Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of sand core testing technology, specifically relating to a tool for testing sand core scratches using a hot and cold core box process. Background Technology
[0002] The resin for amine-process cold core boxes has two components: Component I is a special phenolic resin; Component II is polyisocyanate. In actual use, two processes are required: sand mixing and core making. First, the two resin components are evenly coated onto the surface of the sand grains through a sand mixing process. Then, the mixed material is injected into the core box, i.e., the mold, and triethylamine aerosol is blown in, causing the resin film evenly coated on the surface of the sand grains to change from a liquid to a solid state. This establishes bonding bridges between the sand grains, forming strength. Good core sand is the guarantee for producing high-quality sand cores.
[0003] The coating process involves mechanically mixing powdered thermosetting phenolic resin with raw sand and curing it upon heating. Later, it evolved to use thermoplastic phenolic resin with a latent curing agent. Hexamethylenetetramine and lubricants are formulated into coated sand through a specific coating process. When the coated sand is heated, the resin coating the sand grains melts. Under the action of the methylene groups released from the decomposition of hexamethylenetetramine, the molten resin rapidly transforms from a linear structure to a non-melting three-dimensional structure, thus solidifying the coated sand.
[0004] Currently, when using the hot and cold core box process to produce sand cores, on-site technicians and relevant personnel need to conduct sampling inspections of the sand cores and perform strength tests on some of them. Only those that pass the tests can proceed to the next process and final casting. The existing testing method typically involves technicians and relevant personnel using their fingernails to scratch the surface of the sand core: the depth of the scratch indicates the strength of the sand core—a shallow scratch indicates high strength, and vice versa. However, this method cannot be expressed or recorded in data, and it cannot be used for batch testing with fingernails, resulting in low measurement accuracy. Furthermore, when the sand cores enter the casting process and ultimately result in defective or scrapped castings, it is impossible to trace the initial sand core strength records, leading to a high scrap rate.
[0005] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a tool for testing the scratches on sand cores in the hot and cold core box process. Summary of the Invention

[0070] S02, rotate the cross-shaped rotating disk 204 on the rotating disk assembly 2 until the indicator mark 203 is aligned with the indicator groove 601 on the position indicator seat 6.
[0071] S03. The operator holds the handle body 5 with their left hand, with the plastic rotating dial 104 facing vertically upwards and the fixed base 9 facing vertically downwards. The sand core body 14 is placed on a flat surface on the table 15. Find a horizontal plane on the sand core body 14 and press the fixed base 9 onto the plane of the sand core body 14. At this time, align the value 0 on the scale 105 with the pointer 106. The operator's left hand presses firmly without letting go.
[0072] S04. At this time, the operator rotates the cross-patterned rotating disk 204 on the rotating disk assembly 2 multiple times with his right hand. At this time, the tooth 1002 on the drill bit 10 continuously penetrates into the sand core body 14 from the surface of the sand core body 14. The cross-patterned rotating disk 204 stops rotating after rotating to the specified number of times.
[0073] When the cross-shaped rotating disk 204 is rotated, the indicator mark 203 on the rotating disk assembly 2 and the indicator groove 601 on the position indicator seat 6 are aligned again to form a complete circle, and so on.
[0074] S05. Check the value displayed on the plastic rotating dial 104. The value obtained is the depth to which the tooth 1002 of the drill bit 10 goes down.
[0075] The smaller the value displayed on the plastic rotating dial 104, the higher the strength of the sand core body 14; the larger the value, the lower the strength of the sand core body 14.
[0076] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0077] 1. Coated sand process: It solves the problem of conveniently viewing and storing the strength test data of the sand core body 14, which facilitates data analysis and traceability; it can detect the scratch depth of different parts of the same sand core body 14, which facilitates the analysis of whether the mold temperature is appropriate;
[0078] Timely inspection of the vent plug for blockages can lead to localized loosening of the sand core body 14, resulting in incomplete casting and reduced strength. This reduces the occurrence of batches of defective sand core bodies 14, thus minimizing environmental pollution from waste. It also prevents defective sand core bodies 14 from entering the casting process, thus improving the yield rate of castings, reducing the scrap rate, and lowering production costs for producers.
[0079] 2. Amine-based cold core box process: The strength changes of the sand core body 14 can be monitored in real time, and the strength changes from initial strength / 1H to 24H can be detected, which is convenient for data analysis and traceability. The strength of different parts of the same sand core body 14 can be detected, which is convenient for analyzing whether the sand injection pressure of the mold is appropriate.
[0080] Check for areas where triethylamine was over-blown or under-blown, and promptly inspect the vent plugs for blockages that could cause localized loosening of the sand core body 14, leading to incomplete injection and reduced strength. Also, check the accuracy of resin addition. Due to the moisture-sensitive nature of cold-box resin, high workshop humidity can cause a decrease in the strength of the sand core body 14. Test the strength data of the sand core body 14 after 24 hours of storage to identify and adjust problems promptly, reducing the environmental pollution caused by discarded batches of defective sand core bodies 14. Preventing defective sand core bodies 14 from entering the casting process results in defective or scrapped castings, improving the yield and reducing the scrap rate. This reduces production costs for manufacturers.
[0081] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention enables easy viewing and storage of the strength test data of the sand core body, facilitates data analysis and traceability, can detect the scratch depth of different parts of the same sand core body, can promptly identify problems and make timely adjustments, and can prevent defective or scrap products from appearing in the casting after defective sand core bodies enter the casting process. This is conducive to improving the yield of castings, reducing the scrap rate, reducing production costs, and providing high measurement accuracy.
[0082] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0083] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
