[0043] The side wall of the condenser pipe 6 is fixedly connected with a plurality of heat-conducting sheets 26, and the heat-conducting sheets 26 penetrate the side wall of the plate box 5 and extend to the lower side of the plate box 5. The inner bottom of the chute 9 is provided with a one-way air inlet 27, and the base 1 is provided with a one-way air outlet pipe 28 which is in communication with the inside of the chute 9.

[0044] The side wall of the one-way air outlet pipe 28 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 29, and each air outlet hole 29 is opposite to a heat-conducting sheet 26. The upper end of the plate box 5 is fixedly connected with two baffles 7, and the two baffles 7 are symmetrically arranged along the center of the plate box 5. It should be noted that the left end of the one-way air outlet pipe 28 is in a blocked state, so that the air flow input into the one-way air outlet pipe 28 can only be discharged from each air outlet hole 29.

[0045] During use of the pouring auxiliary device, when the sand mold 34 is poured with molten steel, the driving motor 30 can be started to drive the incomplete gear 14 to rotate cyclically. During the rotation of the incomplete gear 14, the incomplete gear 14 will be engaged with and disengaged from the transmission gears 15 on both sides in sequence.

[0046] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , when the toothed part of the incomplete gear 14 rotates to the left side and is engaged with the left transmission gear 15, the left transmission gear 15 will be driven to rotate, so that the first bevel gear 16 and the second bevel gear 17 drive the worm 18 to rotate, and the worm 18 simultaneously drives the toggle plate 23 to rotate synchronously, and the return spring 31 is retracted.

[0047] The worm 18 also drives the worm wheel 22 to rotate slowly, and drives the threaded cylinder 2 on the left side to rotate synchronously slowly, and at the same time, the threaded rod 3 on the left side extends upward by a distance, so that the plate box 5 and the sand mold 34 above it are pushed to tilt to the right. Subsequently, the toothed part of the incomplete gear 14 rotates to the upper side and is disengaged from the left transmission gear 15, at this time, the transmission gear 15 returns to the free rotation state, referring to Figure 6 , the return spring 31 can drive the toggle plate 23 and the worm 18 to rotate to the reset position, and the second bevel gear 17, the first bevel gear 16 and the transmission gear 15 also rotate to the reset position. When the worm 18 rotates to the reset position, the worm wheel 22 and the threaded cylinder 2 also rotate to the reset position, and the threaded rod 3 moves downward to the reset position, so that the plate box 5 returns to the horizontal state.

[0048] Subsequently, the toothed part of the incomplete gear 14 rotates to the right side and the lower side, and is engaged with and disengaged from the transmission gear 15 on the right side, and the plate box 5 on the right side is also raised and returns to the horizontal state.

[0049] Therefore, the device can drive the plate box 5 and the sand mold 34 above it to slowly rise and fall alternately on the left and right sides after starting, so that it can realize inclined pouring at a certain angle, constantly change the inclined position, and make the steel liquid at the bottom of the inclined angle flow in the sand mold 34 and uniformly fill in the sand mold 34, thereby ensuring the surface quality of the castings poured out to be consistent.

[0050] In addition, the gear 14 will also be engaged and disengaged with the rack 19 on the lower side periodically during rotation, so that the push plate 20 and the rack 19 can be pushed to move left and right reciprocally under the action of the extension spring 21, and the rack 19 pushes the sliding plug 10 to move reciprocally in the sliding groove 9 through the push rod 11. When the sliding plug 10 moves to the right, the cooling liquid in the liquid storage groove 8 can be sucked into the sliding groove 9 through the one-way liquid inlet pipe 33, and when the sliding plug 10 moves to the left, the cooling liquid sucked into the sliding groove 9 can be pushed into the condensing pipe 6 through the one-way liquid outlet pipe 25, and finally extruded back into the liquid storage groove 8 through the liquid return pipe 24. Therefore, when the sliding plug 10 moves left and right, the cooling liquid can be continuously circulated in the condensing pipe 6, so that the heat of the sand mold 34 can be quickly absorbed and dissipated, and the steel liquid in the sand mold can be quickly cooled and formed, thereby improving the pouring and forming efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, when the sliding plug 10 moves to the left, air can be sucked in through the one-way air inlet 27, and when the sliding plug 10 moves to the right, air can be output through the one-way air outlet pipe 28, which blows to the heat-conducting fins 26 from the exhaust holes 29, thereby accelerating the air flow near the heat-conducting fins 26, so that the heat-conducting fins 26 can quickly absorb the heat of the condensing pipe 6 and dissipate it, further enhancing the heat dissipation speed of the heat-conducting fins 26 and the condensing pipe 6, so that the steel liquid in the sand mold can be cooled and formed more quickly.

[0052] The above is only the preferred specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacements or changes to the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
