DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art belong to the scope of protection of the application.

[0020] The sand grain size optimization process for casting a compressor cylinder block according to the embodiment of the application comprises the following steps: setting an initial target value of the sand grain size (AFS), setting the initial target value of the sand grain size (AFS) as 68±3; according to the requirement of the initial target value of the sand grain size (AFS), feeding 100 / 200 mesh silica sand and 70 / 140 mesh silica sand into the new sand hopper alternately; taking one week as a cycle, first feeding 4 bags (6 tons) of 100 / 200 mesh silica sand into the new sand hopper every day for 3-4 days, and then feeding 4 bags (6 tons) of 70 / 140 mesh silica sand into the new sand hopper every day for 3-4 days, so as to alternately feed the silica sand; mixing the fed silica sand as new sand with bentonite, coal powder and old sand as the sand for casting the cylinder block muffling cavity, detecting the change of the sand grain size twice a week (the detection results are shown in Table 1, and the average value is 68.82), increasing or decreasing 1 day of feeding of the 100 / 200 mesh silica sand and the 70 / 140 mesh silica sand according to the change of the sand grain size, so as to control the sand grain size (AFS) in the range of 68±3; tracking and counting the sand sticking condition of the cylinder block muffling cavity in the same period, and when the sand grain size (AFS) value is 68±3, the sand sticking in the cylinder block muffling cavity is obviously improved.

[0021] Table 1

[0022]

[0023] The verification sequence of the initial target value of the molding sand granularity (AFS) is 68±1, 68±2, 68±3, 68±4, 68±5 in turn. When the initial target value of the molding sand granularity (AFS) is 68±4, the number of unqualified silencing cavity sand sticking of the cylinder block is relatively large, and the effect is relatively poor. Therefore, the molding sand granularity (AFS) is finally selected as 68±3 (the silencing cavity sand sticking of the cylinder block is obviously improved, and the range is relatively large, which is beneficial to process control). According to the range requirement of the molding sand granularity (AFS), a new standard of silica sand is 140 / 70 mesh silica sand, which is provided to the silica sand supplier. The silica sand manufacturer prepares the silica sand meeting the requirement according to the new standard requirement and provides it to the applicant. The 140 / 70 mesh silica sand is directly used for the casting of the cylinder block to replace the mixed sand (100 / 200 mesh and 70 / 140 mesh granularity silica sand) in production, which avoids the complicated operation mode of adding 100 / 200 mesh and 70 / 140 mesh granularity silica sand for several days in the past. Moreover, the molding sand granularity fluctuates greatly and is unstable, which leads to the occurrence of silencing cavity sand sticking during the production of the cylinder block. The addition amount of the coal powder with the anti-sand sticking effect in the molding sand process can be reduced, and the casting material cost can be reduced. At the same time, because the molding sand granularity is fine, the surface roughness of the casting is reduced, the surface finish is improved, and the amount of steel shot for shot blasting of the casting is reduced.

[0024] The technical requirements for purchasing silica sand are shown in Table 2.

[0027] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
