DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.

[0034] EXAMPLE

[0035] Referring to Figures 1-8 A production and installation method of a heating material patch in a sand casting process mainly includes the following processing steps:

[0036] S1, establishment of the heating and heat preservation patch: through the setting of the parameters of the process simulation software and simulation, the size and dimensions of the required heating patch are determined, and the heating patch can be smaller than the metal patch in general cases, and then the patch mold is designed;

[0037] S2, preparation of the heating patch: the powdery heating material to be used is fully mixed with a self-hardening binder in a certain proportion, and then is poured into a patch core box with a fixed specific shape for hardening, and after hardening, it is taken out for standby;

[0039] The heat insulation subsidy is to use the heat generating material to replace the metal material of the subsidy, after pouring, the subsidy material burns to generate heat to heat the metal liquid, so that the metal liquid at the subsidy position remains liquid for a certain period of time to act as a feeding channel, and after the casting is completely cooled, the position does not need to be removed because of the final collapse after burning;

[0040] For producing high alloy cast steel material, the cost of removing the subsidy can be greatly saved, and other parts which are difficult to feed and remove can also be designed for directional heat subsidy instead of forming metal subsidy, which can greatly save the production cost;

[0041] The processing equipment used in the production and installation method of the heat generating material subsidy in the sand casting process includes a mixing box 1, a mixing motor 2 is fixed at the bottom of the mixing box 1, a stirring shaft 3 is fixed to the output shaft of the mixing motor 2, the stirring shaft 3 is rotatably connected with the bottom of the mixing box 1, a plurality of stirring rods 4 are fixed to the side wall of the stirring shaft 3, adsorption blocks 12 are fixed to the side wall of the stirring rod 4, a vibration groove 8 is formed in the inner wall of the mixing box 1, a vibration plate 9 is fixed to the side wall of the vibration groove 8, and a striking ball 11 is connected to the inner wall of the vibration groove 8 through a vibration spring 10;

[0042] The upper end of the mixing box 1 abuts against an upper cover 5, two batching boxes 6 are fixed to the upper end of the upper cover 5, and each of the two batching boxes 6 is provided with a proportioning feeding mechanism, and a feeding pipe 7 is inserted through the upper end of the upper cover 5.

[0043] The proportioning feeding mechanism includes a lifting sleeve 15 which is sealingly and slidingly connected with the inner wall of the feeding pipe 7, a load spring 16 is fixed to the bottom of the lifting sleeve 15 and the upper end of the upper cover 5, a driving block 22 is embedded in the side wall of the lifting sleeve 15, an electricity receiving cavity 19 is formed in the side wall of the batching box 6, a pair of resistance plates 21 are fixed to the inner wall of the electricity receiving cavity 19, an electricity receiving plate 20 is slidingly connected with the inner wall of the electricity receiving cavity 19, the electricity receiving plate 20 abuts against the resistance plate 21, the driving block 22 is a permanent magnet, and the electricity receiving plate 20 is adsorbed by the driving block 22.

[0044] The bottom of the upper cover 5 is fixed with a feeding motor 13, the output shaft of the feeding motor 13 penetrates through the upper end of the upper cover 5 and is fixed with a lead screw 14, the lead screw 14 is threadedly connected with the lifting sleeve 15, a discharge port 17 is formed through the side wall of the batching box 6, a guide plate 18 is fixed to the side wall of the batching box 6, the guide plate 18 corresponds in position to the discharge port 17 and the feeding pipe 7, the lead screw 14 can drive the lifting sleeve 15 to move up and down by rotating, the lifting sleeve 15 can drive the lead screw 14 to rotate by moving up and down, the resistance plates 21 complete electricity receiving through the electricity receiving plate 20, the electricity receiving plates 21 have different resistance values at different electricity receiving positions, so as to control the rotating speed of the feeding motor 13, and then control the feeding speed, so as to ensure that the feeding process is reasonable according to the proportioning.

[0045] The inner wall of the feeding pipe 7 is rotationally connected with a rotating shaft 23, and a plurality of rotating plates 24 are fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft 23. The material will be put into the feeding pipe 7 before entering the mixing box 1, and the rotating plates 24 will be rotated under the impact of the material, so that the added material is automatically premixed, thereby improving the subsequent mixing efficiency.

[0046] The side wall of the mixing box 1 is provided with a water injection pipe 25 and a drain pipe 26. The drain pipe 26 is connected with the inside of the mixing box 1 and is provided with an electromagnetic valve. The side wall of the stirring shaft 3 is provided with a water inlet 27 connected with the water injection pipe 25. The stirring rod 4 is a hollow rod. The side wall of the stirring shaft 3 is provided with a distribution port 28 connected with the inside of the stirring rod 4. The end of the stirring rod 4 is provided with a water injection port 29. Water is supplied through the stirring shaft 3 to realize the rotation of the cleaning water flow, so as to comprehensively cover the mixing box 1 and improve the cleaning effect.

[0047] The adsorption block 12 is a permanent magnet, and the impact ball 11 is magnetically attracted by the adsorption block 12. The vibrating plate 9 is a smooth elastic metal plate. A plurality of impact balls 11 are arranged. The impact ball 11 continuously impacts the vibrating plate 9 in the rotation process of the adsorption block 12, so that the vibrating plate 9 can continuously vibrate, so that the material is difficult to adhere to the surface, thereby facilitating the collection of the mixed material and the cleaning of the mixing box 1.

[0048] In the present application, during the mixing process of the heating material and the binder, the mixing motor 2 drives the stirring shaft 3 to rotate, thereby driving each stirring rod 4 to rotate, and the adsorption block 12 on the stirring rod 4 also rotates, thereby enabling the adsorption block 12 to intermittently attract the impact ball 11 in the rotation process. The impact ball 11 collides with the vibrating plate 9 under the action of the magnetic force. Since the magnetic attraction is intermittent, the self-resetting of the vibrating spring 10 enables the impact ball 11 to effectively repeatedly impact the vibrating plate 9, so that the vibrating plate 9 can continuously deform and vibrate during stirring, thereby avoiding the adhesion of the mixed material to the inner wall of the mixing box 1, and facilitating the centralized collection and processing, and the subsequent cleaning.

[0049] During subsequent cleaning, the water injection pipe 25 is connected with the external water pump, water is injected into the inside of the stirring shaft 3 through the water inlet 27, the water flow enters each stirring rod 4 through the distribution port 28, and then is sprayed out through the water injection port 29. Since the stirring rod 4 continuously rotates, the sprayed water flow can effectively cover the inside of the mixing box 1, achieving the effect of comprehensive cleaning. During the rotation process, the water flow is accelerated by the centrifugal force, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Finally, the water flow after cleaning is concentratedly discharged through the drain pipe 26, completing the effective cleaning of the mixing box 1 and avoiding the inconvenience brought by manual cleaning.

[0050] When accurate proportioning mixing is required, the ingredients can be added to the ingredient box 6, under the action of gravity, the lifting sleeve 15 will be pressed down, the load spring 16 will be contracted, and the lifting sleeve 15 will rotate during the downward movement. The surface of the lifting sleeve 15 is provided with a scale, so that the weight ratio of the added ingredients can be accurately measured, thereby realizing accurate proportioning of the total amount of ingredient addition. The downward movement of the lifting sleeve 15 will effectively drive the contact plate 20 to move downward, thereby changing the contact position of the contact plate 20 and the resistance plate 21, and thereby changing the actual access resistance value of the resistance plate 21, so that the resistance value of the resistance plate 21 accessed by different weight ratios of materials is different, and the weight ratio is equivalent to the ratio of the access resistance value, and the access resistance value will directly affect the current value of the circuit, thereby changing the speed of the corresponding feeding motor 13, and the speed ratio of the two feeding motors 13 is the same as the proportioning, and the rotation of the feeding motor 13 will drive the screw rod 14 to rotate, thereby making the lifting sleeve 15 move upward to push the material into the feeding pipe 7, thereby completing the feeding. Since the speed of the feeding motor 13 is proportional, the speed of the screw rod 14 is proportional, the upward speed of the lifting sleeve 15 is proportional, and the addition of the material is proportional, thereby effectively controlling the proportioning of the feeding. Not only can the total proportioning be accurate, but also can be added gradually according to the proportion during the addition process, so that the mixing process is less and more proportional addition and stirring, which greatly improves the mixing and stirring quality.

[0051] At the same time, during the feeding process, the lifting sleeve 15 constantly moves upward, which constantly changes the actual access resistance value of the resistance plate 21, so that the speed of the feeding motor 13 is constantly reduced, but still maintains the corresponding proportion. During the whole feeding process, the materials are added according to the proportion, and the feeding speed is gradually slowed down. Therefore, when the internal space of the mixing box 1 is sufficient in the early stage, the materials can be quickly added and mixed, and when the internal space of the mixing box 1 is sufficient in the late stage, the materials can be slowly added and mixed, so that the mixing effect is improved, thereby improving the subsequent preparation quality.

[0052] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
