[0040] During the movement of the lower mold 3, the inclined block 501 and the slide bar 502 are in contact. When the lower mold 3 moves to the center of the square shell of the workbench 1, the lower end of the inclined block 501 and the upper end of the slide bar 502 are in contact, and the slide bar 502 slides downward. The slide bar 502 drives the rotating rod 504 to swing, and the rotating rod 504 drives the insulation barrel 506 to move upward. At the same time, molten steel is stored in the pouring barrel 507, and the heating wire 514 is energized to make the molten steel in the pouring barrel 507 in a molten state. The vent hole on the pressure barrel 510 is connected to the hose, and the pressure barrel 510 is filled with nitrogen.

[0041] When the heat preservation barrel 506 moves upward, it drives the guide tube 508 to move upward. The guide tube 508 is inserted into the pouring port of the lower mold 3, and the driving motor 516 is started. The output shaft of the driving motor 516 rotates to drive the large gear 518 and the small gear 519 to rotate. In the initial state, the large gear 518 is meshed with the second gear 522, and the second gear 522 drives the control rod 520 to rotate. The control rod 520 drives the linkage rod 523 to rotate, and the long groove 525 is driven to reciprocate through the roller 524, driving the pull rod 511 along the axial direction of the guide tube 508. When the pull rod 511 moves downward, the pull rod 511 drives the pressure head 512 and the flap 513 to move downward, and the flap 513 presses the nitrogen into the pouring bucket 507 through the connecting pipe 509. Under the action of pressure, the molten steel in the pouring bucket 507 enters the cavity of the lower mold 3 and the upper mold 2 through the liquid inlet hole of the conduit 508. When the pull rod 511 moves upward, the molten steel falls back into the pouring bucket 507. At the same time, nitrogen replenishes the gas in the cavity of the pressure barrel 510 through the hose to ensure that the inside of the pressure barrel 510 is in a constant pressure state.

[0042] When the pouring rate needs to be switched, the cylinder 517 is started, the telescopic rod of the cylinder 517 is contracted, the pinion 519 is meshed with the first gear 521, the first gear 521 drives the control rod 520 to rotate, and the rotation speed of the control rod 520 is changed, thereby changing the moving speed of the pulling rod 511 and reducing the pouring rate.

[0043] The external water pipe 606 is connected to circulating water. When the control lever 520 rotates, the power is input into the transmission 603. The output end of the transmission 603 accelerates and drives the rotating gear 604 to rotate. The rotating gear 604 rotates and drives the lever 607 to slide back and forth axially. The lever 607 drives the swing rod 608 to swing back and forth. The swing rod 608 drives the arc gear 609 to rotate. The arc gear 609 drives the central gear 612 to move back and forth through gear meshing. The circulating water passes through the connecting pipe 613 and enters the upper cooling pipe. 601 and the lower cooling tube 602, the baffle 2 of the central gear 612 and the baffle 1 of the connecting tube 613 are intermittently overlapped to allow circulating water to pass through. When the speed of the control rod 520 changes, the speed of the rotating gear 604 changes, thereby changing the overlap time of the baffle 2 of the central gear 612 and the baffle 1 of the connecting tube 613, thereby controlling the cooling rate of the circulating water. At the same time, the fixing frame 614 is energized, and the magnetism is used to drive the magnetic block 610 to reset, thereby driving the rocker arm 608 to reset, so that the rocker arm 608 swings back and forth.

[0044] After the casting is completed, the mobile motor 402 is restarted, the output shaft of the mobile motor 402 rotates to drive the installation shaft 403 to rotate, the installation shaft 403 drives the sprocket 404 to rotate, the sprocket 404 drives the chain 405 to rotate, and the chain 405 drives the lower mold 3 to move forward through the guide rail 406. When the lower mold 3 moves to the side of the workbench 1, the lower mold 3 is moved out of the workbench 1 by a crane.

[0045] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific implementation modes. Various changes made by technicians in the relevant technical field based on the above-mentioned conception without creative work all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
