligence is imperative. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a pressure plate type pouring cup automatic placement device.
[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solutions adopted are as follows:
[0005] A pressure plate type pouring cup automatic placement device, comprising a pouring machine and a roller table matched with the pouring machine, including:
[0006] A first manipulator installed before the pouring process and on one side of the roller table;
[0007] A second robot installed after the roller casting process and on the other side of the roller;
[0008] A first and a second placement table installed on both sides of the first manipulator and installed on the frame of the roller for placing the pouring cup and the pressure plate, and a third and a fourth placement table installed on both sides of the second manipulator and installed on the frame of the roller for placing the pouring cup and the pressure plate;
[0009] The pouring cup and the pressing plate are neatly placed on the first storage platform and the second storage platform respectively. When pouring molten iron, the pressing plate presses on the pouring cup to prevent it from being washed away by the molten iron;
[0010] A first sensor installed on the frame of the roller conveyor for sensing whether the casting iron box has reached the position for placing the pouring cup and the pressure plate, and a second sensor installed on the frame of the roller conveyor for sensing whether the casting iron box has reached the position for removing the pouring cup and the pressure plate;
[0011] In addition, it also includes a microcomputer controller for controlling the first manipulator and the second manipulator, and the first sensor and the second sensor are electrically connected to the microcomputer controller.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the pouring cup is in a cup-shaped structure and has an integrally formed circular base. The pressure plate is in a truncated cone shape and has a through hole in the axial direction. The through hole cooperates with the outer circumference of the pouring cup. During pouring, the pressure plate is inserted into the pouring cup and pressed on the base of the pouring cup, and the height of the pressure plate is lower than the height of the pouring cup.
[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the first storage table and the third storage table have the same structure, and a first groove for positioning and placing the pouring cup is provided on the table top;
[0014] The second storage table has the same structure as the fourth storage table, and a second groove for positioning and placing the pressure plate is provided on the table top;
[0015] In addition, the first storage table, the second storage table, the third storage table and the fourth storage table are equipped with universal wheels to facilitate the turnover of each storage table.
[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the positions of the first storage platform, the second storage platform, the third storage platform and the fourth storage platform are fixed positions, which is convenient for each manipulator to locate and grasp;
[0017] A positioning protrusion is installed on the frame of the roller and at the position where each storage table is installed. The positioning protrusion cooperates with the positioning groove opened on the edge of each storage table. At the same time, the positioning protrusion is a permanent magnet.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention realizes automation of the process, reduces labor intensity, liberates labor, and can greatly reduce production costs in the long run. At the same time, automation can improve production efficiency, and the positions of the pouring cup and the pressure plate are accurately positioned;
[0019] The use of pouring cup and pressure plate can reduce the waste of molten iron, avoid the previous process of attaching sand to the inner wall of the pouring cup, reduce the process flow, reduce labor intensity, save casting costs, and increase corporate competitiveness.
