Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of valve body casting, and in particular to a casting production process for a stacked valve. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the domestic industry is large but not strong, with overcapacity in mid- and low-end products and almost complete reliance on imports for high-end hydraulic components. The hydraulic industry's development lags significantly behind that of the mainframe industry, becoming a major bottleneck restricting the development of the equipment manufacturing industry. Currently, the overall manufacturing technology level of my country's hydraulic components industry still lags behind that of advanced countries. Jiayite Machinery Technology Co., Ltd., a leading provider of complete transmission systems for agricultural machinery, ranks among the top companies in China. As a key component in agricultural machinery hydraulic systems, the superimposed valve features advanced design and high technological content.

[0003] However, during the casting process, the inside of the U-shaped groove on the mud core corresponding to the superimposed valve should have been a flat surface. However, after dissecting the castings, it was found that this position was concave and shrunk. On the far right is the dissected riser of the casting, which did not shrink. In this test, there were 12 castings in two boxes, 10 of which shrunk, with a pass rate of 1 / 6. The qualified castings had shrinkage holes on the upper part of the risers, while the other 5 risers had no shrinkage holes and were smooth. The 5 risers that did not shrink did not compensate for the shrinkage of the casting. After the molten iron is poured, a layer of iron shell is formed on the upper part of the riser when it cools. When the riser shrinks, negative pressure is formed on the upper part, and the outside air pressure cannot be connected to the riser. As the riser continues to cool, the negative pressure on the upper part increases, and finally it approaches a vacuum, becoming a weightless riser, which does not compensate for the shrinkage of the casting and may even cause back-drawing. Summary of the Invention

[0011] L-shaped steps are respectively provided on both sides of the right end of the main valve body, and a rectangular groove is also designed on the upper side of the right end of the main valve body.

[0012] The casting production process of the superimposed valve is to first make a sand box and a mud core, the mud core is placed in the sand box, and a first pouring riser is reserved at the upper end of one side of the mud core.

[0035] Refer to the attached Figure 9-12The casting production process of the stacking valve is to first make a sand box 101 and a mud core 102, the mud core 102 is placed in the sand box 101, and a first pouring port 111 is reserved at the upper end of one side of the mud core 102. A first pouring channel 103 is designed at the position of the first pouring port 111 reserved at the position of the mud core 102 inside the sand box 101. When casting the stacking valve, two stacking valves are used to cast the mud core 102 to share the same main pouring cap port 104. The first The pouring and rising ports 111 are designed to be positioned relative to each other, so that the first pouring channels 103 of the two flasks 101 are connected, forming a riser nest 105 in the middle. A main pouring and rising port 104 is designed on one side of the riser nest 105, and the riser nest 105 is connected to the main pouring and rising port 104 via a second pouring channel 109. A heating block 106 is also placed in the riser nest 105. The heating block 106 is designed as a rectangular block, and support legs 107 are installed at the four corners of the lower end of the heating block 106. All flasks can be designed to share the same flask. Figure 9 As shown in the figure, six products are poured simultaneously, two in a group, and two of the groups also use the main pouring riser 104, so as to reasonably utilize the mold space of the sand box 101 and improve the output.

[0036] A conical groove 108 is designed in the middle of the lower end of the heating block 106, and the height of the supporting foot 107 is 5 mm. The heating block is designed to be a trapezoidal body with a small upper end and a large lower end.

[0038] The main technical parameters of the casting production process of the stacking valve are: 1) material: QT450-10; 2) tensile strength: ≥400MPa; 3) hardness: HB120-175; 5) no shrinkage holes or shrinkage defects; 6) unit weight: 3.5kg.

[0039] In order to break the iron shell that solidifies first above the riser. Make external air pressure act directly on the liquid molten iron and use heating block 106 at the riser. Using heating block 106 is effective, but it must be floated to the liquid surface so that no sealed shell is formed on the riser. Check the bottom of the riser nest 105 in the sand box 101 mold and find that it is flat, not arc-shaped. Once the heating block 106 is firmly attached to the bottom, it cannot produce buoyancy. If you want it to produce buoyancy, you will want the heating block 106 to produce an upward thrust. The heating block 106 itself has a larger draft angle. When the small side of the heating block 106 is facing downward, there is an upward thrust. The other is that the molten iron rushes the heating block 106 to leave the bottom when it is turned over to produce buoyancy. Add four 5mm high support points at the bottom of the heating block 106. When using, put it gently with four feet facing downward. This ensures that the heating block 100% emerges.
