DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and by way of examples. The following examples are intended to explain the present invention but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0037] Example

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 17The automatic box locking device for the iron mold sand-coated casting pouring trolley in this embodiment includes a trolley box card closing guide plate 1, an upper beam 2, a column 6, a lifting hydraulic cylinder 3, a lifting movable beam 5 and a plurality of box card locking and tightening devices 4. The upper part of the column 6 is fixed to the upper beam 2, and the column 6 is arranged on the ground on both sides of the pouring trolley. The lifting hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixed on the upper beam 2, and a plurality of box card locking and tightening devices 4 are all installed on the lifting movable beam 5. The piston rod of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 3 is connected to the lifting movable beam 5.

[0039] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the box card locking and tightening device 4 includes a pneumatic rotary motor 41, a fork-type locking rotary head 42 and multiple float automatic alignment devices 43. The multiple float automatic alignment devices 43 are all connected to the lifting beam 5. The fork-type locking rotary head 42 is installed on the output shaft 411 of the pneumatic rotary motor 41.

[0040] See also Figure 5-Figure 7 The float automatic alignment device 43 of this embodiment is used to automatically align the center lines of the two when the center line position of the trolley box card screw is not concentric with the center line position of the corresponding box card locking and tightening device 4 due to position positioning error.

[0041] The multiple float automatic alignment devices 43 of this embodiment all include a floating steel ball 431, a pneumatic motor fixing plate 432 and a floating device bottom plate 433. Four floating steel balls 431 are arranged in each float automatic alignment device 43, so that the device can move freely within a certain range to achieve the purpose of automatic alignment. The range of free movement in this device is within a radius of 12 mm.

[0042] The floating device bottom plate 433 of the four float ball automatic alignment devices 43 of this embodiment is installed on the lifting beam 5 of the installation box card locking and tightening device 4, and the installation position is consistent with the four box card positions on the casting trolley. The pneumatic motor fixing plate 432 is fixedly connected to the fixed installation mechanism at the bottom of the pneumatic rotary locking device.

[0043] The box card locking and tightening device 4 of this embodiment is a commercial pneumatic motor; a fork-type locking rotating head 42 is installed on the output shaft 411 of the pneumatic rotary motor 41.

[0044] The two fork frame straight rods 421 of the fork frame locking rotating head 42 of the present embodiment are provided with a connecting flange 423 between the output shaft 411 of the pneumatic rotary motor 41; the two fork frame straight rods 421 of the fork frame locking rotating head 42 are round rod structures, and the heads of the round rod structures are round spherical rods 422 with a certain taper. This shape is mainly to enable the two round rods of the fork frame locking rotating device to automatically slide and insert into the gaps on both sides of the tightening head of the screw rod head of the trolley box during the descending process, that is, if the fork frame is just in the gap on both sides of the cross bar, the fork frame locking rotating head 42 can be lowered and directly inserted. When the fork frame round rod just touches the cross round rod of the screw head, under the action of the tapered ball at the front part of the round rod of the fork frame locking rotating head 42, the locking pneumatic motor can automatically rotate a certain angle, so that the round rod of the fork frame locking rotating head 42 can automatically insert into the gaps on both sides of the rotating cross round rod of the locking screw of the trolley box. In this way, during the descent of the box card locking and tightening device 4, the two round rod heads of the fork-frame locking rotating head 42 in the device can be automatically inserted into the tightening spaces on both sides of the horizontal round rod of the head of the box card screw of the casting trolley. Until the lifting hydraulic cylinder 3 is lowered into place. Turn on the air motor intake, and the pneumatic rotary locking device begins to rotate. Under the action of the rotational force, the float automatic alignment device 43 will automatically align the screw center line of the box card in the casting trolley with the rotation center line of the fork-frame locking rotating head 42 in this device, and rotate the screw of the box card clockwise, thereby tightening and compacting the upper and lower iron molds to achieve the locking operation of the upper and lower iron molds. During the locking process of the box card, the trolley box card closing guide plate 1 is always close to the box card push rod wheel of the casting trolley to prevent the box card from opening outwards during the locking process.

[0045] In this embodiment, there are two trolley box card closing guide plates 1, and the two trolley box card closing guide plates 1 are respectively installed on the two side columns 6.

[0046] In this embodiment, four lifting guide rods 7 are installed on the lifting beam 5. The lifting guide rods 7 slide up and down in the guide sleeve holes on the upper beam 2 as the lifting beam 5 moves up and down, so that the lifting beam 5 can be lifted and lowered smoothly, and at the same time, the lifting beam 5 will not twist when the box card locking and tightening device 4 performs the box card locking work.

[0047] In this embodiment, there are four box card locking and tightening devices 4, and the four box card locking and tightening devices 4 are all installed on the lifting beam 5. The positions of the four box card locking and tightening devices 4 correspond to the positions of the four box cards on the casting trolley.

[0048] In this embodiment, the locking box card closing guide plate 1, the column 6 and the upper beam 2 adopt an integral frame structure.

[0049] In this embodiment, the lifting movable beam 5 equipped with the box card locking and tightening device 4 moves along with the lifting and lowering of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 3.

[0050] The box card locking and tightening device 4 of this embodiment realizes the rotational locking of the screw rod of the iron box card by rotating clockwise.

[0051] The working principle of the automatic box locking device of this embodiment: the box card locking and tightening device 4 is used to lock / loosen the box of the casting trolley. Two trolley box card closing guide plates 1 (progressive propulsion tracks) are set on both sides of the trolley in the running direction of the casting trolley. When the casting trolley is moving, the casting trolley gradually enters the automatic locking device of this application, and the push rod wheel on the push rod of the box card connecting rod mechanism on the casting trolley enters the trolley box card closing guide plate 1 (progressive propulsion track), and the casting trolley box card closing push rod wheel moves along the trolley box card closing guide plate 1, so that the push rods on both sides of the trolley are gradually pushed toward the center line of the trolley a certain distance, thereby closing the box card on the casting trolley to the iron mold locking box card position. When the locking box card device on the trolley closes and reaches the iron mold locking box card position, the trolley stops moving, and the four tightening devices above the box card tightening screws on both sides of the trolley automatically fall down and automatically align with their corresponding tightening screws. Then the four screws can be tightened to lock the upper and lower iron molds, automatically completing the process of locking the upper and lower iron molds on the casting trolley.

[0052] See also Figure 8-Figure 17 The working process of the automatic locking box device of the pouring trolley for iron mold sand casting in this embodiment is as follows: in the pouring section of the iron sand production line, the pouring trolleys are connected one by one in a row, and their forward transportation adopts pulsating push transportation. The pouring trolley Z with box cards carrying upper and lower iron molds on the pouring section moves along the running direction of the pouring trolley in the pouring section under the action of the trolley pusher system. Each time it moves, it transports a distance of the length of a trolley. The trolley gradually enters the automatic box closing and locking device station of the upper and lower iron molds in this application document. As the pouring trolley moves forward, the pushing wheels on the pushing rods of the box card devices on both sides of the pouring trolley contact the trolley box card closing guide plate 1. Under the action of the trolley box card closing guide plate 1, the pushing wheels gradually move closer to the center line of the trolley, driving the box cards on the pouring trolley to gradually close toward the center line of the trolley, until the box cards on the pouring trolley are completely closed, so that the trolley box card locking mechanism is in the box closing and locking working position, the trolley stops moving, and then the upper and lower iron mold box closing and locking operations are started at this position. The hydraulic cylinder on the frame beam 2 of the locking and tightening device of the present application document drives the lifting movable beam 5 on which the box card locking and tightening device 4 is installed to begin to descend. As the hydraulic cylinder descends, the fork-frame type locking rotating head 42 of the box card locking and tightening device 4 descends accordingly. After hitting the horizontal round rod of the locking screw head of the trolley box card, the two round rods of the fork-frame type locking rotating head 42 can be automatically inserted into the empty spaces on both sides of the rotating horizontal round rod of the locking screw of the trolley box card. The hydraulic cylinder continues to descend for a certain distance and then stops. The distance L from the bottom of the round rod head of the fork-frame type locking rotating head 42 to the upper plane of the trolley box card is greater than b+20 mm, and b represents the distance from the lower plane of the lower iron running edge to the upper plane of the lower end protrusion of the trolley box card; (see Figure 12-13 ), to ensure that the bottom of the locking fork frame of the box card will not touch the upper plane of the box card during the locking process, causing the locking fork frame to be blocked and stop rotating, resulting in the box card being unable to be locked. Then the compressed air is led to rotate the pneumatic motor. As the pneumatic motor rotates, the fork frame locking rotating head 42 drives the box card locking screw to rotate, locking the upper and lower iron molds. After the iron mold is locked, the casting trolley, under the action of the trolley pusher system, pushes the casting trolley after the upper and lower iron molds are locked away from the iron mold closing and locking station, and at the same time pushes the next trolley that needs to be locked into the device of this application document (iron mold closing and locking station). After the iron mold is locked, the trolley enters the molten iron pouring section, and the molten iron can be poured. The purpose of using a pneumatic motor is to adjust the size of the closing locking force of the upper and lower iron molds by adjusting the air pressure of the compressed air to meet the different requirements of different castings for the required closing locking force.

[0053] The iron mold closing box locking device for the casting trolley with a built-in locking device in this embodiment is mainly used for locking the upper and lower iron molds in the casting section of the mechanized and automated iron mold sand-coated casting production line, and then the molten iron can be poured. Before the casting trolley carrying the upper and lower iron molds after closing the box enters the molten iron pouring section, the upper and lower iron molds must be tightly locked with the box card locking device built into the casting trolley.

[0054] This embodiment enables the above-mentioned actions that originally needed to be completed manually to be automatically completed by a mechanical device; the structure of the pouring trolley Z with box card in this application, since the applicant has previously submitted patent application documents for the structure of the pouring trolley, this structure will not be expanded in this application, and this application is an automatic box locking device for an iron mold sand-coated casting pouring trolley.

[0055] Through the above description, those skilled in the art can already implement it.

After hitting the horizontal round rod of the locking screw head of the trolley box card, the two round rods of the fork-frame locking rotating head can automatically insert into the empty spaces on both sides of the rotating horizontal round rod of the locking screw of the trolley box card. The hydraulic cylinder continues to descend for a certain distance and then stops. The distance from the bottom of the round rod head of the fork-frame locking rotating head to the upper plane of the trolley box card is L>b+20 mm, and b represents the distance from the lower plane of the lower iron type running edge to the upper plane of the protrusion at the lower end of the trolley box card; then compressed air is introduced to rotate the pneumatic motor. As the pneumatic motor rotates, the fork-frame locking rotating head drives the box card locking screw to rotate, locking the upper and lower iron types; After the iron mold is locked, the casting trolley, under the action of the trolley pushing system, pushes the locked casting trolley away from the iron mold closing and locking station, and at the same time pushes the next trolley that needs to be locked into the iron mold closing and locking station; the trolley after the iron mold is locked enters the molten iron pouring section for pouring of molten iron.
